Chapter 148 Li Yan's Experience
"Let's go up together. You just said you would work like a slave, but now you don't even listen to me?" Li Youran frowned and looked at Li Yan seriously with a hint of seriousness on her face. Then she reached out and grabbed the dirty Li Yan.
Li Yan looked at Li Youran's little hand in astonishment as she was holding his without disgust. He was a little at a loss for what to do, but he was very touched in his heart.
"Don't be afraid, you will be my subordinate from now on. I'll take you to change clothes and wash up first." Li Youran smiled gently at Li Yan and said nonchalantly.
Li Yan's eyes were filled with tears. He wiped away the tears with a dirty hand and then nodded vigorously.
"Thank you, miss, for not despising me." Li Yan bowed to Li Youran again, but was stopped by Li Youran.
After getting on the carriage, Li Youran asked Han Yan to drive the carriage to a remote alley, then took out suitable clothes for Li Yan from the space, and asked Zhu Yao to prepare clean water so that Li Yan could wash himself thoroughly.
Li Yan laboriously carried the bucket and clean clothes into a secluded alley. After a long while, he slowly walked out of the alley.
Everyone looked at him, and only then did they see clearly the little beggar - oh no, it should be said that it was Li Yan's true appearance.
Although he was still young, he was already very handsome. After changing into clean clothes, he looked even more noble, like a young man from a wealthy family.
Li Yan scratched his head shyly and asked cautiously: "Miss, am I ugly?"
Li Youran was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Not ugly, and... you are very good-looking!" She was secretly glad that the little beggar she brought back turned out to be so handsome.
Hearing this, Li Yan was as happy as a child, grinning and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss! No one has ever praised me like this before. This is the first time I've heard such words, and I feel very happy."
Li Youran didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she had to let the other maids get on the carriage first.
Then she got on the carriage and motioned Li Yan to get on as well.
Li Yan climbed onto the carriage obediently and sat quietly in it without saying a word.
He stared quietly at the horse curtain in front of him. As the carriage moved forward, the curtain swayed rhythmically.
Li Youran looked at Li Yan from time to time and keenly discovered that there was something like a tattoo on Li Yan's arm.
"Li Yan, what's that on your left wrist?" Li Youran asked with a frown.
"Ah? I don't know either. I've had it since I can remember," Li Yan rolled up his sleeves. There was a totem of the sun and the moon on it. He didn't know what it represented.
Li Youran's brows furrowed more and more. She carefully observed the mark on Li Yan's wrist and thought to herself: This is something that he was born with. It's not painted on, nor is it made with any special method. So what is it? What does this mark represent?
"Miss, is there anything wrong with this?" Li Yan asked curiously when he saw Li Youran staring at her wrist.
He touched the mark on his wrist and felt a little confused. After all, the mark didn't hurt or itch, and it had no effect on him, nor did it prevent him from doing things.
"It's okay, just asking." Li Youran said casually, as if she didn't want Li Yan to know too much.
She decided to put the matter aside for now and investigate it more thoroughly later.
Perhaps, this mark will become the key clue to solving the mystery of Li Yan's life experience.
At this time, Yumian in the space was paying close attention to everything in the outside world. When it saw the mark on Li Yan's wrist, it was shocked.
It secretly wondered, could it be that this was another god who had come down to earth to experience disaster? Moreover, he was a beggar, and he was actually saved by his young master.
Yumian became more and more curious about the identity of her young master, but Tiandao kept the secret strictly and refused to reveal a single word to her.
The carriage continued to move forward and finally stopped at the entrance of Tanhewan. The entrance was filled with chairs, obviously for the waiting guests to sit.
Li Youran looked at the long line at the door. It was difficult for people to squeeze in. Inside, it was a busy scene and no one noticed her arrival at all.
Li Youran turned around and looked in the direction of Pinyou Pavilion, only to see that business there was also booming, with customers queuing up in a long line.
This made her realize that these shops were doing quite well and attracted many customers.
"Zhu Yao, prepare to open a Tanhewan on South Street. This shop is totally insufficient. We have to wait in line for a long time even to eat." Li Youran instructed Zhu Yao beside him.
"Okay, miss. I'll do it right away!" Zhu Yao took the order, took the silver note from Li Youran, got off the carriage, and went straight to the pawnshop to buy a shop. The renovation style was the same as the current Tanhewan.
“By the way, remember to post a notice to recruit people.” Li Youran added.
"Let's go to the next town tomorrow to see where everyone has opened shops!" Li Youran is a small boss now, and many things are handled by his subordinates instead of doing it himself.
"Miss, there is news. A message was sent saying that a shop has been found and is being renovated. The style of the renovation is exactly the same as that of Biquan Town." Han Yan reported. This was the news this morning.
"That's good. Let's go back and let Zhuyao come back with my cousin and the others!" Li Youran signaled Han Yan to go back to Lijia Village.
"Miss, can I go with you?" Li Yan asked weakly.
"You don't have to call yourself "little one" in the future. Just call me directly." Li Youran nodded, because she really couldn't stand Li Yan calling himself "little one" one moment and "I" the next. It was obvious that he had never been a servant, and it would be difficult to change that.
"Use this to rub the wounds on your body!" Li Youran took out a golden wound medicine from a small cloth bag. It was a top-grade medicine.
Li Yan carefully took the golden wound medicine, opened it and smelled it. He knew something about medicinal herbs and had lived in the mountains. At that time, he learned some theories about medicinal herbs and had some ability to protect himself. Otherwise, the injuries on his body would have killed him thousands of times.
"Thank you, Miss. You... are so nice to me." Li Yan was so moved that he was speechless. His eyes were red like a rabbit.
Li Youran watched him rub the porcelain bottle of golden wound medicine left and right as if he had never seen such a good thing, as if it were a treasure he was afraid of dropping.
"Can you tell me about your experiences over the years?" Li Youran asked.
Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of touching the pain deep in the boy's heart.
Li Yan was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, with a trace of confusion and pain in his eyes: "I don't know what my name is, I only know that I ran from a big mountain to a dense forest, encountered wolves, snakes, and all kinds of beasts, and almost lost my life. I forgot my home, and I only know that I don't belong to Nanxiang Country..."
His tone was so calm that it made people feel distressed, as if these sufferings had long become a part of life.
Li Youran listened quietly, and a wave of sympathy welled up in her heart. She wanted to comfort the boy, but she didn't know how to start.
Li Yan continued, "Then I ran away and saw the sunshine outside. I came to Biquan Town again. Because I had no money, I could only beg for a living. But I still couldn't eat enough and wear warm clothes, so I stole and robbed. I was often chased and beaten by others. I had already gotten used to it..."
There was a bitter smile on his face, as if he was mocking the unfairness of fate.
However, those eyes revealed an unyielding tenacity.
Li Youran looked at the boy in front of her silently, her heart full of sympathy and respect.
She knew that the boy had gone through a lot of hardships, but he was still alive and strong.
After Li Yan finished speaking, the two fell into silence.
Li Youran tried to convey her understanding and support to Li Yan with her eyes, and Li Yan looked back at her gratefully.
Time passed minute by minute, and Li Youran finally broke the silence: "If you are willing, let's work together to change the current situation." Her voice was firm and warm.
Li Yan nodded slightly, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Although he didn't know what the future would be like, at this moment, he believed that the little girl in front of him could bring him some changes.
