Chapter 1: The birth of a beloved daughter, the fruit of enlightenment

Dajing, Yunzhou, Feilei City.

A night of heavy snow covered the entire dilapidated city in a blanket of white, making the air extremely cold.

The sky was gray and the wind was cold as a knife, cutting through the bones.

Li Che tightened his thin cotton coat and held a frozen crucian carp in his hand. This was a fish he had bought in winter at a high price.

To nourish my pregnant wife.

Li Che stroked his untidy beard and blew a puff of warm white air into his palm. Braving the cold wind and stepping on the snow, he walked quickly along the broad streets of Feilei City towards home.

It has been nineteen years since Li Che traveled through this world. From a newborn baby to a poor citizen struggling to make a living, he has given up the fantasy of having a golden finger.

The high-rise buildings and neon lights have long become a dream, leaving only memories and we can never go back.

This world is similar to the ancient times, but even more dangerous, with natural disasters, man-made calamities, and evil spirits running rampant, making it very difficult for people to survive.

After accepting his fate, Li Che only wanted to protect his wife and children, live a peaceful and stable life, and lead a good second life.

According to the arrangement of his family, he got married at the age of eighteen. He had sex on the wedding night and had sex with his wife at the first try. Now his wife is ten months pregnant and is about to give birth.

Feilei City is very large and is divided into the inner city and the outer city. The inner city is said to be where aristocratic families and officials live. The streets are wider, life is extremely luxurious, and public security is tighter.

Those who can enter the inner city are people of status.

As for the outer city, it is where the majority of hard-working people live.

After walking along the long street for several miles and turning into a small alley, you will see a row of low, black-tiled earthen houses.

The soft snow was stepped on by hurried footsteps, making a crunching sound.

"Brother Che! Oh, Brother Che, you're finally back from work!"

"Your wife is about to give birth, go back and see her!"

"You're going to be a father!"

In the distance, some neighbors who knew Li Che saw him and started calling out to him.

Li Che was shocked when he heard this.

At the same time, he quickly quickened his pace and ran towards his own mud house, with the white snow flying behind him!

It was already slightly dark when Li Che arrived at the door of his house. The old wooden door was open. From inside the house came the woman's soft cries of pain and the midwife's hurried, encouraging voice.

"You're back?"

In the small courtyard outside the mud house, on a shabby bench, an old scholar wearing a cotton-padded jacket inside and a tattered scholar's robe outside was sitting upright, puffing on a pipe.

This scholar was Li Che's uncle, Li Liang.

When Li Che was eight years old, his parents died of illness. He was fostered in his uncle's home, where he grew up successfully, got married and had children. His uncle's family also helped a lot.

"Don't worry. Grandma Lei is the best midwife within ten miles. Xiaoya will be fine. Both mother and child will be safe." The old scholar said, holding a pipe in his mouth.

Having lived two lives, this was the first time he became a father, so Li Che was naturally nervous.

Carrying a frozen crucian carp, he paced back and forth in front of the earthen house.

This made the old scholar a little impatient, "What are you doing hanging around, you little brat? You're going to be a father, but you're not steady at all!"

"Can you put down the frozen fish in your hand first?"

Li Che glanced at him without replying. Naturally, he did not put the fish down, but he stopped pacing.

Because a loud cry suddenly came from inside the house! Li Che's eyes froze, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand.

Li Liang, an old scholar who was smoking a pipe, also stood up immediately, put out his cigarette, and looked into the house eagerly.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar like rolling thunder rang out from the dark sky, frightening the old scholar so much that he shuddered and muttered to himself.

Li Che subconsciously raised his head and vaguely saw a thunder dragon rolling in the sky, flickering.

Birth accompanied by strange phenomena? Do you think this is a fantasy novel? Li Che didn't think about it at all. Following the midwife's call, he hurried into the house.

The fire in the charcoal stove in the house dispelled the cold and brought some warmth.

The midwife held a rosy baby in her arms and looked at Li Che: "Congratulations, Master Li. Congratulations, Master Li. It's a lovely daughter."

Li Che was delighted. He didn't know where to put his hands holding the frozen crucian carp for a moment. He could only keep saying, "Thank you, thank you..."

