Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Ji Han got off the train in Qunshan City, took an intercity bus to Zhoushan County, and then transferred to a local bus to Sanshan Town. Because of the bad timing, Ji Han had to walk back from Sanshan Town to Lishan Village. Fortunately, he didn't have much luggage, just a backpack.

As for why he didn't drive, Ji Han did it on purpose, of course. What if his irresponsible parents saw that he was living a good life and started to leech off him again?

The mountain roads were rugged and uneven, but fortunately Ji Han's night vision was pretty good. With the help of his mobile phone's light, he stumbled along the way, and by the time he arrived at Lishan Village, it was already past nine o'clock at night.

People in the mountains rest early at night, and without any lights, candles, or footsteps, Ji Han quietly returned to the Ji family's old house.

"Squeak!"

The sound of the rotten, dilapidated door bearings turning was especially noticeable in the quiet night.

"Who?"

The noise from the gate woke up the people sleeping inside. After they asked what was wrong, Ji Han, standing in the courtyard, could clearly hear the sounds of people getting dressed, putting on shoes, walking, and even picking up a stick from behind the door.

"It's me, Ji Han!"

The stick raised behind the door was thrown to the ground with a thud, followed by a chorus of curses and complaints coming from inside. Ji Han ignored it, treating it as if the other person was talking nonsense.

The door to the main room was finally opened from the inside with the same creaking sound.

"Why are you back so late? Come on in. There's no room in the house right now. You'll have to make do in the main room for the night. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

After saying that, Ji's father slipped on his shoes and went back to the bedroom on the east side of the main room. With a bang, the bedroom door was closed, leaving Ji Han alone in the courtyard. No, Ji Han had always been the only one in the courtyard.

The Ji family's old house was renovated in the first year after Ji's father got married. At that time, all the money that Ji's father and mother earned in their first year away from home was spent here, so the house was renovated quite well.

The main house has three rooms facing south. The middle room is the main hall. To the west of the main hall is the room of Grandpa Ji and Grandma Ji. To the east was originally the room of Father Ji and Mother Ji, which later belonged to Ji Han. Today, that room has once again welcomed its first owner.

In addition to the three main rooms, there are two connected rooms on the east side of the courtyard, which are the kitchen and the storage room, and there is also an outhouse in the southwest corner.

Ji Han did not go to the main room. The mountains were especially damp and cold in winter. There was no heated brick bed in the main room. If he sat there all night, he would either freeze to death or be half-frozen. He turned around and went to the east room. He first filled the big pot with water and then lit the stove.

With the crackling sound of burning firewood, the rising heat traveled through the pipes to a small kang (heated brick bed) in the corner of the storage room. This kang was built by Ji Han's grandfather when he was in elementary school, so that he could grow bean sprouts and garlic shoots in the storage room during the winter.

Having been unused for a long time, the small kang (heated brick bed) was piled with miscellaneous items. Ji Han moved them one by one, leaving only the kang mat and a tattered quilt. Ji Han then opened the cabinet in the corner and pulled out a large cardboard box, which was filled with clothes that Ji Han could no longer wear.

Ji Han spread the clothes on the tattered mattress and used them as bed sheets. Since there was no quilt, he tried his best to heat the kang (a heated brick bed) up, then took off his down jacket and covered himself with it. That's how he made do for his first night back in the village.
