Chapter 12: Thank you
Wormwood looks at the fruits of her recent labor:
System Level: 5
Vitality: 30 years
Mental Power: Beginner 151/1000
Merit Value: 1
Brawn: 5
Affinity: 12
Amount: 60 gold coins, 6 silver coins, 38 copper coins
It's just that the level has gone up, and the gold coins have been emptied, which is not enough to upgrade, but I still sold three stupid spores, two wild goats, two wild boars, and some wild fruits.
The farm has already harvested a stubble, this time planting an acre of mung beans and some watermelon, mango, lychee, durian and other tropical fruits that they like to eat or are not common here, and after the last time the cabbage was ripe, all of them were collected and sold to the system.
The farm is already a thriving and vibrant scene, and with such achievements in a short period of time, Wormwood has an indescribable sense of satisfaction in her heart.
Guangguang's pocket, I have to go up the mountain to earn gold coins again, but fortunately, this time I took her wife with me, and the two of us can get more mountain goods.
Knock... Knock... knocked, there was a knock on the door, and at the same time I heard Ji Lao Niang shouting: "Little sister, someone is looking for it, come out." ”
——————
Ji Lao Niang opened the courtyard door and was a little surprised to see Li Zhaodi's mother and son outside the door.
Li Zhaodi married into the village, while Ji Lao Niang was from the village, and they both had their own circles of activity, and the Ji family lived outside the village, so they didn't usually have much contact.
"Second sister-in-law Ji, is wormwood at home?" Li Zhaodi also saw that Ji Lao Niang had doubts and went straight to the point.
Ji Lao Niang didn't look like she was looking for fault, and asked them to come into the hall to sit with a puzzled face, and asked Wormwood to come out by the way.
"Let's go into the mountain later, my little sister is going to change clothes, you guys wait a minute!" I didn't make it clear, I thought her little sister was too lazy to get up yet! Just in case, you can't underestimate the gossip of rural ladies.
"It's okay, it's okay, we're not in a hurry, the main thing is to thank Wormwood for saving our family's second pillar." Erzhu's mother, Li Zhaodi, hurriedly and vaguely said that they were here to thank them, not to find fault.
"I should have come over a long time ago, but the second pillar of our family was young and was shocked that day, and it was busy farming, so I didn't come until now." Li Zhaodi explained embarrassedly, not because they were ungrateful, but because of various reasons, they didn't have time to come.
"Mother, who is looking for me?" Wormwood came in and asked suspiciously, interrupting their conversation as well. When she saw Li Zhaodi and Erzhu, she understood.
"This is Erzhu's mother, you called Aunt Li, you are here to thank you for saving Erzhu on the mountain last time." Ji Lao Niang didn't think that her little sister was stupid, and she didn't understand when she saw people, mainly for Li Zhaodi and them.
"Aunt Li, you're welcome, it's all from the same village, and I happened to be there." Wormwood already has a system reward, and it doesn't take it seriously, to put it mildly.
"How can it! If you hadn't caught Erzhu, his missing arms and legs would have been light, but you also know that our family is poor, and there is nothing good to thank you, these eggs will make up for you, don't dislike it. Li Zhaodi was a little embarrassed and handed the basket of eggs in her hand to Wormwood.
Wormwood looked at Mrs. Ji and asked her to look at it, she was still a child, and her personal contacts were not suitable for recruitment.
"Everyone is having a hard time, and the wormwood hand is also good, we will accept it, and you can take the eggs back to the children to eat!" Ji Lao Niang was also a little angry with them at the beginning, she didn't teach the children well, and she was naughty and involved wormwood.
Time has passed, and the wormwood hands are also good, and Ji Lao Niang can also look at them with a normal heart. It's just that the wormwood is injured because of the second pillar after all, and the gift can not be accepted, and the words must be clear and clear.
Li Zhaodi directly put the basket on the table, pulled the hand of wormwood, and said to Ji Lao Niang with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, I am a cheerful person, one is one, two is two, I don't like to push around." I came here today to thank wormwood sincerely, there are not many things, just a heart. Don't shirk it, or I'm worried about whether you're too little. ”
Since the words were all said and done, Ji Lao Niang motioned for Wormwood to pour out the eggs, and then decorate the other party's basket with a return gift.
"Okay, I'll take the eggs, don't talk about what wormwood saved Erzhu in the future, and this matter will be over." Ji Lao Niang thought it through, and it was very simple.
I couldn't think of any gift in return, so Wormwood put a few oranges and a pound of brown sugar in the basket.
The whole basket didn't weigh much for a rural child, so he squatted down and handed the basket directly to Erzhu, who was glued to Li Zhaodi's side, and touched his head: "Give... Erzhu, are you frightened this time? Before you look at what you do next time, do you have to think about whether you can do it? If something really happens, it's too late to regret it, you know? "Children in the countryside are more precocious, she is not worried, Erzhu will not understand.
Erzhu lowered his head and took the basket, secretly glanced up at Wormwood, and quickly said softly: "Thank you, Sister Wormwood, I know." After saying that, she took a step back embarrassedly and hid behind her mother.
