Chapter 2, Xiao Family.

It has to be said that ancient scholars were indeed quite talented. For example, the predecessor of Xiao Mo, who, at the age of fifteen, had already read many ancient books and had some knowledge of history. After Xiao Mo organized it, he finally understood what kind of dynasty the An Dynasty, where he currently resides, was.

However, what Xiao Mo doesn't know is that due to his long-term illness in recent years, coupled with last year's severe drought, the harvest in the fields has been reduced by more than half compared to previous years. Therefore, the Xiao family is now in a desperate situation!

However, Xiao Mo did not think much about history. Since he had arrived, he had accepted it. Now that he had figured out what kind of place this world was, the next thing Xiao Mo needed to consider was how to survive in this world!

Doctor Hu said: "Big sister, for the sake of our fellow villagers, let's waive the consultation fee! If the scholar can recover, I will also be happy in my heart. After all, he is the only scholar in our Changle town!"

Although she was puzzled in her heart, Meng Qiuxiang ultimately didn't say anything. She sighed and got up, leaving Xiao Mo's room.

Uncle, Dr. Hu is here!

How are you? Meng Qiuxiang asked Dr. Hu as soon as they met.

However, looking at the posture of that young girl, who else could she be talking about if not herself?

After speaking, Doctor Hu smiled at Meng Qiuxiang and then bowed to take his leave.

After a moment, Doctor Hu stood up and said, "Scholar Lang, please rest more. It's not advisable to expose yourself to the wind these days. Focus on recuperating. I will prescribe a remedy. If nothing unexpected happens, you should recover within seven days!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo slowly reached out his hand and took the medicine bowl from Meng Qiuxiang's hand. Then he drank it all in one gulp. After finishing the medicine, he suppressed the urge to vomit and said, "I want to be alone for a while, you..."

Faintly came the sound of someone sobbing in the ear, Xiao Mo reluctantly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the tiled roof. Moving his gaze downward, he saw the dilapidated adobe wall, followed by a very ancient wooden bed. Beside the wooden bed, there was a quiet and fair-skinned young girl who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with her hair in a bun, dressed in a linen gown, and adorned in the attire of an ancient woman, quietly sobbing.

``Nourishing...'' Meng Qiuxiang's face showed a look of embarrassment, but she still took the prescription handed to her by Doctor Hu, and then calmly said, "Thank you, Doctor, for the consultation fee..."

In my dream, it seems that I had a very strange dream, some memories that do not belong to me began to appear in my mind.

Moreover, Xiaomo didn't have time to think much anymore. It has to be said that his current physical condition is really weak. He just got up and stood for a while, but then he felt dizzy and had to go back to bed. At this moment, there was a knocking sound outside the door.

The woman replied, "Child, are you not confused due to illness? This is your home!"

Xiao Mo, styled as Ziheng, is 18 years old this year. He passed the entrance examination three years ago and obtained the title of Xiucai. However, after passing the examination, he fell ill with a strange disease and has been bedridden for a long time. This is the information about Xiao Mo.

Who are you? Where am I?

Xiao Morton paused, knowing that it was not quite right to address the person in this way, but he couldn't help himself. He had called a stranger "mother" and now he had to continue, saying, "Can you please step aside?"

Doctor Hu touched the goat's beard and said, "Young scholar, don't be polite, I will prescribe medicine right away!"

After Xiao Mo looked down upon it, he suddenly realized that the world he seemed to have crossed into was somewhat different from the historical dynasties he knew.

Upon regaining consciousness again, Xiao Mo only felt weak and powerless, to the point where even opening his eyes was difficult.

Meng Qiuxiang frowned upon hearing this. "As the saying goes, no one knows a child better than their parents." She knew Xiao Mo's temperament very well and knew that she would never say such things to her own mother. Could it be that her personality had changed after a serious illness?

Disorder. This is a comment from Xiao Mo on this dynasty. After learning about some events that have happened in recent years in An Dynasty, Xiao Mo couldn't help but sigh and say, this is basically a dynasty that combines Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty. And the current An Dynasty is like the Northern Song Dynasty.

Xiao Mo became confused. At this moment, Meng Qiuxiang noticed that the medicine seemed to have cooled down, so she scooped it up with a spoon and brought it to Xiao Mo's mouth, saying, "Son, come, drink your medicine!"

Where is this exactly?

Doctor Hu replied, "The scholar's illness is basically not a big problem anymore. I will prescribe another prescription. After warming and nourishing for a few days, the root of the disease should be eliminated. However, taking care of the body during the recovery period is crucial. The scholar's body is currently very weak and needs to be well nourished!"

Doctor Hu smiled at the words and said, "Easy, easy!" Then he left the Xiao family's courtyard.

Not bad, at least it didn't make me travel back to a baby's body, otherwise I'm afraid I would go crazy!

Because in another memory of Xiao Mo, this dynasty is called the An Dynasty, and as far as Xiao Mo knows, from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to modern history, there is no such dynasty at all.

Uncle? It can't be referring to me, right!

Xiao Mo shook his head, and then he realized something.

