Song Tantian transmigrated to ancient times, becoming a five-and-a-half-year-old little sprout. In a chaotic, famine-stricken world, surrounded by danger, she immediately faced the immense change o...
"Don't say that, do you think I'm a heartless person?" Ye Moxun calmly followed him into the room, and even locked the door behind him. "Let me see if you applied the ointment today?"
"I've applied the ointment, and it doesn't hurt as much as yesterday. Do you see if it's gone down a bit?" Song Tantan brought her face close to his, looking pitiful. "It still hurts quite a bit."
"I'll blow on it for you." He actually blew on it for her, but after doing so, he felt a little silly. Blowing on a child is something you do to soothe a child; it doesn't work, it's just a placebo effect.
"If you breathe on it again, it will feel cool and won't hurt as much," Song Tantan said earnestly.
So he blew on it again until she said it was okay before he stopped.
"I feel much better. Come here, I'll get you something to eat." Song Tantan took his hand and led him to the table to sit down. She took out a carton of pure milk, a large meat bun, and half a roast duck from her spatial storage.
"The pharmacy counter has a lot of ginseng, lingzhi, and calcium tablets. Now that we've settled down, I'll help you take care of your health and make sure you're as healthy as everyone else, able to run around and be perfectly fine," Song Tantan confidently assured him.
"Before I fled here, I ate a lot of supplements, but they didn't have much effect. I didn't have much hope anymore. I just hope I can get better as I grow up." Ye Moxun was quite Zen and didn't complain about his fate.
"Have you ever eaten abalone, bear paw, shark fin, bird's nest, or camel hump?" Song Tantan joked.
"I've eaten bird's nest, but where else can you get such a thing so easily? I'm not a prince. Even a prince in this world probably wouldn't be able to eat these things. You really dare to dream." Ye Moxun sneered.
After bickering for a while, Song Tantan became serious. "These supplements and medicines are useless. We can try food therapy. Medicinal cuisine is the best way to regulate the body. It's not only delicious but also won't harm your health. There are so many things to eat in supermarkets now. Let's do some research."
She took out a few books about dietary therapy from the supermarket's book section. She was so glad that her scumbag father left her a supermarket that was big enough to sell books and stationery, which were really useful.
Ye Moxun did not object. Seeing how much she cared, he was touched. Song Tantan was just like her aunt, both of them were stubborn but soft-hearted.
"Knock knock." Song Zhuiyan knocked on the door a few times. "Tantan, open the door, I have something to say to A-Xun."
Song Tan ran to open the door, "Auntie, what's up?"
"Ah Xun, do you want to take a few of those pigs back to raise?" Although they all knew that the wild boars were caught by Song Tantan, they still had to make an appearance; their family couldn't keep them all to themselves.
“Auntie, my uncle doesn’t know how to raise pigs, so you should raise them. We don’t want them.” Ye Moxun had been calling her Auntie since that day, ignoring Song Tantan’s objections.
The other children now call her Miss Song, so as not to confuse her generation with Song Tantan.
Song Tantan had gotten used to him calling her "Auntie" and no longer jumped up and down when she heard it at first. At most, she would glare at him. This time, she didn't glare at him either, and she even came up with an idea. "How about this, you can come with me to cut pig feed from now on, and when the piglets are grown up, I'll give you one."
“Ah Xun is not in good health, how can he go to cut pig feed? And it’s too much of a rip-off to give him just one pig!” Song Zhuiyan said with amusement.
"Because of his poor health, he definitely won't be able to gather much pig feed. At most, he can feed one pig, and it might even be a malnourished one. It's already quite generous of us to give him one pig." Song Tantan said matter-of-factly.
"Okay, I think this is a good idea. My body does need exercise. I can't do heavy work, but I can still cut pig feed." Ye Moxun quickly agreed. He didn't want to stay at home all day. He wanted to go out and find something to do so that the days would pass faster.
So once the swelling on Song Tantan's face subsided and she became fair and beautiful again, Ye Moxun would carry a basket on his back and go with her to gather pig feed every day.
That day, they had just finished gathering pig feed and returned to the village when they saw people arguing and even fighting ahead. This was quite unusual, as everyone was busy working and finding food before and had no time to argue or fight. It seemed that life had been too smooth for them, so they were looking for trouble.
When Song Tantan saw there was something to watch, she ran very fast on her short legs. She went up to the front and saw several women grabbing Zhuyu and Liumei and beating them. Zhuyu and Liumei were delicate and weak and no match for the women. They could only howl and be beaten.
"What's going on? Why are they fighting?" Song Tantan asked the woman next to him.
The woman smiled as soon as she saw Song Tantan. "Tantan's back from gathering pig feed. Here's what happened... We've been on the run for so long, and it's been so hard to get food. But these two sluts think they can pay for the house construction just by posing and beautifying themselves. Dream on! You shameless hussies, you deserve a beating."
It turned out that Zhuyu and Liumei's house had already been built, but they didn't have enough food to exchange for labor with the men in the village. They grew up in brothels and learned how to sing and dance to please men from a young age. They didn't know how to do manual labor, so they couldn't exchange labor for labor.
They could only exchange it for... but they looked down on these rough men and were unwilling to exchange their bodies for it. They would only give them a little sweetness every day, but not anything real. The big men who built houses for them were itching with desire, but they didn't dare to force them.
Every day, he would exchange glances with the two women, trying to gain some verbal advantage and occasionally even physical advantage. Today, a big man was caught by his wife while he was trying to take advantage of her. These women had long been dissatisfied with their husbands, but since the man was the head of the household, they dared not show their dissatisfaction.
But when caught red-handed, even the most patient person could not tolerate it any longer, so they grabbed the person and started tearing at them. Several other women happened to be present, so they took the opportunity to settle scores together.
"When the house was being built, wasn't lunch provided? Why didn't they provide meals?" Providing meals could be used to offset wages.
"Mind your own business! These big bastards brought their own rice to cook, and they not only did the work for others, but they also had to pay for their own food. Isn't that going too far? I think these two sluts should be driven away. They're corrupting the morals." The woman's husband hadn't helped Zhu and Yu build the house, but he was worried that the two of them would seduce him in the future, so he disliked them very much.
Upon hearing that they were to be driven away, Zhuyu and Liumei turned pale and burst into tears. "Don't drive us away! This place is surrounded by mountains. If you drive us out, how will we survive? Please, don't drive us away!" Zhuyu sobbed, looking pitifully at the men.
"Even now you're still so incorrigible! Get out! We can't keep sluts like you here!" The women were furious at her seductive appearance.
Several people were about to take Zhuyu and Liumei away when Song Tantan looked at the agitated women, shook her head and sighed, then ran over to stop them.
“Let’s discuss this matter again. It’s getting dark. If we drive them away, it will be a matter of life and death. Everyone, please calm down and don’t rush to deal with them. Let’s find the village chief and the others.”
“The village chief will definitely agree to drive them away, why waste time?” one of the tall, burly women said stiffly.
“How far can you take him? If you take him nearby, he’ll come back soon. If you take him far away, it won’t be safe for you to come back. This can’t be rushed,” Song Tantan tried to reason with them.
