Chapter 1 A strange world

Linjiang Town!

Stone Village!

Xu Yan dragged his tired body back to his small shabby house.

He hid the food in his arms in the hole in the corner and carefully concealed the traces.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xu Yan quickly took out a yellow charm and stuck it on the door, then locked the door.

It wasn't until this was done that the whole person breathed a sigh of relief.

It sounds like bad luck.

Xu Yan was not originally from this world, but was transformed into a newborn baby.

With the support of his parents, he lived to be ten years old.

However, the sky is unpredictable, and people have misfortunes and blessings!

When Xu Yan was ten years old, his father died in an accident on his way home from work in the quarry.

The mother could only make a living by collecting shoe soles day and night.

In less than three years, my mother, who was already weak, passed away due to overwork.

Thanks to the mercy of his neighbor Uncle Li, Xu Yan was able to survive.

After he turned sixteen, Xu Yan followed Uncle Li to the quarry to cut stones in exchange for a meager reward.

It has been two years now.

Originally, as a transmigrator, Xu Yan thought that he was the son of destiny and could make a big difference in this world.

But he obviously thought too much.

This world is full of monsters and weird things.

Those in the upper position indulge in extravagance and indulgence.

The poor people at the bottom have no food to eat and have to live a life of precarity and fear.

If you are not careful, you will become the food in the mouth of strange things.

In this weird world, Xu Yan is not even qualified to go to a nearby town, let alone accomplish anything.

Not to mention the fantasy of cultivating immortals.

How could he, a poor member of the lower class who could not even maintain basic food and clothing, learn the method of spiritual practice?

Until yesterday when he turned eighteen, Xu Yan awakened his Goldfinger.

Marry a wife and have children to add points to the system!

As long as Xu Yan marries a wife and her wife's favorability reaches above 80, she can provide Xu Yan with training points.

Cultivation points can improve Xu Yan’s cultivation.

The stronger the wife is, the more training points she provides.

In the same way, heirs can also provide Xu Yan with training points. The stronger he is, the more training points he will receive.

Xu Yan has already negotiated with his neighbor Uncle Li today.

In a few days, Uncle Li's daughter Li Chulu will be old enough to get married, and then they will get married.

Speaking of which, Xu Yan also felt strange.

Uncle Li and Aunt Li are not very good-looking, but their daughter Li Chulu is very good-looking.

In this era, it is either a blessing or a curse for ordinary people's daughters to be too good-looking.

Therefore, Li Chulu basically never goes out.

I'm just afraid of causing trouble and causing harm to my family.

Only Xu Yan was raised by Uncle Li's family, knew him well, and was kind to Xu Yan in his upbringing.

That's why Xu Yan can often go to Uncle Li's house to see Li Chulu.

The two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood.

In addition, Xu Yan was the only person of the opposite sex that Li Chulu came into contact with besides his relatives, so naturally the two of them had been attracted to each other for a long time.

It was silent outside the house at night.

Xu Yan was in a daze when suddenly there was a burst of blood at his door.

The weird red light shone into the room through the gap, making Xu Yan's scalp numb instantly and the hairs all over his body standing on end.

The red light lasted for nearly a minute before gradually fading away.

Xu Yan slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems the weirdness has left.

Strangely enough, in the eighteen years since Xu Yan came to this world, he had never seen anything strange come to his door twice in one night.

This made Xu Yan a little suspicious.

He felt that the group of people in Stone Village were kept captive.

Because every year there are always some people who cannot afford to buy the yellow talisman, and thus are mysteriously drained of their essence and blood and die.

But so what if there is doubt?

He doesn't have the ability to change this situation now.

The next day, it was broad daylight.

Xu Yan had breakfast at home and walked to the quarry with his neighbor Uncle Li.

The reason why Stone Village is called Stone Village is that the village is surrounded by stone mountains.

There are tens of thousands of people in the whole village, and all the adult men work in the quarry to earn food to support their families.

At the same time, he had to save part of his rations every day and go to the trading pavilion at the head of the village to exchange for yellow talismans.

An adult man working in a quarry for one day can earn at least six kilograms of grain.

Except for the two kilograms of grain required to purchase the yellow talisman.

The remaining four kilograms of grain can barely feed a family of three.

Of course, the food earned by different types of work will definitely be different.

The man who carries the stone exerts the most energy, but earns the least, with an income of six kilograms of grain per day.

People who chisel stone need certain skills. They can earn eight pounds of food every day and live a decent life.

It is easiest for people to transport stones, but livestock are required for transportation, and they can earn fifteen kilograms of grain per day.

Therefore, a man who usually transports stones can support several women and is also the most popular man among women in Stone Village.

Uncle Li is a stone cutter in the quarry and earns eight kilograms of grain every day, so he is able to support Xu Yan.

When Xu Yan was sixteen, he followed Uncle Li in the quarry to learn how to cut stones.

After two years of hard work, the income has increased from six kilograms of grain to eight kilograms of grain now.

Soon the two came to the quarry.

After reporting to supervisor Wang Hai, Xu Yan took the tools and started chipping away at the stone.

After a busy day, Xu Yan felt that his waist was almost broken.

Chiseling rocks is easier than moving rocks, but not much easier. They are both heavy physical tasks.

After collecting today's rations from the granary with Uncle Li, the two went to the trading pavilion at the head of the village to trade yellow talismans.

In Stone Village, a new yellow talisman must be prepared every day. As for last night's yellow talisman, it had been reduced to ashes.

The next few days didn't change much as usual.

Soon it was Li Chulu's sixteenth birthday.

Because they had purchased an extra yellow talisman yesterday, Xu Yan and Uncle Li went home quickly after finishing work.

Today is the day when Xu Yan marries Li Chulu.

Marriage in Stone Village is very simple. Xu Yan changed into new clothes at home and then went to the next door to welcome Li Chulu home, who was also wearing new clothes.

Since it will be dark soon, keep everything simple.

Xu Yan took the shy Li Chulu out of Li's house when she met the supervisor Wang Hai.

Looking at the extremely beautiful Li Chulu, her eyes suddenly widened.

After coming back to his senses, Wang Hai looked at Xu Yan with envy and jealousy in his eyes.

"Boy Xu, you are so lucky to have found such a beautiful woman."

At the same time, Wang Hai was very dissatisfied with Li Shi.

He has such a beautiful daughter, but she still hides it from him.

Wang Hai's revealing eyes gave Xu Yan a bad feeling. This bastard might have set his sights on Chulu.

"Master Hai, it's getting dark soon. I don't dare to stay outside, so I'll take my wife back first."

A meaningful smile appeared on Wang Hai's face, "Spring nights are short, I understand, I understand."

"Xu boy, enjoy your wedding night. I will talk to you tomorrow."

Wang Hai's words made Xu Yan's eyes flash with a cold light.

After staying in this world for so long and seeing countless lives and deaths, he is no longer the simple novice he was in his previous life.

After the system is activated, Xu Yan must find a way to kill Wang Hai.

Otherwise, if people are always thinking about their wife, they will not be able to live a stable life in the future.
