The deep wound on my head, which was just a second ago, began to slowly heal the next second where it had been splashed with water.
The scar gradually changed from red to black before peeling off and turning into light pink tender flesh.
Xi Bao didn't understand what was wrong with her grandmother and stared at her wound for a long time, unable to come to her senses.
She thought it was her grandmother who felt sorry for her.
"Grandma, it's alright, you'll be fine in a couple of days."
Grandma Su pretended not to hear her grandson's words and suddenly turned around to look at her little granddaughter.
"Sweetie, come to the inner room first."
After saying this, he scooped the little dumpling from the ground into his arms. As he was about to leave, he noticed Xibao standing there in a daze, so he took her hand and led her into the inner room.
Unaware of what was going on, Xi Bao followed her grandmother into the inner room.
I could still feel the burning pain from the wound on my head, but now it was gone.
With a gentle touch, his eyes widened in surprise.
After the fall, I was taken to the doctor, who simply applied some medicine powder to my head.
Because the head wound wasn't very deep, it wasn't bandaged.
Unbandaged wounds heal much faster.
But now when I touch my head, I can't feel the wound. What's going on?
Then I remembered the water my little sister poured on my head. I hadn't paid attention before, but now that I think about it, it seems that I didn't feel any pain after that water was poured on my head.
Back in the house, the old lady looked at Xibao for a while with a stern expression before speaking: "Xibao, you know your sister is special. As her older brother, your grandmother hopes you can protect her. Don't tell anyone about this, not even your parents, understand?"
It wasn't that Grandma Su didn't trust her son, but rather that this was simply too unbelievable.
If anyone outside finds out about this, my little granddaughter will definitely be snatched away.
How many people could he save with that ability? Just thinking about it is terrifying.
Although they are his own sons, he believes that even if they are driven by money, status, and power, they can still retain some of their conscience.
After speaking earnestly with Xi Bao, and after Xi Bao firmly stated that she would always keep the secret and would protect her sister, he finally let him leave.
Only after Xibao left did she properly examine her granddaughter.
"Goodness, did your master give this to you again?"
"Yes, Master gave me a lot of treasures."
The old lady saw only innocence in her granddaughter's eyes and finally sighed.
He held Su Muyao in his arms and earnestly instructed her, "My dear, you must never show this ability in front of others, understand?"
"You are not allowed to take these things out of your uncles, aunts, or brothers."
"Sweetie, you must remember what Grandma said, okay?"
"Yes, I'll listen to Grandma."
Seeing the little dumpling nod emphatically, I finally felt relieved.
He patted his granddaughter's head.
"Okay, go have fun."
Only after Su Muyao left did he sigh and discuss the matter with his wife.
My granddaughter is so capable, it's a worry. What if other people find out?
...
Those who returned from selling their grain in town were all smiles; almost every household had made a fortune.
The grain sold this time was more than ten times the normal price, and even more.
Basically, the grain is snapped up as soon as it's released.
Some people even inquired about which village it came from, whether there were any more, and whether they wanted to come back to sell them.
Because the village chief had given instructions beforehand not to reveal any information about the village, and that this was a one-time event and they would not sell it again.
In the end, they only said that they had saved up some grain from their homes and wanted to exchange it for some money.
Moreover, there was no other grain left, so they wouldn't come back to sell it again, which put some people with ulterior motives at ease.
As expected, peasants are still peasants; they don't even consider how they'll survive if the snow continues for several more months.
Those who only think about selling all the grain they have while prices are high are truly foolish.
Seeing that these people were of no use, the grain store owner stopped caring which village they were from or whether he should have someone follow them.
Now, Su Muyao's words carry more weight in the village than the village chief's.
Two months later
The heavy snow has finally passed, and everyone has been staying in the village during this time.
The blizzard lasted for more than two months, and many families in nearby villages lost their lives to starvation.
In Taoliu Village, not only did no one starve to death, but everyone in the households thrived and grew up healthy and plump.
If all you do is eat and sleep, you'll naturally become chubby and healthy.
There were only two lazy households in the middle, whose houses collapsed because they didn't clear the snow off their roofs in time.
Fortunately, they ran fast and no one was injured.
There were still some vacant old houses in the village, so the two families were temporarily allowed to move in.
Su Muyao looked at the wheat and corn in the space, which had been harvested countless times, and fell into deep thought.
"Wow, this is way too much!"
Looking at the peach trees, plum trees, apricot trees, persimmon trees, jujube trees, and even grapevines and durian trees, all of them were laden with fruit.
There was simply too much food to eat, but fortunately the space had a preservation function, so I used my mind to pick it all and put it in a basket in the corner of the space.
When summer comes, we'll take them all out and dry them into fruit.
"Time for school, wake up, you lazybones!"
Grandma Su saw that breakfast was all prepared, but the little dumpling hadn't come out of the room yet, so she figured he was still asleep. And it was almost time for him to go to school.
If he got up any later, he wouldn't have time for breakfast, so he hurriedly came to call Su Muyao.
After breakfast, Su Muyao and her brothers went to school together.
Nowadays, apart from the youngest student, Su Muyao, who is a girl, all the other students in the school are boys.
When the Su family sent Su Mengyao over as well, the teacher was extremely excited.
In this feudal society, even though women could study like men, few families were willing to send their daughters here.
Su Muyao is currently receiving her early education alongside Su Mingxuan.
After all, at their age, they can only study in introductory classes.
Today we will learn about comprehensive remedies for women.
The one who spoke was Master Shangguan from the introductory class. This surname was basically unheard of in this area. It was said that this master had returned from the capital, but his family had fallen on hard times and he had returned to his ancestral home.
"One of the four is the 'Special Treatment for Women' in the Department of Gynecology. The word 'special' in this treatment refers to its focus on women's health."
"Medicine is a difficult skill to master, but it is especially difficult to treat women..."
Su Muyao listened carefully, realizing that ancient education was not limited to the Four Books and Five Classics as she had thought.
The curriculum here is very broad, covering everything from astronomy and geography to archery, and even some martial arts masters.
It can be considered quite comprehensive.
What Su Muyao didn't know was that other schools wouldn't teach these things.
After school at noon, the teacher told everyone that they didn't need to come in the afternoon.
Su Muyao was wondering why they were suddenly forbidden to go out when it stopped snowing. She only found out after returning home that it was because it was unsafe outside and there were many refugees.
"Old woman, news from the village head says that a large group of refugees is heading this way."
The village chief meant that we should hide all our valuables and food in case of emergency.
