Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine

Seeing that Old Lady Cheng might know her life story, Li Xiuxiu stopped hiding it and took out the jade pendant she had been wearing around her neck.

Old Lady Cheng looked at the jade pendant, which was of excellent quality, crystal clear, and engraved with the Chinese character "Li", and said excitedly: "Yes, you are Jinxiu, 'Li Jinxiu'. This jade pendant was carved by a famous master craftsman from Yubaozhai in the capital because your mother accidentally got a piece of good jade.

I made two identical pieces, one for you and one for your elder brother. Your mother kept the remaining material and said that she would carve new patterns for your children when you had them. I helped your mother choose this pattern.

Li Xiuxiu's eyes were filled with tears and she choked and cried out.

Yun Qingsong wiped Li Xiuxiu's tears and comforted her softly: "Xiuxiu, don't cry. You should be happy that you have found your family."

"It's a lucky thing for this child. He fell from such a high place and got hung on the tree, and happened to meet Qingsong passing by there. Otherwise, if no one passed by one day later, I might have..." Yunhai was hesitant to speak, but everyone understood what he meant.

Yunhai paused for a moment and continued, "When Qingsong carried Xiuxiu back with wounds all over her body, I thought she would not make it. She was covered in wounds and fractures, and her body was badly injured. It was only because of her strong will to survive and Qingsong's careful care that she recovered after more than a year."

"Dad, it was all thanks to you, mom, and my second uncle and aunt. You gave me all the good medicines in your house. That year, you used all the money that our family and my second uncle's family had saved over the years to buy medicine for me. Otherwise, how could I have recovered?"

Yun Duo was moved when she heard this, "So that's why Dad and Grandpa took such good care of Second Grandpa's family. Although Second Grandpa had already separated from the family, he still took out money to buy medicine for Mom. You know, Mom was still a stranger at that time. She remembered this kindness from Second Grandpa's family."

Madam Li took Li Xiuxiu's hand and sat down. "Although you have suffered a disaster, you are lucky to have met good people like the Yun family. Although you don't have luxurious clothes and delicious food, you and your wife love each other and have two children. Your family is so harmonious. If your parents and your brother knew, they would be very relieved."

"Madam, are my parents in good health? I have lost my memory and don't remember anything about my family. Can you tell me about it?"

Madam Cheng said in a gentle voice, "Jinxiu, just call me Aunt Feng. You have always called me that before. I was the guest of honor at your coming-of-age ceremony!"

Li Xiuxiu nodded and called softly: "Aunt Feng."

Madam Cheng nodded and continued, "When you were ten years old, your father received an imperial decree to guard Nanjing. Your mother was afraid that you would suffer at the border because you were too young, so she didn't take you with her. She entrusted you to your grandmother, and you lived with your grandmother and aunt.

Your aunt is ten years older than you. She was betrothed to the eldest son of the then Vice Minister of War. The day before her wedding when she was sixteen, your father discovered that the eldest son had a mistress and a two-year-old son. As soon as the scandal broke out, your father decided to cancel the marriage. From then on, your aunt became resistant to getting married and resolved not to marry for the rest of her life.

After your parents and brothers left the capital, your grandmother brought your aunt and you to live in the general's mansion in the capital.

You were fifteen years old and had your coming-of-age ceremony. Because your father was injured, your mother couldn't make it back, so she wrote to you and I helped your grandmother arrange it.

After your birthday, you begged your grandmother to let you go see your parents because you missed them and were worried about your father's injury. Your grandmother was worried about you going alone, so she hired an escort agency and arranged a team of guards to escort you and your aunt to the border.

Unexpectedly, you were attacked on the way. When your father received the news and asked the troops to rush over, the escort agency and the guards had all sacrificed their lives to protect you. Your aunt suffered a serious head injury and became nearly dead, but you were nowhere to be found.

Your parents and brother have been sending people to look for you for the past few years. Because your father is the commander-in-chief of the Zhennan Army and cannot leave at will, the task of finding you fell on your eldest brother Li Jinhuai. When your teacher was still in office, he also sent people to look for your whereabouts. "

Cheng Zhiyuan recalled and continued in a heavy tone: "Back then, your father caught the leader of that gang of bandits. They confessed that they wanted to kidnap you to southern Xinjiang to threaten your father. When they were fighting with the guards you brought with you, you were kidnapped by a group of unidentified people. Later, the clues were cut off and we couldn't find any trace of you.

But since you are here, it is very likely that someone in the North took you away to the North, and you escaped somehow and came here to be rescued by my disciple. No wonder your father has not received any threatening letters."

Madam Cheng also came back to her senses from the joy of seeing an old friend. "It's also my fault that I have lived in Yunjia Village for ten years and never walked around the village. Otherwise, I would have recognized Jinxiu a long time ago. If I had recognized her earlier, your mother wouldn't have suffered so much mental torture from losing her daughter for so many years. I heard that her eyes were almost blinded from crying. Your grandmother was taken to Nanjing by your father, but she couldn't stand the shock and passed away within two years."

After saying that, she took off a jasper green bracelet from her wrist and put it on Li Xiuxiu's wrist, "Jinxiu, this bracelet is for you, just like it is a gift from the master's wife to the disciple's wife. When we settle down in the south, the aunt will prepare a generous gift to fill in your makeup."

Li Xiuxiu accepted the bracelet and said softly: "Aunt Feng, this bracelet is already very valuable. I will accept it, but you don't need a generous gift. My children are already at the age of marriage, and if you put makeup on me again, people will laugh at you.

Speaking of the children, Old Lady Cheng gave Qiuxiang a look, and Qiuxiang gave the red envelopes she had prepared to the four brothers and sisters. Cuisheng said, "This is the red envelope that the old lady prepared for the young masters and young ladies."

The brothers and sisters thanked him in unison!
