Traveling through the ancient times

During these two days, Jiang Ruixue and others got along very well with the Nian family. The groom and Yanshu helped Nian chop firewood and fetch water, while Mingyue helped Luo with washing clothes and cooking.

Lu Mingcheng has become friends with Nian Nian. Lu Mingcheng led out the horse pulling the carriage and put Nian Nian on the horse's back to teach him how to ride. Nian Nian was both scared and excited sitting on the horse's back.

Happy times always pass quickly!

Two days later, Nianchuhua was going to set off back to Qunan with Jiang Ruixue and others. Luo helped Nianchuhua pack her luggage. Niannian knew that her sister was leaving again, so she pouted, held Nianchuhua's sleeve with her little hand and refused to let go, looking like she was about to cry.

While packing, Luo said, "You are alone over there, take care of yourself, don't try to be brave, you are still young, focus on your studies, don't rush into business,

Don't worry about your family. Don't send money home anymore. Your father and I can earn money at home. Just keep it for yourself."

"Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of myself. If there is anything I can't solve by myself, I will need Ruixue and the others' help. I know what I'm doing, so don't worry." Nian Chuhua comforted Luo.

Mrs. Luo knew that her daughter was capable and had her own ideas, so she didn't say much.

"Sister, I will miss you every year..." The last time her sister left at the beginning of the year, Nian Nian thought that her sister would come back in ten days or half a month at most, but she was gone for half a year. This time, she didn't know how long it would take before they would see each other again.

Niannian looked like she was about to cry, which made Nianchuhua feel very distressed.

"Be good, listen to your parents at home and study hard. In two years, I will take you and your parents to Qunan, okay?"

"Okay, I will be good and practice writing every day."

Chushulhua comforted Nian Nian with a few words, and the little guy stopped crying.

After packing everything, they set off. Jiang Ruixue's luggage had been prepared long ago, and she told the driver to meet at the intersection outside the city today. Once the two sides met, they would head straight to Qunan.

Returning to the place where she had stayed for several months, Jiang Ruixue sent the New Year painting home and went back to the Jiang Mansion.

After being away from home for more than half a month, a layer of dust accumulated everywhere in the house. When she finished cleaning up the house inside and out at the beginning of the year, it was already dark. She was exhausted after cleaning such a large yard by herself.

I rested on the rattan chair for a while, cooked some noodles to satisfy my hunger, and then lay down on the bed to rest. I had been traveling for several days, and although I stayed in an inn at night, it was still not as comfortable as home.

Chushuhua took care of her newly bought shop during the few days before the academy opened. She hadn't decided what kind of business to start yet, and she didn't have the time to manage the shop. It would be a waste to leave it empty, so she thought about renting it out first and running it herself when she had the time and manpower.

On this day, as usual, I walked around the street, bought some food and was on my way home.

Suddenly, a dirty little girl ran out from the alley next to her, hugged Chu Nian Hua's legs, and cried and begged her, "Sister, please be kind and save my mother. My mother is dying. Please save her..."

Chushulhua was shocked by the sudden change. Looking at the little girl who was crying and asking for help, she couldn't help asking, "Little sister, what happened to your mother?"

"My mother is seriously ill, but we have no money to buy medicine. My mother has fainted now. Sister, please save my mother. I am willing to work like a slave for you to repay you." The little girl cried out of breath and kowtowed to Nian Chuhua, hoping that Nian Chuhua could save her mother.

Nianchuhua felt a little reluctant, "Little sister, where is your mother?"

"She's in the alley in front, sister, can you save her?" The little girl's tearful eyes were full of hope.

"Take me to see your mother first." Nian Chuhua said to the little girl.

I thought this shouldn’t be a trap. I had seen many cases online where people tried to help others but ended up being cheated. I was a little scared at the beginning of the year.

But seeing the little girl crying so sadly, she was afraid that her mother was really seriously ill. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. She didn't really believe in ghosts and gods before, but after experiencing their soul traveling through time, nothing is impossible. She just regarded it as a blessing.

At the beginning of the year, Hua followed the little girl into the depths of the alley and saw a woman lying on straw, barely breathing, in a makeshift shack.

Nian Chuhua frowned and walked closer to observe the woman's condition. She looked pale, had chapped lips, and her clothes were torn. There were several scars on her body, some of which had already scabbed over, and some of the larger ones had turned into pus because they were not treated in time.

Although Nianchuhua studied medicine, there were no instruments or medicines here, so she couldn't clean and treat the woman. Without further ado, Nianchuhua asked the little girl to feed some water to her mother while she went out to ask a doctor to come and treat the woman.

Professional matters should be done by professionals. The little girl kept bowing and thanking him, and then followed Chushul’s instructions and got some water for her mother to drink.

Soon, Chushulhua brought a doctor over to take the woman's pulse, clean the wound and apply medicine.

Finally, the doctor said that the woman was so weak because she was extremely angry and had a rage attack on her body, and the wounds on her body were not treated in time. After applying medicine on the wounds, they were no longer a big deal. The doctor told the woman to relax and she would recover after taking a few doses of medicine.

Nianchuhua paid the money and asked the little girl to follow the doctor to the clinic to get medicine. Nianchuhua and the woman were the only ones left in the shed.

The woman had woken up by now. Nian Chuhua fed her some porridge that he had bought on the way back. After she ate some, the woman regained some strength. She lay weakly on the ground, crying and thanking Nian Chuhua.

Nian Chuhua comforted her, and the woman also told Nian Chuhua about their recent experiences.

The woman's surname is Chen and her husband's surname is Li. They are farmers in a small village under Lu County. The little girl is her daughter, Li Huahua. She is ten years old this year, but due to long-term malnutrition, she looks like seven or eight years old.

The woman's husband was a gambler. Whenever he had money, he would go gambling. He even borrowed money from loan sharks. When the debts came due and he couldn't pay them back, he was severely beaten by the thugs in the casino.

Her husband was seriously injured and had no money to treat his injuries. Within a few days, his wounds became infected and he died, leaving them an orphan and a widow.

But the casino people still refused to let them go and forced them to pay back the money. If they couldn't pay, they would sell her daughter to pay off the debt. Chen naturally refused. In order to stop them from taking her daughter away, Chen was beaten all over.

How could her daughter have a good ending if she fell into the hands of those people? Anyway, their house was shabby and empty, and there was nothing to be nostalgic about. Her daughter was her life. After that day, Chen took her daughter and left the village. Even if she took her daughter to beg, it was better than being taken away and sold by those people.

Chen's mother and daughter traveled to Qunan and found this small shack. The dry food they brought with them was long gone, and they had no place to stay. She was still injured, and Chen could not hold on any longer and fell down.
