Now, it only takes one time travel to go from middle class to extreme poverty.

You deserve it!

The house he had brought with him into this chaotic world also had a bug. One day he ate a bag of potato chips, and the next day they reappeared on the coffee table. He cooked a bowl of rice and put it in the pot, and ate a plate of meat and vegetables from the refrigerator. The next day, the refrigerator and rice bucket still had the same amount.

However, the bottle of toilet water and medicated oil he used to treat mosquito bites due to the hot weather did not appear immediately. The medicated oil appeared after two days, and the toilet water after three days. The glass tea set he took from the cupboard in the room to pawn has not appeared yet.

He vaguely grasped the trick of using the house. The time when items appear is determined by the frequency of the owner's daily consumption. Potato chips, rice, meat and vegetables are what he eats almost every day, so the amount will return to its original size after four hours, which is equivalent to the time interval from breakfast to lunch and from lunch to dinner.

He would stock up on boxes of Fengyoujing every summer, as it was extremely effective in fighting mosquitoes and relieving itching.

He uses the floral water as his home aromatherapy. He opens the bottle cap, places a fragrance stick inside, and a simple, non-toxic, and pleasant-smelling aromatherapy bottle is ready. So, he doesn't have to worry about running out of the floral water and medicated oil he's stockpiling. After all, each bottle will be replenished on time and in the correct amount. The only downside is that the interval between uses is a bit long, at three to five days.

The glass tea set has never appeared because it is not used frequently, or it has never been used. Lin Rui never used it once after he exchanged it for it during an event at the business hall. It is possible that it will never appear again.

He has money lying around on the books, and he still has to provide for his parents in their old age! How is he going to deal with all this?

I want to cry but I have no tears.

Oh my God, can’t you stand a salted fish?

Wait, Lin Rui suddenly remembered that the clock in the living room had been stuck at 2:30 in the morning when he woke up, and the time displayed on the mobile phones and computers in the house was the same.

Or is it that the time in this space-time is moving normally, while the time in his space-time is stagnant?

Forget it, forget it. His head was buzzing with thought. The only house he could cheat in only had a half-hour safe period. After half an hour, what would he do? There were twelve hours in a day, twenty-four hours! What good would half an hour do?

We must find a way to survive in this chaotic ancient world!

Especially now that the imperial city of Linchao has been targeted by the barbarians on the grassland, and the emperor of Linchao is extremely weak, the fall of the imperial city is only a matter of time, so we have to make preparations early.

Run away! Run away as soon as possible! Lin Rui made up his mind. He couldn't let a living person die from holding his urine. He had to find a way to survive.

But in troubled times, human life is worthless. Just look at the beggars starving at the foot of the imperial city. They sign contracts to sell their bodies for a meal, their lives and deaths, beatings and scoldings all at the whim of their masters. They have no dignity or freedom at all. But in troubled times, just being alive is enough. Dignity and freedom seem ridiculous. I'd rather be a dog in peacetime than a human in troubled times.

Escaping famine is not an easy thing. If you wander around alone and can't find a safe place, you may be caught by hungry people who are starving to death as soon as you leave a relatively safe area. They will then bleed you and eat your meat.

It's no exaggeration. Lin Rui had heard of many such incidents when he was in the Imperial City and Longting Town. The common people were surprised when they first talked about it, but later they became numb.

This is also the reason why Lin Rui had to find an escort agency even though the distance from Longting to the Imperial City was less than a few kilometers. The world is too dangerous.

Even though there was an escort agency, it was robbed two or three times by starving people along the way. Fortunately, the escorts from the escort agency had extremely high martial arts skills, and they were well-fed and strong, so they fought to the death, which made the starving people feel pain and fear.

Oh God, please take a look at what you have done. You let a successor who was born under the red flag, grew up in the spring breeze, received nine years of compulsory education, and firmly supported materialism struggle to survive in troubled times. Is this reasonable?

The original body had a family that loved him. The original body was not a human being, but he was not. In addition, the chances of surviving alone were very slim, so he took the whole family along to have someone to take care of them along the way. It was like repaying the kindness and love of the original body for his upbringing.

Now that he had made the decision, he had to act quickly. He was in the imperial city, where everything was expensive. The coarse rice that sold for two hundred coins per catty in Longting Town was sold at a high price of five hundred coins here, and the supply was limited.

Lin Rui decided to go to Longting Town to buy it. He had to find a reliable escort company to escort him when leaving the imperial city. He now had a huge sum of 1,200 taels of silver on him.

After leaving the pawnshop, Lin Rui quickly ran towards the escort agency. The alley leading to the escort agency was a street of people. Most of the people on their hands were poor people who could not survive in the chaotic times and had run from their hometowns to the city to find a way to make a living by selling themselves. Lin Rui could hardly protect himself in the chaotic times, so how could he have the time and energy to sympathize with others? He just walked through the crowd and headed towards the escort agency. Most of the people who shopped in this alley were managers of wealthy families.

The cold weather, reduced grain production, continuous wars and the people's hunger had almost no impact on these powerful families. They still lived a luxurious life, and the cost of one meal could buy the food of dozens of poor people in the alley.

Suddenly, Lin Rui's arm was grabbed by a man with a mole on the corner of his mouth: "Sir, come and see the good stuff I have here. Unlike other families' dead goods that are hanging on until the owner dies, mine are very fresh."

The places he pointed to were all filled with skinny slaves with dull eyes.

"Oh, let me go!" Lin Rui struggled with his arms. He didn't expect that this mole-faced man was thin but very strong.

Seeing Lin Rui struggling, he smiled awkwardly and said, "My dear young master, since we've come to this slave market, it would be a waste of our trip if we don't choose one to go."

Lin Rui's mouth twitched. "Since you're already here? You were sightseeing at the tourist attractions!"

"I have a hard time supporting myself, how can I possibly feed another mouth?" Lin Rui waved his hand in refusal: "Let me go now, or don't blame me for hitting you!"

The young man pretended not to hear. There were too many people in the same lane, and each of them had more connections than him. He had spent a lot of money to transport these slaves to the imperial city, but he had not sold a single one yet. He was so anxious that he was almost angry.

Today I grabbed a young man passing by and told him to take one away, whether it worked or not. It's a taboo to not open a business.

"Young master, look at this girl. She has a big butt and is good at giving birth. You can buy her home to be a maid, a concubine, or a servant. You won't suffer any loss." The boy pulled Lin Rui and tried hard to sell her.

Lin Rui glanced at the skinny little girl with sparse hair, then turned to look at the mole boss: "Are you serious?"

Don't blame this guy for telling lies, just blame him for not being blind, otherwise he would have been deceived.

At this moment, a half-grown boy among the slaves knocked a big man standing beside him two meters away, and immediately ran to Lin Rui and knelt down: "Sir, please buy me. I can work, just give me something to eat."
