Observation

Li Xiaoran looked at everyone’s curious gazes and laughed.

“It’s actually very simple! All I rely on is observation!”

Speaking of this, Li Xiaoran looked at Little Six first.

“Although you’re young, your lips are very light. It’s the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, but you’re wearing two layers of clothes, and your hands are in your pockets. This means that your body usually feels cold, so you like to eat spicy food to warm your body!”

After that, Li Xiaoran came to Gao Hu again.

“Your lips are red and shiny, and you have red sores on your nose. It’s obvious that you’re inflamed. Naturally, you want to eat something light!”

Li Xiaoran came to Zhen Liming and said, “As for this person, you probably suffered internal injuries! Your face is pale, and it’s obvious that you lost too much blood. At this time, it’s best to eat something light! Therefore, you should eat plain noodles without any minced meat.”

“And as for these two, although they’ve never spoken, you look like you’re from Sichuan. There’s no one in Sichuan who doesn’t eat chili. Even if there is, it’s very rare!” Li Xiaoran looked at the remaining two and explained.

Hearing Li Xiaoran’s words, the two people who hadn’t spoken since the beginning were also shocked.

The older man couldn’t help but ask, “Little girl, you’re quite capable! How did you determine that we’re from Sichuan solely from our looks?”

“I wonder if you’ve heard that many fortune-tellers will look at bone physiognomy. A person’s face can change over time, but bone physiognomy is very difficult to change. As for Sichuan’s people, bone physiognomy is roughly divided into those types. You and this one just happen to have the typical bone physiognomy of Sichuan’s people!” Li Xiaoran said.

When Xu Niansheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he was immediately shocked.

“Girl, you actually know how to study bone resonance at such a young age. You’re really impressive!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately explained with a smile, “Actually, it’s not that I have any amazing abilities. It’s just that I used to be a quiet person and only knew how to do things in silence, so I developed the ability to secretly observe others. When I had nothing to do, I would think about it blindly, and I gradually gained some insights of my own! As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After accumulating bit by bit, I now have impressive observation abilities!”

When Xu Niansheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he reached out to touch his beard with a look of deep agreement.

“No wonder you said that to Little Six previously! As expected, experts are hidden among the masses. We really can’t underestimate anyone we meet! I’ve learned something!”

“Sir, you must be joking! It’s just pure accumulated experience!” Li Xiaoran said humbly.

Li Xiaoran was actually not lying. In the past, when she was in the modern era, she liked to sit in a corner of the market when she had nothing to do and observe the behavior and expressions of various people.

Coupled with her ability to empathize, she could guess what others were thinking when they made a small move.

“But very few people can achieve this!” Xu Niansheng couldn’t help but sigh. “We still have something on today, so we’ll take our leave! When we come back, we’ll definitely come back to taste delicious food!”

“You’re welcome to come again next time. Maybe I’ll make more delicious noodles then!” Li Xiaoran smiled and sent the five of them off.

After bidding farewell, the people got on their horses and left the roadside stall.

When he could no longer see the noodle stall, Du Wen, who had been following Xu Niansheng, couldn’t help but speak.

“Sir, we need that little girl’s skills for this trip. Why haven’t you spoken up?”

Xu Niansheng rode his horse and pondered for a moment before sighing.

“Forget it. This trip isn’t peaceful to begin with. We don’t even know what kind of danger we’ll encounter. Why drag an unrelated little girl into this mess?! Is there really no one more suitable in this world that we can’t even let a little girl off?!”

When Xu Niansheng said that, the others around him stopped talking.

However, at this moment, everyone looked solemn.

“Sigh, if we had known earlier, we should have bought a few things from that girl. That way, we wouldn’t have to be afraid of the dust on the road!” Little Six thought of something and sighed.

The others recalled what Li Xiaoran and the others had on their faces and suddenly had a thought.

“Let’s find someone to make some when we get to the next town!” Zhen Liming said.

They all nodded and moved on without another word.

On Li Xiaoran’s side, after the three of them cleaned up the dishes and tables, they saw that there were no guests, so they found a chair and sat down.

“Sigh, I really didn’t expect it to be so tiring to run a noodle stall!” Li Xiaoqing sat down and rubbed her sore legs as she sighed.

Li Xiaoran’s feet were also a little sore, but she was mentally prepared, so she didn’t feel very uncomfortable.

“Is this how you used to observe people carefully?” Luo Cheng asked suddenly.

Li Xiaoran was stunned for a moment before nodding.

“In the Li family, when my father was being filial, the only thing I could do was to protect myself carefully, then try my best to familiarize myself with everyone, then seize the opportunity to escape that sort of place!”

“Didn’t you ever think of resigning yourself to your fate?” Luo Cheng’s reaction was odd as he asked very calmly.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, he immediately sneered.

“Why should I accept my fate? What I encountered was only a temporary setback! The Li family can trap me for a while, but not for a lifetime. I can always think of a way to escape from this! My life has never been decided by others. The person who can decide my life can only be me!”

“But there are many things in this world that you can’t do anything about!” Luo Cheng thought of something and said meaningfully.

“Who said that? Who said that we’re helpless? When we know that it’s impossible, it’s time for us to accumulate power. Like a seed, we secretly accumulate our strength to eventually see the light of day!” Li Xiaoran said disapprovingly, “My fate is up to me, not the heavens or anyone else!”

“My fate is up to me, not anyone else!” Luo Cheng repeated Li Xiaoran’s words.

Gradually, Luo Cheng seemed to have understood something. Then, his dispirited expression disappeared and he became invigorated.

“You’re right. My life is up to me and no one else!”

Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng and for some reason, she suddenly recalled the dream she entered in her sleep that day!

The man in the ice cave must have been Luo Cheng! What had he been through?
