Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Dongqing led a man in a coarse cloth jacket over and was chatting with Manager Shen.

Not long after, Manager Shen came to report:

"Boss, Liu Laoshi's wife and many people from the village went to the rattan mat weaving workshop. I heard they are short of workers..."

"To weave rattan mats?"

Wang Jinyi's eyes lit up and he asked,

"Where is the workshop? Can they see the mats?"

Manager Shen: "They just left a while ago and haven't come back yet. The village chief said that as long as the Liu family is willing, they can go with us!"

Wang Jinyi understood what was going on, turned to look at Liu Laoshi, and said in a slower tone, "Brother Liu, are you and your family willing to come to my shop?

You all should discuss it and decide whether to follow me!"

Liu Cheng clutched his cotton robe tightly with his fingers and asked quietly, "What kind of village are you from? Where is it? What's it called?"

Wang Jinyi looked at the boy who was a little taller than her and introduced herself.

"I'm the owner of Tai Sheng Rice Shop, you guys..."

Before Wang Jinyi could finish her words, Liu Cheng raised his voice and asked:

"You're the owner of Tai Sheng Rice Shop? You mean the Tai Sheng that has shops all over Da Qi? The Tai Sheng that helps scholars open private schools?! You? You're the owner?!"

Wang Jinyi hadn't expected Liu Cheng to know this. He smiled but said nothing. Manager Shen and Dong Qing both looked at the boss with question marks on their faces. Zhao Chunming answered for the boss:

"Exactly! This is our boss, the boss of Tai Sheng!"

"You? You...actually..."

Liu Cheng's eyes were red with excitement. "Dad! The private school I attended was built by Tai Sheng! The teacher said that it was the daughter of the Wang family who built the school with the money she earned from her dowry shop. The teacher told us to remember - Tai Sheng Rice Shop!"

Liu Laoshi was stunned where he was, even forgetting to cough. It took him a long time to react. He knelt down politely on the spot, hands on the ground, and said, "Boss... You are a great man. I am lucky to meet you..."

He was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.

Kind and simple people always remember the good things about others!

Wang Jinyi had the same comments in her mind as Liu Laoshi, not about herself, but about Liu Laoshi and his wife.

She raised her hand and ordered, "Zhao Chunming, help him up. You and your wife are the real philanthropists. I'm just doing my best! Since you know about me and Tai Sheng, let's discuss whether you're willing to go with me to Tai Sheng."

Daya put her hands in the sleeves of her cotton gown and muttered softly:

"Dad, I want to go with you. I want Mom to live in a warm house too."

Liu Laoshi looked at his daughter, then at the carriage piled high with supplies. His eyes turned red with mixed emotions. "Let's go! Let's go with the boss!"

Wang Jinyi immediately ordered:

"Have them explain the situation to the villagers and greet the neighbors. Manager Shen, you stay and distribute the grain to the villagers with the village chief."

"Zhao Chunming supervises the handling! Leave half of the personnel behind."

After Liu Laoshi made arrangements with the villagers, he boarded the carriage with his two children. Wang Jinyi and his group headed for Luanzhou City overnight, finally arriving the following afternoon.

Liu Laoshi was sent directly to the clinic. Liu Cheng and Liu Daya had to accompany their father, and Tai Sheng left someone to accompany him throughout the process.

After settling the Liu family, Wang Jinyi returned to the Taisheng Luanzhou City office. He was discussing with Zhao Chunming about finding Mrs. Liu when suddenly there was a noise outside the courtyard gate.

Hearing the sound, Wang Jinyi lifted the door curtain and looked out. She saw an old lady with gray hair and blood-stained clothes kneeling in the yard, with blood still oozing from her back. When their eyes met, the old lady bowed to Wang Jinyi and said:

"Miss, I finally found you!"

Wang Jinyi was stunned. Looking at the old lady's familiar yet unfamiliar face, he frowned and asked, "Old lady, you got the wrong person, didn't you? I'm not your lady."

Yuqing raised her head, her eyes filled with anxiety and a bit of sobbing:

"Miss, I'm Yuqing. I followed the path you took when you fell into the water from the mountain ridge... I'm sorry for the hardship you've suffered!"

Zhao Chunming shouted:

“Is this a place for watching fun?”

The door curtains of each room were lowered, and the yard was completely silent.

Wang Jinyi: "Yuqing, come in and talk!"

Yuqing endured it and stood up and walked into the room. Zhao Chunming followed her to the door and called out anxiously:

"My boss."

Wang Jinyi then remembered that this was the first time they had met, so she introduced them.

"This is my personal bodyguard, Yuqing. Yuqing, this is Zhao Chunming, from Taisheng..."

"I know. He's Zhu Yu's second brother and the chief financial officer of Tai Sheng."

Wang Jinyi was obviously surprised. How could this be possible? Yuqing actually knew Tai Sheng’s management personnel so clearly!

Zhao Chunming was also surprised, but when he saw that his boss looked calm, he stood outside the door and kept watch with full vigilance.

In the room, Wang Jinyi hurriedly supported Yuqing who was kneeling on the ground. Looking at the blood scabs in her hair and the bloodstains on her back, a bitter feeling welled up in her heart.

"Is everyone okay? How did you get out? How are you feeling?"

With the help of the young lady, Yuqing stood up tremblingly, and took the initiative to sit in the nearest seat. She took out a small cloth roll from her arms and slowly unfolded it. It turned out to be the clothes that Wang Jinyi changed into in Hewan Village when she fell into the water.

Yuqing's trembling hands instantly stung Wang Jinyi.

"Miss, I found this in Qinghe Village... I thought Miss..."

Yuqing choked with sobs, tears streaming down her face.

"Miss, I'm relieved to see that you are safe and sound!"

Wang Jinyi approached and gently turned Yuqing's hair to check the wound. He only saw blood but could not find the wound. Just as he was wondering, Yuqing said weakly:

"Miss, can you get me something to eat first? I haven't eaten in two days."

Wang Jinyi: "What's the matter with the wound on your head?"

Yuqing: "It's used to deceive people. The injuries you see are all fake!"

"Tell me what happened?!"

Wang Jinyi pushed open the door while asking, and whispered to Zhao Chunming to prepare the meal. Zhao Chunming came back with a tray with tea and two plates of snacks.

She took it personally and whispered, "Stay here and don't let anyone get close!"

After a while, the food was brought in. Yuqing ate with big mouthfuls in the room, while Wang Jinyi quietly drank tea with her.

Yuqing swallowed a mouthful of porridge and said, "That day, as soon as I reached the dining hall kitchen, I heard the sound of tiles in the backyard..."

Six dark shadows were crawling on the eaves, and Yuqing was clinging to the wall, motionless.

Wang Jinyi's teacup rested at her lips, her mood fluctuating as things developed.

Six black shadows stood up and walked in different directions. Yuqing held the flying knife tightly in his sleeve and walked into the kitchen along the shadow of the eaves.

After getting used to the darkness in the room, he groped in the dark to find lamp oil and the offering oil and poured them all on the wood. He took out a fire starter and blew it. Suddenly, a golden light flashed before his eyes. Yuqing raised his hand suddenly and the fire starter flew out.

The man on the other side blocked it with a knife, but with a clang, the fire stick flew away without a trace.

Yuqing's Qingfeng sword stabbed out from the side, and the man turned over and flew back in the air. Yuqing exclaimed in his heart that he had met a master.

But I heard someone reciting the Buddha's words faintly:

"Amitabha, good, good!"

Yuqing paused after a moment's pause and asked softly, "Are you a guard? Or a Zen master? I mean no offense!"
