Jiang Youran, reborn at the age of four, decided to marry her mother, Mrs. Su—who died in depression before she was 28 in her previous life—to her cousin, Duke Ping, who had always harbored feeling...
Manager Luo slumped helplessly by the door, tears streaming down his face.
I wonder if that little lucky baby understands what she means?
She is now so fat that she has difficulty walking.
She couldn't understand it before. During the famine years, she was struggling to make ends meet, and after her cloth shop was robbed, she lost her livelihood. How could she get fatter every day?
Her husband and mother-in-law despised her, and her sister-in-law even made sarcastic remarks, saying that she had secretly hoarded and eaten food. Otherwise, how come the whole family was starving while she was getting fatter every day? It was as if she could gain weight just by drinking water.
These words woke her up.
She suddenly remembered that time last year when she confronted the legendary Little Lucky Baby from the Yun Family Cloth Shop across the street, and she said this: "You can gain weight just by taking a breath or drinking a sip of water!"
She trembled as she recalled those seemingly true yet false legends.
I must have offended Xiaofubao with my words to deserve this verbal punishment!
So when she heard that the Yun family had returned to Taizhou, she waited in front of the cloth shop that had never opened, thinking that if she had the chance to see this little Fu Bao, she must not make a fuss, but quietly apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness!
Only then can you absolve yourself of the consequences of your words!
That's why she acted that way just now; I wonder if Xiao Fubao understood.
Xiao You Ran left looking completely bewildered.
Upon entering the largest restaurant in Wufeng County, she sat down with her older brother and sister. Wen Yuanbai, disregarding the presence of Yun Tiankuang between them, reached for the teapot and poured her a cup of tea. "Junior Sister, you must be thirsty after walking for so long. Have a drink!"
Suddenly, a "ding" sounded in Xiao Youran's mind.
She understood what Manager Luo meant!
She hurriedly opened her little notebook in her mind and sure enough, she found a page with an account that said Manager Luo could "gain weight just by taking a breath or drinking a sip of water!"
She gasped and quickly pressed the "Completed" button, ending her wish.
Everyone found her startled expression amusing.
Sun Chengyuan asked worriedly, "You Ran, what's wrong?"
Xiao Youran shook her head. "It's nothing."
As she said this, the image of Manager Luo's pleading eyes appeared before her eyes, and a sense of guilt welled up in her heart. She secretly made a note of it: "May she have the figure of a devil and the face of an angel."
She saw the phrase "devil's figure, angel's face" in her later life; it was the dream of countless women.
I hope she will have a beautiful life in the second half of her life!
Meanwhile, Yun Yue and the Taizhou governor and his officials sat down and chatted happily. Sun Tongzhi told about how his son had been saved by his little benefactor, as well as the glorious deeds of Xiao Fubao and his sister and the two divine doctors who worked together to save Dadu Village. He couldn't help but become interested in Su Youchen, his former nephew and now stepson whom he hadn't seen for many years.
Surrounded by a group of ladies, Madam Su chatted about clothes and jewelry, quite pleased with herself.
At this moment, an official rushed in and searched the hall before finding Magistrate Cao in an inconspicuous corner. He immediately stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.
Magistrate Cao was horrified. He had intended to stand up and ask the prince for help, but he fell off his chair because his hands and feet were too weak.
All eyes turned to that direction.
Upon seeing this, Magistrate Cao disregarded who the highest-ranking official was and immediately burst into tears, crying, "Sanyangshan Coal Mine... the mine... has collapsed!"
Everyone was immediately horrified.
Without saying a word, Wen Yuanbai grabbed Xiao Youran's hand and said, "Let's go! Let's go save them!"
With that, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, and with Xiao Youran, he quickly disappeared outside the door in eighteen steps of Lingyun.
Everyone: ...
This was the first time Yun Yue had seen Xiao Youran use light-body skills. He glanced at Su Shi at the other table in surprise, but seeing that her expression was normal, he knew that she was already used to it.
It's clear that Xiao Youran and Wen Yuanbai's master is quite capable.
The governor of Taizhou, surnamed Wan, felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this. The mine must have collapsed because the ground underneath was dug too low, and who knows how many lives were lost!
He immediately bowed to Yun Yue to apologize, and then hurriedly led Sun Tongzhi and the county magistrate Cao to Sanyang Mountain.
Madam Su and the other ladies: ...
Yun Yue, all alone in the male guest section: ...
Yun Manyan, Yun Tiankuang, and Sun Chengyuan: ...
On the other side, Wen Yuanbai and Xiao Youran arrived at the foot of Sanyang Mountain in a carriage.
The stationed soldiers were in chaos, and a group of villagers' families were crying and wailing nearby.
Wen Yuanbai took Xiao Youran's hand and leaped up to the top of the mountain in a few bounds.
Xiao Youran saw that the large pit where they had cooked when they took refuge last time was now filled with excavated coal gangue, and the mountain surrounding the cave had been dug into a large recess.
Presumably, the open-pit coal mine was almost exhausted, and they wanted to dig into the mountainside, so they opened several other mine shafts.
In ancient times, mining was not possible to penetrate deep into the mountains. Mining could only begin from the outer perimeter. If conditions allowed, a small hole would be dug, and two people would climb in and out together.
A crowd had gathered not far away, which was probably the location of the accident.
Nan Zhuo stepped forward and parted the crowd, letting his master and Xiao Youran come forward. He hesitated for a moment, "Master, we don't know if there will be any more landslides here?"
Wen Yuanbai pulled Xiao Youran through the crowd without answering, his expression grave.
Xiao Youran looked completely bewildered. There was nothing she could do about the mine collapse.
A villager recognized the two and cried tears of joy, "It's Xiao Fubao! It's Xiao Fubao! My Erzhuzi is saved!"
"Please, Little Lucky Baby, save my father!" A child knelt down before Xiao Youran.
Xiao Youran looked even more exasperated.
Have you forgotten that I'm only five years old?
I'm only five years old!
Nan Zhuo summoned several guards who kept a close watch around the mountain, fearing that any more rocks or debris might fall.
A huge rock blocked a small hole.
Wen Yuanbai pointed to the large rock blocking the cave entrance and asked, "Little Youran, do you have a solution?"
Xiao Youran was even more confused. "What can I do?"
After saying that, she pointed to the tip of her nose and said, "Does Senior Brother think I'm a strongman?"
That rock was as tall as an adult.
This tonnage...
Senior brother thinks too highly of her, doesn't he?
You expect a five-year-old girl like me to figure out how to move this huge rock? What were you thinking?
Wen Yuanbai gestured for Nan Zhuo and the others to come forward and try. One of them grabbed one side of the stone and used his internal energy, but the stone did not budge.
Faint cries for help could be heard coming from the other side of the rock. Some villagers heard them and shouted back, telling them not to be afraid, that people outside were trying to rescue them.
The stone was so large that everyone was stumped.
Nan Zhu muttered, "If only the legendary Xiang Yu were here, he could lift a thousand-pound cauldron all by himself."
A thousand-pound cauldron?
jack!
Xiao Youran suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She pulled her senior brother to the other side of the boulder to block everyone's view, and immediately summoned her notebook to replace the jack.
