When I woke up again, it was pitch black outside the window, and the candle inside the room was flickering. A slight breeze made the light and shadows sway.
The dull ache in my head gradually disappeared, and my mind was filled with many memories that were not mine.
"Ding, your system Cherry has gone online. Please click to accept."
Nanzhi suddenly woke up and sat up straight.
The system? Could it be that heaven took pity on her and gave her a cheat code?
"Cherry?" Nan Zhi murmured, the name sounding so familiar.
Nanzhi got up and walked to the table, selecting 'Receive' without hesitation in the dialog box in front of her.
"Cherry is officially launched, system testing in progress..."
"Detection successful. Host: Nanzhi. Mission objective: Escape from suffering and become wealthy."
Nanzhi, however, was not concerned about the mission at this moment.
"Cherry, will I stay in this world forever?"
Cherry's mechanical voice rang in her mind, "From now on, the host will live in this world as Nan Zhi. As long as you don't do anything reckless, you will live to a ripe old age."
"Then what was going on with constantly traveling between different worlds before?"
Cherry: "The system may have made a matching error, or the host's intelligence may not have met the requirements for fusion with the system."
Nanzhi suddenly didn't want to ask anymore.
The original owner, Nan Zhi, was a villager in Tai Le Village. She was unloved by her father and mother from a young age and suffered all kinds of abuse. After her brother married her sister-in-law, the abuse and beatings she received from her sister-in-law intensified.
Finally, one day, she couldn't take it anymore and secretly prepared her things to escape. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by Chen Siyu, the village bully, who not only robbed her of her things but also beat her to death.
She put it on right away.
When she transmigrated, it was right after Chen Siyu and his henchmen had committed murder and disposed of the body.
No wonder the original owner appeared in the icy water in the dead of winter; it turns out he was murdered and his body dumped.
However, Nan Zhi searched through the original owner's memories but couldn't find any information about Song Hanyan.
It seems the two had never met before.
Nanzhi looked around but didn't find a mirror in the room. Suddenly, she saw a water tank in the corner.
The fire inside the house was burning brightly, and the water in the water tank did not freeze.
By candlelight, Nanzhi finally saw her current appearance.
He was thin and weak, with a sallow complexion, prominent cheekbones, and a gaunt face. Although he was already fifteen years old, he was emaciated and malnourished.
Thinking of the life the original owner had lived, Nan Zhi sighed deeply.
To live a long life, one must first leave the original owner's home.
But the original owner had no power or influence, so how could she escape from that cannibalistic home? Even if she escaped now, who knows if they would come looking for her again if they heard she was alive.
Shifting my gaze into the room, I saw swords and bows hanging on the walls, and the stools covered with the pelts of hunted animals. Could he be a hunter?
She stood up and took a sudden step forward, a wave of dizziness washing over her. Having not eaten for many days, her stomach felt empty. Nanzhi supported herself as she walked to the door, intending to find something to eat.
The night was deep. I opened the door and saw a person sitting by the campfire, constantly adding firewood to the fire.
The firelight illuminated his slightly darkened and resolute face, making him appear exceptionally rugged.
Song Hanyan looked up and found that the other person had come out. He moved a stool and placed it next to the fire, gesturing for her to sit down.
Nanzhi shuffled over, draped in her clothes.
Roasted rabbit meat sizzled and dripped with oil over the fire. Nanzhi stared intently at the meat on the rack and swallowed hard.
The aroma wafted into her nose, and Nanzhi stared intently at the rabbit meat, momentarily forgetting the purpose of her trip.
Seeing her gaze, Song Hanyan shook his head, took the whole rabbit off the grill, cut the meat into pieces with a knife, placed them on a clean cloth, and then handed them to Nanzhi.
Hungry, Nanzhi quickly took the meat, thanked her, and then swallowed it all.
Song Hanyan looked at her, sizing her up and down.
Her eating habits are quite adorable, but she's in poor health. She's skin and bones; it seems she's not having an easy time at home either.
If she doesn't want to go back, I wouldn't mind taking in another person.
Wait, what is he thinking? Song Hanyan quickly dismissed the thought.
He was just a hunter, used to living alone, and besides, the girl's family wouldn't be happy about it.
Therefore, it must be sent back.
After finishing the barbecue, Nan Zhi stretched comfortably, and with the warm heat of the fire, a faint blush gradually crept onto her thin face.
“Um,” Nanzhi said softly, looking at him, “I plan to go back tomorrow. Thank you for taking care of me during this time. Don’t worry, I will repay you in the future.”
Repay? Song Hanyan looked the person in front of him up and down. What could a penniless girl possibly offer in return?
I don't know what I was thinking, or why I saved that person at that time.
He shook his head to suppress the strange feeling and then put the matter out of his mind.
The next morning, Song Hanyan dropped Nanzhi off at a place not far from home and then left.
Not long after Nan Zhi left, Li Xunfang emerged from behind the tree.
How did the girl from the Nan family end up with Hunter Song? And I heard that Nan Zhi has been missing for two days.
Could it be?
Zhao Hui has two sons and has always been arrogant in front of her. Now that something like this has happened to the Nan family, let's see how she will ever be able to hold her head high in front of her again.
When Nanzhi returned home, she opened the door to find her family enjoying a meal together.
They chatted and laughed, and despite Nanzhi having been missing for more than two days, they didn't seem worried at all.
Seeing her return, Zhao Hui slammed her chopsticks on the table.
"You still know how to come back? If I didn't know better, I would have thought you were cheating on me."
