Chapter 1 Traveling through troubled times

"Guru——"

"Brother, Niu Niu is so hungry!"

"Niu Niu hold on for a while. When my father and Uncle Tie come back later, Niu Niu will have something to eat! Niu Niu, drink a little water first!"

In a deserted temple hall, a thin boy with a fifteen or six-year-old face was sitting on a pile of hay, untied a bamboo tube from his waist and pulled the lid, and fed a sip of water to a seven- or eight-year-old girl in his arms. Then the boy also took a sip of water. However, a sip of water did not weaken the hunger in the teenager and the little girl's belly. The little girl was very obedient and did not call her hunger again.

The boy and the little girl were wearing dirty and worn cotton coats, and there were even many places where the cotton wool inside was exposed. A short blade without a scabbard was inserted between the boy's waist. A trace of cold light was reflected under the bonfire in the center of the hall.

Next to the boy and the little girl, more than 20 people were sitting in the hall of this abandoned temple, surrounding the bonfire to keep warm. These more than 20 people were basically women and children. Like the boy and the little girl, they were also dressed in a good manner and were exhausted. The clothes they wore were even worse than those of the boy and the little girl. They were all in a mess. Except for the boy, they were barely considered a male, there were no other young men in the hall.

The children in the hall never stopped crying because of hunger, and the mothers of the children had nothing to eat except comforting them with words.

Looking at the crying child in the hall, Liu Ji felt extremely anxious. His father Liu Hao and Uncle Tie had taken four other young men out to find food for at least two hours. I don’t know what happened and haven’t come back yet. If he meets bandits or bandits, then... Liu Ji doesn’t even dare to think about it.

Half a month ago, Liu Ji was not Liu Ji, or his body was not his current body. Liu Ji was originally an otaku who was scattered and waited for death. Liu Ji, who was already in his thirties, had no job. His only income came from a small store left for him in downtown Shanghai before his parents died in a car accident.

Although the small store is not large and only has more than 20 square meters, the monthly rent is enough to allow Liu Ji to live a very good life in the big city of Shanghai.

In addition, his parents also left Liu Ji a house of more than 70 square meters in downtown Shanghai, which gave Liu Ji the capital to live a lively life of a oubi after graduating from university. During this period, he had been intimate with him more than a dozen times through introductions from others. Unfortunately, either he looked down on Liu Ji or Liu Ji looked down on him, so the word "single" can be added to the oubi.

In fact, after graduating from a third-rate university, Liu Ji still found several jobs, but in the end he was either hyped by the company or he hyped the company.

Afterwards, Liu Ji thought about it and found that with his diploma from a third-rate university, it was really difficult to find an ideal job in Shanghai, a big city. If you want to do business, you have to pay a lot of money if you don’t know how to do it. It’s better to rely on the store left by your parents and wait for rent every month, which is a guaranteed income for drought and flood.

So Liu Ji stopped looking for a job and began to live a life of an otaku. Every day, he would eat and sleep in addition to playing games and reading novels. If he followed the standards of an otaku, Liu Ji would definitely deserve his name.

That day, an online battle game that Liu Ji had always played was updated in a system. When he was bored, Liu Ji randomly clicked out a strategic web game. As a result, Liu Ji just clicked out the game screen, and the computer screen that spent more than 10,000 yuan to configure suddenly exploded for no reason. Liu Ji only felt that his eyes had become a brief darkening, and when he opened his eyes again, he became Liu Ji in this world.

Liu Ji is very unlucky in this world. He is not sick or disaster-free, but he is just hungry. He is occupied by someone in his sleep, allowing Liu Ji, an otaku in another time and space, to occupy his body and plunder all his memories.

Liu Ji's memory in this world is not simply overlapping with the memory of the otaku Liu Ji, but it exists in Liu Ji's mind like a backup. Liu Ji can check this retained memory at any time.

The retained memory made Liu Ji immediately confirm that he became a member of the time travel army. His name has not changed and he is still a teenager younger. However, his identity is a 16-year-old disaster victim who is fleeing with his father and his own sister!

Looking at the memories of the young man Liu Ji, the otaku Liu Ji had a general understanding of the world. This is a world similar to ancient China. Although the language spoken in Chinese and the words used are traditional Chinese, this is definitely not a dynasty in China. Even Liu Ji can be sure that the world he is in is definitely not on the earth, otherwise two moons would not appear at night at the same time!

The country where Liu Ji is currently in is called the Great Jin Dynasty. It has been more than 400 years since its founding. It has a vast territory, thousands of miles apart from north to south, east and west. It was once the most powerful country in the east of the world. Unfortunately, it declined. In the past decade, natural disasters and man-made disasters have combined, making the treasury of the Great Jin Dynasty empty, and rebellions have continued in various places. The border troops stationed on the border even became a problem for food. A large number of border soldiers chose to be deserters and fled to the hinterland of the Great Jin Dynasty and hid their names. What's more, some of them directly turned into bandits wandering around.

Bandits have become the biggest stubborn disease of the Great Jin Dynasty. There are at least dozens of bandits in various places, and at most tens of thousands of them. They flew everywhere and did everything they wanted to do, and they rage in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty like locusts.

