Who understands? He traveled through time with a high-spec spatial ability.

Of the female students recruited by the academy this time, one came from a security escort agency, while the other four came from poor farming families.

These girls had experienced hardship since childhood, but they entered the academy with a thirst for knowledge and aspirations for the future.

The path to becoming a doctor has never been easy; it requires learners to have unwavering perseverance and a spirit of hard work and endurance.

For these girls from impoverished backgrounds, not only do they have to memorize complex medical knowledge, but they also have to learn to read from scratch, which undoubtedly puts them under tremendous pressure.

It was this pressure that ignited their fighting spirit deep within them.

The purpose of organizing this event was twofold: firstly, to create an opportunity for Lu Yuan to spend time with her, and secondly, to inspire the girls to strengthen their resolve to learn and bravely face difficulties.

Qiao Jingjing knew the hardships these girls faced, so she specially prepared plenty of supplies in the space to ensure the smooth running of the event.

The branches of the winter plum trees are covered with fresh, white snow, resembling a world draped in silver.

Qiao Jingjing, carrying a bamboo basket, trudged through the snow towards the small woods behind the mountain. Just as she was about to reach her destination, she suddenly stopped and looked ahead.

Five dusty figures were busy in the snow, digging with all their might.

The girl in the green dress at the front was particularly eye-catching. She swung her braids behind her back, revealing her small face, which was red from the cold. She was holding a small hoe tightly in her hands, looking somewhat strained.

This person was Chun Ya, the youngest female student in the academy. "Sister Qiao!" Chun Ya's eyes lit up. In the bamboo basket lay several winter mallow roots covered with ice crystals. "There are kudzu roots buried under the frozen soil on the back slope from last autumn. Sister Wang said they can be roasted and eaten."

Qiao Jingjing squatted down and looked at the plant tubers lying haphazardly in the bamboo basket.

Wang Yangui, the head of the escort agency, dressed in an indigo short jacket, was using a dagger to peel the skin of kudzu root. As the blade passed, snow-white fibers were revealed. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Eh!" "This pattern looks like the cross-section of a Sichuan lily."

"Yan Gui has a good eye." Guo Pingting lifted her skirt and turned out of the plum grove, her deerskin boots crushing the ice. "According to the Qinglan Pharmacopoeia, kudzu root and Sichuan ligusticum are both vines, but the former..." She suddenly stopped, looking at the crooked herbal illustrations on the snow - they were illustrations of the Hundred Herbs Classic drawn by Chun Ya with a twig.

Lu Yuan specially changed into a brand new long gown today, which Qiao Jingjing specially picked out. His hair was also neatly combed, and a jade hairpin was inserted on the top of his head.

As the tinderbox lit the pine branches, Lu Yuan was sprinkling salt onto the grill from a celadon jar.

He heard light footsteps in the distance. He looked up and saw Guo Pingting walking at the front, carrying a glass lantern. Red plum petals were scattered on her pale yellow cloak.

The north wind lifted the medicine pouch at her waist, and the bitter fragrance of angelica and atractylodes mixed with the smell of charcoal fire was more intoxicating than any other incense.

“It’s dark in the woods, you’ve thought of everything.” Lu Yuan put down the jar and naturally took the lamp from Guo Pingting.

Everyone from the academy came today, including Chef Wang, to see the new way of eating and hopefully get some inspiration to add some new ideas to his own cooking.

The male students showed great interest in the barbecue. Although grilled meat was not unfamiliar to them, this was the first time they had ever encountered it grilled to such an irresistible aroma.

They sat around the campfire, their eyes fixed on the food on the grill, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise and admiration.

Qiao Jingjing stood aside, quietly watching the group of young faces dressed in ancient costumes on the snow. She suddenly felt that the scene before her was so unreal.

In a daze, she recalled her life before she traveled through time. Back then, she loved sitting under rose bushes, scrolling through short videos of wilderness survival, watching different outdoor bloggers' camping experiences, and longing for it all.

He also often fantasizes about owning a motorhome, raising a golden retriever, and traveling around the country with just himself, the motorhome, and the dog.

Reality, however, was far from her expectations. She couldn't help but feel disappointed, and her mood gradually became gloomy.

Tantai Zhou noticed Qiao Jingjing's change; he keenly sensed that she was somewhat downcast.

But because there were many people around, he couldn't be too affectionate, so he could only ask softly, "Jingjing, what's wrong?"

Qiao Jingjing snapped out of her daze, shook her head, and said, "It's nothing."

Guo Pingting glanced at Tantai Zhou, seemingly wanting to say something but then hesitated. Qiao Jingjing then made an excuse to have Tantai Zhou assist Lu Yuan, and Guo Pingting seized the opportunity to come to her side.

"Have something to say?"

“Hmm,” Guo Pingting glanced at the girls again and continued, “Princess, have you heard about Chun Ya’s family situation? Her parents are gone, and only her older brother is still alive. That brother sent word that he wants to sell her to a wealthy family as a maid. The girl is pretending nothing’s wrong today, but she was secretly crying under the covers last night.”

"Princess, I truly don't understand why people treat women so unfairly. There are already too many restrictions, and now even learning a skill is obstructed. Chun Ya is only 13 years old..." She couldn't finish her sentence.

Qiao Jingjing frowned, her heart filled with indignation. She understood, of course, why it was so difficult for women to survive. In this feudal era, women had a low status, and peasant girls like Chun Ya suffered even more misfortune.

"I won't stand idly by," Qiao Jingjing said firmly.

She pondered for a moment and then had an idea.

He called Chun Ya over and asked softly, "Chun Ya, would you like to continue studying medicine at the academy?"

Chun Ya's eyes gleamed with longing as she nodded vigorously, "Sister Qiao, I want to stay. But you don't know, my scoundrel brother is a real rogue, and I... I'm worried he'll cause you trouble."

Qiao Jingjing patted her shoulder: "Let's not worry about anything else for now. I just want to ask you, do you have the determination to keep learning?"

Chun Ya nodded heavily: "Sister Qiao, I want to continue learning, just like Master Guo. She understands many principles and can learn a lot by reading books. I don't want to be like a blind person who doesn't know anything for the rest of my life."

Qiao Jingjing smiled and continued, "Then, if I asked you to sign a contract of servitude with me, would you be willing?"
