I Don't Want to Farm

Yu Xiuer found someone in the river. The person was swollen from the water and had no pulse. She was about to go back and get someone to dig a grave and bury her when the person suddenly opened her eyes and stood up, giving her a fright.

She looked the water-swollen person over. They wore strange black clothes, and she couldn't tell their gender. They were very tall, a head higher than her, and their hair was very short, only a little longer than the shaved heads of the monks in the temple.

This should be a boy.

Yu Xiuer asked the person their name, hometown, year of birth, where they came from, and where they were going.

The person stared at her blankly, their eyes darting around.

She thought to herself: Could this person be an idiot? Or maybe mute?

Poor thing.

If it were a girl, she could take her home and share some food with her. But she couldn't be responsible for a boy.

Yu Xiuer left, but the person kept following her. All along the way, she could hear the person's stomach growling.

Fine, she'd give him something to eat, then tell him to leave.

Who knew he would latch onto her? Wherever she went, he followed.

Just then, the village head announced that the court had suffered years of warfare, leaving few men of working age. To encourage childbirth, unmarried women over fifteen who remained unmarried would be taxed an extra twenty. Widows who remarried would get a tax reduction of fifteen.

Yu Xiuer thought to herself: Forget it. The family could use a strong laborer to haul manure anyway. He'd do!

Lin Nuo was born under the red flag and raised in the spring breeze. Her family was middle class. During winter break of her freshman year, she went skiing with a friend, fell off a snowy mountain into an icy river, and died.

She knew she was dead, but she had no idea why she could open her eyes again.

It was still her own body, and she was a little confused.

The person who rescued her didn't look like someone from the modern era either. She wore coarse hemp clothes, her hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and she had delicate, pretty features. She also spoke some dialect from who knew where, and Lin Nuo couldn't understand a word.

Had she transmigrated? Wasn't transmigration into a book with a System all the rage these days? With a huge golden finger, and as a transmigrator herself, haha, her life was about to get a major boost.

After waiting a long time, there was no System in her mind and no advance knowledge of the plot. Lin Nuo started to panic.

She wasn't stupid. She had no literary or martial skills, was only a freshman, had no practical life skills or real-world experience, and couldn't even speak the language in this strange ancient world. Just figuring out how to survive would be a problem.

When she saw the woman who had saved her leave, Lin Nuo made up her mind to stick with her.

She looked like a kind-hearted big sister, and she was beautiful, too~

After hauling manure for a few days, Lin Nuo decided to take back what she'd thought about Yu Xiuer. Hah! This woman was a smiling snake, Yu the Exploiter!!!

Yu Xiuer saw Lin Nuo slacking off on the ridge between the fields, grabbed the feather duster from home, and chased after her. "Lin Nuo, if you don't finish hauling the manure, don't expect dinner tonight."
