Traveling Through Farmhouses: Taking the Baby on a Famine Escape

"System, help me...!"

When Zhang Xixi regained consciousness, she found herself lying on a hard bed. Had she been rescued?

"System, am I still alive?"

System: "With this system around, of course the host is alive and well!"

Zhang Xixi was overjoyed; she could finally marry a rich and handsome man and reach the pinnacle of her life!

Yay! That's great!

It seems the system is really powerful; even those with bad luck can only look on in despair!

Zhang Xixi remembers finding a red banknote when she was a child, only to have it stolen in the blink of an eye. Later, she won a free order coupon on Taobao, but her account was hacked at that very moment. And so on... all sorts of lucky and unlucky things happened one after another. Just thinking about all this made Zhang Xixi extremely depressed!

She felt that God was always working against her. Of course, it was also possible that God couldn't stand her being a freeloader and was jealous of her being able to reap without sowing!

This time, the curse has finally been broken!

Suddenly, the door opened, and a figure carrying a lamp walked in.

Is anyone coming to check on the patients?

Why aren't the lights on so late at night?

Zhang Xixi quickly closed her eyes, but the person walked to her bedside and touched her forehead.

He muttered, "Thank goodness, the fever has finally gone down!" Then he pulled the blanket up for Zhang Xixi and went out.

Zhang Xixi looked at the person's back and felt something was wrong. Although the light was dim, the person was wearing clothes that looked like those in period dramas.

And that lamp—you can't find such an antique lamp anymore!

"System, system, am I really still alive?"

Am I in the underworld?

I knew it! How could God let me off so easily? My prime years have been wasted like this!

Waaaaah... I don't want to die!

"It's all your fault, you damn system!"

The system felt wronged: "Host, you are really still alive, but there's been a slight deviation."

"What deviation? You just said I was perfectly fine!" Zhang Xixi said, glaring at him.

"You're not lying to me again, are you?"

"Host, you're not missing any limbs, you're definitely alive and well!"

Zhang Xixi touched her arms and legs and found they were still there. Then she touched her heart and found it was still beating. Would a ghost still have a heartbeat?

Zhang Xixi stopped crying and urged, "System, tell me quickly, what happened to me?"

"Host, you are still alive, just in a different body."

As long as you're still alive, even if you have a different body, just consider it a cosmetic surgery!

It's okay!

System: "But..."

Zhang Xixi asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Could it be that she's been given a man's body? It's okay, I just told my parents I had sex reassignment surgery, and that I think being a man is better!

The system said guiltily, "No, it's that I've traveled to another world."

what?

It has actually transcended time and space!

"System, can't you just find a body in your original world? I still have my parents to take care of!"

System: "There's nothing I can do. Your original body was already beyond repair, and this system only found a body in this time and space that matched the host's soul. Moreover, it took almost all of my energy to allow the host to travel here."

Wait a minute, let me sort this out first!

I died, and then I time-traveled!

Although I've read a lot of novels before and dreamed of time travel, it wasn't after I got a cheat code!

Sigh! Just being alive is good enough!

Mom and Dad, thankfully I bought comprehensive insurance before boarding the plane. I hope the insurance company's compensation will make your lives a little better!

Suddenly, Zhang Xixi seemed to remember something and asked in horror, "System, you didn't kill the original owner, did you?!"

"How could that be? The system forbids killing!"

"What about the original owner?"

"The original owner died before we arrived due to the severe shock and persistent high fever!"

It's not that I'm glad she died, otherwise I'd feel guilty for the rest of my life! After all, I'm a model youth raised under the red flag, I can't do things like murder and arson.

System: "Coward"

“System, I’m not being cowardly, I just have principles and a bottom line!” Zhang Xixi retorted.

Forget it, you're not human, you wouldn't understand!

System: "..." Another personal attack on me!

"By the way, system, I don't have the original owner's memories, will that give me away?"

"How could this system not have thought of such a small thing?"

"Host, please lie down. We are now transferring your memories!"

Zhang Xixi lay obediently on the bed, and then the original owner's life from birth to death appeared in her mind. It was just the life of an ordinary ancient farm girl. The only special thing was that she was particularly unlucky after getting married!

Before she got married, the original owner was truly happy. Although her family was a bit poor, as the youngest daughter, everyone doted on her. She had never suffered any hardship and had no worries! After getting married, all sorts of rumors started flying around. She guessed it might be because she and the Zhou family were incompatible according to their birth charts!

On the second day of their marriage, the husband volunteered to join the army. Outsiders assumed he was going to war because he was unhappy with his new wife! After all, the original husband was a scholar who was exempt from military service, and now he was rushing to his death. Outsiders naturally misunderstood.

Not long after the original owner gave birth, a pack of wolves attacked the village. In order to protect her people, her parents-in-law were bitten by wolves and died a year later. Outsiders thought they were angered to death by her.

In short, the original owner had a falling out with the Zhou family, and she ultimately became the scapegoat for all these troubles. Now, her husband's death has become the last straw that broke the original owner's back!

Zhang Xixi felt that the original owner of this body not only shared the same name as her, but also the same luck. Luck would strike in less than a second, so even when she had a good hand, her bad luck would turn it into a bad one.

I wonder if things will get even worse in the future, since the combined effect of two misfortunes shouldn't be underestimated!

Zhang Xixi shook her head. She decided to find out the situation first and get her footing before thinking about anything else.

Because the original owner had only ever been to the town, all he knew was that this was Zhoujia Village in the northwest of the Tianqi Dynasty, backed by the Tianmu Mountains. The village had the most people with the surname Zhou, as well as a few people with other surnames.

The original owner married into the Zhou clan. Currently, only she, her 12-year-old uncle, and two 7-year-old children remain in the family. The family is very small, but the family's resources are also very meager.

In the past two years, she has barely managed to make ends meet thanks to the support of her clan and her maternal family, as well as the fact that she worked day and night doing embroidery. However, her life has been miserable.

This year is even worse. Not only is there no food, but we can't even afford wild vegetable porridge because the area has been suffering from drought for a year, and even the landlords have no surplus grain.

Zhang Xixi felt immense pressure. Was she going to starve to death after being put in a different body?

"System, are you still working?"

System: "Host, rest assured, you will still have luck points when completing missions in this era."

Hearing that her cheat system was still usable, Zhang Xixi felt a little relieved. If she couldn't even guarantee her survival, how could she talk about becoming a rich woman?

"Heh... yawn"

Zhang Xixi rubbed her eyes and yawned. She was so sleepy!

Let's talk about it after I wake up!
