Chapter 707 River God 14

When Ning Qiulan woke up again, she felt that the bed beneath her was hard and there was some noise outside.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that she was lying on the ground. There were several other people in the room: her parents, her eldest brother and sister-in-law, her second brother and sister-in-law, and several nephews and nieces.

Apart from the married Daya, Sanya, and Erya, the entire Ning family was present.

This was something Ning Yan had instructed the River God to do in advance. Apart from her three granddaughters, there wasn't a single good person in the Ning family. Even her second uncle's youngest son, who was only five or six years old, would call his three older sisters "worthless trash" and "cheap bastards." So, all of these people were sent over.

The room was dilapidated and dark, without even a bed. Ning Qiulan was terrified. She cried out in panic, "Father, Mother, wake up, wake up!"

Her shout woke up not only the people inside the house, but also those outside.

"Awake? If you're awake, get out there and get to work right now. If you dare to dawdle any longer, you can skip breakfast."

Once Grandma Ning realized her predicament, she immediately started yelling, "What's going on? Why are we sleeping on the floor? Who are those people outside? What's going on?"

With a bang, the door was kicked open, and a burly, dark-faced man walked in, carrying a whip stained with dark dirt. Behind him were two other men with equally unfriendly expressions.

"Get up, get up, get up! You've been sleeping for a whole day and night. Hurry up and line up for food. After you eat, get back to work right away."

"I spent a fortune to buy you all; if you dare slack off, I'll beat you to a pulp."

"Buy? We're all ordinary people, who would dare to buy or sell?"

"I'm telling you, you'd better let me go right now, or you'll all be in big trouble when I get out!"

The dark-faced man was so angry he laughed. The next second, he raised his whip and it landed on the old woman with a "crack".

Sister-in-law Ning was so frightened that she turned around and hid in her husband's arms. The others also dodged away. No one stepped forward to help. Old Mrs. Ning was whipped hard, and the end of the whip also swept over Old Mr. Ning, who was next to her.

The two screamed in pain, but it was no use.

The dark-faced man couldn't see their pain at all. He continued to whip them, causing everyone in the room to keep their distance from Old Lady Ning. "I'll see if you dare to mess with me again! Go ahead and mess with me again!"

"Ah~ no, stop hitting me! I'll get back to work, please stop hitting me!" The old lady's face contorted in pain as she begged for mercy.

The dark-faced man lashed her seventeen or eighteen times before stopping, because Old Lady Ning had fainted.

"Go out and get your food and work right now, or you'll end up like this old hag!"

The Ning family members ran out like madmen, and no one gave Old Mrs. Ning a second glance.

Including Ning Qiulan.

Nobody's stupid, and nobody wants to get beaten up for no reason. While queuing for food, Ning Ersao had a long face and cried, "What on earth happened? How did we get sold out after just one night's sleep?"

She had just looked around and realized that they were in a remote mountain area. The people queuing in front of them were all dressed in tattered clothes, and there were very few women. It was clear that this was not a good place.

Ning Qiulan bit her lip and dared not utter a sound. She guessed that only one person could have the ability to sell her family out silently.

Why, why?

In her previous life, she did something wrong and wronged him, but in this life, she did nothing wrong, so why did he sell her whole family?

This question was destined to remain unanswered, and she didn't dare tell her family. If she did, they would know that they were implicated because of her, and all their anger would be directed at her, and she wouldn't have a good life.

For breakfast, each person gets a bowl of porridge, two steamed buns, and a chopstick of pickled vegetables.

After they finished eating, they were all rushed to the fields to clear land. Ning Qiulan had never been to the fields before, and after working for only a short while, she developed large blisters on her hands, but she dared not slack off.

Because the supervisor was always lurking behind their family, they would be whipped if they worked even a little too slowly; even the second sister-in-law was whipped twice.

She could only grit her teeth and endure the scorching sun, until finally she couldn't even shed a tear anymore.

The Ning family kept cursing in their hearts, but they didn't even know who they were cursing. The two younger grandsons were too tired and soon started to cry.

But she had only cried twice when her subordinates slowed down, and the overseer's whip lashed out.

"Cry, cry, cry! If you keep crying, you won't get lunch." The two children from my second uncle's family immediately shut up, not daring to stop what they were doing, no matter how much it hurt.

The second uncle and aunt were barely able to protect themselves, and they didn't dare to utter a sound even when their own son was beaten. They could only keep complaining in their hearts about why their lives had become so miserable.

county seat.

He Wei was watching the servants pack their luggage.

The couple was getting ready to go out for a trip.

The reason was that Ning Yan learned that he knew medicine.

She's so clever; she immediately realized that He Wei must have accumulated great merit by practicing medicine and saving lives to be named the River God.

Since they're idle anyway, why don't they go out and continue practicing medicine? The more merit they accumulate, the more faith power they'll receive, which will definitely benefit him.

"Yanyan, we're newlyweds, are you really going to go out and practice medicine?"

He Wei was extremely unwilling to accept his wife's decision.

Shouldn't newlyweds be spending all their time together? Why are they practicing medicine and doing free clinics?

Even if what the lady said is right, she only has a few decades left to live, and he wants to spend this life with her.

Ning Yan: No, you don't want to.

"What medical practice? We're just traveling. We'll provide free medical care to the locals after we've had our fun. What's the point of staying home all day when the scenery is so beautiful?"

The Wei River is the longest river in the country, flowing from north to south and traversing the entire nation.

He Wei is the god of this river, so Ning Yan decided to follow the river southwards to spend the winter there.

He Wei's eyes lit up; it seemed like going on a trip was a really good decision.

After packing their belongings that day, the two set off the next day with a few servants.

...

They were really having fun, and the free clinic was also a genuine free clinic.

Wherever they went, the couple would stay for a few days, then set up tables and chairs in the village and begin treating patients.

At first, Ning Yan just watched from the sidelines, but gradually, she was able to help out in some small ways.

The saying "learning has no end" is true. Even though she was the most powerful alchemist in the cultivation world and had studied traditional Chinese medicine and even Western medicine in modern society, she could still learn a lot from He Wei.

Over time, she became able to diagnose and treat illnesses.

He Wei's eyes sparkled every time he looked at her.

Yan Yan's learning ability is really too strong. She couldn't even recognize characters before, but in just over three years, she can not only read poems and books fluently, but also write characters and solve problems.

You have to understand that just learning to read and write for three years isn't enough to be considered a good student, let alone learning to take a pulse.

Back when he first met her, he was very wary, thinking that she was after his money like Ning Qiulan.

However, that is not the case.
