Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The woman held the little girl and stood up, her eyes blurred with tears as she wanted to pull the little girl to kneel before Lin Wanwan: "Big Ya, thanks to this young lady saving you, quickly kowtow to your benefactor."

"No, no, no! Don’t!" Lin Wanwan, frightened, quickly reached out to help, as the modern concept of equality rooted in her soul couldn’t accept others kneeling before her.

But the woman and the little girl, who had just stopped crying, still indeed knelt and bowed heavily to Lin Wanwan before standing up.

After experiencing such an event, the woman had lost the heart to sell fish. But when she packed up her stall, she found that of the remaining two fish, one had been trampled to death, and her heart twisted in pain at the loss of four coins!

Lin Wanwan watched as the woman, looking heartbroken, picked up the dead fish and put it into the bamboo basket beside her, feeling a surge of emotion. The people here seed to have very tough conditions to live in, as there were no brightly colored clothes in sight, many even patched and nded.

Lin Wanwan sighed, withdrew her gaze from scanning her surroundings, nodded lightly at the woman, and was about to leave.

The woman hurriedly spoke up: "May I know where the benefactor lives? I would like, when I have a chance, to send so seafood to repay your kindness. We fishern have nothing much else of value, hope you won’t mind."

Lin Wanwan smiled: "It was just a small effort, nothing worth ntioning."

At this mont, Lin ngli’s voice suddenly rang out: "ngbo’s family? Big Ya, what happened to you?"

Lin ngli, having heard the commotion, had co over to see what was going on. He hadn’t seen Lin Wanwan rescue anyone, but when he saw the disheveled woman and the big Ya crying her heart out, he knew sothing must have happened.

The woman, known as ngbo’s family, looked at Lin ngli in surprise, then recounted the incident to him, repeatedly emphasizing: "Thanks to this esteed lady, otherwise, our Big Ya, our Big Ya... it was really too dangerous just now. If sothing had happened to Big Ya right under my eyes, I wouldn’t want to live either."

Lin ngli quickly turned back to bow to Lin Wanwan: "We owe it all to Wan Niang."

He then said to ngbo’s family: "This Wan Niang is also from our Houtao Lin family, what a coincidence, it seems destined by heaven."

After introducing both parties to each other, Lin Wanwan learned that the woman’s na was Lin Qin.

The Big Ya, who had stopped crying, looked at the little Qingyu holding a sugar figure, suddenly said: "Stinky Girl?"

Little Qingyu’s body shook when she heard this na, and she couldn’t help but bury her head into Lin Wanwan’s skirt, like an ostrich hiding in the sand.

Lin Wanwan felt a little strange, but didn’t push the little one away, instead, she said to Lin Qin: "You busy yourself, I’m leaving now, see you at the clan gathering at the end of the month."

After pulling the little one to a quiet place, Lin Wanwan softly asked: "Does Little Yuer know that big Ya just now?"

Little Qingyu kept her head down, silent.

Lin Wanwan then rubbed her little head: "It’s okay if Little Yuer doesn’t want to talk, we won’t talk. If you feel like it in the future, you can tell mommy."

Hearing this, Little Qingyu raised her head and nervously said: "I-I seem to have seen her, she lives in front of Auntie’s house. Auntie and the others call stinky girl. I... I’m not stinky, I’m not a stinky girl, I’m Little Yuer."

Lin Wanwan affird: "Of course, you’re not a stinky girl, you are mommy’s Little Yuer!"

How coincidental it was that the child she picked up in the Great Tang turned out to be from the Lin family, truly a wonderfully inexplicable fate.

In the following days, Lin Wanwan often took Qingyu to the streets to observe the different aspects of life in a small town of the Great Tang. Soon, people in the town learned there was a reclusive guest from the mountains who had co to join the world, quite generously, perhaps with imnse wealth from a family fortune.

Lin Wanwan even hired a carriage to visit the small creek town where the county governnt was located just to gain so historical insight. At the Cow and Horse Market in the creek town, Lin Wanwan picked two horses and personally designed and ordered a custom improved carriage and a light carriage.

Afterward, for the convenience of transporting things back and forth, Lin Wanwan, through Lin ngli’s introduction, found a broker and rented a courtyard house in Wanghai Town as a cover.

During this ti, the modernized version of ancient costus Lin Wanwan bought also arrived, including a large box of children’s silk ancient costus for Little Qingyu. The modernized version of ancient costus looks traditional on the outside but are very convenient and modern to wear. Most importantly, they are cool, very suitable for Lin Wanwan, who has the soul of a modern person, to wear in the sumr of the Tang Dynasty.

The local people of the Tang Dynasty, surprisingly, did not wear underwear, n just wore a simple loincloth when bathing in the river. She accidentally saw this scene while dining at the inn one evening, which really startled Lin Wanwan. Her Little Qingyu couldn’t be without underwear; children’s all-cotton underwear must be arranged.

Dressing up and feeding Little Qingyu beca an essential part of Lin Wanwan’s life in the Great Tang.

Besides clothing and food, Lin Wanwan also bought many good quality seeds from modern tis.

The common people of the Great Tang were really too pitiable. According to her observation, although this was the Zhen Guan Period, reportedly a prosperous era, food prices were not high, yet hunger still lurked in the corners.

To say nothing else, just the fact that people in the small town only ate two als a day was astounding. Is it because they aren’t hungry? Of course not, it’s simply because there isn’t enough food. No wonder in the Great Tang, being fat was seen as beautiful; to be able to eat oneself fat also indirectly proved one had good conditions and wealth, and who doesn’t like that? Such has been the case throughout history.

When Lin Wanwan was in modern tis, she specifically visited the city library to check information about the Zhen Guan third year of the Great Tang, which ntioned not only droughts and the accompanying locust plagues, but also floods that ca in autumn, it was absolutely a ti of many disasters.

For Li Shimin to eliminate the Turkic and create a prosperous era amidst such a disaster-prone environnt, his skills must have been superb. Lin Wanwan felt rather satisfied being a citizen under his rule. If her Space-Ti Jade Bracelet had sent her to the chaotic river diverting era of the Great Qing Dynasty, she would have been utterly depressed.

Since fate had allowed her to travel through ti to the center of the universe, the Great Tang, she must certainly bring sothing, so as not to let this magical journey go in vain.

Apart from the large purchases, the transfer procedures for the small villa were also completed, and the villa belonged solely to Lin Wanwan, with her na the only one on the property deed, ensuring no one could take it away ever again.

Lin Zhantian and Xie Yuanying were always curious about how Lin Wanwan paid off the entire house paynt and taxes in one go; they hinted several tis, and even restored the phone numbers that were previously blocked, attempting to play the role of the affectionate uncle and filial niece with Lin Wanwan.

However, Lin Wanwan, now having the soft, endearing little Qingyu, didn’t care at all about any hypocritical sentints.

The great writer Dostoevsky said: "Being with children can save your soul."

Lin Wanwan felt this sentence spoke to her heart; being with Little Qingyu she indeed found her soul redeed. Sotis, she even felt it wasn’t Little Qingyu who couldn’t do without her, but rather it was she who couldn’t do without Little Qingyu.

Though they had only been living together for just over half a month, she already felt that Little Qingyu had beco an indispensable part of her life.

Even though the Tang Dynasty had no air conditioning or comfortable bedding, Lin Wanwan still preferred the slow-paced life of the Great Tang compared to modern tis, because here she had Little Qingyu—who solely depended on her with all her heart and would never betray her.
