After she finished speaking, Aunt Chi fainted.

Old Man Chi, holding Aunt Chi in his arms, shouted anxiously, "Quick, find a doctor! Find a doctor!"

A group of people got busy.

No one noticed that Sister-in-law Chi and Madam Zhou walked together, their heads close together, whispering something to each other.

Meng Sanchun said to Chi Dashan, "Don't worry, Chen Yi told me before he left that I will definitely find Tangtang."

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Chun." Chi Dashan's limbs went limp.

He couldn't imagine what his parents would do if his sister couldn't be found...

Meng Sanchun patted him on the shoulder and left in a hurry.

After everyone had left the Li family's house.

Li Cuiliu tugged at Zhou Shi's arm and asked anxiously, "Mother, is this none of your business?"

She was really unsure.

Because she knows her mother too well.

"What are you talking about? What does this have to do with me? I haven't left home all day." Zhou slapped Li Cuiliu's hand that was grabbing her arm, and poked her daughter's forehead in annoyance. "Are you still my own daughter?"

"I warned you because I was worried about you. Mother, you haven't forgotten about being struck by lightning before, have you?"

Li Cuiliu still didn't believe her mother.

But in the past two days, her mother has indeed not left the house.

Besides, given her mother's personality, how could she possibly keep things a secret?

Zhou felt a chill run down her spine, realizing her daughter suspected her. She quickly said, "No, Cuiliu, you said your second brother and sister-in-law... they wouldn't really have kidnapped Tangtang, would they? If it really is them, we, we..."

"Shut up! The second brother would never do such a thing!"

Li Guangmao cursed irritably and went inside to get his pipe.

Zhou rolled her eyes in anger and muttered under her breath, "He just knows how to be tough on me!"

Seeing that she couldn't get any more information out of her, Li Cuiliu stopped asking.

But my heart has been hanging in suspense ever since...

When Chi Tang woke up, she found herself lying on a rather luxurious and comfortable bed.

She mumbled and struggled for a long time before finally getting up like a little turtle.

Where is this?

Looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, Chi Tang felt somewhat puzzled.

Li Lao Er kidnapped her, so it's impossible that he would send her to such a nice place, right?

Just as I was pondering this, a voice suddenly sounded behind me.

Aren't you scared?

It was the voice of a somewhat weak young boy.

"ah!"

Chi Tang screamed in fright and quickly twisted her thick little neck to turn around and look.

It turned out there was someone behind her all along, but she hadn't seen them because it was dark under the light.

The boy looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, with an elegant and refined demeanor, and an air of otherworldly grace.

His face was so pale it was almost transparent, and his body was extremely thin, with a pointed chin and clearly defined bones.

Skin and bones.

"Aren't you scared?" the boy asked again.

This little girl is so clever.

Chi Tang shook her head and asked him, "Swallow?"

Who is it?

The boy paused, a look of bewilderment flashing in his long, slanted fox-like eyes: "What?"

"wet………"

The chubby baby stood there with his mouth open, trying his best to pronounce the correct words.

Unfortunately, the hardware wasn't up to par!

Enraged, Chi Tang slapped the bed!

That's infuriating!

"Um, are you asking who I am?" the boy guessed.

Chi Tang's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

With just this nod, a double chin instantly appeared.

The little guy seemed to have forgotten the danger, his brain had gone blank, and in order to prevent his double chin from showing, he raised his little head and looked down at people.

The boy smiled and said, "My name is Shen Nanxun."

"I!"

Chi Tang, the chubby boy, pointed to himself.

How did she get here?

You call yourself Shen Nanxun? Who knows who Shen Nanxun is?

Shen Nanxun answered honestly, "Your family sold you to my family."

Because his health was too poor, he was already at his last gasp.

So his family searched everywhere for a girl with auspicious birth charts, hoping to bring him good luck through marriage.

He refused.

But he couldn't stop his seventy-year-old grandmother from crying and begging.

He had no choice but to agree.

No matter what, he never expected that the woman his family had arranged for him to marry to bring him good luck was only... How old is she? Is she even a year old?

He had never interacted with such a young child before, and given how chubby the little guy in front of him was, he really didn't know how old he was.

"bad!"

The chubby girl's "bad" was shouted very clearly.

She knew Li Lao Er wouldn't do anything good!

So, stealing her out was like selling her?

But she didn't understand.

Although the two families have conflicts, and you could even say they don't get along very well, they don't really have any deep-seated hatred for each other, right?

Li Lao Er wasn't exactly desperate, so why did he kidnap her and sell her?

Didn't Li Lao Er know that if he reported it to the authorities, he would be a fugitive for life?

I just can't figure it out.

“Yes, your family sold you out, that’s bad,” Shen Nanxun said.

Xiaochi Tang's eyes widened.

How dare you say her family is bad?

"You're bad!"

This time, his pronunciation was quite clear.

Chi Tang expressed his satisfaction.

Shen Nanxun was both amused and exasperated: "Don't worry, your family isn't exactly good people anyway, since they'd sell you out for money. You might as well stay at my house. I'll treat you well, even if... even if I die, I'll beg my family before I die not to let you be buried with me."

He naturally knew what his family was planning.

A Taoist priest once said that.

Find a woman whose birth date and time match his, and have her bring him good fortune. Even if she can't bring him back to life, having her buried with him after his death will ensure his success in the next life.
