Chapter 1

It has been almost half a month since Lin Jiao traveled to Peach Blossom Village. From the discomfort at the beginning to the calmness now, she has accepted her fate and knows that she cannot go back.

Unlike other traversers who were bitter, or who were cheated or betrayed, her previous life was finally fixed in her happiest summer.

She is smart and hardworking, so studying is a piece of cake.When taking the college entrance examination, he did not hesitate to fill in a certain major in a famous school in the imperial capital that he had longed for since he was a child.I didn't want to be stronger than the best, and I didn't get into my favorite major, but because I ticked the obedience on the volunteer column, I finally entered the Civil Engineering and Water Conservancy College in a daze.

She would study such a major, she had never dreamed of it before.After some embarrassment and psychological loss, I started to read honestly, and gradually got a taste of reading. I finished my postgraduate study in one breath, and my grades were all excellent. After graduation, I was recommended by my tutor and had the opportunity to enter a famous survey and design institute. Yes, but after some consideration, she finally gave up on the foreseeable future of working with scrupulous masters, taking various qualification certificates, and waiting to slowly get through the ranks, and competed for a job with a large domestic power group.

Lin Jiao is actually a very ambitious person.After four or five years of hard work, she turned from an engineering technician to an administrator, and after countless bloody intrigues of being stepped on and trampled on, she finally succeeded in trampling all her competitors under her feet and took the position of the second in command of the department.Then last year, the group took over a major counterpart task of building a large hydropower reservoir for a poor mountainous area.

This kind of hard work at the scene was originally not Lin Jiao's turn.It can be regarded as her bad luck. Before the accident, in order to cooperate with the TV station's interview, the boss knew that she was professional and proficient, so he appointed her to go there together in case of emergency.When the boss spoke, she naturally followed suit. Without a word, she packed her luggage and followed into the construction site in the mountainous area.When she was in front of the camera, she had all kinds of scene talk, professional talk, and timely flattery from her boss. She did it beautifully, and her boss was very satisfied. She hinted that after she was transferred next year, she would be the best candidate to take over her position.Lin Jiao was in high spirits, as if she had foreseen a more exciting life in the future.

After the official business is over, it is inevitable to eat and drink.Accompanied by the person in charge of the construction site project and the local reception cadres, a group of people went down a mountain road in a mighty way, and an accident happened.The muddy mountain wall that had been loosened by the rain a few days ago suddenly collapsed in a small area, pinning down the two unlucky people who were passing below, and she was one of them.The other was lucky, after being dragged out and sent to the hospital, she was only frightened and injured, but Lin Jiao's head was hit by a big rock rolled down by the mud flow, and she won the lottery on the spot.

Originally, next week, she had already planned to go back to her hometown to attend her brother's wedding.But now—when Lin Jiao opened her eyes again, she had become Chunjiao, the 19-year-old child bride-in-law of Lao Yang's family at Xi'aokou, Taohua Village, Qinghe County.

The country name of this dynasty, Daxia, is an empty space in terms of the type of time travel.Seven years ago, when Chunjiao was 12 years old, Daxia was at war with its neighbors in the north, and the imperial court enlisted a large number of soldiers. When they were assigned to Taohua Village, ten places were allocated.Ordinary people just want to guard their own one-acre three-point land to live a peaceful life. Who wants to go to the battlefield to work their lives?When God sneezes, my life will be over.So in the village there are families with males over the age of 14, and those who are well-to-do will secretly go to the patriarch and find various excuses to get rid of the family.In the end, those who had no connections and no family background were gathered together in the ancestral hall and drawn lots under the auspices of the patriarch.

Taohua Village has hundreds of families, it is a big village, and Yang is the main surname in it.This Chunjiao man, Yang Nengwen, was said to have been lucky at the time and did not get the lottery.Another stone widow's family in the village was hit.Her only son, Shi Qingshan, was fourteen at the time, weak since childhood, and was raised by Widow Shi as a baby.As soon as she got the lottery, she fainted on the spot, woke up, hugged her son and cried loudly.When it was miserable, Chunjiao's mother-in-law Ding Shi gritted her teeth and asked her son Yang Nengwen to join the army instead of Shi Qingshan.

