Tang Yu spoke with certainty, and Jiang Liu nodded in agreement.
“An unwanted illegitimate child who wishes I were dead; there’s no joy in this life.”
No internet, no cell phones, no anime, no games, and there's this damned hierarchy of social classes, plus some weird relatives.
The child in front of her had a worried expression on his face, and she felt quite sorry for him.
"I've said so much, why don't you talk about yourself? When did you come into this world? Your life looks even worse than mine."
"I just transmigrated here. This body has been dead for more than a day. Otherwise, why would you see me going to the mass grave to bury this body's parents? They both starved to death."
According to the memories within my body, this child's parents had sold all their land, but still couldn't pay the taxes, and ultimately starved to death.
This shocking reality made Jiang Liu's eyes widen.
"Were ordinary people in ancient times really that miserable?"
Tang Yu nodded affirmatively.
"It's inhumane. Almost half of the people in my village starved to death this year because of the poor harvest."
"Damn ancient times! Damn the imperial class!"
Jiang Liu couldn't help but curse.
"No, even though we're from the same hometown, something's not right with you. Why didn't you tell me about your past life? I've already told you everything."
Furthermore, you can carry two coffins to a mass grave as if they were flat ground; are you a martial arts master, a peerless expert?
Adults are indeed not easily fooled, but there are some things that don't need to be said.
"You have such keen eyes! You spotted me out of the crowd!"
"Just because I glanced at you in the crowd..."
Jiang Liu couldn't help but hum a tune, and then burst into laughter.
"If no one talks to me, I'll almost forget how to sing. Tell me, do you have some kind of special ability?"
Tang Yu could only mention the superpowers she unleashed in the apocalypse; as for other worlds, she kept it a secret.
"So you time-traveled again? That's amazing! You really are the legendary Mary Sue, right!"
"I thought you were a typical overpowered protagonist. Being chased as a child and having powerful figures around you, isn't that the standard life experience of an overpowered protagonist?!"
"No, no, no, I don't think I have the domineering aura of Long Aotian!"
"I also don't think I have the Mary Sue halo, with everyone falling at my feet. I had a miserable time in the apocalypse and was eventually killed by someone."
Being beautiful is sometimes useful, and sometimes not!
Jiang Liu felt quite sympathetic after hearing this. The end times, ah, those days must be even worse than now.
"Don't worry, now that we've recognized each other, I'll protect you from now on."
Although I'm an illegitimate child, with no ability or power, I can definitely take care of you and make sure you eat and drink the best!
Jiang Liu patted his chest and made a guarantee.
"Actually, I can go without eating or drinking, but food is a desire, not a physical need. I'll be counting on you from now on, Jiang Liu!"
These words piqued Jiang Liu's curiosity.
"How do I use this skill? Can you show me how?"
Tang Yu gently waved her hands, and countless peach blossoms rained down on the two of them. Jiang Liu was stunned, and then he shouted.
"Damn it! You still say you're not Mary Sue? If you're not Mary Sue, then who is?!"
Tang Yu smiled and ripened another peach, then handed it to Jiang Liu.
"Shut up and eat the peach!"
After Jiang Liu took the peach and took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly stepped forward and knelt on one knee in front of Tang Yu.
"Big brother, I was blind to your greatness just now. Please accept my bow. How could I possibly protect you? It's clearly you who will protect me and make me live a life of luxury in the future!"
"Good disciple, come quickly and let your master shave your head."
"Master, please accept my bow. I will definitely take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days!"
"Good disciple, your master will always follow behind you, so that you don't have to work hard for this."
Chapter 22 Mary Sue and the Overbearing Protagonist 2
The two of them, addicted to acting, were constantly teasing and mocking each other.
After acting for a while, the two of them burst into laughter.
"I am Jiang Liu, and it's a pleasure to meet you in this lifetime."
"I am Tang Yu. Fellow villagers, you don't need to feel lonely anymore. There are people in this world who understand you."
From then on, Tang Yu and Jiang Liu became friends.
