Mu Qingcheng slept until she woke naturally. Looking at the bright light coming through the window, she knew she was up late again. It wasn't her fault; she'd been a sleepover kid since she was little. When she was little, her mother would make breakfast, her brother would wake her up, and her father would take her and her brother to school. To prevent her from staying in bed, her brother racked his brains and used every trick in his power to deal with her habit.

Now that no one was calling her to get up, Mu Qingcheng rolled around in bed, hugging the quilt. She didn't want to get up, but her stomach was growling. If she didn't get up, she might become the first time traveler in history to die of starvation in bed.

Remembering her mission as a time traveler, she overcame all difficulties and finally pulled herself out of bed.

She sat up and saw a pair of pink embroidered shoes on her footstool. Hey! Where did these shoes come from? She had clearly put her pair of designer sneakers on her footstool before going to bed! When did she change into a pair of pink embroidered shoes?

The embroidered shoes were obviously new. The soles were made of hand-woven thousand-layer soles covered with a layer of soft cowhide. The uppers were embroidered with a pattern of magpies climbing branches. The embroidery was very exquisite, but the color was not to her liking.

Mu Qingcheng put on the shoes barefoot and walked around on the ground. They were quite comfortable and the size was just right.

But what about her sneakers? Could they have been taken? Her shoes were clearly not from this era. Would they cause trouble if they were taken? What should I do?

Mu Qingcheng hurriedly rummaged through the basket, poured out all the fruits, and turned it upside down. There was only a purse at the bottom of the basket, and the money in the purse was not missing a penny.

But her flight suit—it was gone.

Mu Qingcheng slumped on the ground and calmed down for a while. He thought that Yun Qing was the only one who did this. No one else knew that she had such strange clothes. Besides, what thief would steal a piece of tattered clothes instead of money?

Mu Qingcheng calmed down and put on her new clothes. The pink cotton dress made her face look like a rosy blossom, and the color was quite beautiful.

She sat in front of the dressing mirror and began to comb her hair. The comb was newly bought by the boss lady yesterday. The boss lady also thoughtfully bought her a few colorful hairbands.

Mu Qingcheng combed her hair, thinking back to the embarrassing moment last night when a soap nut got tangled in her hair. She found it hilarious, and it was no wonder Yun Qing laughed so hard that she didn't even care about her image. However, the pure natural green plant shampoo was indeed good, leaving her hair very smooth after washing.

Mu Qingcheng's hair would be considered long and flowing in modern times, but in ancient times, if it didn't reach her waist, it would be too short. Yesterday, when she entered the city, she heard people talking about her hairstyle. She also knew that in ancient times, women's hairstyles could not be casually combed.

What hairstyle should she choose? She was in a dilemma.

Fortunately, braiding is a girl's nature, and who doesn't have a dream of playing a fairy hero in ancient costume? Mu Qingcheng and her bestie Song Xiaoran have cosplayed ancient costumes many times. They watched hair-do videos together and studied various hairstyles for ancient costumes.

She quickly styled her hair into a bun, tied pink hairbands on both sides, and let the long hairbands flow behind her ears, so that no one would notice that her hair was short. Although she didn't have any jewelry, this outfit also enhanced her beauty. With her delicate facial features, she looked even more playful and cute.

Mu Qingcheng walked out of the room and found that the sun was already high in the sky. The yard was quiet and Yun Qing's door was wide open.

"Brother, have you had breakfast?"

Just as Mu Qingcheng was about to enter the house, she was stopped by Doctor Ma.

"Do you understand the rules? No girl would just casually sneak into a man's room. You don't care about your reputation, but I still have my dignity!"

Mu Qingcheng frowned and said, "I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for my brother, what does it have to do with you!"

Doctor Ma blocked the door and refused to let her in: "No matter who you ask, boys and girls cannot sit together after the age of seven. That's the rule. Even siblings are not allowed."

