Chapter 1

A woman was lying in the corner of a low wall.

Her eyes were closed, and there was a cut on her forehead. Thick blood flowed from her eyebrows to her chin. Her fingers, which were hanging powerlessly in the mud, moved. When she gradually regained consciousness, the pain from the wound also pierced into her brain along with the nerves.

Jiang Nian woke up in pain.

She opened her eyes, her messy hair blocked her vision, and her left bangs were stained with blood, which stuck to her eyelids. She could only squint her other eye to see what was happening.

It was pitch black, and her vision was poor. She could only see the outline of the yard from the tiny light, the uneven dirt ground, and a row of old-fashioned adobe houses to the east. The doors were wooden, and next to the doors were iron shovels, hoes, and single-wheeled carts. On the ropes in the yard hung a gray shirt and a white printed vest that only old ladies wear. A strong sense of age came over her.

Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment.

She fell asleep after reading, so how could she appear here in the blink of an eye?

Before she could think about it, she heard two people talking next to her.

"Dead?"

"Is she really dead?!"

The person who spoke was Li Niu from the village. He looked at the woman with blood all over her face, swallowed fearfully, and was pushed by his companion Liu Fu: "If you don't believe me, go touch her and see if she's dead."

Li Niu looked at the woman lying motionless on the ground, especially when he saw half of her face was covered in blood, he was so scared that his calves were shaking. He bravely walked over and stretched out his hand to touch Jiang Nian's nose. When his hand reached out, Jiang Nian quickly held her breath, in case they found out that she was not dead and tried to torture her again.

"Dead, dead, dead! Really dead!"

Li Niu didn't catch a breath, and stood up and stepped back repeatedly in fear. His face turned pale, and he looked at Liu Fu in fear: "If I knew this widow had such a fierce temper, she would rather hit the wall than let us touch her. I would never come here even if you killed me. Now, someone is dead. What should we do?"

"Then why are you still standing there like an idiot? Run!"

Liu Fu dragged Li Niu to the wall, saying as he ran: "Xu Cheng died two days ago. Now there is no one in the Xu family, so no one knows that it was us who climbed over the wall and killed Jiang Nian. As long as we run now, no one will know that we have been here. Even if Lu Lao Er comes back from the army, he won't be able to find us."

Li Niu came to his senses belatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."

Jiang Nian listened to their conversation and finally realized what was wrong.

She was transmigrating into a book.

I traveled into a period novel I read these past two days. The hero is called Lu Yu. He and the original author's husband Xu Cheng grew up together as a childhood friend and comrade-in-arms. When the hero was ten years old, his father died, and his mother sent him to the Xu family, saying that she would come back to pick him up ten years later. Since then, the hero has been fostered in the Xu family and he and Xu Cheng are brothers.

And she happened to become Xu Cheng's wife, the hero's cannon fodder sister-in-law. The original owner only appeared once at the beginning of this book, which made Jiang Nian feel uncomfortable for a long time, not only because the original owner and her have the same name and surname, both called Jiang Nian, but also because her experience made Jiang Nian feel distressed.

In order to let the male and female protagonists meet, the author deliberately wrote Xu Cheng to death.

After Xu Cheng died, the original owner was the only one left at home. Li Niu and Liu Fu from the same village were bachelors and hooligans in the village. They saw that the original owner was beautiful and had evil intentions. They agreed to climb over the wall at night to rape the original owner. They thought that the original owner was now a helpless widow, and she would not dare to tell others even if they raped her. However,

they did not expect that the original owner was a hot-tempered person. In order to avoid being raped, she gritted her teeth and hit the wall to death.

She now occupies the body of the original owner, and the memories of the original owner keep rushing into her brain. The injury on her forehead and the strong influx of memories made Jiang Nian unable to bear it all of a sudden. She felt dizzy from the pain. She vaguely heard Li Niu and Liu Fu, who had climbed over the wall, yelling, as if they were beaten.

