NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1 Crossing
The room was dark, with an oil lamp standing in front of the bed.
Next to him, an eight-year-old boy was lying on the bedside, his face covered with runny nose.
"Sister, wake up! Sister, don't leave me, ugh..."
A middle-aged woman, holding a two-year-old girl in her arms, sat beside the bed and sobbed: "My dear Ah Shi, why did you just leave like this!"
Li Zhenzhen opened his eyes slightly, he had a splitting headache and his brain was running rapidly.
"Where am I? What happened?"
Li Zhenzhen suddenly stood up from the bed and looked at the boy and the woman.
The woman was overjoyed and hurriedly told her son: "Xiaodouzi, go and get a bowl of water for my sister."
The child wiped away his tears and smiled through his tears: "Sister, I'm awake!"
Li Zhenzhen raised his head and quickly merged with the memory of the original owner.
Getting off work, car accident, chasing a thief, falling to death...
The pictures in his head gradually became clearer, and Li Zhen really understood: She had traveled through time!
Li Zhenzhen was originally a programmer in a large factory, a typical social worker 996. His daily life was an endless cycle of going to work, working overtime, getting off work, and checking in for food.
After getting off work at 10: that night, as usual, she ate a bowl of snail noodles downstairs in the company and watched a food live broadcast on the sidewalk, but was hit by a speeding sports car.
She still clearly remembered that she fell to the ground, blood slowly flowing out from her head, and covering her whole body with warmth.
Before she lost consciousness, she took one last look at the world. The trees on the roadside were covered with white pear blossoms.
The consciousness drifted away from the body like threads, and then came to the original owner - Liu Muxi.
They come, the security!
Li Zhenzhen changed his role in his mind.
"Mou Xi, now I am Liu Mianxi, from Liujia Village."
"Sister, drink water quickly!" The child held a bowl of water in both hands and handed it to his sister Mao Xi.
After drinking water, my consciousness becomes clearer.
Mao Xi looked around the room. The walls were bare and even the bowls were broken.
Mao Xi searched his mind for all the information about the world.
This is the Huai Kingdom, a dynasty close to the Song Dynasty in our own world, with abundant resources and abundant people.
Liujia Village, where her family is located, is a severely impoverished village where the entire village is engaged in farming.
My parents are loyal and honest, but my uncle doesn't like them, and they are often bullied by my uncles and aunts who live in my second and third bedrooms.
After her father and eldest brother were drafted into the army, mother Chen was left alone with her 13-year-old Shui Xi, her eight-year-old brother Zi'an (nicknamed Xiaodouzi), and her two-year-old sister Ajiao.
After my grandmother passed away, my grandfather married my grandmother, who treated my mother harshly.
Mao Xi opened the quilt and hurried to the backyard.
Her mother, Ms. Chen, dragged her sick body to stand up reluctantly, hugged her sister and followed her: "Ah Shu, you just woke up, walk slower!"
The cow in the cowshed is really lost!
Mao Xi remembered that before the accident, she heard the noise and went to the cowshed to check, and found that her cattle were gone.
She followed the sound in the dark to the stream, and was about to catch the cattle thief.
Unexpectedly, he slipped in the river, hit his forehead on a stone, and passed out.
The younger brother who followed along called the neighbor and took her home.
The rope that tied the cattle was neatly cut. Mao Xi squatted down, groped in the cowshed, and found a pair of scissors on the ground.
This is a pair of scissors for women to use for female prostitutes. It is compact and portable.
Mao Xi concluded that it was a cattle thief who accidentally fell down when he was trying to escape.
"Auntie, are these your scissors?"
Chen shook his head in denial.
Mao Xi returned to the house and put away the scissors. Just after midnight, she fell asleep again.
In the early morning, when Mao Xi opened his eyes, a holographic image appeared in front of him:
*** Unlock cooking talents ***
She reached into the air and was about to touch it when the image disappeared.
"Talent in cooking?" Before time travel, although she was a food lover, she never cooked at home because her cooking skills were really bad!
After working for three years, my cooking skills are only limited to making instant noodles. The only thing I can cook well is a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds.
Mao Xi searched for ingredients in the kitchen, but found only half a basket of wild vegetables. The rice jar was bottomed out and the water jar was only half full of water.
Quickly search for memories in the original owner's mind.
