Traveling back to the Northern Song Dynasty: Picking up a princess as my wife

Since the wheelbarrow had been damaged in the accident, the grain on it had to be carried back by people. The Yue brothers also called over the dozen or so people, and they followed Li Zhen and the others towards the mountain village.

When Li Zhen and his group returned to the village, everyone was overjoyed to see the grain; with this grain, they could survive.

With the addition of Yue Peng and his dozen or so men, the village now had a population of nearly fifty. However, most of them were elderly, weak, sick, or disabled; the only able-bodied men were Wang Changdao's squad of soldiers and Yue Peng and his brother. Their weapons consisted of a rusty machete and a few wooden spears. These "wooden spears" were simply wooden sticks with the tips sharpened and a strip of cloth tied to them.

Since there were many vacant houses in the village, it was easy to accommodate the dozen or so people. After dinner, Li Zhen lay on a dilapidated wooden bed and looked at the starry sky through a hole in the roof.

Since there was little nightlife in this era, everyone basically went to sleep as soon as it got dark. Wang Changdao took advantage of this rare opportunity to discuss the beauty of life with Widow Zhang, since they had finally eaten their fill and had some energy.

Li Zhen examined the jade pendant in his hand again by the moonlight. It was reflecting the color of the moonlight, and he felt that the jade pendant seemed to be something different.

Seeing the changes in the jade pendant in his hand, Li Zhen seemed to have thought of something. He picked up the stainless steel kitchen knife, gritted his teeth, and slashed his palm hard. Blood immediately gushed from the wound.

Li Zhen quickly placed the jade pendant in his injured hand and gripped it tightly. He felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and soon he felt himself in an empty space.

The entire space seemed to be enveloped in an invisible silver light. As Li Zhen recalled his home, another flash of silver light appeared before his eyes. When he came to his senses, he found himself sitting in his own home. There was still a bowl of pork rib soup in the kitchen, and the vegetables he had chopped before his transmigration were still perfectly intact on the cutting board.

Upon seeing this familiar scene, Li Zhen knew he had traveled back in time, and the feeling was wonderful. He just couldn't understand why, after spending over a month in the Song Dynasty, he was back in the same place as when he first left.

The pain in his hand brought Li Zhen back to normal. He quickly found some gauze and medicine to bandage the wound. It hurt too much!

After everything was taken care of, Li Zhen disregarded the fact that the wound should not get wet, wrapped his injured hand in a plastic bag and gave himself a good bath, then carefully shaved his face.

After everything was tidied up, Li Zhen laid out all the food he could find on the table and began to feast heartily. For him, who had been hungry for so long, this feeling was wonderful.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Li Zhen was now lazily lying on the sofa, picking his teeth with a toothpick. He was staring blankly at the food on the table, playing with the jade pendant in his hand, thinking that it would be great if he could bring this food to the Song Dynasty.

Just as he was thinking this, a flash of silver light appeared before his eyes, and the coffee table, along with the leftover food on it, disappeared.

Li Zhen was so shocked that he stood up immediately: What's going on?

Li Zhen examined the jade pendant in his hand and could clearly sense that his own coffee table and leftover food were placed inside.

Li Zhen was no longer calm. This was a space! So the jade pendant not only could travel through time, but it also had its own separate space. However, this travel came at a price. Li Zhen had to completely stain the jade pendant red with his own blood, and then think about his destination in his mind. Only in this way could the jade pendant's time-travel function be activated.

Li Zhen then conducted an experiment using his own bed. He held the jade pendant and touched his bed; another flash of silver light appeared, and the bed vanished from his house. He sensed it with his mental power, and the bed appeared in the jade pendant's separate space.

Li Zhen jumped up excitedly: "Hahaha... This is a treasure! With this, can't I travel back and forth between the Song Dynasty and the modern era? Then I can buy a lot of food and supplies and bring them to the Song Dynasty?"

Without hesitation, Li Zhen quickly changed into clean clothes and went to a grain and oil store for a major shopping spree. He bought two thousand kilograms of rice and one thousand kilograms of flour. Due to the large quantity, the store owner offered to deliver it to his door. Li Zhen paid using WeChat and left his address.

Next, he went to a hardware store and bought some steel pipes and various knives, the kind that could be used for fighting. The hardware store owner kept glancing at Li Zhen; if it weren't for his refined appearance, he would have thought Li Zhen was some gangster buying weapons.

Li Zhen asked his boss to find a three-wheeled vehicle for hauling goods and to deliver the items to a secluded alley not far from here. There were no security cameras and few pedestrians there, so he didn't have to worry about being seen.

Li Zhen held the jade pendant and with a wave of his hand, stored the steel pipes and knives he had purchased into the pendant's space. He opened his phone and looked at the meager balance, thinking: I have to find a way to get some valuable things back, otherwise I won't have any money to buy anything.

After Li Zhen returned home, the owner of the grain and oil store had his workers deliver the rice and flour he had bought. Fortunately, Li Zhen lived on the first floor, and it took the two workers nearly half an hour to unload the goods. After thanking them with bottled water, Li Zhen immediately closed the door and went back to his room. He then put the rice and flour into his storage space as usual, carefully untied his injured hand, gritted his teeth, and cut it again with a fruit knife.

Blood flowed out as if it were free. Li Zhen quickly smeared the jade pendant with blood, then gripped it tightly, his mind focused on his village in the Northern Song Dynasty. A flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and when Li Zhen opened his eyes, he found himself back in that small village, still in that dilapidated house.

Li Zhen: "Hahaha... I'm back again. Northern Song Dynasty, I, Li Zhen, am going to enjoy the pleasures of this era to the fullest. I'll have three wives and four concubines, a multitude of servants and maids, and I'll also build my own village and town, creating a utopia for the Song Dynasty, my utopia, Li Zhen's utopia!"

At that moment, a shouting and cursing voice came from the next room: "Are you sick?! Why aren't you sleeping at this hour? Aren't you hungry?"

The next morning, Li Zhen gathered more than fifty people from the village and, in front of everyone, magically filled several rice jars with pure white rice. Since the rice labels had writing and production dates on them, Li Zhen removed the labels beforehand to avoid trouble.

Wang Changdao scooped up a handful of rice from the rice jar, took a bite, and then shouted excitedly, "Top-quality rice! This is top-quality rice! My God! Brother Li Zhen is a god!"

Then Wang Changdao led more than fifty people to kneel down and kowtow to Li Zhen. What else could he be but a god who could conjure up such high-quality rice out of thin air?

Li Zhen then said in a deep voice, "Last night I received instruction from the Three Pure Ones. He said that everyone is suffering too much in this chaotic world, so he gave me the ability to save all living beings. However, in order to keep this a secret, everyone must not tell anyone about this, otherwise the consequences will be very serious if the Three Pure Ones get angry."

After Li Zhen's "miracle" demonstration, everyone was even more convinced of his words. They all promised not to tell anyone about what happened today. With enough food, there was no need to worry about the villagers going hungry.