After quickly thanking the midwife, he belatedly threw away the crucian carp.

Carefully, with trembling hands, he took the child and looked at him carefully.

As soon as you see it, you feel a sense of blood fusion, even though the skin of a newborn baby is wrinkled and it is hard to tell whether it is good-looking or not.

But Li Che thought that this baby was the most beautiful child in the world.

Because this is his, Li Che's daughter!

Just when Li Che was filled with joy and stared at the little baby.

The scene in front of the person's eyes suddenly blurred, as if an illusion appeared, as if on a vast and empty land, the earth and rocks broke open, rocks flew through the air, and an emerald green seedling grew vigorously and soared straight up.

In an instant, a towering tree with lush branches and leaves grew!

"this……"

Li Che looked confused.

Then he saw that on the towering tree, countless leaves were trembling, as if reflecting light, and it actually formed a scene of him being outside the earthen house, listening to his daughter's crying at birth.

The picture flashed by, and then it shrank like a vortex at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, it shrank on a corner of the branch and condensed into a crystal clear fruit with seven colors.

…

[A daughter is born, and the bond is bound]

[A beloved daughter is born, and the Taoist tree bears fruit]

[Your daughter is born safely, and you get a Dao fruit]

…

Li Che suddenly came back to his senses and saw his daughter still crying.

"Husband, let me see my daughter..."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

A weak voice came from the pale and pretty young woman lying on the bed. Li Che hurriedly and carefully carried the baby over.

"Wife, look! Our baby!"

Li Che grinned unconsciously, his smile was extremely bright.

Daoguo and the like... He didn't have the heart to think about them for the moment, as his mind was now filled with only his wife and daughter.

His wife Zhang Ya, Li Che's other half, is also the woman who is willing to entrust her life to him in this chaotic world.

"Husband, the baby's nose is really like yours, very straight." Zhang Ya looked weak, but she was also very happy at this moment. She stretched out her slender fingers and touched the baby's small nose.

Li Che looked at his wife tenderly: "Wife, does it hurt?"

Zhang Ya pursed her pale lips, smiled and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt. I'm happy."

"Husband, what's our child's name?"

Zhang Ya asked expectantly, but seemed to have thought of something, her eyes passed Li Che and subconsciously looked at her uncle, the old scholar, who was standing at the door.

Li Che glanced at the old scholar and saw that he was frowning. Contrary to his usual behavior, he did not speak to show off his literary talent or to fight for the right to name his daughter.

Li Che knew what he was thinking.

But he didn't care. He held his wife's cold little hand and said softly, "I have thought about it these days."

"This winter is extremely cold. I just hope our little girl can spend it warmly. Let's call her Li Nuanxi..."

"It is as warm as the fire of the morning sun, which dispels the pain and disease of disasters, and enables people to grow up safely and happily."

Li Che said in a soft voice.

Zhang Ya smiled happily, "Nuanxi, it sounds so nice..."

Xixi in Zhang Ya's arms seemed to have heard her name. She stopped crying and smiled.

However, after a while, he started crying loudly again.

The midwife came over quickly and said, "The baby must be hungry. You need to feed him..."

Upon hearing this, Li Che and the old scholar hurried out of the earthen house.

…

…

In the yard, white snow flakes were falling from the sky.

The chill is rising and it’s winter.

The smile on Li Che's face never disappeared. So this is what it feels like to be a father. He couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility to protect the mother and daughter.

However, the old scholar seemed a little depressed and picked up his pipe again.

Li Che smelled the cigarette and frowned: "Uncle, put it out quickly, the child is here."

The old scholar sighed, put out his pipe, and pursed his lips: "She's just a girl, why doesn't she have a penis? Our Li family..."

Li Che couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Does it matter whether it has a handle or not?"

"The Li family has a throne to inherit?!"

After hearing this, the old scholar's idea of ​​favoring boys over girls was not so easy to dispel, but he stopped talking awkwardly and just kept muttering to himself.

Li Che shook his head but didn't say much.

He picked up the frozen crucian carp and walked to the kitchen, intending to make a bowl of hot crucian carp and tofu soup for his wife.

In between cooking fish soup.

Li Che finally had some free time and planned to study the Dao Fruit that was born with his daughter's birth.
