Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 220 Mother, I Miss You So Much
Shen Lanze looked at Ye Jinran: "Do you know that woman?"

"I... I'm just curious!" Ye Jinran lowered her eyes to avoid revealing her guilty conscience.

Shen Lanze narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, that woman is beyond the reach of others, like a fairy, she dares not be approached by others."

Ye Jinran's eyes were instantly rosy, and she muttered to herself, "So she's been in Qingshi Village all along!"

Seeing this, Shen Lanze couldn't help being puzzled, and he tentatively asked, "Who is she?"

Ye Jinran raised his hand to wipe away his tears, smiled and shook his head, "No, no one!"

Shen Lanze looked at Lu Nanzhi aside, she also showed surprise, but soon regained her composure.

The eyes of the two stayed on Ye Jinran, feeling a little strange.

Ye Jinran hastily got up and said goodbye, her frantic footsteps made it hard not to be suspicious.

"She must know something." Shen Lanze said with absolute certainty.

Lu Nanzhi rubbed his chin, Ye Jinran was a little bit wrong today, but how could she have anything to do with Qingshi Village?

"Is Qingshi Village a village? How mysterious is it?"

When Shen Lanze heard about it, he remembered the book in his arms and took it out to read it carefully. Lu Nanzhi leaned over and found that many of the writing on it had been blurred.

There are many things recorded in this book, among which Qingshi Village is mentioned. It is said that the people in this village were driven into caves because of a plague. In order to survive, they dug countless caves and finally found the exit.

It's a pity that even if they find an exit, it's useless. Many people have already been infected with the plague, and these people have no rations. It's impossible to survive.

At this time, a beautiful woman came out of the village with a medicine basket on her back. She settled the villagers in the village and cured their plague. They are self-reliant.

Her only request is that no one is allowed to leave here, let alone tell anyone about this place.

Seeing this, Lu Nanzhi had a bold idea, could this woman be that fairy girl?
"What are you thinking?" Seeing her silence, Shen Lanze reached out to caress her cheek.

"Could this woman be that fairy girl? Because she saved the lives of the whole village, the villagers worship her as a god."

Shen Lanze nodded in agreement. The handwriting on the back of the book was blurred, and the names of a few herbs could be vaguely seen. He also mentioned that there are many spiritual herbs in this place, and the rest of the handwriting has been blurred.

"The question now is why all the villagers disappeared, and what is the relationship between this child and Qingshi Village? Why did the so-called fairy girl die? How did Prime Minister Luo save the villagers of Qingshi Village?"

Shen Lanze rubbed his tired forehead, all this was too confusing.

Lu Nanzhi held his arm and comforted him, "Don't worry, maybe when the child inside wakes up, everything will be revealed."

"Let go of me, let me go!" A sudden exclamation came from the room.

Lu Nanzhi and Shen Lanze hurried into the room, and were relieved to see the sweaty, kicking people there.

Lu Nanzhi came to the bed and took out an embroidered handkerchief from his arms to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

"Don't be afraid, no one will hurt you."

Perhaps her voice was too gentle, the struggling boy gradually calmed down and slowly opened his eyes.

When he saw Lu Nanzhi, his immature voice called out: "Mother, mother, is it really you?"

Lu Nanzhi was startled, she didn't know how to respond to this address.

When the little boy saw the person behind her, he trembled with fright. He held Lu Nanzhi's hand tightly, and his body kept shaking.

"Mother..."

Lu Nanzhi hugged him distressedly and comforted him, "Hey, don't be afraid, it's okay."

However, the little guy in his arms couldn't relax at all, and still curled up into a ball.

Lu Nanzhi noticed something, turned his head to look at Shen Lanze behind him, and then looked at the child in his arms.

The little boy's eyes were flushed and his face was as pale as paper.Like a huge fright.

She frowned even deeper, and couldn't help asking: "What's going on?"

Shen Lanze pursed his lips and remained silent, his gaze fell on the shivering boy with a complex expression.

"Maybe it has something to do with his long-term abuse." Shen Lanze walked slowly to the bed, and was about to reach out to touch the little boy.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me!" The little boy suddenly screamed in fright, and fainted again in fright.

Ye Jinran hadn't had a good rest yet, and was dragged back to the room again. Seeing the child who had fainted again, she scratched her head angrily and said, "What's the matter? How could Haoduanduan faint again?"

"Are you pushing too hard? He is still a child who has been abused for a long time. He has just woken up. Don't scare him!"

"He's emotionally unstable now, even if you ask him anything, he won't say anything."

Ye Jinran had a distressed look on her face, seeing this child was like seeing herself back then, which made her heart ache.

"It's my Taiji cut." Shen Lanze's tone was a little heavy, with a bit of self-blame.

Lu Nanzhi held his wrist and comforted him: "This matter has nothing to do with you, it's all evil deeds done by those bad guys."

Ye Jinran took out a medicine bottle and put it under the child's nose for him to sniff. The fainted little boy slowly opened his eyes again.

Seeing those pitch-black eyes, Ye Jinran took a step back in fright, and dropped the porcelain bottle in her hand to the ground.

How could the murderous intent in the child's eyes be so strong? When she looked again, she saw that the little boy's eyes were full of fear.

"Did I read it wrong?" Ye Jinran murmured in confusion.

Lu Nanzhi didn't hear what she said, but was startled by her actions, and asked in puzzlement, "Are you all right? Are you too tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

Shen Lanze picked up the porcelain bottle on the ground and handed it to her, "What's wrong? Is there something..."

"Mother, let's run, run..."

Before Shen Lanze finished speaking, the little boy yelled in horror.

Lu Nanzhi held the child tightly in his arms, and gently stroked his back, "Don't be afraid, no one will hurt you anymore, be good, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

The child calmed down in his gentle voice, and looked up at her, "Mother, I miss you so much, I miss you so much."

Looking at his fiery gaze, Lu Nanzhi pursed his lips and replied, "Mother misses you too."

Lu Nanzhi couldn't bear to break the only fantasy in the little boy's heart, so he replied.

Ye Jinran signaled Shen Lanze to go out with her with his eyes, and the little boy saw the background of the two leaving, with a murderous look in his eyes.

Feeling a cold breath, Lu Nanzhi pulled the quilt over to surround the little boy.

Feeling the warmth from his body, the little boy had tears in his eyes, and threw himself into this warm embrace tightly. This long-lost warmth made him not want to let go.

"Mother, mother."

The immature call made Lu Nanzhi feel distressed, and his eyes were slightly red, and he replied: "Mother is here, mother is here, as long as there is mother, no one will hurt you."
