Quick Transmigration: Always Just a Passerby

Chapter 176 During the Ancient Escape, Do Not Disturb 1

After receiving the memories of this body, Jiang Ping opened his eyes before the original owner's three children could even cry.

Otherwise, these three kids would probably go dig a hole and bury people.

The original owner, Zhou Fengping, is from Wangshan Village. He is currently 32 years old, and his ancestors for three generations have all made a living by farming.

These are bad years with lots of forced labor; life is just a struggle.

After natural disasters and man-made calamities, only he, his two sons Zhou Tian and Zhou Mai, and his elder brother's nephew Zhou Gu survived in the Zhou family.

Deaths from exhaustion, illness, drowning, eating Guanyin clay to death, and those who went looking for food never returning...

Anyway, there are many poor people in the world, and they die in all sorts of ways.

The original owner's elder brother died from overwork last January. His sister-in-law, Liu Fang, sold herself and left a small bag of rice with the Zhou family. After that, she went with the main family.

The eldest sister-in-law is still alive and has given birth to two daughters for the family.

The original owner's wife, Lin Qiuniang, was a missing person; she disappeared two years ago on her way back to her parents' home.

The original owner knew nothing.

I asked my in-laws, but they couldn't find her. We searched for half a month but still couldn't find her.

He even suspected that his wife might have run off with some merchant caravan or rich young master.

After all, Lin Qiuniang kept talking about how so-and-so had returned home in glory.

They also felt that running away with someone was better than being kidnapped.

The original owner didn't look for anyone else after that, as she still had two children to take care of at home.

Well, after checking, it turns out that Lin Qiuniang eloped with her distant cousin.

The reason for their elopement was that her respectable cousin said there were good business opportunities outside.

Lin Qiuniang knew the original owner wouldn't agree, so she could only try to persuade her cousin to take her along, to see what kind of business it was and whether it would cost her her head.

When she arrived, she discovered that her cousin had tricked her into going to a brothel in the prefectural city.

Upon learning the truth, Lin Qiuniang had no choice but to take the initiative and reluctantly sold her relative into the Nanfeng Brothel.

The female manager of Weiyue Pavilion noticed that she resembled an old friend, so she kept her there.

After following the female manager for a while, Lin Qiuniang discovered that there were both men and women here, and they didn't do prostitution. They mainly performed songs, dances, and musical pieces that she couldn't understand, so Lin Qiuniang gave up the idea of ​​returning to the village.

It's obvious that she won't get away with going back like this.

Lin Qiuniang was lively and got along well with the female manager. She was well taken care of in Weiyue Pavilion. Except for not being able to learn foreign dances, it would be an exaggeration to say that she was completely transformed.

I doubt even her biological father and stepmother would recognize her.

Last August, Lin Qiuniang used her savings to hire two fierce-looking thugs from Weiyue Pavilion, and borrowed the female manager's carriage to pretend to be a nobleman passing by the Zhou family in Wangshan Village, asking for water.

Only the skinny youngest son of the Zhou family was present. After the thug finished drinking the water, he did as Lin Qiuniang had instructed and gave her ex-husband's family some dry food and snacks, as well as a few silver coins and gold melon seeds.

By the time the original owner returned home, the carriage had already left.

A slight sense of unease crossed his mind, but the unexpected benefit pushed it out.

The other kids wouldn't think that much about it.

This is also because the Zhou family's houses are far away from other people's houses, making it easier to operate.

Otherwise, no matter how much you give, you'll still suffer disaster.

That's a bit of a tangent.

In his previous life, the original owner of this body fled with three others, hoping to reach the City of Hope that Zhou Shusheng had mentioned, but in the end, he was the only one left.

He chose to commit suicide while holding the remains of the last doll.

So the new quest taker has been brought in, and we hope that the new quest taker will take the three children to Hope City and live a good life with favorable weather.

While we're at it, let's find my sister-in-law and daughter-in-law and make sure they're settled in a good place.

