Yu Yi saw her condition and hurriedly shook Xiu Yun, taking a bamboo tube from her bundle and giving her some water to drink: “Aunt Xiu Yun, Aunt Xiu Yun, you can’t faint, hurry and run. Uncle Er Gou will be here to switch shifts soon.” She then took out a small cloth bag from her bundle and handed it to Xiu Yun, “There’s food inside. Take it with you, Aunt Xiu Yun.”
Xiu Yun took the small cloth bag and bamboo tube, choking back tears: “Ling’er, Aunt Xiu Yun will remember your kindness for a lifetime.” She then hurriedly fled from the Min clan ancestral hall.
Yu Yi watched Xiu Yun until her figure disappeared into the distant grove.
Since Min Er Gou hadn’t come to switch shifts yet, she untied the thick hemp rope she had cut, separating it into several thin strands, tied them tightly around her oversized cloth shoes, and then leisurely walked towards the back of the ancestral hall.
Chapter 34 Village Scum (2)
When Yu Yi first saw the mission brief, she had doubts and asked Boss: “Why didn’t we travel back before Min Da An framed Xiu Yun to prevent this conspiracy? If we had, Xiu Yun wouldn’t have had to leave her home and be branded with the reputation of having an affair.”
Boss explained: “If we prevented the frame-up beforehand, given Xiu Yun’s personality, she would likely forgive Min Da An and Xiu Shui. As long as Min Da An wants to harm her, he’ll always find an opportunity. Can you travel back every single time to prevent Min Da An? In any case, the mission requirements were given to me, and you just need to complete the task.”
Yu Yi was surprised: “Aren’t you the one who set the mission?”
Boss said: “The mission is proposed by the client. Their commission requests come in all sorts of ways… this is still a relatively normal mission.”
“Client?” Yu Yi heard another unfamiliar term, “So you are…?”
Boss cleared his throat: “Me? I’m sort of an intermediary who accepts commissions and selects suitable executors to travel through time and space to complete the mission.”
“Are you… a broker?” Yu Yi asked carefully.
“Previous record?” Boss was now confused.
