Afterward, An Bingsheng returned to his hometown in glory. Amid the envious gazes of the villagers, he joyfully led his elderly parents out of their modest thatched cottage to Changan, accompanied by the beating of drums and the gong.
And it was on the road back to Changan that something happened, which would change the An Family's destiny.
An Bingsheng saved a woman who was at death's door.
The woman's surname was Li, and her name was Wanniang. She was the same age as An Bingsheng, seventeen.
When Wanniang was rescued by An Bingsheng, her body was covered in blood, and her breath was extremely faint.
Elder An and his wife were kind and charitable, and An Bingsheng was of a pure nature; he did not despise Wanniang and warmly lent her a helping hand. They took care of her on the way to Changan and even let her stay in the Scholar Mansion directly.