Just like before the time travel, the history of this world also starts from the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, and it wasn't until the end of the Sui Dynasty that changes occurred. The Tang Dynasty, which was supposed to appear here, disappeared, and was replaced by the An Dynasty. After hundreds of years of history, the An Dynasty is no longer as powerful as it used to be. Especially after the rise of the Liao Kingdom in the north and the Western Xia in the northwest, a situation of three kingdoms standing side by side with the An Dynasty has formed. In recent years, there have been many wars.

Hello... Xiao Mo called out, but the girl didn't turn back. Xiao Mo could only watch the strange girl leave. After a while, he heard someone outside shouting, "Mother, Uncle woke up, Uncle woke up!"

Xiao Mo shook his head, wondering where he got such a big niece.

The one who came in was an old man with a goat beard. Judging from his attire, he should be the "Doctor Hu" mentioned by Yuniang. Upon seeing Xiaomo lying on the bed, Doctor Hu didn't say a word and immediately took Xiaomo's pulse.

From head to toe, his own body felt completely unfamiliar to Xiao Mo. It was as if this was someone else's body. Coincidentally, the original owner of this body was also named Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo became puzzled and habitually touched the back of his head, only to discover that he had long hair on his head!

Xiao Mo smiled helplessly, and then began to sort out the memories that did not belong to him in his mind.

After seeing the young girl, Xiao Mo was shocked and asked a question. He wanted to sit up, but found that his body was weak and he couldn't move at all! When the woman heard Xiao Mo's voice, she widened her eyes in an incredible expression, then quickly wiped away her tears and ran out of the door.

Accepting memories that do not belong to oneself, this process certainly requires some time. After a long time, Xiao Mo slowly opened his eyes and saw a middle-aged woman in front of him. When the woman saw Xiao Mo waking up, she quickly said, "My child, you finally woke up, thank goodness!"

Jade nodded, glanced at Xiao Mo, then lowered her head and left the room.

"Home?" Xiao Mo asked, then propped himself up with his hands, trying to get up. However, he felt a sudden weakness and couldn't exert any strength with his hands. The woman hurriedly helped Xiao Mo up and let him sit on the bed.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that in Xiao Mo's mind, he clearly remembers that the place where he is located is called Changle Town. Due to the war and last year's severe drought, most of the able-bodied men in this town have either died or fled. Now, only some elderly, weak, sick, and widows who have lost their husbands are left.

What's going on?

Oh, come in.

What does it mean? Is it easy for Laozi to travel through time? I can't believe I was sent to such a ghostly place! There's famine and war, and even a village full of widows, and there's already one in my own family!

The medicine was very bitter. Xiao Mo almost couldn't help but vomit, but in the end, he still swallowed it. Good medicine tastes bitter. After knowing that he had traveled to a strange era, Xiao Mo had no other choice. However, he still needed to figure out what had happened and what kind of world he was currently in.

Although knowing that he had traveled through time, he unexpectedly arrived in a widow village. Xiao Mo couldn't help but feel a little contempt for the heavens in his heart.

Xiao Mo sat on the bed, staring at the woman for a long time. At this moment, the name of this woman, who did not belong to his own memories, suddenly popped up in his mind.

As Meng Qiuxiang left, Xiao Mo reluctantly got out of bed and then examined his body.

My mother? Xiao Mo was surprised, "What a joke, my mother passed away long ago!"

Xiao Mo was finally at a loss. He struggled to sit on the bed and looked around. The small room was filled with an ancient atmosphere - mud walls, tiled roofs, and a quaint wooden desk. On the desk, there were neatly arranged books that seemed to have been around for some time.

Meng Qiuxiang, 48 years old, is Xiao Mo's mother.

At this moment, the young girl who was crying by Xiao Mo's bed earlier walked in with a porcelain bowl in her hand. The woman took the medicine and said to the girl, "Yunniang, go quickly and ask Doctor Hu to come over. Tell him that your uncle has woken up and ask him to come here!"

At this moment, Xiao Mo's mind once again vividly recalled the information about Yu Niang. Qiao Yu Niang, the daughter of Qiao Yuanwai from the neighboring Tongshan Town, is Xiao Mo's elder brother Xiao Hao's wife, also known as Xiao Mo's sister-in-law. She married into the Xiao family three years ago. Due to the timing coinciding with the conscription, although she was also a scholar, Xiao Hao had no official position, so he couldn't be exempted. Before he had the chance to consummate his marriage with Yu Qin, Xiaofeng went north to join the army. It has been three years since he left, and he has not returned to this day. It is said that he died in the chaos of war, and the court has confirmed Xiao Hao's death and provided the Xiao family with a pension.

Having said that, Doctor Hu and Yuniang left the room and entered the hall.

Meng Qiuxiang didn't know what to say for a moment. She wanted to keep Doctor Hu, but there was really no money at home to pay for the medical expenses. It was not right to let others make a wasted trip, so she thought for a moment and finally sighed, calling out to Doctor Hu, "Doctor Hu, Sister-in-law will remember this favor!"

"Where is this?" Xiao Mo asked vaguely.

To recover is to recover. What does "if nothing unexpected happens" mean! I've gone through a tough journey, don't let you kill me again! Xiao Mo rolled his eyes in his heart, but on the surface, he respectfully said, "Thank you, doctor!"

Xiao Mo didn't have much time to think, and then everything went black before he fainted again.
