A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
Mo Qinghe did not react and continued to weave bamboo strips with his head down.
Chen Qiuxia, dressed in new clothes and with a gentle and charming hairstyle, stood in front of Mo Qinghe, carrying a small bamboo basket.
Seeing that he didn't respond, she assumed he hadn't heard her and asked with a gentle smile, "Brother Qinghe, are you hungry? I brought some food, you can fill your stomach first. Uncle Mo and the others shouldn't be back so soon."
There has been no response yet.
If it were any other girl, she would probably have left in embarrassment, but Chen Qiuxia was no ordinary girl.
She looked left and right and found Mo Dongcheng playing in the sand in a corner. Her eyes lit up, she stepped over to Mo Dongcheng and said the same thing to him!
Mo Dongcheng glanced at her sideways, then went back to playing by himself, ignoring her.
My mother said not to get close to the Chen family girl, or she would be sold off!
He doesn't want to be sold off!
Seeing that the children ignored her, Chen Qiuxia felt embarrassed and finally felt a little ashamed. She smiled awkwardly and said, "If you're not hungry, I'll take it back first."
No one replied to her.
Chen Qiuxia gritted her teeth secretly, but pretended to be calm as she left the Mo family home.
Hmph! What's there to be so arrogant about! If it weren't for your family's income, why would I have to lower myself to fawn over you? Once I get the secret manual, I won't even bother to look at you!
And then there's Mo Qinghe. Before, he had both legs intact, was handsome, and had some advantages, but she still looked down on his family! Now that his legs are crippled and he's widowed, who else but her would be willing to please him!
They're all ungrateful!
Su Nanxi had no idea that while she was still alive, someone was already plotting against her husband.
She went into the mountains early in the morning, picked a few bird's nests and a few red lingzhi mushrooms from the cliff, and also dug up a he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) plant to put in her space to see if she could grow it.
Remembering the people in the small cave, she went to check again. When she arrived, the cave was empty. There was no sign of human presence; they must have left long ago.
She sighed, "That's just how things are, coming and going."
Since she had plenty of time and no worries about food and drink, she simply started exploring the deep mountains, taking whatever she saw that seemed suitable and throwing it directly into her spatial storage.
While sitting idly by the slope, she took a moment of kindness and gave some spring water to a listless little deer. The deer kept her company while she admired the scenery for a while before running off.
Su Nanxi couldn't help but think that if she grew tired of the hustle and bustle of the world, finding a peach blossom garden to spend the rest of her life would be a kind of happiness!
As she was deep in thought, a person suddenly appeared beside her, carrying a child. He knelt down in front of her with a thud, startling her so much that she jumped up and grabbed a wooden stick to defend herself.
The newcomer, disheveled and filthy, placed the child beside him and kowtowed repeatedly to Su Nanxi, pleading, "Girl, please save my child! Please save him!"
The man's voice was hoarse, filled with grief and despair, as he kowtowed heavily.
Su Nanxi then took a closer look at the child. The child had his eyes closed, was motionless, and had a pale face. She didn't know what was wrong.
Most importantly, she's not a doctor! How could she possibly know anything about saving lives!
Brother, are you perhaps grasping at straws in your desperation?
Seeing that Su Nanxi remained unmoved, the man was filled with despair, tears streaming down his face, and he kowtowed even harder.
Su Nanxi: No, begging me won't help! I really don't know anything about medicine!
Seeing the man keep kowtowing, Su Nanxi was deeply moved. If a man hadn't been driven to desperation, what man would kowtow and kneel before someone?
She poked the man with the stick and gestured, but the man didn't understand and just stared blankly, "You, you can't speak?"
Isn't that obvious?
If you can speak, who would dare to point fingers at you!
The man didn't understand what Su Nanxi was trying to say, and only spoke his own words, "I'm sorry, I was rude! My son has been poisoned and is dying. I can't find an antidote. I don't want him to die. He's so young, he's a very obedient and good child. Girl, I beg you to save him! I'll do anything you ask, except for traitors!"
Alas! This man cried so bitterly that his tears ran dry and his heart broke; no one could bear to hear him cry.
He was unwilling to be a traitor, which shows he still had a strong sense of national righteousness.
But she was truly helpless; she knew nothing about medicine!
The man hurriedly said, "I just saw what you gave the deer to drink, and it became lively and energetic. What you have is something good!"
Oh! She forgot about that.
But she couldn't guarantee it would work; it might not be able to save him.
Seeing that Su Nanxi did not refuse, the man laughed and cried at the same time, wiping away his tears. "It is a great kindness of you to help me, young lady. Even if I cannot save him, I will not blame you in the slightest! If he cannot come back, that is his fate. I thank you in advance, young lady!"
After saying that, she carried the child to Su Nanxi.
Sigh! Saving one is the same as saving two, so let's save them.
The fact that this person could appear deep in the mountains, not far from her, yet she couldn't sense him at all, indicates that he is no ordinary person and possesses high martial arts skills. She must not push him too far, or she will have no chance of escape.
She figured she might as well try anything, even if it seemed hopeless, and prayed to Buddha for protection.
Fortunately, it worked in the end; the child slightly opened his eyes, but his joy lasted only three seconds before he spat out a mouthful of black blood and fainted again.
The man nearly broke down; his eyes went limp.
Su Nanxi was afraid he was going crazy, so she quickly poked him and pointed to the child's nose. The child was still breathing!
The man reached out tremblingly to check, and there was life! He touched his heart, and there was a heartbeat! The next second, he burst into tears.
Su Nanxi sat to one side and waited until the man stopped crying before handing him a bamboo tube, indicating that he should drink some water.
Don't let the child end up safe while you yourself get into trouble.
The man took it and said, "Thank you!"
Su Nanxi dug a small earthen stove on the spot, took a small ceramic pot, and stewed a pot of white rice porridge.
I cut down a bamboo stalk and made two small bowls. My technique isn't as good as Mo Qinghe's; they're quite rough, but you'll have to make do.
The man quickly took the porridge Su Nanxi handed him, his eyes welling up with tears again. "Thank you, young lady!"
Su Nanxi waved her hand. "We've come this far, a little food won't make a difference. We need to be full to have the strength to walk. This person hasn't eaten much for several days; he's probably just relying on his willpower to keep going."
The man drank without hesitation. His stomach was full, and when he looked at his child, his heart felt full again, and he had the motivation to live.
After the little boy woke up, the man fed him half a bowl of porridge, and he gradually regained his energy.
Su Nanxi left the bamboo tube jar behind, intending to leave, since there was nothing more for her to do.
Seeing Su Nanxi turn and leave, the man rushed forward, stood in front of her, and knelt down, startling Su Nanxi into backing away.
The child should be out of danger now; the detoxification process is no longer her concern.
The man solemnly bowed to Su Nanxi, saying, "We are deeply grateful for your help, young lady. We have no way to repay you. We are willing to acknowledge you as our master and obey your commands without any disloyalty!"
Su Nanxi jumped aside. She didn't save people out of any gratitude; she saved them entirely of her own free will.
The man was determined to follow his lead and insisted on making her the master, which gave her a headache.
Stubborn and inflexible.
"You... no, you admit it?"
