Seeing hope, Liu Zhuzi spoke up, "I once heard my parents talk about your life story. They said they shouldn't have brought you home. They originally wanted you to help with housework, but you ended up being sick and costing us money." He smiled flatteringly at Xia Youyou and continued, "My mom said she thought she couldn't have children, so she picked you up and brought you home to raise. But you ended up with so many illnesses and had to go to the hospital all the time. Our family had no money to treat you, so we left you at home to fend for yourself. Who knew you would persevere and live to this day? Two years ago, you caught a cold and developed tuberculosis. Mom threw you out because she was afraid you would get infected."
It seems her guess was right. "Okay, you can go now."
"Sister, where are my clothes?"
"Did I say I'd give you clothes?"
"How can you go back on your word?" Liu Zhuzi was dissatisfied and was about to rush up to grab her.
She pulled out a baseball bat from space and raised it to hit him. Liu Zhuzi was startled by the stick she conjured out of thin air. "Oh my god, you really are a monster!" He turned around and ran, shouting, "Mom, mom! She really is a monster!"
Xia Youyou raised her eyebrows and put away the baseball bat. This body is really not strong enough!
Liu Laiwang was still controlling Zhang Yun, but when he saw his son rushing out yelling, he hurried to catch him. It was obviously impossible to catch one person at a time, so he lured someone who was passing by after work over.
"What's going on, Laiwang?" A villager looked at the family of three struggling with his hoe, shouting something about monsters.
"It's okay, it's okay. This mother and son are crazy. I'm trying to persuade them. It's okay, you can go first." He grabbed one with each hand, unable to cover their mouths, so he could only shout: "Shut up! If you go crazy again, I'll send you to the criticism!"
Zhang Yun was frightened, and Liu Zhuzi, following the force, huddled in his father's arms. "Dad... Dad, I saw her conjure up a stick. She really is a monster!" He shuddered after saying this. He looked genuinely frightened.
Liu Laiwang frowned and thought for a moment, then growled, "Go back first and don't talk about this outside!" He pulled the two of them and walked home.
Xia Youyou pulled out a massage chair and sat down. Arguing with people was too tiring. She took out her medicine and started taking it. Congenital heart disease was really too torturous. She was even starting to worry about how to get to Baocheng. With no money and no transportation, was she going to walk all the way there? So she had to get some money first! But there was no free market now. Should she go to the black market?
She took out the rice from her space and looked at it. The rice of the future would be polished and look exceptionally white. It wasn't suitable for the black market. She then took out flour. She had never been able to make this. It was a material from her parents' space, and now she could only take it out to exchange for money. Back during the global radiation attack, coins had become useless. More practical were various materials, including gold and lead! Gold was currency, and lead was essential for resisting nuclear radiation. She had a lot of both in her space now. Could she take the gold out to use? In this day and age, obviously not. She would be arrested.
Xia Youyou's mood gradually fell, and she missed them. Alone in this strange time and space, without familiar people or places, everything was so unfamiliar. She had to face the rest of her life alone, and she felt unprecedented confusion.
She took out a pen and paper and started writing. Luckily, she had a good memory and wrote down the map she had seen from the captain that afternoon. She drew it again on the paper and looked at her current location. It was still over a hundred miles from Bao City. How would she get there?
It’s getting late now, let’s go to Dongcheng first tomorrow.
While Xia Youyou was still racking her brains to plan how to go, the news that Widow Wang had committed adultery and was abandoned in the woods had spread throughout the Red Star Brigade.
Widow Wang woke up as soon as she was taken to the hospital, and didn't prepare to go home until the evening. She couldn't figure out why she fainted so suddenly, and the more she thought about it, the more she hated him! Last night, she went to the woods with Li Daniu to seek excitement, but he actually left her alone and ran away! She was frozen all night, and in the morning, someone saw her butt. Li Daniu already had a wife, and he disliked her for being thin and dull, so he had to tease her for no reason. And she had been lonely for a long time, so she hooked up with him.
However, last night the two of them were frightened by a red light, and he just pulled it out and ran away. Maybe they were frightened to death!
What is that red light?
Widow Wang took advantage of the fact that everyone had gone to work and ran to where Li Daniu usually worked to find him.
When we found him, he was surrounded by the rough guys in the village who were asking about what happened with Widow Wang last night. This matter was no longer a secret in the brigade. Everyone knew that the two of them often went out to seek excitement!
"What's wrong with you? You suddenly left Widow Wang outside. Her white butt is visible to everyone."
Li Daniu was shocked when he heard about what happened last night. "Tsk! I don't know what happened last night. I was in the middle of a good time when suddenly a red light lit up half the sky. Maybe there was something..." He looked around slyly, "Ghost!"
"Tsk, you're talking nonsense. There's only a dilapidated temple there, how could there be a ghost?" The person who spoke thought of something and added, "If we talk about ghosts, wouldn't the girl from the Liu family living in there almost become a ghost?" She has become so thin!
Widow Wang heard this from behind a tree nearby, and her face changed! Could that girl really be dead and turned into a ghost? No, she had to go and see!
When she ran to the dilapidated temple, she looked at the eerie and scary temple in the evening, and her heart began to tremble again. If that girl really died...

Widow Wang shuddered and looked towards the source of the sound. She saw a man in long black clothes standing under the headless Buddha statue in the dark and gloomy temple at dusk. His hair was loose and a pair of eyes as big as bells stared at her through his hair. She felt her hair stand on end and screamed, "Ah~~"
Xia Youyou scratched her ears, which had been shaken out by her, and said, "Stop!"
Widow Wang felt as if her throat was being strangled. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and manually silenced herself.
Xia Youyou put down the pot she was about to use to cook, but she didn't hold it properly and almost dropped it on the ground.
She looked curiously at the woman standing at the door. Her hair was neatly braided, and her figure was voluptuous. She looked like... the one who had been carried away this morning!
"What are you doing here?" Xia Youyou didn't want to waste time looking at her. This body hadn't eaten for a long time, and she wanted to cook a meal. She had only eaten bread and milk all day, and she was tired of it.
Widow Wang didn't dare put her hand down, fearing that she would scream again and anger Liu Daya, who was not sure whether she was a human or a ghost, and then eat her! Because she saw the red mole on Liu Daya's forehead, which Liu Daya had never had before! And she ran into Liu Daya when she came to the grove last night. Daya was coming back from outside, and the two met in the woods. She thought she had tuberculosis, so she stayed away from her. However, she couldn't even walk at that time, and staggered into the dilapidated temple.
This is definitely not the Liu Daya from before!
Widow Wang was certain of this, thinking back to the red glow from last night and the new mole on her forehead. She bit her lip tightly and stepped back...
