Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 2 A Game?
  When Sun Xiangyang woke up again, it was already pitch black outside, and an oil lamp was lit inside the house, barely illuminating a radius of several meters.

He was sitting cross-legged on the kang, his clothes had been changed, and his dirty and muddy body had been wiped.

In front of him, there was a small square table with rice specially reserved for him.

A large bowl of millet porridge, two eggs, a plate of pickled radish strips, and two sturdy steamed buns.

Opposite him, there sat a little girl of four or five years old, with two pigtails, looking timid, looking at the eggs in the bowl and quietly swallowing her saliva.

Seeing this scene, Sun Xiangyang picked up the eggs, peeled one and handed it to the little girl.

"Give."

The little girl in front of me is called Dudu, who has just turned five years old.

Six months ago, Sun's father died trying to save three educated youths who fell into the water.

At that time, Chen Shuting was the first to be rescued because she was close to the reservoir. Then Sun's father went to rescue the educated youth couple further away. In the end, all three of them were killed.

Dudu is the daughter left behind by the educated youth couple.

When Chen Shuting agreed to marry Sun Xiangyang, her only requirement was to marry Dudu with her and raise her as her own daughter.

Therefore, the sound of "Daddy" that Sun Xiangyang heard in a trance before he fell into coma during the day was not an illusion.

"I won't eat it. Mom said I should leave the eggs for dad to replenish his health."

Her little face was full of confusion, but in the end, she shook her head firmly.

Sun Xiangyang had experienced this kind of obedience in his previous life.

Even Dudu's situation was similar to that of his previous life, so he felt extra pity for this daughter whom he met for the 'first time'.

"Well, dad doesn't like to eat egg yolks, so he only eats egg whites. Can you help dad eat the egg yolks?"

Sun Xiangyang broke open the egg, ate the white himself, and put the remaining yolk to the little girl's mouth.

Perhaps it was the alluring fragrance of the egg yolk, or perhaps it was Sun Xiangyang's completely different strength from the past, that made the little girl instinctively open her mouth. She first carefully bit a little bit, then her eyes suddenly widened, and then she took the initiative to take the egg yolk. , swallowed it in big mouthfuls.

"Thank you... ugh... Dad."

[You receive sincere thanks from villager Feng Dudu, and your experience is +10. 】

???

Sun Xiangyang's eyes suddenly widened.

How is this going?

hallucinations?
  Although after waking up, he felt as if there was something extra on his body, but he couldn't see or touch it, let alone explain it clearly.

I didn’t expect that this moment would actually ‘pop’ out.

Is it related to feeding?
  He decided to give it a try.

"Slow down, don't choke."

Sun Xiangyang said and peeled open the remaining egg.

But this time, he ate the egg yolk and instead presented the egg white to the little girl.

At this time, the little girl was still a little confused.

Didn't dad just say that he doesn't like egg yolks?

But before her little head could think clearly, her mouth opened involuntarily.

When Chen Shuting came in, she saw such a scene.

"Mom, dad said he didn't like egg yolks and asked me to help him eat them."

Dudu was startled and gave a somewhat guilty explanation.

Chen Shuting looked at the egg white on the little girl's lips and said nothing.

But his eyes fell on Sun Xiangyang, which was a little strange.

Sun Xiangyang did not explain this, nor did he say anything to Chen Shuting. Instead, he picked up a steamed bun and ate it in big mouthfuls, thinking about it in his heart.

I just gave food for the second time, but I don’t know if it was interrupted by Chen Shuting coming in, and I didn’t get any feedback.

The only thing he was certain of was that the reminder that appeared in his mind in the form of text was not an illusion.

system?

or something else?

Later, Sun Xiangyang tried to share Wowotou and millet porridge with Dudu, but he still didn't get any more experience, which made him a little confused.

After he had eaten and drank enough, Sun Xiangyang leaned on the quilt like an old man and began to be in a daze.

At least on the surface.

Thinking of the previous reminder, his heart moved.

Doesn’t experience only appear in games?
  He couldn't help but shout in his mind: "Panel?"

The next moment, Sun Xiangyang's eyes widened again.

Because in front of him, an illusory panel appeared. He touched it with his hand, but it was empty.

Dudu, who was playing next to him, didn't notice at all. Obviously, only Sun Xiangyang himself could see it.

Then he stared at the words that appeared on the panel seriously.

Name: Sun Xiangyang
  Identity: Villager

Level: 0 (0/100)

Remaining experience: 10
  Skills: none

game instructions:

1. This game has been anchored, initial coverage: Shuangshui Bay.

2. All game rules are left to the players to explore.

........................

So, this is a game?
  But if it's a game, it's too real. The memories of two lifetimes are like movie scenes, passing through my mind frame by frame. There is no trace of falsehood in anything I see, know, or feel.

After thinking for a moment, he still tended to think that he had traveled to this era and replaced the original owner, but with a game-like golden finger.

Shaking his head vigorously, Sun Xiangyang found that the illusory panel had not disappeared. Sun Xiangyang tentatively said something in his heart and took it back.

