n“Steal, steal, steal, stealable, very steal. He steals, you steal, I steal, steal steal steal, everybody steals. One, two, three, four, all steal. Steal in the day, steal at night, every moment steal steal steal. I am stealing, I enjoy stealing. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, nonsense!”
nA young woman sitting in front of her PC humming a weird tune as she clicked her mouse with her right hand. Her large, round dark eyes stared intently at the farm on the computer screen.
nHer slender finger continued to click around her best friends farms. Rows and rows of flying harvest brought a sweet smile to her pretty face.
nEver since the launch of this farming game, many fans were crazy addicted. They steal vegetables during work, they steal after work. Some even set an alarm clock to wake up in the middle of the night just to steal. It got quite out of hand.
nDuring the recent years, there have been an abundance of new games, so less and less people continue to play these type of simple farming games. Cheng Xiao Xiao, however, never gave up her simple farm for other games.
nWhy? Because she misses her childhood where she spent in a farmland. Simple farming ch.o.r.es such as pulling weeds, collecting firewood, harvesting wheat, planting vegetables, she had done it all.
nNow she is a Chinese herbalist who had joined the workforce just two years ago. Her work is simple and she pa.s.sed her days happily. She works in the day time and stays home and read or play video games at night. She is what the society refers to as “homebody nerd”.
nRing ring ring!
nHer cellphone that has been sitting on the table started to ring. Cheng Xiao Xiao did not take her eyes off the monitor as she reached for her phone with her other hand. She, however, knocked over a gla.s.s of water and it spilled all over her cell phone.
nShe didn’t even realize any of this, but, all of a sudden, bright colorful light emanated from the phone. Cheng Xiao Xiao was finally aware of the accident and started turning her head toward her phone. She didn’t have any time to react before she was swallowed by the colorful light.
nCheng Xiao Xiao felt that the entire world was spinning, it was as though her soul was sucked into the Aurora borealis, and she lost consciousness….
nDafeng Country, Qing’an Province, Town Willow, and foothills of Mt. Wan’an.
n“Sis, Sis, wake up, Sis, wake up…..”
nA crisp, kid’s voice rang next to her ears, a groggy Cheng Xiao Xiao had a headache and felt that her head was swollen and about to explode. She struggled to lift her heavy eye-lids, but a sharp, bright light made her closed her eyes again.
n“Aiya, big sister is about to wake up! Big sister is about to wake up! Mom! Mom! Big sister is abot to wake up!”
nThe person next to her seemed to have noticed her abnormality, a voice full of happiness rang next to her ears again Cheng Xiao Xiao felt that they might be referring to her.
nBut, since when did she become someone’s big sister? She was quite sure she was a single child.
nBefore she was able to sort out what was going on, a cacophony of noises approached her. She heard a gentle and somewhat anxious voice, “Did Xiao Xiao really wake up? Her eyes are still close. Zheng Yuan, you are not lying to your own mother, are you?”
n“No, mom, big brother was not lying to you. Big sister really opened her eyes!” That voice sounded like it belonged to an even younger boy.
nCheng Xiao Xiao ignored the throbbing headache and opened her eyes again. This time she slowly got used to the bright light. When her eye sight met the few pairs of bright eyes looking her her, there was an exploding sound inside her head and her mind went blank.
nShe was stunned!
nShe was shocked beyond words!
nThere were three rugrats and a young woman standing in front of her, but that wasn’t the oddest thing. Why were they all wearing outfits from the past?!
n“Xiao Xiao, are you okay? Don’t scare your own mother. Tell me where are you not feeling well!”
nHer worried expression, her concerned voice, she sounded very sincere. Cheng Xiao Xiao sillily called her, “Mom, I….”
n“Big sister, how come you pa.s.sed out all of a sudden? Mom and us were truly scared!” A little boy around the age of twelve said to her.
nNext to him, there was another boy around ten standing in front of her. The youngest one who has yet to say a word was a little girl around seven or eight. You could tell they are siblings from their looks.
nWhat had happened?
nCheng Xiao Xiao was truly dumbfounded.
nInside her mind was a big mess. She didn’t feel right. Did she transmigrate?
n“Xiao Xiao, is your head still hurting? Do you want me to go get the doctor?”
nThe concerned questioning interrupted her thoughts, her looked closely at the fair-looking woman in front of her. Her concerned look made her feel warmth inside her heart, she couldn’t help but to say, “I… I am alright…”
n“Are you sure?” asked Mrs. Cheng, a bit hesitant.
n“Yeah… really… I am okay, mom. Just let me rest for a bit.”
nThe way she said “mom” was a bit awkward, but Mrs. Cheng hadn’t noticed. She just thought her oldest daughter was still hurt, she comforted her gently, “Okay, why don’t you rest for a bit, I’ll let you know when dinner is ready.”
n“Thanks, mom.”
n“Good girl, get some more rest. Let me know if you don’t feel well.”
n“Okay, I will.”
nMrs. Cheng noticed that Xiao Xiao looked like she was okay, she felt much better now though that did not relieve the frowning on her face. She barked order at the other kids, “Zheng Yuan, Zheng Bin, Lan Lan, go play outside. Let your sister sleep!”
nThe three kids turned around and left obediently so as to let their sister rest.
nOnce all the “family members” were gone, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t fall asleep at all. She looked around the room that she was in. This was the first time she noticed them.
nInside the room, other than the bed that she was lying on, there was a box, a table, a stool, and nothing else. All these three items look old and beat up. She could even seen the wall made out of mud and straws covering the roof of the house. Cheng Xiao Xiao was speechless.
nEven though she didn’t have memories of how she had gotten here. One thing she was sure was that this was not her home; this was not where she was from.
nShe had officially became a member of the transmigration army while playing QQ Farm.
nA few days later!
nA 16-year old kid wearing clothing made out of rough fiber, light brows, large eyes, slender pointy face. Not extremely beautiful, but still quite fair.
nCheng Xiao Xiao looked at her reflection on the water. She had became ten years younger, should she be happy about it? These last few days, she had came to accepted that she had became someone else.
nShe found out that where she was was similar to the old Tang dynasty. She was quite surprised that the era that she was in was not found any time in history, but one by the name of Dafeng Country. Specifically she was residing in Willow Village, a remote border area of Dafeng Country.
nHer family wasn’t really a part of the Willow Village natives, her folks had just moved here some three years ago. As to where they were from, she had no idea. She had amnesia when it came to anything that happened before she woke up in front of her family.
nTheir house was only a few miles from Willow Village. They could see Willow Village from their front door. They didn’t socialize too much with the villagers, but there were still considered the residents of Willow Village. They’d chitchat with Willow Village’s residents when they ran into each other.
nThe most distressing news of all was that not only was the family extremely poor, their 30-something dad was beaten up by someone just a few days ago. They’d crushed his bones and severed his nerves. But the family was so poor that they couldn’t afford to have a doctor come and look at him. All he could do was to lay on the bed and fight for his life.
