Chapter 2 What does it mean to die quickly when traveling through time?
Here, Ding Xiaodie could only sit up slowly by herself.
What’s going on? Is there something wrong with the original owner’s legs?
She lowered her head anxiously to look, and was shocked when she saw it.
I was so sad when I woke up just now that I hadn't taken a good look at myself. Now I look... Oh my god, with such thin arms and legs, could she be a child?
No wonder my parents looked at me strangely just now.
Surprised, Ding Xiaodie turned to look at them, only to see Zhang Xiu's face curled in embarrassment. Ding Gui said cheerfully, "It's okay, Bao'er. You look cuter this way."
“…”
What's so cute about her? She was a heroic female police officer in her previous life!
She couldn't help but ask, "How old am I now?"
Ding Gui tried to recall for a moment, then stretched out his hand and gestured: "Twelve."
Twelve years old?
Oh my god!
After studying hard and diligently, she was admitted to the Public Security University. After graduation, she worked her way up to the position of the top female detective in the police station. But was it easy for her? She was unexpectedly beaten back to the age of twelve at the first sign of her life.
Oh, God is really giving me face!
Ding Xiaodie couldn't help but raise her middle finger towards the night sky.
Zhang Xiu over there immediately said, "Shh, put it away."
The nagging of the family of three caused Li Dafeng's dissatisfaction. She muttered and cursed: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? You are not hungry yet, right? Shut up."
"Mom, what is the name of our country now?"
Ding Gui pretended to be timid and asked cautiously.
Li Dafeng was so annoyed that she replied, "I've always said that you've been like your father since you were little, a loser who has to ask me about everything. It's the 220th year of Qi Yan now. Go away and don't disturb my sleep anymore."
Ding Xiaodie saw that her father had a very ugly expression on his face after hearing this.
She quickly moved over and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ding Gui came to his senses and quickly found an excuse to accompany Xiaodie to pee, and took his daughter and wife to a place farther away from the crowd of villagers.
"It's over, it's over!" Ding Gui rubbed his hands, his face turning pale with helplessness.
"What's going on? Just tell me straight away!" Zhang Xiu is an accountant and she tends to be calm when doing things.
Ding Gui then said: "According to what my mother said, we are now in the Qi and Yan dynasties in 220 AD."
Ding Xiaodie asked hurriedly: "What do you mean, we are not in the Qi and Yan Kingdoms of the Five Continents?"
"It was in Qi and Yan. However, this happened to be the time when an important historical figure died. Constant wars during this era caused a sharp decline in Qi and Yan's population, severely damaging their economy. Even worse, the nomadic Modu tribes were at war with Qi. During this period, almost all of the Han people in the north were massacred, with a death toll estimated to be over ten million!"
"Ah, stop talking!" Zhang Xiu got goose bumps all over his body. It was too scary.
This time, Ding Xiaodie rolled her eyes without hesitation and gave God a middle finger.
"The only lucky thing is that we are in the south now, right?" she asked, retracting her finger.
But I saw my father sighing and shaking his head: "No... Based on our clothes, I can conclude that we should be in the north now."
“…” Zhang Xiu was stunned.
Ding Xiaodie's scalp tingled. "So, not only are we facing a drought once in a century, but we're also facing a group of nomadic Modu soldiers who are ready to slaughter the people of Qi and Yan at any time?"
Ding Gui nodded heavily.
It's over.
It seems that God sent them here so that they can experience what it means to die quickly after traveling through time.
Just when the three of them were worried about this time travel, which they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse...
Wang Dafeng howled over there: "Ding Gui, where is he?"
It turned out that the old woman had been sleeping with her head resting on her son's legs since the day she fled famine.
Although she was destined to be poor, she could not stand the pain of being hurt by the stones. In addition, her son and his family of three had been gone for a long time. She was worried that they would abandon her and flee the famine on their own, so she had to see Ding Gui all the time.
Following Wang Dafeng's howl, Ding Gui, who had inherited the most complete memories of the original owner, recalled the past.
The old woman had not only one son, Ding Gui, but three sons in total. The eldest son got married early, and at that time the second and third sons, Ding Gui, were both strong laborers in the family. However, when the second son was about to get married and asked for a betrothal gift, the shrewd eldest son immediately proposed to divide the family.
Well, all the suffering of the two brothers over the years went into the eldest brother's pocket, and then the second brother, who was married, wanted to separate from the family, and finally when it came to the third brother Ding Gui, he really lived in a thatched house with no rice in the jar and lived in poverty.
Only after Zhang Xiu married him did the young couple gradually have some hope in their lives, but every year they struggled and could only barely fill their stomachs.
As for why Wang Dafeng, who was widowed early in life, chose to live with him, the poorest youngest son.
The reason is very simple. The eldest and second daughters-in-law are not easy to mess with, and she has been beating this third son since he was a child. The third daughter-in-law is also easy to bully. Wang Dafeng can scold and beat him as she pleases, so why not do it?
This is a severe drought that occurs once in a century.
Seeing that more and more people would starve to death if the famine continued, the village chief Lai Fu had no choice but to suggest that the villagers take all the food they could eat with them and flee the famine together.
Who would have thought that even in this situation, Li Dafeng was still selfish. When she went out, she kept the last bowl of pancakes in her arms and refused to let anyone eat them.
This made Ding Gui and his family of three extremely weak.
Just when they happened to reach the hill called Lizipo, someone shouted in front that there was a pond, which caused the villagers, who were originally half-dead, to rush forward as if they were injected with chicken blood.
In this way, Ding Gui's family of three, who had little strength to begin with, were unable to avoid the danger and were trampled to death.
This was also the reason why Village Chief Lai Fu later forced everyone to dig a hole and bury them.
After receiving these memories from the original owner, Ding Gui sighed, "The old woman is so vicious. She was so cruel to me, her son, but she couldn't bear to give her granddaughter, who was so skinny, a bite."
Zhang Xiu was even more confused and confused: "What kind of fate do I have? In modern times, I met in-laws like your parents, and now I meet such a weird mother-in-law here. Is this also a time travel?"
Ding Xiaodie knew that her mother was recalling the sad past.
My grandparents are the type of people who rely on their retirement pay and think that as long as they have it, they will never need her as their daughter-in-law, so my mother has to suffer a lot of humiliation at home.
There is no need to dwell on the past now.
She quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Our most important goal now is to get a stutterer."
