Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

"System, come out!" Ye Zhiqiu looked at the dilapidated house in front of him and wanted to beat the system up.

In the last second, she was the empress dowager enjoying wealth and splendor, and in the next second, she turned into a poor and stupid girl in ancient times. The original body in this world was not only born in poverty, but also had some problems with IQ. Normal girls in the village did not have a good life, let alone a stupid girl.

The whole Ye family disliked the stupid girl, including the second oldest, Ye's father and mother. The Ye family was a large family with more than a dozen people. Ye's father had four brothers. The eldest was a student. Although he did not continue to take the imperial examinations when he was old, the Ye family was still very respectable in the village when few people in the village could read.

It was precisely because of this respectability that the original body was not sold. After all, Grandfather Ye still hoped that the third generation of the family would have a scholar. Even if he failed to pass the examination, his grandchildren would continue to study. Having the status of a student would make him more knowledgeable than the villagers who worked in the fields, and it would also be easier to make money.

The third generation of the Ye family consists of both boys and girls, a total of eight brothers and sisters. Ye Zhiqiu is the second oldest, but she is the first girl among the grandchildren.

When she was young, the Ye family treated her well before she was found to have brain problems. Ye Lao Er also took her in. But when they found out she was stupid, her family ignored her. She didn't starve to death because there were scholars in the Ye family. They kept her because they were afraid that the news would ruin her reputation. But she didn't starve to death.

The Ye family can support a scholar, so their economic conditions are not very good, but not too bad. However, this does not include the original body, because she was a fool. It was the kindness of the Ye family that she did not starve to death.

When Grandfather Ye was young, he was a powerful man. He relied on brute force to find a job at the escort agency in the prefectural capital, and was actually noticed by the head escort. Although he could not do the work of escorting, he was a good choice for running errands and carrying heavy objects. Working in the escort agency gave him a lot of experience, and with the help of the escort team, he could bring back some local specialties from time to time to sell.

In addition to wages and extra money, Grandfather Ye saved dozens of taels of silver in just a few years. For the rich people in the capital, dozens of taels might be enough for a meal, but for the country people, dozens of taels were not a small amount.

With the money, Grandfather Ye returned to his hometown to buy land, build a house and get married. He farmed during his busy time and occasionally went to the city in his spare time. With the help of the escort agency, he would bring back some fresh things from the city to sell. After he became rich, he bought more land. After decades of development, the Ye family became a wealthy family in the village.

Apart from Muramasa, the Ye family can be said to be the best family in the village economically, especially after the eldest son Ye passed the examination for a Tongsheng. Although a Tongsheng is not a good person, it is still much easier for him to find a job than the villagers.

The eldest brother Ye found a job in the county town, and the other three brothers, who were literate, could stay in the village to work and find odd jobs in the town from time to time, which made them much better off than other villagers.

The brothers had a very good relationship. Every family had boys, and when they reached school age, they were all sent to school. They only learned to read and write, and the family could still afford it. If they wanted to take the imperial examination, it would depend on who had more talent. Even though the Ye family was better off than other families in the village, they didn't have the money to support all their children and grandchildren to take the imperial examination.

Originally, he was the second child, fifteen this year, with a cousin who was already sixteen. If it weren't for the severe drought that spread over hundreds of miles and lasted for three consecutive years, perhaps the Ye family would have been able to produce a scholar.

The eldest cousin is the eldest son of Ye Lao Da. He has lived with Ye Lao Da in the county town since he was a child and also went to school in the county town. Compared with Ye Lao Da's education with Tongsheng, his study conditions are better. According to the teacher in the school, he has a great chance of passing the examination and becoming a scholar.

Grandfather Ye also placed his hopes on his eldest grandson, but unfortunately, natural disasters came. Not only was there a severe drought, but there were also rampant banditry, and the world was in chaos. Boss Ye was working in the county town, and the news he received from his employer was that there was going to be a war on the border and the court was going to recruit soldiers.

The Ye family was two cities away from the border, and seemed safe, but there was no telling when foreign cavalry would attack. Even if they didn't, the Ye family was afraid of military service, and if they were really caught and sent to fight, they would most likely never return.

Grandfather Ye looked at the decreasing amount of grain and money at home and decided to flee the famine with his family to the south. There are many lakes in the south, and there is no shortage of water. As long as they arrive there, they can settle down. There are scholars in their family, so they can find a way to make a living.

The whole family decided to flee the famine, and as a result, everyone forgot about the original owner who slept in the woodshed, including Ye Laoer and his wife, who subconsciously forgot about their daughter.

If Ye Zhiqiu hadn't come, the original owner would have been caught by the refugees. A weak woman with no ability to resist would have met a group of strong men, and her fate could be imagined. The original owner just had a problem with her IQ, but she was not completely ignorant. She burst out with strong hatred at the moment of death, which led to Ye Zhiqiu's arrival.

The original owner wanted to change the tragic ending, but she didn't know how, so she had to put her hope on Ye Zhiqiu. She came at a good time, the Ye family had just left the house less than an incense stick of time, if she wanted to catch up, she could catch up immediately.

What's the point of catching up? She is not the original owner and does not want to get along with the original owner's family. She has her own space, and it is not difficult to live alone in the disaster years. The biggest problem is safety.

"System, what weapon do you have?" Ye Zhiqiu thought about it. It was too late to practice martial arts, but hot weapons could intimidate the refugees. After a few people died, she believed that no one would look down on her.

There are many weapons in the system, but none of them can be sold. Thermal weapons are far beyond the technological level of this world. In addition to traditional weapons such as swords, there are also crossbows that are very popular in the military. However, people who have not practiced with them cannot use them accurately.

"I want them all." Without a choice, Ye Zhiqiu didn't pick and choose. Whether it was a knife or a sword, he would take them all. It didn't matter if the aim was not good. The horizontal one was afraid of the stupid one, and the stupid one was afraid of the desperate one.

The refugees who killed the original owner would sneak into the village in three days, so she still had time to prepare. The most urgent thing was to fill her stomach first, so that she would have the strength to work and kill people.

The Ye family left in a hurry and didn't take many things with them, except for the grain, which was not much left. It seemed that they didn't want to let the silly girl get away with it. She searched all the houses and only found a few dozen kilograms of grain, including some beans.

There was still some food, but only half a bucket of water. Fortunately, her space had everything. She didn't know how to use the flint, so she took out a disposable lighter to light a fire. Living alone also had its advantages. She didn't have to worry about being discovered when taking things out of the space.

After cooking a pot of porridge, and taking out the big meat buns from the space and eating five of them, Ye Zhiqiu finally felt full. It had been a long time since he had a full meal in this life, and he ate more than an adult man in his previous life.

After eating and drinking, she boiled a pot of hot water to wash up. The original owner was a fool, not very particular, and lacked water. She didn't know how long she hadn't taken a shower. Her hair was all tangled and couldn't be combed out, so she simply cut it all off.

All the members of the Ye family are gone, so it’s fine to have short hair. I’m not afraid of being discovered. People are starving to death, so who would bother with a silly girl?
