Chapter 87 Suffered a Big Loss
Is it pretty?
Lin Anyuan smiled slightly, but his ears couldn't help but feel hot.
How could she be so shameless, staring at him like that...
"What's so interesting? It's scary!" Ye Wan pretended to be confused when she knew the truth, but inside she was screaming like a chicken.
Lin Anyuan, that shameless bastard, even though he's injured like this, he still has the mind to be sarcastic.
"You'd better think of something quickly. Should I go down the mountain and call someone to carry you down?" Ye Wan quickly changed the subject.
It seems like this is the only way to do it now.
"No need, the cave I was in last time was just a short distance away, so I helped myself there." Lin Anyuan struggled to sit up, surprisingly not in much pain.
He absolutely cannot go down the mountain in his current state; it would bring trouble to his family and the village.
Seeing this, Ye Wan stepped forward and became a human walking stick.
Lin Anyuan's tattered pants had most of his body hanging on her. When the wind blew, he felt chilly all over and was very uncomfortable, yet he didn't seem to be cold.
Fortunately, the cave wasn't far away. Ye Wan used all her strength to help the person onto the dry grass inside the cave, panting heavily from exhaustion.
"Will this work? What if wild animals get into the cave? You'll be finished!"
Ye Wan pointed to the cave entrance. There was nothing covering it. Was she sure it was safe?
"You're right. What if I die? I won't be able to have children with you."
Lin Anyuan lay on the hay, feeling the prickling sensation, and looked at Ye Wan with a smile in his eyes.
Ye Wan was speechless. "Who wants to have a child with you? You're dreaming."
"Who was it last night who begged me not to die, saying it would be a waste not to have more children? You and I can have them together."
"Stay here!" Ye Wan glared at him.
Watching her run away, Lin Anyuan chuckled softly.
He laughed for a moment, took a breath, and sat up.
His eyes darkened as he looked at the haphazardly bandaged wound.
He was lucky; he survived.
Those who want him dead are likely to be disappointed again.
...
...
Ye Wan descended the mountain as quickly as possible, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard Sanya crying.
Why is Sanya crying?
Upon hearing Ye Wan's voice, San Ya, who was sitting on the threshold, immediately stopped crying and ran over.
"Mother, are you hurt? Why are you covered in blood?" Daya asked in a panic.
Ye Wan looked down and realized that there was a lot of blood on her clothes, all of which was Lin Anyuan's blood.
He made up a story on the spot: "No, I saw an injured big bird fall into our yard this morning. I picked it up and picked it up, but it ran away. I chased it for a long time, but I couldn't catch it."
Er Ya also came out. "Things that fly in the sky must be hard to catch, Mother. You should change your clothes quickly, they look a bit scary."
“When Sanya woke up early in the morning and no one was home, she started crying and we couldn’t soothe her no matter what we did.”
"Sanya, be good, Mommy will go change my clothes first." Ye Wan patted Sanya's head, and Sanya stopped crying.
Ye Wan changed her clothes, quickly cooked fish soup, put it into an earthenware pot, and also got Lin Anyuan a change of clothes to prepare for going up the mountain.
"Mother, where are you going?" Er Ya asked.
"Your dad is very busy. I'm going to bring him food and clothes. You three stay home and behave yourselves. Eat your own breakfast and don't run around. Don't open the door if anyone you don't know comes in, understand?"
Da Ya nodded, "Mother, don't worry, I'll take care of my two younger sisters."
She was just a little curious: the family hadn't bought any fish, so why did her mother make fish soup?
Ye Wan didn't notice Da Ya's unusual behavior. After thinking for a moment, she brought along the medicine that the man surnamed Chu had given her last time.
Not long after she left, Hongmei from the same village arrived.
"Er Ya, is your stepmother not here?" Hong Mei called softly from the courtyard gate.
Er Ya opened the door. "What stepmother? You're being rude. That's my mother."
"Look at my new hair accessory. My mom said she'll buy you the pearl one when she has money. It's so pretty."
She was bored at home and wanted to go and show off to her girlfriends, but unexpectedly, Hongmei came to find her.
Hongmei thought to herself, "Don't you hate your formidable stepmother?" and couldn't help but cast an envious glance at her.
"You look so beautiful, Er Ya, you're so fair now. I heard the Liu family is looking to hire maids. Do you want to go? With your looks, you're sure to be chosen. I heard that if you become Young Master Liu's head maid, you can earn three taels of silver a month!"
Even if an ordinary family scrimped and saved, they couldn't save more than three taels of silver a year. What does that mean?
"Are you going?" Er Ya asked Hong Mei.
She had met Young Master Liu before, and he even gave her mother a hundred taels of silver. She hadn't heard Young Master Liu ask for a maid to serve him.
"Hmm, if I'm chosen, I might even catch the eye of Young Master Liu and become his concubine. I'll never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of my life. I've heard that Young Master Liu is handsome and was the top scholar in our Min County!"
Hongmei's eyes were full of longing. The old woman said that once she entered the Liu family, she would enjoy endless wealth and luxury.
The old woman who was buying people said she wanted someone good-looking. She was alright, but she was a bit dark-skinned. Er Ya was fair-skinned now, so she should be chosen. She suggested that Er Ya plead with her to be taken along as well.
"You go if you want, I don't want to be a servant!" Er Ya said, raising her pinky finger.
Once she learns to make pastries and has money, she wants to be a lady of leisure, the kind who travels by carriage, and doesn't want to serve others.
"Er Ya, you're really not going? If you're not going, will your older sister go?" Hong Mei asked, somewhat disappointed.
“No, I’m not going. My mother said she’s raised us all her life, so I don’t want to serve others.” Er Ya said smugly.
Hongmei left somewhat dejectedly.
The old woman said she wanted someone good-looking, and if she could recommend someone, she would give her half a tael of silver and a box of hair ornaments.
Of all the girls in the village, Da Ya and Er Ya were the prettiest. Since they weren't going, she had to return the half tael of silver she had collected to that old woman.
That box of hair accessories is really pretty; they're all styles she's never seen before.
Ye Wan was unaware of all this; she had already reached the mountain before it got hot.
Luckily, I have good stamina, otherwise running back and forth like this would have exhausted me.
Once inside the cave, the dry grass where Lin Anyuan had been lying was empty.
"Lin Anyuan?"
Ye Wan called out, but no one answered, so she quickly put the earthenware pot on the ground.
Oh no, did she jinx it? Did she really get dragged away by a wild animal?
There seemed to be a faint sound inside. Ye Wan picked up a stick and went inside.
I'm not afraid, and if things don't look good, I can hide in my spatial dimension.
Then, around the corner, they saw Lin Anyuan, who was...
Ye Wan blushed instantly and turned around, "You... Lin Anyuan, have you no shame? Why didn't you say anything when you were relieving yourself!"
"You woman, are you even being reasonable? You came over without saying a word and saw me naked, and you're still angry? I've been taken advantage of!"
Lin Anyuan quickly pulled up his tattered pants, his ears turning red.
Normally, he would never have been seen, but this time his injury was too severe. He moved slowly, and it was a miracle that he could even stand up to relieve himself.
Ye Wan turned around and gritted her teeth, "Who really got the short end of the stick? I'm even afraid of getting a sty!"
