Chapter 189 Miss, Let’s Escape from Marriage!
When Zhi Nian opened her eyes, she was surrounded by icy cold water. Only her head was exposed on the shore, while the rest of her body was still soaked in the river.
Zhi Nian's whole body was numb and he couldn't feel the cold.
She supported her heavy body with her frozen white hands and looked at the surrounding environment.
This was a riverside in the wild. There was still light snow falling from the sky. Her thin clothes were soaked and stuck to her body, turning into ice.
Zhi Nian struggled for just a moment and stood up, and found the nearest dilapidated temple according to the map given as a reward last time.
Zhi Nian's face turned pale and purple, with snowflakes growing higher and higher on his eyelashes.
But she had no time to care about that at the moment, and picked up firewood and straw behind the ruined temple.
The system helped to light a fire, and Zhi Nian found a broken iron pot, put a few handfuls of snow in it, and then put it on the fire to roast.
After doing all this stiffly, Zhi Nian was already exhausted. Her stomach was rumbling at the moment and she was breathing heavily, bringing up bursts of white mist.
Zhi Nian carefully took off his frozen clothes, then set them up on a fire to dry, and sat farther away to warm himself.
Don't get too close at the beginning, otherwise you may not want this leather anymore.
Zhi Nian was sitting not too far away and saw the red cloth hanging on the body of the God of Land. It was obviously hung by the local people during the Spring Festival not long ago.
Zhi Nian bowed several times in front of the God of Land, "Grandpa Land, I'm in trouble right now, so I'll borrow it for now. I'll return it to you when I have the conditions."
Then he rudely pulled off the red cloth and wrapped it around himself.
The altar had obviously been wiped by someone. There were a few plates on it, which must have been taken away by beggars. Now it was empty.
Around the Spring Festival, beggars no longer want to stay in this deserted and dilapidated temple. The city seems to be quite lively.
She also has to go into the city tomorrow, so she has to think of a way to get through this difficult time.
Zhi Nian thought so and turned his head to look at the tattered clothes that were dripping with water.
He looked away and lowered his head, thinking about moving the straw over to the fire so that he could sleep better later.
'Boom! '
A slightly dull sound was heard, Zhi Nian looked down and saw that it was a dry biscuit!
Zhi Nian held the straw in one hand and bent down to pick up the palm-sized dry biscuit.
"God has not let me down. Today is another day of immortality!"
Thinking that it fell on the ground and no one noticed, she wiped it casually on her body, then put the pancake in her mouth and made the place where she would sleep tonight.
After adding a few pieces of firewood, the fire grew bigger. The dim, flickering light of the flames shone on Zhi Nian's little face, which was eerily calm.
Zhi Nian took a bite of the cake that was as hard as a rock. The water in the pot was already boiling. He lifted up one ear of the iron pot on the fire with a wooden stick, took it off the fire, and put it aside to dry.
I haven't experienced such a hard life for a long time, and I'm still a little uncomfortable.
Zhi Nian thought to himself and called the system.
"Please tell me about the origin of this world's original owner!"
System: Yes, host.
The original owner of this world, 'Zhi Nian', was born in a family that favored boys over girls.
The Zhi family has three older brothers and two younger brothers. The original owner had never had enough food or warm clothes at home since he was a child.
She knew her situation and had always been tolerant, not daring to say a word when bullied by her brothers and sisters.
The original owner's family was not wealthy. During the Spring Festival, they bought some pork and fried the pork residue to get a can of oil.
Everyone in the family went out to visit relatives, leaving only the eldest brother and the original owner at home.
The original owner did all the housework, including feeding the chickens, cutting grass for the pigs, washing clothes and cooking for his lazy elder brother.
But the original owner's cooking skills were not good, and the eldest brother was so greedy that he drank all the oil in the house and ate up all the oil residue when the original owner went out to collect grass for pigs.
When the original owner's father and mother came back, the lazy eldest brother turned the tables and complained, saying that the original owner had eaten it because of his greed.
The original owner was severely beaten, and her mother even locked her up, saying that she would learn a lesson this time.
When the original owner was locked in the small dark room, he heard everything his mother and father said.
After this winter, I will marry her to Ermaizi, a lame man from the next village, and then use the bride price to help my eldest brother get married.
The original owner knew that her father and mother were partial and never cared about her, but at least she was a member of this family!
How could they do this!
And the original owner's elder brother actually put all those things on himself.
All the hardships she had endured over the years, coupled with what her elder brother had done, were like a heavy feather weighing heavily on her parents' mind when they decided to marry her off to the lame-legged Ermaizi.
The pressure made the original owner breathless, and his physical injuries were not treated, and he was locked up for several days without food.
Finally, the original owner closed his eyes amid the lively dinner.
The thin body was curled up on the tattered straw mat without even a quilt.
Not long after, he was discovered by his younger brother who came out to pee after dinner. The whole family was there and he saw that the original owner was no longer angry.
Before it got completely dark, he threw the original owner into the river.
They were even reluctant to wrap the original owner with a straw mat.
When I opened my eyes again, it was the current Zhi Nian.
Zhi Nian had seen too much suffering and hardship, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
The system said again; 'The original owner hopes to have enough food and warm clothes in the future.'
Zhi Nian lowered her head, making it impossible to see the emotions in her eyes.
She said, "Having enough food and warm clothes is good, this is probably the happiness she wants most."
Random Thoughts paused for a moment and continued, "The original owner's other families didn't look very good either. They watched their sister being thrown into the river with their own eyes."
The system knew what Zhi Nian meant, and it said; 'Not to mention the original owner's parents and eldest brother, the remaining two older brothers and two younger brothers are indeed not good people.
One of the two elder brothers watched and did nothing, while the other teacher bullied the original owner in private. The two younger brothers also took away all the food the original owner had. They didn't treat the original owner as their sister at all.'
When the system finished speaking, Zhi Nian could hear the indignation in the mechanical voice.
Zhi Nian nodded, swallowed the last bite of the biscuit with the slightly hot water, and finished the water.
She said, 'That's easy, I won't show mercy.'
System alarm bells are ringing!!!
'Host, what are you going to do?'
Zhi Nian covered himself with straw and said, "You will know tomorrow."
The system felt uneasy, but when it saw that Zhi Nian had closed his eyes, it stopped talking and remained alert to its surroundings.
When the fire is about to go out, help add a few more flames.
Seeing that Zhi Nian fell asleep, it carefully input energy into Zhi Nian's body.
The original owner's health was too poor, and he had been soaking in the river for so long, he would definitely catch a cold and have a fever tonight.
With its energy, things will be much better.
In his sleep, Zhi Nian's brows slowly relaxed.