Why did Mrs. Ding act like this?It's a long story.It turned out that more than ten years ago, Chunjiao's father-in-law, Lao Yang, and Shi Qingshan's father went to the mountain together, wanting to dig some mountain goods and hunt some small animals to supplement the family expenses, but unexpectedly encountered a hungry wolf, who threw Lao Yang down.Fortunately, Father Qingshan did not run away alone, he just used a machete to rescue Lao Yang from the mouth of the wolf, but he was bitten by the neck by the injured and furious wolf, and died as soon as he was carried down the mountain.Although my husband has passed away now, I have to repay the kindness of others who sacrificed their lives.Shi Qingshan is the only seedling of the Shi family, if it disappears, his family will cut off the incense, but there is still a young son in his family.Although Ding does not recognize a single character, he recognizes this reason.So at that time, he asked his eldest son Yang Nengwen to join the army instead of Shi Qingshan.

For things like going to war, no one dared to pat their chests and say that they would definitely be able to return when they did.Since her son was leaving, Ding originally wanted Chunjiao to consummate the house with him earlier, but seeing that Chunjiao was really young, thin, and ignorant, she was so frightened that she would only cry, Ding finally gave up the idea, but She sent her son away with tears, only hoping that God would open his eyes and bring him back safely.

Five years passed quickly, and two years ago when Chunjiao was 17, a government notice was posted in the village, saying that the war was finally over.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law look forward to it day and night, and finally this day has come. They don't want to think that among the ten people who went out of Taohua Village, only one named Yang Dahe came back, and the rest were all dead.The relics of Yang Nengwen and the remaining eight people from the same village were collected by Yang Dahe from the pile of dead people on purpose, and now they are brought back as a reminder for his family.Moreover, this person's death was in vain, and each family only received a pension of a penny from the government.

Only Yang Nengwen's family, after some time later, the county issued another document, saying that he knew that Ding's mother had acted righteously at the beginning, and that he had made military exploits in battle, but it was a pity that he died. Go to the county government to get three hundred dollars.Although the three hundred dollars is not worth much, it is also a comfort to Lao Yang's family.

During those days in Peach Blossom Village, there were sorrowful clouds and mists everywhere, and there were constant cries.After the sadness is over, how should I live this day, or continue to live.But now, everyone in the village has returned to normal life, but Chunjiao's life is getting more and more difficult.

Chunjiao, also surnamed Lin, was originally from the Lin family village twenty miles away, and her father was also an honest farmer.In order to piece together the bride price for his son to marry his wife, Chunjiao was given to the Yang family as a child bride early on.With Yang Nengwen gone, the only remaining members of the Yang family were his mother-in-law Ding and Chunjiao's uncle Yang Nengwu, who was only eight years old at the time.The so-called misfortunes never come singly. Last year, after the rain one day, when Nengwu went up the mountain with several children in the village, he accidentally slipped down the hillside and knocked his head.At that time, there was only a swollen bag on the forehead, and it didn't look like a serious problem.Unexpectedly, the next day, Nengwu had a headache, and a few days later, he complained that he could not see clearly.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law panicked, and hurriedly pooled their belongings and sent Nengwu to the medical center in the county to see a doctor. After taking a lot of medicine, it didn't help. Up to now, although Nengwu's eyes still look bright, he can't see anything. up.

The Great Xia Dynasty respected etiquette and conservative folk customs. Although there was no law restricting widows from remarrying, they encouraged keeping festivals.This is also the reason why none of the remaining widows in the same village who died of men like Chunjiao have remarried so far.In the past two years, Chunjiao has taken care of her sick mother-in-law, her uncle who has poor eyesight, and the three acres of land. If Widow Shi didn't help her every now and then, how could she take care of it all by herself?Pity her for being a weak woman, now she is just gritted her teeth to bear the heavy burden of the Yang family.The mother-in-law passed away last month, and after the funeral, the entire Yang family will be left in dilapidation, leaving only the ancestral three acres of land by the river.

A few days ago, Chunjiao went to the forest at the foot of the mountain to dig some wild vegetables.Now in early spring, the wild vegetables are growing tender.I searched around, and the more conspicuous places had already been bald by the villagers, so I searched for them in the forest, but I was molested by Huang Erpi, a gangster from the same village who followed me.Chunjiao panicked and resisted, and the cries for help attracted the nearby villagers who were also digging vegetables. Seeing that the situation was not good, Huang Erpi ran away quickly.

