Chapter 1 1. Crossing
The wind in late autumn reveals a deep coolness.

Yun Yao was dizzy, her mouth was dry, she frowned, raised her right hand and rubbed her temple weakly, and groped to get up from the bed.

Her squinted eyes gradually adapted to the light, she opened them, and then froze.

What the hell is this place?

She widened her eyes and looked around, knocking here and touching there. Although the window was not open, the thatched cottage was very bright.

Because there's a big hole in the roof
Yu An heard the sound and knew that Yun Yao had woken up, so he knocked on her door with the prepared medicine.

Yun Yao wanted to come in, but when he opened his mouth, he made a strange voice that didn't belong to humans: "Come in"

She quickly shut up, stepped forward and opened the door.

Standing at the door was a young man who looked like an exiled immortal, his face was like a crown of jade, his skin was like creamy fat, and his facial features were as delicate as carved jade.

The fly in the ointment is that he is somewhat morbidly pale and thin.

At this moment, the young man was standing there holding a bowl of medicine, but Wang Xiang Yunyao's gaze was pitch black and bottomless.The moment he looked at him, Yun Yao seemed to have fallen into a cold pool.

This face seems familiar.
Yun Yao tried to recall, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in her brain. She held her head in her hands and squatted on the ground. Some memories that did not belong to her flooded into her brain like a big explosion of information, and it took her a while to recover.

She crossed.

She traveled to a dynasty with no historical records. This is Ganyu Village, a small village in the northeast of Shaoguo.

The original owner was also called Yunyao. Before yesterday, she lived in Yun's house in the east of the village.

Her parents died when she was five years old, and she has been living with her uncle and aunt since then. She also lived with her grandmother Zhang and her two cousins, one cousin and the other cousin.

The original owner's life was very bad. The Yun family gave her all the hard work, but gave her the least food, and often even didn't give her food for a few days.

When she was in a bad mood, the two cousins ​​would secretly punch and kick her.

Only her cousin Yun Deshun would stand up to protect her, and secretly bring her food, so she didn't starve to death.

Some time ago, Yunyao caught wind and cold, and to put it bluntly, it was just a cold.

But the medicine in the town was very expensive to the villagers, so it was impossible for the Yun family to buy medicine for Yunyao.

Worried about being infected, the Yun family wanted to throw the original owner out, and was afraid of being stabbed in the back by the neighbors, so they threw her in the backyard to confine her, occasionally throwing some spoiled food, and let her fend for herself.

Yun Deshun stole money from the family and wanted to go to the town to buy medicine, but his uncle Yun Zhaohai caught him and locked him in the house to prevent him from coming out.

The original owner is also a hard-working man, and he survived for half a month on a single breath.

When the Yun family was at a loss, Yun Yao rescued a cripple who fell at the door.

The original owner threw the only half of the black and hard steamed bun in his hand to the hungry boy who fell to the ground outside the courtyard.

The Yun family was overjoyed, and immediately forced the young man to marry her on the grounds that men and women were safe, and generously gave the dilapidated thatched cottage to the two.

That night, Yuan himself had a high fever and died.

A cold light flashed in Yun Yao's eyes, she got up slowly, took the warm medicine in Yu An's hand, pinched her nose and drank it in one gulp.

Although the medicine was bitter, the effect was excellent. Yun Yao felt his throat was cool and felt much more comfortable.

Just about to say thank you, there was a knock on the door outside, Yun Yao followed Yu An to open the door, and Yun Deshun was standing outside the door, out of breath.

"Xiao Shun?" Yun Yao was puzzled.

The 12-year-old Xiaoshun is thin, wearing patched clothes, holding a small bag of rice in his hand.

Seeing that Yun Yao was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, then stuffed a small bag of rice into Yun Yao's hand, and said, "Sister, you eat first, and I'll deliver it to you in two days."

After speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

It is estimated that it was smuggled out.

Yun Yao looked at the rice bag in his hand, and suddenly there was a gurgling sound from his stomach.

She covered her stomach, glanced at Yu An who was beside her, and said, "You're hungry too, I'll go cook."

As he spoke, he walked to the stove and quickly added water and firewood, not at all like someone who had just suffered a serious illness.

There is not even a decent tool in the house, only a pitted iron basin and a rusty kitchen knife.

Yun Yao poured nearly half of the rice into the iron basin, and the dust in the rice bag made Yun Yao cough. She was about to add water to wash the rice, when a slender white hand suddenly pinched the basin from the side.

Yu An pulled the basin towards him and said, "I'll come, you go to rest."

Yun Yao nodded slightly, and walked to the side, but did not go to rest. She found two branches of appropriate thickness, folded them into four of almost equal length, cut out two pairs of chopsticks with a kitchen knife, washed them and put them on the side of the stove.

Yu An stared at the two pairs of chopsticks for a moment, as if he didn't expect Yun Yao to have such skills.

Yun Yao patted Yu An's shoulder: "I'll go to the river to wash my face."

Although there was wind leaking from all sides of the thatched cottage, Yunyao still felt a chill when she walked out the door. She came to the river, and the water was still clear. She washed her face and looked at herself in the reflection.

As expected, in the reflection, her skin was sallow, her face was yellow and thin, and her lips were unnaturally bruised.Even though he was 15 years old, he was as thin as twelve or thirteen years old.

Yun Yao looked at the pair of rough chicken feet again, and sighed, this body has lost too much.
There was only one bowl with a gap in the house, which was the one Yunyao used to drink medicine. Yu An cleaned the bowl and filled Yunyao with rice. Yunyao took the rice and began to eat slowly.

There was no table, so the boy put some food in a basin, and sat aside and ate with difficulty.

Looking at the young man who was working hard, Yun Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The boy was suddenly a little embarrassed, he stopped chewing, and the base of his ear was flushed with unnatural blush.

"Where did you get the money to buy the medicine?" Yun Yao forcibly changed the subject.

Yu An paused, put down the basin, and said, "I went to the town to pawn a jade pendant, it's not important."

"Oh," Yun Yao nodded, "Thank you."

She secretly remembered this matter in her heart.

It's been a long time since I had a good meal. In order not to hurt my stomach, the two of them were chewing slowly. They actually ate this meal for half an hour.

"I'm done eating. I'll go out for a while. I'll leave the washing up to you." Yun Yao stood up, and before Yu An could say anything, he hurried out.

Before he had gone a few steps, he saw Zhao Xiaoqin, the little daughter-in-law who lived across the street, walking towards her, holding a quilt in her hands and a veil tied on her face.

She was worried about catching the cold, but she still wanted to help Yunyao.

"You're up! That's great." Zhao Xiaoqin said pleasantly: "I found another quilt, if you don't mind it, use it."

"Thank you." Yun Yao took the quilt and said, "Can you lend me a pannier?"

Zhao Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, she felt that Yunyao had changed, in the past she would never take the initiative to seek help from others, she would just lower her head pitifully, making people sympathetic and angry at the same time.

"I have a lot of backpacks, I'll give you one." Zhao Xiaoqin happily went back to pick up the basket.

Yun Yao carried the quilt to Yu An's room and spread it on his cold bed.

There is a bigger hole in his roof.

Yun Yao glanced at Yu An who was washing the basin. He put his crutches aside, leaned his shoulders against the wall to prevent his left leg from being stressed, and rubbed the inside of the basin with all his heart.

Yun Yao withdrew his gaze, went out to take the pannier that Zhao Xiaoqin brought over, thanked him, and walked up the path up the mountain.
