"Mom, wake up, Mom..."
"Mom, I'm hungry, Mom"
"Cool, cool"
"Stomach, stomach, hungry"
Several children, wearing patched clothes of unknown material and color, with short hair and thin bodies whose ages could not be identified, appeared in her dream again and called her mother, waking her up again.
I reached out and touched the sweat on my forehead. I felt very uncomfortable because my whole body was sweaty. I shouted to the door, "Someone, prepare some water. I want to take a shower."
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare again?" The maid Tao Xia came in trotting, lifted the bed curtain and saw her mistress Zhang Anan sitting up with sweat all over her forehead, her hair stuck to her face, and a look of deep thought on her face.
"Miss, the water is ready," Tao Xia reminded her softly.
Zhang Anan said nothing, climbed down from the bed and walked towards the bathroom next to her. As she walked, she was still wondering what the dream she had been having meant. She had been having it for several days in a row and she couldn't figure it out.
Zhang Anan quickly washed up and changed into clean clothes. She saw Tao Xia had already changed her sweaty bedding.
She is the only legitimate granddaughter of General Zhang Anan, a famous "lady of noble family" in the capital who is both talented in literature and martial arts. Now she is troubled by a dream and cannot sleep well. If it gets out, it will make many people laugh. It's because her reputation is too bad.
Depressed, Zhang Anan rolled around on the bed for a few times, thinking carefully about his dream, and discovered a major problem.
"Their clothes are different from the ones we wear here," Zhang Anan casually remarked on her discovery.
"The environment is very poor and the houses are very shabby. Why do they look a bit like me?" Zhang Anan found many suspicious points, and suddenly had a strong idea in her mind that these children who called her mother in the dream were related to her, and she would live that kind of life in the future.
She shook her head violently, telling herself that this was not true.
Zhang Anan's dream continued. As there were no other special circumstances, she ignored it and read it as a storybook. From time to time, she would tell it as an excuse to entertain her grandmother. Tao Xia, her personal maid, was very puzzled as to why her young lady had not read the storybook during this period!
One day, Zhang Anan was playing with her grandmother in the back garden when her personal maid suddenly started shouting in panic, "Miss, Madam, something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened."
"Taoxia, please speak to me nicely. The old lady is fine. What happened that scared you like this?" Zhang Anan quickly stood up and scolded her, then hurriedly asked her what happened.
"There are soldiers outside who have surrounded the house and won't let us go out. They say the general and his men have rebelled at the border, and the third master who entered the palace earlier has been thrown into prison." Tao Xia said what she had heard in a tearful voice.
"Madam, madam," Tao Qiu, who was standing next to her, hurriedly hugged the unconscious Madam Zhang to prevent her from falling to the ground.
Zhang Anan was a little anxious when she saw her grandmother fainted, and hurriedly helped her to lean on a chair nearby.
This was the first time Zhang Anan faced such a situation, and she tried her best to calm herself down. Now that her grandmother had fainted, she could only rely on herself. It was good enough that others didn't come to bully her.
"Tao Qiu, go to the kitchen and call Aunt Gu back. Don't let anyone else know that the old lady has fainted. And by the way, get rid of those people in front."
"Taoxia, you and I will take the old lady back to her yard."
Zhang Anan made arrangements calmly.
The master and servant took great pains to bring Madam Zhang back. Now the whole mansion was in chaos. No one paid attention to their movements. They were either inquiring about what was happening outside or making money for themselves. They were all busy.
"Miss Sun, how is the old lady?" Tao Qiu came back with Aunt Gu.
"Aunt Gu, please go check on my grandmother. In her current condition, I don't dare to ask anyone to call a doctor," Zhang Anan answered in a tearful voice as if she had found her backbone.
"Miss Sun, don't worry. The old lady is fine and will wake up soon. You should go and rest for a while. Now there is no imperial decree, so don't take anything seriously and don't panic. Don't interfere in the affairs of the mansion." Aunt Gu reached out and felt the old lady's pulse. She felt relieved when she knew she was fine, and then she patiently comforted the frightened Zhang Anan.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Gu. I'll sit here for a while and wait for grandma to wake up," Zhang Anan took the two maids to the next room.
[Ding Dong, target person found, do you want to bind?]
Zhang Anan heard a sound in her ears that she had never heard before. She turned her head and looked around to see where it came from.
"Miss, what are you looking at?" Tao Qiu asked.
"Oh, I didn't see anything. Why are you alone here? Where did Taoxia go?" Zhang Anan asked casually, subconsciously not wanting to tell them.
"She went to the front to inquire about the situation. When I came back just now, I found someone wandering around the door," Tao Qiu said what she found when she came back.
"Don't worry about them, just wait for grandma to wake up. You go out first, I'll be alone," Zhang Anan thought of the voice and sent her out directly.
[Ding Dong, target person found, do you want to bind?]
[Ding Dong, target person found, do you want to bind?]
"Who are you? Come out," Zhang Anan asked bravely.
[Binding failed, request to bind again]
[Binding failed, request to bind again]
[Binding failed, request to bind again]
"Who are you? Come out. How can you be a hero if you hide like that?" Zhang Anan was terrified and trembling all over.
[Binding successfully can save your family's lives. Do you want to bind?]
"What do you mean? Tell me clearly what will happen if I don't bind my family."
[The general who defends the country confirmed the rebellion and executed all nine generations of his clan]
"Why, why is it like this? No, no," Zhang Anan collapsed on the ground, unable to accept it. Why was it like this?
"Miss, please go outside to receive the imperial edict," Tao Xia's anxious voice came.
[Binding successfully can save your family's lives. Do you want to bind?]
[Binding successfully can save your family's lives. Do you want to bind?]
"Can it really save people? Is there anything you want me to do?" Zhang Anan was attracted by the slightly tempting voice when he heard the decree. He didn't dare to bet on the content, and now he could only bet on this so-called system, so he asked in a low voice.
[Yes, you just need to travel through time.]
"I'll bind it." Zhang Anan thought for a while and said gritting his teeth.
[Successfully bound to the Happy Family system]
[The time of the journey is during the spring season. A warehouse is provided as a reward. It can be used to store fresh food but not living things. The system malfunctioned during the journey. I am currently in a part of it. I will need to find the other part after the journey. The system is about to crash due to lack of energy. Please take care of yourself.]