Zhou, a scholar in the village, was a good man. He told the villagers about the direction and situation of the city, but his fellow villagers, who were jealous of him, reported him to the county government for a reward and he was burned alive.

The task leader should also give him a heads-up.

Ok?

Hope City? That sounds like a post-apocalyptic base.

Tongzi shook his head.

"The city lord is a socially awkward individual from the post-apocalyptic world. He transmigrated with a superpower: a shelter that brings good weather and abundant harvests to his territory... The Weiyue Pavilion, where the original owner's wife worked, was opened by him..."

"This little world is an evolution of the 'Ancient Native Female Protagonist's Journey to Wealth and the Accomplishment of a Prince' story. After the female protagonist, Tao Li, gets married, she is killed by the prince's women. The prince rebels and ascends the throne, passing it on to his true love's son. The female protagonist's halo dissipates, causing continuous natural disasters."

"True love is the prince's female bodyguard..."

"We can use an item to reduce the severity of the natural disaster..."

"Once the female lead is reborn, the halo will automatically return to her and be upgraded to other halo types."

"Hopefully, the city lord is a bug in the system; no new female or male lead can get past him..."

"The new female lead is a reincarnation of the original female lead, exiled with her disabled husband, the male lead. They might eventually rebel, depending on whether the female lead supports them; it feels a bit uncertain..."

*

Lying on the haystack to rest, Zhou Fengping's eyes were vacant from Tongzi's words.

Has Tao Li stirred up a rebellion?

Does the world's consciousness know that its own daughter is so unlucky? She's constantly forced to endure the hardships of starting a business.

Zhou Gu was worried about his second uncle, so he kept his younger cousin Zhou Mai by his side to watch over him.

In case this person is really gone without us noticing.

Zhou Tian brought over a bowl of tree bark water; the tree bark and water were both found by the original owner early that morning.

You can still see mud in the water. Zhou Fengping took it, closed his eyes, and ate half of it.

"Datian, there's still half a bowl left; you three brothers can share it."

"I understand, Father..."

Zhou Mai was younger, and her lips curled up when she heard her father's words.

The same applies to Zhou Gu.

This means that his second uncle is still willing to help him make a living.

...

The original owner's sister-in-law's family was also struggling to make ends meet.

Many servants were dismissed, and Liu Fang and the two little girls were sent to the brothels of the prefectural city.

Everyone in Weiyue Pavilion was packing their luggage, clearly having received news that they were leaving, with Hope City as their destination.

After asking Zhou Fengping, Xiao Yi led Lin Qiuyue over.

Sure enough, Lin Qiuyue, using the reputation of Weiyue Pavilion, bought her sister-in-law and two little girls at a low price.

The people in Weiyue Pavilion were used to seeing women being sold back and forth, so no one bothered to inquire too much.

Having completed a small part of the mission, Xiao Yi still needs to escort them to Hope City.

After thinking about it, she disguised herself as an old woman.

She was the kind of rough, unskilled woman you see most often on this street.

After adjusting her facial expressions, the 1.5-meter-tall Granny Yi appeared online.

She "shyly" knocked on the door of Weiyue Pavilion and spoke before the group of thugs could.

"Brave warrior, I...I can kill a pig with one punch. Can you hire me to do some work? You won't believe me, just watch..."

Grandma Yi muttered to herself as she used her strength to lift the stone block.

The female shopkeeper happened to be looking out the window on the second floor.

Upon seeing this, he pointed at the person with his fan, signaling the thugs to bring the person over.

Grandma Yi was happy.

He put down the stone block, rubbed his hands together, and kept thanking the brave man.

His old face looked more wrinkled than a flower.

He went upstairs and told the female shopkeeper a lie: the old man had died, his son had married into the family, and he was going to stay with relatives.

It doesn't matter whether people believe it or not.

Anyway, another old woman was added to the list of people evacuated from Weiyue Pavilion.

Zhou Fengping struggled to survive in the village with his three children, while Grandma Yi spent her days making a fool of herself in the convoy.

The female shopkeepers all regretted that Granny Yi hadn't been born a few decades earlier.
