Chapter 2 Her Portable Power Bank?
Zhao Taohua rolled her eyes. What a kind heart! Giving her own niece to a dying old man as a concubine, is that all the kindness she's got?
"Don't listen to her nonsense, put on your wedding dress and hurry up!" Grandma Sun urged, "Don't miss the auspicious time, it's a ten-mile walk from Zhao Family Village to the town."
That brat dared to talk nonsense in front of them, cursing her youngest son!
Seeing that she had stalled for enough time and the time was ripe, Zhao Taohua slowly smiled.
She silently counted to three in her mind: "Three, two, one, fall!"
With a loud thud, Zhao Sanshi, who was walking beside Wang, suddenly collapsed.
His previously normal complexion had turned ashen, bloodless, with sunken eyes and chapped lips.
Startled, Wang dropped her wedding dress and rushed to Zhao Sanshi, anxiously calling out, "Sanshi? Sanshi!!"
Wang called out several times, but received no response. If it weren't for the faint movement of her chest, she would have thought she was dead!
Grandma Sun was also terrified. Her youngest son, Zhao Sanshi, was the apple of her eye. She always thought of him first when she had something good. How could he suddenly faint?
"My little one, wake up!"
Grandma Sun was so worried that she wiped away her tears with her sleeve.
Seeing this, Zhao Taohua quickly grabbed the wall and fled outside. After taking only one step, her body became so weak that she began to sway. She tried her best to keep her balance.
Even though she was completely exhausted, her strong will to survive propelled Zhao Taohua to the courtyard gate, where she cried out, "Help!"
Grandma Sun and Madam Wang inside the house twitched at the thought: that brat had actually run off somewhere!
"Little puppy, don't run away!"
Grandma Sun got up and chased after Zhao Taohua with a fierce expression, with Wang Shi close behind.
Although many people in the village have gone out to work, there are still one or two people in each household. If this disturbs others, things will become difficult to handle.
"!!!"
Zhao Taohua's heart was in her throat. She immediately pulled open the courtyard gate and rushed out as fast as she could.
Despite having almost no strength left in her body, Zhao Taohua's tenacious willpower sustained her as she ran and shouted for help.
She was on the verge of collapse as she listened to the approaching footsteps behind her. How could she possibly outrun two normal people like Grandma Sun and Mrs. Wang?
"Little dog, Grandma is doing this for your own good. The Li family mansion is a golden nest; you'll be living a life of luxury there."
Grandma has found you a good place; you'll thank Grandma in the future!
Grandma Sun approached and reached out her devilish claws toward the back of Zhao Taohua's collar!
Zhao Taohua was heartbroken, watching her last hope about to be extinguished, when suddenly she saw someone appear in front of her!
The morning sun shone on the tall, sturdy boy, and his long, snow-white hair gleamed silver in the sunlight!
In an instant, Zhao Taohua, who was already exhausted, burst out with the last bit of strength. Her strong will to survive made her rush towards the boy and crash into him!
Zhao Taohua lost her balance and fell backward. Suddenly, a force appeared around her waist, and a large hand pulled her back.
Zhao Taohua looked up at him. The young man had a well-defined face, with slightly furrowed eyebrows and thin lips pursed beneath his high nose. He was both handsome and masculine, just the type Zhao Taohua liked.
Shockingly, he simultaneously possessed overwhelming malevolence and a body radiating golden light of merit!
A heavy aura of malevolence enveloped his entire body. Hidden within the darkness was a figure resembling a golden Buddha, radiating golden light that was dazzling and awe-inspiring!
"Help!!!" Zhao Taohua cried, gripping the boy's hand tightly.
The moment her fingers touched the boy's, Zhao Taohua was immediately surprised to find that her body, which had previously been devoid of cultivation, suddenly had a wisp of spiritual energy.
And as time passed, the spiritual energy within her body steadily increased.
This significant discovery prompted Zhao Taohua to quickly grab the boy's other hand as well, confirming her suspicions.
The more skin she touches the boy, the more spiritual energy she gains!
In an instant, Zhao Taohua's gaze towards the boy changed: her portable power bank?
Zhao Taohua's cries for help were quite loud and quickly alerted the neighbors.
The villagers love to join in the fun, and once they heard the commotion, a crowd quickly gathered around.
Grandma Sun's face changed drastically. Fearing that Zhao Taohua might say something else that the villagers would overhear, she quickly scolded Zhao Taohua:
"You ungrateful brat! Grandma found you a good marriage, but you refused and insisted on eloping with this jinx from outside."
Good heavens! Shen Ming is a born jinx. Getting close to him will bring bad luck at best, and death at worst. Why did you have to choose this jinx?
Your parents only have one child, and they're not home. I can't just stand by and watch you jump into a fire pit!
"Shen Ming, let go! My granddaughter will never marry you!"
Shen Mingjian frowned. What do you mean, marry him?
He has absolutely no connection with Zhao Taohua!
Fearing that Zhao Taohua would lose her reputation, Shen Ming immediately withdrew his hand upon seeing this.
Zhao Taohua: "???"
If the battery is not fully charged, you can leave it without pausing.
As Zhao Taohua turned around, she forcefully grabbed one of his hands again!
This time, it was Shen Ming's turn to be surprised. He turned his head in disbelief to look at Zhao Taohua: Her? ???
"Brother Shenming, I haven't eaten for three days and I'm feeling dizzy. Can you help me?"
Zhao Taohua said pitifully, "In short, I just won't let go!"
"Oh my god, is Peach Blossom going to elope with Shen Ming?"
"Zhao Ershu and his wife will be furious when they get back!"
"Who says otherwise? The daughter she raised with so much care was going to elope with a jinx. It must have been Shen Ming who instigated it. Luckily, Grandma Sun stopped it in time..."
The surrounding villagers pointed and whispered among themselves about Zhao Taohua and Shen Ming, their eyes filled with disapproval and contempt.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Taohua's eyes turned icy cold. That damned old woman actually turned around and bit her!
In ancient times, a woman's reputation was of utmost importance, comparable to her life. Once her reputation was ruined, she would never be able to hold her head high in the world, and it would also implicate Zhao Ershu and the Qian couple, as well as the innocent Shen Ming.
As the conversation grew increasingly absurd, she immediately raised her voice and shouted to the villagers who were watching the commotion, "Dear elders, uncles, aunts, and grandpas, I have absolutely no connection with Brother Shen Ming. He was the one who kindly saved my life!"
My grandmother, taking advantage of my parents' absence, forced me to marry a wealthy man named Li as his ninth concubine for twenty taels of silver.
I refused to comply even at the cost of my life, so she locked me in the house for three days without food or water. Until today, she brought my uncle and aunt over to kidnap me and take me to the Li residence!
Just now, I managed to run out and meet Brother Shen Ming while my uncle suddenly fainted.
I had nothing on me. If we were eloping, why would we not pack our bags and run away in broad daylight?
Look at Shen Ming's appearance, he has obviously just returned from hunting in the back mountain and was just passing by the road in front of my house!
If you don't believe me, you can go to my house and see for yourself. My uncle fainted in my house!
Please, everyone, help me get the village chief to come and stand up for me!!!
Zhao Taohua screamed at the top of her lungs, her weak body emitting a volume comparable to a loudspeaker, the sound traveling through the air and reaching all corners of Zhao Family Village.
She had the air of someone who would yell at the village chief to come if no one helped her.
Grandma Sun tensed up in a panic. How did the little dog come out completely naked?
