My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 198: Killing back
Cheng Xu couldn't help but smile. "Alright then."

“Father, what the Sixth Miss said is true. Having more people can help you run errands.”

"Thank you, young lady. Thank you, sir. Thank you, young master." The man who was called out ran happily to the Cheng family's side.

Madam Chi, her pregnant belly prominent, pointed to another young couple and waved her hand magnanimously, "Then you two come and help me with some chores. Work hard, and you can earn points together in the future."

The couple was equally overjoyed.

Although I don't understand what points are yet, I feel it's a good thing.

The remaining seventeen or eighteen grown men who weren't chosen were all crying uncontrollably.

Xie Ninglan couldn't bear to look at her in such a miserable state.

"Alright. Stop crying, it's not a big deal. From now on, you can follow behind Zhoujia Village and pick up things from the ruins like they do. You won't starve to death."

"Alright, let's get going. How long will it take to leave if we keep dragging our feet?" Xin Wenyuan waved his hand. "Stop dawdling. We still have to detour to the abandoned lake ahead today."

Wu Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to chase after Xin Wenyuan to talk, but the latter didn't even look at him and turned away.

Enraged, Wu Zheng turned and slapped Wu Menyuan across the face, saying, "This is all your doing."

He pointed to Aunt Liu, who was holding a child and looked pale, next to Wu Menyuan, and said, "You divorced the Xin family girl because of this prostitute. Let's see how you get out of this mess."

Wu Menyuan covered his face, staring at his father in disbelief. "Father, you hit me? You agreed to divorce her back then. Now it's all my fault?"

“Men Yuan, your father is also very anxious,” Madam Wu cried out. “If we run out of food and water, the whole family will die on the way.”

As she spoke, she gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Xin Wanqing, "This Xin family girl is truly heartless, she really doesn't care about the past relationship at all."

"She's just pretending." Wu Menyuan sneered, quite confident. "She used to be very obedient to me."

"How could a person change so much in just over a month?"

Mrs. Wu's eyes lit up.

"My son, do you mean that little slut actually wants to reconcile with you? But she's just too proud to admit it?"

"Of course." Wu Menyuan raised his dirty head. Although his hair was tangled in knots and he looked worse than a beggar, he was more confident than anyone else.

"She has been childless for many years and already feels guilty towards me. She's just too embarrassed to admit it right now. If I coax her for a few more days, she'll change her mind."

Wu Zheng glared at his son, "You'd better keep your word."

At this moment, Xin Nian was already standing with Xiao Jinzhi in front of the dilapidated ruins of the Binzhou Prefectural Governor's Mansion.

Fortunately, she had made a last-minute decision and set a marker here before leaving, so the point-to-point jump was very fast.

"It's filthy, I'll go downstairs and take care of it. You stay upstairs and wait for me." Xiao Jinzhi frowned; he could smell the rancid odor from a distance.

Xin Nian chuckled and leaned closer to him, "Your Highness, speaking of this, you're all filthy. Do you have some secret? You haven't bathed for days, but you don't smell like everyone else."

As she spoke, she kept sniffing around him, acting like a lecherous man.

Xiao Jinzhi was caught off guard by the girl's antics. He tilted his head back, his ears burning slightly.

"Have you been secretly taking a bath somewhere?" But she didn't seem to have seen him leave the group.

"I, I..." Xiao Jinzhi hurriedly grabbed her restless hand, his phoenix eyes widening slightly, "I used it, Time Reversal."

"Huh?" Xin Nian looked at the person in front of her as if he were a little monster, with a funny expression that said, "What kind of fantasy are you talking about?"

Xiao Jinzhi couldn't help but laugh at her expression. "I used time rewind to bring my...state back to a certain point. Something like that."

Xin Nian opened her mouth wide.

This guy is absolutely a genius!
Is this how time reversal is used? Huh?

"So you can stay clean for your whole life without taking a bath."

"No!" Xiao Jinzhi quickly retorted, "I'm not that dirty. I used to bathe and burn incense every day, I was exceptionally clean." Xin Nian tried hard to suppress her laughter, her face showing a strange expression.

"When we first met, you must have been only fourteen or fifteen years old, right?" You must have been a handsome young boy.

"Was it at Ya Yun Lou that we first met?"

The crown prince shook his head. "No."

"what?"

"It must have been about two months before the Ya Yun Lou incident. It was probably your first time climbing over the wall, and you didn't aim properly, so you jumped onto the roof of my carriage."

"The whole roof collapsed, and you almost sat on my head!"

Xin Nian: ...

No, is she here to be funny?

Xin Nian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Sorry."

Xiao Jinzhi glanced at her embarrassedly, "I'm the one who should apologize. I had only recently returned to the capital at the time, and I thought I had run into an assassin, so I even got into a fight with you."

"I won?"

"Hmm." Xiao Jinzhi nodded with a smile, "We became friends after a fight. After that, you often sneaked into the palace to sit with me on the roof, eating chicken legs and counting stars."

"If it weren't for your guidance back then, I might not have been able to get out of the shadows so quickly. I really have to thank you."

Xin Nian couldn't remember, and felt a vague sense of regret.

These are all her heroic deeds from the past.

"Unfortunately, I can't remember."

"What does it matter? Compared to everything that has happened before, we still have a long future ahead of us."

Xin Nian smiled, her eyes crinkling. "You're right. Let's go."

"Hey, wait a minute, don't go down."

"It's okay. Just wear your mask."

The two of them slipped down into the underground parking garage, and a foul smell hit them.

Without saying a word, Xin Nian pulled Xiao Jinzhi straight to the place where the grain had been stored. After knocking out the five burly men guarding the gate, they directly stored the grain in an isolated space on the farm.

She then sneaked into the small cellar where the king was staying. It was also the place where she had stayed for a few days with her maternal grandmother and aunt.

The king was very happy, surrounded by women on both sides.

One of the girls he was holding looked somewhat familiar to Xin Nian; she seemed to be the older sister surnamed Zhang.

Just as Xin Nian was about to make a move, a white streak flashed before her eyes, and Xiao Jinzhi had already dealt with her.

The two men released all the famine refugees they had captured and left some grain at the exit for the people to take as they pleased.

After finishing all that, they went back and added fuel to the fire in the little devil's den.

The moment the flames burst forth, several women, living in a drunken stupor and disheveled, rushed out of the small cave in a panic, jostling with a group of refugees to get out.

Some people recognized them as the "femme fatales" who brought ruin to the country, and killed them with a few blows of a hoe.

When the entire basement caught fire, the crowd scattered and fled in a noisy panic.

Xin Nian gazed at the underground vault that had vanished with the king, and sneered, "How pitiful. His imperial ambitions ended before they even began."

The two returned to the front of the group, and Xin Nian pretended to take out all the grain she had just looted from the farm, shouting, "Look what this is?"
