"Sister, this red mole is pretty nice, like the goddess Guanyin." He realized something was wrong. These things weren't allowed anymore; they were feudal superstitions. "But why are you so clean all of a sudden?" Liu Daya had been living in a dilapidated temple since being driven out, and she'd been getting herself dirty ever since. Every time he saw her, he wanted to stay away. Today, when he saw her asking for food from the team leader again, he wanted to steal it from her.
Xia Youyou guessed it after hearing what he said. After being kicked out, her original body was a girl. Although there were crimes against hooligans in this era, it couldn't stop those bad guys. So she made herself dirty and smelly. In addition, she had tuberculosis, which was an infectious disease in that era, so no one dared to get close to her. After figuring out the situation, she ignored this cheap brother and turned away.
Liu Zhuzi chased after her for a few steps before stopping. After thinking for a while, he decided to run back home to find his mother. He had to tell her about this and the clothes she was wearing. They looked warm, so he had to ask her to get them back.
Xia Youyou made a rough outline, and the rest was pretty much predictable. It was the late 1970s, and she'd dug out a book and revisited the events of that era. So, the national college entrance exam was only a year away. In this era, the best path forward was probably to get into university, right? But this body was only sixteen. Her son-centric parents probably wouldn't have allowed her to go to school, right?
She rubbed her aching temples. Her mission was daunting! She was already 18 years old in 2220, taking online classes daily at the base and on the verge of graduating from college. Everyone here knew her background, and she couldn't suddenly claim she could read and take the college entrance exam. Even she found it absurd.
It seemed she had to leave, to a place where no one knew her. But from what she knew now, leaving wouldn't be that easy. She needed a letter of introduction, but where could she get one?
She pondered, then suddenly remembered the man who had given her the steamed buns. The team leader? He should be the boss of this production brigade. He'd be the right person to ask, right? There was no rush; this needed to be considered carefully. Also, where would she go after leaving here? What would she do? How would she go to school? The university entrance exam wouldn't start until next year. How would she survive now? Where would she live once she got there?
She scratched her hair in annoyance. She had always been in the base before and couldn't go anywhere. Why couldn't she go anywhere here either?
She should have found a map first!
She took out a pen and paper, listed her plan, looked it over, and then stood up and went to the team with satisfaction.
I knocked on the door first, and then pushed it open when I heard the sound. "Uncle, I have something to talk to you about."
Wang Cheng looked up and saw Liu Daya. He hadn't noticed her before, his mind full of the report. Now he took a closer look at the clean Liu Daya, and the red mole that had suddenly appeared on her forehead.
"Daya, what's wrong with your forehead? When did you get a mole?" And the clothes, he thought it was a monk's robe, but now it doesn't look like it.
"Oh, I just hit my head and got a scar." He couldn't explain it, or he'd be caught as a monster. Then he said, "Uncle, can I borrow your map? I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to go out and... beg for food."
Wang Cheng suddenly laughed. "What's the point of looking at a map if you can't read?" He sighed and continued, "Daya, your parents may be a bit of a jerk, but they're still your closest relatives. It's not easy for you to leave. Even we can't go anywhere without a letter of introduction, let alone a little girl like you who can't even read."
"Uncle, I know all this. But my parents don't want me anymore, and I've already died in the ruined temple." His original body was indeed dead. "Now I just want to get away from here. Uncle, please help me. I don't want money, but can you give me an ID and a letter of introduction?"
Wang Cheng's heart softened. This girl was truly pitiful. "Okay, I'll get you a map."
Xia Youyou was very grateful to this uncle. This was the first person she had met since she came to this world who had shown kindness to her. To be more precise, this was kindness to her original self. Her original self was so pitiful, dying of illness alone in a dilapidated temple.
Wang Cheng took out a map and spread it out on his desk to show her, "Daya, come over and see where you're going. We're here."
Xia Youyou looked at the place he pointed. This map was still the same one she had in 2220, just a little simpler. Her uncle pointed to Yuzhou, which later became Yubei.
So she was now not far from the capital. However, with the current means of transportation, it was still very far away. She thought seriously that if she went to the capital now, she would definitely be arrested as a refugee. So she had to find a place to settle down first, and only with a new identity could she enter the capital smoothly.
"Uncle, please give me a letter of introduction. I want to go to Bao City." It is only about a hundred kilometers away from the capital, which is very convenient for going to the capital, but it is not good if it is too close.
Wang Cheng quickly wrote her a letter of introduction and tore off a few blank sheets for her. Knowing it was difficult to travel outside these days, he stamped them and handed them to her. "Child, I can only help you so far. Be careful out there. You can't write, so if you need a letter of introduction, find someone you trust to write it. Don't get scammed!"
Xia Youyou's thin face was completely sunken, and she stared at the letter of introduction he handed over with wide eyes. She thanked him sincerely again, "Uncle, thank you. I will repay you when I come back!"
She put the letter of introduction into her arms, actually putting it directly into the space. Turning around and going out, she saw her adopted brother at the door, and next to him was a middle-aged woman who looked sarcastic.
"You little bastard, give your clothes to your brother. He's cold, it's going to snow soon, and he has nothing to wear." The woman scolded her in a shrill voice. "You're begging outside, and you don't even bring back food for us. You're eating all by yourself."
Xia Youyou laughed coldly, "Oh, who do you think you are? Just give it to me if you ask me to?"
"I'm your mother. How can you talk to your mother like that?" The woman rushed over and was about to slap her.
Xia Youyou dodged her and slapped her back. The woman fell to the ground. "How can I have a mother? Am I not a bastard? Don't you know who you gave birth to this bastard?"
Zhang Yun was knocked to the ground, her ears tinnitus rising, and she began to scream loudly in guilt. When did this cheap daughter become so strong? "Someone, come here, my daughter is going to kill someone, she's actually hitting her own mother!"
Xia Youyou stepped over her, picked up a stick from the ground, and hit her hard. She hit her several times until the stick broke, then she stopped. "I hit you because I died in the ruined temple. Now I have no parents and I am alone. I am not afraid of anything. If you mess with me again, I will trade my life for yours!"
