Four Lifetimes Dream

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

"Hey! Ah Yun, are you going up the mountain again?"

In a remote village at the northernmost tip of Qi State, a helpless yet earnest voice rang out in the forest. It sounded like the voice of a woman in her late 50s.

"Oh, little ancestor, you just woke up and your body is still weak, why did you go to that mountain again?"

The woman looked at the girl in front of her, her words full of concern.

"Did you know that there are often wild animals in the mountains? I finally woke up, what if something happens to me again?"

"Don't worry, Auntie. I know. I'm fine." The woman named "Ayun" smiled and responded.

Even though she was wearing a coarse linen dress, it still couldn't conceal the woman's beautiful face and the natural elegance that came with her.

"Oh, by the way, Auntie, I dug up some common herbs and some edible wild vegetables in the mountains."

As the woman spoke, she seemed to have remembered something. She put down the backpack that looked bigger than herself and took out the things inside one by one.

"I'm lucky today. I happened to encounter some live poultry."

After taking out the herbs and wild vegetables, at the bottom of the basket were a few dead pheasants and a few little rabbits that were still alive and kicking. It looked like they were all brought here at the same time!

"Ayun, you just woke up and you know nothing about that mountain. There are dangers everywhere on that mountain. Several hunters have been killed there before!"

The woman pulled the girl to sit on the worn wooden bench, and her expression of relief was mixed with worry.

"It's enough that you have this intention. In the future, you must never go to that mountain again!"

Their village is remote and sparsely populated, with only a few households and 20 to 30 people in total.

Therefore, few people know of their existence, let alone the imperial court being able to take care of them!

For this reason, their small village has been almost isolated from the outside world over the years, and the people here live a self-sufficient life.

Whatever you want or what you want to eat, you have to go to the mountains to find it, dig seeds, and then cultivate the land yourself. Some livestock are wild birds hunted from the mountains.

However, the hill closest to them, although rich in food, was extremely dangerous.

In the past few years, some people would go there with the mentality of giving it a try, but in the end they never came back!

Since then, people in the village no longer dared to go to that mountain, and they built a solid fence at the foot of the mountain to prevent wild animals from hurting people!

They didn’t dare to climb up the nearby hills, so they could only go to farther mountains to look for food!

In order to survive, even if there is not as much food in another remote mountain forest, they will still get up early and leave home late to go into the mountains to look for food.

Even though they harvested very little throughout the day or even over several days, the whole family would not starve to death. This was very good for people like them who survived in the "wild"!

"Don't worry, Auntie. I know some martial arts, so I'll be fine."

With a smile on her face, as if to prove that she was really fine, the woman stood up and turned around in front of the woman.

"You!" The woman looked at the girl's playful appearance with a loving smile on her face. She stretched out her hand and gently patted the dust off the girl's body.

"Even if you know martial arts, it's too dangerous. From now on, you are not allowed to go there again!"

"Aunt, I know!" The woman held the woman's weathered hand, shook it, and looked like she was admitting her mistake.

"I won't go there anymore, so don't worry, Auntie!"

The woman patted the girl's hand, her words and smiles full of love:

"It's good that you can remember this. If I find out that you sneak into that mountain again, I will not forgive you!"

As she spoke, the woman pinched the girl's slender, white, jade-like fingers.

"Your hands show that you are destined to be rich. How can you do such rough work?"

But there were several scratches on that delicate hand, which seemed out of place compared to the porcelain-white skin, and even looked very glaring!

"But... Aunt, I met a wild boar in the mountains that was unlucky and hit a tree by itself. I dragged it down. It's not far from the village entrance. I may need to trouble you to ask other uncles and aunts for help..."

The woman looked at the expression on the woman's face, and she actually felt a little lacking in confidence at the end, and her voice became lower and lower.

"Wild boar?!"

As expected, the woman's face showed a look of shock, followed by disbelief.

"It crashed itself to death?!"

"... Well, it doesn't look very smart..." The woman scratched her head awkwardly, then said with a firm look.

"Aunt, don't worry, I definitely didn't lie to you. It is indeed a wild boar. Please ask other uncles and aunts to help. I may not be able to handle it!"

"Is it big?" The woman still looked skeptical. How big could a wild boar be that even a little girl like her could drag down by herself?

Every household is busy nowadays, so you can’t bother others with such a small matter!

"It should be a big one. Auntie, please come with me to take a look and you'll know!" The girl said and pulled the woman out.

That thing... should be considered big!

Although the woman was skeptical, she still followed the girl to take a look.

When she and the woman arrived at the village entrance and saw the wild boar lying not far away, the suspicion on their faces gradually turned into shock!

"Ah...Ayun, this...is this the wild...wild boar you mentioned?!"

Looking at the wild boar lying motionless on the ground, it seemed that it probably weighed more than 400 to 500 kilograms!

This girl calls this should be... big?!

Is this just big?

This is very big!

"Yeah!" Although she was a little puzzled by the woman's shock, she still nodded seriously.

Auntie’s expression…does she think the wild boar is not big enough?

"It...really crashed itself to death?!"

After a long time, the woman found her voice again and confirmed it again in disbelief!

How can you kill such a big wild boar so easily?

And he was killed by himself, which is even more impossible!

Wild boars living in the deep mountains and forests are very smart. How could they be so stupid as to hit themselves to death in an instant?

"Uh-huh!"

The woman was quite confident this time. She pointed at the wild boar's head with a firm and confident look.

"If you don't believe me, look, there's a big bump on its head! I just went over and saw it ramming into a tree like crazy. I couldn't wrap my arms around the tree, and it knocked the tree down in one go, and then it died!"

"..." The woman followed the girl's words and took a look at the wild boar's head. There was indeed a large blood-filled lump on it!

After a while, the woman took a deep breath and slowly accepted the fact that this 400-500-kg wild boar had killed itself:

"Ayun, please wait here for a while. I'll go find someone to help!" After saying that, the woman turned around and went into the village to find someone.

Forget it, Ayun is definitely not an ordinary person. She doesn’t want to say it, and I can’t ask about it.

A year ago, Ayun came to them somehow. When they saw her then, her body was covered with scars and blood, and her breath was weak. There was almost no possibility of her survival!

But it is a life after all. Since she has come to them, it can be considered a fate.

Even if she only had half a breath left, they couldn't just throw her out to fend for herself.

Therefore, after discussion among the whole village, they all agreed to keep her. It was just an extra set of bowls and chopsticks, nothing to worry about.

But she was in a coma for a whole year and had no use for any dishes or chopsticks!

Just when they all thought she would never wake up again, a month ago, she miraculously woke up!

When she just woke up, she didn't talk much. When they asked her name, she just said "Yun".

So, from then on, they called her "Ayun".

After resting for about half a month, Ayun's physical condition gradually improved, his mental state became better and better, and he talked a lot more!

In recent days, she has slowly recovered, but the girl doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

It’s just that she can’t sit still every day and always likes to run to the mountains!

Even though they emphasized to her that the mountain was dangerous and that she couldn't go there, she still liked to run up there.

Fortunately, she was able to come back safely every time!

During this period, every time Ayun went out, he would bring back a variety of food. If there was less, he would keep some for the woman.

If she brought back a lot of things, she would distribute them to every household in the village one by one!

From the time Ayun woke up until now, everyone in the village, regardless of gender, age or status, has received her help!

Gradually, everyone in their village began to treat her as one of their own!

As for who she is, no one knows!

She didn't want to say it, so they called her "Ayun".

After all, they all watched her fall into a coma for a year. As long as she didn't leave, they would treat her as their own daughter.

As time went by, no one asked her about her past anymore.
