After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Chapter 2 The Broken Engagement Was Successful

It was almost dawn when Li Qingqing was awakened by the noise outside.

After a good sleep, I felt much better. My face and hands felt a little hot. Li Qingqing looked down and laughed.

I saw that my arms were covered with red rashes, which was a bit scary. No need to guess, my face must be covered with them too.

Li Qingqing walked out of the thatched house calmly.

Following the direction of the sound, she saw a middle-aged woman with a big red flower on her head and dressed in fancy clothes.

The woman was none other than Wang the matchmaker who had come to pick up the bride. Her voice was loud and her deliberately flattering smile was particularly resonant in the early morning, attracting the nearby villagers to walk over here.

In the yard where they were standing, there was a red sedan parked, and two sedan bearers were standing far away beside it.

Seeing Li Qingqing leaving, the gorgeously dressed Wang Da Matchmaker smiled and greeted her: "The girl from the Zhang family——"

He just shouted, but then his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and his words were stuck.

“You, what are you—!”

"What's wrong with me?" Li Qingqing asked in a puzzled manner as she walked slowly.

"Zhang Daya! What's on your face!" Zhang was startled when she turned around, then her eyes bulged and she roared.

At this time, many villagers had gathered around. When they saw Li Qingqing coming out, they started talking about it.

"What's going on with Daya's face? It looks like she has some kind of rash."

"Oh, I heard that Mr. Liu only likes beautiful women. Zhang Daya's engagement is probably going to be broken off now."

Everyone was talking in a low voice, but it still reached Zhang's ears. She was afraid that the matchmaker would misunderstand her. If she didn't take the person away, the money that was about to be obtained would be gone.

"Zhang Daya! Hurry up and wash off that stuff on your face!" Zhang was shocked and angry.

"Grandma, what's wrong with my face?" Li Qingqing pretended to be confused.

"Ms. Zhang, I'm afraid Daya has a rash. Let's call Doctor Zhang right away."

"Ouch! The Zhang family girl looks so creepy like this, it doesn't look like she was bitten by an insect!"

Wang Damai finally came to his senses and said quickly:

"Auntie Zhang, this girl is so ugly, I can't accept it!"

Oh my goodness! If this rash were brought to Mr. Liu, even Wang Damai would be chased out with sticks.

Wang Damai knew Mr. Liu's character very well, so he hurriedly ordered the sedan bearers to take the sedan away quickly.

"Hey, Wang the matchmaker, don't be in such a hurry to leave. My daughter Daya will be well in a few days. You can take her away!" Shao Shi hurried forward and said with an apologetic smile.

"Yes, Wang the matchmaker, we agreed on this at the beginning. Why did you change your mind at the last minute?" Seeing that Wang the matchmaker was about to leave, Zhang became anxious and grabbed him.

"Humph, if this girl takes it and angers Mr. Liu, we'll both be in big trouble!"

Wang Damai pushed Zhang away in disgust and said unhappily, "Don't stop me. Let's go, let's go!"

Wang Damai was complaining in his heart: You guys want to die, but I don’t. If I get beaten up like this, wouldn’t that cost me half my life?!

Mr. Liu is not a pushover!

What bad luck! The matchmaker's gift money was gone again. Wang Da Matchmaker urged the sedan chair bearers to leave quickly, fearing that Zhang would blame him.

Li Qingqing looked at Wang Damai's departing back and blinked: This must mean that the engagement was successfully cancelled, right?

Zhang watched Wang the matchmaker and the sedan bearer slip away quickly, and she was so angry.

"Oh, my ten taels of silver!"

Zhang clutched her chest in pain. Seeing the villagers still gathered in her yard, she impatiently drove them away: "Go away, what are you looking at!"

The villagers who were watching the fun dispersed with joy.

"Mom, what should we do? Should we take her to see a doctor?" Shao came over and asked in a low voice.

Mrs. Shao was worried. How could this girl suddenly become so ill? Just looking at her was terrifying. Who would dare to marry her?

I feel so sorry for spending those ten taels of silver.

"Why see a doctor? He'll be fine in a few days! What bad luck!"

Zhang was filled with rage and had no place to vent it, so she spoke unhappily.

It's all this girl's fault! She's so ugly and even had her engagement broken off. If this gets out, who would dare to marry her?

Now not only are the ten taels of silver gone, but she won't be able to get married in two months and will have to pay a head tax of eight hundred wen!

Thinking of this, Zhang felt her heart ache again, and she couldn't help but yelled angrily, "Zhang Daya, go get some firewood!"

Li Qingqing glanced at her, a sharp look in her eyes.

She really wanted to splash the fire poison flower potion on Zhang's face, but she held back.

My current situation is not optimistic, so I shouldn't act rashly. I can only wait until my body recovers and then find a way to leave here.

However, I feel uncomfortable with the rash and I’m hungry. Let me go to the back mountain and think of a solution!

Li Qingqing walked into the thatched hut where she had slept before. At this time, Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang in the room had also woken up and were hiding behind the door looking out.

There are a lot of people outside, and these two unknown people don't dare to get close to them.

Seeing Li Qingqing come in, they all shouted, "Big sister! I'm scared!"

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the back mountain!"

Li Qingqing smiled and shook her head. What a two little troubles.

Forget it, since I have entered the original owner's body, I might as well help her!

Li Qingqing took them both to the back mountain.

After climbing up the back hillside, there is a flat land covered with bushes. The original owner and her friends had been collecting firewood on this flat land.

Li Qingqing told Dashuang and Xiaoshuang to play nearby and not to run too far. After giving them instructions, she walked towards the bushes nearby.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Qingqing quickly slipped into the space and found some Chinese patent medicine to relieve the itching.

Until she finds another solution, she won't be able to get rid of the rash on her face for the next few days.

After Li Qingqing took the Chinese patent medicine, the itching sensation was instantly relieved a lot.

But my stomach was so hungry and I didn’t know how long it had been since I last had something to eat.

Unfortunately, there was no edible food in the portable storage space.

Li Qingqing dug out a knife about the length of her forearm from the space. She was so hungry now that she wanted to see if she could be lucky enough to hunt a wild rabbit.

There’s nothing I can do because I’m weak, I just have to take things slowly.

Li Qingqing walked deep into the mountains. Not far away, she found a wild fruit tree.

Not far to the left front, Li Qingqing carefully identified it and found that it was a wild cherry tree.

In the sunshine, the green and red cherries complement each other, which is very tempting.

Li Qingqing was somewhat delighted. Although these cherries could not completely fill her stomach, they could at least solve her current hunger problem.

She hurried over, picked a ripe cherry, rubbed it a few times and put it in her mouth. The sweet and sour taste instantly spread in her mouth.

Li Qingqing ate several in a row. When her stomach felt a little better, she picked all the ripe cherries and stored them in the space.

Leave the unripe fruit and let it continue to grow.

After doing all this, Li Qingqing continued to move forward.

These cherries can only temporarily satisfy your hunger. It would be great if you could catch a small prey.
