"But ......"

Whenever there was something in the family, it was stripped away by the Qin family, and only a little bud rice and a few sweet potatoes were left, and Liu Jun was a little embarrassed.

He's really useless, his sister has just escaped death, and her body is weak, but he can't take out an egg.

Liu Jiaojiao knew that he was starting to blame himself again as soon as she saw his expression, shook her head helplessly, and pulled him to sit down.

"Brother, I know you blame yourself." Liu Jiaojiao paused, constantly looking for the right wording in her mind, "We are very poor, we have not eaten the last meal, we can't live in a big house, we can't afford to buy new shoes and new clothes, and we are always bullied." ”

The more she spoke, the lower Liu Jun's head was buried, and in the end it almost went under the table.

Liu Jiaojiao sighed, she really didn't have the talent to be a confidant sister, she wanted him to see the current situation clearly and work hard, but it turned out like she was deliberately hitting him.

She struggled to keep her voice soft, and continued, "But we can make money to improve our lives." ”

After successfully appeasing the boy, the two cooked some porridge with the only bud rice mixed with sweet potatoes.

Originally, I thought that the Qin clan would go back to bring the rescuers, but I didn't expect that there would be no movement until it got dark.

Lamp oil is the cheapest inferior lamp oil, impurities and burn fast, when the lamp is lit, there is obviously more than half of the lamp oil in the plate, this is only burned for half an hour, and it is about to bottom.

Liu Jiaojiao drank porridge and tentatively, "Why don't you wonder why I came back from the dead, and why I can speak?" ”

The light of the fire became weaker and weaker, Liu Jun hurriedly found the lamp oil to renew it, and took the bamboo stick on the side and dialed the wick, "You can come back to life, I am grateful that it is too late for God to come, what is there to doubt?" And it is said that if you don't die in a great disaster, you will be blessed, and you can speak, which must be the blessing you get. ”

The firelight jumped again as if it had been reborn, reflecting the faces of both of them.

"Don't you notice that I've changed a lot from what I used to be?"

Liu Jun sat down, peeled a sweet potato and handed it to her, "No matter what you become, it's my sister." ”

Liu Jiaojiao took the sweet potato and chuckled, this young man is quite good at finding reasons, so she doesn't have to bother to explain, it's really ...... Lovely.

After eating, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Lying on the hard and narrow bamboo bed, Liu Jiaojiao didn't feel sleepy at all.

Although she just said it well, in fact, she didn't have any bottom in her heart, it was not so simple to change the status quo, if it was so easy to make money, how could the village be so poor?

Why do other people cross either with their own system or with their own space, anyway, there is always a golden finger, and she lives a prosperous life, why is she here with nothing?

Suddenly, a male electronic voice sounded in his head-

[Confirm that the keyword "system" appears, the system has been activated, whether to start the novice task?] 】

Liu Jiaojiao was almost scared to death by this sudden voice, system?

System? Through the talisman that the heroine in the novel hangs all the way, it must be!

Be.

Liu Jiaojiao made a choice without hesitation.

[Please ask the host to pick no less than fifty herbs, the task successfully obtains the "Encyclopedia of Herbs in the World", the task fails to open the punishment mode, the task time is one day, and the countdown starts ......]

What the? Picking no less than fifty herbs? But she didn't know any herbs!

Do Houttuynia cordata, honeysuckle and wild chrysanthemum count? Sanqi, gastrodia and ginseng, which she has only seen in the drugstore, what she has never seen when they grow in the soil!

Liu Jiaojiao had a headache, and the joy of having a system disappeared in an instant.

Also, what is the punishment mode? Electric shock? Deduct points? Or...... Straight obliteration?

Liu Jiaojiao didn't sleep well all night, and her mind was a mess.

Liu Jun got up before dawn, and was just about to carry the bucket to fetch water, when she saw Liu Jiaojiao's door open.

"Jiaojiao, why did you get up so early? What's wrong with your eyes? Didn't sleep well? Liu Jun was worried, and immediately put down the bucket and walked over, looking at her with concern.

Liu Jiaojiao shook her head, indicating that she was fine, and then asked without much energy: "Brother, when will you go up the mountain?" Can you take me with you? ”

She had to go up the mountain to find those damn herbs, but the original owner hadn't gone up the mountain except for the time when she was picked up, so she didn't know the way at all, so she had to follow Liu Jun.

Liu Jun immediately refused: "No, the road in the mountains is not easy to walk, and it is dangerous, you are still young, you can't go." ”

"But what if you don't have a baby, and you come looking for trouble again? It's fine if she comes alone, but she suffered a loss yesterday, and she will definitely find help! ”

Thanks to the Qin family, he gave her a perfect reason.

Liu Jun was really moved, gritted his teeth, and hesitated: "Then you must follow me, and run away immediately when you encounter danger, you know?" ”

Liu Jiaojiao immediately happily agreed.

Because she went up the mountain with her sister this time, Liu Jun carefully checked the hunting tools again, and also found two hemp ropes to tie Liu Jiaojiao's trouser legs, saying that she was afraid of poisonous insects or something to climb in through the wide trouser legs, and gave her a long bamboo stick, so that she could knock on the ground while walking, which could scare away snakes.

"Is this a scareless snake?" Liu Jiaojiao was a little inexplicably excited, but she didn't expect that one day she would be able to experience this idiom in person.

"Surprise the snake?" Liu Jun was surprised at first, and then smiled, "That's right, Jiaojiao is really smart, this word is used very well." ”

Isn't there no such idiom in this era? Liu Jiaojiao secretly decided to pay more attention to what she said in the future, and a little peasant girl who had been dumb for five years would never be able to make a statement.

After heating up and eating the leftover porridge from last night, the two went out.

The mountain next to the village is called Wolong Mountain, and the name is very majestic, but no one has seen a dragon for so many years, and there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Half of the village has to be crossed from the old house to the foot of the mountain, and most of the rural people get up early, and at this time they are either working in the fields, or carrying water or washing clothes by the river, so the road is very quiet.

When they were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, a man stopped them.

"Jun boy, did your grandmother trouble you again yesterday?"

It was Lao Li Tou, who was squatting on a small slope and smoking a pipe, and there was still a cigarette coming out of his mouth when he spoke.

"Grandpa Li, it's okay anymore, by the way, I'll tell you a happy thing, Jiaojiao can talk!" Liu Jun has always regarded Lao Li Tou, who is very good to him, as his own grandfather, so he can't help but tell him if there is a good thing.

As he spoke, he didn't forget to offer treasure and pulled Liu Jiaojiao over, "This is Grandpa Li, your favorite pears are all given to me by Grandpa Li." ”

Liu Jiaojiao showed a sweet smile, bowed politely to Lao Li, and said, "Hello Grandpa Li, thank you for the pear." ”

She will not hesitate to express her gratitude to those who have good intentions to the original owner.

Lao Li Tou stood up in surprise, then stroked his beard and laughed, "Okay, good, a good boy!" The pears at Grandpa's house are almost ripe, so I'll pick some sweet ones and send them to you! ”
