Jiang Tian was completely mesmerized.
The twin sisters walked up to Jiang Tian and respectfully bowed to him, saying, "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for saving us."
"Don't be shy. Oh, by the way, you were given to me by the Dragon King. You'll be with me today."
The two girls nodded repeatedly; they dared not utter a single word of dissent.
If it weren't for Jiang Tian.
The two little girls would be pushed off the cliff and smashed to pieces.
Li Feier and Li Xueer's parents came over.
They were all honest, simple farmers.
The elderly couple knelt down in front of Jiang Tian with a thud: "Dragon King, it is a blessing that our two daughters have earned through eight lifetimes of good deeds to have taken such a chance."
Jiang Tian shook his head: "It's not that the Dragon King has taken a liking to your two daughters. Rather, it's that the Dragon King has bestowed a good marriage upon your daughters."
"Gentlemen, please get up quickly." Jiang Tian stepped forward and helped the two girls' parents up.
In this day and age, women are expected to follow their husbands wherever they go, whether they marry a chicken or a dog.
Now that the Dragon King has bestowed this marriage upon them, how could these two young girls dare to disobey?
We arrived at the entrance of Peach Blossom Village.
Old Li shook his head and headed straight for his home, which was some distance away.
The mother of the twin sisters is holding their hands.
"Children, from now on you will live a good life with Jiang Tian."
"Who made us live in this chaotic world?"
"Your parents are incompetent and can't help you two."
"After you marry him, you must serve him well."
"If a man hits you or scolds you, you should not resist."
"Your parents are incompetent and have nothing to give you as a dowry. They also haven't prepared any jewelry for you."
"I'll try my best to give the Jiang family a son or daughter as soon as possible."
The two little girls nodded repeatedly.
"My daughters, come home and visit sometime when you have the chance." Madam Li then walked up to Jiang Tian. "Jiang Dalang, if my two daughters do anything wrong in the future, please be more lenient with them."
After saying that, Madam Li turned and left.
The twin sisters, Li Feier and Li Xueer, quickly caught up with them.
"You all need to go back right away."
"Don't make Dalang angry."
The twins nodded.
Watching the old woman's departing figure, Jiang Tian said, "You all come back with me first. I'll bring some food over tomorrow."
Li Feier and Li Xueer followed Jiang Tian obediently, heading straight for their family's three dilapidated thatched houses.
Upon arriving at Jiang Tian's home, the twin sisters let out a long sigh.
Jiang Tian's house was even more dilapidated than theirs.
The three dilapidated thatched houses occupied an area of
"Big Brother, we'll cook for you." Li Feier quickly went to the rice jar, and when she opened the lid, it was empty.
“This…” Li Feier rubbed her hands awkwardly.
"Big Brother, let us wash your clothes."
Jiang Tian was wearing only a piece of clothing that was covered in patches.
Besides the one piece of clothing he was wearing, there were no other clothes in the house.
Besides, where would we find water to wash clothes?
The two girls were extremely embarrassed when they saw Jiang Tian.
"Brother, how about we go dig up some wild vegetables to fill your stomach?"
In the outside world, let alone wild vegetables, even wild grass is rarely seen.
"You two sisters, just sit here properly, you don't need to sit on anything." Jiang Tian put his arm around the two girls' slender waists.
The house was bare. There wasn't even a place to sit.
If it weren't for the system, these two girls would have starved to death sooner or later.
The two girls blushed instantly as Jiang Tian put his arm around their waists.
Li Xue'er and Li Fei'er, the two young ladies, were infinitely shy.
In this day and age, a young girl's reserve is not something she can fake.
Her rosy cheeks looked incredibly cute.
Those cherry-like lips look so tempting, you can't help but want to taste them.
"Big brother, are we sisters just going to sit here like this?" The two little girls lowered their heads, their restless little hands fiddling with their clothes.
"Take a short rest, and we'll have dinner in a bit."
These two little girls are so pitiful.
Ever since they were chosen to be sacrificed to the Dragon King, these twin sisters have lived in constant fear.
It was clear that the two sisters looked extremely haggard.
"Eat?" the two sisters asked in unison, their faces full of confusion. "What are we eating? What kind of food do we have?"
"Eat flatbread, drink mutton soup, and eat roasted lamb leg."
As soon as the two little girls heard that there was so much delicious food, their stomachs started growling.
The Great Xia Dynasty has been suffering from drought for several years.
The people's homes had long since run out of surplus grain.
There used to be two wells in Peach Blossom Village.
However, after a prolonged drought, only one well remained.
This well is still a bitter water well.
This bitter well is located in the old village chief's house. Usually, if the villagers want to drink water, they have to be mindful of the village chief's family's wishes.
If you please the village chief, he might give you a couple of sips of bitter water.
If the village chief gets angry, there won't even be any water left to drink from the dried-up well.
Needless to say, eating is another matter.
The village chief is the biggest landlord in the area.
Apart from the village chief's family, who had surplus grain, everyone else in Peach Blossom Village had long since run out of food.
Similarly, if they wanted to barely make ends meet, they had to borrow money from the village chief.
After borrowing the grain, they had to work like oxen and horses for the village chief.
The villagers have suffered greatly just to have something to eat.
The twin sisters let out a long sigh.
Although Jiang Tian saved them, the two sisters believed they would starve to death sooner or later.
