She ran away from a rainy night.
Yanjing is too big to accommodate a ten-year-old orphan girl. She learned to steal, cook, and look at people's faces on the streets, and she also learned to do dirty work for others.
The day she saved up five taels of silver, she thought she could escape.
But the pursuers were faster than her.
The river was cold, and she met Jiang Si when she climbed ashore. A twenty-year-old general who had just returned from the border was still carrying the wind and snow from the border.
Jiang Si gave her a way:
"Follow me. Change your name and live your life again."
From then on she was Mu Qi.
Purpose: People who have been rescued once should spend the rest of their lives learning how to live up to that rescue.
