After crying, the girl looked up, and found that she didn't know someone in her teary eyes, she first shook her face, and then her face changed greatly: "My lord, it's not like what you see." ”

As she spoke, she got up and spread her hands to block the vegetable patch behind her, but the vegetable patch was so big, where could she block it, and apparently the girl had also discovered this.

She knelt down on the ground in a panic and said, "My lord, I beg you to be gracious, please forgive me for a while, it was the green leaf worm that ate my spirit vegetables, not me." ”

"Next time, next time, I'll definitely double the spirit vegetables. He kowtowed vigorously as he spoke.

Shi Pojun was stunned, but after reacting, he knew that the girl must have recognized the wrong person, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help the girl up and said: "You recognize the wrong person, you recognize the wrong person, I'm not an adult, I am, I'm a lost person." ”

"Great, sir, really, really not here to collect taxes. The girl asked timidly.

"Tax?" Shi Pojun shook his head, "No, no, I'm just a lost person." ”

At this time, Shi Pojun also saw the appearance of the girl, the girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, her face was pale, her body was without four taels of flesh, thin and small, her skin was covered with bones, and even the green tendons on her arms could be seen clearly.

"This is what the master said about malnutrition. Shi Pojun said secretly, and at the same time carefully supported the girl.

Seeing that the girl's mood stabilized, Shi Pojun asked, "Why are you crying here, what about your family? Is something wrong, is there anything I can do to help?"

Hearing this, the girl's eyes turned red again, and after that, she talked about what happened to her in a fitted manner.

Through understanding, Shi Pojun learned that the girl was from the village below, but like him, her parents were no longer there, and she was the only one in the family.

Hearing this, Shi Pojun couldn't help but feel sympathy, and he decided to help the girl no matter what.

But it wasn't until he listened to the girl's story that he felt embarrassed.

It turned out that the reason why the fresh air he smelled in the vegetable field was different from the outside was because the array mage here had arranged the Spirit Gathering Array.

The array mage arranged the Spirit Gathering Array in order to let people grow spirit vegetables, these spirit vegetables can assist people in cultivation, and every three months, when the spirit vegetables are ripe, someone is responsible for coming to collect them.

The girl had no father or mother, she was ostracized, and the vegetable plot that should have been allocated was taken away by the village chief, but the girl seemed to be born different, she was able to grow spiritual vegetables outside the formation.

In this way, she survived by planting spiritual vegetables, and when she usually had a lot, she would give the extra spiritual vegetables to those people in the village, just in exchange for a smile from everyone.

However, this time I was unlucky enough to encounter a pest, and the little demon beast Qingye Worm, which likes to eat spiritual vegetables the most, ate her spiritual vegetables to a pulp.

What's even more urgent is that two days later, a tax collector will come to collect the spirit vegetables.

Listening to the girl's meaning, if you can't complete the task of planting spiritual vegetables, you will be demoted to a slave at the least, and you will be killed on the spot.

Shi Pojun was embarrassed by the fact that although he wanted to help the girl, he didn't know how to grow spiritual vegetables, and even if he did, it would be too late in time.

Shi Pojun comforted the girl while thinking of a way, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "There is." ”

The girl's red and swollen eyes looked over and asked, "What's the solution?" ”

"Didn't you say that there are many spiritual vegetables to give to everyone on weekdays? In this way, you go to the villagers in the village, and don't want them to return it, let them borrow a little from you first, and wait until this time, and then return it to them next time." "Stone breaks the military road.

"yes, I'll borrow some first. The girl's spirits lifted, she didn't even think of this method, it was so stupid.

"Thank you. The girl said, "By the way, my name is Xiaocao, what's your name, why did you get lost?"

"My name is Shi Pojun, uh, I came out to have something, I am not familiar with this place, and I get lost while walking. Shi Pojun scratched his head, he could only prevaricate casually, he couldn't say that he was thrown into the spatial crack by the master, and he threw it here.

"Brother Pojun, thank you for reminding me, Xiaocao is going down the mountain to the village to find someone to borrow spiritual vegetables, can you rest here, or?" said the girl, pointing to her small house not far away.

Shi Pojun took advantage of the situation to look over, it was a wooden hut built on the hillside, the height of the house was probably shorter than his height, the wood was also very rough planed, and the appearance looked very irregular.

However, the outside of the wooden house is decorated with flowers and plants, which looks very girly.

"I also want to go to your village to have a look, by the way, do you live here alone? Why don't you live in the village?" Shi Pojun said casually.

At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart, the master still wants me to find the test by myself, how can I find it if I stay in the mountains, or go down to try my luck.

"Well, I live here alone, and the house in the village has been taken back by the village chief. The girl lowered her head and was dying, but soon she laughed and said, "But it's good to live in the mountains, and you can take care of spiritual vegetables and grow flowers and plants." ”

"What kind of village chief are you, why do you always bully you, doesn't he know that it is dangerous for you to live in the mountains as a girl?" Hearing the girl say this, Shi Pojun was stunned and frowned.

"The village chief said that I was so small by myself, just build a house on the mountain and live in it, Brother Pojun didn't say that about the village chief, he also asked people to help me cut wood. "Besides, I planted pitcher plants and ghostfaces near the house, and the beasts did not dare to approach them." ”

In this way, the two talked all the way to the small village at the foot of the mountain.

After entering the village, Shi Pojun's brows furrowed again, the village was deserted, and no one opened a shop to do business, and there were even fewer pedestrians on the road.

Occasionally, when a few people saw him and the girl, they also took a look at him and turned around and walked away.

Shi Pojun looked around for a while, and saw that the girl stopped in place, pulling the corners of her clothes with a nervous look, and said, "Xiaocao, didn't you say that you were going to go to the villagers to borrow spiritual vegetables? Why don't you leave?"

"I, I don't know who to borrow?" the girl hesitated.

"Let's borrow it from the people you gave the spirit vegetables first. "Stone breaks the military road.

The girl nodded, and finally walked towards a house.

Shi Pojun Company followed, and the two came to the outside of a brick and stone house, Shi Pojun hesitated when he saw the girl at the door, thinking that the consequences of the girl not completing the planting task were so serious.

At that moment, he knocked on the door for the girl in a hurry.

Soon, footsteps sounded, followed by a creak, and the door opened a crack.

"It's Xiaocao, what's the matter?Oh, I'm going to hand over the spirit vegetables the day after tomorrow, do you have how many spirit vegetables you want to give to your aunt?"