Although the siege was resolved, she did not expect that a series of accidents would occur that made her at a loss what to do.That Huang Erpi spread rumors everywhere, saying that she had seen Chunjiao lent her brother-in-law the opportunity to grab medicine before, flirting with strange men in the county town, and this time she was the one who seduced him first.Although the villagers knew that he was a scoundrel, there were too many people spreading the word, and Chunjiao had bloomed like a flower in the past few years, her chest swelled up like a puff, and the coarse cloth clothes couldn't cover it up. There were some faint rumors, and she looked at her with strange eyes, and there were people pointing behind her wherever she went.Chunjiao burst into tears.Perhaps it was due to the long-term pressure, and being disturbed by this incident, he even thought of committing suicide. He went to the deep water of Taohuaxi at the end of the village in a daze, and jumped down as soon as he closed his eyes. Fortunately, there was a man nearby who was touching snails. The villagers were alarmed by the sound of water and rushed to rescue her.After a lot of tossing, when she opened her eyes, Lixin had already been replaced by Lin Jiao.

In the past half a month, Lin Jiao has been inseparable from her current situation.

It was clear that it was Nengwu's uncle's family, Yang Baitian and his wife, who coveted the three acres of riverside land.In the past when the Ding family was still there, the two couples dared not do anything. Now that the Ding family is gone, the Yang family only has a young widow who is as boring as a gourd and a blind ten-year-old Neng Wu.Huang Erpi's behavior half a month ago might have something to do with these two couples.

Lin Jiao squatted by the Taohuaxi at the entrance of the village, washed the clothes Nengwu had replaced, rubbed them a few times, sighed, and felt a little worried.

From a bone spirit in the workplace, she suddenly became the Yang family's child bride-in-law Chunjiao. Although she gained an extra life out of thin air, she was still young for almost a whole round, and Chunjiao's foundation was also good-except for her hands, which were a bit rough due to hard work, her delicate hands The waist, bulging chest, and the flesh covered by the clothes are also very white, and even the meticulously maintained self in the past can't compare to her.Lin Jiao, who only made money, was not happy at all.When she got here, all the skills she had in her previous life and all the tricks she had practiced in the workplace became worthless.To put it bluntly, she is like a waste, even capable of invisible martial arts than her.Apart from worrying about her parents and relatives, what worries her most now is how to keep her family's three acres of land from being encroached upon by her unscrupulous uncle's family.Today's Yang family is poor, but they still have a place to stay.If the land is gone, the roof tiles that cover her body will also be gone. The so-called natal family has no hope, and her end is to be kicked out.

Lin Jiao was absent-minded, and as soon as she let go of her hand, the clothes floated downstream along the stream.It has been raining for the past few days, and the water rushing down from the mountain was a little rushed, and it was swept away in a blink of an eye.

The clothes are Nengwu's, the rustic woven coarse cloth that country people can wear, with several patches on the elbows, and they look short on Nengwu who is just beginning to grow, but they are Nengwu's change of clothes, You can't just give it to the Dragon King.Lin Jiao stood up hurriedly, stepping on the rocks by the stream to chase after her.I didn't expect the water to flow too fast. When I caught up with him, I was already at a downstream corner near the foot of the mountain [-] meters away. The clothes were caught by a stream rock that came out of the water, and they were floating on the water.

Lin Jiao trotted all the way, panting, her chest heaving slightly.Without caring about anything else, he looked at the stone wrapped around his clothes, which was in the middle of the stream, out of reach.If you go into the water, firstly, it is estimated that the water depth will wet the clothes on your waist, and secondly, it is still early spring, and the water is a bit cold.Looking around, I saw a tree I don't know what it was on the bank of the corner of the stream more than a dozen steps away. A branch stretched out into the water, and when I folded it just right, I hurried to the side of the tree and folded the branch.Unexpectedly, the spring-haired branches had absorbed enough water and were as flexible as cowhide. Lin Jiao spent a lot of effort, and the white tendons were connected to each other, and she couldn't stop pulling.Seeing that the clothes were about to be washed away by the water again, Lin Jiao was a little anxious, she gritted her teeth and twisted vigorously.After twisting and turning, the tendon of the tree was about to be torn, and the tragedy happened again.She heard the "chug" snort of some unknown creature behind her, and subconsciously looked back, and was surprised to see an old horse with only a few tufts of mangy and dysentery hair crooked, sticking to the On the top of her head less than two centimeters away from the back of her head, a pair of eyes reflected half of her figure.

"chug……"

The old horse probably liked the female human who had finally stopped her work and looked back at her. To show her friendliness, she snorted again and pressed her face affectionately.

A burst of hot air that seemed to be filled with saliva and snot came to the back of Lin Jiao's neck.The hairs on Lin Jiao's body exploded in an instant, and with an ah sound, the person had already leaned back and fell into the stream with a plop.
