My inner elixir can cure all poisons? You won't dig it out.

Not daring to stay there too long, the three of them calmed down a bit and set off again.

The weeds in the wild area have grown wildly for many years, and are even a few points taller than Bai Yanlan. Song Kuang simply picked her up and let her sit on his left shoulder.

Song Kuang's behavior was very warm-hearted, so he opened his mouth unnecessarily and said, "Little dwarf, isn't the air at this high place fresher?"

Bai Yanlan: ...

It’s just that the higher you sit, the farther you can see.

In the current situation, being able to get a wider view does make people feel more at ease, so Bai Yanlan simply sat there without moving.

Bai Yanlan looked around confidently. The vegetation in this wild area was lush, like an undeveloped primeval forest. The sky above was bright, but probably only as bright as the dawn, and the light was clear and cold, without much warmth.

"Is it too quiet around here?" The three of them soon discovered something unusual.

"Yeah, let alone the chirping of birds and insects, there's not even the sound of wind." Xu Jiayi clenched her sickle, her alert expression becoming more serious. "No, there's no wind at all."

Everything around them seemed to be completely still, except for the weeds and branches they touched that swayed as they walked by, then quickly returned to being still again.

The surrounding scenery was indistinguishable, so the three of them simply chose a direction at random and kept walking forward. After walking for about ten minutes, the weeds that were as tall as a person (specifically Bai Yanlan) suddenly disappeared, and a wide open space appeared.

The open space was bustling with people, as if it had suddenly come alive.

The three of them looked at each other and saw the vigilance in each other's eyes. It was quiet one second, but suddenly it became lively the next. This situation was not right no matter how you looked at it.

Xu Jiayi tried to use the sickle to sweep the weeds behind her, but she also found that the space behind her was covered by a mysterious force, preventing the sickle from passing through: "It seems that there is no way back."

Since there was no way to retreat, the three of them no longer hesitated and continued to move forward.

"Why is there a small market here?" Looking at the people coming and going, the shouting and bargaining sounds one after another, the three of them were a little surprised.

"Hey, steamed buns, freshly baked, so fragrant..."

"Don't miss it if you pass by. The new fabrics have just arrived. It's time to make new clothes in the spring~"

"Hey, little brother, buy a hairpin for your sweetheart!"

……

The scene looked like an ordinary market, plain but full of the flavor of life.

Bai Yanlan and the other two had just been through a fight, and their clothes were covered in blood, which was somewhat out of place with the scene before them. The three could only calmly perform a few cleaning spells to make themselves look cleaner, then put away their weapons and slowly walked into the market.

"Wontons~ Freshly wrapped and cooked wontons." The wonton stall owner met Xu Yanlan's gaze and immediately greeted her with a smile: "Little girl, would you like a bowl of hot wontons?"

Bai Yanlan immediately touched her belly, ignoring the fact that it still had some baby fat, and said pitifully, "But we don't have any money."

Hearing this, the boss immediately put away his enthusiastic smile and waved his hand impatiently: "If you don't have money, don't stand here, hurry up and leave."

"But we haven't eaten for three days..." Bai Yanlan continued to act pitifully with tears in her eyes.

"Mr. Wang in the city is marrying off his daughter today, and a big buffet is being prepared. You can get a seat as long as you say a few auspicious words," the wonton stand owner pointed in a direction helplessly, "You guys should go quickly!"

Bai Yanlan wanted to continue asking questions, but the boss was busy entertaining other customers. The surrounding stalls also knew that the three of them had no money, so they ignored them.

"Dad, Mom, I'm so hungry~" To act properly, Bai Yanlan continued to act shamelessly.

Xu Jiayi & Song Kuang: ??? How did you suddenly get promoted?

"It's all my fault that I'm useless. I can't even beat the robbers." Song Kuang was very happy to be a father and immediately accepted his new identity: "My daughter, I'll take you to Mr. Wang's house and I'll find a way to make sure you have a full meal."

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when Song Kuang finished saying this, the people around him seemed to look at him with a kinder look.

The three of them quickly followed the instructions and found Mr. Wang's residence. Because there was a happy event at home, Mr. Wang's residence was decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, and it was full of joy. The sound of gongs and drums never stopped.

Mr. Wang was obviously very concerned about his daughter's marriage. Even the servants in the mansion all changed into new dark red clothes.

The two servants at the door held a bamboo basket in their hands, and whenever someone passed by, they would give a handful of wedding candy, just to receive a "Congratulations!"

As soon as Bai Yanlan and the other two approached, the servant came to greet them, "You three have come from afar, but are you here to congratulate my young lady?"

"Yes, yes!" Bai Yanlan relied on her young age and shamelessly acted cute: "Little brother, I heard that as long as you say a few auspicious words, you can have a seat at the banquet. Is that true?"

"That's right, my master loves the young lady the most. Now that the young lady is getting married, the master will prepare a three-day banquet. Anyone who offers sincere blessings can be present." The servant directly stuffed a handful of wedding candy into her mouth, looking very happy.

"Especially with such a lovely girl sending her blessings, the young lady will definitely be very happy when she knows about it."

"Wow, I wish Miss Wang eternal happiness and joy every day, and I wish the bride and groom eternal love, a happy marriage, and a son soon!"

There are only a few words of congratulations for a newlywed, and they are usually correct. But unexpectedly, as soon as the last two words were spoken, the servant frowned and reminded him coldly: "How can you say 'May you have a son soon?' It should be 'May you have a daughter soon?"

After the servant reminded them, Bai Yanlan and the other two suddenly realized that most of the people they had brought along were little girls. Moreover, they were all fair, tender, chubby, and dressed in clean and beautiful clothes, and it was obvious that they were well-fed.

They would hold their daughters on their necks or in their arms, and older girls would be held tightly by their hands. However, some little boys would just follow quietly behind and receive little attention.

I didn't expect that in this small place there is still a trend of favoring girls over boys.

"Oh, right, right." Bai Yanlan quickly changed the subject: "My parents also said that having a girl is the best. A daughter is a sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket. Miss Wang will definitely give birth to a beautiful little sister."

Bai Yanlan's words made the servant smile again. He led them directly into the mansion and found an empty table to sit down. "Please wait for a moment, three distinguished guests. The food will be served soon."

It was already past dinner time, so there weren't many people eating. Most of those still at the table were men drinking and chatting. They talked about a variety of things, but after listening for a long time, there didn't seem to be anything useful.

There were some little girls playing and fighting in the yard. Bai Yanlan immediately transformed herself into a real child and blended in with them.

"I know a lot of games! They are more fun than the ones you play."