At this time, the number of bandits in the Great Jin Dynasty was at least several million, which was only considered as the young and strong men among the bandits. If the old, young, women and children were involved, the number of bandits would have expanded several times. Moreover, as the situation in the Great Jin Dynasty became more and more turbulent, the number of bandits was still growing rapidly.

To make matters worse, the nomadic peoples in the north also took advantage of the weak power of the Great Jin Dynasty to invade the Great Jin Dynasty on a large scale, robbing property and population. The best result of the people of the Great Jin Dynasty who were abducted by the nomadic people was to become slaves. If it were women, their fate would be even more miserable.

The twenty-four prefectures of the Great Jin Dynasty were close to Qianzhou, Pizhou, Qinzhou and Xiangzhou in the north. Many areas had become hunting grounds for the nomadic peoples in the north. Many important towns on the border were almost useless, and some important towns on the border had even fallen into the hands of aliens. It can be said that the Great Jin Dynasty was in a storm at this time, and its rule was already shaky.

There were hundreds of nomadic peoples on the northern grasslands of the Great Jin Dynasty and were collectively called Hu people by the Great Jin Dynasty.

Liu Ji's hometown, Wanzhou, is still separated from the grasslands of the northern nomadic peoples, and has not been harmed by the Hu cavalry. However, Wanzhou has suffered a severe drought for three consecutive years. Liu Ji's family is a small landlord in the local area, and there is still some family background. Even if there is no harvest for three years, it is not as good as food.

Unfortunately, a bandit of tens of thousands of people suddenly broke into Liu Ji's hometown. Liu Ji's father Liu Hao had to take Liu Ji and Liu Ji's sister Liu Niu Niu, as well as his loyal servant Liu Tie, to leave the family business of Pingyuan County, Dongchang County, Wanzhou, and follow the fleeing crowd to flee to Yongzhou in the south. If you continue to stay in your hometown, let alone the family business, you will not even be able to protect your life unless Liu Ji's family joins the bandits.

Liu Ji's mother Chen Min died of illness a few years ago, but Liu Ji's mother's family still has some influence in Qi County, Changping County, Yongzhou. In addition, Yongzhou is located in the central part of the Jin Dynasty. Although it has been affected by drought in recent years, the locals can basically survive, so Liu Hao, who has no way out, is preparing to take Liu Ji's brother and sister to temporarily defect to the family of his deceased wife.

Each prefecture in the Great Jin Dynasty had several counties or more than a dozen counties under its jurisdiction, and there were several counties, prefectures, counties and counties below each county, forming three levels of administrative regions of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The way Liu Ji's family fled south was not so easy to walk. Along the way, those who had fled along the way had already eaten almost everything they could eat. In some places, even the bark of the tree was stripped naked, and they also faced the threat of bandits and bandits along the way. Even other fleeing crowds also needed to be prepared.

Originally, there were more than 70 people who fled, all from Liu Ji's village, and many of them were tenants of the Liu Ji family. However, after just two months of fleeing, the number of people had been reduced by more than half before they even left the territory of Wanzhou. Basically, all the losses were caused by a small group of bandits.

Their food had already been exhausted. If Liu Hao and Liu Tie had not hunted some prey along the way, their group of victims might have starved to death long ago, but there were not many preys that could be caught along the way. Liu Ji only ate a few small pieces of rabbit meat in the past two days, which might not have been eight taels.

But even if there is so much meat, Liu Ji is already one of the two people who get the most rabbit meat among the fugitives. The other one who gets the most rabbit meat is Liu Niu Niu. After all, Liu Ji and Liu Niu Niu Niu's father Liu Hao are the leaders selected by this fugitive.

Liu Ji touched his cramped belly, and a look of gloomy expression appeared on his face. In his original time and space, he was just an otaku who was waiting to die. He didn't know which god he had offended, so he got himself here. It would be fine if he got it here, but he would have a stronger identity!

"Young Master Liu, you... come and take a look. Old Xu... Old Xu seems to be unable to do it!" A middle-aged woman in the temple hall suddenly shouted to Liu Ji in panic.

Liu Ji turned his head and saw that the village carpenter Lao Xu was lying next to the fire, his eyes closed and his face pale. Next to him was a panicked middle-aged woman named Wang Jinfeng, who was a widow in the village.

After Liu Ji came over, he had seen dead people, but he would avoid them after taking a look from a distance. However, at this time, only Liu Ji was barely considered a male man in the hall. Liu Ji bit his teeth and put his sister Liu Niu Niu on the hay. "Niu Niu, brother, go and take a look at Grandpa Xu, sit by yourself and don't move around."

"Brother, Niu Niu is afraid, is Grandpa Xu dead?"

"Don't be afraid, there's my brother here! Grandpa Xu may be... so hungry that he fell asleep."

Liu Ji walked to the carpenter Lao Xu's side, and pointed his finger at Lao Xu's nostril. Without Liu Ji's expectations, he did not breathe anymore, but Liu Ji's face showed an extremely shocked expression. Just as Liu Ji put his finger under Lao Xu's nostril, a sound suddenly came from his mind.

"Absorb 1 soul value!"
