Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?

Chapter 285 The Little Deaf-Mute of the Era 1

When Liu Yuxi woke up, she heard no sound; all was quiet. But her body ached all over, especially the back of her head, which she must have bumped.

She immediately released her mental energy, and was so frightened that she opened her eyes.

Good heavens, where is this? Looking at the shadowy figures around her, Liu Yuxi knew from the glimpse she had just made with her spiritual power that they were all trees.

This must be in some mountain range, but how can there be no sound in the mountains? How can it be so quiet? Not to mention the chirping of wild animals and insects, there isn't even the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves.

Thinking of a possibility, Liu Yuxi became a little anxious. She touched the back of her head and confirmed that it was broken. She found a big tree, scanned the area with her mental energy, and after confirming that no one was around, she flashed into her spatial dimension.

In this uncertain situation, staying in the wilderness is not safe; she needs to enter the space to receive the original owner's memories.

Once inside the space, he ignored his injuries, figuring his "super strength" attribute would heal him in a bit.

Sitting on the sofa: "Xiao Liu, transfer the original owner's memories."

"Okay, host!"

After receiving the original owner's information, Liu Yuxi didn't know what to say. She was filled with resentment, but didn't know who to vent it on.

It is now 1972. The original owner is 4 years old. A 4-year-old child doesn't have many memories, but Liu Yuxi received the memories of the original owner's entire life. The original owner in the original timeline didn't die this time; he must have lived a lifetime.

But in this time and space, at this point in time, perhaps because of the time and space fluctuations when Xiao Liu brought her here, the original owner was reborn. But the original owner had suffered too much in her life, and she really didn't want to live another life. Just then, Xiao Liu came to her.

Hearing that they needed to use her body, she couldn't be happier. She had been thinking about how she could die again since she was only four years old. Now she didn't have to think about it anymore. They were sending her directly to be reincarnated. Wasn't that like a "timely rain"?

So, the original owner left all her memories to Xiao Liu, and she couldn't wait to be reincarnated.

Now let's start from the beginning and talk about the original owner's life. The original owner was born at the end of 1968. Her family lived in Liujia Village, which is located in northern Anhui Province, facing the Huai River and backed by mountains.

Anhui Province is located in a plain area and is a major agricultural province. Liujia Village was not originally located here; the villagers fled from Henan in 42 due to famine.

As you can tell from the village name, their village is a clan that fled all the way from Henan. Many people in the clan died, and they also took in many scattered refugees, mostly the elderly, women, and children.

Why? For the continuation of the clan! At that time, no one knew where they would flee to or where they could settle down. Members of the clan could not marry. If they ended up in some remote mountain forest, they would have to prepare some people from other clans for marriage!

Taking in the elderly, women, and children serves two purposes: firstly, these people pose no threat; secondly, no matter what, they can only rely on the Liu clan and cannot usurp power, ensuring that the Liu clan will always have a voice.

The last reason is rather cruel: the famine of 42 was so severe that, when all else failed, these people became the Liu clan's reserve grain.

From the perspective of later civilizations, this kind of animalistic behavior did exist and occurred many times.

Most of the able-bodied men in their tribe suffered few casualties on the way to escape famine; the deaths were mostly among the elderly, children, and women.

Due to the times, the prevailing view was that preserving young and strong men was the best option. They were young, had fighting skills, and could protect others. Furthermore, they were there to continue the family line. As long as they were alive, the Liu clan would continue to exist.

Following this route, we arrived at the present location of Liujia Village. As is well known, Anhui Province has virtually no original inhabitants, only 2.2 monuments to heroes.

When they arrived in this area, there was an abandoned village with dilapidated mud-brick and thatched houses that could be lived in with just a roof replacement.

Facing the Huai River and backed by mountains, the village is next to a large tract of land. When the old farmers in the clan went over to take a look, they found that it was farmland that had been abandoned for several years. With just a little care, it could be cultivated.

On the way to escape the famine, we passed through several desolate towns, the closest of which was only half a day's walk away.

The Liu family was too exhausted to continue their journey. They had to avoid towns and be wary of other refugees, and they lacked both food and clothing. Now that they had found such a place, the old clan chief decided not to leave and to settle down there.

Although the village is next to the Huai River, it is still two or three miles away. This section of the Huai River is straight with a gentle current. Moreover, the village is located on relatively high ground, at the foot of the mountain. Even if the water rises, it will at most flood the land, but will not flood the village.

And so, the Liu family settled down. The original owner's grandfather, Liu Laogen, had lost his parents, wife, and youngest daughter to illness on the way to escape famine, leaving only him and his two sons, Liu Dazhu and Liu Erzhu.

After settling down, Liu Laogen was busy every day reclaiming wasteland and planting crops with his clansmen. When he returned home, he still had to prepare meals. Looking at six-year-old Liu Dazhu and four-year-old Liu Erzhu, he was still raising them the same way they were when they fled famine.

There was no other way but to ask the clan to find a wife to take care of the family. The clan introduced a mother and daughter they had taken in on their journey to escape famine, Zhang Dani and Liu Erya. They introduced Zhang Dani, the mother, while Liu Erya was six years old at the time, the same age as Liu Dazhu.

They were all survivors of the famine. Zhang Dani knew that she was a widow and unemployed, with a daughter, and that things wouldn't be easy for her in the future. It would be best for her to go to another family. Liu Laogen was honest and hardworking, and a member of the Liu clan. If she married him, she and her daughter would become members of the Liu family.

So when the daughter-in-law of the Liu clan found her, she agreed, and that's how the two families merged into one, and life went on like that.

In the past few years, things were alright. During the famine, everyone suffered physical injuries and no new children were born into the family. Zhang Dani treated all the children equally, and sometimes she was even nicer to Liu Dazhu and his brother.

After all, her daughter will get married in the future, and she will be living with Liu Dazhu after she goes with Liu Laogen, so she has to treat her two stepsons well.

But after the Japanese surrendered, whether it was because her health had recovered or because she felt hopeful for the future, Zhang Dani, who had been married into the Liu family for five years, became pregnant in 1947.

In 1948, Zhang Dani gave birth to Liu Laogen's third son, Liu Xiaozhu. However, due to her weak constitution, Zhang Dani was unable to have any more children after giving birth to Liu Xiaozhu.

It's okay if she gives birth, since this baby is a son. Zhang Dani will have her own son now, and she won't have to live at the mercy of her stepson when she gets old.

Once people have confidence, their behavior naturally changes from before. Fortunately, Liu Dazhu was twelve years old at this time, and Liu Erzhu was ten years old. The two brothers could be used as half a strong laborer.

Moreover, they are also descendants of the Liu family. Even if Liu Xiaozhu is not yet grown up, the Liu family members will treat the three brothers the same way. Liu Xiaozhu's status is definitely not as high as Liu Dazhu's, after all, he is the eldest son.

So Zhang Dani didn't criticize Liu Dazhu and his brother, but compared to a few years ago, she definitely favored Liu Xiaozhu.
