Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep
Chapter 48 Ancient Famine Escape 1
After resting in the system space for a while, they continued on to the next world.
"Xiao Qi, let's go."
"Okay, host."
Before she even opened her eyes, she felt someone feeding her water. Zhong Ning didn't know what was going on and decided to receive the memories first.
"Xiao Qi, transfer memories."
"Ok"
As she recalls her memories, she learns that this is an ancient, fictional world. The story is about Bai Qingqing, an eighteen-year-old girl who transmigrates from the 21st century to this Great Zhou Dynasty. Upon arrival, she witnesses cannibalism and is so frightened that she dies of fright.
Then Zhong Ning came over. There was no plot in this world; nothing had happened yet.
All I know is that there is a natural disaster and drought in the north, the rivers have dried up, the crops have all withered and there is no harvest, and there is also a war on the border, so everyone is fleeing to the south.
"Xiao Qi, so I'm the female lead in this world?" Zhong Ning was a little surprised.
"Yes, host, because the original female lead was scared to death, there was no follow-up plot."
Zhong Ning: "This is the first time I've encountered a situation like this. How come the female lead is so timid? She was scared to death as soon as she arrived?"
"According to the system query, the female protagonist has a heart condition. She saw a shocking scene as soon as she arrived and couldn't bear it, so she died."
Zhong Ning: "How could someone with a heart condition be transported to ancient times when people were fleeing famine?"
"Host, all I can say is that anything is possible."
Zhong Ning didn't know what to say. The current situation was that the female lead was terrified. Just as she was about to be turned into reserve food, a villager passed by and saw so many people. The two people then abandoned the original owner and ran away.
Zhong Ning will now be called Bai Qingqing. Let's begin.
Not knowing the specifics of the situation, Bai Qingqing could only wake up and see if the plot would develop any further.
Opening my eyes, I saw a bumpy dirt road, and the surrounding plants were withered and yellow, lifeless.
The weather was hot and humid, and many people gathered to sit under the trees by the roadside to rest.
There were elderly people, children, adult men and women, all carrying large and small bags, and some pushing carts. Judging from the situation, it seemed that people from the same village were fleeing the famine together.
"Girl, you're awake?" A gentle, cautious voice rang out.
Bai Qingqing turned her head and looked at the woman in the dark, rough cross-collar dress, who looked to be in her thirties.
She looked at me with concern but also a hint of hesitation.
"Where is this? What's your name, ma'am?" Bai Qingqing asked.
Upon hearing the question, the woman replied, "My name is Lu Niang. This is the territory of Peach Blossom Village under Huzhou County of the Great Zhou Dynasty. We are from Xiahe Village. The north is arid, so we are going south."
Bai Qingqing: "Thank you for saving me."
Looking at Bai Qingqing's fair skin and the dress she was wearing, made of some unknown fabric, Lu Niang waved her hand somewhat awkwardly: "No need, no need to thank me. It was just a villager passing by who saw you, so I gave you a sip of water."
This girl clearly comes from a wealthy family. Her skin looks so white that it seems she's never been in the sun, her hands are delicate and don't look like she's done any manual labor, and the dress she's wearing is soft and beautiful.
I've never seen such a beautiful girl even in Huzhou City.
Through Bai Qingqing's account to Lu Niang, it was learned that she and her husband had two children, making a family of four.
The older boy is twelve years old, and the younger girl is only eight.
Looking at the two children standing next to me, both of them had sallow complexions and were so thin that they were just bones; they looked like they were malnourished.
There was also the head of the household, a seemingly honest and simple middle-aged man, who went out and came back empty-handed.
The family seemed kind, and the two children looked at them curiously, their lips cracked and dry.
It was obvious that there wasn't much water left, yet they were still willing to give water to a stranger like themselves.
There was nothing to eat to fill their stomachs, and those who went out found nothing.
Bai Qingqing sincerely thanked them: "I still want to thank you all..."
The words are not finished yet.
"Ding"
"Rain God System Binding in progress"
"Bind successful"
A voice suddenly rang in her mind, startling Bai Qingqing.
"What's going on? Xiao Qi, where did this system come from?"
Xiao Qi was also stunned and quickly checked: "Host, I found it. This is the original female lead's cheat ability, but I don't know why it's late."
"So you've bound yourself to me now?"
"Yes, but this system is at a lower level than me, so it can't detect me."
Bai Qingqing: "..."
So now I have two systems.
"Host, can we see what it's trying to do?"
"We can only try to find out more first."
Bai Qingqing called upon the Rain God System in her mind.
A cold, emotionless electronic voice rang out: "This system has detected that this world will experience a drought lasting several decades. Therefore, it has bound itself to the host, who needs to descend to the mortal realm as the Rain God to bring rain, save the world, and collect faith and merit."
Bai Qingqing was shocked: "...How can I pretend to be a deity? What's the use of accumulating merit?"
