Mo Qing woke up in a burst of hunger.

The leaky house, the oily black quilt, and the stool with missing legs all reveal poverty. I just slept for a while, how did I get here?Shaking my little head and looking at my little hands like chicken feet, hey~ How long has it been since I washed this?The nails are full of mud. Look at this body, it's only 4.5 years old!

There are more memories of the little girl in my mind: the same surname is Mo, her name is Mo Qing, the same as Mo Qing, her father went last month to collect medicine and fell off the cliff before she came back, and her mother was six months pregnant and died. I have an older brother who has been in the army for two years at the age of 15, and there is no news. My parents fled and didn't have any relatives. The little girl's memory is to follow her father to learn medicine and pick wild vegetables, and there are no neighbors around the mountain. Alas.

If you see a mole on the crook of your left hand that is the same as your own, could it be a golden finger? "System system" still doesn't respond. The heroine of the other family has to cross the necessary golden finger, and I thought there was one! The name is the same as the same sound, and there is also the same mole, what is the connection between this? Forget it, no matter what, live the front first. The stomach is growling, there are only two sweet potatoes in the kitchen, and the rats in the rice tank can starve to death if they fall. Light the fire and boil it, just eating sweet potatoes will make sour water, and heartburn, and when you go down to the cellar, you really don't have anything, and there are two handfuls of dried vegetables empty. I don't know if the underworld here will accept this foreign starving ghost.

"Ding exchange system is on! Reward a newbie gift pack!"

I saw 1 handful of dried vegetables on the panel for 2 yuan, looking at the rice a pound of 2.5, white noodles are also 2.5, fortunately there are wild vegetables in the mountains, two handfuls of dried vegetables bought for a pound of rice to eat first, I really don't have the strength to toss, I feel that my life is losing when I move! Sweet potatoes and white rice are boiled into porridge, ah, I finally came to life! Looking at this house, the living room is connected to the kitchen, and there are two bedrooms on the other, the big room was originally slept with the parents, probably afraid, so I went to sleep in another room, there was nothing in the room, the clothes packed in the box, the quilt on the kang was burned with the mother's hemorrhage in the memory, empty, and there was a cloth wrapped in the box, only 12.5 yuan, a pair of small gold earrings. There is a stove in the kitchen, on which there are two pots to put on, and there is a lot of firewood, and there is a small thatched hut outside that used to raise chickens. The gravel fence is about one meter and three meters, and it is said that it is afraid of wild boars coming down, but are you sure that this can be stopped? The roof of the tiles is fortunately not a thatched house, otherwise you can drink water if you really open your mouth on a rainy day!

Mo Qing put the knife in the small back basket and went up the mountain, it is now March, just when there are many wild vegetables, "Houttuynia cordata is 5 yuan a catty" sold for 30 and continues to move forward, and "toon sprouts a catty of 8 yuan" is all sold for 50. "Yu money is 8 yuan a catty" and sold it for 20, and the rest was taken home to eat. When I went down the mountain, I saw a little girl of seven or eight years old from a distance, it was Xiao Tao from the village, and when she saw her, she hurriedly ran over: "Qingqing, why did you go up the mountain by yourself? I went to your house to look for you, and you were not there, and you have to call me when you go up the mountain in the future?

One child teaches another child to be obedient, and it feels fresh to be taught by a child. "I can't walk far up the mountain when I have no vegetables at home, I picked up too much elm money, you take it back"

"Later, you call me up the mountain, and bring my brother with you, he has a slingshot. I don't have much to eat at home, and the fish my mother brought back from my grandmother's house has been sold and exchanged for food," Mo Qing knew that it was not much better when she saw that her sharp hair was yellow.

"It's going to be fine" Mo Qing couldn't speak, how good can this era be? In his memory, four or five-year-old children had to carry baskets and busy making rations. "It's good to see that you're okay, you're too biased here, tomorrow is the market, will you go?" My aunt gave birth to a little brother, and my mother will take me to the town tomorrow."

"Go, what time is it tomorrow?" Mo Qing thought about going to the town to have a look.

"When you get up at dawn, come to my house to look for me, I'll go home first" Xiao Tao put his hands behind his back and walked away like the village uncle. Mo Qing sold it for 100 yuan in the system today to see what he could buy. There is also a newbie gift package, there is a 30*50 warehouse, two coarse cloths, (skill) herbal nose, this bag of 100 pounds of cornmeal. Cornmeal and elm money were steamed for dinner. Bring the skill up the pitch and see the effect when you go up the hill.

I'm going to the town tomorrow and go up the mountain to see what herbs I can collect. When I walked to the mountainside, I moved my nose and could only smell it at a range of about 30 meters. This is motherwort, picked almost to go forward, this is Polygonum multiflori, dig it out and put it in the back basket, sell it in the town tomorrow, wormwood system collects 3 yuan a catty, March Yinchen April Artemisia, May cut when firewood, spring and autumn digging roots and summer grass, berry first ripe flowers with buds. He plucked wormwood in a basket,

Artemisia annua, licorice, a few honeysuckles on the gentle slope, the harvest is quite abundant, the sun has turned west, the belly is already singing a symphony, hurry down the mountain and go home. Put the herbs in the yard and spread them, cook dinner and wash them all, the yellow hair can't be combed, so I had to buy a tasteless shampoo package in the system, lying on the bed and thinking about the way out in the future, Mo Qing's father will often collect medicine and sell it to the pharmacy in the town, and also serve as the barefoot doctor in the village, so the village only gives food, and he has to work in the future, he has no foundation in the village, first leave the impression of hardship and hard work, and if something happens, there will be someone to help talk.

