I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

Fang Xiaoxiao put the silver in her pocket, her face full of smiles.

Now I have fifteen taels of silver, enough to go to the yamen again to choose a husband.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard someone call her from behind.

"Miss Fang, please wait."

Li Moru quickly walked up behind her.

Fang Xiao let out a soft "Ah!" and almost got a face-to-face attack when she turned around.

Oh my god, that scared me to death.

She patted her chest, looked disgusted, and took two steps back to keep a distance from the other person.

"You scared me to death! Why did you suddenly shout so loudly in broad daylight!"

Li Moru looked at the woman in front of her, about two steps away, who had a fairy-like appearance and wore a coarse gray linen dress.

The fairy he saw in his dream the day before yesterday was the person standing before him.

"Miss Fang, I apologize. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."

He's all bookish and doesn't look like a respectable person.

Fang Xiaoxiao shook her head to indicate that nothing was wrong, and that she was very busy right now, so she wouldn't chat with the other person anymore.

Before she left, she said, "In the future, you must learn to be a good person before you can do business."

Li Moru stood there, stunned, her smile still on her face, but she already had a plan in mind.

"What an interesting woman."

……

Fang Xiaoxiao had fifteen taels of silver in her pocket. Thinking that it was still early, she decided to go home first.

Anyway, I'll marry the remaining three in a couple of days.

Of course, there is another important reason, which is that three fewer people mean three fewer mouths to feed, and every little bit saved counts.

Making money is not easy; you have to learn to use one dollar as if it were two.

The path home is surrounded by bamboo groves, a verdant expanse as far as the eye can see.

The road underfoot was a muddy dirt track. Because of the rain showers last night, the ground was soft and slippery, unlike the paved roads that would hurt your feet.

In her previous life, she had to wear high heels every day, which made walking very uncomfortable and caused blisters on her heels.

If it weren't for working a lousy job and earning a pittance, she wouldn't bother wearing it.

Now it's great. Wearing old cloth shoes with layered soles, not only is walking comfortable, but the road surface is also incredibly soft.

You know what, ancient times were really great. The air was fresh, there were few people, and you could easily live in your dream house.

A small courtyard with a few tiled houses, simple and peaceful, with four husbands, each one handsome.

"Go Fang Xiaoxiao, you're the best! So what if you're raising seven grown men? You're a time traveler!"

She carried a bamboo basket on her back, cheering herself on while enjoying the scenery along the way.

I had only walked a few steps when I saw a furtive figure not far from my doorstep, looking around suspiciously like a thief.

Fang Xiaoxiao quickly stopped and ducked into the bamboo grove next to her.

She saw that the man was dressed in gray clothes and wore a straw hat, looking rather strange.

"Hey... isn't that He Jinnian?"

The wind blew the veil on He Jinnian's hat, revealing a corner of his handsome face.

He quickly pulled down his straw hat, which had been blown up by the wind, and covered his face with it again.

With his head down, to ensure the success of the operation, he looked around for a moment, and only after confirming that no one was around did he feel relieved and continue walking forward.

Strange, what is He Jinnian doing? He must be keeping a secret.

She had encountered He Jinnian before, and he was talking to a man in black who was investigating something.

I don't know what the investigation is about, but one of her favorite things to do is watch the excitement.

He Jinnian was seen leaving towards the back mountain.

Fang Xiaoxiao also carefully followed quickly. She had to admit that this experience was quite good. She wasn't very good at following people, but once her curiosity was piqued...

That was like the Yellow River overflowing its banks, completely out of control.

One person is in front and the other is behind.

The two then engaged in a cat-and-mouse game.

Little did Fang Xiaoxiao know that just as he arrived at his destination...

But they discovered it was an abandoned mine.

In her past life's memories, this place was also where she played as a child.

Strange, why come to the mine?

Just then, a large hand reached out towards her.

"Don't move. Why have you been following me all this way? What's your purpose?"

"..."

Fang Xiaoxiao blinked and shook her head to indicate that she hadn't covered her mouth and nose.

But He Jinnian refused to believe that he had been following him to the mine ever since he left home.

Ordinary people don't have such free time; they must have something on their mind.

Although Fang Xiaoxiao had only known the other party for a few days, their behavior was completely different from that of ordinary people.

Take those pills for example; an ordinary person could never have come up with such a way of making them.

What's more, there are also some kinds of medicines to relieve the heat, things he had never heard of or seen before.

Thinking of this, he pulled a dagger from his waist and held it to her throat.

"Who are you?"

who?

I'm your wife, who else could I be?

Fang Xiao was furious, but she had no choice but to back down and dare not act rashly.

It mainly came from the throat area, where a cool sensation was felt.

This isn't the first time someone has held a weapon to your neck.

Pei Yan did this last time, and now it's He Jinnian. What are they up to?

Needless to say, Pei Yan was someone I had saved before.

She only spent five taels of silver plus five hundred copper coins in customs duties to buy He Jinnian.

Her heart trembled uncontrollably; she regretted that curiosity had killed the cat.

He Jinnian looked her up and down, pondering her true identity. Could it be...?

He didn't say anything more, but simply told him to keep quiet.

Fang Xiaoxiao blinked quickly; she didn't want to be killed like that.

No matter what, they should at least survive to the end.

There's no way the main character dies as soon as they appear in the story; that's ridiculous.

Unless she's a supporting character.

He Jinnian, still somewhat doubtful, released the dagger from his hand, glanced at him again, and then sheathed the dagger in his scabbard at his waist.

"I'm going to do something big now. You can come or not, it's up to you."

Fang Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "If I leave without figuring things out, wouldn't all the threats I've received have been for nothing?"

She nodded, indicating that it was no problem.

The two set off towards their destination, one after the other.

On the way, Fang Xiaoxiao tried to ask the other person several times what was going on, but the other person gestured for her to shut up.

She said "oh," lowered her head, and slowly followed behind the other person.

The mine is enormous, surrounded by piles of rocks, and you can't see the end of it at all.

Fang Xiaoxiao looked at the rugged and winding path in front of her, and then looked ahead at the endless stretch of road overgrown with weeds.

This is a true test of both physical strength and endurance.

Just now at the mine entrance, she complained that it was difficult to walk.

Now, things are really messy; the road ahead is not only difficult to walk, but also requires climbing.

"Phew, slow down, okay? My calves are about to cramp up. Can I take a break?"

She placed her hands on her knees, bent over, and looked up at the person walking at the front, about ten or twenty meters away from her.

At that moment, she truly regretted it; why did she nod in agreement?
