Yan Xiao led Shen Qiyue along the way, deliberately choosing places with few people and no attention-grabbing.
As it was getting dark, they found a secluded cave to stay in.
With those two linen blankets, at least the two of them no longer had to sleep on the floor.
After Shen Qiyue laid out the blanket, Yan Xiao sat on it and, by the moonlight from the cave entrance, took stock of all their current belongings.
Besides the pots and pans that Shen Qiyue was carrying, all they had were two sets of tattered clothes that Yan Xiao was carrying.
Now, we also need to add the salt we traded with the refugees, the two blankets, and the bundle that we haven't had time to open yet.
Yan Xiao took the package and opened it to take a look. Inside, she saw two sets of clothes folded neatly, one set for men and one set for women.
Although they weren't nice clothes, they were much better than the tattered burlap strips they were wearing.
Besides the two sets of clothes, there was also a neatly folded cotton handkerchief inside.
Handkerchiefs are something that women in ordinary farming families would never use; it's probably part of that woman's dowry.
Yan Xiao held the handkerchief and had an idea in mind. After gesturing to her face, she thought it should work and put it away.
She is someone who enjoys life, and even if she doesn't have the means, she'll create them.
She had already thought it through. She couldn't keep wandering around like this, sleeping in the open. Since she had transmigrated here with healing abilities, she had to make good use of them.
She couldn't remember all the details in the book, but she still knew the general direction.
For example, the original owner met the male lead more than half a year after Shen Qiyue's death.
For example, in this timeline, the male protagonist has already formed a rebel army with others and occupied the Jiangbei area.
They were called a righteous army, but in reality they were rebels who were dissatisfied with the current emperor's incompetence and lack of morality, and chose to establish their own independent force.
These people included soldiers who were already in the army, people who just wanted to make a living, and ordinary people who had been driven to desperation by corrupt officials.
This situation is not uncommon in various places.
The Qing Kingdom is now in a state of disarray, beset by internal and external troubles. Fortunately, although these rebels do not submit to the control of the imperial court, they each hold fast to their own territories, giving no opportunity for other countries to take advantage of them.
Shen Qiyue didn't know where the original owner had met the male lead, so she could only head towards Jiangbei.
Given the male protagonist's current identity, as long as the direction is right, it shouldn't be difficult to find him.
The difficulty is that it's too far away.
On their own two legs, she really didn't know how long it would take; just thinking about it made her feet ache.
I want to give up, but I can't bear to part with that glittering golden thigh.
In this chaotic world, without a powerful backer to protect her, it would be difficult for a nobody like her to live a carefree life.
Therefore, she felt that she had to go to Jiangbei no matter what.
Yan Xiao took the men's clothes and looked at them. After hesitating for a moment, she looked at Shen Qiyue, who was sitting to the side and staring at her.
From the original owner's memories, Yan Xiao already knew that although Shen Qiyue was young, she was very skilled at needlework, and Shen Qiyue did almost all the needlework at home.
Not only that, she would also take on some needlework to do. Although she didn't earn much money, it was enough to supplement her household income.
So, we'll have to rely on Shen Qiyue for this next task, since she's definitely not capable of it.
"Please alter this garment to my size."
He then handed the women's clothing to Chen Qiyue, saying, "Alter this to your size."
Shen Qiyue looked at the two sets of clothes in her hands, her face full of surprise, and even doubted whether she had misunderstood.
How could her sister-in-law bear to let her wear that women's clothing?
"Sister-in-law, are you going to wear men's clothes? And this women's outfit should fit you well, no need to alter it."
"I'll change it when you tell me to; I know what I'm doing."
Yan Xiao didn't explain much. She had already decided that she would have to rely on her healing abilities to survive.
Pretending to be a doctor and treating people is the simplest method.
However, the two women were dressed in such tattered clothes that they looked like refugees, which made it hard to believe, especially considering her identity as a woman.
In this era, apart from the female protagonist who had a halo, there were no other women practicing medicine outside the home.
If she were to practice medicine like this, it would be really hard to gain people's trust. She might as well just pretend to be a man.
With her skin tone and appearance, and with a little makeup, I doubt anyone would suspect anything.
Thinking about her current appearance, she felt a little melancholy again.
Let alone the male lead, she herself dislikes him.
I really don't know what kind of expression the male protagonist had when the original owner of this face begged him for sex.
To be honest, she was actually quite interested in seeing it.
Yan Xiao, realizing that her thoughts had wandered off, quickly brought them back to the present.
Although she wasn't a stunning beauty before, she was still considered one of the prettiest girls in her class back in school. Now, with a face like this, she's really feeling down.
She raised her arm, looked at her hand that had become one with the darkness, and thought of the reflection she had seen in the water during the day, which made her even more melancholy.
'Am I really going to have to live with this kind of appearance for the rest of my life?'
She still wants to enjoy life, but with that kind of appearance, how can she seduce handsome men?
'Could the original owner have been of mixed African and African descent? Her features don't seem to match. Could she have suffered from some strange illness?'
Yanxiao couldn't help but take it seriously, as it concerned her own future.
Thinking this, she pretended to be sleepy and lay down on the blanket, then began to use her healing abilities to examine her body.
I also want to see if there are any differences between the current superpowers and those of the past.
Yan Xiao was just taking precautions, since the original owner of this body had always been in good health and was stronger than the average person, and didn't seem to be sick at all.
As it turned out, the examination revealed something quite different.
He saw that some unknown toxin was hidden within his meridians, something that ordinary doctors would not be able to detect if he did not have a healing ability.
These toxins have, over time, become integrated with the meridians throughout her body.
Normally, it's completely undetectable, and she doesn't experience any discomfort. It even makes her inexplicably stronger than ordinary people, but this is done by consuming her lifespan.
The reason she became increasingly dark and developed dark spots on her face was due to these toxins.
If this poison isn't cured, she won't live past twenty.
The problem with her body was found, but Yanxiao just couldn't be happy.
Because she tried to use her powers to remove these toxins, she discovered that her healing power level was too low.
While basic healing abilities can have some effect, the toxins in the body have already become integrated with the meridians.
The treatment is not only extremely painful, but it can only remove a small amount at a time, and it takes a considerable amount of time to completely remove it.
But that wasn't what annoyed her the most. After all, being able to detoxify was a good thing, and suffering a little was a minor matter.
What annoyed her most was how the original owner, a child bride from a rural family, could be poisoned with such a potent poison.
Is this something that children from ordinary families can access?
'Could the original owner have some formidable enemies? The fact that the original owner has no memories before the age of seven is also suspicious! Ugh, so annoying!'
Yan Xiao sat up irritably, startling Shen Qiyue, who was concentrating on altering clothes.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Can't you sleep?"
