While he hunted and roasted his prey, she sat far away watching him, clutching her stomach in hunger without asking him for any.
He couldn't bear it and threw half of it to her.
Later, he would share his food with her every time he ate.
Until he fell ill and collapsed, he thought he was going to die, and she was so frightened that she left.
When he woke up, he saw her happy smile.
The two then began to recount their past experiences.
He learned her name was Li Xiaotao, which was a very nice name.
Knowing that her parents were dead and that she had come to Stone Town to stay with relatives, but her relatives looked down on her, she ran into those scoundrels just as she was about to leave.
Seeing that Han Qingyuan was somewhat intimidating in appearance but kind-hearted, she decided to rely on him for her future safety.
After all, he seemed completely uninterested in me.
Li Xiaotao also learned that Han Qingyuan was actually a soldier in the past. Although his left arm was broken, he had saved many people.
The reason he is like this now is because of his severed hand.
After they opened up to each other, their relationship suddenly became much closer.
And that's how they developed feelings for each other.
Although Han Qingyuan had feelings for her, he dared not express them. He was a cripple; how could he be worthy of her? She was so beautiful, kind, and gentle; she deserved the best.
But things changed after Li Xiaotao fell in love. She directly expressed her feelings to him, and even if he rejected her, she continued to follow him and comfort him.
In the end, he was won over by her kindness and radiance. The two bowed to the moon and returned to the place where they first met, where they settled down.
He hunted, she wove clothes; they lived an ordinary life.
Even now, when Han Qingyuan thinks back to those days, he can't help but smile.
Until the natural disaster struck, although Ganzhou was not affected, food prices outside the region rose and game became scarce in the mountains.
They were already living a hard life, and this made their lives even more difficult.
After Li Xiaotao became pregnant, he gave most of the food to her, preferring to go hungry himself rather than let her suffer.
After becoming pregnant, Li Xiaotao radiated a maternal glow, and she looked beautiful, gentle, and very attractive.
When Li Xiaotao went to town to sell her game, she caught the eye of the local bully, Yang.
This led to the later incident where the tyrant Yang forcibly took his wife. In order to save her, he went to the Yang family in Ganzhou for help, but he was so weak from hunger that he was almost beaten to death by the Yang family's servants.
Fortunately, he met his older brother Tang Jian, who helped him rescue his wife from the bully Yang.
From then on, the couple's life went smoothly.
Who knew they would run into the Yang family again, leading to this calamity...
"Knock knock"
The knocking interrupted Han Qingyuan's reverie.
“Brother, it’s us. We’ve come to see Xiao Tao.” It was Lin Zao.
"Brother, sister-in-law, please come in."
Lin Zao and Tang Jian walked in together, with Lin Zao carrying a bowl of medicine.
"The medicine that Miss Hua prescribed before she left has already been brewed. Let's give it to your sister-in-law."
This medicine is mainly used to replenish qi and blood, and is a nourishing medicine.
To prevent Li Xiaotao from developing a fever at night due to her wound.
Lin Zao also secretly dissolved the medicine she brought from the modern world into the bowl. She specifically found several suitable medicines according to Li Xiaotao's symptoms.
Of course, this was something she and Tang Jian had discussed together, and they did it to avoid being exposed.
Han Qingyuan gratefully accepted the medicine and slowly fed it to Li Xiaotao.
Seeing that Li Xiaotao seemed to be doing well, Lin Zao was relieved.
It was already late at night, and the couple didn't want to disturb Han Qingyuan any longer, so they went back to their guest room to rest.
The next morning.
Li Xiaotao seemed to regain a vague sense of awareness, but then she couldn't remember what had happened. What was wrong with her?
