Once they were fast asleep, Ye Shuang opened her eyes, rubbing her slightly moist eyes. After so many years, she felt the warmth of home again, surprisingly from an ordinary couple.
Ye Shuang secretly made up her mind that since she had saved her, she would definitely protect this family well and make sure they lived a good life.
She channeled the little spiritual energy she had left, closed her eyes, and examined her meridians. Her heart sank; sure enough, her meridians were damaged everywhere. Moreover, due to the demonic possession, she would probably have to maintain her child's form for a long time.
That's fine too. Staying in this small village, she can focus on healing her injuries. Although the spiritual energy around her is a bit weak, it's still enough. As long as she can get through the first year safely and recover her meridians, everything else will be fine.
Thinking this, Ye Shuang fell into a deep sleep, leaving only a sliver of her consciousness alert.
The next day, before dawn, Li Mantian was already awake. He wanted to go to the village chief to write down his daughter's name before she woke up.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up, a little hand grabbed his sleeve, and the baby's voice, just awakened, was full of confusion: "Daddy, where are you going?"
Li Mantian's heart softened. His daughter was the best; she was such a sweet and considerate daughter, unlike that brat who was both stubborn and arrogant. "Sweetie~ you can sleep a little longer. Daddy's going out to take care of some things. I'll bring you some glutinous rice cakes later, okay?"
Ye Shuang obediently withdrew her hand, but said, "Dad, I don't want candy. Come back soon. Didn't Mom say yesterday that there wasn't enough food at home?"
Li Mantian's heart melted at those words. He pinched Ye Shuang's little nose and said, "What do you know, little girl? When did your mother say she wasn't eating enough? Go to sleep!"
Ye Shuang had no choice but to obediently let go. Li Mantian's forehead was no longer dark, which was indeed related to going up the mountain. So all she had to do was stop them from going up the mountain. She closed her eyes again.
Li Mantian, unsuspecting, carefully tucked the mother and daughter into bed before turning to leave.
Before long, just as dawn broke and the sun had not yet risen, Li, who was on the inside, also woke up.
Ye Shuang opened her eyes as well: "Mother~"
Mrs. Li quickly replied, "My dear girl, it's still early, you should sleep a little longer."
Ye Shuang shook her head. Now was the best time to cultivate. "Mother, I can't sleep. I want to stay with you."
What could such a little person do with her? But Li felt warm inside, so she got her up and dressed her in a little cotton-padded jacket. It was the one Li Wenyi wore when he was little. She had altered it yesterday and it was perfect for Ye Shuang to wear.
After the mother and daughter were dressed, Ye Shuang got out of bed, only to find that she was so wrapped up by her mother that she could hardly move. She could only cry out to Li Shi at the door for help, "Mother~ I can't walk!"
Looking at Ye Shuang, who was wrapped up like a round ball, Li was overjoyed and came over to carry her out again.
There was an old rocking chair in the yard, which Li Mantian used in the summer. Li put Ye Shuang on the rocking chair and rocked her for a bit: "My dear girl, sit here and play by yourself. I'll go make breakfast first. You'll be going to the market soon."
"Mmm!" Ye Shuang's sweet little voice was full of confidence that I didn't need to worry. After saying that, she even shook the chair vigorously to show that she could play by herself.
Li was relieved and kissed Ye Shuang on the cheek before hurrying to the kitchen.
