Why did you act on your own initiative?
After arriving in the new world, even though most of Chu Qing's memories had been erased, she still sensed something was wrong and became extremely angry.
The system huddled in that small corner, trembling with fear and not daring to speak. It was a little scared but dared not show it.
Whether it was its master's description of the commander or the various things it had heard about the commander from others, it completely believed that the commander would discover the truth.
The owner entrusted it with such an important task, which was a sign of complete trust. No matter what, it absolutely could not mess it up.
“Host, I can make excuses.”
"you say."
"Well, this kind of thing, well, it's probably... um, I don't know how to put it."
"Then let's not talk about it."
Chu Qing had been momentarily blinded by anger, but she had now come to her senses.
Since the system has chosen to do this, no matter how much it protests, it won't change anything. The relationships involved behind the scenes are probably areas that it cannot touch.
He came here to complete a mission and retrieve his memories; worrying about all this is pointless.
"Host?"
The system was just racking its brains trying to figure out how to argue with its host when the host suddenly said something that surprised and delighted the system.
"I am willing to believe you, and I hope you will not let me down."
After Chu Qing finished speaking, he kept observing the system's reaction in his mind. It was a ridiculous thing to gamble with one's luck on a system that had no ability to think for itself.
However, it seems that there is no other suitable solution besides this.
He could only choose the best course of action under the existing conditions.
"Okay, host."
Having never witnessed the wickedness of human nature, the system was now moved to tears by its host, almost to the point of shedding a sob.
It must not betray the trust its host has placed in it, just as it has never failed its master's expectations of it.
After temporarily resolving this matter, Chu Qing focused her attention on her current environment. The house looked a little dilapidated, but it was kept very tidy.
There were animal pelts hanging on the wall, as well as some tools that were somewhat strange and unfamiliar to Chu Qing.
Just then, there was a soft knock on the door. He stood up and walked to the door. As soon as he opened it, he saw a child of about three years old lying there.
He was clearly taken aback when the door suddenly opened, and was startled.
"Father..."
Xiaxia was slightly frightened when she saw her father's current appearance. She subconsciously took a step back, but then suddenly remembered that her father had said that he hated seeing him like this the most, so she forced herself to stand there and not move.
"Father, it's time to eat."
"good."
Chu Qing hasn't received all the memories related to the original owner yet, so she can only do as this little guy says for now.
After entering the kitchen, Chu Qing did not see anyone else, but steam was indeed rising from the pot, and there was the sound of firewood crackling in the stove.
Although somewhat incredulous, Chu Qing still focused her attention on the little guy in front of her.
If it were just the two of them at home, this would probably be what the little guy in front of them had prepared.
Xiaxia realized her father was watching her, and she became even more frightened. Her body even started to tremble slightly, and her voice trembled as she spoke.
"Father, I...I'll go catch fish this afternoon, please don't, please don't do this."
"Catching fish?"
"Okay, I'll go this afternoon."
"You are not allowed to go."
Although Chu Qing has not yet received the original owner's memories, she still reflexively refused when she heard such a small little guy say he wanted to go catch fish.
Catching fish in the river is inherently dangerous, let alone for such young children.
"Huh, huh?"
When Xiaxia got to this point, she thought her father would agree, but she was rejected instead. Her eyes widened and she stood there stunned. She mustered up her courage, took a step forward, and gently tugged at her father's clothes.
"Are you really my father?"
"Who else do you think I am?"
Chu Qing walked over and opened the pot lid. Inside were two bowls of porridge, a bowl of meat, and a serving of greens. The greens had probably been in the pot for too long, as the leaves had started to turn slightly yellow, making them look unappetizing.
After her father turned around, Xiaxia stared carefully behind him to make sure there was a shadow behind him before she breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Qing could tell what Xia Xia was thinking, and he took Xia Xia's little hand in his.
"Is it hot? If it's hot, it's not a ghost."
The child was probably too shocked to think about it deeply, and just nodded blankly.
Father's hands were warm; he could feel the temperature.
"That's good, isn't it? Come and eat quickly."
"Oh, here it comes."
Xia Xia originally intended to start helping as usual, but as soon as he reached out, Chu Qing lifted him onto the stool in front of the table and patted his shoulder.
"Sit still."
Having lost all her memories, Chu Qing felt that she had no experience in taking care of children, but she still subconsciously felt that such a young child would be quite noisy, and that well-behaved children were in the minority.
