“Damn it, I'm never helping an old person again. No, I'm never getting involved in other people's business again!”
Zhang Muyang shivered, his eyes listlessly fixed on the bonfire in front of him.
Zhang Muyang, 25 years old, graduated from a subpar university and then became a glorious assembly line worker.
Although he was a poor loser, greedy for money and lustful, and lived a life of toil with no hope, Zhang Muyang believed that deep down, he was still a kind and good young man.
Just yesterday, after working continuously for half a month, he finally had a day off and went out for a stroll. He then encountered an old man who had fallen on the street.
The old man was groaning on the ground, looking truly pitiful. After hesitating for three seconds, Zhang Muyang looked at the surveillance cameras on the roadside, took out his phone to record a video, then went to help the old man up and called 120.
Zhang Muyang thought at the time, with evidence in hand, he wouldn't possibly run into such a troublesome situation!
But later, Zhang Muyang met the old man's son at the hospital, and things developed in the direction Zhang Muyang had feared… Zhang Muyang only remembered that he was emotional, wronged, helpless, and then angry. During the scuffle and pushing with the old man's son, by accident, both of them fell out of a sixth-floor window!
Zhang Muyang's last memory was the old man's son's terrified face!
Perhaps he originally only wanted to extort some money from Zhang Muyang, but he couldn't understand how it turned into a fall from a building; he didn't want to die… When Zhang Muyang regained consciousness, he thought he hadn't died. However, what greeted Zhang Muyang's eyes was not a white hospital room, but a vast, snowy mountain forest!
Zhang Muyang suddenly had a guess: he must have transmigrated!
Firstly, how could he survive falling from the sixth floor?
Secondly, Zhang Muyang was in Shenzhen, in the south, where it never snows all year round!
And it was August. Not to mention Shenzhen, it seemed like nowhere in the entire Dragon Country was experiencing snow, right?
But if he really had transmigrated, Zhang Muyang looked at his current situation and felt that he might be the most miserable transmigrator!
It was fine if he didn't transmigrate into a prince or royal descendant. He could even accept a lower standard, not transmigrating into a rich young master!
But at least transmigrate to a place where people lived, at least give him a dilapidated house!
As for Zhang Muyang now, he transmigrated directly into a snowy mountain forest. What was Zhang Muyang, only wearing slippers and a short-sleeved shirt, supposed to do?
Zhang Muyang wanted to find someone for help, wanted a house to warm up… but he couldn't see anyone!
Zhang Muyang also didn't dare to run around aimlessly!
The only thing that comforted Zhang Muyang was that he usually smoked, and his lighter also transmigrated with him. Then Zhang Muyang was lucky enough to find a cave, and there was some firewood inside the cave. Zhang Muyang finally had a bonfire, temporarily saving him from freezing to death!
Then Zhang Muyang tallied all his assets!
One pack of cigarettes, with 3 sticks remaining!
One mobile phone, no charger!
One lighter!
Two candies, change from the supermarket!
And then there was… nothing else!
Where are my keys? Lost?
Forget it, they're useless even if not lost!
Although he was warming himself by the fire, Zhang Muyang's heart was utterly cold!
No food, no warm clothes, and surrounded by desolation. Why transmigrate then?
To die again?
Zhang Muyang was truly at a loss about what to do next.
If he stayed in this cave, although he could make a fire, the firewood in the cave would eventually run out. Plus, without food, he might not even have the strength to gather more firewood later!
But if he left the cave now, Zhang Muyang didn't know where he was. He also didn't know how far he would have to walk to find a populated area. If he left here and couldn't find anyone, he might not even survive tonight… Just as Zhang Muyang was in an intense dilemma, he seemed to hear voices coming from outside the cave!
Zhang Muyang immediately rejoiced, “Someone? That's great!”
Although he was in an unfamiliar place, and Zhang Muyang was also scared, afraid of meeting bad people who might even take his kidneys!
However, Zhang Muyang was even more afraid of not meeting anyone!
Zhang Muyang quickly got up and walked towards the cave entrance. At this moment, the voices from outside became clearer in Zhang Muyang's ears!
“Mama, what should we do? Our cave has been taken, and our firewood has been burned. Nannan is so cold!”
“Nannan, don't be afraid. Mama will take you to find another cave. Once we make a fire, it won't be cold anymore!”
When Zhang Muyang arrived at the cave entrance, he clearly saw the people outside: one adult and one child, a mother and daughter. However, he couldn't make out their faces, and their clothes looked strange.
