A transmigrated woman ruined my whole family; I was reborn, seized a spatial ability, and had a full

The soft light of dawn shone on the riverbank at the edge of the village, where several women were gathered to wash clothes.

Aunt Zhang rubbed the clothes in her hands vigorously, her brows furrowed slightly as if she were thinking about something, and spoke first:

"Have you noticed that Su Laosi's son has recently become quite a little leader among the village kids?"

Aunt Wang stopped what she was doing, straightened up slightly, and nodded gently: "How could I not have seen them? They're always running around the village with a bunch of kids, saying they're going to dig for medicinal herbs!"

A hint of pity crossed her eyes:

"His family was really struggling. Old Su injured his leg but had no money for treatment, so he could only dig up some medicinal herbs to try. If you ask me, his father was really heartless. He seemed so gentle on the surface, but who would have thought he could be so cruel to his son? He really has a hard heart!"

"Who can argue with that? If it weren't for the good children Su Lao Si had, he probably would have met with a terrible fate this time. His son Xiang Yang is quite capable, but unfortunately he's still too young. The burden of this large family is really suffocating!"

As Li Sao spoke, she couldn't help but sigh, then a faint smile appeared on her face. "However, these little rascals of ours, who used to be so naughty and never had a moment's peace, have become much more well-behaved and obedient now that they're going to dig for medicinal herbs with Sheng. I think that's a good thing."

Aunt Wang paused in her hand holding the pestle, then smiled, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

"That's absolutely right! My son got a few candies from Sheng yesterday, supposedly as payment for digging medicinal herbs. He clutched them tightly in his little hand, as if they were some rare treasure. When he got home, he didn't eat a single one, saying he wanted to save them for his dad and me. What a thoughtful child!"

Aunt Zhang raised an eyebrow, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

A few pieces of candy and you think you can appease his precious son? Who cares about that stuff!

They treat her child like a donkey all day long, supposedly to dig for medicinal herbs, but who knows what kind of wicked scheme they're plotting behind the scenes.

She suddenly lowered her voice and asked mysteriously, "Do you think the medicinal herbs that Sheng took the children to dig up could be exchanged for a lot of silver?"

Aunt Wang frowned, looking down on Aunt Zhang's words: "I've seen them all, they're just common wild vegetables found in the fields! Forget about selling them for money, even pigs wouldn't want to eat those prickly weeds!"

She pursed her lips and continued, "Who knows where they heard this folk remedy from? They're just desperate and will try anything when they're really sick."

"Alas, the children of Su Lao Si's family are so pitiful, so young yet so filial."

Aunt Li shook her head helplessly, her eyes filled with deep sympathy. "There's nothing we can do but let them do what they want. We just hope for a good outcome, otherwise, what will become of this family..."

Su Li hurried past the riverbank with a basket on her back. She paused slightly as she heard the villagers' chatter, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

She knew she had made a lot of money digging up medicinal herbs, but now that bandits were approaching and there was war in the south, the news that medicinal herb merchants urgently needed herbs would soon be known to everyone, and digging up medicinal herbs was by no means a long-term solution.

Therefore, she had to find another way.

Su Li took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and turned to walk quickly towards the deep mountains behind the village.

Behind the village stands a majestic mountain, its range stretching for dozens of miles.

Normally, villagers only cut firewood on the outermost layer; apart from experienced hunters, few dare to venture deep inside.

Su Li stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the misty forest in front of her. She composed herself, gritted her teeth, and stepped into the forest in one go.

This mountain forest is like an untapped treasure trove, containing what Su Li desires, and also what enabled Su Zhen to shine and turn the tide in her past life—

A mysterious black stone!

This stone is similar to charcoal, yet completely different. It is naturally formed between heaven and earth, can be ignited and burn for a much longer time than charcoal.

In a daze, memories of my past life flooded my mind like a tide.

It was a desolate scene of ice and snow, with snow falling like goose feathers for months on end, the entire Northland shrouded in bitter cold, like a giant ice cellar.

The snow was several meters deep, blocking all life. People and animals struggled in the bitter cold, and countless lives were mercilessly swallowed up. Countless people froze and starved to death.

The once peaceful and tranquil Linshui Village suffered countless deaths and injuries due to floods and snowstorms, and those who barely survived had no choice but to embark on a journey of fleeing famine.

At that time, the imperial city was in rebellion, and the entire Great Wei Kingdom was plunged into a state of utter misery, with the common people having nowhere to turn for help.

The dozen or so surviving villagers of Linshui Village eventually succumbed to hunger and cold, perishing in the snow-covered landscape...

None of the villagers could have imagined that the life-saving thing was right there in the back mountain.

The only person who knows this secret is her time-traveling cousin, Su Zhen!

At that time, she had been following the Ninth Prince for a long time, not only using her knowledge from later generations to advise him, but also generously providing him with spatial resources.

To help the Ninth Prince's army stand out in this battle for supremacy, Su Zhen returned to this small mountain village and directed his soldiers to dig open the back mountain and carve out all these precious black stones.

From Su Zhen, everyone learned that these stones were called "coal stones".

One part was used for burning fuel for heating, and the other part was used for heating cellars, growing crops, and providing food for the army.

In order to keep the secret of the coal, Su Zhen ordered the massacre of all the people within a ten-mile radius of the back mountain, leaving no survivors.

Overnight, blood stained the white snow.

Those who had lived with her, whether they had helped her or benefited from her, all became victims of her knife...

While pondering, Su Li suddenly stopped. A slightly open space appeared before her, where rainwater had washed away the surface sand, revealing a patch of black.

This seems to be the coal she's been looking for!

Su Li was overjoyed, but quickly suppressed her excitement and cautiously looked around. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, she slowly squatted down.

She reached out and gently brushed away the fallen leaves on the surface, carefully using a twig to pry away the shallow layer of soil, revealing a large, black stone as dark as ink.

Yes, this is the coal rock that Su Zhen had people chisel open back then!

She absolutely did not admit her mistake!

Su Li's pupils trembled slightly. Suppressing the shock in her heart, she squatted down and selected several medium-sized, uniformly textured black stones, placing them one by one into her basket.

"Let's take it back and try it out first. If it's really that amazing, then we'll make more long-term plans!"

However, with this fuel, it would be convenient to set up a snack stall in town.

After tidying up her basket, Su Li straightened up, glanced around the area where she had found coal and rocks, silently noted the surrounding terrain features, and then turned and slowly descended the mountain along the path she had come from.

Halfway there, she suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from not far behind her.

The sound was getting closer and closer towards him...
