I played as an assistant in ancient times

May of the fourth year of Yuande in the Great Zhou Dynasty

On the small road in the dim light of the sky, two thin figures walked quickly forward. The one on the left stopped at the intersection and extinguished the torch, saying to the person next to him: "Shen Xiaoye, shout a few times ahead.

Strange, no one from Wuli Village went to the county town today?"

"Yes, sir." Shen Xiaoye, who was about twelve years old and dressed in short men's clothing, put his hands on his mouth and shouted towards the fork in the road to the left: "Are the young and old men from Wuli Village here? We are from Jiuli Village."

"Yes, yes, is that my cousin Changsui and Xiaoye?" The voice of a young man came closer and closer from the fork in the road.

Shen Xiaoye stared at the boy who was approaching, "Brother Erniu? Is there anyone else from your village going into the city today?"

"Yes, last night more than a dozen large trucks came to the Lin family's old house, and we hired many people from the village to clean it up, and they were busy until the end of the first hour.

They said they would have to put it back together at daybreak, so the clan leader told everyone to lend a hand. " Lin Erniu finished speaking while panting, bending over and pressing his hands on his knees to even out his breath.

After safely extinguishing the torch, Shen Changsui tugged at the backpack and said thoughtfully, "I heard that the old house they renovated a few years ago, isn't there always someone cleaning it?"

“Yes, but my mother came back and said that several of the people who got off the bus were sick.

The clan leader sent someone to Songfu Village to invite Doctor Ge to see the patient. "Lin Erniu approached Shen Changsui and whispered, "Uncle, the clan leader's Yun Ge saw that the eldest master of the Lin family was carried into the room lying on the bed."

"Brother Erniu, you have to help today too, right?" Shen Xiaoye raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, stopping him from talking, while also giving a wink to his uncle Shen Changsui.

Shen Changsui quickly glanced around and found no one. He then said in a deep voice, "Erniu, don't mention this anymore. Go ahead and do your work. It doesn't matter if Xiaoye and I walk slowly."

Everyone in Linghe County knew that the eldest master of the Lin family in Wuli Village was a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. According to the legend in the Lin clan, he was teaching the princes and might be promoted at any time.

The news of his low-key return to his hometown must not have spread yet, so ordinary people like them should not be curious.

Lin Erniu thought of his father's words, and quickly covered his mouth and said, "But my father told me to accompany you to give you courage.

Besides, we made an appointment to go shopping in the county town the day before yesterday, and my father agreed. "He didn't want to. It was not easy to go to the city after the summer harvest, and he didn't want to stay at home to look after his two nephews and nieces.

Shen Changsui and Shen Xiaoye looked at each other and laughed, "It's not like it was decades ago when no one in the counties near the capital dared to rob people on the road.

Let's go to the city and sell the things. I'll treat you to Chen's meat pie."

As he said that, he motioned for the two to go together. Lin Erniu chuckled, "There are rumors in the village that people who became bandits in the early years were seen outside.

Although he is old, who knows if he has changed." After saying this, he extended his hand and said with a tactful look: "Xiao Ye, I will carry it for you."

"No, just a few pounds of mulberries." Shen Xiaoye declined. She had good physical strength and her grandfather often trained her like a boy last year. For her, carrying more than ten pounds would not be a problem, let alone more than ten pounds.

A real relative, Lin Erniu knew that she dressed as a man for the convenience of going out, and seeing that she really didn't want to be replaced, he gave up.

The three of them walked and talked along the country dirt road, and after a while they saw a grove of trees swaying in the distance beside the official road. The sky was brighter at this time, and pedestrians and vehicles heading towards the county town could be vaguely seen on the road.

"It would be great if we could have an ox cart." Lin Erniu looked into the distance with envy. His old cow had been sold earlier to pay for his grandparents' medical treatment, but in the end the cow was not kept.

Later, I built a house for my eldest brother, who got married and had children. I have a car, but I don’t know when I will have a cow again.

Shen Xiaoye smiled and said, "Why isn't it a carriage?"

"Can't farm, delicate." Lin Erniu's thoughts were simple. He touched Shen Changsui with his elbow and said, "Uncle, what do you think?"

"Shh!" Shen Changsui shushed him and stared at the approaching small woods.

