"Oh, it turns out being a courier is so hard. I guess I have to think about giving them a raise!" Shen Wanning pushed the courier box onto the shelf with all her strength. She was panting with exhaustion.

She slumped in her chair, took out her cell phone from her pocket and prepared to complain to her friends about her experience as a courier today.

Haha, if she hadn't lost the bet with those friends, she, the boss of hundreds of express delivery stations, would not have come here to work so hard delivering express.

I had just finished editing the text and hadn't clicked send when the lights suddenly went out, plunging the express station into darkness, and even the phone screen went black.

"Oh my god, why is even my phone screen black due to this power outage?" Shen Wanning pressed the buttons on her phone again and again, but there was no response.

She was a little irritated, and stood up from her chair, groping along the shelves as she slowly moved to the door, opened the door of the express station, and stepped out. Unexpectedly, she missed a step and fainted.

She felt trapped in darkness, wandering around, unable to find a way out. A glimmer of light gradually appeared ahead. She walked towards it, and it grew brighter and brighter, blinding her.

Shen Wanning suddenly opened her eyes and heard a joyful voice in her ears.

"Girl, are you awake?"

She looked towards the source of the sound and saw an old woman with messy white hair, a pale face and sunken cheeks looking at her kindly.

To her surprise, the old woman was wearing ancient clothes, with countless patches on her coarse cloth.

She didn't speak rashly, but instead took in her surroundings. The adobe house was so small, you could even see a few beams of sunlight filtering through the thatched roof.

The furnishings in the room were also very simple, with a pitch-black table and two stools, one of which was missing a leg.

"Girl, girl?" Seeing that she didn't speak, the old woman waved her hand in front of her and called out again.

Shen Wanning pushed herself up and tried to sit up, but the hard bed board hurt her elbow and she cried out in pain.

"Excuse me, Auntie, where is this?" She was full of doubts. She was clearly at the express station, so how did she end up here?

"This is Daqing Village. My second son found you unconscious yesterday while going up the mountain and brought you back. Miss, do you still remember where you live? Judging from the way you're dressed, you don't seem to be from here."

The old lady had a particularly loud voice, and it made Shen Wanning's head hurt.

"Daqing Village? What time is it now?" Shen Wanning asked hurriedly.

As a veteran novel fan, she already had a guess in her mind. Judging from the situation, she was most likely traveling through time, but she didn't know which dynasty it was now, or perhaps it was a dynasty that didn't exist in history.

"Could it be that the girl has lost her memory? It's the 13th year of Zhenyuan now! Does the girl still remember her name?" The old woman frowned slightly, with a worried look on her face.

Shen Wanning's heart finally died down. She had indeed traveled through time, to a dynasty that didn't exist in history. Judging from the furnishings in this house, it was undoubtedly a poor family.

Alas, I studied hard and graduated with a doctorate at the age of 18. I finally took back the family property from my ambitious relatives, but before I could enjoy it for a few days, I was back to the days before liberation overnight.

Shen Wanning looked hopeless. "Thank you for saving me, Auntie. My name is Shen Wanning. As for the rest, I don't remember. What should I call you, Auntie?"

"My last name is Zhang, and everyone calls me Aunt Zhang! It's a pity that it's a famine now, and there's not much food at home, let alone spare money. Otherwise, I would definitely ask a doctor to see you, alas!" Aunt Zhang patted Shen Wanning's hand and sighed.

"Aunt Zhang has done Wan Ning a great favor by saving her. Besides, Wan Ning is not feeling unwell, so there is no need to call a doctor." Shen Wan Ning comforted.

Shen Wanning chatted with Aunt Zhang for a few more minutes and found out more information.

They were in Daxia, which also included Daliang and Dajin. Among the three kingdoms, Daxia was the most powerful.

Daliang was a grassland kingdom. The people of Daliang were tall and good at riding and shooting. However, the grassland was not easy to cultivate, so when winter came, the people of Daliang would rob food on the border of Daxia.

Although no major war has ever broken out between the two countries, minor conflicts are common.

As for the Great Jin, it has always been on good terms with Daxia, especially since Princess Deshan married into the Great Jin as a political marriage ten years ago. Since then, the two countries have formed an alliance and maintained friendly exchanges.

The Daqing Village where they are now lives belongs to Qinghe County, but it happened to be hit by a severe drought, the crops failed, and the people had a hard time.

"Mom, the meal is ready, come out and eat!" A knock on the door interrupted Shen Wanning's thoughts.

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "It's my eldest daughter-in-law, Xu. If Wan Ning doesn't mind, why don't you eat some together? It's just that it hasn't rained for several months now, the crops are all gone, and there's nothing good to eat at home."

"At this time, Aunt Zhang is still willing to give me a bite of food. It's already a great kindness. There's no reason to despise it."

Shen Wanning threw back the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but Aunt Zhang pushed her back down.

"My goodness, you can't go out dressed like this. How can a girl show her arms and legs? Wait, I'll get you some clothes, you can change first."

Shen Wanning thought about it and realized that it was ancient times and her short-sleeved shirt and shorts were not very convenient. She smiled awkwardly.

"Thank you so much, Aunt Zhang!"

Aunt Zhang waved her hand. "It's a famine right now, and it's not easy for a girl like you to be out there. Please help if you can! Wait, I'll go get you some clothes first, and then we can go out to eat together later."

After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she opened the door and walked out.

"Mom, why did you come out just now? Everyone is waiting for you to eat! How is the girl in the room?"

Aunt Zhang glanced at her sideways and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Although we don't have much food left at home, since the second son rescued the girl, there's no reason for us to just ignore it."

"I... I didn't say I wouldn't save her, but the girl is delicate and tender, and you can tell at a glance that she's from a wealthy family. Can she get used to eating our food?" Mrs. Xu felt a little unsure and lowered her voice.

"This isn't something you should worry about. Go back to your room and get some clothes for Wan Ning to change into first. We'll eat together after she's done. Forget it, I'll go with you to get it, so you don't bring out all the rags and bring shame to our Lin family."

The noise outside was getting quieter and quieter. Presumably, the two people had already walked far away. Only then did Shen Wanning think about her current situation.

According to the law of time travel, she should be considered the heroine of this world! Since she is the heroine, she must have a cheat code, but I don’t know what her cheat code is!
