Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

Chapter 1 Daily Life of Escapers in Ancient Times

Xu Ning had a dream.

In the dream, I saw a group of ancient people with pale faces and skinny bodies fleeing from famine.

Along the way, there was nothing but earth and people. The bark of the trees had been stripped and eaten. In order to find food, one family went into a more remote forest to dig up tree roots.

Suddenly, an ancient box fell from the sky in front of the family.

The box is not big and looks like a jewelry box.

At first, the family did not dare to go forward and waited there. Seeing that no one came to claim it, they tentatively opened the box with a stick.

As a result, the box was empty.

Xu Ning thought it would be great if this box was a treasure chest, so that the family wouldn't have to eat tree bark.

Xu Ning felt a little depressed after waking up. It was clearly a dream and she didn't understand why she couldn't control her dream. The family looked like they were almost starving to death.

Xu Ning was in a bad mood all day. Her mother came to her small apartment to celebrate her birthday, and her brother prepared a large table of delicious food for her in various ways.

"Aunt, why are you unhappy?" The little boy who was chewing a chicken leg in Xu Ning's arms looked up and asked Xu Ning. Xu Ning looked at the soft and cute appearance of his nephew, and suddenly remembered the family fleeing famine in his dream.

There was also a little boy in that family who was the same age as her nephew.

The difference is that her little nephew is white, chubby, soft and cute, while the little boy is no different from other adults fleeing famine. He is also pale and thin, with sunken cheeks, which makes his eyes look particularly big, just like an African refugee.

Xu Ning felt inexplicably sad. It would be great if that family could also have food to eat.

"Auntie is not unhappy, auntie is just thinking about something. Come on, little darling, eat quickly. Only when you are full can you grow taller."

"Ningning, you should eat more too!" Xu Ning's mother picked up several pieces of Xu Ning's favorite dishes for Xu Ning, while Xu Ning's younger brother and sister-in-law brought their son back.

"Sister, eat more. You look so thin because of hunger!" Brother Xu Ning continued to pick up food for her attentively.

"Yes, sister, let us feed Xiaobao, you should eat more!" Xu Ning's sister-in-law also agreed.

Xu Ning smiled and chatted with her family after dinner as usual. Her 28th birthday was over.

After seeing her brother's family and mother off, Xu Ning received gifts sent to her by her friends.

One of the strange boxes caught Xu Ning's attention. Before opening the box, there was a card on it that read:

"Dear player, happy birthday! Congratulations on becoming our game guest who travels through the daily life of ancient famine escape. Next is the introduction of our game. We are a game that takes customers through ancient times to escape famine. In order to give players the best gaming experience, the system will take players to the real ancient times. At the same time, in order for players to successfully complete the task, a treasure chest is specially presented to players.

The treasure box has everything, and players can redeem any item they want based on their points. If you successfully complete this task, the main system can fulfill one of your wishes, which is not limited to huge wealth, supreme status, and rebirth... and after the game is over, players can dispose of the treasure box at will. "That is to say, if you complete the task, not only can you realize a wish, but you can also have what you get in the game.

Xu Ning opened the box and was surprised to find that it was the same box as the one in her dream.

Xu Ning held the box in his hand, pressed the buckle of the box, and saw a blue light screen pop up in the box.

The next moment, a mechanical voice sounded: "Hello, dear player, I am Treasure Box No. 1 who traveled through ancient times to escape from famine. I am happy to serve you!"

"number 1?"

"Yes player, you can call me Yibao for short."

"Pfft, Yibao? Will the mineral water complain about you?"

"Sorry player, Yibao can't understand what you mean."

"Okay, then I'll call you Bao from now on. Can we be a little more abbreviated?"

"Okay player, the system here detects that you have read the game instructions. The system asks you if you want to enter the game immediately?"

“I have a question, how do I get into this game?”

"Hello player, the system will bring your consciousness into the character's body."

"What about my original body?"

"Hello player, your body will always exist in this interface."

"Am I going to die?"

"Hello player, the system will send your consciousness back when you complete the task."

