Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 756: Ancient Village Beneath the Cliff

There’s a village at the bottom of this cliff. Great, Qian Cheng must have been rescued by the people in the village. Just the thought of Qian Cheng being saved lifted Jiang Xue’s spirits immensely.

Jiang Xue dashed towards the village, quickly arriving at the entrance. As she saw the three large characters ’Taoyuan Village’ written on the gate eave, she stopped in her tracks, stunned.

Taoyuan Village? Could it be the village written about in Tao Yuanming’s The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring? But why does this village look so different from any village she had seen before?

At a glance, there weren’t many households in the village, about a few dozen. However, each household had a small courtyard.

Some courtyards were new, some were old, some were in good condition, and some were dilapidated. It was obvious that the villagers lived relatively modest lives.

However, the village was at the bottom of the cliff, and there didn’t seem to be any fields nearby. What did the villagers eat?

Thinking about this, Jiang Xue continued to walk into the village. Since it was morning, there were hardly any people around, and Jiang Xue wanted to find someone to ask about the situation, but it wasn’t possible.

With no other choice, Jiang Xue walked to a household outside the village and knocked on the courtyard gate. The door was opened by a woman wearing coarse cloth clothes, resembling an ancient long gown.

Seeing the woman’s attire, Jiang Xue was taken aback, thinking she had stepped into ancient times or onto the set of a historical drama.

Likewise, the woman who opened the door was also surprised to see Jiang Xue’s clothing. It took a while before she asked, "Is there something you need, girl?"

"Madam, I come from outside. I would like to ask you something."

"Girl, we don’t accept outsiders in our village. You should leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the village chief finds out."

As soon as the woman heard Jiang Xue was from outside, she quickly waved her away. She hadn’t forgotten that another outsider had come before and almost ruined the village. Since then, the village chief had ordered that no outsiders were to be taken in.

"Madam, I’m leaving right away, but I just want to ask if your village has recently rescued a severely injured person?"

The reason Jiang Xue suspected that Qian Cheng was severely injured was due to inferring from the sight of a corpse. The cliff was so high, without spatial abilities, she would also have turned into a pulp.

Moreover, earlier the Little Fox had told her that Qian Cheng wouldn’t be in mortal danger. In that case, he must have been severely injured; otherwise, Qian Cheng would have found a way to contact everyone or leave the place.

But she had just checked and found nothing. Then there was only one possibility left: Qian Cheng was gravely injured.

"You better leave, I don’t know anything!" The woman urged Jiang Xue to leave, even though she knew about the person the village had saved, she didn’t dare to tell Jiang Xue.

However, even though the woman didn’t say anything, Jiang Xue had been observing her. When she asked the question, the brief flicker of surprise in the woman’s eyes was clear to Jiang Xue.

Therefore, she was sure Qian Cheng must be in the village. But how could she see Qian Cheng?

Furthermore, from the woman’s words, Jiang Xue guessed that the villagers were dismissive of outsiders, otherwise, the woman wouldn’t be trying to make her leave.

But how did Qian Cheng get in? She’s an outsider, so is Qian Cheng not one?

Or perhaps the person who saved Qian Cheng holds an unusual status in the village?

Admittedly, Jiang Xue was very clever, guessing correctly in one go. The person who saved Qian Cheng was indeed unusual, she was the village chief’s daughter, the little princess of the entire village.
