Chapter 1: Exiled 3,000 Miles, Binding to Shennong System at the Beginning
"Scholars are so pedantic. This woman has already stepped half a foot into the gates of hell. Even the gods can't do anything about it. She actually really believed that I could save her and even went out to borrow money. Well, I'll just accept it with reluctance. Anyway, I won't run into her again in the future."
A sinister voice came into Lin Xi's ears.
Who is speaking?
Lin Xi moved her eyelids and opened them with great effort, and saw a thin man sitting beside her bed, smiling with ill intent.
Looking around again, there were wooden beams, mud walls, and the smell of decay filled her nostrils. It seemed that there were no such shabby houses in modern rural areas. What the hell was this place? Shouldn't she be in a meeting?
“Hmm…”
When Wang Erma heard the sound, he subconsciously glanced towards the bed. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but when he did, he was so scared that he almost jumped off the chair. The man was barely breathing and was clearly dying, so how could he open his eyes now!
It’s a last hurrah, it must be a last hurrah!
Lin Xi frowned, and countless memories suddenly flooded into her mind.
She was originally a middle-level leader in a multinational company. When she was attending a meeting abroad, an earthquake occurred. As there was no one to direct the evacuation, the crowd panicked and a stampede occurred. Unfortunately, Lin Xi was one of the unlucky people who were trampled.
The girl she traveled through time to had the same name and surname as her. She was the youngest daughter of the Lin family in the capital, a legitimate daughter, and had been loved since childhood.
When discussing marriage, the Lin family picked and chose, and finally chose Xiao Yongyan, the son of the Regent.
Less than a month after their marriage, the emperor found a reason to throw the regent into the Heavenly Prison, and his son was sentenced to exile three thousand miles away. Naturally, the unfortunate Lin Xi was exiled as well.
Not to mention the bitterness and helplessness during the exile, after arriving at the place, the head of Taoli Village only arranged a shabby hut for them and nothing else.
As soon as they moved into the thatched hut, Lin Xi's health could no longer hold up, and Xiao Yongyan was very anxious. As luck would have it, a wandering doctor came to Taoli Village, and Xiao Yongyan invited him to treat him.
While Lin Xi was sorting out his memories, Xiao Yongyan came in from outside, holding a pile of copper coins in his hand, and said anxiously, "Doctor, I have borrowed money, you must save my wife."
Wang Erma saw someone coming in and said quickly, "Your wife's condition has improved. From now on, take one pill I give you every day and she will recover."
Xiao Yongyan's face lit up with joy and he handed all the copper coins to Wang Erma.
As soon as he got the copper coins, Wang Erma knew that it was a considerable amount. But compared to this, he was more afraid that Lin Xi would not be able to hold on for a while and the man would cause trouble for him.
"Well, there are other patients waiting for me. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, Wang Erma got ready to run away.
"Wait." Lin Xi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke.
Wang Erma was startled, laughed dryly twice, turned around and said to Lin Xi, "Don't worry, young lady. Your ancestors were virtuous and you are blessed with a long life. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will be fine."
Lin Xi sneered. The original owner had actually passed away. The one in this body now was Lin Xi from the 21st century, without any credit from her, a wandering doctor.
"Doctor, may I ask what illness I have and how you saved me? I have read a few medical books and would like to discuss it with you." Lin Xi blinked and stared at Wang Erma.
In fact, she had never read any medical books and she said that just to scare the other party.
Wang Erma's face froze instantly, and he started talking about this and that and avoiding the topic.
"When I was unconscious just now, didn't you say that you had no ability to save me? If that's the case, how can you have the nerve to charge us for medical treatment?" Lin Xi said.
Wang Erma didn't expect that Lin Xi had heard what he said just now. His eyes rolled around and he laughed evilly, "Young lady must be confused. How could I say such a thing?"
"My wife is kind-hearted and never talks nonsense. Doctor, please be careful with your words." Xiao Yongyan frowned and stood on Lin Xi's side without hesitation.
Lin Xi was a workaholic in her previous life. She had been single for thirty years. Suddenly, she felt warm in her heart when someone protected her like this.
"Well, I worked so hard to treat the patient, but you don't want to pay for the consultation fee." Wang Erma took two steps back, "Are you two teaming up to plot against me?"
As he spoke, he backed away, clearly trying to escape.
"Husband, stop him!" Lin Xi shouted.
Xiao Yongyan was quick-witted and grabbed Wang Erma who was about to escape. He was not a fool. Wang Erma's reaction clearly showed that he had something to hide. He was too anxious at the time and was deceived by this quack doctor.
"Return the consultation fee, or I will beat you up and throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves!" Lin Xi threatened fiercely, "We were exiled three thousand miles away, and we had to face many dangers along the way. Now we are not afraid of death. Do you think we can't deal with a liar like you?"
Wang Erma looked at Xiao Yongyan's ferocious expression, which looked like a Shura from hell. His survival instinct told him that what Lin Xi said was probably true.
"No, can't I just return them all to you?" Wang Erma's hand trembled, and all the copper coins fell to the ground. Seeing this, Xiao Yongyan let go of his hand.
"But don't be happy too soon. If you are exiled here, you have to pay ten stone of grain to the government every year. No one who came here before could do it, and they were all beaten to death." After Wang Erma said this, he immediately slipped away.
Ten stone of grain? Lin Xi looked at Xiao Yongyan with an inquiring look. Xiao Yongyan sighed and nodded, tacitly agreeing with Wang Erma's statement.
"It seems that the village head didn't allocate any land to us." Lin Xi asked.
Xiao Yongyan shook his head, "The head of the village said that all the wasteland in the back mountain can be reclaimed."
Lin Xi was silent. There were only two people in the family. It was true that Xiao Yongyan was a grown man, but he was also a nobleman in Beijing before. He had never done farm work.
Isn’t it said that time travelers have golden fingers? Where is her golden finger?

[1%…26%…48%…85%…100%]
[The system is binding to the host]
【Binding successful! 】
[Give the host 10 experience points for the first binding]
The cold mechanical prompt sounded in Lin Xi's ears, like the sound of nature.
[The Shennong system includes three major sections: plants, animals, and minerals]
[Currently open plant section]
[The main functions of the plant section include plant search, soil testing, variety improvement, nutrient solution production, etc.]
While the system was being introduced, Lin Xi's stomach growled; she was hungry.
"I'll go find you something to eat." Hearing Lin Xi's stomach growling, Xiao Yongyan raised his foot and prepared to go out.
[The system has opened the plant search function in the plant section. Do you want to spend 1 experience point to use it? ]
Looking at the only lit "Search" button on the panel, Lin Xi pressed it without thinking.
[Successfully paid 1 experience point]
[A comprehensive search for plants within a one-kilometer radius is underway]
In front of Lin Xi's eyes, a scene full of technology appeared, and all the plants around him were marked with their names and introductions.
[Tip: Discover the edible plant Amaranthus]
According to the system's markings, the place where the Amaranthus grows is in her backyard.
Soon after, Xiao Yongyan saw Lin Xi squatting in front of a clump of weeds and picking them. In a blink of an eye, there was a pile. He was so useless that he made his wife so hungry that she had to eat weeds.
