When she woke up again, Su Qian was lying by a stream. She was still wearing the familiar Hanfu, and there was no blood stain on her body. She stretched out her right hand and gently touched the place where she was injured before.

Huh? The wound has healed? Or, or maybe she wasn't injured at all? If she was injured, how did she come back to life?

Su Qian was almost unable to breathe due to the pressure of questions. After a while, Su Qian resolutely gave up thinking.

No matter why, as long as she is alive, being alive is the most important thing. She still has to go back to the modern era.

Su Qian looked around. This place seemed like a poor and backward village. The surrounding tree trunks showed traces of being chopped, and some branches lay in a mess on the ground.

Su Qian continued to walk forward. A disgusting stench of corpse hit her in the face. The smell was pervasive. She suppressed her nausea, covered her mouth and nose and continued to move forward.

Gradually, there were more and more corpses and body parts on the road. Some had already rotted, while some had not yet rotted. They were all covered with flies.

The road was littered with corpses of people and animals. There was no place to step. Su Qian lost his balance and accidentally stepped on an unknown organ...

The remains of the organ looked a bit like a stomach. When she kicked it, a pool of foul-smelling juice splashed out, and some of it poured onto the surface of her shoes, making Su Qian so disgusted that she began to dry heave.

What kind of luck is this? First, I was inexplicably transported to this ancient time, then I was shot to death by my future partner with an arrow through the heart, and then I was resurrected in this godforsaken place.

It’s really hard to evaluate this luck.

Su Qian didn't know how long she had walked on this road filled with corpses and flies. When she finally saw the crowd, she was exhausted.

Su Qian quickly walked towards the crowd, but they stared at her warily, "Auntie, can you give me a drink of water?"

The old lady exchanged glances with the man next to her. The man looked at Su Qian for a long time before nodding at the old lady.

One of the so-called Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues in ancient times is that the husband is the bond of the wife. The wife must absolutely obey her husband. This is a special moral relationship between husband and wife in feudal society.

This is especially true in times of war like today, where the husband is the breadwinner of the family and the wife must obey him.

Only after the man nodded did the old lady dare to give Su Qian water to drink.

The old lady handed Su Qian a worn-out ceramic bowl. Su Qian took it and saw that the water in the bowl was murky.

Su Qian raised her eyes and looked at them in confusion: "This water..."

Can I drink it?

The old lady kindly explained to Su Qian, "There are wars everywhere right now, so it's good that there are no body parts in the water. This water was fetched by my husband after he walked five kilometers upstream to the stream, boiled it, and then let it cool down."

"Although it still looks a little turbid, it won't cause you to get sick after eating it."

Only then did Su Qian feel at ease to drink it. After drinking two bowls of water, she finally no longer felt dry in the mouth.

"Auntie, I want to ask, what is the current war situation?"

The old lady sighed, "Ever since that damn witch was shot dead by General Lu Huan two months ago, the war has begun. The northern army has been unstoppable and has marched southward. Now, they have captured twelve cities in our Nanchang Kingdom."

Two months ago? Has it been that long?

In addition, Yan Xuanye had actually captured twelve cities of Nanchang State, which undoubtedly added tremendous difficulty to her mission.

But why is she a witch? He, Lu Huan, is the evildoer, who actually spread rumors about her.

Su Qian asked tentatively: "Since that woman is a demon, how could she be easily shot dead by General Lu Huan...?"

"I heard that after the witch died, she turned into golden light and flew away, leaving not a single hair behind."

The old lady was screaming: "If this isn't a witch, then what is it?"

The old man also spoke indignantly: "It's all because of this damn witch that the two countries started a rebellion. The North was fine for the past few decades, but it was around the time when this witch appeared that the North started to attack our Nanchang Kingdom."

Su Qian remained silent, which made them suspicious. The old lady turned around and asked Su Qian: "Oh, by the way, girl, where are you from? Why don't you curse that witch and the northern barbarians?"

Su Qian pointed at the Hanfu she was wearing and said, "Of course I am from Nanchang. Look at my clothes and my appearance. I can't be a girl from the north."

The old man asked: "Then why don't you curse those traitors?"

Su Qian had no choice but to make up a story: "My family motto... does not allow swearing."

The old lady stared at her clothes in a daze: "Yes, her clothes and jewelry show that she is from a wealthy family. Then why did you end up here?"

"The war was raging, and my grandmother fell ill. My mother was very worried, so I went with my parents to visit her. We ran into the war on the way here, and in the haste to escape, I accidentally lost my family."

The old lady sighed: "Yes, the war has displaced so many families."

Su Qian took off the silver ring on her left ring finger and said, "Madam, in this chaotic world, it is difficult for a woman to protect herself. I wonder if I can... use this silver ring to exchange clothes with you."

The old lady and the old man both had a look of joy in their eyes. "I do have clothes, but the clothes of an old woman like me are either old or torn. I wonder if you are willing to wear them."

"Auntie, do you have any clothes for young men?"

The old lady was a little confused: "Young man? Yes, I have one, but my youngest son has been called up to join the army. I wonder what you want the young man's clothes for?"

Su Qian explained to her, "It's not safe to be a woman. I want to find a set of young men's clothes to wear, disguise myself as a man, and then paint my face darker. I think it will be much safer this way."

The old lady suddenly realized: "So that's how it is? Yes, yes, just follow me."

The old lady took Su Qian to her youngest son's room, dug out a set of men's clothing from the bottom of the closet, handed it to Su Qian, and said, "I made this set with fabrics when I was free. Originally, this was a new set of clothes I made for my youngest son, and I wanted to give it to him after he returned from the war."

"Now, I'll give it to you to wear. You are a little girl, all alone outside, and you are very pretty. You don't know how much trouble this woman's identity will cause. Fortunately, you are alert and know how to hide your identity."

"Please change your clothes first. I'll stay outside the door for you." After saying this, the old lady went out and closed the door for Su Qian.

Su Qian clutched the clothes in her hands, her eyes gradually becoming moist. Speaking of which, this old lady was the only person who had shown kindness to Su Qian since he came to this strange world.

Only? Kindness? For some reason, Su Qian suddenly remembered Yan Xuanye before her death. His hands were shaking so badly at that time. It was unknown whether he was because of her "goddess identity" or because of other reasons.

She had no idea how he was doing now. Although she was a little curious, Su Qian knew very well that what was more important at the moment was to find Lu Huan, then find a way to gain his trust and work with him to quell the war.

We can't let this war continue.

The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, the people were displaced, and she was unable to return to the modern era.

All conditions are important.

After changing her clothes, Su Qian packed up her previous clothes and accessories and hid them in the bag she was carrying. Then she said goodbye to the old man and the old woman and set out alone to look for Lu Huan.
