The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

Xiao Wanyue picked a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains, including dandelions, shepherd's purse, and water celery. These are all rare delicacies!

She wanted to eat hot pot again, and when she came out, she did not forget to bring some hot pot base with her. She had used some at the villa and there were still a few left, so she was reluctant to throw them away and brought them here.

How can these wild vegetables be enough? How can I feel satisfied without meat? Haha, I will go to the street to buy meat today.

Just buy some chicken, pork, pork kidneys, duck, and some fish and you'll be good to go.

Buy a duck, so you can get duck intestines and duck blood, as well as fish meat. Buy the kind with fewer bones so you can make fish balls. If you have shrimp, that would be even better, so you can eat shrimp balls.

Just thinking about it makes me drool, she is such a foodie.

Spring is a season when all things grow, flowers bloom, birds sing, and everywhere is beautiful and full of hope.

She put the wild vegetables away, locked the door and went out. She did not forget to take her small backpack with her, which contained several kinds of medicinal herbs that could be exchanged for money. Although she had a lot of money, it did not prevent her from making money.

Money will eventually run out, so learning how to make money is a good habit.

Yunzhou is a place with simple folk customs. It has thirteen counties, and she lives in Liujia Village in Fengyuan County. Most of the villagers here have the surname Liu, hence the name Liujia Village. She is an outsider, and she can only live here thanks to her adoptive father.

When I got to the street, I found it was very narrow, but there were still a lot of people. There were people selling all kinds of snacks, vegetables, and cloth. It wasn't big, but it had everything. It was perfect for a leisurely life here.

There are houses with flowing water, curling smoke, beautiful mountains and clear water. What a magnificent picture of the beautiful mountains and rivers.

I once learned a ci poem by Liu Yong, Liu Sanbian, titled "Looking at the Sea Tide." It goes, "The southeast is a picturesque place, the capital of the Three Wus, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. Smoke-covered willows shroud painted bridges, wind-blown curtains and green screens shelter a hundred thousand households. Clouds and trees swirl around the embankment, raging waves roll in frost and snow, the natural chasm is boundless. The market is lined with pearls, and households are overflowing with silk and satin, competing in luxury. The overlapping hills of the lake are clear and picturesque, with autumn osmanthus and ten miles of lotus blossoms. Qiang flutes play in the clear sky, and lotus songs drift across the night. The fishermen and lotus-bearing children playfully return to the Phoenix Pond to boast."

Suddenly there was a strong contrast, one was prosperous, the other was peaceful and quiet. The prosperous place was like the capital. It was not that she did not like prosperity, but this prosperity might very well cost her life. Although the trajectory of her fate had changed drastically, she was still unwilling to do anything that was uncertain.

Alas, she was not happy at all. She felt that she might not be able to go back, and she didn’t know her own life experience. She had to start looking for her own life experience.

She separated from Zhou Mu when she came here. He should be able to find her adoptive father. If he finds out her own life experience, it should be easier to find out.

She went to the pharmacy first. The most famous pharmacy here was Jiren Pharmacy. The servants and the shopkeepers there were very kind. They would not look down on you because you were dressed poorly, nor would they refuse to treat you because you had no money. They allowed you to buy on credit and you could just collect the money for the medicine later. Therefore, this place had a very good reputation.

Many people come here to see a doctor and get medicine. There is also a person who knows about herbs and goes up the mountain to dig herbs to sell. The pharmacy will also buy them, and the price is very reasonable. The doctor's medical skills are also very good.

The first time Xiao Wanyue came to sell herbs, she received a warm welcome. It happened that when she arrived, there was an emergency patient who the doctor could not treat. Xiao Wanyue saw that the patient's condition was urgent, so she immediately treated the patient, and soon the patient recovered as normal.

The shopkeeper and the doctor looked at her in surprise and were determined to hire her as a doctor. However, she didn't want to travel so far every day, so the shopkeeper said, "How about this? If we encounter a patient like today and we can't treat him, we'll come to you. How about five taels of silver a month? What do you think?"

The shopkeeper really wanted to retain talented people. After all, a doctor with superb medical skills was rare. Five taels of silver was considered low, but he couldn't offer a higher price. This was the highest price he could offer.

The main purpose of my own pharmacy is to cure diseases and save lives, and of course to support my family.

