Chapter 467: Wet Nurse

"Young brother, are you encountering some difficulties?"

Li Miao had no intention of exposing him, just propping up his face and asking with great interest.

The young man tried to hand the meat shreds to the infant, and seeing she wouldn't eat, his expression became even uglier. Hearing Li Miao ask, he couldn't help but feel sorrow, sighing as he said.

"Yes, I was originally delivering a letter to my hometown for my master, but I happened to run into a group of villains plotting something bad. After fighting hard for a night, I only managed to protect this child and escape..."

Halfway through, he suddenly gave a bitter smile.

Why was he saying all this?

This person was just a wealthy young master who pretended to be refined; he was afraid he hadn't even seen a chicken killed a few times in his life. Besides scaring the other party, what use was there in saying all this?

At this thought, he shook his head.

"Jianghu matters, big brother, you wouldn't understand."

Li Miao raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.

"I am also a Jianghu person?"

The young man looked him over carefully upon hearing this and gave a bitter smile.

"Big brother, don't lie to me. Your hands are delicate, not even a single callus can be seen, and the skin on your face is more delicate than a woman's. I'm afraid you haven't even held a sword in your life, right?"

"Let's not talk about this."

He covered the swaddle and bowed to Li Miao.

"Wu Mingxiao, from Dengzhou."

"May I ask your name?"

Li Miao said with a smile.

"Li Sen, just an idler."

Wu Mingxiao nodded.

"Big brother, where do you live? Later, I will escort you down the mountain. After I send you home, can you help me find a wet nurse to feed my young lady?"

Li Miao tilted his head.

"That might be too late. I am from the capital, just wandering around here... besides, your young lady's little face is white, and she can't wait for us to go down the mountain."

Wu Mingxiao was flustered for a moment.

He trained in the army all day and hadn't even touched a woman's hand, let alone an infant. He just felt that it was common for him to practice martial arts until his face turned white, and he thought the infant was the same.

"Bi—bi—big—"

He started stuttering.

Li Miao reached out a hand.

"Give the child to me."

"Oh, oh."

Wu Mingxiao nodded and blankly handed the infant to Li Miao.

Li Miao lifted the swaddle, reached in, and pinched a few times, secretly passing a bit of true energy in.

"Waaaa—"

The infant immediately opened her eyes and cried loudly, making Wu Mingxiao jump for joy. He leaned in front of Li Miao to look around, asking anxiously.

"Big brother, do you also know medicine?"

Li Miao handed the infant to him with a smile.

"I wouldn't call it medicine, I just... know a little about the human body."

"This child looks like she was dropped, and then frozen, hungry, and bumped for a few days, almost to the point of stopping her breathing. She just woke up now."

Wu Mingxiao nodded hurriedly, and seeing the infant crying non-stop, he continued to ask uneasily.

"Then big brother, why is she still crying..."

Li Miao waved his hand.

"Hungry, that's why. If you were hungry for two days, you'd cry too."

He looked up and saw Wu Mingxiao looking at him with anxious, expectant eyes, seemingly waiting for him to give a solution.

Wu Mingxiao was from a military background and was young. Although he felt Li Miao didn't know martial arts, he was older after all, and his speech and behavior carried a kind of confidence and ease that took everything in stride. Having casually solved the infant's illness, he developed a sense of reliance on him, like a sick person seeking medical advice in a panic.

Li Miao didn't refuse either.

"Wait."

He said and stood up.

Wu Mingxiao was stunned.

Just now, Li Miao was lying on his side, covered in a bear-skin cloak, so it wasn't obvious. Now that he stood up, his physique was revealed; even through the loose long robe, one could see the near-perfect outline, and his height was a full head taller than Wu Mingxiao.

The version of himself in Wu Mingxiao's dreams was just like this.

Li Miao jumped off the rock and smiled back at Wu Mingxiao.

"Whatever you hear in a moment, don't move, remember that?" ===== CHAPTER 468 =====
