Chapter 1 Wear
"May God bless her! That girl has passed away. It would be a pity to throw her away. I might as well let her do a good deed and be in my belly. It will be worth the years I have raised her for!"

A mumbling voice sounded in his ears. Jiang Yunjin frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

It was pitch black as she looked around. After a moment's pause, she turned her head to look for the source of the sound, but to her surprise, she only saw an iron wall.

Where is this place?
Jiang Yunjin was confused. She moved slightly and heard a slight splashing sound from beneath her. She recognized it as the sound of water.

The water beneath me was cool, and a cracking sound was heard in the silent night sky. As the sound rang out, the water beneath me became slightly warmer.

She tilted her head and looked down in disbelief.

She was actually staying in an iron pot!

The crackling sound ringing in my ears was the sound of firewood burning under the iron pot.

After a few breaths, the water in the iron pot became slightly warm.

Jiang Yunjin's breathing became a little difficult. She struggled to hold on to the iron pot and run out, but unexpectedly, the red-hot iron pot burned her hands and left blisters. She lost her balance and fell back into the pot, making a loud noise.

"bang"

At this moment, the water in the iron pot had become hot, scalding her skin red and sending a burning sensation throughout her body.

Instantly her head became dizzy, and along with waves of stabbing pain, a strange memory suddenly came to her mind.

She actually traveled through time.

He became a poor little boy with the same name and surname, who was only four years old.

The original owner was abandoned in the mountains shortly after she was born. Fortunately, she was picked up by her adoptive mother, Widow Song, and raised as her own daughter. The original owner lived a very happy life before the age of two.

When the original owner was three years old, everything changed.

The adoptive mother, who always had a kind face, revealed her true colors. Not only did she order the original owner to do all the chores, but she would also beat and scold her if she did not do her job properly. It was common for the original owner to be covered in bruises.

When the original owner was four years old, a drought broke out that year, which was rare in a decade, resulting in the people having no harvest.

Originally, they could have survived the winter by tightening their belts, but who would have expected that a group of ruthless bandits would suddenly appear on their way.

They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of atrocities. In just a few days, they massacred several nearby villages and even set them on fire cruelly.

The sky is filled with red light, illuminating the night like day.

In order to survive, everyone in the original owner's village fled overnight, including the original owner and her daughter.

Unexpectedly, not long after they left, the original owner's family ran out of food. The adoptive mother, who had been hungry for several days, finally showed her claws.

The adoptive mother cruelly strangled the frail original owner to death and even cooked her in a pot.

When she arrived, the original owner had just passed away.

The memory in his mind was frozen on the original owner's face, and he died with his eyes open.

Jiang Yunjin's heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by someone, and a subtle pain spread from the bottom of her heart.

She was determined to avenge the original owner!
The scalding warm water instantly sobered Jiang Yunjin up. She waved her limbs, slapped the water surface, and shouted loudly.

"Help...Help! Help...Gulu..."

As the shout came out, it instantly attracted a figure not far away.

The moonlight shines through the branches onto the figure.

A thin woman wearing a patched coarse cloth dress can be clearly seen.

After hearing the sound, the woman quickly stood up and walked to the pot, glancing sideways at the small figure struggling in the water.

His sallow face turned pale and weak in an instant, his lips trembled, and he looked incredible.

The woman never thought that the man was not dead!
She looked at the little man struggling in the water, licked her dry lips unconsciously, and suppressed the trembling in her heart.

She would never allow the fat meat in her mouth to slip away.

He looked around, found a handy stick, and pushed the little head that was about to emerge from the water back into the water. His pale and powerless face was full of malice, and he said viciously.

"You have a bad fate, you little girl. Don't blame me! If you had died just now, you would never have suffered again! Don't go to the King of Hell and tell him nonsense when you die. After all, I have raised you for four years! Go to hell!"

The woman in front of him was muttering to herself, holding down the little man who was trying to float to the surface with the stick in her hand.

Hehe… I can finally eat meat! She stared at the slowly boiling water with a greedy smile and licked her dry and flaky lips.

Seeing that there was no movement in the pot, she turned and continued to add firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously.

Jiang Yunjin held her breath and hid at the bottom of the pot. When there was no movement above, she quickly stuck her head out. The water beneath her was getting hotter and hotter. She anxiously looked for a way to escape, but to no avail.

The woman just now was the original owner's adoptive mother. Her surname was Song and she was known as Widow Song.

Jiang Yunjin gritted his teeth, thinking about ways to escape, when he suddenly heard a strange noise not far away.

The next moment, her eyes lit up and she slapped the warm water with all her might.

Accompanied by urgent cries for help, people nearby were soon alarmed.

Jiang Yunjin was exhausted and her vision went dark. The scalding water seemed to devour her.

When her consciousness became blurred, she unexpectedly saw Widow Song with a ferocious look on her face.

Jiang Yunjin wondered, would she die just like that?

Suddenly, a sound of breaking air was heard in the distance.

"Bang!" A loud bang was heard.

The boiling pot suddenly broke into pieces. The hot water put out the burning firewood, and a burst of white smoke instantly came out, scaring Widow Song so much that she quickly jumped aside.

Jiang Yunjin in the pot accidentally fell out and rolled into the grass nearby.

The fall made her see stars and her whole body was filled with burning pain. She breathed in the air happily, like a dying fish on land returning to the water.

Finally, she could not resist the weakness of her body, her eyes rolled back and she fainted. Before she fainted, she heard a scream, and the voice sounded like a woman's.

The woman screamed and begged, but received no mercy at all.

The man's angry voice was the last sound Jiang Yunjin heard. Then his body flew into the air and seemed to be lying on her soft big bed, making her feel at ease and fall into a faint.

I slept for quite a long time and even had a sweet dream.

In her dream, she came to a fairyland where there were not only delicious food but also birds and beasts.

She looked at the snow-white rabbit hopping in the grass, and her stomach growled.

Just when she was trying her best to pounce forward, she accidentally missed. Suddenly, there was a shaking like an earthquake around her, causing her body to fall suddenly.

She screamed and her falling body was held firmly by a pair of strong and powerful hands.

After clearly feeling the warmth of the big hand, Jiang Yunjin suddenly opened his eyes.

She found herself being held in someone's arms, and the man holding her was an honest man with a simple and kind face.

There was a little dust on his face, and his gentle eyes were full of kindness. He grinned, showing his honesty.

"Come quickly, my lady, the little kid is awake."

The man called to another person to come and take a look.

Jiang Yunjin had a bewildered look on his face, as if his head was filled with paste, making him confused and unable to find his direction.

She suddenly remembered the voice she heard before she fainted, which was similar to this man's voice. Could it be that she was rescued?
Jiang Yunjin didn't say anything, with a confused look on his face, but he was resentful of Widow Song in his heart.

She suddenly remembered the situation last night and looked at her own hands.

Only then did he realize that his entire body was wrapped in a piece of soft white cloth. After a simple bandage, he put on a loose apricot-colored shirt on the outside, which just covered the white cloth.

At that time, a woman hurried over, took the baby from the man's arms, and looked at Jiang Yunjin in her arms with a little restraint.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. No one will bully you or target you anymore!" the woman said gently.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Yunjin looked up at the woman who was speaking in front of him. She had beautiful features, gentle eyes and eyebrows, and her words were also gentle.

They saved her!

Suddenly, a shrill and sharp voice was heard.

"I don't agree! Why should you add another mouth to feed the eldest family? We don't have much food to begin with, and now we have to eat tree bark, and you still want to add another mouth to feed us! Aren't you deliberately starving us to death?"
