Chapter 147 If Line: Yan Chongzhou Chapter 1

On the 12th day of fleeing famine, Mingyue fainted from hunger on a narrow path.

She was fed some sugar water by the kind-hearted Aunt Zhou and finally came to her senses.

When he saw that he was still on the road to escape famine, he closed his eyes and wished he could pull out his belt and hang himself.

Before traveling through time, Mingyue had just celebrated her 19th birthday.

It was a hot July day and she went on a mountain climbing trip with her friends when the cable car had an accident.

She opened her eyes and found herself lying on a muddy dirt road in the mountains.

Before she could react, a group of ancient people surrounded her and asked her where she had escaped from.

Some people also said: "Whose girl is this? Her clothes are cut like this, her arms and legs are exposed..."

"Such a fair and tender face, such a beautiful face... maybe she got caught by bandits... So pitiful..."

Mingyue: Ah?

Mingyue, who had automatically learned another language in her mind, quickly understood her situation:

She traveled to an ancient alien world - the Great Zhou Kingdom.

The Central Plains has been experiencing drought for several months, and coupled with the division among the feudal lords, the war continues.

The game starts with a sky-fall, and the first thing you do when you travel through time is to escape from famine and survive.

Although Mingyue said she didn't want to live anymore, she knew in her heart:

I am wearing a body, so if I really die, this body will most likely die too.

--

Mingyue followed the kind Aunt Zhou and her family slowly on their journey.

Aunt Zhou's husband is Zhang Daniu, and they have a 6-year-old daughter, Xiaochun.

Mingyue followed them from Anning Town in the Great Zhou Kingdom and headed south.

People fleeing famine wanted to find a place where there was no plague, where it would not rain for months, and where they could work and have enough food.

Everyone said that there was no war in the south, that there were mountains and the sea, and that when there was no farming, one could catch some seafood in exchange for food.

So everyone prepared to flee to the southernmost part.

As they marched on, the large group was reduced to a small group.

Ten more days of miserable escape from famine passed.

Mingyue's originally C cup breasts have now become A cup, and her limbs are almost devoid of flesh.

The blisters on his feet burst and dried up, and the tender flesh was worn into calluses.

Every morning when I wake up, the thought of walking all the way to the coastal city makes my vision darker and darker.

I'm not exaggerating, I was so hungry that I felt dizzy.

In the past few days, as we got closer to the turbulent town, the sound of muskets seemed to be bombarding from the other side of the mountain.

Walking in the mountains was fine for the first half month. Mingyue felt that she could persevere no matter how difficult it was.

But once we left Anning Town and arrived at the next town, Fenghe, we found that the situation was even worse.

There is no shortage of water resources here.

Because there is a wide Feng River running through the three cities, the people will not die of thirst even if there is no rain for several months.

But there is a shortage of food and fruits and vegetables here.

The people could only catch fish to eat because all the wild vegetables had been dug up and they couldn't farm because of the drought.

Coarse grain steamed buns and corn grits, which were once the food of poor families, have become luxuries for people with a little money.

Not to mention the poor who are suffering even more.

Many have died of starvation, disease...

Mingyue and Aunt Zhou's family lived in the dilapidated temple for three days and ate stale dried fish for three days.

Aunt Zhou gave the last piece of the only brown sugar she brought from her hometown to Xiaochun this morning because he had a stomachache.

From today on, the four of them had nothing on them.

Mingyue, who had seen so many dead people along the way, felt completely heartbroken and a cold fear rose from under her feet.

The physical pain was bearable, but what caused her psychological pain was ---

Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhang want to sell her.

--

Last night in the middle of the night, Mingyue got up to urinate and heard Uncle Zhang whispering with a man.

Mingyue was squatting outside the wall to relieve herself and vaguely heard everything:

It turned out that many people along the way mistakenly thought that Mingyue was Uncle Zhang's eldest daughter.

Someone had already asked Uncle Zhang whether he would sell his daughter.

Uncle Zhang refused at first, but accepted it today.

Because this person gave so much today.

Although Mingyue is malnourished and very thin, her skin is tender and fair, her facial features are delicate and small, and her smile is sweet.

The person who came to see Uncle Zhang was the human trafficker who had been traveling with them for ten days.

He stated his purpose directly: to sell Mingyue to the son of a wealthy businessman as a daughter-in-law.

How could such a good opportunity be found among the refugees? Uncle Zhang asked doubtfully.

The human trafficker did not hide the fact and said that the rich businessman's son was already 29 years old this year.