Shen Xiaoye and the other two couldn't help but slow down their pace along with him and looked over there.

In the rustling breeze, besides the sound of leaves swaying, there seemed to be intermittent groaning sounds.

Unfortunately, my vision was blocked and I couldn't see clearly.

When they got closer, Lin Erniu stretched his head to take a closer look, and saw a shadowy white figure moving in the woods. He was so scared that he grabbed the two people on his left and right and asked, "Is there another ghost?"

"A fallen horse... and there's a person next to it, probably injured." Shen Xiaoye had good eyesight and saw clearly that the person lying on the horse's belly moved on the ground.

Lin Erniu said quickly: "Let's go and rescue him."

But his nephew and uncle on both sides grabbed him as he took a step forward and said, "Don't move."

"But..." Lin Erniu was puzzled.

Shen Xiaoye whispered softly: "Men, women, young and old on the roadside, it is best not to pick up things randomly.

If you find a beautiful woman and she promises to marry you, will she marry you or my fourth uncle?"

Of course, it is also possible that she could find someone older who would make you spend all your money on her. For example, in her previous life, when she and her uncle were on holiday during the Chinese New Year, she once saved a passerby, but the passerby's children pestered her for medical expenses.

Fortunately, the incident was recorded and there were surveillance cameras on the road, so the nephew and uncle were not trapped.

Alas, God have mercy on me. After this incident, my uncle took me on a trip to relax, but we encountered an earthquake halfway.

I don’t know whether the child that the uncle rescued from the overturned bus was finally saved. I hope that the person who threw himself on himself to block the rocks is safe.

The past is gone, and we still need to work hard in the present. They did not have their own halo to show the so-called kingly spirit, but instead encountered drought and bandit attacks and robberies as soon as they arrived.

After much difficulty in driving away the bandits, their home was destroyed and their parents were missing. The local drought had not eased and an epidemic had occurred. The three children's illnesses recurred, so their grandfather immediately decided to send the whole family to the provincial capital to seek medical treatment.

So, she dragged her sick body to the north with her family, and then returned to her grandfather's hometown for some reason. It has been two years since then.

Can't think...

"No, what if it's a boy?" Lin Erniu asked with a slightly red face.

Shen Xiaoye asked back: "Do you want to marry a man and bring him home?"

"I didn't do that. I, I act uprightly and live a clean life." Lin Erniu quickly explained.

"The key is that other people don't know. Fourth uncle, I'll go to the official road to call people over." Seeing that Erniu was completely messed up, Shen Xiaoye left him behind and was about to leave.

But Shen Changsui stopped her and said, "Let's go together."

Although Xiao Ye did not rush to save people like he did in his previous life, he was still worried about letting her go to Guandao alone for help. As for Erniu from his cousin's family, he was even more worried.

So, the three of them still acted in sync, running towards the official road, waving and calling for help.

Fortunately, the new dynasty is becoming more prosperous, the local customs are improving, and there are many enthusiastic people.

Soon, more than ten people gathered with a horse-drawn carriage and an ox-drawn cart.

The family with the carriage not only sent someone on a donkey to rush into the city to report to the authorities, but also carried a medicine box. He was a doctor.

Shen Xiaoye and Lin Erniu were blocked from the crowd by their uncle. They could only hear people saying that the horse was exhausted to death and its owner was injured.

However, the man's wounds seemed to have been bandaged well by themselves, so he did not bleed to death.

"Xiao Ye, you see that man doesn't seem to be very old." Lin Erniu squeezed forward and tilted his head to take a look.

Shen Xiaoye also wanted to take a look, but was glanced at by his uncle. He pretended to be as still as a mountain and pulled Erniu back.

She heard the doctor asking everyone to keep quiet, and a voice came out from inside after a while: "The bones are fine, the left arm is dislocated, but there is too much blood loss in the head, and there are many abrasions on the skin.

Surprisingly..." He paused for a moment and then said, "After the bandage is done, you need to go to the clinic as soon as possible."

After a long time, when the people were lifted onto the carriage and the horses were lifted onto the ox cart, a group of people followed them to the county town. Halfway through the journey, they were met by yamen runners. Shen Changsui took the two children and walked slowly, soon putting some distance between them.
