After being wrongly married, I stabbed my husband to death and became famous throughout the world.

The job at Li Chutian Post Station has been taken over by someone else.

The person who took her place... was still Yao Aning's father.

When Li Chutian found out, he was so angry that his eyes almost popped out, but he was a coward and afraid of the Ma family, so he didn't dare to settle accounts and could only admit it with a humiliating face.

Moreover, and most importantly... now, the government has punished Li Chutian and his wife by sending them to the deep forest to chop firewood for three years.

For the next three years, they also had to regularly deliver the firewood they chopped to the military camp.

Compared to other punishments, this was already very lenient. However, there was no one around in the mountains, and the environment was harsh. Although the government would distribute grain every month, the amount was small, enough to keep the criminal from starving to death, but also not enough to keep him alive.

Li Shu was somewhat disappointed; she had thought Li Chutian would be sent to the army or to work in the mines...

You should know that convicts sent to the army were basically cannon fodder, with an horribly high mortality rate. Mining was the same; they ate little and worked a lot, and I heard that if they didn't do a good job, they would be whipped. Living was worse than dying...

The couple was quite lucky to have escaped this situation.

For Li Chutian and Zhou, however, it was a devastating blow, one they simply could not bear.

The two had a very easy life before and had never suffered much hardship. Now that autumn had arrived, although the weather outside was still somewhat warm, once they entered the mountains, they would be hit by frost and dew. They had no idea how they would survive such harsh weather.

But once he's imprisoned in the mountains, he can't change his ways.

"Mother, I don't want to go... I'm so scared, what if there are tigers?" Li Aman was very anxious. "Can my brother and I wait for you to come back at home?"

Zhou didn't want her children to suffer, but hearing her daughter's words, she was still somewhat disappointed: "What an ingrate! You don't even know how to help your father and me! If your older brother were here, I wouldn't have had to do the woodcutting!"

His son is a bit lazy, but he's very strong!

"Mother, why are you scolding me?! It's clearly my eldest brother who caused our family to become like this. These past few days, no one has wanted to talk to me. They even pointed their fingers at me and cursed me, calling me a petty bandit. If my eldest brother hadn't been involved with bandits, I wouldn't be like this..."

"Slap!" Zhou slapped Aman across the face. "Your older brother is innocent! If you dare say another bad word about him, I'll disown you as my daughter!"

Li Aman covered her face, panicked and sad, and ran out crying.

Li Chuiguang lowered his head and remained silent.

“Father, what do you think we should do? They’re not young anymore. If they come with us, it will be easier for us…” Zhou hesitated.

Li Chutian looked at his youngest son, then at Li Shu, who remained silent beside him.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let Aman and Ali go with them, and Chuiguang... stay home."

“Son, you should be more mature by now. The mountains will be even more dangerous after winter. If anything happens to you, our family line will truly end. So stay home and wait. The people in town have a problem with us, so don't get involved in anything. In a year or two, this will all be over!” Li Chutian said, his voice softening. “Be careful of the Ma family. If you encounter Ma Chengting, behave yourself…”

Li Shu was not surprised by Li Chutian's arrangement.

Although Li Chutian suspected that the Ma family had done something underhanded, he had neither evidence nor dared to confirm it. The only thing he could do was to let his daughter, who had instigated and schemed against him, suffer the consequences.

Rather than selling her, Li Chutian preferred to torment her as before, cure her "madness," and make her serve the Li family like a slave for the rest of her life.

Li Shu did not resist; she also wanted to go into the mountains to take a look.

Yunjing Pass is located in the Ling Mountains.

The Ling Mountains stretch for hundreds of kilometers, and Yun Jing Pass is located in the most precipitous part of the Ling Mountains. There are about twenty passes here. Yun Jing Pass is built against the mountain and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, thus ensuring the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This world is not as stable as in her previous life, and she feels that she needs to develop the ability to adapt to the environment.

In her previous life, Li Shu had learned some martial arts, but she wasn't very skilled. It only helped her avoid being bullied in that law-abiding society. In this world, power, patriarchal system, and even gender differences made her weak and powerless. Her martial arts skills were not enough, and often she had to pretend to be obedient.

But she can't pretend to be good forever.

After she established her own martial arts school, practicing martial arts became her top priority.

Wilderness survival skills are also essential. She has a rather unscrupulous personality and is prone to offending people. If she does something bad in the future and gets wanted by the police, she can't go into the city to save her life. Living as a wild man would be more suitable...

Li Shu thought this space was really useless. It had already let her travel through time, so why couldn't it let her travel to a world of cultivation?!

She promises to dig a hole and bury herself, then spend thousands of years in seclusion before popping out to wreak havoc on people!

At this moment, Li Shu did not open his mouth to refute, which pleased Li Chutian.

The government wasn't worried about the Li family running away; they only required the Li couple to arrange everything and go into the mountains for labor within half a month.

With this two-week period, Li Shu can also make preparations in advance.

The following evening, she secretly went to the Qian family and collected the two hundred taels of silver. The old man of the Qian family was indeed a good person and did not renege on his debt. He was even very polite to her.

Li Shu's memories were almost entirely filled with people who had done evil to the original owner of the body, so meeting this old man with a conscience by chance made her feel much better.

Unfortunately, the original owner was not the child of the coffin shop owner.

Two hundred taels of silver is an enormous sum of money.

Li Shu wanted to go to Yicheng to buy some things, but because of her status, she couldn't go without someone to guide her. This wicked society once again made Li Shu swear and, in a fit of anger, smash the Li family's pot.

When Zhou looked at her with resentful eyes, Li Shu only said, "Maybe I've had another attack? Could Qi Yanfeng's illness be contagious? I'll go out and find a doctor to take a look..."

Zhou stopped arguing with Li Shu and just wanted to kill her.

Li Chutian still had the patience to listen to Li Shu's sweet talk, but Zhou Shi did not; she always suspected that Li Linsheng's death was Li Shu's fault.

Zhou hated her for her scheming nature, for not taking the blame, and for provoking the Ma family...

In short, Li Shu is the root of all evil.

Of course, Zhou's judgment was absolutely correct.

Li Shu quickly went out the door, and bumped into two people as soon as he stepped out, a man and a woman, who were Chen's cousins.

The two of them didn't know how long they had been standing outside the Li family's house.

Seeing Li Shu come out, he was both surprised and relieved. It seemed that he had done a lot of mental preparation before he asked, "If the couple is going into the mountains, are they going to take you with them?"

“Yes.” Li Shu stopped and nodded.

“It’s very cold in the mountains. You and Li Aman are not the same. How many warm clothes do you have? The ones my father bought for you before, Li Aman probably stole them too, right? How do you plan to survive in the mountains? A-Li, when will your pig brain become smarter?!” Chen Ying was a little angry.

She didn't even know who she was angry at...

Perhaps she was angry that Ali always kept quiet, angry that the Li family was bullying her too much, or perhaps she was angry that her own family wasn't wealthy enough to help.
