Even if you belong to a demonic sect, you still have to bring glory to the country.

Chapter 57 Liu Shu
"Eat slowly, eat slowly. Oh, little girl, don't worry, there's more here."

In Building 21 of the Moon Community, on the third floor, Grandpa Jiang's wife, Grandma Su, watched kindly as the little girl stuffed a steamed bun into her mouth.

She was thin and petite, with a baby face and eyes that seemed devoid of emotion.

She ate so fast that her mouth was gurgling, which reminded Grandma Su of the hamster her granddaughter used to keep.

She appeared refined, but she moved quickly, stuffing food into her mouth one bite after another, as if she hadn't eaten in a long time.

These days, it's rare to see someone eat a steamed bun with such gusto.

Wearing a dirty Hanfu covered in mud makes it look like you've rolled around in some mud pit.

Her face was covered in mud, and Grandma Su used a washcloth to clean it off for her.

Grandma Su, who had lived in the city for many years, really couldn't imagine where this little girl had come from.

She said her name was Liu Shu.

But it's not the tree of trees.

She said with some concern, "Young lady, has something happened to you? Tell your mother-in-law that if things are not right, we will go with you to call the police."

In this situation, Grandma Su could only conclude that the little girl in front of her had been locked up or imprisoned, which was why she described herself as being in such a sorry state.

Although things have been safer in recent years, such incidents do happen.

What's amazing is that this young girl also has amazing acupuncture skills. After inserting two needles, her husband, who was suffering from heatstroke, regained consciousness.

The only clean thing on her body was the bag containing the needles; it wasn't covered in mud at all.

Liu Shu, who was munching on a steamed bun, finally looked up, a hint of confusion in his usually cold eyes: "Call the police?"

"Yes." Grandma Su thought she hadn't thought to call the police: "Were you...locked up by someone? Did you manage to escape?"

As people get older, they watch a lot of TV, and Grandma Su's mind starts to wander.

After listening carefully, Liu Shu shook his head and said, "I was not imprisoned."

She arrived here in a daze, thinking she had come to the underworld after her death, but it didn't quite feel like it.

The sunlight is too bright; the underworld shouldn't have such light.

Passersby around were screaming in surprise, and Liu Shu saw a crowd gathered together.

She originally intended to go over and ask what was going on, but then she saw Grandpa Jiang lying on the ground.

His lips were pale; in this weather, it was obvious he had heatstroke.

Saving lives is a doctor's nature, so Liu Shu didn't hesitate and squatted down to give Grandpa Jiang two needles.

But people these days rarely see such a simple and brutal treatment method, especially since Liu Shu was pricking the forehead, which immediately drew gasps of surprise from those around him.

"Hey, little girl, where did you come from? Why are you pricking someone's head?"

"Is this acupuncture treatment? You're a Chinese medicine doctor, young lady?"

Some people recognized it, but they were still skeptical.

"How can you just stick needles like that? Who's responsible if something goes wrong? Call 120 right now and get her to the hospital..."

Amidst the commotion, Liu Shu pursed her lips. If the family members around her had been this ungrateful during her previous treatments, she would have already turned on them.

However, this is a strange place.

Her instinctive vigilance prevented her from doing anything unnecessary.

A minute later, Grandpa Jiang slowly woke up.

Liu Shu casually explained how to rest and what to drink to relieve her discomfort after returning home, but as soon as she finished speaking, she found that everyone around her was staring at her blankly.

What are you mumbling about?

"It sounds like a medicine name. It sounds familiar, but I've never heard of it before."

"Wow, this little girl is actually a Chinese medicine doctor, she's got some skills..." "But why is she dressed so dirty, where did she go digging a hole?"

"Who knows? These days, young girls are into this kind of thing: wearing Hanfu, doing cosplay, anime and manga, all sorts of things we don't understand."

"That's what they call fashionable. You're too old and can't keep up with the times!"

They spoke too fast, and with the added factor of dialect, Liu Shu realized that these people didn't quite understand what he was saying.

I don't really understand what they're saying.

Their clothes were also very strange...

Grandma Su arrived and was extremely grateful to Liu Shu, insisting on taking her home to express her gratitude.

Then, Grandma Su noticed that Liu Shu hadn't eaten, so she casually brought her a large plate of steamed buns and fresh side dishes.

For the first time, Liu Shu, who was usually expressionless, was shocked.

Because she knew very well how precious white flour steamed buns were.

Grandma Su rubbed her hands together and said, "I just steamed these buns at noon. If you don't like them, I can order takeout for you. Or I can go out and buy groceries and cook you some fresh ones. Do you want some ribs?"

Liu Shu twitched his lips, not yet understanding the deeper meaning behind those words, and began to gnaw on his steamed bun.

She was indeed hungry. She hid in a mud pit to escape her pursuers and endured three days and three nights without eating or drinking anything.

The fact that they were able to endure it shows that those who practice martial arts have strong internal energy and can withstand it.

As Liu Shu took a bite of the steamed bun, its fluffy texture and slightly sweet, yet not greasy, flavor stunned him.

Steamed buns with added sugar.

Sugar is also a rare commodity.

Did she save some wealthy man's master?

But looking at their houses, it doesn't seem like that...

Grandma Su saw her pause for a moment, then smiled and said, "Aren't my steamed buns delicious? I added some Want Want Milk, which kids love. My granddaughter loves my steamed buns the most, and she also likes to eat them with condensed milk."

Perhaps because Liu Shu looked like her granddaughter, Grandma Su immediately showed some affection and tenderness towards Liu Shu.

Before they knew it, they had been talking about everyday things, but Liu Shu didn't respond much.

Grandma Su felt that Liu Shu's appearance was not normal, which is why she asked the question she had just asked.

Hearing Liu Shu's answer, Grandma Su was a little puzzled: "Then what about your clothes..."

Since it was someone else's business, Grandma Su didn't ask any further questions. She said, "Your clothes are dirty. Change them off and I'll wash them for you. Wear my granddaughter's dress. She's studying at university and rarely comes back."

Just as Liu Shu finished speaking and was about to reply, there was a loud knocking on the door.

Grandma Su stood up and went to open the door.

The door opened, and there stood Zhong Mingjuan, the neighbor from downstairs.

Zhong Mingjuan is in her forties, slightly overweight, a typical housewife, and extremely gossipy.

He usually enjoys sitting with the old ladies in the neighborhood and discussing their lives.

With a few words and a laugh, he can ruin the reputation of anyone in the neighborhood.

The only one who escaped from her clutches was Li Sui.

Zhong Mingjuan cracked sunflower seeds and glanced into the room. Seeing that the girl in Hanfu from earlier was still there, she immediately winked at Granny Su and said, "Aunt Su, have you seen the group chat? This matter is related to that devil on the sixth floor. This little girl seems to be her relative. She just asked me about it, and she'll probably be here soon."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a panting sound was heard.

"Juanzi, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Zhong Mingjuan shuddered, and Liu Shu inside the room suddenly looked up.
