Kapitel 12: Chapter 12: Rescue (2)_1
The onlookers, seeing there was no more excitement to watch, also dispersed one by one, leaving only the heart-wrenching sobs echoing.
"Grandfather, your granddaughter is useless, your granddaughter is useless and can't save you..."
Liyan struggled to crawl to her grandfather's side, with tears of despair dropping one by one onto him. The brutal death of her parents had forced her naive self to grow up quickly. Having barely escaped with her grandfather, he was now about to leave her as well.
She didn't want to live alone in this world! If her grandfather couldn't survive, she'd join him in death so they could reunite as a family on the Netherworld Road...
Liyan had resigned herself to death, tightly clutching her grandfather's hand, no longer caring about her surroundings as her desperate eyes grew hollow and lifeless.
This scene caught not only the eyes of the passersby but also the Mo Family who had just arrived at Longshi Town!
...
Rundown Temple on the Outskirts of Longshi Town.
Outside the temple, Mo Yan was attentively tending to the stove, frying medicine. Seeing the medicine pot bubbling, she did not lift the lid; instead, she reduced the firewood and let it simmer on low heat.
"Benefactor Sister, please go and rest. Yanzi will watch over the medicine!"
Liyan, eyes red with emotion, crouched down beside Mo Yan, full of gratitude.
Mo Yan smiled, "Don't call me 'Benefactor Sister;' it feels so awkward. You are the same age as Xin Er, so I'll boldly accept your call of 'Sister Yan'!"
"That's not right, that's not right. For the great kindness and debt you have shown Grandfather and Yanzi, even if Yanzi were to become a servant or a handmaid, it wouldn't be enough to repay you!"
Liyan frantically waved her hands, firmly disagreeing.
If not for the benefactor's family bringing her grandfather here, bustling about to fetch a doctor from the town, she had no idea if she and her grandfather would have survived until tomorrow. On their journey, they met countless people, but only the Mo Family was willing to spend the money and effort to help them.
Mo Yan, somewhat flushed by the little girl's grateful gaze, coughed and said, "It was fate that we met, and my father willingly helped you both. You don't need to be like this."
It was her father who was adamant about helping. She had simply not objected, and she wasn't exactly willing in her heart. For one thing, their own family was also fleeing hardship, so offering help was challenging; for another, with strangers around, she had to be even more careful to avoid exposing the secret of Space.
However, since they had already saved them, she would not stand idly by, especially when helping others could upgrade Space.
The little girl was unaware of her "impure motives," and seeing that Benefactor Sister spoke earnestly, she dared not object further and weakly called out "Sister Yan."
Mo Yan touched her head, feeling somewhat emotional. Despite being the same age as Xin Er, Liyan had suffered so much misfortune in just a few days!
Originally, the Li family lived in a small town in the South, running a small business. They weren't very wealthy, but they were well-off. However, not long ago, bandits had raided their town, killing many. It was Liyan's grandfather's foresight that allowed them to escape early with her parents and themselves, heading straight for Jing City. Unfortunately, they soon encountered robbers on the road, not only being robbed of all their valuables but also losing her parents to murder. It was with great difficulty that the grandfather managed to escape with his granddaughter, only to fall ill soon after.
The double blow of losing his son and suffering from illness, along with the lack of medicine and food, progressively worsened Grandfather Li's condition, ultimately leaving him bedridden, leading to the earlier scene at the entrance of the town.
Liyan was a child of pure heart and filial piety. Mo Yan didn't regret not stopping Mo Qingze from saving them. If she weren't limited by ability, she might have even taken the initiative to help. They were also lucky to find kind-hearted people to go into town and get a compassionate doctor. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had the money to enter the town, let alone hire a doctor or buy medicine.
Fortunately, Grandfather Li's illness wasn't too severe, and he could slowly recover after a few doses of medicine; otherwise, they truly wouldn't have known what to do. At this time, Mo Yan didn't know the surprise that the Li family's grandfather and grandchild, whom she had casually saved that day, would bring to her when she created her business empire in the future...