Suddenly, the panel disappeared, and everything seemed to be no different from before.

But Sun Xiangyang understood: It was different.

Afterwards, he tried a few more times, and finally set his sights on the column of remaining experience. Looking at the lonely 10 points of experience, he chose to add it.

The writing on the panel changes accordingly.

Name: Sun Xiangyang
  Identity: Villager

Level: 0 (10/100)

Remaining experience: 0
  Skills: none

Just adding 10 points of experience, the level did not increase, but I don't know if it was an illusion. Sun Xiangyang felt as if there was a warm current spreading out of his body, like soaking in a hot spring. It was so warm that even the previous fatigue was swept away. null.

So, improving level = improving physical fitness?

What will happen if he reaches level [-]?
  Because he didn't have enough experience to try, Sun Xiangyang quickly changed his attention and began to think about the current situation.

It is now October 77, in a place called Shuangshuiwan in Yulin, northern Shaanxi. There are only three hundred people in the village, and it is more than 10 kilometers away from the nearest county seat.

They also live in cave dwellings.

For a moment, Sun Xiangyang thought he had traveled to the ordinary world of TV series.

But after carefully looking through the memory of the original owner, I found that there was neither Sun Shaoan who used "I really want to beat you to death" as his catchphrase, nor was there anyone named Xiulian.

Everything seems paradoxical.

The only thing they have in common is backwardness and poverty.

There is still no electricity in the village, and every household can only light oil lamps.

Although the village is called Shuangshuiwan, in fact, the Loess Plateau has always been short of water. The nearest reservoir to the village is four or five miles away and is still in a small ravine.

Although there is a small clear water pool upstream of the reservoir in the ravine, which can barely supply the whole village with water, the distance is long and it is difficult to walk there.

Basically, it would take an hour or two to carry a load of water back, which was a serious waste of time.

Autumn is fine right now, but if winter comes and the roads freeze, it will be a disaster every day.

At present, although he has an extra game panel, he needs to explore everything by himself, and he cannot directly provide him with food and water, so he has to rely on himself.

As for leaving this poor and backward village, he hasn't thought about it yet.

Not to mention that he has nowhere to go. In the previous game description, the coordinates are anchored and the coverage is limited to Shuangshui Bay. There is also the reminder from villager Feng Dudu that this game panel can only be used in Shuangshui Bay. Bay works.

At least that's the case for now.

Even if he hasn't figured out more uses, just improving his physique is enough for him to take root and survive.

If you want to make money, it’s not too late to wait a few years.

Thinking about it this way, it's quite good.

Now that his wife and children are on the hot bed, he has achieved his ultimate dream in his previous life.

In his previous life, he was also born in a small mountain village. His parents died young and he was adopted by his uncle's family.

Although his aunt was mean, she didn't lack anything from him.

I remember that when he was admitted to college, his aunt went back to her parents' house. When she came back, her eyes were red, but she gave him the tuition fee.

Therefore, he is always grateful to his uncle's family.

After graduation, he worked alone in a big city. He was in his thirties but had not yet married.

He did talk to his girlfriend, but the house was a dam in front of him.

Not wanting to drag down his uncle's family, he had to work a few jobs to barely scrape together enough for the down payment.

But after waiting for two years, the developer went bankrupt and the house was in ruins.

My girlfriend was well-behaved and sensible. She didn’t complain about him after she found out. She just found a café with a bourgeois atmosphere and had a heart-to-heart talk with him.
  After receiving a good person card, the other party comforted him that he would definitely find someone better than her in the future.

Not resentful, just tired.

The last memory he had was that when he left the cafe and was crossing the street in a daze, a red sports car ran a red light and lost control, knocking him away.

I don’t know if the good guy card took effect, but the soul accidentally came to this era and completely replaced the original owner with the same name and surname.

The key is that he has a beautiful wife and a well-behaved and lovely daughter.

What my ex-girlfriend said was a prophecy.

If I have any regrets in my previous life, it would be that I didn't have time to repay my uncle's family for their upbringing.

Fortunately, after his death, the guy who drove the sports car would also pay a large sum of money to make up for it a little bit.

As for this life, now that it's come, let's make peace with it.

"Go to sleep."

I don’t know how long it took, but Chen Shuting finished cleaning up and climbed onto the kang.

Her blue denim pants, which were originally a bit too baggy, were suddenly stretched out to a round shape.

"and many more!"

Suddenly, Sun Xiangyang shouted. Facing Chen Shuting's confused gaze, he didn't explain. He got out of bed, went outside to get a basin of water, and then brought it back to the house.

"Dudu, wash your feet before going to bed. You can wash your feet too."

Sun Xiangyang looked at Chen Shuting expectantly.

Washing your daughter-in-law's feet is something the head of the family can do. Is it something that men in northern Shaanxi can do?
  His attitude is so low. If Chen Shuting doesn't give him [-] points of experience, she would be heartless.

However, facing his expectant gaze, Chen Shuting's face showed an expression of shame and anger.
