Chapter 1: Traveling to the Year of Famine



Spring of the 28th year in Shunde.

It was only the beginning of the morning, but the sun high in the sky was already baking the earth, and the leaves that had just sprouted from the spring trees were drooping.

It's only the end of April, and this year's high fever seems to have come a little early.

Moreover, many places in the west of the Wei Kingdom have not seen a drop of water since the beginning of winter. Not to mention whether the people can bear the scorching heat, the crops in the fields have already almost collapsed.

However, no matter how hot the weather is, it can't stop the village women from gossiping.

Look, under the blazing sun, several women are standing in a huddle in the shadow cast by the wall and the corner of the house.

"Chunhua's mother, have you heard that the girl from the Shen family jumped into the river!" A woman in a dark gray patched dress said in a low voice.

"What's going on? Which girl from the Shen family?!" the woman called Chunhua's mother asked in surprise.

"Who else could it be? The precious baby from Mr. Shen's family in our village." Another woman with drooping eyes spoke up.

There was only one scholar with the surname Shen in Shenjia Village. After she said this, everyone naturally knew who it was.

"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, how come I don't know about this big thing?" Chunhua's mother urged, slapping her thigh.

The woman with drooping eyes curled her lips and said, "It happened this afternoon. It was Chunyan who saw it and called for help to rescue her."

"You said that the girl from the Shen family jumped into the river, maybe because of the scholar from the Wang family." The woman in the dark gray patched dress said again.

This was a shocking statement, and the women all fell silent. Everyone knew that the scholar from the Wang family had gotten engaged to the daughter of a wealthy family in the town a few days ago.

And Shen Yu'an, who was at the center of the topic, was sitting on the bed rubbing his temple with a confused look on his face.

She is not dead? ! !

Shen Yu'an was originally a supernatural being from the 23rd century. She was on her way to vacation, but she encountered something unexpected. She was shot twice while trying to save others. She remembered that the bullet clearly penetrated her heart. How come it appeared here again now?

In the 23rd century, people with special abilities have become the top combat force in the future world. While enjoying a comfortable life, they also bear the responsibility of performing special tasks for the country. Shen Yu'an is such a person with special abilities.

But not only did she not die, she also appeared in this strange place. Was she kidnapped?

Shen Yu'an moved her hands and feet and found that there was no problem. Before she got out of bed to check the situation, the door was pushed open from the outside to the inside, and a woman with an apron tied around her waist walked in. The woman saw Shen Yu'an sitting on the bed with a frown, and her face lit up.

"You're finally awake, girl! You're so scary!"

The moment the woman started to speak, a strange memory flooded into Shen Yu'an's mind.

Shen Yu'an accepted the memories very quickly and discovered that she had traveled through time. The owner of this body was a little girl with the same name as her, who had fallen into the water and died not long ago, and her soul had somehow come in.

The first thing Shen Yu'an was thankful for was that the owner of this body was not called Daya, Erya or something like that.

The woman in front of him was none other than the body's mother, Song. With a look of joy on her face, Song shouted out loudly, "Dad, tell mom quickly that the girl is awake."

Today is a day off, so Shen Yu'an's father, Shen Rong, as a teacher, does not need to go to town.

There was a crackling sound coming from outside, and soon the small room was full of people. Some people even stood on tiptoe outside the door to look inside because there was no room inside.

Shen Yu'an was ashamed. This Shen family... is really prosperous!

Old Lady Shen, one of the patriarchs of the Shen family, squeezed into the position closest to Shen Yu'an as soon as she came in. When she saw Shen Yu'an sitting on the bed, she slapped her on the back.

Shen Yu'an was caught off guard and was hit by a palm. When he was about to fall forward, he was quickly pulled back by Old Lady Shen.

“Girl, how could you be so desperate as to jump into the river? Even if the water level of the river dropped, it would still be twice as high as you. How dare you jump in?” Old Lady Shen became more and more angry as she spoke. She wanted to slap her again, but when she saw Shen Yu’an’s pale face, she stopped herself.

The river that Old Lady Shen was talking about was the one at the foot of the Damang Mountain. However, because it hadn't rained for such a long time, it was not that deep. It was just that Shen Yu'an didn't fall into the water suddenly and choked in the water and died.

When Zhao, the second daughter-in-law of the Shen family, saw that her mother-in-law had stopped talking, she asked what she wanted to say: "Girl, did you jump into the river because of Mr. Wang?"

Zhao had just gone to the river to wash clothes and heard the gossiping women in the village say this. When she said this, everyone in the room was shocked, and Shen Yu'an also spent a long time trying to recall who this Mr. Wang was.

Fortunately, Shen Yu'an finally knew who Wang Xiucai was. Thinking of the reason why she fell into the water today, she felt cold and wanted to explain: "I didn't..."

As soon as Shen Yu'an finished speaking, he heard another noise coming from outside.

"Why are you all standing here? Maybe something happened to your girl." A woman's sarcastic voice came.

I only heard her continue, "My Chunyan is worried about that girl and said she wants to come and see her. Please move aside."

After hearing this, the people in the room became so angry that they lost their minds. Song, who was standing next to Old Lady Shen, picked up the broom leaning against the wall and hit the woman who had just squeezed in with it.

The slightly plump woman who squeezed in was beaten by Song and screamed. She ran around the room, cursing Shen Yu'an continuously.

Song hit them even harder, and everyone in the Shen family quickly moved away to allow Song to hit them a few more times.

Shen Yu'an saw that the pretty girl who came in with the plump woman was Lin Chunyan, whose memory pushed her into the water. The plump woman was Lin Chunyan's mother, Ma.

After being repeatedly beaten by Song, Ma ran out of the house in a panic. As a result, she tripped over the door railing and her fat body rolled in the yard, falling on a pile of chicken shit in the yard.

Lin Chunyan was in the room and said with an unhappy face: "Sister An'an, my mother and I came to see you, how could we let your mother beat someone up as soon as we arrived?"

Shen Yu'an sneered and asked, "Does that mean we can fight later?"

Lin Chunyan was stunned. When she realized that Shen Yu'an had picked out the loopholes in her words and refuted her, she felt unhappy and thought that Shen Yu'an seemed like a different person.

Just as she was about to say a few more words to Shen Yu'an, she heard Ma's shrill scream coming from the yard outside. She glared at Shen Yu'an and hurried out.

Shen Yu'an sneered in her heart. Lin Chunyan pushed her into the water, but now she is so confident when facing her. What gives her the confidence?

She would not show any mercy to her, but looking at the fighting power of the Shen family, it seemed that there was no need for her to do anything.

Shen Yu'an got out of bed, put on his shoes, and planned to go out to see what was going on.