Mu Qingcheng was furious. She had never met such a disgusting person before. "Oh! How strange! I heard that Doctor Ma was drunk and sleeping on the street every day, eating and drinking, and refusing to pay for other people's drinks. You are so morally corrupt, and you dare to accuse me of not knowing the rules."

Mu Qingcheng put her hands on her hips and angrily said to Doctor Ma: "Where do you get the nerve to do that?"

"You, you, you! You are so unreasonable! I have been wandering the world for so many years, but I have never seen a wild girl like you who likes to make trouble so much."

"Haha! Am I being unreasonable or are you taking advantage of your age to criticize me so early in the morning? I've never seen an old man as disrespectful as you."

"Am I disrespectful to my elders...? I'm just giving you some good advice, don't be ungrateful."

"Do you have any good intentions? My cousin was nearly dead yesterday, and you didn't even bother to save him. Forget good intentions. You don't even have the heart of a doctor. You're just a charlatan pretending to be crazy and stupid...!"

"you you you……!"

“I, I, I…! What’s going on? Tell me…!”

Just as the two people were arguing fiercely, a burst of coughing sounds came from the room.

Mu Qingcheng and Doctor Ma stopped talking at the same time, both of them listening attentively.

"Cough cough cough... Is... is... anyone?" A weak voice came from the house.

Mu Qingcheng's heart tightened. This sound... Could it be that Xiao Hei had woken up? She pushed Doctor Ma aside and rushed into the room, then turned around and closed the door, locking Doctor Ma out.

Mu Qingcheng ignored Doctor Ma's angry shouting outside the door. She couldn't let Xiao Hei, who knew nothing, reveal their identities.

Mu Qingcheng knew Yun Qing was not in the room, otherwise why would she not come out after hearing her quarrel with the old man? She didn't have time to ask where Yun Qing was and ran to Xiao Hei's bed.

"Xiao Hei, you're awake... You're really awake..."

Lying on the couch, Xiao Hei opened his hazy eyes and looked at Mu Qingcheng cautiously. His professional instinct led him to observe his surroundings. This was an ordinary room, with only this girl in it.

He began to wonder who she was and where he was.

"Xiao Hei! Do you still remember me?"

Xiao Hei looked at the girl carefully. She looked so familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.

His mind was in a state of confusion. He struggled, but his entire body ached, especially his chest, which pierced his heart with every movement. The pain stimulated his brain, and a series of thrilling images flooded into his mind.

"It's you...!" Xiao Hei's voice was hoarse and excited, he remembered!

He remembered how he had fled, carrying his master on his back, but he was severely injured and exhausted, and he felt he was dying. It didn't matter if he died, but what about his master? His master had lost all five senses, and without someone to take care of him, he couldn't move a single step. In this vast mountain, he would either starve to death or be devoured by wild beasts.

But he knew he was about to die, so he finally crawled to the edge of the pool and tried to fill his master's water bag with water. This was the last thing he could do before he died.

Unexpectedly, he lost consciousness as soon as he reached the edge of the pond. Later, he felt someone feeding him water, and he struggled to wake up. Seeing that it was a girl, he happily grasped the last straw and entrusted his master to her.

Is the master dead now? Or alive?

"Master...he...he...?" His voice trembled and he didn't dare to ask, for fear of getting an answer he couldn't accept!

Mu Qingcheng sighed, lamenting that workers in this era were really working for their bosses with their lives. Little did she know that her sigh almost cost Xiao Hei his life.

“Cough cough cough! The master…he…cough cough cough…”

Mu Qingcheng knew he had misunderstood, and hurriedly gave him a sip of water to let him breathe. "Who said your master was dead? Yun Qing is fine! But you almost died."

Xiao Hei's lifeless face suddenly lit up: "Master is not dead? Girl... don't lie to me...!"

"Why would I lie to you? Have you forgotten? I went to the cave you pointed out to me just before you passed out..."

Mu Qingcheng told Xiao Hei about their experience in the mountains. Xiao Hei looked at Mu Qingcheng in shock while listening.