"Lu, Lu Laoer? Why are you back?!"

"Aren't you... ouch... in the army?"

Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment when she heard Lu Laoer's name before she realized that he was the hero of the book, Lu Yu.

The male protagonist left home with Xu Cheng to join the army a few years ago. Later, Xu Cheng had an accident that caused his lower body to be paralyzed, so he was taken home by his father to be raised. Xu Cheng's father asked someone to matchmake for Xu Cheng, hoping to find a daughter-in-law who could take good care of his son.

The original owner's family was poor. Jiang's father was lame and could not do heavy work. Jiang's mother was in poor health, and his younger brother was lazy, so all the housework fell on the original owner. Until his younger brother Jiang Guo wanted to marry a wife, the Jiang family had no money. Jiang's mother happened to find out that the Xu family wanted to marry a wife for their paralyzed eldest son. She made a plan and found the male protagonist's father. She shamelessly asked for a gift of 300 yuan to marry the original owner.

Xu Cheng was paralyzed from the waist down, and he lost his ability in that area. In addition, his waist hurt at night and he kept screaming. He was afraid of disturbing the original owner, so he sent her to sleep in the male protagonist's room. The male protagonist had been in the army, so the room was empty. It was two years ago when Xu Cheng's father died and the male protagonist came back from the army. He and the original owner dealt with the old man's afterlife. When the male protagonist left, he said to the female protagonist: Sister-in-law, you have worked hard for this family.

That was the first time the original owner saw the male protagonist, and also the last time.

According to the plot, the male protagonist came back on the fifth day after the original owner died. Why did he come back tonight?

Did she change the plot because she traveled through the book?

Jiang Nian's head hurt like it was about to explode. She propped herself up with her hands and tried to get up with her weak body. From the corner of her eye, she saw a dark shadow coming in from the wall. It was completely dark, and she couldn't see what the man looked like. She could only vaguely see the man's cold and hard jaw in the dark. When she struggled to hold up her upper body and suddenly fell down due to exhaustion, the man came forward and hugged her shoulders in time.

His arms were strong and powerful, and his palms were very measured and only held her shoulders.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Before Jiang Nian fainted, she only felt that this man was worthy of being the male protagonist. His voice was cold and low, and it sounded very nice.

Jiang Nian felt that she had slept for a long time, and her waist and forehead were hurting. She dared not frown because frowning would pull the wound, which was too painful.

She opened her eyes and saw the beams of the roof first. The roofs of the old times were not as finely decorated as the roofs of the new century. The structure of the wooden beams could be seen. The walls were made of mud with grass clippings mixed in. Some of the pits were covered with old newspapers. The newspapers said 1970. The string of numbers burned Jiang Nian's eyes like a red-hot iron, forcing her to believe that she had indeed traveled into this era.

The room she was sleeping in was still the male protagonist's. The male protagonist must have seen that the original owner's husband's room was tidy and clean, and it didn't look like anyone had slept there. On the contrary, his room had flat bedding, and there were the original owner's washstand and clothes. There was the smell of the original owner's life everywhere.

I think the male protagonist must have carried her in.

The male protagonist's room was also very simple. A cold and hard wooden bed was placed next to the old window. A table and a round wooden stool were placed next to the bed. A simple wooden box was placed at the foot of the bed. Inside were a few pieces of clothes that the original owner usually changed. Next to the door was a washbasin stand. The washbasin with a red background and white prints was the original owner's only wedding dowry.

Jiang Nian really felt sorry for the original owner.

In order to marry her younger brother, her mother was reluctant to prepare even a thick quilt and a few new clothes, so she gave her a porcelain basin. She was embarrassed.

