What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

Five words floated in the sky: System starting up~

System? What's going on?

Gu Xi's body trembled, and when he was about to take a closer look, he found that the five large golden characters suddenly twisted and deformed, turning into a dazzling spot of light, as if a small hole was burned in the dark night sky.

Just as Gu Xi was puzzled, a spot of light suddenly spun towards his forehead. The speed of light was unavoidable, so Gu Xi resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already daybreak. Outside, I could hear birds singing and ducks quacking.

Why are there ducks in the community?

Gu Xi sat up in confusion and found that the place where he was lying was not his home, but a shabby thatched hut.

What was going on? Was I still dreaming?

That’s right, the alarm hasn’t rung yet, why go to work? Just continue sleeping.

Gu Xi continued to lie back on the bed, but felt that something was wrong.

She raised her hand and found that her arm was wrapped in a coarse cloth handkerchief with blood stains on it.

"Hiss——" It hurts! This is definitely not a dream!

Just as I was wondering, the door creaked open and a middle-aged woman walked in. She was wearing an ancient coarse cloth dress with patches on top of patches and holding a bowl of porridge in her hand.

Seeing that Gu Xi woke up, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Girl, are you awake? I made some porridge, you can have some."

After she said this, Gu Xi realized that he was starving.

"Thank you sister."

Based on the principle of calling those over fifty years old "sister" and those under fifty "little sister", Gu Xi asked while drinking porridge:

"Sister, what is this place? Why am I here?"

The man laughed, revealing two rows of yellow teeth:

"Girl, at my age, you can't call me sister. This is Wujia Village, and everyone calls me Aunt Wu San. Last night, my son Wu Dazhuang went up the mountain to hunt, and saw that the girl was frightened by a wolf and fainted. He chased the wolf away and carried the girl back."

Aunt Wu San looked at Gu Xi kindly, as if she was looking at her daughter-in-law.

It's so hard to find a wife these days. Their family has been saving for several years but still hasn't saved enough for the bride price. Unexpectedly, their son got lucky and found such a beautiful girl. If he can keep her...

Gu Xi's mind was startled. Wujia Village? Wu Dazhuang?

Isn't this the place and character in the novel she read before going to bed?

It makes me angry just talking about this book. She was reading it with great interest, but suddenly the pages at the back were all blank. What a liar this bookseller is!

She clearly remembered that she saw the heroine being chased and fleeing into the mountains, and then she was rescued by a man named Wu Dazhuang, and then, nothing happened.

The back pages were all blank. She suspected that she had bought a fake book, so she angrily threw the book on the bedside table and went to sleep.

Could it be that she was unwilling to see the ending and came to catch up in her dream?

But the pain in my arm was very real, not like a dream.

"Aunt Wu San, thank you and your family for saving my life." Gu Xi thanked them and thought that the people in ancient times were still simple and honest. In modern times, if an old lady fell on the side of the road, no one would dare to help her.

Aunt Wu San patted the back of Gu Xi's hand and said meaningfully:

"It's okay, it's okay. We are a family and we don't have to argue with each other. You take good care of your injuries. I'll go feed the ducks."

I don’t know why, although Aunt Wu San looks kind, Gu Xi always feels that something is wrong.

After sleeping for a while, Gu Xi felt the urge to pee, so he got up and saw a simple little courtyard.

There are three thatched houses, a duck pen on the left, and a small house on the right with a chimney, which should be the kitchen.

She didn't know where the toilet was, so when she heard some noise in the kitchen, she walked over to ask Aunt Wu.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard Aunt Wu San talking to a man inside.

"Boss, pluck the pheasant that Da Zhuang shot yesterday, and I'll make some chicken soup for that girl to nourish her body."

A man agreed.

Gu Xi: So touching! What a nice family!

Before Gu Xi could finish being moved, Aunt Wu San said:

"If we can get her back to health sooner, we can let her consummate her marriage with Da Zhuang sooner and give birth to a big fat boy. Then we will have hope."

Huh? Wedding consummation? Gu Xi was stunned with eyes wide open.

She doesn’t even know whether Dazhuang is fat or flat, but this family already treats her as their daughter-in-law?

The man's muffled voice came:

"Have you told her? What if she doesn't want to?"

"What's the point of being willing or not? Da Zhuang saved her life, so what can she do about it?"

Aunt Wu San put down the kitchen knife in her hand, took a deep breath, and said,

"You have a point. That girl is really pretty. You can tell at a glance that she is not from our country. What if she can't stand the hardship and runs away?"

"No, I have to keep a close eye on her. If that doesn't work, I'll just tie her up. The wife my cousin from my mother's side bought was dark and thin, and she ran away a few times. Later, my cousin had no choice but to break her legs before she stopped."

Gu Xi was so frightened that she trembled all over. Oh my God, she was just praising the simple people here, and she heard this?

Fearing to be discovered, Gu Xi tiptoed back to the room and lay on the bed, pretending to sleep, but her heart was pounding.

After a while, Aunt Wu San came in with chicken soup. She asked Gu Xi to drink it while checking Gu Xi's household registration.

Gu Xi didn't dare to tell the truth, so she just made up a miserable life story, used all her acting skills, and said tearfully:

"Aunt, I was originally the daughter of a wealthy family, but my father was killed by bandits while he was out doing business, and my mother committed suicide for love, leaving me an orphan."

"My relatives bullied me, took away all my property, and even sold me to a brothel."

"I escaped at the risk of my life. I don't know how many days I wandered outside until I met your family and they saved me. Otherwise, I would have died long ago."

"Aunt, you can't chase me away. I'll stay and work for you like a slave, but please don't send me back. My filthy relatives will definitely sell me out, sob... "

After hearing what Gu Xi said, Aunt Wu's eyes lit up and she grabbed Gu Xi's hand:

"Good child, don't be afraid, we won't chase you away. Our Da Zhuang hasn't gotten married yet, so you can stay here and be our daughter-in-law. I promise to treat you like my own daughter."

Gu Xi's tears really fell as she acted. In her heart, she gave herself an Oscar statuette. She was so excited about her acting skills that she continued to act in the same Ziwei style:

"Really? Really? That's great. I should repay you for saving my life with my body. My aunt's family is so nice, and Dazhuang must be a handsome man. If I can marry a husband like him, my parents will rest in peace."

Aunt Wu San's face was full of wrinkles as she smiled.

"Of course not. Our Dazhuang is not only handsome, but also honest and simple. He can hunt and work. You can stay here with peace of mind. When you recover from your injuries, I will consummate your marriage."

Gu Xi immediately lowered her eyes, looking like a shy girl.

Just at this moment, there was a noise outside. Wu Dazhuang came back, and Aunt Wu San hurried out to tell him the good news.

Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief. In order to avoid having her legs broken, she had to stabilize the family first and then look for a chance to escape.

Wu Dazhuang was so excited after hearing what Aunt Wu San said that he immediately rushed into the house. Seeing Gu Xi lowering her head and blushing, he was overjoyed and said with a smile:

"Madam, you are so beautiful."

Gu Xi slowly raised his head and was immediately stunned.
