Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1230 New World

"Little system, please tell the main system not to seal my memories anymore. I want to temper my heart in the mortal world." Shi Jia lay on the recliner, slowly digesting the emotions from the previous world.

Because in the previous world, she actively adapted to the identity of an elderly person and actively adopted the mindset of an elderly person.

So, apart from her appearance, she is actually an elderly person at heart.

Time has meaning because of the myriad aspects of life, so she cannot erase memories. What she needs to do is process emotions and summarize what she has learned.

The smaller system was very fast. "Host, the main system has agreed, but all of your abilities will be sealed, including all the knowledge you possess, your ability to control your emotions, and even your clear thinking."

"In addition, the main system also requires that all choices made by the host must conform to the behavioral logic of the principal."

Shi Jia frowned upon hearing this. Sealing abilities were a minor issue; the real problem was that it had to "align with the client's behavioral logic," which was the difficult part.

For example, in the previous world, according to Li Xiaohua's behavior logic, she didn't recognize herbs, so Shi Jia couldn't use herb gathering to accumulate her first pot of gold, nor could she quickly return to school and obtain student status, etc.

She thought that if she followed Li Xiaohua's logic completely, she would probably have to struggle in Xinghua Village for at least two or three years before she could get a chance.

"Host, the main system said this is the price," the smaller system added.

Shi Jia nodded upon hearing this. "Okay, I agree."

After resting for five days in the mission space, Shi Jia fully processed the emotions from the previous world and then had the small system start a new mission.

……

"Run! The barbarians are coming! Run!"

A muffled sound rang in her ears, and Shi Jia felt dizzy, as if her soul was bound by chains, unable to move. Only the warmth on her back brought her peace of mind.

Her body, however, reflexively started running.

"There's a forest ahead, split up and run! Hide!" someone shouted.

Shi Jia felt her vision becoming increasingly blurry, and suddenly, her legs went weak...

"Sister-in-law! Be careful!" came two childish voices.

Sister-in-law? Who?
Before Shi Jia fainted, this thought came to her mind.

In her hazy state of consciousness, she received a fragmented memory. The client's name was Li Yunniang, who had lived in Lijia Village, Feng County since childhood. She had many siblings and was the fourth child, also known as Fourth Sister.

Li Yunniang married Wang Tieniu from the neighboring Wangjiazhuang village when she was fifteen. Wang Tieniu was the eldest son in his family, with two younger siblings, Wang Tieshan and Wang Tiehua.

A year after her marriage, she gave birth to a son, Wang Xiaoniu. With fertile land in the Wang family and a son to rely on, Li Yunniang lived a very happy life.

But fate had other plans. A severe drought struck, and the fields yielded no harvest. To make matters worse, the northern barbarians invaded, and the imperial court conscripted soldiers. Wang Tieniu and his father-in-law were both taken into the army.

With two strong laborers suddenly gone from the family, life became even harder.

With their food supplies dwindling and no harvest from the fields, and everything edible on the mountain consumed, the people of Wangjiazhuang had no choice but to flee south in search of a way to survive.

Even more unfortunately, the imperial court suffered a defeat in the war against the northern barbarians, and the northern barbarian army directly occupied the northern territory. Furthermore, they continued to send troops south, burning, killing, and looting.

The Wang family's troops unfortunately ran into the barbarian soldiers. Li Yunniang fell and broke her head while fleeing. She encountered the main system just as she was about to die.

She made a wish to the main system to find a suitable place to live and raise her son, Zhang Da.

"Don't worry, I will fulfill your wish," Shi Jia promised Li Yunniang.

……

"Shh, don't speak!" Wang Tieshan whispered.

Wang Tiehua, standing beside him, bit her lip tightly, afraid to move. Through the dry bushes, the two watched as the barbarian soldiers grinned and dragged away someone they recognized.

She was also covering her nephew Wang Xiaoniu's mouth with one hand.

Watching them walk further and further away, Wang Tiehua collapsed to the ground like a deflated doll. "Keep your voice down, those barbarians are cunning." Twelve-year-old Wang Tieshan's expression was unusually resolute.

Wang Tiehua nodded cautiously. She then looked at her unconscious sister-in-law and her weak, crying nephew in her arms.

She wanted to cry, but she was too weak to. "Brother, what do we do?"

My mother died three days ago, and today my sister-in-law hit her head and broke it; I don't know how many days she has left to live. And then there's my little nephew…

Woohoo...

Wang Tiehua cried silently.

"Hmm~"

"Who!" Wang Tieshan was startled and hurriedly looked around, but saw no one.

"Brother, sister-in-law has woken up!" Wang Tiehua's voice was filled with joy.

Wang Tieshan quickly looked over and saw that the person on the ground had opened their eyes. "Sister-in-law?"

Shi Jia's vision gradually cleared. "Tieshan, Tiehua. I'm alright."

"That's great, sister-in-law, you're awake!" Wang Tiehua rushed over to Shi Jia.

"Tiehua, it's alright, your sister-in-law is here!" Shi Jia reached out and patted her shoulder, but her eyes kept looking around.

This was clearly a thicket of bushes, and there was no one else around besides them. It was obvious that they had been helped here by the two siblings.

These two siblings are good; even while on the run, they didn't forget their unconscious sister-in-law.

Wang Tieshan thought she was looking for people from Wangjiazhuang, and he said with shame, "Sister-in-law, we got separated from the others."

"It's alright, as long as we're all alive." Shi Jia shook her head.

"Tiehua, help me up." The most important thing now is to find something to eat. Fortunately, Li Yunniang grew up in the mountains and knew a lot of wild vegetables, and even some herbs for bruises and sprains.

"it is good."

The three of them had very little food left in their baskets, only a small handful of millet, which they were going to use to make rice porridge for Wang Xiaoniu.

All that was left were a few thin clothes, a sickle, three broken bowls, and an earthenware pot.

Fearing being discovered by the barbarians, Shi Jia and his group walked into the mountains for another half an hour.

There was nothing to eat in the mountains. Wang Tieshan and Wang Tiehua searched for a long time but only found a small handful of wild vegetables. Luckily, they found a mountain spring.

Shi Jia chopped up the wild vegetables and cooked a pot of wild vegetable porridge with millet.

"Sister-in-law, this is for the calf!" Wang Tieshan kept swallowing as he smelled the rich aroma of the vegetable porridge.

Wang Tiehua, standing nearby, chimed in, "Yes, sister-in-law, what will Xiao Niu eat tomorrow?"

Shi Jia waved her hand, "After we finish eating, we'll go find something to eat together. We're sure to find something to eat in this big mountain."

Having not experienced hunger for a long time, Shi Jia could no longer bear the feeling of emptiness in her body. The sensation of fainting at any moment was simply unbearable.

She suddenly regretted not trying to persuade the main system to retain some of her memories. Otherwise, given her reputation as a walking encyclopedia of plants, she wouldn't have had to worry about finding food.

Perhaps because they were too hungry, the two were quickly persuaded by Shi Jia and gulped down a bowl of vegetable porridge.

"Have another bowl," Shi Jia said.

“No need, save it for dinner,” Wang Tieshan refused.

"Two bowls each." Shi Jia didn't give him a chance to refuse, and directly took his bowl and filled it with water.