However, Tang Yu was suspected by a strange person named Liu Ye.
"Uncle Liuye, she really is my friend, you don't need to doubt her."
"You're still young and easily deceived. I never imagined those people were so cunning, actually sending a child to get close to you!"
Tang Yu, standing to the side, was speechless.
"Uncle with your eyes covered, don't be paranoid. Jiang Liu is cheerful, warm, generous, and helpful, so it's normal for him to make friends."
Liu Ye fell silent for a long while, then suddenly spoke up and said something like this.
"You look a bit like a young lady."
After saying this, the other person turned and left, leaving Tang Yu standing there a little puzzled. That was the end of it.
"Who is this 'young lady' he's talking about?"
"Perhaps it's my mother?"
Tang Yu: "He's really not your father?"
"Probably not."
"I think your mother is not simple."
"possible."
The two looked at each other and then sighed deeply.
"Life is tough, so you have to rely on your acting skills."
Life is tough, full of pitfalls.
“I have a feeling that your future will be turbulent and bloody, and you probably won’t be able to get rich through farming.”
Jiang Liu was very depressed after Tang Yu finished speaking.
"You're right, I think so too."
"Oh right, my mother's name is Lin Zhu, and Uncle Liu Ye is my mother's servant... I think I also have a cheat code; I remember all the novels and poems I read in my past life, and I can recite them all..."
When Jiang Liu recited passages from Dream of the Red Chamber in front of her, Tang Yu went from being shocked to being stunned.
"Jiang Liu, your memory is simply superhuman! You can remember this so clearly."
"hey-hey……"
Jiang Liu smiled sheepishly, but Tang Yu stood up and walked around Jiang Liu several times, making Jiang Liu nervous.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"
"You must be Long Aotian. Heaven gave you a unique background and such a golden finger, isn't it just to let you shine in this world and shock the world!"
Jiang Liu refused.
"I just want to be a carefree, wealthy man. Don't try to create a persona for me."
"Do you think you can just become a rich man because you want to? Fate will force you to make different choices. You will be pushed forward step by step by fate. Jiang Liu, you're doomed!"
After saying this, Jiang Liu jumped up and took a step back.
"Boss, don't scare me with those kinds of words. I just want to live a few days in peace!"
Tang Yu simply chuckled.
For the next few years, Tang Yu stayed in Qingzhou, watching Jiang Liu struggle to practice martial arts and learn medicine.
When Tang Yu was a little over ten years old, she felt bored and wanted to go out for a stroll.
Jiang Liu had no choice but to see them off with tears in his eyes.
From then on, Tang Yu began to wander around this world, learning about its customs and culture.
Then she discovered that there was something called the Temple in this world, and that the civilization and etiquette of this world were said to have been taught by the Temple.
Later, Tang Yu learned of Lin Zhu's reputation and discovered that he was a famous person throughout the country.
After traveling for five years, Tang Yu hurried back to Qingzhou, since Jiang Liu had said that he must return after five years.
They are the only two people who have traveled through this world so far, and they are best friends.
Tang Yu understood Jiang Liu's fear and loneliness, so she naturally wanted to go back to visit her friend as promised.
However, upon returning this time, Tang Yu discovered that Jiang Liu's life had undergone a tremendous change.
A group of knights came from Kyoto to take Jiang Liu away.
On this day, Jiang Liu experienced a tumultuous day. First, someone poisoned the people in the Jiang residence, and then someone attempted to assassinate him.
Jiang Liu finally managed to become acquainted with a man named Zhao Zijing through a series of unexpected events, only to discover that someone was desperately trying to kill him. This order came from the Inspectorate, and the crime was the extermination of a traitor.
Afterwards, Jiang Liu had a long talk with the old lady, and he decided to go to Kyoto in person.
Rather than waiting to die, it's better to go to Kyoto in person to see who's behind it all.
At this moment, Tang Yu arrived at the courtyard where Jiang Liu lived.
She scattered peach petals directly down, and this familiar scene instantly made Jiang Liu jump up in surprise.