For the first 29 years, he was stupid and foolish, and was out of his mind. He was either in a daze or violently attacking people.

He is very handsome, with an outstanding appearance that is one in a million, even more handsome than Pan An.

But because of his stupidity and unusually tall stature, he became ferocious and fierce when he became ill. When he went crazy, he could beat someone to death with one punch!

This big fool is famous in the surrounding area, and no daughter from a good family is willing to marry him.

When the man was 20 years old, a man came to his door to sell his daughter.

But on the night the girl got married, she was frightened to death by the man's hideous look.

The next day she instigated a servant to steal something and ran away.

Now that the rich businessman's wife has passed away, his health is failing.

As the war continued, most of the family's property was looted.

Unexpectedly, the rich businessman’s son fell and broke the back of his head one day, and three months ago, he miraculously "woke up"!

The rich businessman was overjoyed, but his son became even more taciturn after waking up, and his cold face was even more frightening than before.

The most important thing is that the power of his punch is more terrifying than before.

What worries the rich businessman the most is that his son is unwilling to get married and have children.

So he thought of buying a beautiful girl to marry this big, stupid guy who was almost 30 years old.

When the time comes, the old man will use threats, inducements and pretend to be pitiful to let his son have the bridal chamber.

Once people know the advantages of women, they will naturally be willing to continue the family line.

Mingyue is the person the human trafficker observed for ten days and finally decided to choose after comprehensive comparison.

The trafficker asked Uncle Zhang: "Did your girl agree after you talked to her?"

Uncle Zhang nodded. "My wife saved her because she was pretty. She wanted to find a good family for her in the future so she could earn some money as a gift."

"She has lost her memory and doesn't know who her parents are..."

"Don't worry, we've always treated her like our own daughter, raising her together with Xiaochun... Just treat her as my own daughter. No one will come to take you..."

After listening to the conversation, Mingyue was not angry, but felt depressed and uncomfortable.

Aunt Zhou saved her from hypoglycemia and shock, and later took special care of her.

Along the way, the couple treated her as well as they treated Xiaochun, and taught her many survival skills.

But now...

She understands, she knows.

She knew that poor families in that era would even sell their own daughters, let alone her, who was adopted.

Mingyue couldn't sleep the whole night.

Being the wife of a big fool... Haha, I don’t know whether it is lucky or unfortunate.

Mingyue could only comfort herself that at least he was rich, which was better than her dying of starvation or illness.

Sure enough, the next day, Aunt Zhou said happily:

"Yueyue, yesterday a master said he's interested in you as his daughter-in-law! That's great news! If Xiaochun wasn't so young..."

After laying the groundwork, Aunt Zhou held Mingyue's hand:

"He's a well-known wealthy businessman in Fenghe. His son is a bit old, but if you marry him, you'll be his wife and won't have to worry about food and drink... and you can have a son later..."

Aunt Zhou said a lot, and when she saw Mingyue was silent, she felt nervous.

Mingyue touched Xiaochun's thin face and saw her holding her stomach and crying out for hunger.

"Yes, auntie, I will marry you."

"Just keep the gift money and buy some bud candy for Xiaochun. It's getting cold, so buy thick cotton clothes for you all..."

Aunt Zhou was stunned and suddenly hugged Mingyue.

"It's you who's wronged me. I wanted to get through this together. When you get married, we'll be your natal family... We're the ones who've wronged you."

Uncle Zhang turned around with red eyes when he heard this.

Such a good family is looking for a girl from among the refugees. You can imagine how terrifying that big guy is.

A man who is still ignorant of the world at the age of 29 and has been stupid for half his life.

I heard that he was born with supernatural powers and once killed someone with a single punch.

What if I punch my wife?

I can't imagine what would happen if Mingyue got hit...

That's a life!

But they were helpless, Xiaochun's stomach was swollen, which was a sign that he was about to starve to death.

They have to buy some vegetables and some expensive rice and flour to survive!

Mingyue was held in Aunt Zhou's arms, and the warmth and gratitude of the past were no longer there.

There is only a coldness in my heart that feels like I have repaid a favor.

They also knew that if they sold her for money, she would most likely be abused by the "big fool" the trafficker mentioned.

Beating someone half to death or killing him with one punch is just a matter of thought.

They had no choice but to use her, an outsider, to exchange money for their lives. She could understand, but she would not forgive them.

Mingyue followed the human trafficker out of the dilapidated temple and touched the little girl's head.

"Xiaochun, starting tomorrow, you can eat hot steamed buns."

And she has to face a new world where life and death are uncertain.
