The general kneels on the washboard again

That night, Yue Niang had a strange dream.

In the dream, Yue Niang seemed to be watching a movie. The protagonists in the movie were all people around Yue Niang, and the story was divided into several chapters.

The first chapter is about Jiang Yunxiao, a young dandy, but his family encounters an unexpected change. A traitor appears among the Duke's subordinates and dies on the battlefield. The Duke's wife goes to the border alone to bring back her husband's body.

On the way back, he was unfortunately ambushed. In order to avoid being captured, he committed suicide beside the Duke.

Jiang Yunxiao lost his parents and inherited the title of Duke, but was tricked away by the covetous second wife.

From then on, Jiang Yunxiao never recovered and lived a life of drunkenness and debauchery in the place of fireworks. Finally, he died on a cold day with heavy snow.

The second chapter is about Arya, who was sold to a brothel by her brother who was addicted to gambling, and finally committed suicide by hanging herself one winter.

The dream brought Li An to a time when his father passed away and no one in the village came to help.

Zhang Lan'er despised the poor and loved the rich, so she became a concubine of a wealthy businessman. Her childhood sweetheart's whereabouts were unknown, and when she finally found him, he was in a brothel.

The accumulation of these blows gradually twisted his heart. In the end, he passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer, but after being a corrupt official for 18 days, he was exiled to Yingzhou Island.

The third chapter is about Zhao Xiaoming, Ruoyan and Wen Shu.

Although Zhao Xiaoming lived a long life, he was illiterate and lived in poverty all his life. He had never even left Qingshi Town.

That winter, Ruoyan became an unknown frozen corpse that was cleared away, and the mass grave was her final destination.

Wen Shu found evidence that Ding Jingen had deceived her, and went to Ding's house to make a scene. The weak woman was beaten so badly that she was forced to leave Qingshi Town.

The fourth chapter is about Yan Qi and his companions who lived on the edge of a knife. They were tortured to death by the caravan and their bodies were thrown into the depths of the desert.

There is no Yue Niang in any of the stories, but they are all so real that they seem to have happened.

The scene changed, and Yue Niang was on a shallow pool in the water. The water was covered with thin ice, her feet were on grass that had just sprouted, and in front of her was a frozen tree.

Yue Niang felt that this place was particularly familiar and reached out to touch the tree.

A faint voice came: "Long time no see, Yue Niang."

This familiar voice?

When I first arrived, there was the strange old man who called himself Tiandao.

"Who are you?" Yue Niang asked in the vast surroundings.

The voice came from far away and approached: "I am the Way of Heaven."

In the blink of an eye, a white-haired old man was standing next to Yue Niang.

His entire body, from clothes to shoes, from hair to beard, was completely white.

Yue Niang was startled: "Where did you come from?"

Like an old naughty boy, Heaven said: "I come from where I came from."

Yue Niang tried to believe it: "You were the one who showed me those things just now?"

Tiandao shrugged mischievously: "Besides me, who else has this ability?"

Yue Niang curled her lips: "Is the Heavenly Dao also narcissistic?"

"The Way of Heaven also needs to look in the mirror."

"What were those fragments just now?" Although Yue Niang had already guessed it, she still didn't dare to think about it.

"Just as you thought, this is what they deserved to end up like." Tian Dao pretended to be profound.

But Yue Niang was deeply poisoned by the conspiracy theories of fantasy dramas: "So I changed their fate?"

Tiandao stroked his beard and said, "Isn't the purpose of having you here to change their fate? Otherwise, why would I go through so much trouble to have you come?"

"Ah?" This caught Yue Niang off guard.

Tiandao sat down on the grass and said, "You sit down too and listen to me slowly."

Yue Niang also sat down beside him, and he slowly began to speak: "The Jiang family is full of loyal and brave people, but their current king has not recognized their treasures and has allowed them to wither. Their ancestors once helped me a lot and have since asked me for a favor. I couldn't refuse, so I traveled all over the world to find someone who could change their fate."

"Please save their family's lives?"

Tiandao glanced at Yue Niang, hesitant to speak: "I guess so."

"But what does this have to do with me?" Yue Niang stood up excitedly. She really didn't understand.

Tiandao motioned her to sit down: "Don't get excited, don't get excited, this is Fu Yueniang's own choice."

Yue Niang naturally knew that the "Fu Yue Niang" mentioned by Tiandao was the original owner.

"How does she choose?"

Tiandao showed Yue Niang a modern scene. It was snowing heavily and you couldn't see clearly more than two meters away. A middle-aged woman wrapped tightly was tiptoeing to place a baby at the door of the orphanage.

I saw a red birthmark flash across the baby's forehead.

The scene ends, Tiandao points to the water's edge, and Yue Niang goes to the water's edge.

Her face was reflected in the water, and a red birthmark on her forehead flashed by.

"That girl fell into the water and was injured on her forehead. I covered the mark for you."

Yue Niang remained silent.

Tiandao asked Yueniang again, "Do you still want to go back to your time?"

Yue Niang hesitated. She had no family or friends in that place, but she had made so many friends here, and she still had to avenge her grandmother.

Finally, Yue Niang shook her head firmly: "No."

Tiandao was happy: "That's good. I will plant three seeds for you to use in the future."

"What seeds?" The old man was puzzled.

He suddenly produced a hoe from nowhere, dug three holes under the dead tree, and placed the seeds in them one by one.

As he placed it, he said, "This is a love seed. Look, it's almost sprouting."

"This is an ability seed. You'll know what ability it is when you need it. It's random, and I don't know what it will produce yet."

"This is a wish seed, closely related to your love root. It needs to be nurtured with good deeds. Eliminating harm for the people is also a good deed."

Yue Niang rejected this love root very much: "What love root? I don't need a love root, I just want a beautiful belly."

Tiandao carefully covered the soil and looked at the irritable Yue Niang again: "Okay, girl, take good care of yourself. I will come to find you again."

Yue Niang woke up from her dream. There was a sound of barking dogs outside. It was probably around three o'clock in the morning. The sleepiness overwhelmed her previous dream and she fell into a deep sleep.

Maybe it was because of that dream that Yue Niang didn’t sleep well. When she woke up, she felt a throbbing sensation in her temples and remembered last night’s dream again.

Just as she was recollecting the past, Ruoyan interrupted her thoughts: "Yue Niang, there's a man outside who said he wants to work as an accountant at Pinmingju."

Following Ruoyan out, he looked at the man and said, "Hey, Gu Xiufu?"

Gu Xiufu's long robe couldn't hide his thin figure. He looked at Yue Niang and smiled awkwardly: "I heard that Pinming House was looking for an accountant, so I thought of applying for the position."

Yue Niang suddenly saw a soft white mist floating around him. She thought she was dazzled, so she rubbed her eyes and the mist disappeared. She didn't pay much attention to it.

"I'm sorry, Master Gu, but now Master Wen often goes to Pinmingju. I need to ask her opinion."

Wen Shu happened to come out of Ruoyan's room and saw the whole scene. She said generously, "Of course you can. Everything before was just a misunderstanding."

After being immersed in work for a period of time, Wen Shu had long since separated the two identities of Ding Jingen and Gu Xiu Fu.

Besides, the scumbag has already gotten his comeuppance, so there is really no need to hold on to someone who has no choice.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiufu leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Master Wen."

Pinmingju really needs a full-time accountant now. Once I leave, Ruoyan will be unable to handle the work.

After a simple tidy up, the few of them went to Pinmingju.

Little did they know that someone had already been waiting here.
