Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

While carrying firewood into the cave, Shi Wanxia added firewood to the fire. She also helped the man lean against the stone slab, placed a bowl of water beside him, and watched his condition. He seemed to be getting better, and she would give him some anti-inflammatory medicine later that night.

After working for almost two hours, with firewood piled up in about a third of the cave, Shi Wanxia returned to the cave, not caring about the dirt anymore. She collapsed onto the ground.

"Ouch, my back is killing me! I'm so tired."

Shi Wanxia lay there for more than 10 minutes, then gritted her teeth, supported her back, stood up, threw some firewood into the fire, looked at the water tank, and when she thought it was about time, she put the fire out.

Thinking it was still early, only a little past 5 a.m., I decided to try my luck in the forest and see if I could find something to eat. So I picked up my basket and left the cave. I really didn't want to eat bamboo shoots anymore; I'd been eating them for two days already.

"I'll improve the net bag I used to hold the pot when I get back. I'll see if I can catch some fish by the river," Shi Wanxia thought to herself as she searched for wild vegetables under the tree.

I actually found two kinds of wild vegetables: purslane and amaranth. I picked quite a lot, and there was also a large patch of lamb's quarters swaying in the wind, its leaves covered with a layer of white powder. This annual herb is very resilient and tastes pretty good; I can pick more.

Wasn't that person injured? This can prevent anemia and has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, so let him eat more. Shi Wanxia picked a full basket of the three kinds of wild vegetables and was in a very good mood.

Humming a song, I went to the river to wash the vegetables. I glanced at the sky and saw that the sun had disappeared again, and the clouds were thick. It looked like it was going to rain again, so I had to fill the water tank before it rained.

Shi Wanxia took the vegetables back to the cave. The pot and basin were already cooked, and the fire had gone out. Shen Yanchu leaned against the stone wall and fell asleep. She put the vegetables away and used the remaining water to wash the water vat clean.

It wasn't far from the river, and eight bamboo tubes filled with water were still quite heavy. He found a thicker wooden stick, wrapped it with two pairs of gloves, and planned to use it to carry water, making it easier. Just as he was about to leave with his net, Shen Yanchu woke up, and the tapping of the stick attracted her attention.

Shen Yanchu wrote three characters on the ground with a stick. He didn't know if the girl could read, but he could only try. However, he was currently unable to speak and therefore unable to communicate.

Although her speech and behavior were somewhat crude, the information she conveyed suggested she was a literate girl. Now that it was getting dark, and there were many wild beasts in this dense forest, what would she do if she encountered danger alone?

"I am coming too!"

Shi Wanxia leaned over and carefully examined the traditional Chinese characters on the ground. Why was this person writing in traditional Chinese characters? Although I recognize them, I don't know many!

"You're going too? But can you walk? The water source is far away," Shen Yanchu, who could indeed read, raised an eyebrow and nodded gently.

Seeing his insistence, Shi Wanxia didn't say anything. She went back, tied the pot and basin together, carried them on her back, washed them by the river, and picked up a sturdy stick from the woodpile for him to lean on. Shi Wanxia also supported him with her arm, and the two slowly moved towards the river.

The journey, which was less than two or three kilometers, took the two of them almost two hours to reach. While they could still see, Shi Wanxia helped him sit on a rock by the river.

He took down the pot and basin and washed them clean. He then filled the bamboo tube with water, took off the net, placed it behind a stone in the middle of the river, tied it to a big tree on the bank with vines, tied the washed pot and basin to his back, wrapped the bamboo tube with vines several times, and fixed it to a wooden stick. He bent down to carry the water away when he remembered that his older brother was still there.

But since we were walking back slowly together, we wouldn't be able to get much water today. So I turned to him and said, "Brother, I'll go back and get the water first, and then I'll bring it back later. Why don't you take care of your personal hygiene first, and then walk back slowly? I'll carry the water back first, otherwise we won't have any water to use. Be careful, I'll be right back."

After saying that, she turned and left. Because there was an injured person with her, Shi Wanxia didn't dare to delay. She walked away quickly and in the blink of an eye, she had already gone far away.

Shen Yanchu blushed and moved his feet, finding a secluded spot to use the outhouse. He moved with difficulty, but his legs were blocked by poison, causing his internal energy to be insufficient. His steps were unsteady and weak, and he could not walk very fast. Shen Yanchu's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth inwardly. He would get his revenge sooner or later.

After leaving him behind, Shi Wanxia ran as fast as she could, without even panting, straight towards the cave. Once there, she put down the pot and basin and poured the water from the bamboo tube into the water vat.

The water vat was too big; even though the water she was carrying weighed thirty or forty pounds, she couldn't see any change. Undeterred, Shi Wanxia grabbed her folding knife and continued fetching water. About 100 meters from the riverbank, she encountered a man slowly moving along.

"Keep going, take your time, don't rush, rest when you're tired." After saying that, she went straight to the riverbank. Shen Yanchu moved her lips but couldn't say anything. However, her complexion was not good.

By the time late summer had filled the three water tanks with twenty or thirty trips back and forth, it was completely dark. She had overestimated her physical strength. Each trip left her utterly exhausted.

For the last few trips, I had to take a few steps and then rest, as I simply couldn't pick up the pace. Fortunately, I had a good catch today, netting two fish: a grass carp weighing three or four pounds and another one I didn't recognize, weighing two or three pounds. My hands were so tired that I could barely lift them, and I cleaned the fish and brought them back from the riverbank with trembling hands.

When she returned to the cave, Shi Wanxia collapsed in the haystack and rested for more than half an hour before she recovered. Thinking that the person had not returned yet, Shi Wanxia got up with a bitter face.

With trembling legs, she went to find the person and found him a few hundred meters away from the cave. He was kneeling on the ground without any regard for his image, his clothes were in disarray, and he was resting with his eyes closed. Shi Wanxia, ​​oblivious to the danger, went up to him.

"Brother, what happened to you? Can you walk? Let me help you back."

Shen Yanchu was too tired to move, but she still struggled to open her eyes and saw that she had been carrying water all day, and her body was dirty and disheveled, and her hair was also messed up.

He was still grinning foolishly at himself. Shen Yanchu steadied himself and wrote on the ground with a stick: "I shot a grouse in the bushes ahead."

"What? You hunted? Hunting is illegal! Brother, you even killed a grouse. Although it's not an endangered species, I think it's a Class II protected animal in China! Even though we were stranded here and had no choice in our fate, hunting animals indiscriminately will land you in jail."

Shen Yanchu was stunned. What second-class protected animal? I've never heard of such a law before. When did hunting become illegal? What makes this girl say that? Which country's law are you referring to? "Miss, neither Cangling Kingdom nor Yanyue Kingdom has ever had such a law."

Shi Wanxia was struck dumb by the words on the ground, frozen in place. "What Cangling Kingdom, Yan Yue Kingdom? I'm referring to the laws of our Huaguo (China)."

Shen Yanchu had never heard of a Huaguo (China) before. Shi Wanxia felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at him. Wait… could it be that this isn't some Ailao Mountain? Or has I transmigrated?! No way, how unlucky!
