In Kaoshan Village on the outskirts of Chang 'an.
In the simple farmhouse, Han Qiu took a deep breath.
His sister was coming back from Longyou today.
The reason why Han Qiu was nervous was because this sister he had never met before had been adopted by someone else when he was three years old.
He had been gone for fourteen years.
Half a month ago, his sister sent him a letter.
He said that he was wandering outside and missed home very much. He agreed to return home today.
Unfortunately, she came back at the wrong time.
Two years ago, his parents passed away one after another, leaving Han Qiu alone in the family.
Han Qiu had never seen or remembered this sister who had suddenly appeared.
Five years ago, he had transmigrated into this body.
He had only occasionally heard his parents mention it.
That's right, Han Qiu was a transmigrator and had activated a god-level check-in system.
Han Qiu had signed in the farmhouse for five years.
Within five years, the system's rewards were numerous and too numerous to mention.
He was still thinking about how to face his sister, whom he had never met before.
……
In the autumn of the second year of Zhenguan.
The Guanzhong area was filled with locusts and the famine lasted for more than two months. Every household could not cook and the streets were filled with hungry people.
Some families even traded their children for food.
His Majesty Li Shi Min was worried sick and had been worrying about this matter all day long.
"Fang Qiao, do you think that it is really as the rumors outside say, that this is the wrath of the heavens and can only be quelled by marrying my daughter?”
Li Shiming said worriedly to Fang Xuanling.
The Great Tang was now riddled with holes and filled with starving corpses.
There were refugees begging everywhere on the streets.
Fang Xuanling knew what Li Shiming was worried about, so he sighed and said,"Your Majesty, regardless of whether this is true or not, Princess Chang Le will have to suffer.”
"If we don't use this to shut up the mouths of those villains, when the time comes, rebellions will erupt and the Great Tang will truly be in danger.”
When Li Shimin heard this, his heart felt like it was being stabbed.
His precious daughter, who was both talented and beautiful, actually wanted to marry.
Was this retribution?
As he spoke, a palace guard rushed into the hall.
"Your Majesty!" Not good, Princess Chang Le is missing!”
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling's expressions changed. The former was furious,
"How can I not see him? She was a woman, and she was in the palace. How could she go missing?”
"Eunuch, Eunuch, Her Highness the Princess disguised herself as a palace maid to purchase. She has already left the palace."
"Whoosh!"
Li Shiming staggered and almost fell to the ground, but Fang Xuanling stepped forward to support him.
After the former steadied himself, he shouted angrily,
"Pass on my decree. Send out the Imperial Guards to seal off Chang 'an City. We must find the Princess before dark!!”
……
……
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Someone knocked on the door.
Han Qiu, who was in the room, heaved a sigh of relief. What was supposed to come had finally come.
After he got up and opened the door, he sized up the two of them.
In the end, his gaze landed on Princess Chang Le, who was wearing a long dress.
It was obvious that this was his younger sister. The little girl beside her was clearly his younger sister's maidservant.
After all, his sister had been adopted by a rich family.
It was normal to have a servant girl by his side.
Han Qiu took a deep breath and said,"You're home?" Come in."
Princess Changle and her maidservant Xiao He looked at each other in confusion.
The two of them secretly escaped from the palace and wanted to find a place to stay.
How did this young man know that they would come?
What was going on?
Now that the sky was getting dark, they had nowhere else to go, so they could only suspiciously follow Han Qiu into the house.
After the three of them sat down, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Whoosh!
Han Qiu let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed her tense nerves. She said,"You must be hungry after coming back from outside. Come, eat something first.”
Swoosh!
Chang Le's face stiffened as she looked at the young man who was about the same age as her.
"What? The locust plague is rampant in Guanzhong, and the whole country is in famine. Where do you get food?”
Although Changle was young, he knew the state affairs like the back of his hand.
In this day and age, the rich families did not even have enough food to save themselves.
He was a farmer, yet he still had surplus food?
"Let me go cook first," Han Qiu replied."You'll know later.”
With that, Han Qiu went to the kitchen to cook.
In the main room, Xiao He couldn't help but ask,"
"Princess, do you think he's trying to act tough?”
"It's very possible." Changle nodded.
The famine had spread for a month or two.
The royal family's food was almost finished, and as for the farmers, there was no need to mention them.
However, there was one thing that she could not figure out.
Ever since they had entered Reliance Village, they had not seen any refugees begging or fighting for food.
Could it be that there was really some unknown secret?
Just as Chang Le was thinking about this, Han Qiu had already served the dishes.
"Eat it while it's hot. It's just out of the pot.”
"This is…"
Chang Le and Xiao He looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
There was neither rice nor fruits and vegetables on the plate.
Instead, it was a small piece of black and red meat that looked like an insect.
"Try it. It tastes pretty good."
Han Qiu set an example. She picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, chewing it.
Seeing that Han Qiu was fine after eating, she even looked like she was enjoying it.
Changle also started eating.
Bam!
As the piece of meat was put into his mouth, Chang Le's small mouth started chewing rapidly.
then
"Wow! It's so delicious!"
Changle's big black eyes suddenly lit up, looking extremely cute.
At the same time, Han Qiu's face turned slightly red.
F * ck!
No way, I actually fell in love with my own sister?
Am I a sis-con?
"No, that's not right. This isn't called siscon. This is LSP behavior. I can't have such thoughts.”
Han Qiu shook her head, killing the evil thoughts in her heart in the cradle.
"Oh right, what is this red and black meat? Why haven't I seen it before?”Chang Le suddenly asked.
Because the question was too sudden, Han Qiu replied without hesitation,"It's normal that you haven't seen it before, because this is a fried locust.”
"What is it? Locusts?"
Puff!
Chang Le's beautiful face turned pale. She immediately covered her mouth and rushed to the toilet.
