Among the rolling hills, a trail passes through the mountains.
Wei Ruo was walking on the path with a bamboo basket on her back. The weather in early spring was perfect, and the sunset glow reflected on her fair face.
Yunping Mountain is far away for her, but there are many rare wild herbs in the mountain, so it is worthwhile for her to come all the way early in the morning.
After coming out of the trail at the foot of the mountain and turning into the official road, Wei Ruo heard a group of noisy voices not far away.
A luxurious carriage was parked on the side of the road, surrounded by many attendants, there was a great battle.
Wei Ruo stopped, and after thinking for a while, with the mentality that more things are worse than less things, he pretended not to see, bowed his head and continued to move forward.
However, these people still found her. A man in Chinese clothes walked over quickly and stood in front of Wei Ruo: "Where is the nearest medical center?"
The voice is urgent, and the expression is a little scary.
"There is no medical clinic nearby. The nearest one is in the county seat, which is seventy or eighty miles away." Wei Ruo answered with a bow.
"What about Wen Po? Is there a village near here with Wen Po?" the man asked again.
"No."
Wei Ruo's answer made the man's face even more ugly.
Seeing that the man stopped asking questions, Wei Ruo didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he turned around and planned to leave.
Just two steps away, I heard a woman's screams from inside the carriage, and the anxious voices of the maids:
"Madam, hold on, Madam is fine, we will find the doctor soon."
"Foot, I see a foot, what should I do? It's a foot! It's about to kill someone!"
"Water, bring hot water and ginseng tea!"
Wei Ruo frowned and couldn't help but stop.
The person in the car should be giving birth and the situation is critical.
Do you want to take care of it?
It’s better not to worry about it, it’s easy to cause trouble if you manage it, and this group of people doesn’t seem easy to mess with!
Just as she decided to continue walking, there was another scream of a woman.
How does this make her go! Life is at stake, as a child!
Wei Ruo glanced back at his bamboo basket, pondered for two seconds, and finally couldn't hold back, and chose to turn around and walk back.
Seeing Wei Ruo approaching the carriage, the followers immediately stopped her.
"I know a little bit of medical skills, and there are some freshly picked herbs in the bamboo basket. If you choose to believe, let me go into the carriage right now, or I will leave now."
Wei Ruo succinctly gave the man two choices.
Answer quickly, if he says he won't treat her, she will turn around and leave immediately, saving trouble!
The man's mind is dumb at the moment, he heard the maid said that he saw the feet, if the feet come out first when a woman gives birth, it means half of her body has entered the gate of hell!
At this time, there was another screaming sound from inside the carriage, hitting the man's heart heavily.
The man has no time to think anymore: "I'll give you a chance to try, keep my wife and children, and the prosperity and wealth are indispensable to you!"
With approval, Wei Ruoda stepped into the carriage.
In the carriage, a gorgeously dressed woman was moaning in pain, with sweat all over her head, and her hands were tightly clutching the maid next to her.
Wei Ruo lowered his head and looked down at the woman. The amniotic fluid had already broken, but the fetus was in an abnormal position and the labor was difficult.
Fortunately, the amniotic fluid has not flowed out, and the fetus' legs have not yet fully entered the birth canal.
Wei Ruo took out a cloth bag from the bamboo basket, which contained acupuncture kits and some commonly used medicines.
Take two dried ginseng slices and take them out for the woman to suck, and tell the maid to get some water, preferably sugar water tonic soup, for the woman to feed.
Wei Ruo comforted the woman: "Don't cry, don't shout, save your strength, I will give you an injection to relieve the pain, and then help you to position the fetus. Don't be nervous, just relax as much as possible."
What? Upright fetal position?
The fetal position is correct at this time?
Do you still need a needle?
The maidservants on both sides turned pale when they heard this.
This is something that the most experienced women in Beijing dare not do! At this time, the fetal position is too dangerous!
