Chapter 540 Transformation
I was really angry, but there was nothing I could do.

What countermeasures can be taken? The people of the Central Plains have a saying: A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.

No matter how powerful and formidable she is, she cannot act arrogantly now that she is on someone else's territory.

Yu Linlang had no idea what Princess Xichuan was thinking, so she went back to her room to rest.

The next day, the number of boats queuing on the river did not decrease. Instead, many large and small boats followed behind.

"Miss, it's not a good idea to just wait like this. Why don't I take two guys and row a small boat to the front to find out the situation?"

Yu Linlang thought about it and realized that there was no point in wasting time waiting here, so she said to Manager Yang, "Look, it's so crowded here, I don't think the boat can fit in."

It was no use releasing water, as there was no way to get through the piles of boats.

"Eight or nine ounces. Go over and find out what's going on."

The work efficiency is too slow. From last night till now, why does it feel like there is not a single ship missing in front?
The two girls clasped their fists and saluted, then "whoosh" rushed forward in front of everyone's sight.

Before the tea time was up, the two flew back to the boat one after the other. They frowned and said, "Miss, those officials only started to work after daybreak. Each of them had a seal in his hand. Only those who passed the seal were allowed to turn into the Pingjiang Prefecture River. Those who failed to pass had to turn back."

"As a result, the boatmen who failed to pass were crying and begging, none of them wanted to turn back, so they all blocked the front."

"There are many controlled boats on the river, and they are not allowed to pass through the outer circle. They are all driven to the pier of the small fishing village and stamped one by one."

"Many of them are indeed refugees from the famine in Qianzhou. They are short of food and clothing along the way. It's really hard to see them suffering."

Jiujin was worried, "Now that Pingjiang Prefecture is under such strict control, if the victims can't reach the shore, won't they be forced to continue floating on the river?"

Ba Liang also said, "I heard that there are no fish or shrimps in the nearby waters. They were all snatched away by the refugees who fled here."

"So the local villagers who were out fishing in the small fishing village are now blocking the way and cursing at everyone they meet."

Yu Linlang sighed, "Then wait a little longer."

The refugees who fled had a hard and difficult life, and the local people had it not easy either. At most, they just wasted some time, and they had nothing to lack, so there was really nothing to complain about.

A group of people were in a depressed mood, but the grassland people still jumped out and made a fuss at this time.

"How long do we have to wait? This won't do." A grassland man frowned and urged, "It's not a good idea to block this place all the time. Don't you Central Plains people have any rules for doing things?"

You must be kidding. If they stay on this boat for one more day, they will have to spend four hundred taels of cash on food. Although they are well-off on this trip, they cannot afford such unbridled spending.

Mu Feng said unhappily, "Then just swim over there by yourself, no one is stopping you."

What if they are happy to be stuck here? There is nothing we can do about it!
The grassland people glared at them as they left. Yu Linlang didn't care about what these people were saying. She went back to her room and sat by the window reading a book. She actually felt a little restless.

Come to think of it, when she, a modern person, first came here, she was quite indifferent to everything.

Especially for someone like her, a test subject who grew up in the experimental city since she was a child, although she never lacked food or clothing, what did she lack? Humanity, yes.

Strictly speaking, before she traveled through time, she was just an emotionless, numb machine.

In addition to being injected with various toxins every day, blood draws, injections, blood draws, injections, some time is also used for entertainment activities. I can read or watch TV, and every week I can be taken to the Experimental City Shopping Center to stroll around and be dressed like a carefree little princess.

It seems that nothing is missing, but in fact what is most lacking is emotion and humanity.

So how did we develop empathy for these ordinary people in ancient times step by step?

Yu Linlang thought, maybe it was after being adopted by the old man...

He was sent to the Yunyin Temple in the Northern Region, had his head shaved, and hung out with fellow monks day after day. Slowly, he began to lose his balance.

From soaking in the Bingpo Snow Pond to detoxify, to going down the mountain every few days to fight cocks and walk the dog, to digging the ground and picking wild vegetables with the villagers at the foot of Yunyin Temple, to running barefoot up the mountain in the snow and ice, carrying six ice buckets, and dragging Senior Brother Tianren and others to the back of the library to roast mushrooms and rabbits.

I tell you brothers and sisters in all seriousness, "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart." It's okay to eat a little, as long as you have a sense of moderation in your heart...

Thinking back now, I can still clearly remember the expression on the Chief Elder’s face as he cried and fainted.

Later, the old man brought her back from the Northern Territory, saying that she was too noisy and caused chaos in the Northern Territory all day long.

Not long after she was brought back to Qiongshan, the old man took great pains to find her a family with healthy parents to support her.

Why?

Thinking about it now, the old man probably saw at the time that her emotions were very flawed. This is a disease that needs to be treated from a young age.

After thinking about it, she herself didn't know how she changed.

Maybe it was because he had noticed along the way that even in big sects like the Yunyin Temple and the Xuanyin Sect, there were many poor children, which deeply touched him.

Why? Because his family was too poor and miserable, and he had no food to eat, so he was sent to another sect to be an outer door cleaner, so that he could learn some skills so that he would not starve to death in the future.

Ordinary children like them from big sects have such a hard life, not to mention the little people who open up wasteland and farm the land.

They are busy all year round, and the food they dig out from the fields is barely enough for the family to eat.

If we encounter floods or droughts like today, the seedlings that have just been planted will be ruined, and we will have to go hungry and have no food in the spring of next year. The key is that if we cannot pay the taxes, we may face the situation of forcible requisition.

What really led to her qualitative transformation was when she was sent to the Su family.

She was an experimental subject, and to put it bluntly, her personality had already been formed. When she was a child, she was very stubborn, and when she was sent to someone else's home, she just ignored them.

She could fiddle with the poisonous flowers and plants in her hands for three days and nights without even looking at them.

How did she get better? She was probably slowly coaxed back to health by her parents, who kept saying, "My dear," "What does she want to eat today?" and "Tomorrow I'll take her out to make some clothes."

People who don’t know the truth only think that she is so nice to the Su family now, but that’s because they know nothing.

People like Mrs. Huo would probably just feel jealous in their hearts that she could be so considerate and gentle to her adoptive parents, but so cruel to her biological parents and brothers.

How could she know how much effort and patience her adoptive parents had put in to dig her out of the cold ground.

Her mother really broke the ice little by little, starting with teaching her to say the first word "Good afternoon", and gradually pulling her out of that closed little world.
