[Animal Speech + Adorable Child + Exile + Transmigration Between Two Worlds + Beloved by All + Stockpiling]
Five-year-old Tuan Tuan was once the little miss of a general's household, where she wanted for nothing. But she never imagined that overnight, the general's residence would be confiscated and her whole family exiled.
Her parents were pierced through the collarbones, unable to speak or move. They were left in a dark, damp cave with no food or water. Her mother had a high fever, her grandfather turned gray overnight, and her parents and uncles were on the verge of starving to death.
Tuan Tuan was so worried she burst into tears. As she cried, she somehow found her way into another world! There were steaming-hot bun shops, mountains of rice, flour, and cooking oil, and shelves piled with canned food and ham... Tuan Tuan, buy! Stock up! Save Papa and Mama!
And then things took a rather unexpected turn.
While everyone else gnawed on tree bark, Tuan Tuan pulled a big white bun from her tattered bundle. While others drank muddy water, she took out a thermos of warm milk.
Best of all, Tuan Tuan could sit by the roadside, listen to the ants, and find out where the water was. A chat with an eagle told her when the soldiers changed shifts. When the mice squeaked in the middle of the night, Tuan Tuan clapped her hands and said, "Papa! They say there are wild fruits beyond the mountain!"
From then on, while everyone else was struggling to survive on the three-thousand-li exile, Tuan Tuan was stocking up on supplies. Chocolate was wrapped in her ragged clothes, compressed biscuits were tucked under her straw sandals, and even the stray dogs by the roadside became her lookouts. "Woof woof squad, Tuan Tuan has to save Papa today. Will you help keep an eye on the bad guys?"
Later, with the animals carrying messages for her, Tuan Tuan stocked nine granaries along the route. Later still, an imperial decree arrived: The case against the general's household had more to it than meets the eye. Clear their names at once.
Exile turns into being doted on by all, the wilderness turns into a supermarket. A three-thousand-li struggle to survive becomes, thanks to her stockpiling, a road trip!
