Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 1,2,3: Awakening

Her head felt like it was splitting apart. After slowly regaining consciousness, Zuo Mei felt a burst of surprise and joy: she's still alive! After personally watching the car fall from a tall cliff, and still be alive, she's really too fortunate! In the mix of surprise and joy, she abruptly sat up, and was stunned, opening her eyes wide in shock.

Surrounding the bed were two boys and a girl, the older boy was about 12 or so, while the younger boy and the little girl looked no older than 8 or 9. The three were wearing old and worn clothes made out of rough cloth, the little girl's flower dress was already so old that the flower pattern could barely seen.

"It was you guys... who saved me?" Zuo Mei asked, the two boys had long hair that was kept bunched up high, she only thought that they were in some place isolated from the world that kept ancient traditions, and wasn't too surprised.

"Jiejie!" With a great wail, the little girl cried as she fell onto her body, breaking out into sobs as she said: "Jiejie, you can't die, you can't die!"

Jiejie?

The almost 30-year-old Zuo Mei could not help but feel a burst of emotion, thinking in her heart: this little girl really knows how to flatter! Even at this age, she still warrants a little girl calling her 'jiejie'... Hearing her cry miserably, Zuo Mei could not resist reaching out and hugging her, gently patting her back.

The little girl's tiny body froze slightly, then she hugged her even more forcefully, sticking even more tightly to her body.

"Fangqing, let go of jiejie, she can't even breathe already." The larger boy quickly reached out to pull the little girl called Fangqing. You could clearly hear a strange excitement in his voice.

Little Fangqing was pulled away, letting out cat-like whines unhappily, but no longer sticking to Zuo Mei, she obediently stood to one side. Sniffling and staring at Zuo Mei with beautiful shiny black eyes, her gaze was full of love. Zuo Mei took a deep breath, and smiled at the older boy: the older ones are more sensible!

"Where is this place? What- what are your names?" Zuo Mei smiled as she questioned the older boy.

The older boy suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring at Zuo Mei with a stunned look, his expression practically spelled out the four words: 'how could this be'. The smile on Zuo Mei's face began to stiffen, and she started to feel a little weird.

"Jiejie!" Before she even had time to ask, the little girl let out a tearful and earth-shattering shout that shocked her. "Jiejie! You don't recognise us anymore? You don't want us anymore? Uuuu..." The little girl fell onto her body again, letting out great cries.

"Don't cry, don't cry! Jiejie won't abandon us, she definitely won't!" The little boy sniffled, clearly wanting to cry but holding it in by biting his lips, shooting a look full of grievance at Zuo Mei, before pulling on Fangqing's sleeve.

That appearance, it was really way too cute! The watching Zuo Mei could not bear it, it was as if she had done something wrong.

"Jiejie," the older boy finally recovered and pulled away the little girl, pushing her to the little boy to console. He measured Zuo Mei with his gaze, dejectedly saying: "Jiejie, you don't have to be like this, if that Yang family wants to cancel the engagement, then just let them do it! Aren't they just bullying us because we don't have our parents anymore? If jiejie marries over into that kind of family, jiejie won't have an easy time either! Jiejie, I'll support you after this, please don't be sad anymore, okay..."

"......" Zuo Mei listened dazedly, even if the boy said anything more, she would not be able to process it, she could not tell which one of them here was the insane one!
