Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

No matter how fast the servant's legs were, by the time the doctor came, Xiaoru had already died, following her child who had never opened his eyes.

The next day, Sun Sheng made a thin coffin and buried the body. He also asked his second brother to send 20 kilograms of food to Aunt Ru's home as an explanation.

When Sun Lao Er went to get food, Old Lady Sun refused to give it to him. She said to him, "When we bought her, we gave money to her family. Whether she lives or dies is our business. Why should we give her family food? Besides, her family has been living and eating for free in our house for such a long time. Now that Aunt Ru is gone, it's not appropriate for her family to live in our house any longer."

Sun Laoer had long been fed up with his mother who could not make ends meet and needed them to sell their carriage to exchange for food. Although it was unfilial to be disrespectful to one's own mother, his mother had made life worse and worse in the short period of less than half a year. She even sent the old servants away because they drank too much porridge. They were people who cared about their reputation. If this matter was spread out, they would not know how to laugh at them.

The second son of the Sun family had a bad look on his face, but Old Lady Sun held the key to the grain room at home and refused to open the door for him. He had no choice but to go find his eldest brother.

Sun Sheng went there in person, took the key and got the food, then gave it to his second brother, who then took the food and went to find the people from Lao Sheng's family.

Grandma Sun cried in the house with her hair disheveled, "What's the point of living? Even my son doesn't listen to me, and I have no grandchildren. I might as well die."

Sun Sheng ignored her and went straight to the study.

When the Sheng family received the food sent by the second son of the Sun family and learned that Xiaoru had been buried, Wang burst into tears.

But concubines are of low status, and their life and death depend on the will of their master. When Mr. Sheng saw the food in the bag, he knew that his days in the Sun family were over.

"Uncle Sun, give us a day to pack up. We will leave the Sun family tomorrow." said Grandpa Sheng.

The Sun family thought that the people of the old Sheng family were sensible. No matter what, Aunt Ru was someone else's child after all, and now she was dead, so they were willing to give them a day to pack their luggage, so they nodded in agreement.

After the second son of the Sun family left, Mr. Sheng said to Sheng Nuo, "Tell your wife to stop crying. Since you are a concubine, your life and death will depend on the master's will. It is not our turn to have a say in Xiaoru's life and death. Pack your luggage today and we will leave for the capital tomorrow."

Now the Sun family is hiding in a farm in the countryside. No matter how good the farm is, it is still the Sun family's territory.

They cannot go back to Shengjia Village now and can only go back after the turmoil is over. After thinking for a long time, Mr. Sheng felt that the provincial capital was the safest place, so he decided to go there first.

From the words and deeds of the second son of the Sun family, Mr. Sheng saw that the Sun family was eager to send him away, so he took the initiative to leave tomorrow. Rather than being kicked out of the house in an undignified manner, it is better to take the initiative and leave in a decent manner.

That day, Hu Yidao and Liu looked at Xiaobao lying motionless on the kang. The couple carried the child on their backs and ran towards Xiaolan's house, ignoring the starving refugees outside.

At this time, Liu couldn't care less about causing trouble for Xiaolan's family. Xiaobao was her only child. If she died, she would die. The child couldn't even drink the porridge because of the fever. He would spit out water. She and Hu Yidao were really at a loss. They remembered Xiaolan's ability. Maybe the little girl could help them.

Even if I can't help, it's better to have tried than not to have tried.

As for why her family didn't go to see a doctor, it was because the situation outside was too dangerous. Starving refugees were robbing houses every few days. All the clinics were closed and the doctors stopped seeing patients.

Fortunately, they had Hu Yidao with them. Although they met a few people who looked at them, no one came over. Liu fell down halfway, but Hu Yidao helped her up and dragged her to Xiaolan's house.

The door of Xiaolan's house was slammed loudly. The frightened Xiaolan family thought that refugees had come to rob them. The family carried bows and arrows. Xiaolan climbed up the escalator and looked down. She found that it was Hu Yidao's family, so she signaled Shengxuan to open the door.

When the door was opened, the family saw Hu Yidao and Liu holding Xiaobao and quickly let them in.

After listening to Liu's description of Xiaobao's symptoms, Xiaolan said to Liu, "Aunt, I don't know any medical skills, but I have some detoxifying herbs and a few bottles of Tusu wine at home. I can let Xiaobao take some. Do you think it's okay?"

Liu nodded repeatedly, her eyes red and tears falling.

Xiaolan saw that the family of three looked very weak, probably because they had not eaten enough recently. Xiaolan quickly winked at Zhang and asked her mother to cook some food.

Xiao Lan knew nothing about medicine, so she put some salt in the boiling water and gave it to Xiao Bao to drink. She then took off the child's clothes and burned them on the stove. Then she gave her a hot bath and asked her to change into her clothes.

After Xiaobao slowly opened her eyes, Xiaolan took some Tu Su wine and fed her a few mouthfuls, and then boiled some millet at home into porridge for her to drink.

We were busy until the evening. Maybe the Tu Su wine was really effective and Xiao Bao felt a little more energetic.

Seeing that her daughter was feeling better, Liu smiled at Hu Yidao. She was completely relaxed and fell asleep in Hu Yidao's arms.

When she woke up, she found that the family of three was placed in an empty room. Liu first looked at Xiaobao beside her and saw that she was sleeping soundly, and she was relieved instantly.

"Xiao Lan said that we should rest here tonight and talk about anything tomorrow. There is a bowl of bean porridge left for you on the table. Xiao Lan told you to eat it after you wake up." Hu Yidao said hurriedly when he saw Liu waking up.

"Ah?" Liu looked at the moonlight in the room and suddenly realized that it was already night. She immediately came to her senses, patted Hu Yidao's thigh and said, "You didn't cause any trouble to me last night, did you?"

Hu Yidao said with a bitter face, "I ate five bowls of bean rice in the evening..."

Liu's hair stood on end when she heard this. "Do you think this is our home? Even in our home, I've never seen you eat like this." After saying that, she hit him several times in anger.

The next morning, Liu and Hu Yidao woke up early and went to the kitchen to help make breakfast. Xiaobao was not fully recovered yet, and they were worried about taking the child home now, so they could only stay at Xiaolan's house for a few more days.

"Don't eat too much for breakfast. You have to think about other people's difficulties. What kind of situation is this now? Who can eat like you? They are kind-hearted, so please give them some leeway. Don't be so honest." Liu muttered to Hu Yidao in a low voice.