There were footsteps coming from outside. Jiang Nian sat up with her hands on the bed. She thought it was the hero coming. Just as she was thinking about how to organize her words, she turned her head and saw a middle-aged woman in her forties coming in. She was wearing khaki clothes and loose pants. There was a layer of dirt on her knees. She was wearing old cloth shoes and her hair was braided and hung behind her head. It was a typical outfit of a country girl in the 1970s.

"Daughter-in-law of the Xu family, you are finally awake."

Aunt Zhao walked over and sat on the bedside with the rice in her hands. She handed the bowl in her hand to Jiang Nian and glanced at the gauze wrapped on her head: "You said you are serious. If there is a thief in the house, you don't even know how to scream. , Our two families are close to each other, if you shout, I will hear it, and I will definitely let my family's son and Gangzi come over, and you won't have to suffer the consequences of this. "

Aunt Zhao is from the next door family, and Aunt Zhao has helped her a lot in the past few years since the original owner married.

Jiang Nian developed a liking for her and took the bowl she handed over: "I was also scared at that time and couldn't shout."

Aunt Zhao said: "You are lucky. You happened to catch up with Lu Laoer's return home to visit the funeral, and caught those two bastards Li Niu and Liu Fu red-handed. Lu Laoer asked me to look after you early in the morning while he and the captain sent them to the county police station."

Aunt Zhao spat again: "Those two guys are really good-for-nothings. They took advantage of your man who just died and tried to steal the subsidy that Lu Laoer sent to your family. They deserve to be put in jail and they should be reformed."

Jiang Nian got a message from Aunt Zhao's words that the male protagonist described the failed attempt of Li Niu and Liu Fu to rape a woman as a robbery, thus preserving the original owner's reputation.

There are always many troubles around a widow, especially in the 1970s. If people knew that Li Niu and Liu Fu climbed over the wall to rape the original owner, everyone in the village would spit and nail to drown the original owner.

Jiang Nian woke up in the afternoon, and her stomach was already growling with hunger.

Aunt Zhao gave her pickled vegetables and a wok. The wok was hard and difficult to swallow. She ate a few bites but couldn't eat it anymore.

In the 1970s, every household in the countryside relied on working for the production team to earn work points. The work points were calculated annually. The more labor in the family, the more work points they earned, and the more grain they received at the end of the year than other families. The original owner and Jiang's mother earned work points throughout the year, and the grain they received at the end of the year was pitifully small, and it was common for the family to go hungry. Aunt Zhao's family had two laborers, Uncle Zhao and her son Zhao Gang. Although they did not earn as many work points as other families at the end of the year, they still had enough food for the family.

Aunt Zhao saw Jiang Nian stop eating after a few bites, frowned and asked: "Why don't you eat?"

Jiang Nian smiled: "Headache, nausea, a little bit can't eat."

Aunt Zhao was stunned when she saw the smile on Jiang Nian's face. Not to mention, this young wife is fair and beautiful, and she has two dimples when she smiles, which is quite pretty.

Jiang Nian saw Aunt Zhao's surprise, she lowered her head and pursed her lips.

Because her parents favored boys over girls, the original owner had been a laborer at home. She was dull since childhood, didn't like to laugh or talk, and rarely interacted with neighbors after marrying into the Lu family. If Aunt Zhao wasn't a loud speaker, many people would have thought that the Xu family had married a dumb daughter-in-law.

After Aunt Zhao left, Jiang Nian lay in bed for a while, and then got up when it was dark. He put on his cloth shoes and walked out holding the wall. There were footsteps outside the room. The sound was different from Aunt Zhao's walking. The newcomer's footsteps were steady and powerful, and he walked out of the door in a few steps. The

door frame was short, and the man was tall and slender. He lowered his head when he entered.

He was wearing a military green military uniform, just like the description in the book, with a cold and handsome appearance and majestic eyebrows like mountains and rivers. Seeing Jiang Nian walking holding the wall, the man hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to hold the thin arm.

"Where are you going, sister-in-law? I'll help you."

Jiang Nian:...

She wants to go to the bathroom.
