Chapter VII
Zeng Xiao checked the task:
Credits: -762/5000
Mission countdown: 64:43
That's 5,762 points in 64 hours!
In fact, there are several tasks that can be taken on in the yard now, such as:
Wrap a cold-proof hemp rope around the corner of the triangle plum 50 points
Rescue the turtle stuck in the sewer 600 points
Release a rabbit for 600 points
……
Releasing a rabbit is so much more points than killing a rabbit?!
It's a pity it's not her rabbit.
In winter, it gets dark early, not yet 7 p.m., and it's already dark, except for the light in the house, there is only a line of words floating above the mission target in the yard, flashing with a faint fluorescence.
Zeng Xiao picked up the tasks that he could do, and when Grandma Chen called for dinner, the debt was finally paid off!
"Girl Xu, what are you busy with?"
"There was a turtle frozen in the sewer in the yard, and I pried it out!" Zeng Xiao helped bring the dishes to the table, and took out a palm-sized turtle from his pocket, the turtle's head and limbs were shrunk in the shell, motionless, the turtle shell was cold and biting, and he didn't know if he could save it!
The old and young were discussing whether to soak the turtle in warm water, and the sound of footsteps and laughter sounded in the yard.
"You guys are blessed today, the old woman has good skills!" Old Man Chen held Dajun's hand, slowly sat down on the chair, and reached out to rub his knees: "Girl Xu, your Grandma Chen's spicy hot pot is very delicious, you can eat more later!" ”
Zeng Xiao nodded with a smile, and said with concern: "Grandpa Chen, what's wrong with your leg?" ”
"It's okay, it's old! As soon as it snows, it's good to wait for the weather to warm up! Old Man Chen smiled and said, "Sit down, it's not early, are you hungry?" ”
Zeng Xiao pondered, rheumatism should be considered a negative state, right? I wonder if the recovery pill can be cured?
"Hey, where did the turtle come from?" As soon as Xiao Zhou sat down, he found the turtle in Zeng Xiao's hand, "It's not small, it's ready to be stewed!" ”
As soon as Xiao Zhou's voice fell, two lines of small words immediately appeared above the turtle's back that only Zeng Xiao could see: "600 points for releasing turtles, 50 points for raising turtles every day"
Zeng Xiao almost laughed, this turtle's desire to survive is quite strong!
Hurriedly touched the turtle shell comfortingly, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, this turtle is what I want to raise, but I can't eat it!" ”
So, the topic turned to how to feed the turtles, and the meal was enjoyed by the guests and hosts.
After eating, Zeng Xiao helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, returned to the room, took out the small medicine bottle containing the Restoration Pill from the space sticker, and pondered how to let Grandpa Chen eat the pill. She has taken a few pills produced by the system, and I believe that even if it doesn't work, there will be no problems!
Suddenly, I found a clean cup in the room, poured a cup of boiling water, put the small red pill in it, and shook it a few times, the pill quickly dissolved, and the boiled water turned into a golden reddish color. It looks very similar to the saffron-soaked water that my grandfather drank before!
Zeng Xiao carried a glass of water, walked through the hall, and knocked on Grandma Chen's door.
"Miss Xu? Come on in! The door is unlocked! ”
She pushed the door open and entered, and saw Grandma Chen soaking Grandpa Chen's feet, which were soaked in a knee-deep wooden barrel with brown potions, and the room was filled with the smell of Chinese herbs.
"Soak your feet before going to bed and sleep soundly!" Grandma Chen looked at her and explained to her.
"Yes, my grandfather used to be too, every winter, he had to soak his feet to sleep warmly!" Zeng Xiao said with a smile: "I just saw Grandpa Chen's leg hurt, and I remembered that my grandfather used to soak saffron water to drink rheumatism very well, and I just happened to have a little saffron there, so I soaked it and gave it to Grandpa Chen to try!" As he spoke, he handed over the water glass.
Old Man Chen happily took the cup: "Xu girl has a heart!" Grandma Chen glanced at Grandpa Chen and did not speak.
"Drink it with confidence! The storage is effective! Zeng Xiao was afraid that Old Man Chen would not drink, so he hurriedly promised.
Old Man Chen looked at her and said with a smile: "Okay, good, I believe in our Xu girl!" After speaking, he blew on the mouth of the cup, and when it was not so hot, he drank it in two or three sips!
As soon as the water hit his stomach, Old Man Chen immediately felt a warmth spread from his stomach and reached his whole body, and for a while, it was like the whole person was soaking in a hot spring, and he was so comfortable that he wanted to hum a few times!
"Girl Xu, where did you get this saffron?" As soon as Old Man Chen drank it, he knew that it was not an ordinary thing.
"I don't know, it's my grandfather who left it, and there's only so little left, just enough to soak once!" This pot will be pushed to Xu Shengnan's grandfather, anyway, his old man is gone, and Grandpa Chen can't find anyone if he wants to ask!
"Sleep well, tomorrow should be much more relaxed!" Zeng Xiao hurriedly said goodnight to Grandma Chen, slipped back to the room, and earned points, tonight is another night to brush up on questions!
The next morning, Zeng Xiao was woken up by a sound of birds, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Meat Meat lying boredly on the bedside table and playing with turtles. Last night, Zeng Xiao put it on the bedside table before going to bed, and after a night of thawing, the turtle has completely come back to life, and every time the turtle sticks out its head, the flesh will slap it on the back, so frightened that it quickly retracts again. I don't know how long the meat has been playing, Zeng Xiao seems to be able to feel the depression of the turtle!
"Master, you're awake!" The flesh pounced happily.
"What time is it?"
"It's past eight o'clock! The owner is a big lazy worm! "Flesh pouted, the master woke up so late, it was so boring!
Zeng Xiao brushed the questions until more than two o'clock in the morning last night, and earned 748 points in 5 hours, plus the few points left over from saving the turtle and the like before, and now he has 836 points.
According to 5 hours and 700 points, the remaining 4200 points rely on brushing questions, which takes about 30 hours, and now there are 50 hours and 22 minutes in the countdown to the task, which also includes two nights, except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time must be used to do the questions to complete!
Time is a bit tight! I also have to leave some time to accompany the two old people, and tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, I'm afraid I won't have time to do the questions!
Hearing the sound of the two elders talking in the yard, Zeng Xiao hurriedly got up!
"Why don't you sleep more? Studied late yesterday, right? Grandma Chen saw her come out and quickly wiped her hands, "Breakfast is warm in the pot, I'll bring it to you!" ”
"No, no, I'll do it myself!" Zeng Xiao hurriedly walked a few steps and went to the kitchen to bring out the porridge and steamed buns. Grandma Chen brought a small plate of pickles, and it was just right to eat porridge.
After Grandpa Chen finished Tai Chi, he walked in while shaking his arms: "Girl Xu, your medicine is really amazing!" When I woke up this morning, not only did my legs no longer hurt, but even my old back pain was cured, and I seemed to see things a lot clearer. Have you ever heard of the truth of sin? ”
Zeng Xiao nodded, his eyes were a little moist, what a simple old man! When encountering this good thing, the first thing that comes to mind is her safety!
"Grandpa Chen, don't worry! That medicine is gone! If there is such a thing in the future, I will definitely be careful. Thank you! Zeng Xiao said gratefully: "I don't have any relatives anymore, you and Grandma Chen will be my grandparents in the future!" I will be filial to you! ”
Old Man Chen laughed: "I've been waiting for you for a long time!" He turned his head and said to Grandma Chen: "Old woman, there are two more dishes at noon, we have a granddaughter!" Celebrate! ”
