With a shiver, Gu Nian was jolted awake. Her eyes widened as she looked at the peach in her hand that she had just bitten. She could taste the sweetness of the peach in her mouth.

What was going on? Wasn’t she daydreaming? How did she get a peach?

Gu Nian took another bite and ate it happily. Soon, she was full after eating a big peach.

Gu Nian closed her eyes and used her heart to feel that place. When she saw that scene again, she was so excited that she almost screamed.

The heavens had indeed treated her well. Although she was sent to this godforsaken place, they had given her a life-saving divine weapon.

On the other side, the further Lin Sanshui walked, the clearer Gu Nian’s voice and figure became in his mind.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, and a look of struggle flashed across his face.

The child was so young. Her mother was gone, and her brother had run away. How was she going to live on her own?

Gu Nian was a good child. Although she was skinny, she had good facial features. Moreover, she was obedient and sensible.

But her twin brother was so vicious. He was so young, but he poisoned many people mercilessly. Lin Sanshui trembled with fear when they thought about it.

However, after thinking about it carefully, it was not incomprehensible.

The young kid’s mother and sister had been killed. If this tragedy happened to Lin Sanshui, he would probably hate the villagers too.

In the end, Lin Sanshui still could not bear to leave Gu Nian alone, so he drove the donkey cart back.

From afar, Lin Sanshui could see Gu Nian sitting at the same spot where he had left her. Gu Nian’s tiny body was leaning against the tree with her arms around her legs and her head resting on her knees.

She looked so pitiful.

..

It was hard to travel at night, especially since the mountain path was full of potholes.

Gu Nian’s little head hit the floor of the cart, and she woke up with a cry.

She opened her eyes and looked at the starry sky. She sat up suddenly and looked in front of her.

“Uncle?” Seeing that it was Lin Sanshui, Gu Nian’s big eyes were filled with surprise. “Didn’t you leave?”

Lin Sanshui sighed helplessly. “I was afraid that you would be kidnapped by someone in the middle of the night, so I came back!

In fact, it was the case.

Lin Sanshui carried Gu Nian to the cart and traveled a long distance, but she could hold on until now. She was really in a deep sleep.

“Uncle, are you going to bring me home?” Gu Nian was a little nervous, but her eyes were filled with hope.

Even if the interspace was real, her body was only six years old. Everyone in the village wanted to beat her up, so she did not have a place to go.

Although the Lin family was not rich, the husband and wife were both kind people. If they were willing to adopt her, it would be the best for her.

Lin Sanshui patted Gu Nian’s head with his free hand but did not answer.

Now that Lin Sanshui had brought Gu Nian back, he definitely would not abandon her away. But he still hesitated about adopting Gu Nian because of her complicated background.

Gu Nian could see Lin Sanshui’s struggle, so she did not pursue the matter.

Lin Sanshui was her savior. Whether he decided to adopt her or not, he had already done his best to help her.

Lin Sanshui was not in a hurry to return at night. When he passed a village, he found a farmer and spent five coins to stay the night.

By the next afternoon, Lin Sanshui finally brought Gu Nian back to his home.

Upon hearing the donkey’s cry, Mrs. Jiang walked out of the door with a smile on her face. However, before she could say anything, she saw Gu Nian sitting on the donkey cart.

The expression on her face froze. She could not wait to ask what was going on, but she did not dare to because Gu Nian was still there.

Fortunately, the two boys immediately surrounded Gu Nian when they saw her return. Xiaohu, in particular, was extremely excited.

Lin Sanshui carried Gu Nian down from the donkey cart and instructed his two sons to take her to the side to play before entering the house with Mrs. Jiang.