Normally at this time, Mrs. Chen would go to the village to fetch water, cook for the whole family, and then go to the vegetable field to water the vegetables.
Chen has been ill for more than a month and has to take care of his younger sister Ajiao, so these tasks naturally fall on his older sister Miao Xi.
Not only did she have to fetch water for cooking and watering vegetables, but she also had to cook medicine for Chen and take her younger brother up the mountain to dig wild vegetables.
"Sister, I'm hungry!" Xiaodouzi held two eggs in his hand and looked at his sister: "Sister, these are the only two eggs left at home."
After taking the eggs, Mao Xi beat them into two bowls and beat them separately. He also found some flour, chopped the wild vegetables, and mixed them together.
Since conditions are limited, let’s make do with wild vegetable pancakes and wild vegetable soup.
The remaining half of wild vegetables, millet and eggs were mixed to make wild vegetable and egg soup.
There was a coughing sound from Chen's room, and Mao Xi brought a bowl of soup and a wild vegetable cake to her room.
"Mom, you eat first, and I'll feed Ajiao."
As soon as Ah Jiao learned to walk, Mao Xi took her out of the room and fed her one bite at a time.
After the sensible Xiaodouzi finished eating, he squatted by the medicine stove, added wood, and boiled the medicine for his mother-in-law.
After feeding Ajiao, he sent her back to Chen's room and told Xiaodouzi to continue cooking medicine. Mao Xi went to the well to fetch water on a pole.
There was only one well in the village. Beside the ancestral hall, Mao Xi put down the big bucket and skillfully turned the windlass.
Before traveling through time, she had seen pictures of windlass in the museum.
I never thought that this ancient water-drawing tool would be so easy to use. God has been so kind to me!
Mao Xi hummed a little tune, cheerfully, and filled two buckets of water in an instant.
Wei Wei mentions it, but she never thought it would be so easy. It seems that the original owner does a lot of farm work.
In front of the ancestral hall, the road paved with river stones was uneven. Mao Xi carried two buckets of water on a pole and moved forward steadily.
Before taking two steps, I met my neighbor Chun Sheng who came to fetch water.
Miao Xi vaguely remembered that it was Chun Sheng who was called by his younger brother last night and carried him back home.
"Ah Shao, your body?" Chun Sheng clearly remembered that when he brought Ah Shao back to her home from the river last night, he was already dying.
Hearing Aunt Chen's family sobbing to Ah Miao for half the night, he tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
Chun Sheng put his belongings at the entrance of the ancestral hall, grabbed Ah Miao's pole, carried it home for her, and filled the water tank.
"Brother Chunsheng, thank you!"
"Ah Shu, just be fine. If you need anything, call me!" Chunsheng said and went about his business.
"Xiaodouzi, go boil another pot of water." Mao Xi called his younger brother Zian's nickname. Xiaodouzi was a good helper. He had just poured the medicine into the bowl.
Send the medicine to Mrs. Chen and wait until she drinks it before she feels relieved.
"Cough...cough..." Mrs. Chen was about to speak, but she kept coughing again.
Stepping forward and patting Ms. Chen's back, Shui Xi helped her lie down: "Mom, you lie down first."
.
Last night, in the county government office of Kaitang County.
On a dark and windy night, a masked man dressed all in black jumped on the rafters.
The masked man lifted up the tiles on the beam to spy.
The county magistrate sat upright and served tea to the important person in front of him with great respect.
"The superiors will come to investigate in a few days. Are you ready?" The deep male voice was full of intimidation.
"Sir, please take a look!" After saying this, he handed over two dark green booklets.
"This matter is of great importance. If you do it well, you will be rich and prosperous. Otherwise, be careful about the head on your neck!"
"Okay, sir!" The magistrate said cautiously and smiled flatteringly.
The masked man lowered his head to investigate and saw a person wearing a black cloak with a hood covering his head. He had an unknown figure and was studying the book in his hand.
"Who is it?" Hearing the sound, the guard beside the black cloak flew a dart towards the roof, hitting the masked man in the left shoulder.
The masked man was as agile as flying. He jumped over the wall and flew out, but the guards did not catch up.
"Sir, I've lost track of you!"
"Check it out for me!"
"Yes!"
Black Cloak put away one of the volumes, leaving the other, and sternly warned: "Do you know what to do next?"
"Little understands."
