A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 82

"Because I only feel alive when I work."

He says it very lightly. What Lily hears is rustling of leaves, and she doesn't hear what Louis says. "Mr. Louis, what are you talking about?" asks Lily.

She wants to lean forward and listens carefully, but she is caught by the vines under her feet when her head is about to hit on Louis' back.

Louis seems to have noticed it, turns around quickly, and holds her steadily.

“Miss Lily, this road is bumpy.” Louis is a little helpless. Sometimes he thinks this woman is very smart but sometimes he thinks she is too stupid to walk well.

Louis grabs her wrist, and he moves forward while cutting the branches on both sides.

Looking at the wrist he is holding, she feels her heart beats fast, and her ears turn red.

About ten minutes later, they finally go out and see the surrounded building complex, which is simple but very firm, with a variety of vegetables growing around. This place is very lively.

“Hold on.” Lily shouts at Louis, then grabs two pieces of dirt from the ground and applies it to her face and arms, and then wipes the dirt on him. Louis frowns.

Lily says, "It's not good for us to go right in. We just pretend to get lost."

“Mr. Louis, someone is here." Seeing that someone comes out carrying a hoe and seems to be going to farm, she says to Louis “Act according to circumstances”, and then lies prone on the ground, pretending to faint away.

When he sees the man walking towards them, Louis squats down quickly, and picks up Lily. The woman's face is muddy, looking like she is running away, and a light smile creeps on Louis’s eyes.

This woman surprises him again.

Soon, the man runs up. He is very vigilant, but when he sees Louis and Lily's embarrassed appearance, he relaxes, saying something that is unknown to Louis.

Louis couldn't understand it, but when the man points at the village, he nods and takes Lily to follow the man into the village. Then they go into a room.

After a while, a woman wearing a headscarf comes in with a bowl of water in her hand.

The water in the bowl is clear, like the spring.

Louis takes the bowl and pretends to be thirsty. After making sure that the water is fine, he feeds it to Lily.

Lily opens her mouth and takes two sips, then slowly opens her eyes.

“Oh my god, doesn't we die?" Lily rejoices, and falls into Louis’s arms with tears.

Louis is startled.

Not only Chloe can act, he feels that this woman is also very good at acting.

Lily soon gets rid of Louis. She wipes her tears and pretends that she just sees the woman. She asks curiously in Ukrainian, "Where is this?"

“You know our language? The woman looks at Lily in shock and is a little excited, "I thought only the people in our village could speak this language."

Because the Ukrainian language almost disappears, and because they do not understand the language spoken by outsiders, they have been living by hunting.

Lily says, "My grandfather taught me. He says that the north is where he is born and grew up. No matter where he goes, he will never forget his hometown, but it is a pity that my grandpa has died."

“God bless you." The woman squeezes Louis aside and takes Lily's hand, like a mother watching her daughter. "You must have suffered a lot, right?"

Lily nods and weeps, "My father dislikes Saha as he is poor and he is dumb. My father wants to marry me to a 60-year-old man. But I really love Saha and I am willing to do everything for him."

The woman glances at Louis and asks Lily, "Is he Saha? Are you a couple?"

“Well, yes. He loves me so much, and I eloped with him. Unexpectedly, my father was angry and suppressed our business everywhere. We couldn't stay in Limar, so we went away with the goods and wanted to sell the goods so that the children could live a better life. But we get lost and we also lost the truck."

“What about your children?"

“I am just pregnant." Lily touches her abdomen, and her expression becomes more pitiful, "It doesn’t matter if my father complained about me, but this is my child. I want to raise it."

The woman is touched by Lily’s words, and she takes Lily into her arms, patting her on the back and comforting her, "You are such a pitiful child. I am also a mother and I know how hard it is to get pregnant."

“If you don't mind, stay with me tonight with your husband."

“I don’t want to trouble you." Lily says, " Just give me some food. We don’t want to trouble you."

“No. It’s not troublesome." The woman doesn't mind. She glances at her stomach, "You are pregnant, and you can't be too tired. Just stay here."

Lily no longer refuses her, "Auntie, you are so kind. Thank you."

Lily’s words make the woman very happy. She pulls the quilt to cover Lily and gets up to leave.

As she walks, she gives Louis a glance with admiration and pity.

Louis frowns and looks at Lily when the woman closes the door. He notices that there are still tears in her eyes and his thin lips raise, "Miss Lily, you are good at acting."

“Mr. Louis, you can’t talk." Lily gestures at him, lowering her voice, "I told the woman that we are a couple, and we do a small business. You are a dumb."

“Why am I a dumb?" Louis twitches his lips, feeling confused.

“Of course it's for sympathy.” Lily waves and asks him to come over, "We live here now, and we will go out tomorrow to see the situation. By the way, I still don’t know what is worth a billion."

Louis takes a plastic bag from his trouser pocket. He opens layers of paper and what is kept inside is a dry plant, and it smells of a faint fragrant.

Lily points to the flower and looks at Louis in shock, "This one? A billion?"

She isn’t a fool, is she?

Louis nods and explains to her, "An ingredient extracted from this plant has the ability to regenerate cells and delay human aging."

“This is normal." Lily says, "Now the international medical team has developed a lot of medicines to delay the aging of the human body, but the problem is whether people can afford it."

International medicines can delay aging, but it cannot regenerate cells." Louis hooks his lips, " The lifespan of the cell is very short and non-renewable, but it can."

It can regenerate the cells in the body, with a success rate of 60%, and it can warm up the various organs in the body, which has a great effect on heart disease."

Lily is dumbfounded.

She doesn’t know physics, but she knows what Louis is saying. What is in his hand is like the elixir of life and can drive the whole world crazy.

“How could it be worthy of one billion?" Lily is holding the plant, and her voice is trembling, "It can delay aging. It is priceless!"

She asks Louis again, "But Mr. Louis, how could so few people know this baby?"

“Did not you just see it?" Louis lifts his chin and says lowly, "It only grows in this place; otherwise why should I bring you here?"

“Well." Lily pats her forehead. She is stupid.
