Quick travel: the life of smuggling is so exciting
Chapter 3: Escape from the Troubled Times 1
"Host, the mission world has been extracted." said 9999.
"The setting is ancient times. The plot tells the story of several generations of loyal officials of the Zhou family who swore to defend the frontier to the death. However, their achievements surpassed their master's, and the old emperor feared them. He accused them of treason and betrayal. The Zhou's direct descendants were executed along with their entire clans, and their women were exiled to the southwestern frontier as military prostitutes. All the other branches of the family were exiled to Lingzhou."
"The heroine is the second daughter of the Zhou family. On her way to exile, she was kidnapped by the hero and taken to Heiqi Mountain to be his wife.
Later, natural disasters occurred frequently, the Hu people invaded the south, the superiors were unkind, and the world was in chaos. The male and female leaders rose up in rebellion, using Zhennan and Lingzhou as their bases, and marched all the way to the capital, conquering the world and vindicating the Zhou family.
"Jiujiu, are you sure? Is this a novice world?"
Wang Zhaozhao was going crazy. How could a small fry like her survive in such a chaotic world?
System 9999 said embarrassedly, "Host, I'm sorry, the good worlds have already been chosen by the big guys. We newcomers can only draw from the remaining ones..."
9999 quickly added, "Don't worry, host. We can choose a good identity for you in the first world and ensure that you can complete the task easily."
"That's more like it..."
"Host, please be prepared, the jump is about to begin." 9999 said seriously.
When Lin Xia heard this, she immediately tensed up, ready for any abnormality.
Suddenly, there was a flash of white light, and a crack appeared out of thin air outside the cube room. The cube sank into the crack at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Lin Xia didn't think about anything and followed in subconsciously.
The white square room had disappeared, leaving only a crack not far away. All around was bottomless darkness. Lin Xia was stunned for a moment and dared not stay any longer. Danger alarms kept flashing in his mind.
Her sixth sense told her that she had to leave immediately. It was dangerous here, extremely dangerous!
When Lin Xia rushed towards the crack, it had shrunk to ten centimeters wide. Seeing that she couldn't squeeze through, she pulled with both hands without thinking.
Unexpectedly, I pulled it a little too far and squeezed my body through.
And in a place where Lin Xia was not paying attention, his hand seemed to tear off a wisp of mist, which turned into stars and merged into her soul.
*
"water"
A whisper as thin as a thread and almost inaudible was heard.
So thirsty, so hot, I really want to drink water...
Lin Xia woke up, her eyeballs trembling rapidly, and she tried hard to pry open her heavy eyelids.
My eyelids felt like they were sewn shut with needles and I couldn't open them. My head felt dizzy as if it had been thrown into a washing machine.
My lips were cracked and bleeding, and my throat felt dry and sore like a scraper.
Lin Xia struggled for a long time before opening her eyes. She had no strength left in her body. She just lay quietly on the ground, feeling the scorching sun, with no light in her eyes.
She saw colorful circles floating in the sky, but she knew it was an illusion caused by the bright light.
After lying down for a while, she slowly gathered some strength and forced herself to sit up.
Looking around, the heat wave distorted the air. There were no buildings or people around, no greenery at all. Everything was withered and yellow, the ground was cracked, and some were just dead trees with peeled bark.
She felt like she would die again if she didn't drink some water.
His hands slowly and carefully explored this new body, trying to find something to eat or drink.
I didn't expect it really exists.
A black pancake whose material was hard to tell, and a bamboo tube half filled with water.
Lin Xia carefully opened the bamboo tube, suppressed the desire in her heart, took a small sip of water, and swallowed it slowly.
A sweet taste of water passed through his throat, relieving the dry pain a little. Lin Xia then moved his body and walked towards the dry tree not far away.
At least there is a little shade, which is better than being under the scorching sun.
Lin Xia sat under a tree, slowly sorting out the confused memories in her mind.
The original owner had the same surname as her, named Dani. She was only 17 years old and became a widow after only one year of marriage.
The original owner married Zhao Dalang, the eldest son of the Zhao family, when she was less than 16 years old. They were in love with each other during their wedding and she soon became pregnant.
The good times did not last long. This year was a bad year. Not only did it not snow during the New Year, but the weather gradually became hotter after March.
Their village is located in the north, and it is usually quite cold in March. The weather this year is abnormal. Fortunately, there is a small river nearby, so they can still survive even if the water level drops.
Zhao Dalang saw that the original owner's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and the grain harvest was about to fail. He became anxious, so he took his tools and called a few people to go hunting in the mountains.
As a result, the prey was not caught, but instead was mistaken for prey by a group of wild boars coming down the mountain. One person died, one was seriously injured, and two were slightly injured. The one who died was Zhao Dalang.
Upon hearing the bad news, the original owner went into premature labor at eight months old, giving birth to a sickly baby boy.
Originally, the parents-in-law were planning to live with their eldest son in their old age, but now that the eldest son died indirectly because of the original owner, they immediately disliked her.
He separated the mother and daughter without giving them a penny, and even withheld the original owner's dowry, although the original owner didn't have much dowry, just two pieces of clothing and a few sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Without even returning these few things to the original owner, he was kicked out of the house along with his son wearing only thin clothes.
For the sake of their grandson, the in-laws did not really force the original owner to death. Instead, they gave her some food to prevent her and her from starving to death.
When the crops were about to mature, a locust plague hit the village, bringing devastating disaster, and only a small amount of food was rescued.
Unfortunately, misfortunes never come alone. The war in the north intensified, there were rumors of conscription, and the court also announced a tax increase.
The weather was getting hotter and the nearby rivers were almost dry. Seeing that they could not survive, the Zhaojia Village decided to flee to Kyoto.
The original owner took his son and almost non-existent belongings and followed the Zhao family to escape famine.
Originally, her mother-in-law was not willing to take the original owner as a burden, but because she was good-looking, had some face from her grandson, and was persuaded by her two brothers-in-law, she was taken along.
In fact, the original owner could guess some of their thoughts, because the villagers had no money and sold a group of girls and women before leaving.
Compared to other people in the village, the original owner's husband's family, the Zhao family, did not sell her and her son in advance, so they were considered a "good" family. She could not survive with her son alone, so she did not want to think too much about it and just took things one step at a time.
However, the original owner's son was born prematurely, and he only lived for more than two months with the original owner's careful care. There was really no better condition, so he died on the third day of fleeing famine on the road.
The original owner was devastated. She developed a high fever that night and walked around in a daze for two days. She fainted on the road and looked to be dying. She was abandoned on the roadside by her mother-in-law.
Fortunately, the original owner's sister-in-law Zhang took pity on her and secretly gave her a cake and half a can of water, wishing her to survive.
After reading the original owner's memory, Lin Xia couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, the Zhao family didn't abandon her for long, and no one passed by in the middle, otherwise she would not be able to keep the food and drink in her hands.
No one expected that she, a virgin, would become a widow after traveling through time, and even gave birth to a child, but the child died young.
Although I had some mean thoughts in my heart, I was still glad that my husband and children were gone when I traveled through time.
Other people's husbands are really unable to accept it.
If you take care of a child, you may not be able to support yourself, let alone the child.
