Chapter 617 Beginning to Lay the Groundwork

an spies hidden within Mongol territory were exposed, resulting in numerous casualties. However, for the sake of the princess, the Emperor didn't hesitate even for a moment.Now that the Mongol forces..."Will she be a doctor in the future"

"Well, he's a pretty good emergency doctor."

The evaluation of the millstone is objective.

"I know what to do, thanks for your information support!"

"Best of luck with your mission!"

Instead of the relationship between stone mill and ripples, turn to look at that traveler.

When Yunsi opened her eyes, she found herself leaning against the stove. Her dirty hair fell over her face, causing a moment of confusion. She remembered having neat short hair, though it was short, it was of good quality. It was completely different from the straw-like hair in front of her.

Then Yun Siyu rubbed her head, she remembered she had an argument with the patient, then was pushed down, knocked over the ambulance and was slashed on the carotid artery by a surgical knife before passing out.

Yun Siyu dropped her hand from her forehead, and as she did, she noticed her own hands were withered and thin, the veins clearly visible. There were thick calluses on them, a testament to years of strenuous labor.

...and he himself was wearing a dull-gray hooded robe. His lower body was clad in pants of the same color, patched and clearly too short, revealing his ankles. The shoes on his feet were so small that they even exposed his big toes, with half of his heel sticking out.

Just as she was daydreaming, an elderly woman with a stooped posture walked in. Her face was etched with wrinkles, her skin rough and her hair half white, but it was meticulously combed into a bun and placed at the back of her head. She wore a deep blue coat, black pants that reached her ankles, and black cloth shoes. Although the clothes were not new, they at least didn't have patches.

"Xiaoyu, I called you for ages, why didn't you say anything What are you doing hiding here Is dinner ready yet Your husband is still waiting to eat after school!"

The old woman said in a harsh voice.

"I"

Yun Si Yu immediately felt something was wrong. She stood up directly, but because she stood up too abruptly, she knocked over the small stool beneath her. Then, everything went black before her eyes, and she fell headfirst to the ground.

At the same time she fell, she subconsciously grabbed the old woman. In the old woman's terrified eyes, both of them fell to the ground. The back of the old woman's head hit the kitchen door frame directly and she didn't even have time to scream before fainting. All that could be seen was blood slowly seeping from the back of her head.

Not until dusk fell did a boy, about twelve years old and carrying a satchel, push open the decrepit door and shout:

"Mother! I'm back! Is dinner ready"

The boy called out, then realized something was wrong because there were no lights in the house. He groped inside and lit a candle. He searched the main room but couldn't find his mother. He immediately frowned and shouted:

"Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu! Where did you die"

At last, the boy went to the kitchen with a candle and saw two people lying on the ground covered in blood. He was so scared that he sat down on the floor and screamed for help.

Because it was dinner time, and there were people in every household on both sides, the moment they heard the boy's heart-wrenching scream, they knew something was wrong. They immediately came out of their homes in small groups.

"Tiger, what's wrong"

"Uncle, my mother and daughter-in-law are dead on the ground!"

The little tiger finally cried when he saw a person.

Upon hearing that someone had died, no one dared to enter rashly and immediately went to find the police. These people are responsible for maintaining daily law and order.

There were a lot of people gathered at Huzi's doorstep, but no one dared to go inside until a patrol arrived. Someone took the lead and went in, following Huzi's direction. They saw two people lying in the kitchen, one face up and the other face down.

The police captain, bold as brass, went to investigate. He found the old woman lying on her back, having seemingly hit her head and was dead. The other woman, pale and thin, lay face down with a faint breath. He immediately waved his hand.

"This one still has a pulse, you two take her to Edward Hospital nearby and see if they can save her."

"Yes, Captain!"

Immediately, someone brought a stretcher and placed the emaciated Yun Siyu on it, carrying her away directly.

Then the police captain began to question Tiger, the only one in the family who could speak about what happened.

"Officer, I don't know anything! I just finished school and was playing outside with my classmates for a while. I got hungry, so I wanted to go home for dinner."

"When I walked in, I found the house dark. There were no lights on. I called for my mother and Xiaoyu, but there was no answer. I took a candle and went over myself, and then I saw that they were both lying on the ground, lifeless. That's when I ran out to call for help."

Although Tiger was stuttering and spoke in fragments, he managed to explain the situation clearly.

Next, the patrol officer began asking people nearby if the house had any enemies.

“That’s not true. There are only three of them in the family. They just moved here a year ago. Tiger is studying at a local school, and his mother does some laundry work to make a living. Besides buying groceries, they don't go out much.”

Their family's Xiaoyu is the most timid. When she sees us, she always keeps her head down, but she's very efficient at work. All the chores in their house are done by Xiaoyu. I heard Huzizi's mother say once that Xiaoyu was the wife she found for her son. She'll be married off to Huzizi when he's older.

A woman wearing a floral headscarf and her hair in a bun was chattering incessantly, clearly someone who never keeps their mouth shut.

A gaunt-faced woman who lived next door to Huzi said:

“Ai! Little Yu is also quite unfortunate. She's called Tiger's daughter-in-law, but she's not even considered a servant. She's always hungry and cold. You saw her when she came out just now, right The clothes she was wearing were only slightly better than those of a beggar.”

"Tiger's mother is quite the actress, Xiaoyu doesn't usually dress like this when she goes out."

Someone immediately chimed in.

That old woman is the most cunning and stingy. She always tries to get a good deal and would never buy new clothes for Xiaoyu. The fact that she's dressed up today is only because she's afraid of what people will say if she doesn't.

"Hi! You expect to be treated well when you're free labor"

Everyone talked at once, sharing what they knew, and gradually the conversation went off topic.

But the policeman wasn't a fool. He understood right away that this old woman was abusing her future daughter-in-law named Xiaoyu.

After asking the surrounding neighbors, the captain went to the hospital. At least there was one living person there who should be able to explain the situation.

At this time, Yun Si Yu had already woken up, but she didn't open her eyes. Instead, she was in her mind accepting the memories of entering this body. They were a bit scattered and blurry, making it feel like something was wrong with this girl's brain.

Once her memories had been digested, she became rather angry.

At this moment, a voice with a peculiar tone rang in his ears.

"Captain Sun, this girl is clearly suffering from long-term abuse. If you had been any later, she would have starved to death. Fainting is a natural self-protective response of the body, allowing her to fall into sleep and reduce energy expenditure."

"Doctor Rosen, when will she wake up I need to ask her something. Her mother-in-law is dead, the body has just been taken back to the station, and they want to close the case as soon as possible."

"Poor child, should wake up in another hour." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As soon as Rosen finished speaking, Yun Si Yu timely opened her eyes."The ripples didn't care and immediately took out her transmission jade slip, sending a message about the appearance of evil cultivators in the secret realm. She also stated that the other party would...
