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

Shi Wanxia carefully made her way to the bottom of the mountain where she had been moving stones during the day, using a flashlight. Although the rain had stopped, the forest was shrouded in fog, making visibility very low. The ground was full of puddles of all sizes, making the path uneven and difficult to walk on. Shi Wanxia almost slipped and fell several times.

"Wow, so many rocks and mud! It seems this rain tonight was quite powerful! No wonder it made such a loud noise!"

Shi Wanxia carefully scanned the surroundings with her flashlight. A large amount of gravel and soil had rolled down from the top of the mountain. It was a pity that the soil was mixed with a lot of sand and gravel, otherwise she could have taken a break tomorrow.

Shi Wanxia shook her head in disappointment. After walking a little closer and seeing that it wouldn't affect her current safe haven, she felt relieved and decided to go back. She turned around and took a few steps.

Suddenly, a pair of large hands grabbed Shi Wanxia's ankles from under the pile of rocks.

"Ah...a ghost! Let go, let go! Go away, go away! Guanyin Bodhisattva, Buddha, Laozi, protect the demons and monsters, make them go away, go away!"

The sudden turn of events terrified Shi Wanxia. She waved her flashlight wildly, and a scream echoed for a long time in the empty, silent forest.

Shi Wanxia shakily shone the flashlight at her feet. The scene before her was... well, how to put it? She had been in this wretched place for two days and was now welcoming another unlucky soul just like herself.

To be honest, Shi Wanxia felt a mix of emotions. She mustered her courage and squatted down to observe this "strange person." It was a very strange person; she couldn't make out his appearance at all. He was covered in mud, weeds, and grime, but his fingers were quite long.

But the injuries were all large and small scratches, quite deep. Who was this strange man? Could he have escaped from northern Myanmar and gotten so disheveled? He's in a terrible state; compared to him, I'm much luckier. I used a flashlight to check the large rock pinning him down; it must have weighed at least several dozen kilograms. The man wasn't moving; he'd probably been knocked unconscious!

"Never mind, saving him is the priority. But how am I supposed to save him? I can't move or push this huge rock!" Shi Wanxia broke free from his grasp and looked around for any suitable tools.

"Right, I'll go find a sturdy stick and see if I can pry it open and get him out."

Shi Wanxia had a flash of inspiration and started to act. After searching for a long time, she finally found a sturdier wooden stick. She then moved a slightly larger rock next to the large rock that was pressing down on her and stuck the wooden stick under the rock.

Then she moved the stone that was used as a fulcrum to the bottom of the wooden stick. Shi Wanxia slowly began to adjust the position and exert force. She pressed down with all her might a few times but it didn't move. She started to move the position again and pressed down hard, but it still didn't work.

They changed positions again, and after several such back-and-forth movements, they finally found the best spot and began to exert force. They pressed down on his left side, using the wooden stick as leverage, and slowly pried away the stone pressing down on him. The stone was visibly moving.

Shi Wanxia was extremely excited, but dared not move rashly, fearing that if she moved, the wooden stick would wobble and the stone would press down again. She didn't know if this person would be so lucky as to survive, and if so, she would be guilty of a terrible sin. Forgive me, forgive me. She still focused intently on slowly prying at the large stone, and it took her almost an hour to finally push the stone away completely.

At this moment, the figure below became a blurry silhouette. Why blurry? Because there was no light, and nothing could be seen clearly. Shi Wanxia couldn't tell how badly he was injured either. This person is quite tall; he definitely couldn't carry my small frame back.

They could only help him slowly move back. Fortunately, it wasn't far from the cave, only about a hundred meters away. Shi Wanxia squatted down beside him, put his right hand on her shoulder with one hand, and wrapped her other arm around his waist, using all her strength to help him up.

To be honest, although this guy looked thin, he was actually quite tall, over 1.8 meters. I'm less than 1.6 meters tall, which caused him to lose his balance, with half his body leaning on me. He almost knocked Shi Wanxia to the ground. Shi Wanxia gritted her teeth and half-carried, half-dragged herself towards the cave, a distance of less than a hundred meters.

Shi Wanxia walked for more than half an hour, panting, before returning to the cave. She then carefully laid him down on the grass mat. The only light in the cave was from a fire. By the light, Wanxia could see the strange person lying there. He was tall with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His face was so dirty that she couldn't make out his features. He had waist-length hair, but he was definitely not a woman. He had been pressing down on her shoulder, and his chest muscles were hard and painful.

Shi Wanxia slumped on the ground and rested for a long time before she recovered. She stumbled to her feet to get the medicine bag. He was covered in injuries, wearing light gray clothes with lots of blood on his body. Shi Wanxia took the medicine bag, opened the iodine and alcohol, and carefully cleaned his wounds.

This strange man was dressed in a long robe that reached his feet, with a belt with gold ribbons around his waist. He wore cloth boots, which are very common in period dramas, with some patterns on them, but he couldn't understand them and didn't pay much attention to them. After wiping the dirt off his face with water, Shi Wanxia was startled.

"Holy crap, what's going on? This face... what kind of grudge could someone have to disfigure someone like this?"

The wounds on his face were shocking; almost no part of his face was intact, and the lower left side of his face appeared to be a knife cut.

Because his face had been washed, the wounds that were almost healed were oozing a little blood. His messy hair hung down from his forehead to his waist, some of it sticking to his face. The other half of his face was covered with a layer of dark scars, which looked quite new. There were faint blood vessels under the scars, making it look like a burn or something. To be honest, he looked three parts human and seven parts ghost. Ordinary people would stay far away from him.

Shi Wanxia was startled by his face. Who doesn't like handsome guys? Suddenly encountering such a strange person in the middle of nowhere, how could she just stand by and watch him die? Her conscience would not allow it.

Despite her panic and fear, Shi Wanxia tremblingly disinfected the wounds on his face with alcohol and iodine. After hesitating for a long time, she finally took off his clothes. Why were there two or three layers of clothes? Wasn't he hot?

Once the clothes were off, the strange man's wounds were no less severe than those on his face. Shi Wanxia covered her mouth, staring in shock at the appalling wounds on his body.

Remembering that she had just applied medicine to his wound, she put her hand down again. "This man has offended the United Nations and suffered such a terrible ordeal. Could it be because he was envied for his good looks while wearing those clothes and was beaten up by a mob? But the public security is much better now. In broad daylight, what fool would dare to hurt someone like that? It would be strange if the police didn't invite him for tea. His wounds are really frightening."