What Zhang Muyang could confirm was that the younger of the mother and daughter was a very small girl, perhaps only three or four years old, so her mother couldn't be very old either!
Zhang Muyang thought, this mother and daughter posed no threat at all. He couldn't possibly be unable to defeat women and children, could he?
And from the situation, this mother and daughter were even more timid than he was. This cave should belong to them, and the firewood inside was also prepared by them!
But when they saw smoke rising from inside the cave, they obviously knew their cave had been occupied by someone else, yet they didn't dare to return to their own cave, which showed how timid they were!
Zhang Muyang, being new to this place, liked to deal with such people!
Seeing the mother and daughter turn to leave!
Zhang Muyang quickly spoke out!
“Hey, beauty, wait a moment!”
Zhang Muyang didn't know the woman's name outside the cave, nor her appearance or age, but calling her “beauty” was always safe!
As soon as Zhang Muyang stepped out of the cave, he immediately felt a biting cold, so he quickly retreated back inside, hoping the mother and daughter would come over on their own!
And when the mother and daughter heard Zhang Muyang's voice, they immediately bolted like startled rabbits!
Then the little girl probably tripped on something and suddenly fell, but thankfully it was in the snow, so there was no serious injury!
At this moment, Zhang Muyang no longer cared about the cold outside the cave and quickly ran over!
This, it was really all a misunderstanding!
Although he had occupied their cave and used their firewood, such a small matter really didn't warrant murder. Why were they running!
“Little friend, did you hurt yourself when you fell?”
Zhang Muyang ran to the little girl, trying to appear as friendly as possible!
At this point, the mother and daughter probably realized that running was useless and might even anger Zhang Muyang, so they stopped running!
However, their eyes were filled with terror as they looked at Zhang Muyang!
And Zhang Muyang also noticed at this moment that this mother and daughter were very unusual; they looked even more miserable than him, much more miserable!
In this winter snow, Zhang Muyang at least wore slippers, but they were directly barefoot! How cold must that be!
And their clothes were tattered, and they were sallow and emaciated, looking even more wretched than the refugees Zhang Muyang had seen online from the Middle East war zones!
Also, looking at their clothes, they seemed to be ancient sackcloth. Had he transmigrated to ancient times?
But before Zhang Muyang could think more, the little girl suddenly collapsed in front of Zhang Muyang, seemingly having fainted!
Zhang Muyang didn't have time to ask more questions and quickly picked up the little girl, running towards the cave. He believed the little girl must have fainted from the cold!
Seeing Zhang Muyang's actions, the little girl's mother reached out, perhaps wanting to stop him, but then slowly lowered her hand and followed Zhang Muyang into the cave!
Inside the cave, after placing the little girl by the bonfire, Zhang Muyang realized that this little girl was truly very thin, as if she had no flesh on her body!
At this moment, the little girl's mother suddenly knelt down towards Zhang Muyang!
“My lord, please, give us some food and save my daughter. I will repay you by working like an ox or a horse for the rest of my life!”
Zhang Muyang immediately felt incredibly awkward. This was the first time in his life someone had knelt to beg him!
And looking at the woman's appearance, she seemed quite delicate. If she dressed up, she would definitely be a beauty!
More importantly, after Zhang Muyang saw this mother and daughter, he had thought he saw hope!
Because he was hungry too!
“Beauty, please get up first!” Zhang Muyang helped the woman up, then gritted his teeth and took out one of the two candies from his pocket!
These were his emergency food reserves, which he had been reluctant to eat before!
But now this little girl had fainted, very likely from low blood sugar due to hunger. Eating candy was best, so he would give her one!
Why only one? It wasn't that Zhang Muyang was stingy; giving one candy was half of his entire fortune. Who was as generous as him?
Just kidding, actually Zhang Muyang wasn't that generous. Rather, Zhang Muyang knew that even if he kept one more candy, he still wouldn't be full!
If there was no other food, he would still starve to death!
And when Zhang Muyang put the candy into the little girl's mouth, even though she was still unconscious, perhaps it was a sweetness she had never experienced before, causing the little girl to greedily suck on the candy, and then a happy smile appeared on her face!
The little girl's smile was pure and seemed easily satisfied, but Zhang Muyang couldn't feel happy!
He had finally met people from this world, but not only did he not get the help he wanted, he even gave away a candy!
And what about the future?
“Ding, the host's merit points are sufficient to activate the system. System activating!”
