The Crown Princess is busy fishing

"You brat, I told you to run, why aren't you running anymore?"

In the early autumn of the eleventh year of the Mingde reign of the Qianlong Emperor, the sun blazed high in the sky.

Beside the ancient road leading to Lingnan, two constables in military uniforms were repeatedly punching and kicking a young girl.

The girl lay quietly on the ground, motionless.

After a while, one of them squatted down and checked the girl's breathing. "Brother Wei, this girl seems to have stopped breathing!"

The other person then stopped walking, shaking his head regretfully, "Let's go, let's catch up with the group ahead."

"What bad luck! I thought I could try something new and see what it's like to be a daughter of an official."

After saying that, the two turned and left without looking at the girl on the ground again.

Just then, the girl on the ground twitched her fingers.

Lin Yuge slowly opened her eyes, looked around, and felt a splitting headache.

I remember I had just returned to shore and was taking a shower.

How did it end up in this forest?

She tried hard to recall what had happened.

Suddenly remembering something, he clutched the wound on his head and stood there, stunned.

After I finished showering, I think I accidentally knocked something over, and then I felt a sharp, needle-like pain.

Before she could react, she fell headfirst into the bathtub and lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I was in this forest.

Am I somehow caught up with the trend and time-traveled?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a sense of grief and indignation.

It's remarkable that she, a ship engineer raised by the state, managed to move a group of grown men to tears.

We're just getting ready to go ashore!

Unexpectedly, he fell into the water and couldn't get up.

It's unclear whether she was electrocuted or drowned.

It's so frustrating to even think about.

"Fisherman's Song"

"Little sister~"

Just then, two shouts came from not far away.

Lin Yuge looked up at the sound and saw a young man running quickly, followed by a woman staggering behind him.

"Little sister, are you alright? That constable just said you were dead and told us to come and collect your body."

Upon approaching, seeing Lin Yuge's wide eyes, Lin Qingzhou spoke blankly.

Madam Lin, Xie Jingwan, pushed aside her son who was blocking her way.

"You brat, what are you saying? Our little girl is perfectly fine!"

"That constable must be talking nonsense."

As Lin Yuge looked at the two people in front of her, her mind flashed through the original owner's experiences like a movie.

The original owner of this body was a daughter of an official family; her father, Lin Fanghai, was an assistant minister in the Ministry of Works.

She works diligently every day, but she doesn't know how to flatter her superiors.

This insignificant man was caught in the crossfire of the King of England's rebellion.

If you're unlucky enough to be pushed out by your boss to take the fall, you become an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

The Emperor himself approved the decree: "Exile to Lingnan!"

Okay, the news just came out.

As the eldest uncle of the Marquis of Ding'an, he quickly distanced himself from him.

The family of four was kicked out of the house just like that.

My uncle, Xie Chengzhu, who is a wealthy businessman, is more reliable.

He helped bribe the runners and gave his sister some travel money.

This allowed the family to safely reach the Meiguan Ancient Road.

As for the original owner's misfortune, it's quite a sad story.

She was just a teenager.

She was also very beautiful, so she carefully concealed her appearance the whole way.

Who would have thought that it would rain the day before, and everyone would be caught off guard?

The rain washed away the blemishes on her face, which the two constables could see.

Taking advantage of the fact that the father was ill and the mother and elder brother were busy taking care of him, the two men attempted to commit adultery.

Unexpectedly, the original owner escaped.

That's how the opening scene came about.

"Daughter, how are you? Does it hurt anywhere?"

Lin Yuge snapped out of her daze and replied calmly, "Mother, I'm fine, just a bit of a headache."

“Those damned bastards, they took so much money from us, yet they are still so heartless.”

"Come on, Mother will take you to settle accounts with them."

As Mrs. Lin spoke, she tried to pull her daughter up.

Lin Yuge quickly grabbed her, "Mother, now that Father is sick, even if we want to become refugees, we can't escape it."

"We can't beat those people, so we need to think things through more carefully."

“That’s right! Mother, there are so many constables. If we go, won’t we just be delivering vegetables to them?” Lin Qingzhou said bluntly.

"Get lost! Do you think I don't know?"

