Eating problems

As soon as Jiang Chuan left, Zhou Lan sat next to Jiang Xia and touched her little face. She clicked her tongue and said, “I raised a fair and chubby girl! What happened to you? Xiao Xia, do you think we’ve transmigrated?”

“Transmigrated?” Jiang Xia mumbled the word a few times, deep in thought.

Zhou Lan had always been talking about transmigration and rebirth, so Jiang Xia had some understanding of specific fragments from online novels. It was true their situations were very similar.

Jiang Xia pondered as she accepted her mother’s wild imagination. Although it was a little unrealistic, they had to pay attention to one point: which is not to let anyone else notice their changes.

In any era, bad things always happen if they involve the supernatural. It wasn’t easy to live again, so they had to be careful. Jiang Xia explained her concerns to her mother, and she expressed her agreement.

Jiang Chuan returned with some wild fruits with two pairs of eyes moving back and forth from the fruits to his face. The pitiful look on their faces made Jiang Chuan feel a little guilty. He touched his nose and said, “There is very little food. It might be due to the drought.”

His words reminded Jiang Xia and her mother of a memory they had just gained. There had been no rain for several months, and the crops had died from the drought. People from town had been digging for wild vegetables for a long time.

Jiang Xia pursed her lips as her stomach growled. She could no longer put on a show and lay back without caring about her image. “Father! We barely escaped from the mudslide, but here we are, about to starve to death. Can we even survive?”

Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Jiang Xia calling him that. Zhou Lan knew what her husband thought when she saw his expression. She repeated what Jiang Xia had just said to her husband and added, “Sweetheart, do you think we transmigrated because I kept saying I wanted to lose weight and I am here to experience life?”

Jiang Chuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he placed the fruit in Zhou Lan’s hands. He then looked at Jiang Xia and told her, “Xiao Xia, come catch some fish with me. ”

“Fish?” Jiang Xia sat up from the ground and almost lost her balance as she had gotten up too quickly.

“Yes, I saw a small river over there. Let’s go take a look.”

“Alright!” Jiang Xia got up from the ground and followed in her father’s footsteps. Jiang Xia wanted to roll her eyes at her father for not allowing her mother, who had been practicing martial arts since she was young, to tag along. Her father loved his wife dearly and always reminded Jiang Xia to protect her mother.

When they both arrived at the riverside, Jiang Xia turned around and saw her mother slowly following along. She waved at her before rolling up her pants and entering the river.

The river was a little shallow, and the water was very clear, yet there was not a single fish in sight. Jiang Chuan was the knowledgeable one; he would pry open a few stones and could occasionally see a fish or two.

However, seeing it didn’t mean catching it. Zhou Lan watched as the father and daughter pounced on nothing but air. After much difficulty, he caught one, but it was not much bigger than her daughter’s tiny hand.

After trying it a few times, Jiang Xia gradually figured out the pattern. Her sharp eyes caught a mudfish hidden between two stones. She grabbed it this time but ended up getting soaked in water.

The father-daughter pair brought the four fish they had caught to Zhou Lan, all looking like they were waiting to be fed.

Seeing this, Zhou Lan burst out laughing, but she stopped after coming to a realization, “How do I cook this fish? There is no pot, no vegetables, and no seasoning… Why don’t I find a tree branch and skewer it? Fill our stomach first?” She learned quite a bit from the novels she had read.

Jiang Xia and his father looked at each other, their eyes full of grievance. Just thinking about it was enough to know how bad the food would be. With the lack of side dishes and seasoning, no one was sure if the fishy smell would be gone and if it was even possible to cook it.

“Sweetheart, I need the lighter. I saw quite a few branches over there. We can use them to start a fire,” Zhou Lan said while extending her hand to Jiang Chuan.

Seeing Zhou Lan’s hand reach out to him, Jiang Chuan reached into his pocket out of habit. But as soon as he reached out his hand, he remembered it was not his own clothes he was wearing.

Zhou Lan was still studying the fish when she noticed her husband had not made a move. She raised her head while Jiang Xia cast a suspicious glance at her father.

The three looked at each other and instantly realized they had not adapted to their current environment.

Zhou Lan laughed dryly and said to the two of them, “Fire, there’s no fire! The fish …”

As she spoke, Zhou Lan’s voice became lower, she ended up sounding a little dejected.”No food, no accommodation, and we are being abused by being in these bodies. What a life!”

Hearing this, Jiang Chuan’s heart sank. He turned to look at Jiang Xia, but to his surprise, Jiang Xia furrowed her brows and her eyes were dark as if she was thinking about something.

“Xiao Xia?” Jiang Chuan called out.

“Dad, do you think our family’s car might have come through here with us?” Jiang Xia looked at her father and asked in a serious tone.

Jiang Chuan’s first reaction was that it was impossible. They woke up in someone else’s body. How could the car get here? However, on second thought, it would be great if the car was really here.

Since they were on a self-driving tour, they had brought a lot of things with them as they wanted to have a meal in the wild. Besides daily necessities, there were also rice, noodles, fried eggs, vegetables, and even a solar-powered pot. If the car was here, they wouldn’t have to worry so much.

Jiang Chuan said with uncertainty, “Why don’t we go back and look?”
