Chapter 139: The destiny mission triggered by the heroine
Fang Lingchu looked at the few people, patted Yu Shuang's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Let's go, grandma."
The prince found a fan from somewhere and held it in his hand. Combined with his temperament, he looked like a dandy young man from a poor family.
Yu Shuang took Fang Lingchu's hand and said, "Shall we go now? No need for a carriage?"
Fang Lingchu thought for a moment and said, "No need. We want to infiltrate the people. Riding in a carriage won't look right. Got it?"
Yu Shuang nodded, not quite understanding, and then asked, "Where are we going?"
Fang Lingchu smiled and then the few of them walked slowly through the mountains and forests, and soon they met a girl carrying a backpack.
From a distance, the girl seemed to be digging something.
Fang Lingchu supported Yu Shuang and said, "Grandma, go slower. We will be able to enter the city soon."
Yu Shuang saw that Fang Lingchu was trying to attract the girl's attention, so she patted her hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my daughter. It's all my fault for being useless and unable to protect your parents."
The content of the two people's conversation and the sound of their careful sobbing quickly attracted the attention of the girl in front.
She was wearing a coarse linen dress, with a very old red cloth tied around her head. Two small braids hung over her shoulders. Her hair was a little dry and yellow, but it did not affect her beauty.
At this time the system said: [That’s right, host, this is the heroine, Little Wife Wen, who is similar to Lin Wanrou. She has a talent for medicine, and today is the day she was forced to marry the old man, the hero.
Our mission is to save her and give her the opportunity to learn medicine and become the chief physician of the Dragon Kingdom.
(Note: After leaving the capital, the heroine's inner voice can only be heard by a few people around her and some specific people.)
When Fang Lingchu saw the luck mission, he was speechless!
She was just chatting with Yu Shuang when she suddenly triggered a destiny mission, which was about saving the heroine from marrying an old man.
(Luck mission: Save the heroine of a sadistic novel, luck points: 20.)
Originally Fang Lingchu didn't want to accept it, after all, she wanted to go back and have a good rest, but the luck points given were too many, and she could draw intermediate skills. How could Fang Lingchu not be tempted!
When Fang Lingchu saw the girl's face, he knew she must be the heroine.
There's no doubt about it, she has that soft and innocent look and temperament, plus that good-looking face.
The girl was attracted by the conversation between Fang Lingchu and Yu Shuang, and felt pity for them when she saw the old, weak and sick group of them.
Just as she was hesitating whether to come up and help, Yu Shuang suddenly went dark and fainted.
This action scared Hua and Yue who were supporting her, and Fang Lingchu immediately started crying.
"Wow, wow, wow, grandma, are you okay? Brother, what happened to grandma? Grandma, please don't abandon us two! Grandma..."
Fang Lingchu cried miserably, looking heartbroken.
Gu Wangyan and the prince were shocked. If they hadn't known in advance that Fang Lingchu and Yu Shuang were trying to attract the attention of the heroine, they would have taken it seriously.
The girl saw the old man fall down and hurried over to check.
She was originally afraid that the other party would not let her help because she was a woman!
Fang Lingchu looked at the girl who suddenly appeared and asked with tears in her eyes, "Sister, are you the Taifu?"
The girl gently helped to feel the pulse, and then said: "The old man is fine, it's just that the sun is too strong, and he is overworked and hasn't eaten. That's why he is like this. He will be fine after eating something.
I'm not a taifu, I'm just learning a little bit, and my family used to be one."
When Fang Lingchu heard her say this, he lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
The prince pretended to be sad and said, "We have nothing to eat. Grandmother hasn't eaten anything all day."
After hearing what the prince said, the heroine looked at her. When she saw the prince's face, she was stunned.
But he recovered his composure in just a moment and said, "I still have some food here. Let's give it to the old man first."
After Fang Lingchu thanked him profusely, he quickly gave the food to the maid to feed Yu Shuang.
The heroine observed Fang Lingchu and the others while taking her things. Seeing that the old man was almost awake, she said, "The old man is fine. I'll leave first."
Seeing her about to leave, Fang Lingchu quickly stood up and asked, "Sister, can you do us one more favor? I'll definitely repay you when we find my uncle in the capital, okay? Although I don't have much money right now, but..."
Fang Lingchu pretended to search around and found a silver hairpin. She took it out and hesitated for a moment. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "I can give you this hairpin. Sister, can you please help us? We haven't eaten for a long time and we have no place to live. Please."
After saying that, Fang Lingchu was about to kneel down in front of the man. Seeing Fang Lingchu like this, the heroine quickly pulled him up.
At this time, the prince also walked over and said, "Miss, no offense, but we are desperate and can only ask for your help. If you need us in the future, we will do our best to help."
The heroine looked at the five of them. Two men were injured, an old man was dying, and the three little girls were dirty, as if they had suffered a great disaster.
Unable to resist the curiosity, he asked, "Can I ask what happened to you?" Fang Lingchu sobbed and replied, "My family suffered a great disaster. We were planning to seek refuge with my uncle in the capital, but we ran into bandits along the way and all our money was stolen. If it weren't for the guards at home who risked their lives to protect us, we..."
Speaking of this, Fang Lingchu threw herself into her brother's arms and cried so sadly!
Gu Wangyan, who was standing behind, saw the prince holding Fang Lingchu's hand, and a murderous look flashed across his eyes, but he quickly recovered.
But his eyes were still on the prince's hand.
The prince seemed unaware of the gazes behind him and continued to act out the role of brother and sister in distress with Fang Lingchu.
"We might die on the road. My sister is in poor health, and my grandmother is in this state now. If we can't find a place to stay, I don't know what will happen."
When the heroine saw them, she said, "My name is Chang Yingying, and my home is in Changjia Village. If you don't mind, you can go to my house first..."
Before Chang Yingying had finished speaking, Fang Lingchu hurriedly continued, "I don't mind. Thank you, Sister Yingying. Thank you. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Sister, you will surely live a long life."
Chang Yingying smiled gently, then said, "But I can't go back yet. I need to pick some herbs. You guys wait here for me."
Hearing Chang Yingying say this, Yu Shuang, who had just woken up, said: "Thank you for taking me in, young lady."
Then she wanted to say something to the prince, but she didn't know what name to call him. Then she suddenly had an idea and said, "Tai'er, go and help Miss Yingying."