The sky was slightly bright, and Mo Qing hurriedly ate breakfast and walked to the village. "Qingqing, you're here, we're ready, let's wait for Grandpa Lu's ox cart at the entrance of the village" Xiao Tao held the blackened dough cake in her mouth, and neatly put the small back basket on her back.

"Qingqing is here! I left you two pieces of bread here, you take them and eat them, and you still have something to do with us at your aunt's house later?"

"No need, I've eaten it, I won't go with you, say hello to my aunt, I have to sell this herb for some food" The ox cart came, and there were already several people sitting on the cart, combing their hair straight, and carrying a basket or cloth bag, "Go" Uncle commanded the ox with the whip in his hand.

"Hey, you're the little doll of the old Mo family, right?

"But no, the little one cried on the day her mother left, saying that she wanted to keep this home for her parents, alas, it also caused evil, and Ajie didn't have any news"

"My father taught me a lot, I can't go into the mountains when I'm young, these are all common herbs, save more money to repair the house and wait for my brother to come back to marry a daughter-in-law" Mo Qing knew that no news was good news, when Mo Jie went to be a soldier, he was selected, and the family didn't even know which unit. The person who came said to keep it secret.

"Your brother, hey, I live far away, I have time to talk to my aunt, I can't do anything, go to my aunt's house to say hello" The woman who spoke was the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief's family.

"Thank you, auntie, don't bother me in the future"

"Go back at two o'clock in the afternoon, don't be late" Uncle Lu drove away with the ox cart.

"Qingqing, don't you really go with us? Don't be deceived when you go by yourself, be careful of the kidnappers, and if you have something, you will shout to find the adults around you!"

"I'm not afraid, I've been here with my father, you can go" Mo Qing waved his hand, the current pharmacy is still privately owned, and it will belong to the state next year. When the time comes, the ticket system will be implemented, and many things will not be able to be bought. There is only one old man in the pharmacy, and he is reading a book!"What medicine does the little girl want to buy?"

"Hello grandpa, I picked some medicine, you can see and give a good price"

"These are not concocted, the honeysuckle will be dried next time, He Shou Wu is worth five yuan, the honeysuckle has six catties to give you three pieces, and the rest will give you three pieces of five, 11.5 take it, remember to dry it in the future!

"Okay, next time I'll take a good show, thank you grandpa" Mo Qing took twenty catties and only sold for more than ten yuan, He Shou Wu accounted for the majority, the money is really not easy to make, next time I sell it to the system more, and the family must also have a source of income in the past. In addition, there are twenty-four yuan at home, and when I walked to the supply and marketing cooperative, "please help me get two boxes of soap and two towels" There are few things here, that is, there is only one kind of soap, and the towels are just as single and lonely, and the things on the shelves are empty, this is actually a place that many people in the village yearn for, incredible! And the price is even more staggering, it is actually a few decimal places, that is to say, Mo Qing bought these two things, and each of them was less than two yuan. There is really nothing to say about this price.

Hurriedly bought two buns in the restaurant for only three cents, to the place where the meat was sold to buy three catties of meat, five catties of bones, this body has to be repaired, go to the corner and put it in the system warehouse, you have to buy a few chickens, on the way met Huang Auntie, "Why don't you say it earlier if you want to buy chickens?"

"Don't worry about buying it with my aunt, it's not that I don't know, I'll go back to your house to catch it," Mo Qing went to buy black noodles after they separated, which contained wheat bran, three cents a catty, and an orphan girl didn't dare to take out the white noodles, the white noodles cost five cents, and the rice was more expensive and cost one dollar. I bought vegetable seeds, and I could plant them on my family's own land. Go to collect the scrap and see, the landlord has a lot of furniture.

I found an excuse to buy newspapers and paste the wall to take a look, the most books in the late Qing Dynasty of the Republic of China, as for the others, there are more woodware, porcelain can be used as bottles and jars, broken and thrown garbage heaps more, as for gold, silver, copper and iron, gold and silver are also known to be hidden in the unseen, and the basic looting is almost, so, this wood is the most thing besides books, after all, at this time, people pay more attention to practicality, rather than the material of wood.

So soon Mo Qing found more than a dozen valuable old books in the outer warehouse of the scrap recycling station, as well as two scrolls of calligraphy and painting, three benches made of good wood, one pedal, and one that was dismantled into pieces, but strangely a complete wooden frame bed. Although these materials are not the best, Mo Qing likes it, not for anything else, just for the complicated carvings on it, and when the limelight passes, he will put it at home. Put the books and the wooden shelves and beds in the system warehouse.

Took two sets of textbooks for elementary and junior high schools, old newspapers, Mo Qing came out and spent a piece of three, and went back to repair the stool and use it. It was not too early, and seeing that Xiao Tao was already sitting on the ox cart, Mo Qing quickened his pace and walked over.

"What did you buy? I've been waiting here for a long time and I thought something had happened to you. If you don't come to the car, you'll leave!"

"I bought two sets of textbooks, and I plan to go home and learn by myself, isn't this my father teaching me to read, you can come and learn with me!

"Qingqing, you are so good, I am busy beating pigweed, and I will learn from you when I am free" There are not many people who go to school in the village, the town is too far away, like the village chief's brother Jianguo wants to live in a dormitory, and he only comes back on weekends and brings rice to cook by himself.

Finally, when the car arrived in the village, I first went to buy three roosters and five hens, and raised them while there was no limit, and today I spent more than six yuan, so I have to hurry up and earn money.

Chicks run around the yard and sprinkle seeds on the loose soil of the yard. The plot is going to be planted with potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn.
