In fact, Li Xiaoran had really guessed correctly.

On the surface, the bailiffs left, but after arriving at White Foothill City, they told the head of the government office, who felt that something was wrong, so he rushed back overnight with his men.

At this moment, Luo Cheng and the others had already found a very hidden cave not far from the pool.

The four of them had a fire lit now and were enjoying themselves while roasting fish.

“Brother Luo Cheng, your fish roasting skills are simply superb! I’ll learn more from you in the future! With my unlucky physique, I might be stranded in the wilderness one day. As long as I learn this skill, I won’t have to be afraid of starving to death!” Wu Qinghe said enviously as he ate the fish.

Speaking of this, Luo Cheng was also interested.

“Is there really no way to dispel your bad luck? Why are you no ,onger unlucky if you follow me? I’ve been unlucky ever since I met you, so did you implicate

“No, no!” Hearing Luo Cheng’s words, Wu Qinghe quickly waved his hand and said, “My mentor said that although my bad luck is innate, it’s not unsolvable. Only when some special people are with me will this bad luck become support and help that’s beneficial to you! If I leave you, I’ll become a jinx again!” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood.

“You mean that you’re good for my husband. If you’re with him, you can change from a bad luck physique to a good one. If you don’t follow my husband, my husband won’t lose anything, but you’ll be unlucky.”

“Yes, that’s what I mean!” Wu Qinghe nodded and said.

“But I didn’t see you bring us any help or luck along the way.” Shu Ruyue pouted as she muttered.

“How so? Didn’t I bring everyone to a safe place by divination?” Wu Qinghe said righteously.

“That’s it? Xiaoran even reminded us by saying that that room gave her a bad vibe. Later on, after dealing with those a.s.sa.s.sins, it was Xiaoran who brought us to the woodshed!” Shu Ruyue retorted righteously.

This time, Wu Qinghe was speechless.

After muttering for a while, Wu Qinghe straightened his back and said, “No matter what, I’m very useful. It’s just that I haven’t played my role yet!”

As Li Xiaoran watched the two of them bicker, she leaned towards Luo Cheng and snickered as she said, “Look at these two people. Don’t they look like a couple?”

Luo Cheng looked at Wu Qinghe, then at Shu Ruyue, and finally nodded.

“It’s true!”

Just like that, the two of them watched with relish as they snuggled up to each other.

After the commotion, the cave finally fell silent. There was only the sound of sparks as the firewood burned.

“I wonder what’s going on with the woman now!” Li Xiaoran suddenly said.

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “She’s still unconscious, but she should wake up tomorrow morning! I wonder what will happen in her family

after she wakes up!”

“What do you think caused a son to harm his biological mother?” Li Xiaoran still couldn’t understand.

“There’s a reason. Perhaps when she wakes up tomorrow morning, the truth will be revealed!” Luo Cheng replied.

Li Xiaoran nodded, but didn’t say anything else.

That night, the stars were shining brightly.

The four people in the cave gradually fell asleep.

At the old man’s house at the foot of the mountain, the old man was sleeping with his wife.

That night was the most peaceful sleep he had had in many years.

When he woke up tomorrow, he might be able to see his wife wake up. How antic.i.p.atory!

However, Jiang Bao, who was in the other room, was tossing and turning. For some reason, he felt that the four people he had seen previously would give him trouble.

The night felt long yet short.

The next morning, when the birds chirped, the forest seemed serene.

As Li Xiaoran stood at the entrance of the cave, she looked out anxiously.

Li Xiaoran had woken up early in the morning.

At this moment, she had already sensed a sense of joy from the old man at the foot of the mountain.

This meant that the woman must have woken up.

After Li Xiaoran told Luo Cheng what she had sensed, Luo Cheng thought for a moment, then planned to go back and take a look while everyone was sleeping.

After all, he was the one who had saved her, so he had to check on her recovery and confirm that she had really woken up and was fine before he could leave in peace.

At this moment, two hours had pa.s.sed since Luo Cheng left the mountain. Li Xiaoran went from being indifferent at the beginning to being nervous now. She stood at the entrance of the cave uneasily.

Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue saw that Li Xiaoran was very worried, so they took the initiative to come over and talk to her.

“Xiaoran, don’t worry. Your husband is very skilled in martial arts. If he wants to leave, few people can keep him!”

“That’s right! Brother Luo Cheng is very capable. If you’re really worried, I’ll read his fortune!” Wu Qinghe said as he took out a few copper coins.

Soon, the divination came out.

“He’s fine. He just got tripped up by something, but he’s not in danger!” Wu Qinghe said.

With Wu Qinghe’s words, Li Xiaoran was slightly relieved.

In fact, Luo Cheng was really stumped by something.

The woman had indeed woken up and was recovering very well. Other than being a little weak, her overall condition was good.

She only needed to recuperate well.

Just as Luo Cheng was about to leave, Jiang Bao suddenly barged in.

“Father, I knew they were still here, but you actually hid them from me! Father, we can’t let him leave. Only by handing him over to the officials can we have the money to save Mother!”

When the woman saw her son suddenly barge in, she became agitated.

“Why, why did you harm me?” the woman demanded in a hoa.r.s.e voice as she stared at her son, who had come in.

Jiang Bao was stunned when he saw his mother sitting on the bed. After a while, Jiang Bao knelt on the ground and hugged his head as he cried.

“Mother, I didn’t do it on purpose! I was muddle-headed at that time and was deceived. That’s why I did it. All these years, I’ve been bringing you everywhere to seek treatment to make up for my mistake and save you!”

Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Could it be that the person who had kept the woman unconscious wasn’t the old man’s son, Jiang Bao?
