Chapter 1: Heavy Snow

Snowflakes were falling heavily, and the cold wind felt like a knife.

The bitterly cold wind, like a blade, came in through a broken window, eagerly rushing into the small gaps in the blanket.

The slightly warm quilt was instantly disrupted by the influx of cold wind.

The wind, like a knife, blew on Li Yun's skin, awakening him from his sleep with its bone-chilling cold.

Hoo!

Li Yun threw off the blanket, breathing heavily. The sweat on his forehead indicated that he had a nightmare.

Sitting up, he put on a patched and barely thick enough garment. Li Yun looked at the snowy scene outside the window, his eyes filled with a strong sense of confusion and fear for the future.

"It has been two days..."

Two days ago, he was just an ordinary college student in modern society on Blue Star. He stayed up late reading novels until nine in the morning, and unexpectedly, something happened when he fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar ancient world.

Li Yun was in Chunyang Town, a small town ranked among the top three in population under the rule of Yuan Country.

Everything here, the historical process, was completely different from the history of Blue Star. The original owner's memories even included the existence of Martial Artists, who were highly skilled and powerful.

Martial Artists had immense strength, capable of breaking rocks with a single punch and shooting out like a flying sword. In the five thousand years of history on Blue Star, such a terrifying group had never appeared.

It was clear that he had completely left Blue Star and arrived in another world.

Although Li Yun enjoyed reading novels, he didn't feel excited when he actually transmigrated. Instead, he felt extremely lost and confused.

Ancient society had low productivity, and the common people had a very low status. They often couldn't eat enough or dress warmly. During times of great disasters and famines, the situation was even more unbearable.

If he had transmigrated into a prince or a wealthy family, it would be a different story. Even without any skills, Li Yun could live a good life with three wives and four concubines, with clothes and food readily available.

But transmigrating into a hunter living in a poor neighborhood...

It would be better to not even wear clothes.

The life of common people in ancient society couldn't compare to that of modern society at all. For example, at this moment, the cold wind made him shiver... His clothes were in tatters, and he couldn't eat enough or dress warmly. Just two days after transmigrating, Li Yun felt like he had lost weight.

"I really want to go back. Whoever wants to transmigrate can come," Li Yun said with tears in his eyes. He knew deep down that he probably couldn't go back.

Looking at the snow flying outside the window, a grumbling sound came from his stomach. Li Yun sighed and got dressed before getting out of bed.

Since he couldn't go back, he might as well live this life well.

There was still some hope in life, such as learning martial arts. Becoming a Martial Artist should improve the situation of not having enough to eat or wear.

"Uncle, are you going to gamble again?" A soft and cold voice of a woman sounded.

Li Yun followed the voice and could only see a petite figure about 1.6 meters tall, dressed in rags, squatting by the fire.

When squatting down, she looked small and delicate, like a little cat that evoked pity. However, her skin was dark, and her face was covered in dirt, making it hard to tell if she was a boy or a girl.

Looking at the small figure, Li Yun's empty heart was filled with a trace of warmth.

The woman's name was Xiao Rou, and she had a gentle personality.

The original owner of this body had encountered her half a month ago when he went to the town to buy food. At that time, she was a little beggar, dressed thinly, with a dark face that made her look like a boy. She fainted on the ground in the middle of winter, with no one to help her.

The original owner was generally kind-hearted. Seeing her fainting in the freezing weather, he knew that if he didn't help, she wouldn't see the sun the next day. So, he acted out of kindness and brought her back.

In these two days, although Xiao Rou was not particularly warm towards him, she took care of the household chores such as cooking and mending clothes.

Li Yun watched as she gradually got used to her presence.

"I don't gamble, I quit a long time ago."

"You said the same thing five days ago, and then three days later you went gambling again," Xiao Rou said softly, stating the facts.

Li Yun shook her head helplessly. Although the original owner had excellent archery skills, she had a gambling problem. Whenever there was money at home, she would inevitably go gambling.

If the original owner hadn't developed this bad habit, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

These days, having a skill is always better than being a poor farmer.

Li Yun said seriously, "The old me is already dead, I won't gamble again."

Xiao Rou stood up and looked at Li Yun. Her face was already dark, her hair messy, and it was hard to tell if she was a boy or a girl.

"Uncle, a few days ago you caught a snow eagle and sold it. Now you still have two taels of silver and a dozen copper coins. You can gamble again," Xiao Rou said earnestly, as if considering it for Li Yun.

"I said I won't gamble anymore, I'm serious," Li Yun shook his head, picked up his bow and arrows, and prepared to go out. "I'm going hunting, have the meal ready for when I come back."

"It's already cooked, have a drink. Eating will give you more energy," Xiao Rou stopped Li Yun and brought over a bowl of watery porridge.

Li Yun looked at the watery "porridge" that was visible to the bottom and said helplessly, "Is this water or porridge?"

"We don't have much rice left at home, we have to save," Xiao Rou explained.

"No need, I'll go to town later and buy some. Cook the remaining rice and ingredients, consider it a celebration," Li Yun said, taking a sip and furrowing his eyebrows.

"Alright," Xiao Rou nodded and prepared to cook.

However, Li Yun stopped her and said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself."

Xiao Rou was indeed hardworking, but her cooking skills were really not commendable. Even Li Yun was better than her. She had turned the porridge into paste. If she were to cook a dish, it would simply be a waste of food.

Li Yun put down his bow and arrows and quickly walked to the stove to start preparing the ingredients, while Xiao Rou squatted down to light the fire.

Gradually, the aroma of the meal filled the air.

Li Yun used the remaining small piece of bird meat to stir-fry with some vegetables, and used the leftover bird meat at the bottom of the pot to make a soup. It barely counted as a dish and a soup.

He placed them on the table, took a bite, and smiled at Xiao Rou, "Try Li Shu's cooking."

"Okay," Xiao Rou cautiously picked up a piece of bird meat, but then also picked up some vegetables and put them in her mouth, chewing lightly, momentarily lost in thought.

Li Yun mocked her, "This is how you cook. It has to have flavor to be called a dish. You can't do it, even the porridge turned into paste. Xiao Rou, you still have a lot to learn!"

As he finished speaking, Li Yun reached for the bird meat, but his hand froze in mid-air.
