Chapter 282 The World of Famine Relief (1)
Wangyou returned to the system space, found a mirror and looked at the divine mark between her eyebrows. This divine mark was a primordial imprint. If a descendant of the Xie family was born with a divine mark, he would be the prodigy of the Xie family.
But that wasn't all the information provided, leaving Wangyou even more confused.
So she took out the two jade pendants and put them together. In her mind, some images appeared, including the figure of Pangu. This jade pendant was made by Pangu using his own byproducts, but that was all.
"Brother, I'm so confused right now. My mind is a complete mess. Who am I?" Wangyou looked at the jade pendant in her palm, her thoughts churning.
Duobao didn't dare to interrupt for a moment and could only wait for Wangyou to come to her senses on her own.
After a long while, Wangyou put away the jade pendant in her hand, then smiled and said, "Let's go!"
"Initiate teleportation!"
……
When Wangyou opened her eyes again, she was in a new world. In this world, Wangyou was a child in a village called Peach Blossom Village. The people in the village did not have a single surname, but rather a combination of multiple surnames.
In this life, she was reborn into the Zhou family as the youngest daughter of the second branch. The second branch had five children: the eldest brother Zhou Tieniu, the second brother Zhou Dazhu, the third sister Zhou Erya, the fourth sister Zhou Wuya, and the youngest was Wangyou.
Originally, we wanted to name them Zhou Qiya according to their order, but that day, the two words that popped into everyone's mind at the same time were: Forget Worry.
The Zhou family has three branches. The eldest son of the eldest branch is naturally favored by the old man and woman. The youngest son of the third branch is also favored. Only the second branch is neither here nor there, and can be said to be the family's hard-working ox.
Therefore, the two sons of the eldest son's wife attended the academy, while the sons of the second son's wife were completely illiterate.
Fortunately, the second couple loved their child. Wangyou didn't want to be breastfed, but they managed to feed her rice cereal. However, it was mostly her third sister, Zhou Erya, who took care of Wangyou.
When Wangyou had nothing to do, she browsed through the world's plot. The female protagonist of this world was actually the daughter of the third wife, named Zhou Fubao. It is said that on the day Zhou Fubao was born, the old lady was going back to her parents' home. However, her third daughter-in-law was about to give birth, so the old lady did not go. After Zhou Fubao was born, she heard that there was a landslide on the way to her parents' home, and several people were trapped underneath.
The old lady was immediately frightened. When she returned, she hugged Zhou Fubao and praised her as her lucky baby. She treated Zhou Fubao extremely well. As a result, all the other girls in the Zhou family were considered a waste of money, while Zhou Fubao was the eldest daughter.
Zhou Fubao was a year older than Wangyou. In three years, they would be fleeing famine. On the way, Zhou Fubao suddenly saved a young prince. This young prince was no ordinary person. He was actually a prince. Zhou Fubao stayed by the prince's side because of his status as his savior.
But the others are not so good. This young prince may be young, but he is a real ingrate. Back then, Zhou Fubao only provided the words, and the rest was done by the second branch of the Zhou family. As a result, this kid only remembers Zhou Fubao's kindness.
After returning home, he actually sent people to kill everyone in Peach Blossom Village, because the villagers had seen him at his most wretched and could not be spared.
After watching the plot, if this is still considered the chosen one, then either the Heavenly Way is blind or hasn't been formed yet.
However, it has little to do with Wangyou at the moment. After all, the plot is the plot, and the world is the world. How to treat the family in this world depends on their behavior.
Of course, there are few restrictions in this world, so Wangyou has the robot prepare milk powder for her every day, and she drinks a bottle whenever she has a spare moment, otherwise how could she possibly be full from rice cereal?
Wangyou never even considered giving her a ginseng or anything like that, since the benefits wouldn't even go to her, so why was she worrying about it?
"Little sister, these are wild berries that I found on the mountain. You can eat them secretly," Zhou Tieniu said with a simple smile.
"Thank you, brother." Wangyou didn't refuse her brother's kindness. "Brother, you should eat too."
"Brother has already eaten. This was picked especially for you. You eat first, then I'll go catch some fish for you in the river." Zhou Tieniu smiled and ran out again.
Wangyou is almost two years old now. She doesn't need anyone to watch her all the time, and she can't do any work, so she is relatively free. At the same time, Wangyou has also met Zhou Fubao, and there is something wrong with Zhou Fubao.
She has the appearance of a child but the soul of an adult. Judging from her soul, she is just an ordinary person, probably a college student who transmigrated. However, her eyes do not have the foolish clarity of a college student, but rather reveal a hint of shrewdness.
Forget-Me-Not is not a bad person. As long as you don't bother her, everything is fine. As for the whole village being killed because she saved people on the way to escape famine, that hasn't happened yet. We'll see when the time comes.
After August, not a single drop of rain fell from the sky, and the incantations on the dinner table became increasingly sparse, until eventually they could be seen reflected in the water.
Wangyou originally wanted to use a rain-bringing talisman, but after calculating with her fingers, she realized that the world was about to descend into chaos, so she decided to just flee the famine.
Uncle Zhou's family also returned around the time of the Lunar New Year. Apparently, there was a food shortage in the city, with the price of food changing daily, and the county school was on the verge of collapse.
Wangyou didn't know how much of what they said was true, because it didn't really concern her. She just heard her parents talking about how the river was getting shallower and shallower, how the harvest was bad this year, and how the dry, cold weather was making many people sick.
Children from poor families mature early, which also means that family resources are unevenly distributed. For their daughter Wangyou, the couple was just concerned about keeping her from starving or freezing to death; they couldn't care less about anything else.
Wangyou doesn't understand the blind filial piety of ancient times, because she herself is not one of them, but she can understand it. Just like a person who has been subjected to psychological manipulation for a long time cannot develop the consciousness to resist, the second wife and her husband are like that.
This year's Spring Festival was unusually quiet. The liveliest place was probably Dr. He's house in the village, because almost every family had someone sick, and the illness was very contagious. Wangyou thought it was a viral cold.
However, most people would rather endure the pain than buy medicine, because medical treatment has never been cheap throughout history.
"Third Sister, I want some water. Let's boil some water!" Wangyou said softly, looking at Zhou Sanya with pleading eyes.
Zhou Sanya swallowed hard. Water in the family is now rationed; each family only has one bucket of water a day. If they try to boil water, their grandmother will beat them to death.
"Third sister, call eldest brother, second brother, and fourth sister, and come with me," Wangyou whispered.
Zhou Sanya nodded, not knowing what her sister was going to do, but instinctively wanting to believe her.
The five children slipped out of their house and followed the path pointed out by Wangyou until they arrived at a small cave. This cave was extremely hidden and could not be found without someone leading them.
"Little sister, how did you know?"
"Go in, there's water." Wangyou only said two words before carefully leading the four people into the cave.
This cave was extremely narrow; only a few-year-old child could pass through, and older children couldn't. So, the eldest and second eldest brothers simply climbed in.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before their view opened up, and what appeared before them was a huge stalactite cave with the sound of dripping water inside.
"Third Sister, use that stone pot to boil water!" Wangyou pointed to the stone pot, then took out two flints and pointed to the firewood in the corner.
"Little sister, did you do all this?" Zhou Tieniu asked incredulously, his eyes wide.
"Yes!" Wangyou nodded proudly.
