Chapter 1 Time Travel

The first brigade farthest from Huangjia Town is located in the north and backed by mountains and forests. In winter, the mountain fog lingers for a long time. It is extremely cold on snowy days. People can do nothing but stay at home during the winter.

At daybreak, the fourth team of the first brigade became the center of the thick fog because it was located at the foot of the mountain.

"It's hot, so hot..." Tao Qiuyi kicked off the quilt covering her body, and soon the quilt was covered back on her.

"Who is so wicked? I said I was hot, but you still covered me with a quilt. You want to kill me with the heat!" Tao Qiuyi opened his heavy eyelids angrily and met a pair of dark eyes, and then a handsome man's face came into view.

Thin lips, a high nose bridge, beautiful peach blossom eyes, so dark that they seem to be able to suck people in.

Ha, who is this person?

Where are you from?
Oh my! No matter where he came from, this handsome guy who looked exactly like her, she had to get to know him. It would be best if he could leave her contact information.

"Handsome guy, you..." Tao Qiuyi had just opened her mouth when she felt a sharp pain in her head, as if it was about to explode. She curled up and trembled, and then a lot of memories that did not belong to her flooded into her mind.

After receiving the memories that flashed by like a kaleidoscope, Tao Qiuyi felt like he was about to become autistic.

She has crossed over!
It's not a time travel to ancient times, but a time travel to the late 1970s after the liberation of China, a time when materials were severely scarce and many people were not well fed or clothed.

The original owner was named Huang Qiuyi. She was a villager of the fourth team of the first team in Huangjia Town. She just turned seventeen this year. She was not loved by her father, nor by her mother. She was bullied by her brothers and sisters, and her grandparents and other people in the Huang family treated her like a servant.

I do the most work and eat the least every day, I am worse off than animals, and my life is miserable.

The day before yesterday, the grandfather and granddaughter of the Tao family were sent to the village for labor reform for manslaughter. When Huang's mother Wang Chunjuan saw the daughter of the Tao family, she rushed over crying, grabbed the daughter's hand and called her daughter, then burst into tears and told the secret that she had hidden for seventeen years.

Seventeen years ago, she went back to her mother's home in town to get something. Because she walked too much, she had a miscarriage and gave birth to a daughter at her mother's home when she was more than seven months old. The neighbor next door also gave birth to a daughter, and her mother was asked to go next door to take care of her during the confinement period.

One day, her mother had to go home for an urgent matter, and the daughter next door was left unattended, so her mother had no choice but to bring the child home and ask her to take care of her. After she was done, her mother hurriedly took the child back next door.

A few days later the whole family next door moved out.

When she was bathing her daughter, she realized that the child had been taken away by the wrong person. She and her mother were terrified and did not dare to tell anyone. They could only secretly ask where the family next door had moved to, but no one knew. She cried in despair for several days and did not even take good care of herself after giving birth.

God was merciful and sent her daughter back to her seventeen years later. She insisted on getting her two children back no matter what.

Wang Chunjuan's explanation was convincing and well-reasoned. Furthermore, the Tao family's daughter's face did resemble Wang Chunjuan, while Huang Qiuyi's thin, unrecognizable face didn't resemble a member of the Huang family at all. The villagers all believed Wang Chunjuan and supported her decision to exchange the child. The rest of the Huang family also agreed, and they even invited the team leader and squad leader to be witnesses.

So, witnessed by the team leader, the squad leader and the villagers, the two seventeen-year-old girls exchanged their identities and future lives.

In this way, Huang Qiuyi was forced to change her name to Tao Qiuyi, and went from being an authentic law-abiding farmer to the granddaughter of a murderer who could be beaten and scolded by anyone at will.

In just one day, the original owner could not bear the drastic change in his identity and committed suicide by jumping into the river.

She, Tao Qiuyi, a freelancer from a parallel world, traveled through time and space to the original owner's body and survived. Why did she travel through time and space?

She was very happy because she accepted a mission with a reward of 10 million yuan and completed it very smoothly. However, she did not receive the reward of 10 million yuan, but was shot to death by the employer...

Don’t mention it, don’t mention it, otherwise she will become more withdrawn.

From the memories of the original owner, Tao Qiuyi knew that the man in front of him was Wei Jingyuan. He used to be a soldier. Two years ago, he retired due to a leg injury and returned to the First Brigade of Huangjia Town to work as a village doctor.

In the same year, his parents spent all of Wei Jingyuan's money after accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms, but they still couldn't save him, leaving behind a pair of twin siblings, a boy and a girl, to depend on Wei Jingyuan for survival.

"Are you okay?" came the man's deep voice.

Pausing his thoughts, Tao Qiuyi replied casually, "Not good, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and uncomfortable heat."

Suddenly, her stomach started churning. She quickly kicked off the quilt, turned over and lay on the kang to vomit, vomiting all over the floor. Perhaps because she had vomited out all the water in her stomach, she felt a lot more relaxed.

Raising his hand and wiping his mouth with his sleeve, Tao Qiuyi stretched out his limbs and lay down, stunned. This... the roof was made of straw and there was a hole in it.

A rough, calloused hand touched her forehead and then retracted in an instant. The sudden chill brought Tao Qiuyi back to her senses, but it was too fleeting.

"Spit out the water you drank yesterday, and you'll feel better. You feel hot because you have a fever." Wei Jingyuan finished speaking, reached out and picked up the bowl from the stone bedside table, and said to Tao Qiuyi, "Get up and drink the medicine. The fever will probably go away after a good night's sleep."

Sitting up obediently, Tao Qiuyi looked at the chipped bowl in his hand. The dark medicinal liquid in the bowl had no trace of heat, and it had obviously cooled down. The faint smell of Chinese medicine was not as strong as when it was hot. Frowning, he asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"

"Fever-reducing medicine." The low voice was filled with indifference, and Wei Jingyuan's face was even colder than his voice.

Is this... a fever-reducing medicine? Looking at the dark liquid in the bowl, Tao Qiuyi sighed inexplicably. Forget it. How could you expect a village doctor to prescribe such an accurate and appropriate medicine?

The fever was so uncomfortable that Tao Qiuyi pinched her nose and tilted her head back to drink up the medicine in the bowl. She stuffed the empty bowl into Wei Jingyuan's hand, lay down, pulled up the quilt to cover herself, and went to sleep, all in one go.

"Wei Jingyuan, you unfortunate thing, get out of here!" The shabby door slammed loudly, and curses spread. "You're such a rotten thing! You're lame, your parents are dead, and you still don't know how to stop. You're always causing trouble. When you see that idiot from the Huang family, everyone knows to avoid him, for fear of being contaminated by him."

"You just want to highlight your own uniqueness. Not only did you pull that stupid thing from the Huang family out of the water, you even brought it back home. Tell me, are you stupid? Are you mentally ill?"

"You damned cripple, you're such a pain in the ass. Two years ago, it wasn't just your leg that was injured, it was your brain as well. Otherwise, how could you do such a foolish thing? Let that idiot from the Huang family die. The sooner she dies, the sooner she'll be reborn. She'll be free sooner. She'll be smart and have a better life in her next life. It's definitely better than this one. Why are you bothering to save her?"

"The lame guy dared to act like a hero and go into the river to rescue people. Why did you get up? It would be better if you and that idiot from the Huang family drowned in the river together. It would save trouble for everyone. It would be better if this disgraceful thing died, so that I don't have to feel upset watching it, and it will also implicate other members of my Wei family."

Hearing the shouting and cursing, Tao Qiuyi suddenly sat up from the quilt.

The guy who keeps calling her "stupid" is probably scolding her, right?
