After Qin Qing left, the man slowly fell into a deep sleep.
At night, Qin Qing, who was sleeping on the floor, heard the man's mutterings. She opened her eyes in annoyance, feeling like she was going crazy! She was exhausted during the day and couldn't sleep well at night. Seeing Mu Xing sleeping soundly beside her, and Shao Yao seemingly used to falling asleep amidst the noise, she glared angrily at the man who was dressed.
At this moment, she was extremely doubtful that if this continued, she might collapse from exhaustion and travel back in time! After all, her time travel had happened after she collapsed from exhaustion.
Finally, she resigned herself to her fate and got up to check on the man. She confirmed that the wound on his back was festering and the infection had worsened; clearly, the wound hadn't been treated at all during the day…
"Hey... you're lucky, meeting me is the greatest fortune of your life!"
Then, she turned the man over, a flash of cold light appearing in her hand, and a scalpel suddenly materialized. She swiftly cleaned away the dead flesh from the man's wound, and just as the man cried out in pain, she tightly covered his mouth…
"Hmm..."
The pain made the man involuntarily open his eyes. He turned his head and saw the woman's disgusted look. He could only endure the pain and breathe slightly. Looking closely, all he could see was the image of the woman holding a basin of cold, sharp blade. He exclaimed in horror.
"What...what are you doing?"
Qin Qing rolled her eyes and coldly uttered four words.
"Heal your wounds! Don't move!"
After completely lifting the man's clothes, one could see the scars all over his back, many of them old wounds. Clearly, he hadn't been captured recently as Er Tou had claimed; he had obviously been imprisoned for some time!
All night long, the sounds of a man's heavy breathing and muffled groans could be heard from inside the house; anyone who didn't know better would have thought something had happened.
Finally, the man fell into a deep sleep and slept peacefully that night.
Qin Qing fed him the medicine again, and he was finally able to sleep well.
Don't ask why the scalpel doesn't need to be sterilized by fire. Her social media is updated every day, and the scalpel is placed in a sterile environment. She doesn't need to worry about any medical accidents.
Time flies like an arrow, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye. After the man's injuries have miraculously healed considerably, Qin Qing decisively kicked him out!
The man's eyes were filled with disbelief; he couldn't believe that the woman had really abandoned him.
"Are you...are you sure?"
Back then, with his status, countless women flocked to him, not to mention his handsome appearance. No one could have imagined that one day he would be rejected and kicked out by an old woman.
Qin Qing nodded solemnly, turned and left without saying a word. Shaoyao quickly picked up Xiao Muyue and followed closely behind, leaving the man alone, bewildered in the wind…
As she walked, Qin Qing became increasingly distressed. Putting everything else aside, she was short of money. If she couldn't find anyone today, she would have to find a way to earn money.
As she was thinking, she unknowingly walked towards a slave market, which was said to be the largest and had the most people.
She was about to pay for her ticket when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a small figure darting out from a corner. For some inexplicable reason, she paused, a strange feeling stirring within her.
When she looked up, the person was already gone. The man next to her saw her in a daze and couldn't help but urge her on.
"Hey lady, do you want to go in and pick something out? If not, move aside, there are other people behind you!"
A rude voice reached her ears, and she pursed her lips, her mind filled with the familiar figure from just moments before.
"Tch, what kind of attitude is that? I'm not going in!"
After saying that, she turned to leave, but reached out and grabbed the bewildered Peony.
"Peony, bring Muyue and wait for me here!"
After saying that, she went straight into the alley. Peony looked confused but still stood obediently in place. Xiao Muyue tugged at her clothes and looked up to ask in a low voice.
"Auntie, what's wrong with Grandma?"
Upon hearing this, Peony lowered her head and looked at the rosy, incredibly cute little face in front of her. Her heart melted instantly, and she smiled.
"Mother probably saw something. Let's just wait here quietly."
Little Muyue nodded, looking like a sweet little girl, which made Shaoyao even happier, her face full of smiles! It feels so good to have family!
On the other side, Qin Qing quickly passed through the alley and came to another street. Looking at the crowds of people coming and going and the vendors hawking their wares, he breathed a little heavily!
But she never saw that figure again. A sense of loss welled up inside her, and she could only frown and look around, her body gradually stiffening.
After a long while, she sighed and turned to leave when she heard a roar.
What are you doing!
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. This child is arguing with me! They're all spoiled. Hurry up and apologize to the young master!"
Hearing this, Qin Qing shook her head and continued walking...
"You're not my mother! You're a liar! Big brother, save me! I don't know her!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Qin Qing froze, instinctively turning around and looking towards the source of the sound.
A little girl in tattered clothes was seen grabbing the man's sleeve, her face full of anger and defiance. The once tender cheeks were now sunken, and her skin was yellowish, giving her a malnourished appearance.
Her big eyes were filled with stubbornness, and her messy hair made her look like a little beggar, completely unlike the proud little princess she used to be.
At that moment, Qin Qing felt a surge of sorrow welling up in her heart, her heart aching terribly, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Her clever and strong little granddaughter was only six years old…
"What are you saying, you brat! So what if I don't buy you new clothes? You're not even recognizing your mother anymore! Come on, let's go home!"
Seeing this, the man beside him didn't bother to argue anymore, and simply snorted "Bad luck!" before turning and leaving.
Seeing that the woman was about to forcibly pull Mu Xing away, Qin Qing disregarded her sadness and heartache and rushed over quickly.
"Wait!"
Just as the crowd was about to disperse, they heard a shout and instinctively looked over, only to see Qin Qing rushing towards them with tears in her eyes and bloodshot eyes. The woman couldn't dodge in time and was knocked aside, and chaos ensued.
Qin Qing disregarded everything else, reaching out to hug the little girl in front of him, overwhelmed by the feeling of having found her again.
Mu Xing, caught in someone's arms, didn't see who it was. Suddenly being hugged, she instinctively struggled desperately, screaming in terror. Tears welled up in her eyes, her feigned strength shattered, and she kept shouting for them to get away...
She was terrified. If she were caught, she might be sold to a faraway place, and then she would never find her mother and grandmother again!
In the midst of the panic, a gentle and familiar murmured sob reached my ears.
"Star, I'm sorry!"
The five words instantly made Mu Xing tremble. Tears froze in her eyes, and large teardrops blocked her vision. The little girl's mouth was slightly open, as if she couldn't believe it, and she looked even more frightened.
