I'll Marry You Again in My Next Life!
With too little information, Ye Jing could not draw a conclusion.
As for the steamed bun offered by the boy, he naturally wouldn't accept it.
He observed that day and realized that the village was not wealthy; in fact, it could be described as poor!
Many families only eat one meal a day!
This steamed bun could very well be the boy's meal for the day!
However, Ye Jing still accepted the steamed bun, because he was now a beggar, and if he didn't accept the bun, it would arouse suspicion!
Ye Jing stretched out his dirty hand. He could clearly feel the struggle in the boy's eyes, but in the end, the boy generously let go and gave the steamed bun to Ye Jing.
Ye Jing didn't rush to put it in his mouth!
Instead, she carefully placed the steamed bun in her bosom, then hugged her arms and assumed a sleeping position!
He meant he wanted a place to sleep!
"No, a steamed bun is enough for him. He actually wants a place to sleep? Are you kidding me?"
"That's right, Shi Tuo, ignore him, come back, the village chief's task isn't finished yet!"
"Please don't do this. He's already suffering enough as a beggar. I know a place where he can sleep, but there's no bed."
The girl said something to the two boys, then looked at Ye Jing with her eyes crinkling.
"Ling'er, you are so kind, I like you so much. When I am chosen by the envoy, I will come back to marry you!" Shi Tuo's eyes were practically glued to the girl called Ling'er!
"Shut up, Shi Tuo! You're talking nonsense! Ling'er is mine!"
"You're talking nonsense! Ling'er is mine, that's why I was chosen by the envoy!"
The other two boys were also anxious, not expecting Shi Tuo to beat them to it!
"Alright, you three childish fools, I'm not marrying any of you. Hurry up and take him to rest, we're going to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables!" The girl rolled her eyes at the three of them, then walked up to Ye Jing, her eyes gentle, without any hint of disdain.
"Hello, please follow me. Because there are limited houses in the village, there are no extra houses available, so you will have to sleep in the collapsed house. Please understand!"
The girl's voice was soft, and although she wore coarse linen clothes, her smile was as gentle as a spring breeze!
Ye Jing now understood why these three boys all liked girls!
If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to handle it either!
"Ah... uh... eh..."
He shook his head, making incoherent noises, to indicate that he was alright!
Then.
Ye Jing followed the four people along a small path, bypassing the village, and arrived at the back of the village.
There's a house here that's half collapsed; it's no longer habitable!
But for a homeless person like Ye Jing, it's luxurious enough!
"Alright, you can rest here. We're going to go up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables!" the girl said with a smile.
"Ah... uh... eh..."
Ye Jing nodded, making babbling sounds.
The boy and girl turned and left!
Ye Jing watched the backs of these young girls and boys. The people in this world are normal; they have basic moral principles!
He leaned on his cane; from here, he could see the entire village!
Ye Jing casually found a place to sit down.
They took out all the Spirit Artifact that could be used to contact Qiuyue, but none of them responded!
He sighed. He still needed to figure out the situation here first!
Furthermore, he cannot use Spiritual Qi; he can't even set up formations!
How can I leave here?
Ye Jing sat on the ground and began to think.
On the other side.
Three boys and one girl were walking in the mountains and forests.
Upon seeing any edible wild vegetables, they immediately bent down and dug them up.
But they've already dug almost the entire mountain out!
There is still a significant gap between what they need to accomplish today and the amount of work required.
"Ling'er, we need to dig deeper. You're a girl, you should go back first!" Shi Tuo was worried about the dangers deep in the forest!
"No, I want to be with you. More people means more strength, and besides, I can do it too!" The girl stubbornly shook her head, indicating that she wanted to be with the three of them.
"But..." Shi Tuo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the other two.
"Shi Tuo, stop dawdling! Let's hurry up and finish digging so we can get back sooner!"
"Yes, and with us protecting Ling'er, what's there to be afraid of?"
Helpless, Shi Tuo could only concentrate even more; he couldn't let Ling'er get hurt in the slightest!
Then.
The four of them then began to walk into the deep mountains.
They ventured deeper and deeper, discovering an abundance of wild vegetables. The four men's eyes lit up; their mission was now complete!
The group happily started digging!
"Ah!"
Sudden.
Shi Tuo felt a chill in his calves.
He looked down and was nearly scared out of his wits!
He dared not move a muscle. A venomous snake was tightly coiled around his calf and crawling toward the boy's thigh.
"Watch out, there's a poisonous snake!"
The other three people's expressions changed drastically upon seeing this!
"Quick, quick, help me get rid of the snake!"
Shi Tuo was pale, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his voice was trembling.
"I... I dare not. What if I get bitten by a poisonous snake?" Another boy shook his head in fear.
"I wouldn't dare!"
The other two shook their heads repeatedly, afraid of being bitten by a poisonous snake.
"You..."
Shi Tuo's face was deathly pale, but he knew his situation was critical, and it was normal for the other party not to dare to act!
"Ling'er, hurry up and go! I'll hold off the poisonous snake for you. Remember, I'll always be the one who loves you the most!"
The girl couldn't help but roll her eyes at Shi Tuo!
"Give me the dagger!" The girl snatched the dagger from the boy beside her, then cautiously walked towards Shi Tuo, dagger in hand, and swung it at the poisonous snake!
But it was too late; the venomous snake bit Shi Tuo's thigh!
"Ah!"
Shi Tuo screamed violently. After the venomous snake finished biting him, it released Shi Tuo and tried to run away, but was slashed by the girl's knife.
He was slashed and sent flying to the ground, then scrambled away as if fleeing!
"Shi Tuo, are you alright?" The girl rushed to Shi Tuo's side and asked anxiously, looking at the black teeth marks on his thigh.
"I... I'm alright, Ling'er, be careful!" Shi Tuo's face was pale, but seeing that the girl was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Ling'er, if there is a next life, I will still want to marry you!"
"Get lost! Saying things like that now? Don't you want to die sooner?" The girl took a deep breath. "You two, stop watching and get him up so we can take him back to the village for treatment!"
"Oh, here it comes!"
The two boys snapped out of their daze and came over to help Shi Tuo up.
The four of them then hurried towards the village.
But Shi Tuo's complexion grew increasingly worse!
"Ling'er, thank you so much! I never expected you to come and save me. Luckily, the snake didn't bite you, or I would never forgive myself!"
"Ling'er, you said I would protect you, but it turns out I'm the one who needs protection!"
"Ling'er, I'm sorry, I might not be chosen by the envoy. I can't let you eat meat every day anymore!"
Shi Tuo's voice grew fainter and fainter, and his eyelids drooped heavily.
"It's okay, I believe in you, you can get through this. We've reached the abandoned house, we'll be back in the village soon!" the girl comforted her, her eyes red with tears.
"It's no use, Ling'er. I've seen that snake before. My uncle was bitten by one of those snakes, and it's incurable!" A boy said gravely.
"No, no..." The girl didn't finish her sentence!
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a Dark Shadow appeared in front of them and knocked them all to the ground!
