Chapter 121: Cannon Fodder 5
Xia Xing'er looked at the scenes and information that suddenly appeared in her mind and couldn't help but widen her eyes. She realized that this was bound to space.
She looked at Yuan Wei helplessly.
"Everyone said you took it yourself." Xia Xing'er sighed.
Yuan Wei waved her hand nonchalantly and explained, "I'm afraid I might accidentally reveal the space in front of outsiders. No one knows what will happen then. So it's safer to keep it with you."
Yuan Wei earnestly warned Xia Xing'er, "Try to use this space as little as possible when you're outside. After all, we're short of supplies right now, and it's easy to attract other people's attention."
She herself basically doesn't use space outside because she knows that once she is discovered, it means endless trouble.
"I know." Xia Xing'er nodded in response, knowing that Yuan Wei's worries were not unreasonable.
As soon as she thought about it, a bottle appeared in Xia Xing'er's hand.
She handed the bottle to Yuan Wei and said with a smile, "I found this in the space."
Yuan Wei knew at a glance that it was the spiritual liquid she had put into the space.
She stared at the bottle in Xia Xing'er's hand with pretended curiosity and asked in surprise, "What is this?"
Xia Xing'er examined the bottle carefully, and after recalling the information in her mind, she responded, "It seems to be spiritual liquid, which can nourish the body. But you can't use too much at once, otherwise your body won't be able to bear it."
After hearing this, Yuan Wei's face lit up with joy, and she said excitedly, "That's great! This bottle of spiritual liquid is just right for you."
There was also a glint of joy in Xia Xing'er's eyes. After all, no one was willing to give up their life easily.
Yuan Wei's eyes moved to the jade pendant in Xia Xing'er's hand, and she suddenly said, "I feel like Song Mengqiu has been acting a little strange lately. She keeps asking me if you've given me anything."
In fact, Song Mengqiu had not asked about it, but Yuan Wei intended to use this to remind Xia Xing'er to be wary of Song Mengqiu.
Xia Xing'er frowned, "Is that so? Then try not to associate with her in the future."
Long before, Xia Xing'er felt that Song Mengqiu was impetuous and not stable enough.
But Yuan Wei rarely had a friend to talk to, and her own health was not good and her energy was limited, so she did not interfere too much in the interactions between Yuan Wei and Song Mengqiu.
Unexpectedly, Song Mengqiu was not only cunning but also had poor moral character.
Who would ask what a dying person left behind for his daughter?
Yuan Wei hinted, "Mom, you have to hide this jade pendant well so no one sees it."
Yuan Wei knew very well that the jade pendant had the function of concealment, but she didn't know whether Xia Xing'er knew how to use this function.
Xia Xing'er stared at the jade pendant, silently thinking about what Yuan Wei said, and at the same time thinking about how to hide the jade pendant.
At this moment, the jade pendant suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
Xia Xing'er was shocked and mistakenly thought that the jade pendant was lost. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that she could still clearly see the scene in the space in her mind.
"Mom, did you hide the jade pendant?" Yuan Wei exclaimed.
"I don't know..." Before she could finish her words, Xia Xing'er was stunned and looked at her hands. "I hid it here."
I saw a small red mole on the back of Xia Xing'er's hand, which was invisible unless you looked carefully.

Although Xia Xing'er's health has improved, she has been lying in bed for so long that she cannot get up and move around for the time being.
There was no need to worry about Xia Xing'er dying at any time. Yuan Wei took the time to call the original owner's cousins and tear down the fence of her own house.
I spent money to buy bricks and built it.
If you don't do it, Song Mengqiu will think this is her home and she can come and go as she pleases.
These days, Yuan Wei has been pressuring her openly and secretly, asking her not to come over again, but Song Mengqiu pretended not to hear and came over every morning.
Every time Yuan Wei would stand at the door of Xia Xing'er's room and not let her in. Seeing her anxious look, Yuan Wei found it funny.
Yuan Wei also felt uncomfortable with people entering and leaving her home at will, just wanting to make fun of her.
