Daqing Dynasty, Lijia Village.
"Look, is this something a human would do? The Xiao couple treated her like their own daughter, but I didn't expect she was such a black-hearted person."
"That's right, listen to this crying, those children are probably going to get hurt." The villagers passing by talked a few words after hearing the noise coming from the Xiao family.
In the dark room, four kids shivered and stared at the woman lying on the ground.
"Brother, is she dead?" The third brother Xiao Jingyu looked at him timidly.
"I'll go over and take a look. Don't come over." The eldest brother Xiao Ce poked Lin Shuang with a stick in his hand.
Seeing that the person didn't move, he walked over and put his finger under his nose, and found that he had stopped breathing.
"She's dead, you don't have to be afraid."
Several kids cheered.
After being poked a few times, Lin Shuang felt a headache, and memories flooded back like a tide.
She died suddenly!
And traveled through time!
The original owner was a vicious stepmother who said one thing in public and another behind the scenes.
At the tender age of eighteen, she was drugged and sold by her uncle and aunt.
The original owner's father was a scholar, and the couple loved each other very much. They both died when the original owner was ten years old, leaving behind the original owner and her six-year-old brother.
My uncle's family occupied our family's property and fertile land on the pretext of taking care of them. They got up earlier than pigs and slept later than dogs every day.
After raising the child for eight years, the original owner's fortune was squandered, and they began to plot against the original owner. They drugged the child and sold him to a human being for three taels of silver.
After several twists and turns, she was bought by Xiao Yi to be the stepmother of four children.
But just one month after the marriage, Xiao Yi fell off a cliff while hunting in the mountains. When he was carried back, he was covered in blood and unconscious.
She lost her source of hunting and was laughed at for being unlucky. Unfortunately, her mother-in-law fell seriously ill. Her father-in-law took her to the county town for treatment. Before leaving, he entrusted Xiao Yi and the four children to her care for a while.
The family was extremely poor, and Lin Shuang could no longer hold back. All the grievances she had suffered at her uncle's house burst out, and she began to beat and scold her four stepchildren at home.
They were not given food to eat and had to work every day at a very young age. Whenever she was unhappy, she would take her anger out on her four children.
Just now, Xiao Jingyu broke a bowl while washing dishes and was beaten up.
He was kicked by Xiao Ce. There was water on the ground and he lost his balance, so he hit the back of his head and died.
After sorting out all the memories, Lin Shuang felt like dying!
He was a food blogger who died suddenly due to staying up late to live broadcast, and came to this fictional Daqing Dynasty.
He moved his body, sat up, touched the back of his head, and was almost scared to death on the spot, with blood on his hands.
The four children were startled and immediately huddled together.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" the brave second brother Xiao Wangshu asked in shock.
"Of course I am a human."
Seeing Lin Shuang stand up, Xiao Ce thought she was going to hit them again, so he immediately stood up and spread his arms to protect his younger brothers and sisters behind him.
Lin Shuang looked at the four little kids opposite her, who were dressed like beggars, with their clothes missing arms and legs, and were staring at her with murderous eyes.
Looking around, there were spider webs in the corners of the adobe house.
Before I could take a closer look, several strong men and an old woman dressed in fine cotton came over.
"Lin Shuang, I've brought the money. I'm going to take these kids away today. You guys take them away." He called out to the four strong men behind him.
The children cried and shouted as they saw several strong men coming over to catch them.
"Don't catch me, stepmother, don't sell me, I'm very good." The youngest Xiao Nanxin held Xiao Ce's hand tightly.
"Get away from me and don't touch my sister." Xiao Ce watched Xiao Nanxin being caught and hurriedly tried to pull him away.
There was chaos at the scene and Lin Shuang frowned.
"Stop it, I won't sell the child anymore."
"Lin Shuang, if you said you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it! Today, I will take those bastards away. What can you do to me?"
The woman who specialized in human trafficking had a dark face.
"You've already taken the deposit, and you still want to default on it. Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
When the strong men heard this, they went straight to grab the four children.
I was suddenly distracted and found that my space was still there. It was such a pleasant surprise that I grabbed a handful of drugs.
Lin Shuang simply sprinkled some medicinal powder, and several strong men fell to the ground.
"You, you, you killed someone!" Liu Pozi screamed in fear when she saw several people she brought with her fall to the ground.
"Humph, I didn't kill anyone. I just made them lose their strength temporarily. But if you still want to sell my child, then I will have no choice but to kill them. After all, there are only a few of us here."
Lin Shuang smiled after she finished speaking, but the blood stains on her face made her look creepy at the moment.
Mrs. Liu swallowed nervously a few times and trembled all over.
"Don't scare me, I'm not afraid of you."
"Really?" Lin Shuang ran behind Liu Pozi as fast as she could, holding a rusty kitchen knife against Liu Pozi's collar.
"You, please let me go. I won't sell myself anymore, okay?" Mrs. Liu had never been threatened like this before. Seeing that these useless people couldn't help her, she could only beg for mercy humbly.
I am greedy for money, but I don’t want to have money but no life to spend it.
Lin Shuang's kitchen knife scratched a bloody mark against her collar. "Then hurry up and get out of here while I'm in a good mood."
"Okay, I'll leave right away." Mrs. Liu ran faster than a rabbit.
The effect of the medicine wore off, and the four strong men looked at Lin Shuang in horror, then crawled out.
Lin Shuang fell to the ground feeling dizzy.
He struggled hard with a bloody head, but now he had no strength left to get up.
"Brother, what happened to her? Is she really dead now?"
"have no idea."
"Brother, let's take her life while she is sick." Xiao Wangshu directly picked up a stone in his hand.
He raised the stone and smashed it on the unconscious Lin Shuang's head.
Xiao Ce stared at Lin Shuang, struggled internally for a while, and made a decision after weighing the pros and cons.
"Second sister, no, daddy is in bed now, grandpa and grandma have gone to the county town for treatment, and we are still young and still need her." There was a seriousness on the little face that was not in line with her age.
"Okay then." Xiao Wangshu put down the stone in his hand.
The four children ignored Lin Shuang and ran to the inner room to see Xiao Yi.
"Ding! System binding successful, the system has entered treatment mode."
The wound on Lin Shuang's forehead began to heal gradually under the faint halo until it disappeared.
Lin Shuang slowly woke up and saw that the four children were no longer there, and there was a big stone on the ground.
"Tasker, I am the system. I have bound you. From now on, you need to complete the task."
"System? Could it be like what's described in the novels I read?"
"That's right. You livestream your sudden death at home. If you complete the task, you can go back to one hour before the sudden death."
