The six hundred and sixty-sixth year of Xuanlong.
The tenth year of Murong Ye's reign.
The mainland is unified and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
In this world, there is no longer any distinction between the mortal world and the world of cultivation.
In the streets and alleys of Xuanlong Kingdom, everyone's face is filled with gentle smiles.
"Hey, sister-in-law, I heard that your youngest child has tested positive for an Earth-grade spiritual root? Congratulations! Our alley is about to produce another top-notch expert!"
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, Brother Wang passed away early, and it was not easy for you to raise the child alone. Now, it can be said that the hardship has finally come to an end."
Everyone was talking and complimenting a woman who was grinding tofu.
Hearing this, the woman looked up with an innocent smile and wiped the sweat from her head.
"What a top master! I just hope my little Zhuzi can defend our country and protect our Xuanlong. That would be a blessing from our ancestors."
The woman who was called old sister-in-law grinned, and as she smiled, tears fell down unknowingly.
Xiao Zhuzi was the child she and her husband prayed for for a long time and took many folk remedies.
Unfortunately, when she was three years old, she took Xiao Zhuzi to the street, and when she turned around, Xiao Zhuzi disappeared.
She screamed and cried for a long time.
In the end, the old couple refused to give up, sold their property, and kept searching for their child.
However, the little bamboo disappeared without a trace, like a stone sinking into the sea.
His wife also died in an accident after falling off a cliff.
The woman continued to search hard.
Just when she felt that her life was hopeless and was planning to die.
But news came from the capital.
News came that the Crown Prince and General Xiaoyao's Mansion worked together to destroy countless evil organizations of human traffickers.
Many people who had lost their relatives, friends, wives and children went to look for them.
Those bloody, tragic and sorrowful scenes are still hard to forget for many people.
It was in such an environment that the woman saw her little bamboo.
The young bamboo had its eyes closed, its hands and feet cut off, and lay quietly in the wooden barrel, its face pale and bloodless.
At that moment, she was like a madman.
She looked at the tortured and ravaged child and fainted.
For countless days and nights, she could only shed tears. Whenever she thought of her child's tragic experience, she wished she could die to atone for her sins.
If it weren't for my carelessness, how could Xiao Zhuzi be kidnapped by thieves? How could I have suffered such a misfortune?
The woman worked day and night, she shed tears all the time. At first she did not take seriously the royal family's promise that they would be fully responsible for the child's recovery in the second half of his life.
In this kind of situation, if there were a kind-hearted royal family, they would just give more silver as compensation.
But her little bamboo was destined to not live long...
However, everything turned out to be far beyond her imagination.
When the new emperor Murong Ye came to the throne, he not only did not abandon these children, but instead used the spiritual spring water from General Xiaoyao's mansion to supply the children with a steady supply.
Those "barrel children" have everything they need for food, clothing, and bathing, all using top-quality spiritual spring water.
Even the bedroom where they slept was an auxiliary formation paved with countless spirit stones.
that's all……
Three years have passed.
Those "barrel children" who once made people sad and cry when they heard about them, gradually grew their limbs again under the nourishment of the huge amount of spiritual power accumulated over time!
When the little bamboo stood in front of her intact again and called her "Mom" softly, God knows how excited the woman was at that time.
It’s not just the little bamboo that has experienced this. There are thousands and thousands of other little bamboos. Under the careful care of the royal family, they have all ushered in a new life...
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what are you thinking about? Everyone is asking you to buy tofu. What are you thinking about?"
Seeing the expression on the woman's face, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, everyone couldn't help but feel worried.
"Oh, sorry, everyone. I was a little distracted just now. I'm going to give you some tofu now."
As the woman spoke, she quickly washed up and weighed tofu for everyone.
"Haha, sister-in-law, you are so happy and cheerful. I really envy you."
Someone joked with a smile while weighing the tofu.
The woman looked up and saw an old woman looking at her with a smile.
"Well, Granny Hua, don't just blame me. I see that you are looking better and better now."
"I heard that Sister Cui'er has been working at the girls' school and has become a respected female teacher. Your son also works at the factory. All you have to do every day is tend to the flowers, go fishing, and sit and count your money..."
The woman said with a smile.
"Haha, that's not true. The children haven't had an easy life in the first half of their lives. I'd better make a few more meals for them while I can still walk. Otherwise, when I'm gone, I won't be able to take care of them anymore."
The old woman spoke with some melancholy, but her eyes were bright.
Seeing this, the woman quickly handed over a piece of weighed tofu.
Seeing Grandma Hua walking away tremblingly, tears glistened in her eyes.
They are all miserable people.
Granny Hua's two children once disappeared for no reason. Her daughter became a prostitute, and her son was whipped and became a slave.
Fortunately, overnight, the injustice was cleared.
Her daughter was determined to die, but it was the female stewards under the Empress Dowager who kept persuading her that her daughter finally regained her confidence and lived towards the sun.
"This is all so good."
The woman looked up, tilting her head against the scorching sun, and smiled brightly.
"Everyone is busy. I still have some tofu to deliver to the women's college and the factory first."
