Chapter 1: The Farm

Next Chapter

Outside the small window high above, a glimmer of light sneaks in, so that the dimly lit stone house can also be clearly visible. The stone walls around it are covered with old newspapers, making the stone house feel clean and refreshing.

In the fairly wide stone house, there is a one-meter-two bamboo bed, which is covered with a thick layer of straw and a dark brown bamboo mat; There was a small bamboo stool stuffed under a simple desk next to the bed, two dehaired brushes stuck in a bamboo pen holder on the table, and a patched military schoolbag that the owner had put on it; At the foot of the bed was a heavy camphor chest on a low cabinet that had been painted off, and the owner of the house could have it in his own years, less than the above, and more than the bottom.

There was a little girl about eight or nine years old lying on the bamboo bed, covered with a washed, white-green single quilt, and a towel on her forehead that could no longer see the primary color.

The dark yellow little face was obviously unhealthy flushed, her whole body was trembling, and her little head was still shaking from time to time, as if she was going to shake something off.

Memories that do not belong to her flashed like a horse watching the lights, and in the chaotic and disorderly picture, there were long sighs and short sighs, as well as laughter, and the scenes were forcibly stuffed into her little head, making her have a splitting headache and pain. After a long time, it finally slowly ...... Slowly...... Be still.

The old wooden door of the stone house creaked, and Ji Lao Niang quietly walked in with a medicine bowl, and saw her daughter Wormwood lying there and had not woken up.

"Little sister... Younger sister? Get up and drink the medicine before you go to sleep! The dazed wormwood felt the gentle voice of Ji Lao Niang ringing in her ears.

Putting the medicine bowl on the desk next to the bed, Ji Lao Niang sat on the edge of the bed, took the towel on Wormwood's forehead, and tested her body temperature again.

Well... Nodding his head - it has been almost a day since he relapsed, and he is finally relieved. Gently holding the wormwood, let her sit up against Ji Lao Niang, and feed her little by little with the medicine bowl.

Wormwood was sick this time very dangerously, five days and five nights, and had a fever repeatedly, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no way, so he kept dragging it, he should have gone to the county hospital a long time ago.

It's just that Xiaoye Village is a veritable small mountain village, and the township community only has one bus to the county seat every morning. You need to take a two-hour ox cart ride to the township, and then an hour's bus ride to the county seat.

The villagers of Xiaoye Village are so poor that every household is tinkling, the minor illness is seen by the barefoot student Hao Bo in the village, and the major illness is endured if it can be endured, and it can be delayed, and no one goes to the county seat until it is absolutely necessary, which is neither convenient nor money.

"Mother, how is the little sister?" The little brother and the four tigers cautiously stuck their heads in from the door and asked.

Ji Lao Niang gently put the wormwood and lay down, pulled her sheet over the cover again, picked up the empty bowl, waved his hand and asked him to go out first: "Let's go... Let's go out first, don't wake up your little sister. He muttered as he walked towards the door.

walked to the door and lightly closed the wooden door, and when he looked up, the father and son looked at Ji Lao Niang intently, their eyes flashing with anticipation.

"It's okay, the fever has subsided." I couldn't cry or laugh, I felt like the leader was talking, and the villagers below were obediently waiting for the leaders' instructions.

"Eat... Eat..., finish early, rest more, and don't be too tired when you go to work in the afternoon, your little sister will probably wake up at night. Knowing that her daughter's illness was about to be cured, she breathed a sigh of relief, and Ji Lao Niang's voice became brisk.

"The summer harvest is coming soon, and the second brother and third brother are also going to have a summer harvest holiday, right?" Sihu asked while drinking sweet potato porridge. This time, his little sister was sick, and Father Ji and Lady Ji were so anxious that they didn't take care of the Four Tigers. Although the children of the poor are in charge of the house, but the four tigers are the eldest in the family after all, and his little sister is a dragon and phoenix fetus, just 2 hours older, there has always been a big man on top, this time I was really scared, I especially want the two brothers to be at home, there is a backbone in my heart, do not panic.

The second brother and the second tiger went to the first year of high school in the county seat at the age of 17, and the third brother and the third tiger were in the second year of junior high school at the age of 15.

There is no primary school in the nearby villages, most of them are illiterate, and the most that they want to go to the literacy class is to go to the literacy class, and those who have the conditions to go to school can directly live in the dormitory of the primary school in the township; There are also people like the Four Tigers and Wormwood who feel that they have no problem studying at home, so they are registered in school, and they let their brothers and sisters teach at home, and they will not accumulate problems and ask the teacher together, and then the monthly examination will be present, and those with excellent grades can also be issued a graduation certificate.

