Time Travel: Volume 1! Starting from a Small Mountain Village

"Holy crap, I've time-traveled!"

As soon as Long Lifan woke up, she looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, but memories flooded her mind like a tidal wave, and she couldn't help but swear.

She—Long Lifan: A person living in the 21st century, who actually traveled back to the 1970s. This was really hard for her to accept. She had learned about how complicated the situation was during that period through her research.

She met a girl with the same name as her. She was 15 years old and had just graduated from high school. Some time ago, she volunteered to go to the countryside for some reasons.

Yesterday, the young woman ran into her former neighbor on the street. He had gone to the countryside two years ago, but in just over a year, the changes were beyond her imagination. He looked so thin and bony that he looked like someone who had fled back from war.

The young girl knew that life in the countryside was tough, but she never imagined it would be this hard.

Now it's too late for him to regret it. On one hand, he worries that he'll end up like that if he goes to the countryside. On the other hand, he's afraid that not going will cause trouble for his family. While he's worrying, she develops a high fever and dies, which gives him the chance to be reborn!

Long Lifan, a modern person, was born into an orphanage and never knew who her parents were. Perhaps due to her own circumstances, or perhaps because she had witnessed too much of the coldness and indifference of human relationships, she was always convinced that no one could be trusted, not even her own parents.

So she's always been very curly, like a whirlwind. At only 24, she'd already graduated from university a little over a year ago, started her own studio, and had a promising future. Today, she was driving while on the phone discussing business. Perhaps even fate couldn't tolerate her frivolous behavior, because she got into a car accident.

But I didn't want to travel here at all. In this era where people can't dress well or have enough to eat, just living feels like a mental exhaustion!

"Mother, has Second Sister woken up?"

A man's voice came through the door! Judging from the voice, it should be the original owner's elder brother, Long Weiguo!

"It's over! I just went in to check on her, she's still unconscious!" A middle-aged woman's voice rang out, but it was tinged with sadness and a hint of panic as she said, "I don't know what happened to Er Ya, she came back like this yesterday... We went to the hospital, but they couldn't find anything wrong!"

Listening to the sounds outside, Long Lifan knew that it must be the original owner's mother—Zuo Shuli.

The original owner's family was quite powerful; her grandparents were both prominent figures who joined the revolution early on. Her grandfather was a high-ranking military officer, and her grandmother was in a medical team; both had shed blood for the revolution in their youth!

Grandpa and Grandma had two sons and one daughter, but due to the war, only the third son, Long Wenhai, who was the original owner's father, is left!

Long Wenhai has two sons and two daughters: the eldest son, Long Weiguo; the second son, Long Liping; the third son, Long Lifan; and the fourth son, Long Weihua.

Logically speaking, the Long family was very well-off. Apart from the original owner of this body who had just graduated and the fourth son, Long Weihua, who was in junior high school, they were all government employees and did not need to go to the countryside.

Perhaps sensing something amiss early on, the grandparents retired a few years ago. The situation wasn't so good for the original owner's maternal grandfather; due to historical reasons, he was persecuted and sent to the countryside.

My maternal grandfather also had two sons and two daughters; the original owner's mother was the second son. To avoid implicating his children, my grandfather announced early on that he was severing ties with them. During this time, my paternal grandfather also used his connections to arrange for my grandfather's children to leave the country!

The original owner of this body just graduated this year, and her family was about to worry about her finding a job. Not wanting to trouble her family, she secretly signed up to go to the countryside, but unexpectedly met a friend who was visiting relatives in the countryside.

"Little sister, you're awake!" Long Lifan, who was sorting through her memories, was interrupted by a voice, which carried a hint of joy in its tone. Looking up, she saw it was the original owner's eldest brother.

"Oh my, my Er Ya, you're finally awake!" Hearing her older brother's voice, Zuo Shuli walked in, slapped her thigh hard, and her smile gradually became clear.

"I'm sorry, Mother, and Brother made you worry!" Looking at the expressions on their faces, Long Lifan felt a pang of sadness, unsure whether it was because she had never experienced the care of her family before or because of the original owner's own emotions.

"It's good that you're alright!" Daenerys walked over, touched her forehead with her hand, and murmured, "Hmm, the temperature has gone down."

"Er Ya, you should rest well. I'll go prepare lunch. Get up and eat something later. You need to eat something good to recover from being sick!" With that, she pulled her older brother out of the room.

"I wonder where the original owner went. It must be such a pity to leave with such loving family!" Looking at the closed door, she murmured to herself, "I wonder if I'll ever have a chance to go back!"

"There's no chance, host!" A clear voice rang in Long Lifan's mind.

"Damn it, this system is a piece of shit." Upon hearing the word "host," Long Lifan immediately stood up. Although she was a legendary novelist in her previous life, she would still read novels in her spare time to pass the time.

"Host, you're wrong. I'm not that damn system, I'm a trading system!" the mechanical voice rang out again.

“…” Long Lifan’s answer was completely absurd. This system didn’t seem to work very well.

"Host, weren't you just wondering where the original owner went?"

"You know, it couldn't have gone to my world, could it?" Long Lifan said calmly, resting her chin on her hand.

"How could that be? Host, you know how fast you were driving that caused a serious car accident and explosion. Your body is probably already burned to a crisp!"

"Thanks, that's well said, but don't say it again!" Long Lifan rolled her eyes, indicating she wasn't comforted. "Where did she go?"

"The universe is made up of multiple worlds. The original body went to another parallel world. Don't worry, she's alive and well."

"That's alright!" Long Lifan nodded, as long as the original owner was alive! Suddenly, as if remembering something, she exclaimed, "Oh dear, since the original owner didn't go to my world, what about my assets? Who owns my company?!"

"Uh..." The system was momentarily speechless. After a long pause, it slowly said, "Our system has settled the host's assets and found that there is currently 350 yuan remaining, which has been deposited into the host's account!"

"350 yuan!"

"Are you kidding me? My company is so big, and you only have 350 yuan left? Do you think I'd believe that? Confess honestly, did you embezzle my money?" Long Lifan shouted.

The trading system was practically in tears. Didn't its predecessors say that their systems were treated like ancestors by their hosts? Why was the situation so different here?

He couldn't help but sneer: "Host, don't you know how serious the car accident you caused was? You'll have to pay for all of this."

"Oh, is that so? Okay, I misunderstood you!" Long Lifan nodded frankly, at least she could accept it if she said that.

Hearing that its host was no longer pressing the issue, the guilty system breathed a sigh of relief. It had indeed intended to pocket the 350 yuan, and it seemed that its firm stance was the right thing to do.

This style is more like it. It seems that the system has found a way to control the host, and a little smugness can't help but rise up.