Xiao Wanyue thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. She was putting her knowledge into practice and didn't care about the money. However, since the shopkeeper was like this, why could she refuse? If she said no, would this shopkeeper, who was in his thirties, cry? He looked so pitiful!

This matter was accomplished. Today she came to sell medicinal herbs and earned ten taels of silver. She saw a few patients before going to buy more materials. She first went to the place where chickens, ducks and fish were sold, and prepared to leave after selling them all.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the busiest part of the street, including the sound of a woman crying and a strong man beating and scolding. Xiao Wanyue quickly walked to where a large group of people had gathered.

Everyone around was whispering, "Hey, what's going on? She looks familiar. Isn't that Old Lady Zhang? She's a famous human trafficker in this area. She's selling people again today."

"Selling people, is this a human trafficker?" Xiao Wanyue couldn't help but complain in her heart. It was the first time she had seen this, but this human trafficker really deserved to die. You know, those people who were abducted and sold were from poor families, or there was no one at home and they were deceived. It would be okay if they were sold, but some people would have their limbs broken and beg on the streets. These people were really beasts and inhumane.

The human trafficker is already selling people. They are all girls in their teens, and the buyers are men in their twenties or thirties. It goes without saying what they use these women for, everyone can guess.

Xiao Wanyue had no way to stop him. She was rich, but if she bought it, she would easily be targeted. Moreover, the trafficker brought five or six strong men with him, so she couldn't help him even if she wanted to.

In a blink of an eye, only an ugly, skinny woman was left inside. This woman was only about thirteen or fourteen years old. She looked at the people around her with bright eyes, hoping that someone could help her escape from her suffering.

But when people around saw that she was so small, thin and ugly, no one wanted to buy her. The human trafficker was very angry. He had been looking for this ugly girl for several months, but no one wanted to buy her. He still wanted to feed her. He got angry just thinking about it. He had to sell this ugly girl today, as long as they paid.

Mrs. Zhang said: "This is the last maid. She is a little small, but she is useful. You can buy her home and raise her so that she can work and have babies. It is not expensive. This girl is very hardworking. Three taels of silver." After she made the price, she looked at the reactions of the crowd. Everyone looked at the woman on the ground with disgust.

They really looked down on it. It was so thin and ugly. Wouldn't it be a waste of food to buy it home? And they still wanted to sell it for three taels of silver.

A rough man said, "Mrs. Zhang, this ugly girl is so thin, and she wants three taels of silver. I won't even take her if you give her to me. I don't know if the child she gives birth to will be as ugly as her."

The crowd of onlookers agreed and thought it made sense, and they all dispersed. The main reason was that the woman was too ugly, and they were afraid that even if they bought her, they wouldn't even want to take a second look at her.

Old Mrs. Zhang got angry and slapped the woman on the ground, cursing at her.

Seeing that everyone had left and only one young man was left, Old Lady Zhang felt that there was still hope. As long as she could sell him, she would sell him at any price.

She excitedly walked over to Xiao Wanyue and said, "Sir, that girl is only one or two taels of silver. She's the cheapest one here. Although she's a little thin and ugly, she can still have children. How about buying her?"

Xiao Wanyue didn't say anything. She didn't expect that this old woman wanted to sell this girl to her. She was very angry and wanted to buy this poor girl.

Seeing that the young man in front of her was unmoved, Old Lady Zhang wondered if her offer was too low. She gritted her teeth and said, "Eight hundred coins, and you can take this girl away directly."

Xiao Wanyue looked at the woman, and the woman looked at her demandingly.

"Okay, since it's so cheap, I'll buy it. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Old Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "She's just a little thinner, but she's not sick. Don't worry, young master." After that, she accepted the eight hundred coins, immediately gave the indenture contract to Xiao Wanyue and left, fearing that Xiao Wanyue would go back on his word.

The woman tied to the ground also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Wanyue then looked at the girl on the ground and felt that she looked familiar!

Xiao Wanyue brought her home and bought her some clothes.

The two returned to the yard in silence.

Xiao Wanyue went to boil some water and let her take a bath, mainly because the girl was too dirty.

Zheng Tiaodi was a medical student and he recognized at first sight that the person in front of him was a woman, so he detoxified himself and took a bath without any worries.

As soon as she came out, Xiao Wanyue exclaimed: "Tiao Di!"