Mrs. Lin glanced at her son with disdain and asked with a troubled expression, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Lin Yuge pondered for a moment.

"Mother, that leader, Liao, took a lot of money from us, and he's not a bad person."

"When we get back, let's go talk to him and plead his case."

"Sigh! That's all we can do. Let's go talk to him."

When the three caught up with the exile caravan, it was already dark, and the caravan happened to stop outside a dense forest to rest.

Madam Lin told her son to hurry up and take care of Master Lin.

He then took his daughter and went to find Constable Liao.

Upon meeting, she exclaimed, "Master Liao, you've taken a lot of money from us, you can't just not do your job!"

Seeing the stares coming from all around, Liao Yong quickly grabbed her.

"Grandma, keep your voice down! Are you afraid others won't hear you? What happened?"

"What happened? Because of those two bastards under your command, my daughter almost lost her life."

"You have to give me an explanation today. Otherwise, you probably won't get the money you were promised."

As she spoke, her expression changed, and tears streamed down her face.

"Master Liao, my husband has been a great help to you along the way."

"Take the case of the master's illness this time, for example. He caught a cold because he was repairing the grain carts for you in the rain."

While she was crying, she suddenly stopped crying and her face was full of smiles again.

"Don't worry, Master Liao. As long as you can guarantee our safe arrival in Nanhai County, the promised silver will definitely be more than expected."

Throughout this whole performance of singing, recitation, acting, and fighting, Master Liao didn't utter a single word.

He could only nod helplessly, "Mrs. Lin, I'll deal with them when I get back, and I promise I won't let them cause you any more trouble."

Lin Yuge watched in stunned silence.

Wow, my goodness! Are you performing Sichuan opera face-changing?

The Oscars owe you a golden statuette.

Afterwards, the mother and daughter found Lin Fanghai and his son in the crowd.

The two were squatting in the same position under a tree.

"What are you two looking at?" Xie Jingwan looked down.

"nothing."

Lin Fanghai quickly stood up and took his wife's hand, "Honey, are you alright?"

Lin Qingzhou quickly replied, "Father said that with Mother's help, everything will fall into place naturally."

"We felt relieved and then studied the vegetation in the area."

Lin Yuge rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "Big brother, can't you even look at Dad's expression?"

"Madam, I just had nothing to do."

"~" Well, Dad is already explaining.

"Alright, you two are just the same. You're still not fully recovered, what are you doing all this trouble?"

Xie Jingwan said with a look of disgust, "How come someone as shrewd as me has to run into you guys? My daughter is just like me."

As he spoke, he pulled Lin Yuge to sit down.

"Daughter, come here, lean on your mother and rest for a while. Ask your older brother to get you some dry food, eat it and then you can go to sleep."

After the family finished eating the dry, hard flatbread, they leaned against the fire and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, the fog in the forest had not yet dissipated.

The officers then called for everyone to get up and continue on their way.

Lin Yuge applied a layer of mud to herself as makeup, then followed her mother and set off with the group.

The two men didn't come back to cause trouble for the next few days.

However, Lin Yuge could still sense occasionally that they were watching him from a distance.

She appeared calm on the surface, but was secretly on high alert, not daring to relax for a moment.

Along the way, I dragged my heavy steps and endured the humid heat of the surrounding air.

You also have to be wary of snakes and insects that might suddenly appear from nowhere.

Even though Lin Yuge grew up in the south, she never imagined that the living environment in ancient times could be so harsh.

On this day, they arrived in Shaoguan.

The exiles stopped by a mountain road.

"Boss, the road is probably going to get even worse in the next few days. There aren't any villages or offices around. What are we going to do?" a constable asked worriedly.

Liao Yong frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's go to the checkpoint ahead and buy enough food for a few days."

“But boss, can we buy grain at that checkpoint? What if we can’t?” another constable said with concern.

Liao Yong said confidently, "Let's go and see. There are many pedestrians crossing the border; we might be able to buy some."

"We can't just sit here and wait. Without food, we can't make it across this difficult road."

The group nodded and walked together toward the checkpoint ahead.

Lin Yuge watched the backs of Liao Yabu and the others, then turned around and saw the two people who had stayed behind.

A chill ran down my spine; it seemed the heavens were going to kill me!
