Chapter 140 She was so poor she went to tomb raiding

She waved her hands excitedly: "Father! Mother! Brother!"

Upon hearing the shouts, the Jiang family members immediately rushed to greet them.

But before the joy on their faces could fade, all eyes were drawn to her legs, which were in splints.

Madam Yun's expression immediately changed, and she grabbed her hand with concern: "My Tang'er, how did your leg get injured?"

"I just accidentally fell off the horse, it's nothing serious."

Jiang Yutang awkwardly explained, and then took Yun's hand, only to find that her palm was no longer as delicate as before, and there were slight peeling and needle scars on her fingertips.

He must have been mending clothes all night to wear his hands down like this.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Jiang Shengan stood to the side, his voice a little hoarse, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes revealed his fatigue.

Jiang Songzhi added with a wry smile, "Dad hasn't been able to sleep all night these days, and Mom has secretly cried in her room several times, all because she's afraid something might happen to you two on the front lines."

Jiang Huaiyu straightened her back, her lips opening and closing as if she wanted to say something but couldn't, her words turning into heartache and helplessness.

Jiang Yutang's nose tingled, and she reached out to hug Yun Shi's shoulder, choking back tears as she said, "I'm sorry for making my parents worry."

She looked around but didn't see Zhu Shi: "Where is my second sister-in-law?"

Mu carried Xiaoxiao forward, her brows furrowing slightly as she smiled: "Zhu is heavily pregnant, and her legs have been swollen so badly lately that she can't get out of bed at all."

"Have you seen Dr. Xu yet?" she asked quickly.

Jiang Jiuze slowly shook his head and sighed, "I looked at it, but the effect was minimal."

"Don't worry, I'll go back and check on my second sister-in-law."

Jiang Yutang wanted to get out of the car, and her two older brothers carefully helped her down, one on each side.

At this moment, the accompanying soldiers were preparing to disperse and return to their camp to report for duty.

Jiang Yutang subconsciously looked at Cheng Lanzhou and found him standing not far away, talking with Cheng Daier and Lin Shi.

So they came too.

The other soldiers were already urging him to return to his unit. After quickly saying a few words to his family, Jiang Huaiyu turned around and joined the ranks of the soldiers.

After saying goodbye to her family, Cheng Lanzhou's gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Jiang Yutang.

He seemed to have noticed her gaze long ago; the corners of his previously tense lips curved into a slight smile, and he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Jiang Yutang pursed her lips and nodded in response. When no one was looking, she secretly made a "bye-bye" gesture to him, and playfully wiggled her fingertips.

Cheng Lanzhou turned and walked to the front of the group, her posture as upright as a pine tree, standing out among the soldiers. Her hair, tied up, swayed gently with her steps.

Seeing this, Jiang Yutang couldn't help but curse inwardly: It's unreasonable that even his back view is so beautiful!

Jiang Songzhi bent down and carried her on his back, and then the family walked towards the tent.

From afar, they could see the warm yellow light emanating from inside the tent. As soon as the curtain was lifted, Jiang Yutang called out, "Second Sister-in-law, I'm back!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Shi, who was inside the tent, immediately tried to get up, a gentle smile spreading across her face.

Jiang Yutang took a closer look, and Zhu's appearance startled her.

However, after only half a month, her whole body had swelled up, her hands and feet were as round as steamed buns, and even her cheeks looked abnormally puffy.

"Don't get up, just lie down."

Jiang Yutang sat on Zhu's bed and instructed his family to light two more oil lamps, making the room brightly lit.

She held Zhu's ankle and pressed it gently. When she removed her fingertips, a deep indentation was immediately left on her skin, which did not heal for a long time.

She carefully touched her high, protruding belly, her brows furrowing.

This belly was much larger than any other pregnant woman she had seen at the same stage of pregnancy. Her skin was taut and even had a faint bluish-purple tinge, with veins faintly visible.

This is bad. She never expected that Zhu's condition would deteriorate to this extent so soon after she left.

"Are you feeling very uncomfortable?" Jiang Yutang asked softly, her fingertips no longer daring to apply pressure.

Zhu smiled weakly: "My legs are terribly swollen, and I can't sleep well at night, but otherwise I'm fine."

Jiang Yutang felt heavy-hearted. She was not an expert in difficult and complicated cases in obstetrics and gynecology, and with her current medical skills, she could not possibly make a judgment about Zhu's current condition.

If only we could take her back to the modern world for a checkup.

The thought flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but wonder: taking the items back was fine, but what about the person?

But she quickly dismissed the idea.

In this feudal and decadent ancient era, if she really did such a thing, she might be regarded as some kind of monster.

She needs to return to the modern world and consult with an obstetrician-gynecologist at the hospital to determine a treatment plan.

She looked around; only three oil lamps were lit in the tent, their dim yellow light flickering on and off.

Having spent a long time in the military camp, I've become accustomed to the environment where countless torches illuminate the darkness.

The tent at that moment gave her the illusion that she was in a poor mountainous area, feeling backward and helpless.

Now that we've returned safely and retrieved the book, we'll head back to the modern world tonight. We can both seek medical help for Zhu and visit Grandpa in the hospital.

Jiang Yutang asked Zhu a few more questions in detail. She was about to find paper and pen to write them down when she picked up the brush and realized that she didn't know how to write.

"Second brother, could you please help me? I fell off my horse and hurt my hand." Jiang Yutang pushed the paper and pen over with a pitiful expression.

Jiang Jiuze picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write with a light flick of his wrist.

She read aloud from the side, her gaze fixed on the rice paper. The characters were flowing and elegant yet well-structured, a truly beautiful hand.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

She picked up the paper with the writing on it and looked at Jiang Jiuzhe with admiration. His bold and beautiful handwriting was nothing like that of Shen Wen's second brother.

In the stillness of the night, the steady breathing of family members could be heard from inside the tent.

Jiang Yutang suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes flashing with a sharp light. She quietly got up, enduring the pain in her legs, and moved to the side of the bundle on one foot, taking the antique she had exchanged earlier to the bed.

She then hid under the covers, pulled out a book, and wiped the blood on the yellowed pages, where it was instantly absorbed by the paper.

When she came to her senses, she was already in a familiar store in her modern home.

Sunlight streamed in through the French windows, illuminating the coarse cloth bundle at his feet.

She habitually hobbled towards the bedroom, but after taking only two steps, she realized that in modern times, her leg was not injured at all!

Jiang Yutang jumped up and down in retaliation, humming a little tune as she walked into the bedroom to get her backpack and pack her things.

She first took out her phone and dialed Liu the Glasses' number.

“Hey Mr. Liu, I have a batch of ‘new goods’ here. Do you have time to come and collect them?” Jiang Yutang asked directly.

A light laugh came from the other end of the phone: "What a coincidence, I'm visiting your grandfather at the hospital right now, why don't you just come over?"

Jiang Yutang's eyebrows twitched. Did Liu Glasses mean that she should bring out all the antiques she had acquired from ancient times and discuss their value in front of her grandfather?

If Grandpa asks about the origin of these things, how should she explain it?

You can't exactly say you went on a business trip to ancient times, can you?

What a joke! It would be more believable to say she was so desperate for money that she went tomb raiding with a bunch of bandits!

"Hello? Miss Jiang?"
