Xie Wanxing woke up slowly, feeling a splitting headache. What he saw was a simple thatched hut with mottled adobe walls and a messy thatched roof.

This is where?

How could she be in a place like this?

She tried hard to recall, and her last memory was that she went on a road trip to Xinjiang with her parents for vacation. They collided with a large truck in an uninhabited area and lost consciousness. When she woke up, she found herself in this unfamiliar and dilapidated earthen house.

After she gradually regained consciousness, countless fragments suddenly flooded into her mind, strange yet clear. The people and things she saw in her memory were not what she had experienced. These were memories of this era.

She sorted out the memories in her mind, trying to extract useful information, but found that she remembered something even more unexpected.

Xie Wanxing stared at her own small palm in a daze. Although her memory told her that she was only a five-year-old child, this short and small hand still shocked her.

And she discovered that although she had turned into a five-year-old child, her name was still Xie Wanxing? And the mother of this body, Cheng...

and many more……

...Cheng? Cheng Hui! That's her mother's name!

According to her original body's last memory, she looked around the bed and saw a woman in patched clothes lying next to her. She crawled over and shook her using her hands and feet.

Cheng Hui, who was lying beside her, had also woken up. She was shocked by the unfamiliar environment. Xie Wanxing looked at her shocked expression and felt that his guess was almost right.

Cheng Hui sat up and looked at the small figure in front of her. The familiar eyebrows and eyes were almost exactly the same as Xie Wanxing's when he was a child. Although she didn't know who this child was, she still had a strange idea in her mind.

——This little girl is her daughter Xie Wanxing.

Cheng Hui and Xie Wanxing both spoke tentatively at the same time

"...Is it Axing?"

"……mom?"

When these two calls sounded at the same time, there was a hint of uncertainty trembling in Cheng Hui's voice, while Xie Wanxing's childish voice was full of surprise and excitement.

Cheng Hui's eyes turned red instantly, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.

"It's really you, Ah Xing, you're okay." Cheng Hui's voice was a little choked, her heart filled with emotion. She touched her daughter up and down, confirming that there was nothing wrong. It was just that her small body made her very uncomfortable. "Why have you become so small, Ah Xing?"

"I don't know either. I just remember we were hit by a car and then I lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes, I turned into a child again."

Xie Wanxing and Cheng Hui snuggled up to each other, their emotions gradually calmed down, and they began to think seriously about their current situation.

Xie Wanxing frowned. "We must have been in a car accident and traveled through time. As for what dynasty this is, I don't know. A five-year-old's memory is too limited. Mom, do you have any memories of this dynasty?"

"I do have some, but they're useless. They're just memories of me staying at home, cooking, and working. I don't know much about this dynasty. Your dad seems to be a scholar, so he should know a lot. Wait...your dad!!"

"Yes, where is my dad!!" Xie Wanxing finally reacted.

"The three of us are riding in the same car. If we all come, he will definitely come too!"

Xie Wanxing nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Mom, my name is the same as the modern one. The original body's father is also called Xie Songlin, so he might be my dad."

Cheng Hui: "If that's the case, then we must find your father as soon as possible."

The mother and daughter were both nervous and expectant. They packed up their things and got out of bed, ready to go out and look for Xie Songlin.

As soon as I walked out of the door, a familiar figure came into view. I saw a middle-aged man wearing a coarse cloth shirt and with a bruised face standing at the gate of the yard looking around. Every step he took was full of temptation, and he looked both strange and familiar.

Xie Wanxing's heart skipped a beat, and she tentatively called out, "Dad?"

Although the voice was small, the middle-aged man was shocked when he heard the call. He turned around instantly, his eyes full of excitement.

"Is that Ah Xing?" The man's voice trembled a little, and tears flashed in his eyes.

After receiving a positive answer, he strode over and hugged the mother and daughter tightly in his arms.

"Old Xie, you are here too!" Cheng Hui hugged Xie Songlin and couldn't help crying again.

Xie Songlin forced himself to regain some rationality. He patted his wife's back to comfort her. He also wanted to pat his daughter but he couldn't. He lowered his head and saw that his daughter was so short that she could only hug his calves.

He bent down and picked up Xie Wanxing. In modern times, his daughter is already an outstanding doctor who has graduated. It is impossible for her to be held in his arms and act like a child all day long. God knows how much he wants to hug his little daughter again, and he didn't expect that his wish would come true in this way.

"Okay, wife, let's go inside first. We never know when someone might show up outside. It would be troublesome if someone saw us."

...

The furnishings in the room were simple but had an ancient atmosphere. The three of them sat around a worn wooden table, their faces serious but full of expectation.

Xie Songlin spoke first: "It seems that we can't go back for the time being. Our first priority now is to understand the background and rules of this era, see if there is any way for us to survive, and then find a way to return to the modern era."

Cheng Hui nodded: "It is better to be cautious and not let others find out about our abnormality."

"When I first woke up, I found myself being beaten in an alley near a gambling house. I was beaten badly when I opened my eyes. They were so numerous and powerful that I didn't dare to move. I could only pretend to be dead for a while. When they saw that I didn't react, they left.

While I was pretending to be dead, I pondered the memories in my head for a long time. I found that our names were the same as in modern times. I thought, since I came here, you must be somewhere in this world too. I looked around for a long time but no one came, so I quickly ran back home according to the route I imagined in my mind.

When Cheng Hui heard that Xie Songlin was beaten, she was worried and immediately reached out to touch him. Xie Wanxing also moved over and hugged his father's arm with a distressed look on his face.

Xie Songlin had the most complete memory and gave a brief description of the current situation.

They lived in a small mountain village called Xiejia Village. Their father had passed away, leaving behind their widowed mother, Old Lady Shen, and four brothers. The eldest brother Xie Songbai and the second brother Xie Songyang both made a living working in the fields. The third brother Xie Songmu was a carpenter. Xie Songlin was the fourth child and the only scholar in the family, but he was only a student.

Originally, Xie Songlin was a rising star in the eyes of everyone in Xiejia Village. He was the only educated person in the family. In that small village dominated by farming, there were very few people who could read and write. Xie Songlin's existence made the whole family full of longing for the future. Everyone hoped that he could pass the imperial examinations and bring glory and change to the family.

However, Xie Songlin met some bad friends by chance. These people were idle all day long and addicted to the excitement of gambling.

At first, Xie Songlin participated in it out of curiosity, but gradually, he became unable to extricate himself. He frequently went in and out of the gambling house, wasting his time and energy on studying at the gambling table.

The family's money was quickly squandered due to his reckless spending. Not only did he lose all his savings, he also took advantage of Mrs. Shen's inattention to steal the family's money just to make a comeback at the gambling table.

Old Lady Shen loved her youngest son dearly and repeatedly pleaded with him, shedding tears day and night, hoping he would change his ways. Finally, unable to tolerate any more, she made a difficult decision – to separate Xie Songlin’s family and drive them to a thatched cottage at the entrance of the village.

However, Xie Songlin did not repent, but even became worse. In order to pay off his gambling debts, he sold his two sons to the blacksmith shop in the city.

This time, Xie Songlin went to the city to sell his third son to the blacksmith shop.

Cheng Hui also tried hard to recall Xie Songlin's description, trying to sort out this chaotic situation. As the fragments of memory gradually came together, a terrible truth exploded in their hearts like a bolt from the blue -

They actually have five children!!!