Wei Ruo didn't talk nonsense, and quickly washed his hands with the hot water on the carriage, opened the acupuncture bag, picked up the thin and long silver needles, untied the woman's clothes, and accurately inserted the needles in several positions.
After a while, more than a dozen silver needles were stuck on the woman's body, which eased the woman's pain.
Then, under the disbelieving eyes of the two servant girls, they stuffed the child's protruding feet back!
The pupils of the maids trembled, and they almost screamed out.
Wei Ruo then put his hands on his belly, gestured as if doing Tai Chi, and pressed the fetus in the abdomen to rotate slowly.
The two maids in the carriage saw this scene and were once again speechless in shock. The child in their stomach was really moving!
Time passed by minute by minute, and the people waiting outside the carriage became more and more anxious, as if they were being roasted on the stove.
Is that girl really okay?
Can you? What if it doesn't work...how?
God bless, Buddha bless!
An hour later, the cry of a baby broke through the haze that enveloped everyone.
Everyone looked at the carriage in great surprise, and burst into bursts of cheers.
Accompanied by the cheers from outsiders, Wei Ruo in the carriage took care of the child's umbilical cord, and then cleaned up the mother to stop the bleeding.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Wei Ruo let out a long breath, and then dragged his tired body out of the carriage.
As soon as he finished speaking, he could go in and see his wife, the man in Chinese clothes couldn't wait to get on the carriage to see his wife.
After a while, under the reminder of his wife, the man got out of the car and came to look for Wei Ruo. He wanted to thank Wei Ruo and give him a big reward, but found that the woman who had just saved his wife had disappeared...
He clearly promised that woman that he would give her glory and wealth, why did he leave without saying goodbye?
Walking on the small road home, Wei Ruo began to feel pain in the flesh.
Just gave the woman some ginseng slices, and used herbal medicine to stop bleeding. It was worth a lot of money!
Wei Ruo secretly thought, next time something like this happens, she must ask for some reward!
Wei Ruo walked towards home with a bamboo basket on his back. He could finish the journey home in more than an hour, but he exhausted too much energy when saving people, and he couldn't walk the rest of the way.
Three hours later, a separate courtyard appeared in front of Wei Ruo.
This is the place where Wei Ruo lived for ten years: pitch-black tiles, gray walls, chrome-blue bricks, vaguely dilapidated.
The maid Xiumei stood at the door like a watchman, saw Wei Ruo from a distance, trotted forward, saw Wei Ruo carrying a bamboo basket of herbs, and said in a distressed and slightly complaining tone :
"Miss, why did you run to the mountain alone again? How dangerous it is!"
While speaking, Xiumei had skillfully taken Wei Ruo's bamboo basket and carried it on her back.
"Good Meimei, I didn't go up the dangerous cliff, really! There are many rare medicinal herbs on the mountain, which are worth a lot of money. If I don't pick them, I will be reckless!"
"That won't work! Your body is not as strong as mine! Even if you want to go, you have to take me with you! The master you invited taught me so much kung fu, I have to use it!"
Who will cook for me when I bring you up the mountain? My good plums and my five internal organs temple are all counting on you!" Wei Ruo said coquettishly.
Today's trip was exhausting for her. Her stamina bar had been exhausted after running long distances to collect herbs, and she was about to be useless after giving birth.
"I'll make it for you when I come back! You ran to the mountains alone, and I was worried at home. The rice couldn't be cooked properly, and I couldn't tell the difference between salt and sugar!"
Xiumei stomped her feet.
"I'm hungry." Wei Ruo looked up at Xiumei eagerly.
"Miss, you changed the subject again!" Xiumei was helpless.
"Don't starve me, you see I'm so thin." Wei Ruo rubbed his belly, implying that it was in place.
When he was just saving people, he didn't even frown when he was in such a critical situation, but now he is acting cute and cute with his maid for a meal.
"Okay, okay, it's been done a long time ago, it's all simmering in the stove, it's hot! I'll go and serve it to you."
Xiumei turned around and entered the kitchen while muttering.
