Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

I knelt at the door for the entire afternoon to greet and see off guests, and my legs felt like they weren't my own.

After finally finishing at night, she took off her mourning clothes and lay on the bed. She really didn't want to move at all!

After traveling through time, I have been taking care of the funeral of my "husband". Now I have time to sigh that it was so easy for me to travel through time.

But now the situation is a bit explosive. There have been years of drought, and the Jin people are trying to break through the pass. Their Yanshan Prefecture is close to the Jin Kingdom, so if the pass breaks through, they will be the first to be hit.

"The Wanjie Trading System is binding"

? What?

"System binding completed"

"What system? Traveling through the golden hand, although late, but arriving?"

"Hello, host. I am the Myriad Worlds Trading System. I was torn apart by the space-time wormhole when I traveled through time. I have little energy left. Now I can only connect the transactions between the two worlds before and after you traveled through time."

"Then your Ten Thousand Worlds is a bit exaggerated. There are only two worlds."

"..."

"You can reward the host with a chance to draw a lottery. A world will be randomly selected to join the trading mall. Would you like to draw the lottery?"

"Lottery" Zhao Yuanzhen didn't expect that her casual complaint could result in a lottery.

"Congratulations to the host for winning the Immortal Cultivation Realm"

Zhao Yuanzhen felt that she was quite lucky. She could even draw in the Immortal Cultivation World.

"Open the mall."

Zhao Yuanzhen released her thoughts in her consciousness, and then she saw a shopping interface that was similar to Taobao, except that the items were divided into several categories:

Food includes various rice, flour, grain, oil, water, beverages, alcohol, meat, seafood, etc.

The tool category includes various machines, means of transportation, and some tools that Zhao Yuanzhen has never come into contact with.

The weapons are so diverse that it is dizzying to look at, including cold weapons such as knives, guns, sticks, swords, as well as hot weapons such as pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, etc. What is shocking is that there are even large-scale bullets.

The price is just too high to be true. It's just a bunch of zeros. You can't afford it. There are also some talisman papers, magic tools, etc., which should be the products of the world of immortal cultivation.

She turned to the last page for weapons, and there were also artifacts. Hmm. Sure enough, she couldn't afford any of them.

There are other categories, many of which Zhao Yuanzhen has never seen before.

“How do I get the currency I need to trade?”

Is it silver?

"The mall implements a points system for transactions. There are many ways to redeem points, including currency exchange, exchange for special items and products in this world, exchange for heaven and earth treasures, etc."

“What is the currency conversion rate?”

"According to the host's current consumption and productivity in this world, it would be about one tael of silver per point."

"So expensive!"

One tael of silver is equivalent to about 800 yuan when she traveled through time. The purchasing power of 800 yuan is still a lot in the 21st world.

Not to mention the dynasty I traveled through, where ordinary people could not spend even 1 tael of silver a year. However, now 1 tael of silver can only be exchanged for one point.

Sure enough, there are cross-border fees!

Yes, if one point is used to buy several hundred kilograms of rice, the system will lose money!

Fortunately, the system comes with a trading space. It is about 100 square meters, not very big, but the space remains static.

No living creatures are allowed in, but she can go in. Other living creatures that go in will die.

A must-have for murder and robbery! If your body can get inside, it's an extra layer of security! You can hide inside when you encounter danger.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yuanzhen kept thinking that facing the invasion of the Jin people and years of drought, he would eventually have to flee, but it would not be easy to flee with his weak body.

And you can't flee alone. Natural disasters, man-made disasters, and bandits are frequent. You still have to travel with the villagers. But how do you tell the village chief?

It seems that I should get up early and find my father-in-law, and let him talk to the village chief.

"System, is there anything that can strengthen the body or quickly make a person a master? I have to try hard to buy it now."

This weak body still needs to be transformed.

"There are two types. One is a powerful pill, which can change your body constitution after taking it, making you infinitely powerful. It is permanent.

1000 points are required.

There is also a talisman, which is a one-time use. After eating it, a person can have a sixty-year internal strength within three hours, as well as a random skill. It costs 100 points. Which one does the host need?"

. . . Which one does she need? Does she have a choice? She really can't work hard for 1000 taels.

She now has 100 taels of silver as compensation, as well as 18 taels of silver saved by the original owner.

Originally, there was a bodyguard in the family, who earned 20 taels of silver a year.

However, because of the need to support the third son Zhang Xinshu's education, and because of the drought in the past two years, the harvest in the fields was poor, and the taxes and food purchases, the family had only 18 taels of silver left.

These 18 taels of silver were obviously not enough, as there were too many things to buy to escape the famine.

Just as she was thinking about how to make some money, she suddenly had an idea. Something was wrong! She had money! She had a lot of money!

The original owner also had a treasure chest! There were a lot of treasures in the treasure chest, but the treasure chest was hidden in the yard of the previous house, and there was no chance to take it out.

The original owner was the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the county, and her father had a good business sense. The family business was growing bigger and bigger.

But when she was 13 years old, she was framed by a villain and her father was thrown into prison.

Before the family could find someone to inquire about the matter, news came out that my father had committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment, and my mother fell ill due to the shock.

The original owner's mother was a weak and graceful woman. She was once the daughter of an eunuch. She was well-educated and well-mannered, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

But later on, her family fell into poverty and my father offered a large sum of money to marry her.

My grandfather was also seriously ill at that time. After observing my father's character, he felt that he was a trustworthy man.

So he agreed to the marriage, and my father kept his promise to my grandfather. He worked hard to make money and pampered my mother.

When the original owner was born, the fetus was in an abnormal position, which caused him to develop a chronic illness. His father was so heartbroken that he would never let his mother get pregnant and have a child again.

