Chu Xiulan's husband has been working away from home for three years and has not been heard from at all. People in the village said that she was left a widow, her mother-in-law was seriously ill in bed, and her grocery store was about to be closed down by her neighbor Jiang Guifen. That night when she was desperate, she heard a horse neighing from the dry well in the backyard. She dared to look around and saw an ancient general covered in blood standing at the bottom of the well. He stretched out his hand towards her: Sister-in-law, do you have anything to eat? From then on, her mountain goods shop sold wild mushrooms while providing life-saving food for border officers. She cured her mother-in-law's illness, defeated Shen Wenbin who kept the price down, and became the most prosperous shop in the country. Until the general asked someone to send a letter, which said: Your husband is not dead, he is in the enemy's camp.