There is no way, who made their lady's food-hungry eyes so painful? I can't stand it!
The yard where Wei Ruo lives is full of various plants, including ornamental flowers, medicinal materials, and crops.
The only space is reserved for a stone table. When the weather is good, Wei Ruo likes to eat, drink tea and bask in the sun at the stone table.
This is a separate courtyard of the He family, and there are only two people living here, Wei Ruo and her maid, Xiumei.
If Wei Ruo crossed over, she became a supporting actress in the book.
In the original book, she is the daughter of the Wei family, a family of officials, who was taken away by the He family, a family of merchants.
When he was raised in the He family of merchants until he was three years old, he was ordered by a fortune teller to say that he would kill his parents, so he was sent to this other courtyard.
Only Wei Ruo's nanny and maid Xiumei came together.
After that, the He family sent five taels of silver every month, and they stopped asking.
Even during the holidays, Wei Ruo never saw them again.
Now Wei Ruo is thirteen years old, and has lived in this Zhuangzi for ten full years.
For Wei Ruo, she likes life in Zhuangzi very much, and likes dealing with the villagers.
She doesn't want to go back to He's house, nor to her biological parents' house, because in the original book, whether she is in He's house or in her biological parents' house, she has a very difficult life.
Early next morning, after breakfast, Wei Ruo and Xiumei went out together.
The other courtyard where Wei Ruo lives is backed by hills, and there are large tracts of farmland just outside the door.
It is the busy season of farming, and the villagers are busy transplanting rice seedlings in the fields.
When Wei Ruo passed by, the villagers greeted her one after another.
"Ruoruo, my boss hunted a rabbit up the mountain today, I left you a rabbit leg, remember to ask Xiumei to take it back later!"
"Miss Ruo'er, I picked some water celery today, and I will share it with you. Let Xiumei take it."
"Miss Ruoer, the medicine you gave last time is really useful, my tiger will be fine after taking it!"
"..."
Wei Ruo greeted them and came to his field.
Like everyone else, she took off her shoes, stepped barefoot into the muddy rice fields, and started planting rice seedlings.
Xiumei persuaded Wei Ruo several times to rest beside her and let her do it, but Wei Ruo insisted on doing it herself.
Because she has a reason to plant it herself.
Wei Ruo has a space, which appeared during time travel. The entrance of the space is in the palm of her left hand, with a red spot, like a cinnabar mole.
There is a simple thatched hut in the space. At first, the hut was empty and there was nothing.
There is nothingness outside the thatched hut, a vast expanse of whiteness, as if shrouded in a thick fog.
Later, Wei Ruo began to decorate the thatched hut. Over the course of several years, he added furniture, made arrangements, and stored items from the hut.As Wei Ruo built the interior of the thatched hut, the dense fog outside the house receded a bit, and a square of land about two meters by two meters appeared. Rice was planted on the land when it appeared.
So Wei Ruo started planting rice, and when the rice was ripe and harvested, Wei Ruo gained experience points.
After planting several times, the experience points were full, the space was upgraded, the thick fog in front of the house receded again, and a new piece of land of the same size appeared, and sweet potatoes were planted on the land at this time.
At this time, Wei Ruo understood that her own space can be upgraded, and the experience needed to upgrade is obtained through her planting. After the experience value is full, she can upgrade. After the upgrade, new land and new seeds will appear.
This is very similar to an online game "Happy Farm" that has been played for many years. You can gain experience by planting. After the experience is full, you can upgrade to get new plantable land and new seeds.
Later, Wei Ruo took out the rice seeds in the space and planted them, and she also gained experience after harvesting, but only if she planted them herself, and the part that was distributed to the villagers could not gain experience.
So whether she is in the space or outside the space, she needs to fight in person.
The master and servant were busy, when suddenly two nuns and a group of people appeared on the field beside Wei Ruo.
Seeing Wei Ruo standing barefoot in the mud with his face covered in mud, the two nuns showed disgusted expressions in unison.
