Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

They dug a hole in the ground, put the eggs in it, covered it with a layer of soil, piled branches on top and lit a fire.

"Sister, is this the only mountain here?"

"We often come to this mountain. There is another one to the north, but not many people go there."

"Why?" Xiao Lan was full of surprise. There must be a lot of good things in the mountains where no one has ever been.

"Second sister, I know. I heard from the old ladies in the village that some people have gone into that mountain, but not many have been able to walk out safely, so gradually no one went there anymore."

Xiao Lan questioned what Xiao Wen said, the authenticity of this matter is questionable. She suspected that Beishan was a smokescreen deliberately spread by someone in order to make a fortune.

She must go and see Beishan. She has many ideas of ways to make money, but no matter how good the ideas are, they require some start-up capital.

"Xiao Lan, the eggs are cooked." Xiao Ting moved the fire to the side and called her.

"Xiao Lan, eat quickly." The brother and sister handed the egg to her.

Xiao Lan was very touched. Since she woke up, she had been cared for by her family. All the delicious food at home was eaten by her alone.

The tip of her nose was red, and her vision was blurred. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and said with a smile, "Big sister, Xiaowen, let's eat together."

The brother and sister accepted the eggs, but they didn't want the bird eggs at all.

After the three of them finished eating and sat for a while, they planned to go down the mountain.

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Lan? I heard that you were murdered? Isn't this alive and well?"

"Yeah, I heard that too."

These were children from nearby villages who came to the mountain to play. Xiao Lan's face became increasingly unhappy as she listened to their chatter. Was she murdered? She was shocked to hear this. Who would murder a child who was only ten years old?

Xiao Ting is a caring person. "My second sister is fine, don't talk nonsense."

A group of children laughed and said, "I'm glad Xiaolan is okay. If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future."

"Who told you that I was murdered?" Xiao Lan asked in a puzzled manner.

"There is a teahouse next to the official road in town. This news came from there."

Xiao Lan's face became even uglier. She originally thought that the little girl had hit her head because she was too playful. But now it seems that things are not as she imagined.

Xiaoting and Xiaowen were also stunned for a while.

"Xiao Lan, let's go back." The brother and sister held her hands tightly, not letting go for a moment.

"Sister, Xiaowen, don't say anything about this when you get home. Tell our parents when we get home tonight."

Xiaoting and Xiaowen nodded solemnly.

You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. After she was injured, Cui refused to give her money for medical treatment, and her parents would not agree no matter how much they begged. In the end, her mother took out the dowry from the bottom of the box, and she was able to save her life.

After dinner, Xiaolan and her family returned to the west wing.

The three siblings closed the doors and windows and ran to Shengxuan and Zhang's room.

Her mother had just taken out her needle and thread, wanting to mend the children's clothes. "Why are you three here together? Did you have fun outing today?" Zhang asked with a smile.

Sheng Xuan was making a fire underground. The kang was a little cold at night, so adding some firewood would make it warmer and more comfortable to sleep.

Xiaolan winked at Xiaowen, and Xiaowen understood and quickly called his father over.

"Kid, you are so mysterious. What's the matter?" Her father said as he lifted the door curtain and went into the inner room.

The three of them told the conversation they had with the group of children on the mountain today.

After hearing this, the couple looked unhappy. Sheng Xuan told them not to tell anyone about this matter, and then let them go back to sleep.

The next day after breakfast, the family went to the tea stall in town.

This tea stall provides water for passers-by to rest. The tea used is not of the best quality, but either large tea leaves or tea foam. A pot costs a copper coin, and refills of water are available.

The family of five ordered a pot of tea and found a table to sit down. Sheng Xuan was about to ask when he heard the people at the next table talking animatedly...

"It has been spread for a long time. I don't know how, but the girl from Shengjia Village is alive again. This thing can't be accomplished."

"The little girl from the Sheng family is really lucky. I heard that it was Mr. Sheng who did it himself."

"This scholar is not an ordinary person. He is very cruel. After all, it is a life, and it is a niece's life. From what he said, the old couple also knew about this."

"Then should he return the deposit he received before? I heard it was three hundred taels, and there will be more after the deal is done..."

"Doesn't that mean the Sun family will continue to look for people?"

"I guess so. His youngest son is only a few days away, and his family is in a hurry to do this."

"What a crime."

"If the King of Hell wants him to die at three o'clock in the morning, who dares to keep him alive past five o'clock? No matter how rich you are, it will be useless."

Sheng Xuan's face turned blue, and Zhang was shaking all over, unable to hold the teacup.

Xiaolan, Xiaoting and Xiaowen clenched their fists in anger.

The richest and most famous family in Dafeng County is the Sun family. Their youngest son is a sickly person who will not live long. Every year, their family spends a huge amount of money to keep him alive. It is said that their family has invited several doctors from the capital to see him, and they all said that the son will not live past twelve. This year, he is exactly twelve.

It turned out that she didn't have an accident, but was harmed by her own uncle. Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Cui also knew about this.

Why kill her? It must be for burial with her. In this era, it is not uncommon for wealthy families to arrange ghost marriages for unmarried children who died of illness!

She didn't know how Mr. Sheng and the first wife divided the money that was exchanged for her life, but this matter was too horrifying for her. This was not human trafficking, but murder and selling of life.

This explains why, before she got into trouble, the Sheng family came back during no festival, and they have been living in the old house, not in a hurry to go back to the city. Could it be that they have not given up yet? Still want to take advantage of the opportunity?

This also explains why, no matter how much her parents begged, Cui refused to give her money for medical treatment, but was eager to bury her.

Xiao Lan thought this through and bit her lips tightly, feeling as if she was in an ice cellar. She didn't know how many other people in the Sheng family knew about this, agreed to it, and facilitated it. There were so many girls in the Sheng family, why did they choose her? If she hadn't accidentally traveled through time, the fate of this little girl might have been played out according to their script.

There are six girls in the family, including Xiaoru and Chunhua who are slightly older than her. The eldest brother Sheng must be reluctant to part with his own daughter, and he dare not touch Chunhua; the girls of the second and fourth brothers are three years younger than her, so their age may not be suitable; in the end, she was chosen probably because they thought she was of the right age and her parents were honest and easy to deceive, and her sister rarely went out, so it would be difficult to target her.

"Her father..." Zhang fell off the stool and collapsed to the ground.