"The system provides special costumes and Rain God skill effects, all of which will be transmitted to the host. Merit points can be exchanged for cultivation techniques."
Bai Qingqing called out to Xiao Qi: "Did you hear that? In this world, I'm going to play the role of a fairy!"
Xiao Qi: "Host, merit is a good thing, and it will benefit you in the future. You might as well give it a try."
Bai Qingqing agreed when she heard Xiao Qi say that, after all, she had a long road ahead of her, and it would be good to have more trump cards.
Bai Qingqing said to the Rain God System, "Then teleport me."
Then Bai Qingqing was given various ethereal and fairy-like outfits, instructions on how to use skill effects, and some elixirs.
From now on, we can fly! We can make it rain with a wave of our hand, soaring through the clouds. That feels pretty cool.
Once she understood everything, Bai Qingqing came to her senses.
Looking at all these people around us, let's start with them.
"I am the Rain God, and I have come down to earth to see the suffering of the people. On my way down, I unfortunately encountered an accident and fainted on the road. Fortunately, you all came to my rescue."
The voice has a built-in ability: even if the voice is not loud, the person furthest away from you can hear it.
She floated up, and with a wave of her hand, Bai Qingqing changed into a moon-white, light gauze dress with an ethereal feel, and adopted a simple yet elegant hairstyle, surrounded by a faint aura of immortality.
Even though it was daytime, you could clearly see the ethereal aura surrounding it.
Those who were resting heard the sound, and when they realized what was happening and saw the person who had suddenly flown up, they all knelt down and kowtowed, calling him a deity.
"It's a deity! A deity has descended to earth!"
"Ah, I've seen a deity!"
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
Bai Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable with so many people kneeling, but she had been an empress dowager before, so her discomfort only lasted a second.
"Get up, all of you. I must thank you for saving me. As a token of my gratitude, you may divide these things equally among yourselves."
After saying that, he waved his hand again, and a pile of rice appeared on the ground. He opened his hand, and a cloud of water mist appeared on his palm.
Upon seeing the pile of rice, everyone who had just stood up knelt down again in gratitude and kowtowed.
"Thank you, divine being."
"Thank you, divine being, for bestowing food upon us."
Then they had people bring out all the water containers, seeing that they had no water to drink and no clothes to change into if it rained directly and they got wet.
Everyone, please listen carefully and quickly take out the containers filled with water and put them away properly.
Bai Qingqing waved her hand, and the jars were filled with water.
"Thank you, divine being, for bestowing water."
The excited crowd was moved to tears.
After finishing, Bai Qingqing looked at Lu Niang's family and flipped her wrist, revealing a white porcelain bottle in her hand.
"This is a special thank you to your family. There are four health-preserving pills inside. After taking them, your body will reach its best condition."
The white porcelain bottle floated out of thin air and appeared in front of Lu Niang.
The Lu family knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude, their faces filled with excitement.
Bai Qingqing: "Take it, and take it as soon as you get it."
To avoid being robbed after I leave.
Lu Niang reached out her hand with trembling hands, and the bottle floated into her hand. She opened it and smelled a faint fragrance, which relieved her fatigue from the journey.
Give it to the two children first.
"Wow"
A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.
Upon closer inspection, the two children who had just taken the elixir were visibly restored to their former vitality. Their skin was fair and radiant, and their hair was jet black and shiny. There was no trace of their previous sallow and emaciated appearance.
"Mother, I feel full of energy, and I'm not hungry or thirsty at all."
"Mom, Yadan is just like her brother."
It truly was a divine elixir, with immediate results. Everyone was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment, wondering why it wasn't one of their own family members who saved the immortal.
Lu Niang wiped away her tears: "Alright, alright, Mother understands. Gou Dan and Ya Dan, quickly thank the Immortal."
Gou Dan and Ya Dan also knelt down and kowtowed to Bai Qingqing.
When Lu Niang and her husband saw their two children in this state, they were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes, and they quickly took the medicine.
The two looked ten years younger than the naked eye.
Everyone was so amazed they didn't know what to say. They had seen real gods! The gods were flying in mid-air, able to conjure food and water with a wave of their hands, and even change clothes with a wave of their hands.
One pill can instantly make you young, like a child who has been given several years' worth of nutrition all at once.
What I saw today is something I can brag about for a lifetime.
"I will then send down sweet rain, and you can find a place nearby to settle down."
After saying that, Bai Qingqing flew away.
As the immortal flew away, everyone knelt down and kowtowed to bid him farewell.
An elderly man was so moved that he shed tears: "I never thought that at my age I could see a deity and eat the food and water bestowed upon me by a deity."
Those around him echoed his sentiments.
The young men were so excited that their faces turned red: "I saw a god! I saw a god!"
No one could believe it; they had actually met a real deity. They kept confirming it in their minds.