Kapitel 13: Chapter 13 Selling Vegetables (1)_1
```
That very night, a heavy rain began to pour down incessantly, which lasted three days and four nights.
Under the careful attention of everyone, Grandfather Li's condition greatly improved. After a few days, he was already able to stand up and walk around slowly. He was a grateful man who knew his life had been saved by the Mo Family. Although he didn't say too much to express his gratitude, he firmly remembered their kindness in his heart.
Originally, Mo Yan and the others had planned to continue their journey after the rain, but meeting Liyan and her grandfather, who were also on their way to Jing City, they had to change their plan. They decided to wait until Grandfather Li fully recovered before setting off, so both families could look out for each other on the road.
Today, the sun shone brightly, heralding another fine day!
Aside from Liyan, who had to take care of her grandfather, the rest of them were not idle either. Early in the morning, Mo Qingze went out to inquire about a shortcut to Jing City, Xin Er and Zhenzhen got up early to collect firewood, and Mo Yan, under the pretext of looking for food, arrived at a deserted place and slipped into the Space.
The dense Spiritual Energy hit her face, and the aroma of vegetables filled her nostrils, her eyes met with the golden hues of rice and corn. Every time she saw the thriving scene inside the Space, it would fill Mo Yan with joy.
For the past half a month, she had planted three batches of cabbages, with the newly grown ones already being consumed. The tomatoes had been rotated twice. This time period did have tomatoes, and when she first brought them out, they didn't attract much attention. The radishes were not bad either. They tasted better than cabbages when boiled.
Thanks to the vegetables from the Space, their family never went hungry again. Compared to their condition when they had first arrived, not only did they not become thinner from traveling, they had even gained a little weight, and their complexions had also improved.
However, eating boiled vegetables without salt or oil nearly made Mo Yan vomit. Finally, coming across a small town, she planned to sell the vegetables and grains from the Space in exchange for oil and salt, as consuming neither for an extended period was not good for one's health.
As for her always being able to find food, it might fool the younger ones, but certainly not the adults. When she first produced a cabbage, Mo Qingze became suspicious. Later, when she brought out tomatoes, radishes, and even corn, he wasn't too surprised. Yet since he never asked about it, Mo Yan also didn't take the initiative to talk about it. Thus, father and daughter tacitly kept this secret to themselves.
Mo Yan gathered a good amount of cabbages, tomatoes, and corn. Since there were no radishes this season, she didn't bother picking them. As for the rice that was ripe for harvest, without tools for threshing and husking, she couldn't take it out to exchange for money, nor could she allow her family to enjoy rice meals.
After placing the cabbages, tomatoes, and corn into an old basket she had found, Mo Yan carried it out of the Space and hurried toward Longshi Town.
Meeting some peasant women from nearby villages heading to the market on the road, Mo Yan subtly blended in with them and struck up a conversation with a kind-looking old lady in her fifties who was carrying pears. Blessed with good looks and a sweet mouth, although the women found her unfamiliar, they didn't make much fuss. The group quickly hit it off and chattered away as they approached the gates of Longshi Town.
The Government Officials manning the gate today were the same ones who had troubled Liyan and her grandfather a few days earlier. They charged a Crossing Fee of Ten Wen Money from each out-of-town person who didn't have Longshi Town's Road Sign while letting the locals through without charge.
On seeing this, Mo Yan's palms began to sweat. She reached into the basket, pretending to search for the road sign, but of course found nothing. She feigned panic, her voice quivering with a cry, "What should I do, what should I do? I've lost my road sign, my father will beat me to death when I get back!"
The old lady in front of her heard the commotion, turned around with concern, and said, "Child, don't panic. Look for it carefully again."
Mo Yan nodded earnestly and resumed her search in the old basket, naturally finding nothing. To add realism to her act, she even managed to squeeze out two tears, looking utterly pitiable.