Li Zhaodi couldn't see it, Erzhu was so slimy as a male baby, he pulled it out directly, pointed to his head and said, "You kid..." ”
As she spoke, she was about to take out the things and put them on the table, but Ji Lao Niang hurriedly took her hand and said, "Take it for you, take it back and make up for the children, just order, I don't like to push around." ”
Li Zhaodi looked at Ji Lao Niang's appearance and knew that she was sincere, so she accepted it directly after thinking about it.
"That second sister-in-law, I won't be polite to you, everyone will be relatives in the future, I don't have anything else with his father, but I have a few strengths, if something shouts in the future, you still have to go into the mountain, I will go back first, and then come to the door." Li Zhaodi is also a man of action, so she lifted the basket and pulled her son to the gate of the courtyard.
"Okay, come back and play when you have time." Ji Lao Niang didn't stop them, and sent them directly to the door.
She couldn't wait to go into the mountains.

The cadres of the village committee saw that everyone had worked hard for so many days and decided to take a day off.
Speaking of rest, there is really no one who "rests" at home, and they all take advantage of this day not to work, clean up, enter the mountain, etc., and do everything that is usually too late to do as much as possible.
The Ji family is Ji's father and the food delivery team to the township community to deliver food, and Ji Lao Niang used the excuse of going into the mountains in two groups, so she could find more food.
drove the three brothers out in groups, and she herself followed Wormwood into Tiger Mountain.
Here in Hushan, wormwood is familiar with Ji Lao Niang.
The first two times I went to the place were a little too diligent, and some of the good things were not yet ripe. So she took Ji Lao Niang and walked to the other side.
Ji Lao Niang was still a little nervous when she first entered Tiger Mountain, and she watched wormwood "scare the grass and startle snakes" everywhere inappropriately, and she could talk to her nonsense sentence by sentence, so she slowly calmed down.
Wormwood is now accustomed to using mental power to look around all the time, except when she is not in good spirits. It is very convenient to enter the mountain, take Ji Lao Niang like a tour of the mountains and waters, pick wild vegetables and wild fruits when you see them, catch them when you see wild things, and throw them directly into the warehouse after picking them, there is no inconvenience only more convenient.
Wormwood came out of the house and was ready to go to the mountains, but there were no extra gold coins, so she could buy another weapon for her mother, but just in case, she gave the wooden bracelet to Ji Lao Niang to wear, and taught her how to use it.
"Mother, start to be more careful now, it's already in the depths." Although all preparations had been made, Wormwood still held her mother's hand tightly, and in case of an emergency, they could go to the farm together in an instant.
Repeatedly emphasized that Ash has been scanning the surroundings, paying attention to the situation, and in case of danger, how can he escape within 500 meters.
Looking at the deep mountains at a glance, the ancient trees are towering, the branches and rattans are intertwined with each other, and the trees are covered with dead branches and leaves.
Wormwood thought for a while, or let her mother go into the farm to cook, she first patted around, and then picked up branches to open the way, just whether the family, or the farm needs firewood, but every day is busy earning gold coins, there is no time to pick up firewood, now this is not bad.
Let Ash scan it, where there are good things, open the way, grab the wild things and throw them directly in the warehouse, don't pick the plants first, and wait for the meal with her mother, the two will work together quickly.
Luck came, I couldn't stop it, I didn't expect that Hushan actually found a few elixirs (Xiao Zhi said that these elixirs can only be refined into pills to have an effect, fresh elixirs are ineffective for wild spirits, so there is no guardian beast next to it, or it may not be able to dig it away), and there are several precious herbs such as gastrodia, Shikui, purple lingzhi and ginseng, it is really worth the trip!
After the meal, she took her and the two of them in a hurry, and only had time to dig up the elixir and precious herbs, and the wild fruits and nuts could only wait for the next time.
Originally, I wanted to go to the pond last time to see if there were any wild things, and by the way, I grabbed some more and collected some landscapes, but it was too late, and I could only wait for the next time.
Under the two back baskets, two live hares and pheasants were placed each, covered with fungi and wild vegetables, and Wormwood and Ji Lao Niang rushed back with one on their backs.
——————
The three tigers are also full of harvest, according to the official (Ji Lao Niang), in order to reward everyone, stew a pheasant soup at night, and then fry a braised rabbit meat to make up for everyone (in fact, it is to find an excuse to eat meat in every possible way).
When dinner was about to be ready, Wormwood volunteered to pick up Daddy Ji at the entrance of the village.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I found that a group of people were rushing back from a distance.
Wormwood instinctively walked forward, and through Ash, he saw an ox cart and several carts pulling 5 wild boars from a distance.
The image of everyone is embarrassed, her father is actually...
With a snort, Wormwood ran in front of her father, wanting to reach out and touch it, but she was afraid that her father would be hurt and injured, and said in a crying voice: "Dad, where are you hurt?" Seeing that her father was covered in blood, she thought that his father was seriously injured, and she was very scared, and she didn't notice that he walked back on his own.
"It's okay, it's the blood of a wild boar, and my father is not hurt at all." Daddy Ji reached out to him and patted the wormwood to show him, he was really not injured.
"Wow......" Wormwood had just found out that his father was covered in blood, and he had been worried, and as soon as his mood relaxed, he couldn't help crying when he hugged her father.
Father Ji patted the wormwood gently, and kept whispering in her ear: "It's okay, Dad, it's okay......"