Xiaxia sat on the stool looking like a wooden doll, as if afraid that her father would think she wasn't obedient enough, with her hands placed on her knees.
After doing all this, her eyes remained fixed on her father, and the more she looked, the more incredulous she felt.
Is this my father? Is this really my father? Is this really, really my father?
Chu Qing brought several dishes to the table and placed a bowl of porridge in front of Xia Xia. Unfortunately, there were only chopsticks at home and no spoons could be found.
Xiaxia was a little awkward using chopsticks, especially when picking up meat. The way he frowned made it seem like he was using all his strength.
Chu Qing, watching from the side, was really worried for him, so she reached out and picked up a piece and fed it to his mouth.
Xiaxia stared at the piece of meat that was being fed to her, hesitated for a moment, but still leaned in and ate it. As she chewed slowly, she started to secretly look at her father.
He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that his father seemed like a completely different person today.
"What are you looking at?"
Chu Qing noticed his gaze and asked curiously, while Xia Xia quickly lowered her head and began to drink her porridge.
"No, I didn't see anything."
"I'm not some monster, hurry up and eat before it gets cold."
"good."
Xiaxia nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and quickly finished the bowl of porridge.
After dinner, he started to clean up the dishes and chopsticks as usual and put them outside. His father said to soak them in water so they would be easier to clean when he came back.
"Go play over there for a while, I'll take care of this."
"Oh." (Words: 'playful' - struggling {inside})
With that previous incident as a precedent, Xiaxia quickly went to the side after hearing her father say that, and moved a small stool to sit there.
I verbally agreed, but I was still a little uneasy.
Just then, Chu Qing contacted the system in her mind and asked it to transmit the plot of this world to her.
"Host, the world of this mission is quite complex, and there have been some problems with the transmission of the original plot. You can receive the original owner's memories and the original owner's path in the plot."
Just as the system was about to transfer everything at once, it suddenly discovered that the plot file was corrupted. Bai Yuan was currently on another planet dealing with another very serious matter and had no time to attend to this matter.
Prior to this, the system had no experience in handling such emergencies, so it handled the situation in the best acceptable way at present.
"good."
Chu Qing agreed. For him, the original plot development was not a very important thing, since he only had his own mission in his eyes.
In this world, the original owner's family was rather strange. The social environment of this feudal dynasty led most people to favor sons over daughters, but in their family, because they had never had a girl, the original owner's parents cherished their daughter after she was born.
If it's just a slight favoritism towards one child, that's not a big deal, since it's a common problem for most parents.
The problem is that the original owner's parents and grandparents were all forcing the other children in the family to spoil that daughter.
The original owner was sent to a hunter's house in the village by her parents because her six-year-old sister said she wanted to eat meat.
The hunter had a scar on his face that most people found quite frightening. In addition, the current dynasty favored scholars and admired a scholarly appearance, making those with a robust physique even less popular.
After the original owner was sent to the home of the hunter Wei Yutang, his parents cut off all contact with him and told others that they had no further relationship with him.
Having grown up in an environment where he was not valued, the original owner vented all his anger and resentment on his partner and son.
Based on all the memories Chu Qing has received so far, he genuinely feels sorry for Wei Yutang and Xia Xia.
Wei Yutang goes hunting during the day, getting up early in the morning to wait for Xiaxia to wake up before bringing back the first batch of prey to prepare breakfast for them.
After tidying up everything, he went to prepare lunch and put it in the pot. At noon, Xiaxia, who was only three years old, had already been taught by her father how to heat up the food.
After Xiaxia finished tidying everything up, she woke up the original owner of the body.
Later, the original owner saw his younger sister dig up a medicinal herb on the mountain, and he wanted to dig one too. However, because the road was slippery due to the rain, he fell off the mountain and lost his life.
After reading everything, Chu Qing felt that although the original owner did not deserve such a fate, he still felt that it was not unfair for him to end up like this.
Because she was momentarily distracted, she lost her grip on the bowl and it fell to the ground with a crisp sound before Chu Qing snapped back to reality.
Xiaxia, who was sitting on a small stool staring at her father, saw this scene and gave him a knowing look.
He knew he should trust his father and not let his father do these things; his father was not good at it, and it would be better for him to do it himself.
"I……"
Chu Qing subconsciously wanted to defend himself, saying that this matter should be quite simple and not difficult for him, and that it was just an accident.
"Father, let me clean it up."
Xiaxia went over to clean up the debris, but as soon as she squatted down, Chu Qing picked her up and made her stand aside.
