Li Xi frowned, trying to understand the meaning behind the woman's words. "We are one?"
The woman smiled gently and began to stroll slowly, as if recalling a distant past. "It's a very long story, Xiaoxi."
The woman spoke softly, her voice as melodious as flowing water, "And I, in fact, originate from the deepest corner of your heart."
After saying this, her eyes became deep, as if she was lost in deep thought about the past.
A thought flashed through Li Xi's mind. She remembered a conclusion she had reached before, but it had never been confirmed.
So she asked impatiently, "Then what is your purpose in suddenly appearing here?"
The woman stopped, turned around, and looked at Li Xi with a half-smile. "Purpose? Didn't you call me here?"
Li Xi was slightly taken aback, and a sudden, indescribable panic welled up in her heart.
Her eyes widened, her lips slightly parted: "I...I didn't call you."
The woman's lips curled into a faint smile as she slowly extended her delicate hand and gently touched Li Xi's cheek, as if caressing a precious treasure.
Her voice was gentle and deep, like a babbling brook: "Your doubts, your fears, your desires... these are your inner voices, and also my source of strength. I was born because of your needs, and I came because of your call."
Li Xi stood quietly in place, feeling the cool touch from the woman's fingertips, and the panic in her heart grew stronger.
She tried to calm herself down, but her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and she couldn't make a sound. "I didn't..." she began with difficulty, trying to deny it all.
However, the woman seemed to have already seen through her thoughts and easily interrupted her: "Is that so?"
Her eyes were full of smiles, but a closer look would reveal a deeper, unspoken meaning hidden within them.
Then, with a slight upturn of her lips, she said firmly, "Then you'll see why I was born!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she gently waved her arm, and the surrounding scenery immediately changed.
It was still the same dilapidated city, but the scene was quite different from before.
At the bottom of the cliff, a woman wearing soft armor was tightly embracing another woman who had lost all signs of life and was covered in blood. Her face was filled with despair, and she was crying her heart out.
As Li Xi approached, a powerful sense of shock washed over her—the woman in the soft armor was none other than herself! And the woman she was holding in her arms was none other than Lan'er!
The scene before her eyes left Li Xi utterly astonished and bewildered. It felt as if something had pierced her heart, and fragments of memory began to slowly piece together in her mind.
At the same time, the scene before her eyes kept changing as her memories gradually returned...
"Miss Meng, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have already joined the yellow earth in my grave," the person, whose entire body was wrapped in bandages, said weakly as she lay on the bed.
"Don't mention it. Saving lives is a doctor's duty," Meng Zhelan said with a slight smile.
He continued, "Moreover, the fact that you survived this ordeal is a testament to your own resilience. Remember, take good care of yourself in the future and never put yourself in such a dangerous situation again."
The person on the bed nodded gently. Although his face was still pale, there was a newfound determination in his eyes: "Don't worry, Miss Meng. Having survived this ordeal, I am sure to have good fortune in the future. I will cherish this opportunity and hope to have the chance to repay your life-saving grace."
Meng Zhelan waved her hand gently, indicating that she didn't need to worry too much: "There's no need to repay me, just focus on recovering from your injuries."
The scene shifts, and Meng Zhelan is seen excitedly holding a set of clothes in front of Li Xi, saying happily, "Little Xi Xi, come and see what good things I made for you!" As she speaks, she shows the set of clothes to Li Xi.
Li Xi looked at the clothes in front of her with a puzzled expression, but still obediently let Meng Zhelan help her put them on.
After putting on the clothes, Meng Zhelan couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, it really does look better on tall people with long legs!"
Li Xi was completely unfamiliar with this novel outfit and had no idea how to handle it. She could only stand there obediently, letting Meng Zhelan do as she pleased.
After a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Lan'er, why are these clothes so strange? I've never worn clothes like this before."
Meng Zhelan explained proudly, "This is the style that's popular in my hometown! It's much more convenient to wear than the clothes of this era, and it allows for more freedom of movement."
At this moment, Li Xi, who had fully recovered, began to carefully examine her new clothes and exclaimed sincerely, "Indeed, Lan'er, where exactly is your hometown? You have so many ingenious ideas."
The smile on Meng Zhelan's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a faint sadness. She replied, "My hometown is very, very far away from here. At least for now, I can't go back."
Li Xi comforted him, "Don't be sad. After we rescue your father, we can go to your hometown together. We've earned quite a bit of money by hunting and gathering medicinal herbs in the mountains during this time."
Meng Zhelan: "Maybe. Let's not think about it anymore. Let's go see Ling'er. I need to take her with me to Kyoto this time, otherwise she'll be killed by that scumbag and bitch."
In the blink of an eye, the scene shifts to the moment when the three of them are on their way to the capital in a carriage.
Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead; it turned out that a master and servant were being chased.
Li Xi stepped forward without hesitation and successfully rescued the master and servant who were in trouble.
However, Meng Zhelan showed a hint of worry. She stared at the two people and asked anxiously, "Xiao Xixi, won't what we're doing cause us some trouble?"
Just then, the young man beside him hurriedly spoke up to explain, "Please rest assured, we are definitely not bad people. We are extremely grateful for your help this time. Once we enter the city, someone will come to meet us and escort you safely to the capital."
His servants quickly chimed in, "What our prince says is true. Please allow us a ride for a while."
Upon hearing this, Li Xi turned to look at Meng Zhelan, her eyes full of reassurance: "Lan'er, don't worry. There are many causes and effects in the world. If we sow good seeds today, we will surely reap good fruits in the future. Besides, judging from their words and deeds, they are certainly not petty people."
Seeing Li Xi's confidence, Meng Zhelan's worries lessened slightly, but she still couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
She bit her lower lip lightly and nodded, tacitly agreeing to their request.