The Yuan family is a big family, but Mr. and Mrs. Yuan are not the kind of people who like to control their children.
Once all children get married, they will be separated and live their own lives.
The original owner's father, Yuan Junming, was the fourth child in the family. He had two older brothers and an older sister, all of whom got married before Yuan Junming.
After Yuan Junming got married, the Yuan family officially split up.
After the separation, the old couple of the Yuan family chose to live with their eldest son Yuan Junyong.
In this era, every household was not rich and there was no gap between the rich and the poor. Therefore, after the family split up, there was no conflict of interest between the families, and the relationship became more harmonious.
However, since Yuan Junming's sacrifice, only Xia Xing'er and her daughter are left in the original owner's family.
Old Lady Yuan felt sorry for them because they were alone and helpless, and often gave Xia Xing'er and her daughter some small items.
She was very sensible. Everything she gave was hers and Old Man Yuan's own, and she never used anything from Yuan Junyong's family to supplement them.
Yuan Junyong was well aware of this, but he turned a blind eye and occasionally secretly gave something to the original owner behind people's backs.
Only the original owner's aunt He Xiaomiao had some complaints about the old lady's behavior.
She thought that Xia Xing'er's salary was enough to support her and the original owner's lives, and with Yuan Junming's subsidy, their family might be even poorer.
Therefore, she was very disgusted with the old lady's behavior.
However, He Xiaomiao did not show it in front of Old Lady Yuan and Xia Xing'er, but she would feel upset whenever she saw Old Lady Yuan sneaking into the original owner's house.
Reason told her that Xia Xing'er had lost her husband and needed someone to support her, but emotionally she could not accept that she had to help her wealthy sister-in-law when she was poor.
Even though the old lady didn't take away her things, she lived in her own home, so wouldn't those things eventually end up in her home?
Every time she sulked, the original owner's cousin thought she had entered menopause, and there were always a few days every month when she was in a bad mood.
He Xiaomiao had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but all of them were directed at Xia Xing'er.
She loved the original owner very much.
She gave birth to three sons and always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately her body was damaged when she gave birth to her third son and she was never able to get pregnant again.
The original owner was fair and pretty when she was a child, and He Xiaomiao loved her very much.
When the original owner was young, this aunt was the one who hugged her the most, and she never let go.
This time Yuan Wei wanted to build a wall, and He Xiaomiao was the most active.
She was worried that Yuan Wei didn't understand and was afraid that she would be overworked, so she took care of all the matters, including purchasing materials and supervising her son building the wall.
When Yuan Wei suggested making a special shape when building the wall, her eldest cousin Yuan Dafeng muttered, "You really have nothing to do."
However, He Xiaomiao gave Yuan Dafeng a severe slap on the face, and he dared not say a word after that.
After a while, Yuan Dafeng covered his slightly red head, ran to Yuan Wei with a smile and asked, "Wei'er, what kind of shape do you want to make?"
Yuan Wei looked at his slightly red forehead and asked worriedly, "Do you want to apply some medicine?"
Yuan Dafeng smiled foolishly, "No need, men are tough and thick-skinned."
Yuan Wei rolled her eyes secretly, thinking that this guy had never been beaten enough, and he still dared to say that he was thick-skinned.
He is almost thirty years old, but still smiling all day long. No wonder he is always scolded by his aunt.
At this moment, Xia Xing'er came over with a pot of water, "Take a break and drink some water."
Yuan Wei quickly walked over to Xia Xing'er and took the kettle from her hand. There was a hint of anger in her tone: "You just felt better, why did you run out?"
Xia Xing'er smiled helplessly and said softly, "I'm fine now. I've been lying in bed for so long that my bones are starting to ache."
He Xiaomiao walked over, took the kettle from Yuan Wei's hand, rolled her eyes at Xia Xing'er, and said bluntly, "Just keep trying to be tough! Who was the person who was lying in bed unable to get up the other day?"
After saying that, she turned and left without looking back.
