Chapter 878: Chapter 1: Li Yuzhu & Mu Yuanxiu Side Story (1) He Has Been Reborn!

Just like in the previous life, he didn’t want to buy.

She was a priceless treasure, not a commodity with a price tag; how could she be bought and sold?

She was not a property of the Xue Family; what right did they have to sell her?

He gave the Xue Family a cold glance, strode outside, "Li Yuzhu, your sister-in-law wants to sell you to me! Forty-eight taels!"

Just like before, the words of the Xue Family made the Li Family collectively furious.

He remembered that in the previous life, Li Yuzhu just looked at him with wide eyes, not uttering a word. But in this life, Li Yuzhu fiercely scolded the Xue Family.

He gently lifted the corners of his lips, very good, he liked this kind of Li Yuzhu.

She was supposed to be like this to survive in such a harsh environment.

.

The Li Family felt humiliated and didn’t stay long in front of his wooden house before heading back down the mountain together.

In the previous life, they groped their way to a cave on the other side of the mountain. The Li Family, who weren’t used to labor, gradually fell ill from hunger.

Despite this, Li Yuzhu gave him half a hard bun. At the time she said, her family had plenty to eat; the bun was made by her mother. And he, being alone, could join their family if he wanted something to eat.

In fact, around the Li Family, there frequently appeared some unknown assassins; her family had no extra food at all.

The Beiyang people sent men to find him, also coming here to secretly assassinate him.

He and the Li Family lived every day in hunger and under pursuit.

He followed the old guard, learning some archery and boxing, just enough to defend himself.

But the Li Family womenfolk couldn’t escape the assassination.

The first incident happened to Li Yuzhu.

She was timid, the thinnest, and the slowest runner, she got caught by the assassins.

The Li Family’s spoiled and capricious eldest daughter, Li Yuwen, who grabbed food from others every day, at that moment risked her life to protect Li Yuzhu, boldly snatching her from the assassins, which surprised him greatly.

He and the Li Family rescued Li Yuzhu, but she hadn’t eaten well; Li Yuzhu was weak, illness coupled with hunger and fright, she didn’t make it.

He looked towards the camellia tree outside the courtyard.

It was said that unmarried girls who were buried in the wild would be very unlucky in their next life. When the Li Family didn’t know how to handle Li Yuzhu’s burial, he requested to bury her as if she were his wife.

The Li Family was shocked, but after a night of discussion, they agreed.

He buried Li Yuzhu under that camellia tree.

But in this life, this camellia tree will not be her resting place.

-

The only bowl of food in the house was given to the two children.

He was hungry, and the Li Family were also starving.

He picked up a stick and walked into the dense bushes on the mountain.

Today he was lucky, finding a nest of wild rabbits. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

In the previous life, he was found by the Beiyang people, coaxed and taken to Beiyang; soon after, he encountered a hermit who taught him the Beast Taming Skill.

But he didn’t know if, upon his rebirth, this Beast Taming Skill had come along.

He picked a slightly larger camellia leaf from the tree and gently blew the Beast Taming Mysterious Sound.

To his relief, his Beast Taming Mysterious Sound came along with him.

That nest of rabbits obediently burrowed into his basket.

"Very good, today’s food is all thanks to you," he said, heading towards his wooden house with the wild rabbits.

He settled the rabbits in the small shed behind the house, took one out and followed after the Li Family.

Halfway down he spotted the straggling Li Yuzhu and Li Xing’an.

He slightly hooked up the corners of his lips and released the rabbit.

Freed, the rabbit sprinted away.

Standing from a distance, he softly played the leaf flute; the rabbit followed his guidance, running forward, crashing into a tree.

Finally, it was picked up by Li Yuzhu.

The siblings cheerfully walked down the mountain.

But they didn’t immediately go to find their family; instead, they saved the village chief’s father.

To his great surprise, Li Yuzhu actually knew medicine!

In the previous life, she clearly knew nothing; she was just a muddle-headed little girl!

He hid in the shadows, quietly observing Li Yuzhu, discovering that her movements in bandaging Old Qin were very skilled.

It was evident that her medical skills weren’t developed overnight.

What was happening?

Mu Yuanxiu’s heart grew increasingly puzzled.

Out of curiosity, he continued to secretly follow the Li Family.

In this life, Li Yuzhu had clearly become the backbone of the Li Family.

She led them under the pretext of escorting Old Qin to stay at Old Qin’s house, gaining the Qin Family’s support.

The next day, Qin Lizheng brought the Li Family to the cave.

.

Later, he helped the Li Family’s siblings hunt a leopard.

He thought this family would just sit and eat until there was nothing left; unexpectedly, it was Li Yuzhu who took the initiative, leading the family to act.

They took the leopard to the village to exchange it for living supplies, gathering herbs for silver coins, and picking wild vegetables to eat.