What does this look like? All the maids in the house are more decent than her!
"We are the servants of the captain's mansion, and we are here to pick up the lady back to the mansion under the order of the master and his wife." The nanny explained the purpose of coming.
The Captain's Mansion? Xiumei looked surprised, and asked: "You guys are mistaken, my young lady lives in the county town, and I don't know any school lieutenants."
"It used to be, but from now on, it's no longer." One of the nuns said, "My master has already investigated clearly. When we were in Haining Mansion, the He family and our Mrs. Xiaowei gave birth in Guanyin Temple at the same time, and met rogues. Going into the mountain, I hugged the wrong child in my panic."
Another nun added: "Your adoptive parents' family, that is, the He family who does business in the county, has agreed to us to pick you up."
Hearing that, Xiumei opened her mouth wide and was too surprised to speak.
Wei Ruo looked at the two nuns and remained silent for a while.
Just when the two nuns who came to pick him up thought that Wei Ruo was too surprised and overwhelmed, Wei Ruo opened his mouth and replied in a calm tone: "Got it."
Knowing that she is not an abandoned son of a merchant's family but a daughter of the school captain's mansion, her status has risen a big level all of a sudden, and her reaction is so calm?
The two nuns looked at each other suspiciously.
"Miss, you can hear me clearly. We are from the Captain's Mansion. The ancestors of the Wei family have made meritorious deeds. You follow us back, and you will be the lady of the official family in the future." The nanny reiterated, thinking that Wei Ruo didn't understand. What does Xiaowei's mansion mean, so he behaves so calmly.
Well, I heard it." Wei Ruo still had no waves on his face.
The reason why Wei Ruo is so calm is because she already knew that such a day would come.
What if she is not calm?
The He family, who sent themselves to other courtyards to fend for themselves, had no feelings for her at all, and it was their wish to have a connection with the Captain's Mansion because of this erroneous relationship.
And the Wei family is a family of officials after all. Once they know about the wrongdoing, they will definitely not let their biological daughter live outside and cause people to talk about it.
As for Wei Ruo himself, he naturally doesn't want to go to the Wei family, but in this world where the hierarchy of monarchs and ministers is strict, there is no way Wei Ruo can't go back if he doesn't want to.
"Then miss, you can go with us. We will take you back to the school captain's mansion to meet your biological parents. You don't have to go to the He family. Our master has already made it clear to them that they are concerned about you returning to school with us." The Wei Mansion has no objections." Seeing that Wei Ruo had heard clearly, the nanny urged.
This countryside is full of snakes, rats, insects and ants. It is dirty and poor. It is not a place for people to stay.
Of course Wei Ruo knew that the He family had no objection to this matter. They had no feelings for themselves, and they were eager to cling to the Colonel's Mansion. Naturally, the Colonel's Mansion would do whatever they wanted.
"I need to go back and pack my things first."
"You don't need to take the things here, they are all in the Captain's Mansion."
What good things can she have here? It's better to throw it to the captain's mansion and use a new one.
“I use my own stuff.”
Although the two nuns have opinions in their hearts, it is not good to express their dissatisfaction to the future master of the family, so they can only follow her wishes.
Wei Ruo came up from the rice field after planting the seedlings in his hands, tidied them up, and led Xiumei back to the house to tidy them up.
Different from the dilapidated exterior walls, the furnishings in the house are much more refined.
I packed up my things, and brought all the valuable things, as well as the jars Wei Ruo stored in the warehouse, and all the dried medicinal materials.
Finally, he entrusted the newly planted rice field to the couple of Lao Li’s family at the entrance of the village, and left a letter asking Lao Li to hand it over to her nanny.
Seeing Wei Ruo's packed luggage, the two nuns showed ugly expressions, especially those dark and broken jars.
If he really grew up in the countryside, he has only so much experience, and a few broken jars are considered good things.
