The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general

Lin Qiu'er followed behind Lin Nanyue, constantly looking around.

Although she tried her best to restrain her curiosity, all her actions revealed her thoughts clearly.

Although the road leading to the village was blocked by poisonous snakes and insects, making it daunting, the surrounding jungle also formed a natural barrier, providing shelter for the village. However, how could it resist the government's regular army?

She couldn't help but secretly wonder in her heart, is it that the government has no time to take care of this group of people hiding deep in the mountains and forests, or are they really powerless to do anything about these people?

Just after turning a corner, Lin Qiuer suddenly discovered a strange building. It stood tall among the trees and did not look like an ordinary house.

She pointed in the direction of the building and asked Lin Nanyue: "Fourth brother, what is that place?"

Lin Nanyue looked in the direction she pointed, and after a moment's silence, she answered, "That's the viewing platform. My mother went up to the viewing platform the night you left the village to collect herbs, and she hasn't come down since. We have to go back quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Nanyue's pace suddenly quickened a lot, almost twice as fast as before.

"Fourth brother, wait for me!" Lin Qiu'er was startled by his suddenly accelerated pace and couldn't help but shout.

Lin Nanyue didn't even turn her head back, and her figure continued to rush towards the viewing platform in the village.

Lin Qiuer gave a helpless smile, knowing that it would not be easy to catch up with him. But she still gritted her teeth, used her willpower to support her tired body, stared closely at Lin Nanyue's back, and chased him all the way to the bottom of the observation deck.

She supported her knees with her hands, breathing heavily, her back was already wet, and beads of sweat on her forehead were flowing like a waterfall.

When she raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, she suddenly saw Lin Nanyue standing quietly on the steps of the observation deck, and the elderly woman he was supporting with both hands.

Two strands of black and white hair were piled on top of her head, and two silver hairpins were inserted diagonally on the left and right sides of her hair. The tassels of the hairpins drooped gently, shining with silvery white light. A pair of bone-like nail-shaped earrings were worn on her earlobes, adding a bit of mystery and exoticism. She was only wearing a black dress, and the wide hem of the dress folded and dragged on the stairs, highlighting her skinny body.

Her eyes were deep and bright, like the brightest star in the night sky. She stared at Lin Qiuer quietly, as if she had been staring at her for a very long time.

Lin Qiu'er couldn't help but become nervous and didn't dare to move.

Lin Nanyue, who was standing next to the woman, also noticed the strange atmosphere. In his memory, no matter what his mother was doing in the past, as long as his little sister came back from collecting herbs, she would immediately put everything aside and come forward to ask about her well-being.

But today, she just stood there quietly, her eyes fixed on her little sister.

"You're finally here." An inexplicable expression appeared on the woman's old face, as if she was smiling but not smiling, and crying but not crying, as if all her emotions were poured into these few simple words.

Lin Qiu'er was shocked by the voice. She felt a chill rising from her coccyx and rushing to the top of her head.

She knew that this elderly woman must have realized that she was not the original owner.

"Can we find a place to talk?" Lin Qiu'er hoped to find a quiet place where she could have a more in-depth talk with her. After all, in this world, she was still nominally the daughter of this woman.

"Come with me to the observation deck." She turned to Lin Nanyue and said, "You stay downstairs. No one is allowed to disturb us before we come down." Then, she slowly climbed up the stairs to the observation deck. Her thin body seemed like she would fall down at the next second.

Lin Nanyue was confused by the conversation between his younger sister and his mother, but he still agreed to what his mother asked him to do. "Don't worry, mother. I'll be watching down there."

Lin Qiu'er received Lin Nanyue's worried look and knew that he cared about her. She turned around, took off the backpack behind her and handed it to him, winking playfully and saying, "Fourth brother, you have to help me take care of the backpack."

"Don't worry, Fourth Brother will keep an eye on it for you. The backpack will definitely not be lost." Lin Nanyue replied.

After the conversation with Lin Nanyue, Lin Qiuer took several deep breaths and tried to calm her turbulent emotions. She had a feeling that as long as she climbed up to the observation deck in front of her, many of the mysteries that troubled her would be solved.

The observation deck is built with wood, but it is coated with a thick layer of paint, probably to prevent insects and ants from eating it.

The traces left on it also testify that this is a place that has withstood the baptism of time.

Lin Qiuer speculated that the observation deck was about twenty meters high, standing in an open area on top of a high mountain, while other residential buildings were concentrated about thirty meters away from the observation deck.

She stepped up the stairs to the observation deck step by step, and each step seemed so heavy.

Finally, she climbed to the top of the observation deck and looked into the deep and distant eyes of the old woman. The woman sat in the center of the central totem, and her black clothes and outfit made her look even more mysterious.

Unfortunately, Lin Qiu'er was not some young girl who had never seen the world. She even guessed that she might be about the same age as the elderly woman in front of her. So she walked straight over, sat down three or four steps in front of the original owner's mother, and asked directly, "How do you know I'm not your daughter?"

Although her voice was not loud, it echoed particularly clearly in the quiet observation deck.

Ever since Lin Qiuer woke up and saw this strange place, she has been wondering why she came to this world and became the original owner? She clearly knew nothing, but she always felt that this woman should know everything.

The elderly woman didn't seem surprised that she asked this, but just looked at her deeply again.

Those eyes were filled with complex emotions, including confusion, sadness, and some things that Lin Qiuer couldn't understand.

"I was not sure at first, but from the moment you said the first word, I knew you were not my daughter." The woman looked deeply at Lin Qiu'er, with a complex expression in her eyes. "I feel fortunate because your arrival may bring us new hope, but I am more heartbroken because your arrival means her departure."

"What do you mean?" Lin Qiu'er was confused by the contradictory words, and her heart was filled with bewilderment and puzzlement.

"Because Qiu'er has only ever been able to act coquettishly and cry out in pain in front of me since she was a child, and now you are covered in wounds all over your body." The woman stared at the wounds on Lin Qiu'er's body and murmured in a low voice, "She must be in a lot of pain."

Hearing this, Lin Qiuer felt a lump in her stomach.

She knew the woman in front of her was telling the truth, but every word was like a sharp sword, piercing deep into her heart. It was also like something was pressing on her chest, making her breathless.

Her eyes couldn't help but become moist.
