So hungry! So thirsty! So painful!
In her confusion, Qin Qing felt as if she had just finished a marathon, her whole body aching, and she could hear a cacophony of crying and wailing in her ears…
"Waaah! Grandma..."
"Pah, you old bastard! You deserved to die!"
She was kicked hard in the waist, and the intense pain began to spread. She couldn't help but frown, and a sudden memory came flooding back.
A moment later, she suddenly opened her eyes, her face extremely pale!
Time traveled?! And we're still on the run from famine!
She is a doctor who collapsed from exhaustion after working overtime for three consecutive days following a multi-vehicle collision.
She woke up to find herself as Qin Lianhua, thirty-five years old. Her husband had died young, her two sons had joined the army, and her youngest son had gone missing. She was already unlucky enough.
Unexpectedly, the snow mountain collapsed two days ago, and the entire village was wiped out. The surviving villagers moved into a cave. In the entire village, only the original owner chose to take the only food in his family when the disaster struck, abandoning his grandson. Fortunately, his daughter-in-law Zhang He protected him with her life, and he escaped the disaster!
This attracted the covetous eyes of Wang Dazhuang, the village tyrant, who forcibly seized her grain. When she refused, he beat her to death on the spot, which led to Qin Qing's transmigration!
She opened her eyes despite the pain and saw Wang Dazhuang, who was seizing the grain, gleefully opening his cloth bag. Not far away, her daughter-in-law Zhang He and the children were tied up, their faces filled with despair.
Many of her fellow villagers sat nearby, yet not a single one offered a helping hand, coldly watching her tragic death! Even if their relationship was merely casual, their indifference was astounding.
The two little girls were overjoyed to see their grandmother, who had just been on the verge of death, suddenly stand up!
"Grandma!" "Grandma!"
Qin Qing looked at them; their tender little faces were covered in dust, their large, obsidian-like eyes shone brightly, clear and transparent, their eye rims were red, and tears and snot still clung to their mouths, making them look both pitiful and funny…
But she couldn't laugh. As a grandmother, the original owner of this body despised her granddaughters Mu Yue and Mu Xing as money-losing goods and was never kind to them. As a mother-in-law, she made things difficult for her eldest daughter-in-law at every turn, and even broke her thumb over an egg. How vicious her behavior was.
"Grandma's alright, Xingxing, Yueyue, don't cry!"
Hearing that she was alright, the two little girls were overjoyed, and Zhang He also breathed a sigh of relief. Only her eldest grandson, Mu Yang, pursed his lips and looked at her coldly.
Qin Qing supported herself as she walked over and untied the ropes. Since she was already there, she might as well make the best of it; she remained calm throughout.
But the rope was made of vines and tied in a tight knot; she couldn't untie it at all! Looking at the little girl's wrists, marked with red welts, she grew anxious. If only she still had her scalpel…
As she was thinking this, she suddenly felt a cool touch in her hand, and a sharp blade flashed. She was stunned, but she didn't have time to think and quickly cut the rope.
"Mother, are you alright?"
In response to Zhang He's concern, she nodded and turned her gaze to Wang Dazhuang and his mother, her brows furrowed.
"Wang Dazhuang! Give me back my grain!"
The old woman looked up when she heard the voice and looked at her with disdain.
"What do you mean 'return it to you'? It's ours now that it's in our hands!"
As she spoke, she took a big bite of the naan bread and looked at her smugly, while Wang Dazhuang buried his head in his food and ate without giving her a second glance.
Seeing this, Qin Qing's eyes turned cold as she looked around, quickly picked up a rock, and without saying a word, rushed over and smashed it hard on Wang Dazhuang's head!
"Bang! Ah!!"
The sound of the impact was followed by Wang Dazhuang's scream. Blood instantly soaked his collar. The old woman looked at Qin Qing in shock, unable to believe that the old lady Mu, who had always bullied the weak and feared the strong, actually had this courage!
The villagers who heard the noise turned around and saw Wang Dazhuang, who had been so arrogant just moments before, clutching his head and howling wildly. Wang Da Niang finally realized what was happening and started cursing at Qin Qing.
"You son of a bitch! How dare you hurt my son?"
She thought that Old Madam Mu was just provoked for a moment and was sure that she wouldn't dare to do it again, so she kept swearing!
Qin Qing didn't back down at all. Trying to play games with her? She immediately put her hands on her hips, exuding an imposing aura! Her eyes widened in anger as she shouted!
"You're the one who's a xxx, your whole family is a xxx! You think you're in the right for stealing my grain? Have you no shame? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill someone? I'm going all out today, whoever dares to steal my grain, I'll kill their whole family!"
She knew exactly how to deal with this kind of bizarre person with such distorted values; after all, she had seen hospitals extort money from patients before.
After a furious retort, the entire room fell silent. Everyone stared at her as if they had seen a ghost. Old Mrs. Wang's hands trembled as she opened her mouth wide, and Wang Dazhuang, who was standing next to her, was also stunned!
The three little ones behind her looked at her in surprise. Xiao Muxing and Muyue were full of admiration. "Grandma is so amazing!" Muyang just stared at her blankly. "Grandma seems to be different in some way."
Qin Qing reached out and snatched the cloth bag back. Wang Dazhuang finally came to his senses and pounced on her like a madman, grabbing her by the neck.
"You old bastard! You dare hit me? I'll kill your whole family first!"
Already weak and hungry, she had no time to escape before her neck was gripped tightly, making it difficult for her to even breathe.
Damn it! To avoid being discovered by others, the original owner of this body ate very little food, so she had no extra strength at all.
Seeing her face turn blue, Zhang He rushed over to stop her, but was kicked away by Wang Dazhuang. The surrounding villagers still watched coldly. The feeling of suffocation made Qin Qing's mind go blank. She struggled desperately with her hands, but to no avail.
Wang Dazhuang's bloodshot eyes and blood-covered face were the last things she saw before she lost consciousness.
"Wow... Grandma, let go of Grandma! You're a bad person! You're a big bad guy!"
"Let go of Grandma! You big bad guy, go ahead and hit the stars if you dare! The stars aren't afraid of you!"
Two innocent, desperate sobs reached his ears. The little girl was pushing Wang Dazhuang away with all her might, tears streaming down her face.
A bitter feeling welled up inside her, and for some reason, she felt a pang of heartache.
Perhaps Wang Dazhuang was annoyed, so he freed one hand to push the little girl away, which gave Qin Qing a chance to catch her breath. She clenched her fist, and the icy touch returned. Without saying a word, she directly slashed across Wang Dazhuang's chin!
"hiss!"
The sharp blade slashed Wang Dazhuang's face, leaving a bloody mark that stretched from the corner of his right eye to his chin, diagonally across his entire face.
"Ouch! That hurts, my face!!"
The excruciating pain made Wang Dazhuang immediately release his grip, cover his face, and wail in agony!
Qin Qing collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, and for the first time felt that being alive was truly wonderful.
After the pain subsided somewhat, she raised her hand and looked at the blood-soaked scalpel. A look of excitement flashed in her eyes. This was the scalpel given to her by her mentor, and it had traveled through time with her.
The next second, she seemed to see something, and she became excited. She vaguely saw familiar furniture and appliances, and her house seemed to have traveled through time with her.
It was as if a poor person had won a hundred million in the lottery; she almost couldn't help but burst into laughter!