"Soon, it should be just these days, don't you wander around, have you written your homework? Wait for your brother to come back and check, if it doesn't pass the ......, you will understand. "Ji Lao Niang has just stopped at the point, the two of them have no education, and they have always been the gatekeepers of their elder brothers.

"Ah...... It's over, it's over, I forgot to write it. The four tigers scratched their hair vigorously, they forgot all about it, he has always been passive in learning, usually wormwood remembers, and then pulls him along, wormwood has been sick for so many days, the result can be imagined.

"Then you can do it yourself! Anyway, your mother doesn't understand. When your brothers come back from vacation, your little sister is estimated to be fine, and then cut a piece of pork, and everyone will make up for it together. "When Mrs. Ji has a lot of things to do at home and there are not enough people, she especially misses her two sons.

"Wow... Wow...! "I shouted and jumped excitedly, and when I talked about meat, I forgot about my homework......

It's no wonder that since I ate it for the New Year, I haven't eaten meat for seven or eight months, and I'm hungry for a long time, but I just know that my family has no conditions, so I mention it sensibly.

Father Ji and Mrs. Ji glanced at each other, smiled and shook their heads, distressed and helpless.

————————————

After Wormwood went out, Wormwood woke up after a while, but she was still a little confused when she woke up, and she couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest. Lying quietly on the bed without moving, I closed my eyes and rested for a while, cleared my little head, and then remembered what was going on with me.

She didn't know which switch she had triggered, and it was just a simple heat stroke when she suddenly received that memory, which made her brain too large and uncomfortable and caused repeated fevers. She didn't know if it was a memory of her past life or just a dream, a clear dream. Although memory is just memory, I don't feel it when I don't want to, but thinking about it is like watching a movie or TV in my memory, the picture is clear and clear.

According to "her" memory, it will soon be a catastrophic year for the entire Tang Kingdom. Some areas are caused by drought, others are affected by typhoons, etc., and each region is different. The most common ones in Xiaoye Village are mudslides and floods.

But this year is also expected to be a drought, because until now, the rainy season has passed, and it has not rained, and everyone already knows it.

It's just that everyone doesn't take the drought too seriously, the sea is located in the east of Yongxian County, next door to Yue City, and the north of Wen City is close to the river.

Therefore, for people with abundant water, it is just a hard point, and they need to carry water to water the ground every day, and the grain will fail, but it will not be a grain harvest and people will starve to death.

Wormwood is lucky, and has already received a hint from the heavens in advance, just in case, she must find a way to store as much food as possible before the famine comes. I hope that after protecting my family, I will have the spare strength to help the villagers who are destined.

Noticing that there was no movement outside, Wormwood thought of her golden finger - at the age of five, she fell from a bayberry tree and accidentally cut the birthmark on her left wrist, a birthmark brought from her mother's womb. Watching the birthmark go from bleeding to scarring is just a matter of minutes.

They all said that they were curious about killing the cat, and they wanted to touch the wound if it was true, but they went directly into a room. At that time, I was young and I didn't know anything, so I thought I was locked up by a monster, and I was so scared that I cried and cried to go home. After finally coming out, she was worried about being treated as a monster, so she didn't dare to tell anyone, and she didn't think there was such a thing herself, and she didn't go in again.

I don't know if it's still there, this should be the kind of storage space in my memory, with it, I am more confident in getting through the difficult time.

——————

That scar just split the birthmark of Xingyue in half, and it also has an indescribable charm. Wormwood reached out and touched the birthmark - how did she not react, and she didn't know how to get in, it was purely by mistake last time.

The little head was stunned for a moment, blank, and his eyes lit up and he really entered the space, and it is estimated that the desire to enter is too strong, and the wormwood smirked secretly.

Glancing at the space, I couldn't resist the idea of exploring the space right away, so I still found out the rules of entry and exit first.

Thinking about "going out", no reaction ... I thought about the scene just now, and it seemed that I came in by touching the birthmark, and I tried it again... Immediate results. I went in and out a few more times, and after it was okay, I started to look at the space.

Now standing should be a living room - in the middle is a simple and generous silver modular sofa, on which is still silver upholstered, and in front of the sofa is a silver coffee table with a set of silver tea sets on it, and silver glitters can be seen everywhere.

On the front wall is a large screen that reads "Star and Moon Farm System", system...... I thought it was just space, but I didn't expect it to be a system.

The hand reacted faster than the brain, and he couldn't wait to press the screen, and suddenly a mechanical voice sounded, "The Xingyue Farm system is starting, and it will be completed in 24 hours." Before Wormwood could react, it was forced to be sent out. I can't get in if I try again, it seems that I have to wait a day, and I can only enter at this time the next day.

Wormwood's whole person was stimulated, obviously very tired, but couldn't help but think excitedly.

But after all, after recovering from a serious illness, I fell asleep in a daze.