The original owner was destined to be the last child, so even though his wife became ill when she was born, he was not angry at her, but loved the child even more.

Since childhood, the original owner hired masters to teach her everything she was interested in, including playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, knitting, needlework, poetry and songs.

The original owner had a brother named Zhao Yuanlan who was three years older than her. He was leading people out to explore the market at the time, so he escaped the disaster.

But I never saw my brother again after that. I don’t know if he ran away or if he had an accident.

When the news of her father's death in prison spread, her mother picked out the best banknotes and jewelry that her father had left them at home and kept them.

Before they came to search the house, it was secretly buried under the back wall of the kitchen.

Although her mother was weak, she was the daughter of an official family, well-informed and had her own ideas.

Knowing that these people would never let go of their orphan and widow as well as their huge fortune, they saved it in advance.

Perhaps because they were afraid that they would escape or hide the treasure, the yamen officers who came to confiscate the property came very quickly, so they were unable to take the treasure chest away. They were driven out.

All the slaves in the house were sold again, and her mother took her to rent a small courtyard in the city to live in.

I wanted to wait for my eldest brother to come back, but as time went by, my mother's health became worse and worse. My eldest brother still didn't come back.

Later, my mother found someone to arrange a marriage for the original owner, hoping that the original owner would get married and stay away from these things, fearing that they would kill them all.

So they tried their best to choose a villager for her, but they didn't want their daughter, who had never suffered, to really go to the village to suffer and do hard work, so in the end they chose the original owner's husband, a bodyguard.

The original owner married Zhang Qinghe at the age of 14, and gave birth to their eldest son Zhang Xinbai a year after their marriage.

Zhang Xinbai is now 21 years old. He got married at the age of 16 and his wife is Qian Xiaohui. He now has a 5-year-old grandson.

Three years later, his second son, Zhang Xinnian, was born. When Zhang Xinnian was 17 years old, he married Li Zhijuan. They had been married for only a year and had no children yet.

Five years later, she gave birth to her third son, Zhang Xinshu. Zhang Xinshu was 12 years old and was still studying in a private school in the county.

The original owner had wanted to take back the treasure chest many times. But after going to the county and observing the courtyard, he found that the county magistrate was now living there and there were guards guarding it.

It was not something a woman like her could enter, and the original owner did not dare to tell her husband, for fear that something might happen to her husband.

I just live like this, and fortunately because of my husband who is a bodyguard, my life is not that hard.

One year after her marriage, her mother died of illness, and she did not dare to go and get married rashly. She only hoped that her eldest brother was still alive and could come back to avenge her parents.

She sent each of her children to a private school, hoping that one of them would pass the imperial examination, become an official in the court, and avenge her parents.

But the eldest and second child lost interest in studying after they had passed the enlightenment stage and gave up studying early. Now only the third child is still studying.

It might not be easy for Zhao Yuanzhen to take out the treasure chest. It seems that he can't keep the 100 taels of silver.

"Tongzi, exchange 100 points and buy a martial arts master talisman paper!"

According to the system, this martial arts world also exists at the forefront of their world, so transactions are possible.

"Okay, host"

Then, the 100 taels of silver in the space disappeared, and then a piece of talisman paper lay in her space. She became conscious and took it out to have a look.

It was a bit like the yellow talisman paper of modern Taoism, with red characters, and I couldn't understand what was written on it. Then I put it into the space.

After thinking about it, I decided to go to the county tomorrow, wander around during the day, check out the area, and then take action at night. After the action is successful, I will buy some things I need on the way to escape.

There are so many things I need, I need to find a pen and paper to write them down. Then I got up and went to my third son's room.

"Xin Shu, are you asleep?"

"Mom, not yet, what's wrong?"

Then 12-year-old Zhang Xinshu opened the door, his eyes were red, his eyelids were swollen, and his voice was hoarse.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Yuanzhen also sighed. At the age of 12, he was still an elementary school kid in the 21st century. It was not easy for him to suddenly face the news of his father's death.

This child is the smartest and most thoughtful of the three children. Then he wiped his eyes and patted his head.

"Xin Shu, come over here and get me some paper and pen. I have to go to the county town tomorrow and I want to write down what I need."

"Okay, Mom, I'll get it for you right away." Then he took the rice paper, brush, inkstone and ink stick and handed them to her.

She took the things, patted Zhang Xinshu's head again, and comforted him:

"Don't cry, go to bed early, your dad doesn't want you to hurt yourself by crying."

"Ok".

Zhang Xinshu responded in a low voice, and then said:

"Mom, you should get some rest as soon as possible. You are already weak. You can't be sad any longer."

"Well, let's go rest."

I helped to close the door, took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and walked back to the room. When I returned to the room, I looked at the brush, inkstone and ink stick.

I feel conflicted. She can write calligraphy. She had calligraphy classes in school, and the original owner also had good calligraphy! But grinding it feels so troublesome.

After thinking for a while, he went to the kitchen stove, took out a burnt charcoal, picked out a thinner one and held it in his hand, then wrote and drew on a piece of paper, writing down everything he could think of.

First of all, we need a means of transportation. We only have one cow at home, but the cow travels slowly and there is not enough space for so many people, not to mention that we need to put things in. We also need to buy a horse and a carriage.

As for food, clothing, housing and transportation, as for clothes, I still have enough to wear for the time being, but I don’t know how long this escape from famine will take.

It's the end of July now, so we need to prepare some cotton, cotton clothes, and cloth.

As for food, you need to buy more grain, salt, and some sugar...

You also need to prepare some oilcloth and some cans.

. . .

I wrote and drew for two pages. Then I was so sleepy that I fell asleep.
