Chapter 170 Li Lan's Entrustment to Grandma Liu

At what should have been a joyous moment, the midwife shouted to Li Lan's husband, "Liu Yuan, come here quickly! Your wife is dying! Bring the baby here and let her take a look."

The child had just been rescued and hadn't had time to put on clothes yet. It was not appropriate to just take the child away like that, so Zhang Xiujuan took out the blanket she had prepared earlier to hold the child. Perhaps guessing that Liu Yuan wouldn't be able to hold the child, she quickly helped hold the child and then handed it to him.

After Liu Yuan took the child and showed it to Li Lan, Li Lan's mental state became worse, but she wanted to give the child more chances to survive when she was on the verge of death.

So after talking to her husband for a few words, she asked to see Zhang Xiujuan.

Zhang Xiujuan probably guessed her intention of looking for her.

But since she was about to die, as long as her request was not too excessive, she would just fulfill the wishes of a dying person! She only hoped that doing so would make her leave with peace of mind.

"Auntie, thank you for your concern and care for me before. Unfortunately, I have a short life. Even though you repeatedly told me that this was just a small incident, I just can't live up to it... Now I can see that I am about to die, so I want to ask you one last favor, cough... cough."

Zhang Xiujuan saw that she had been talking for so long and was probably tired, so she patted her chest to calm her down and replied, "Just tell me what you want! As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

Seeing Zhang Xiujuan said so, Li Lan no longer had any concerns and directly told her her plan.

Of course, Zhang Xiujuan listened carefully and agreed to her request.

Just like that, after Li Lan explained everything, she died soon after.

From being surrounded by bandits to driving them away, bandaging the wounded and cleaning up the scene, to having difficulty in having children.

This series of events meant that they had wasted a lot of time here, and there was only one hour left until evening.

Although Liu Yingxiong also knew about Li Lan's situation, he had to tell Liu Yuan in the face of major issues: "I am also deeply saddened by your wife's situation, but I have to tell you that we are about to set off again. I believe you also know what this place has just experienced, so we can't stay here tonight.

We must find a new place to stay for the night while we still have time. So, you decide whether to bury your wife here or take her with you and deal with her at the next resting place."

Liu Yuan had heard that the road from here on out was mostly mountainous, and he was worried he wouldn't be able to find a good burial site. So, he decided to head back the way they had come and find a place to bury his wife first.

Liu Yingxiong was relieved to see that he could still think so rationally. To help him, Liu Yingxiong said that he would ask his two sons to come and help. To comfort him, Liu Yingxiong said that he was not alone. Since they all came out together from Huaihua Village, there was no reason for him to ignore it.

After taking care of Li Lan's funeral, their team set out on their journey again.

On the way, since their own carriage had given way, Grandma Liu and Grandpa Liu had no choice but to walk with Liu Xiaoxiao and the others.

"Grandma, I heard that the pregnant woman asked to see you for the last time. What did she tell you?" Although Liu Xiaoxiao knew a little about the situation inside from the outside.

But I didn't hear the conversation between Li Lan and Zhang Xiujuan.

Zhang Xiujuan also knew that she would have to tell her family about this sooner or later. Now that they were walking together, it didn't matter if she told them now.

So she said, "It's really nothing serious. She just wanted to find someone to support her newborn child, but she knew she couldn't ask for too much. So she asked me to take good care of her child while we were fleeing the famine. She said, as long as he didn't starve to death, that would be all that mattered."
