On a moonless night, Su Qingyu woke up on a bumpy donkey cart.
The driver was an old farmer.
In the car.
A thin middle-aged woman with a kerchief on her head sat in the front, holding a baby in her arms.
That was her mother holding her younger brother.
On the left side of Su Qingyu sat an older girl with dry yellow hair. She had bound feet, was malnourished, and had a sallow complexion.
That’s her elder sister, Xiaocao.
On the right, there is a younger girl sitting. She is wearing a worn flowery cotton jacket. It can be seen that her life was good in the past.
That's her sister, Xiaohua.
Su Qingyu's current identity is Xiaoyu, the second daughter of a ruined landlord who fled to Ping'an City because of famine.
Wow, all the flowers, plants and fish are here.
This family is all human.
Su Qingyu has not found any strange traces in this world for the time being.
By the way, this family’s surname is also Su.
Su Qingyu's current identity in the copy is Su Xiaoyu.
This world is a bit like the Republic of China period, but the specific events don't match up.
The mother was extremely distressed, muttering, "Since a year ago, there has been no crops growing in the fields, and your father starved to death.
After he died, he was buried in the ground, but his coffin was dug up, his body disappeared, and only a wild dog with red eyes ran out.
It’s a pity for us, an orphan and a widow. If we stay in the village, we will not only be bullied but also have nothing to eat.
Xiaoyu, your father fought in the war a few years ago, and because of his merits, you have a marriage contract with the eldest son of the governor's mansion in Ping'an City. This time we are going to join him, and you have to behave well.
Only if the Governor's Office is willing to take us in, we will have a chance to survive."
Su Qingyu relied on the memories given in the copy and replied, "I know, mother."
Behind the donkey cart, there were several dogs with red eyes.
They kept a distance from the donkey cart.
The donkey cart did not stop until it entered the Ping'an City Gate.
Ping'an City is the name of this copy.
This city is located in a remote area, controlled by warlords, and is closed internally. People in the city do not go out all year round.
The Governor's Mansion is an even more daunting existence.
The old governor was tyrannical and had countless wives and concubines.
There are three sons in his family. The eldest son is taciturn, the second son is frivolous and boastful, and the youngest son is the cruelest and likes killing.
None of them are good people.
Following the mother's complaints, the group entered Ping An City.
At the city gate, the mother took out some dull silver pieces and gave them to the driver, who took the silver and left.
The mother handed the half jade pendant in her arms to the soldier guarding the city, and the soldier let people in only after seeing the token.
Su Qingyu observed the streets. It was very lively with the small vendors hawking their wares. People here not only used silver, but also paper money for the dead.
They seemed unaware of the mysterious incident.
In their eyes, ghost money and dull silver are no different from ordinary currency.
This place is like a paradise on earth isolated from the rest of the world.
Su Qingyu volunteered: "Mother, I will ask passers-by about the location of the Governor's Mansion."
"Go, child." The mother licked her dry lips and waved her hand tiredly.