I wanted to persuade Wei Ruo not to bring it. It would be useless to bring such things to the Captain’s Mansion, but then I thought that Wei Ruo had no knowledge, and they might not understand what they said, and it would not be good to waste their words. Why not Don't say anything, let her go.
So under the arrangement of the two nuns, Wei Ruo's luggage was loaded into the carriage, and Wei Ruo and Xiumei got into the carriage and set off for Xiaowei's Mansion.
This trip took three days. Three days later, Wei Ruo walked from the small mountain village of Huaibei Town, where he had lived for ten years, to Xingshan County, Taizhou Prefecture.
Wei Ruo's biological father, Wei Mingting, served as a school lieutenant here.
The ancestors of the Wei family had military generals and were granted the title of Uncle Loyalty, but it was passed down to the generation of Grandpa Wei Ruo.
The Wei family had three sons in Wei Ruo's father's generation.
The eldest son, Wei Minghong, only passed the examination of the scholar, but has not yet passed the exam, so he found a job in Beijing from the eighth rank;
The second son Wei Mingyong is white, and now he only helps manage the family property, but he has been in a state of continuous losses in recent years.
Wei Ruo's father, Wei Mingting, was the third son. He joined the martial arts in his early years, and now he is the most accomplished of the three brothers.
Wei Ruo was led by two nuns to enter through the side door, passed through the hanging flower door, walked in along the corridor, and finally came to the yard where Wei Ruo's mother Yun lived.
As soon as Wei Ruo stepped over the threshold of the main house, Yun hurried up and hugged Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo's body froze, and his limbs were as motionless as if they had been poured with lead.
Yun didn't speak, but touched Wei Ruo's face while crying, his eyes were red.
Feeling that the neck was soaked in warm liquid, Wei Ruo was slightly taken aback.
Is she crying?
Even though he was mentally prepared, when he felt Yun's real tears, Wei Ruo still felt an unexpected throbbing in his heart.
Maybe it was affected by the memory of the original owner, or he remembered his mother who died tragically in the previous life.
"Mother, don't be sad, isn't it a good thing for my sister to come back? We should be happy."
The eldest son Wei Yichen came forward to appease Yun and prevent her from being too sad.
It has been ten days since she learned that the child was wronged, and the mother shed more than a few tears.
Their mother seldom shed tears on weekdays, but this time, she cried and cried.
Under the eldest son's persuasion, Yun's slowed down.
Looked at Wei Ruo carefully again, seeing that she was wearing burlap clothes and her figure was slender, Yun said distressedly: "You have suffered all these years! Mother will make it up to you!"
At this moment, Wei Qingwan came up and knelt down facing Wei Ruo.
Without waiting for everyone to react, they kowtowed.
Seeing this, Yun hurried over to help her up.
"Wanwan, what are you doing?"
"Mother, don't stop me, this is what I owe my sister. I know that no matter how long I kneel, I can't offset the fact that I have taken advantage of my sister's blessings these years, but at least... I should do something..."
Wei Qingwan had tears in her eyes, and her words were sincere.
Seeing her like this, Yun's heart ached too.
What's wrong with a childish child? Both children are innocent! The fault is fate, otherwise they should be the parents!
Wei Yichen also showed a sad expression, but withdrew the hand that was stretched out to help Wei Qingwan.
Wei Ruo looked at Wei Qingwan who was kneeling in front of her, and recognized that she was the delicate heroine in the original book based on her behavior and dialogue.
The book depicts her delicate body, shy and coquettish, tender like water, and men can't help but feel pity when they read it.
Wei Ruo remembered the scene of Wei Qingwan kneeling down when the original owner entered the house for the first time in the original book, but the original owner was not so calm, and angrily accused Wei Qingwan of taking over her identity and her parents and family.
Then Wei Qingwan cried even more unbearably. After being scolded, she still endured the grievance and said that it was what she deserved. This made Yun, who originally felt sorry for her biological daughter who had just been brought back, feel sorry for Wei Qingwan who was accused of being insulted.
