"What did you say? A deity enlightened you?" Luo Taohua's voice was as shrill as a rooster's crow. "How could a deity enlighten you?"
If anyone's going to be enlightened, it should be her! Enlightening that good-for-nothing is just incredibly blind of the gods!
Zhou Qiongniang also straightened her clothes and straightened her back, clearly feeling that she deserved more attention from the gods and that if anyone was to be enlightened, it should be her.
Although the other members of the Lu family did not show it as obviously as the two, the meaning conveyed by their eyes and actions was similar.
I don't think it's possible that a deity would choose Jiang Tangtang for enlightenment.
Jiang Tangtang shrugged indifferently, not even bothering to waste a single drop of saliva this time.
Believe it or not.
Her demeanor, as seen by the Lu family, conveyed a sense of confident disdain. Madam Su asked tentatively, "Third daughter-in-law, did the deity say when it would rain?"
"It won't rain this year." Not only will it not rain this year, but there will be a locust plague next year, and a man-made disaster the year after...
These are all standard tropes in farming novels. The more miserable the protagonist's life is, the more hardships they have to endure, the more compelling the story becomes, and the more readers will flock to it.
Normally, she might lie on the sofa, drinking milk tea and eating snacks, enjoying the protagonist's tragic life while criticizing a certain character, and incidentally cursing the author for being inhuman.
Unfortunately, she has now transmigrated into this clichéd famine escape novel.
The expressions on the faces of the Lu family men changed several times, and they all saw heaviness and surprise in each other's eyes.
"Are you serious? Really, it won't rain this year?" Mrs. Su suddenly sat down on the ground, clutching her chest and crying, "This damned heavens! What are we going to do!"
Luo Taohua was also a little flustered, but she calmed down after a moment and angrily pointed at Jiang Tangtang, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, how could that be!"
Jiang Tangtang glanced at her lazily, "Whether it's nonsense or not, you'll find out soon enough."
"Alright! Stop crying, everyone. Listen to the third son's wife, head southwest and go get a doctor for the third son."
Old Man Lu gave Jiang Tangtang a heavy look, then turned to his other two sons and daughters-in-law and said, "It seems that the immortal's willingness to enlighten Sanlang's wife is a way for our Lu family to survive. You two should listen to your third sister-in-law more in the future."
Luo Taohua's eyes widened in indignation. Why should she, as the eldest sister-in-law, listen to that good-for-nothing?
She opened her mouth to spew profanities, but before she could utter a sound, Lu Shiwang grabbed her arm.
Lu Shiwang glared at her warningly and said repeatedly, "Dad, don't worry, I understand. Third sister-in-law is our family's lucky star. From now on, we will all listen to her."
Lu Shiwang, representing the eldest branch of the family, expressed his stance, and Lu Shichang quickly pulled Zhou Qiongniang aside to express his own, saying that he would show more respect to Jiang Tangtang in the future.
Jiang Tangtang didn't care about the statements from the two families at all. In any case, she wouldn't let herself be wronged; if they wanted to cause trouble, she would deal with them as they pleased.
The oxcart set off again.
Along the way, whenever Lu Shiwang encountered a road he was unsure of, he would ask Jiang Tangtang for directions.
As always, Jiang Tangtang asked the system in her head, and then followed the system's prompts to give Lu Shiwang directions.
As darkness fell and they still hadn't found the doctor Jiang Tangtang had mentioned, Luo Taohua couldn't hold back any longer. She raised her voice and said, "Hey, Third Brother's wife, do you even know the way? You're sitting on the oxcart, aren't you tired? You just open your mouth and expect us all to run our legs off. We're all walking!"
Jiang Tangtang was speechless. Why did Luo Taohua talk so much nonsense? Her mouth was so dry that she didn't even want to say a single punctuation mark, yet she could still ramble on and on. Didn't she find it a waste of her breath?
“I can endure hardship and take unnecessary detours, but how can my children at home bear it?”
As Luo Taohua spoke, she glanced at Madam Su's expression, fearing that Madam Su might not be able to suppress Jiang Tangtang just because of her grandchildren. She added, "Of course, it's fine for the kids to walk around a bit and get tired, but I'm afraid it might delay Third Brother's treatment. Look at Third Brother's face, it's as white as a ghost."
"Does sister-in-law know how to get there? You can give us directions, and we'll follow your advice," Jiang Tangtang said to Luo Taohua.
Luo Taohua immediately felt like a chicken being choked.
Jiang Tangtang continued, "It's my sister-in-law who knows where there's food and water."
Luo Taohua stammered, "How would I know?"
"Since you don't know anything, you might as well save your breath," Jiang Tangtang said coldly. "Don't cause trouble for everyone."
Lu Shiwang glared at Luo Taohua with annoyance, "You talk too much!"
Jiang Tangtang continued to prop her head up to look at Lu Shiyan, ostensibly to take care of him, but actually she was dozing off.
Just as I was drifting off to sleep, a sudden "beep" sounded in my head, accompanied by the system's aloof voice: [Approaching target! Please prepare for the male lead's medical treatment.]
Jiang Tangtang's spirits immediately lifted; she was about to receive her reward. She wanted a whole case of Fillico chocolate, Alaskan king crab, Priest's Snow Beef, and a spicy and fragrant Chongqing hot pot...
system:【……】
It had to offer a rather disdainful reminder: "Please stop dreaming, host, and prepare for the male protagonist's medical treatment."
"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Tangtang asked, clearly displeased. "What about the promised reward?"
[The reward can only be claimed after the male protagonist successfully receives medical treatment.] The system stated: [Furthermore, given the host's current achievements, it's impossible for him to receive such a high-end reward as a product from outside this timeline.]
[So what can I get now?] Jiang Tangtang felt utterly hopeless. Without food, she'd rather be dead! Aaaaaahhhhhh!
No matter how distraught Jiang Tangtang was, the system reminded her again: [Please calm down, host, and prepare for the male lead's medical treatment.]
[He can see a doctor, so what preparations do I need to make?]
Jiang Tangtang rolled her eyes, but just as she finished, she felt the oxcart lurch violently, followed by Lu Shiwang's tense voice, "Father, there are robbers!"
Jiang Tangtang was exasperated, mentally berating the system: "Why didn't you say there were robbers sooner? Are you trying to get me killed and have me inherit my Alipay account?!"
[I've been reminding you, host, to prepare for the male lead's medical treatment.] The system is innocent.
[What kind of ridiculous reminder is that? This isn't a doctor, it's a robber!] Jiang Tangtang was furious and wished she could strangle this damn system, but unfortunately, this damn system had no substance, so she could only jump up and down in frustration.
[He's a robber, but also a doctor. Please resolve this crisis and persuade him to treat the male lead's injuries.] The system finished, then added in a rather cynical tone: [There's no such thing as a free lunch. Think about your reward.]
The Lu family members and the surrounding refugees clashed. Jiang Tangtang barely dodged a sickle attack, and angrily said, "Say something useful!"
Then, Jiang Tangtang heard a very poignant story.
This doctor's surname was Li Shi, and he was from Jiaoshi County. He was originally a kind and virtuous doctor. Even though he had fled famine with his family and his own life was not easy, he never forgot to save lives.
But this kind and virtuous doctor not only failed to receive good fortune, but was also robbed of his property by refugees and suffered the loss of his wife and children.
In utter despair, Li Shi also formed his own gang and began robbing refugees on the streets.