"What if I fail to complete the task?"

"Hello player, the system will be reset and you will enter the game again."

"If it's not completed..."

"The system will erase your remaining consciousness."

For a moment, Xu Ning wanted to give up this game, because in the real world, she lacked almost everything except love. Xu Ning couldn't help but wonder, is such a high-risk game really worth her risk?

But she did have a wish.

"Bao, I have one last question for you. Were you sent here by my father?"

"Hello player, yes."

"Okay, let's go." A blue light flashed before his eyes, and Xu Ning's body disappeared in the apartment.

At the same time, Daya of the Xu family from the Daqing Dynasty tried too hard to grab the treasure chest, and due to inertia, her head hit the chest and she fell into a coma.

"Daya! Daya! Don't scare your mother! Wake up!" Xu Ning opened her eyes in a daze, and saw a group of skinny people surrounding her.

"Bao, have we arrived in ancient times?"

"Hello players, we have successfully arrived at Daqing Dynasty." Xu Ning was calling Treasure Box No. 1 in her mind, but the voice she heard came from the box in her arms.

However, Xu Ning saw that no one else seemed to be acting strangely, which meant that she was the only one who could hear the sound of the treasure box.

"Daya, does your head still hurt?" Xu Ning looked up and saw a kind old lady stroking her hair with her rough but warm hands.

Xu Ning's nose felt sore and tears started to flow.

"Grandma." Xu Ning was raised by her grandparents. When she saw this face that looked so similar to her grandmother, Xu Ning burst into tears.

"Be good and don't cry. I'm boiling water. I'll wipe you clean in a while and it won't hurt anymore." Xu Ning nestled in Old Lady Xu's arms. The panic he had felt about the ancient life was calmed down by Old Lady Xu's gentle pats on his back.

Seeing that Xu Ning was fine, the Xu family breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Ning's mother brought a bowl of warm water, and Old Lady Xu took a handkerchief and carefully wiped the wound on Xu Ning's forehead.

The wound on Xu Ning's forehead was quite large. Although it had already scabbed over, Old Lady Xu only wiped the area around the wound, but Xu Ning still grimaced in pain.

Helpless, Xu Ning could only divert his attention.

"Bao, how many points do I have now?"

"Hello player, your original points are 100, you can exchange them for 10 kilograms of rice, 20 kilograms of cornmeal, 20 kilograms of white flour, and 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes."

"First, exchange for 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes!" Rice, cornmeal and white flour are too conspicuous. Now the refugees are eating tree roots, so it is safer for them to eat sweet potatoes.

"Okay, player, do you want to exchange it immediately?" Xu Ning carefully observed the surroundings at this time, and seeing that there were still many refugees near the Xu family, he chose to delay the exchange.

At this time, Xu Ning's forehead had been wiped clean, and Old Mrs. Xu wrung out the handkerchief for the last time and wiped Xu Ning's hands.

"Second sister, does your head still hurt? Xiaobao will help you blow it." When Xiaobao from the Xu family saw Xu Ning crying in his grandmother's arms, he thought that Xu Ning's wound was too painful.

Xu Xiaobao's words made the men in the Xu family look at the culprit viciously again.

"What? I just thought she hid something delicious, so I wanted to take a look. Who knew it was just a broken box, empty but she was still holding it tightly." The person who spoke was Xu Qianqian, the daughter of the village chief of Xujia Village. She had been spoiled by the village chief since she was a child, and she had often robbed other people's things in the village.

"Didn't my father compensate you with a sweet potato? Don't be ungrateful!" Seeing that the men in Xu Ning's family were still looking at her viciously, Xu Qianqian argued weakly.

In fact, everyone present understood that if there were good things in the box, Xu Qianqian would definitely snatch them away.

The village chief came to apologize when Xu Daya hit her head, and the sweet potato was really a gift of apology.

Now that there is no food, people are eating tree bark and soil. A sweet potato is as valuable as ordinary meat.

The men of the Xu family didn't know what to say, but they became more careful and protected their girl, Daya, who was born mentally retarded.
