Chapter 10: Li Xinyue Replaces Zhaodi

~8 min read 1,566 words

No one answered her question. In the dark mountains, only the sound of rustling leaves and wolf howls echoed.

By the moonlight, "Li Zhaodi" tried to stand up slowly, but the pain from her whole body was really hard to endure.

After failing several times, "Li Zhaodi" seemed to accept her fate and remained motionless. After a long time, an unbelievable exclamation came from her mouth.

"So... I... I transmigrated?"

Just when "Li Zhaodi" was still immersed in the fact of transmigration, a mechanical sound exploded in her mind.

【Superior Nanmu detected, worth 50 points, recycle?】

Not knowing when her right hand rested on a tree trunk as thick as an arm, "Li Zhaodi" subconsciously chose to recycle.

The tree trunk disappeared into thin air, and there were 50 more points on the blue screen that only she could see.

After some groping, she soon understood the usage function.

The system would give a recycling price for valuable things, recycling would get points, and points could be exchanged for supplies in the mall.

Everything except thermal weapons could be bought in the mall, which made "Li Zhaodi," who wanted to buy a pistol for self-defense, sigh with regret.

"Li Zhaodi, go in peace! I, Li Xinyue, will help you take revenge."

Li Xinyue knew everything about the original owner. While sympathizing with the other party, she also hated the so-called big uncle's family.

The name Li Zhaodi wasn't taken by her big uncle's family, but by the original owner's parents.

It could be said that she lived in deep water and hot fire since she was born.

After buying a bottle of oral glucose solution from the mall and drinking it, Li Xinyue had the strength to support herself after resting for a while, and then bought a lighter to ignite the branches around.

Feeling the temperature brought by the fire, only then did Li Xinyue have some sense of security.

Looking at the scars on her skinny arms, Li Xinyue's face was particularly gloomy. She wasn't a good person.

The most important thing now was to survive first. Although she didn't worry about food and drink because of the mall, many things couldn't be brought to the light, so she had to think carefully about her future path.

In Li Zhaodi's memory, most of it revolved around Da Jiang Cun. She had never been to the city and had never studied, knowing nothing about the outside world. Li Xinyue couldn't get more useful information either.

Buying a self-heating hot pot from the mall, Li Xinyue looked at the fire, and gradually had some ideas in her heart.

Just as dawn broke, an exclamation woke up the sleeping Jiang Jinshi.

"Brother! Brother! Hurry up and come! Mother's leg is better!"

Hearing Jiang Li's call, Jiang Jinshi got up from the bed unhurriedly, a hint of a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, the system's products are trustworthy!

The anxious Jiang Li rushed into the door, pulled Jiang Jinshi toward the next room, and muttered.

"I've been calling you for a long time, hurry up and come see!"

Seeing her mother standing on the ground and walking carefully, Jiang Jinshi was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"Mother, don't get out of bed just because you're a little better. Rest for a while before talking."

Mother Liu, who was so happy she couldn't close her mouth, nodded repeatedly: "Little Ten, I listen to you! That medicine of yours is really magical. I woke up this morning and found that my feet actually had strength."

Jiang Jinshi proudly raised his eyebrows at Jiang Li: "That's of course, this is a magical medicine given to me by an old divine doctor."

Saying this was also to prevent the two from asking questions. People in this era have relatively old-fashioned thoughts. Pushing everything unreasonable to ghosts and gods won't make anyone doubt you.

Naturally, the two didn't doubt this. It was said that it took a hundred days to hurt muscles and bones, plus leaving it alone for a long time, the medicine that could make people get out of bed in just one night was indeed only a magical medicine that could do it.

After eating breakfast casually, Jiang Jinshi carried a water bucket to line up at the river to fetch water.

This naturally attracted the attention of the villagers of Da Jiang Cun, and many people teased: "Yo! Does the scholar master also need to fetch water by himself?"

Jiang Jinshi responded with a smile: "Alas, even if you are a scholar, you have to die if you don't drink water!"

If it were the original owner, he would turn around and leave, but Jiang Jinshi, who had transmigrated, joked with everyone with a smile, clearly not taking this to heart.

Everyone also noticed that Jiang Jinshi had changed, only thinking that the other party had grown up and his thinking had become mature.

Jiang Cai in the queue saw this scene and thought of Jiang Jinshi's action of preparing to pick up firewood yesterday. He only hoped that the other party had really grown up and not to cheat money to gamble.

Wang Gui stood in the shade and looked at Jiang Jinshi with some hidden meaning. She was still thinking about the twenty catties of grain, but she didn't know why Jiang Jinshi didn't look at her today.

She also knew that her reputation in the village wasn't good, but as long as she wasn't caught in bed, the villagers didn't dare to chew her tongue in front of her.

Jiang Jinshi stood in the queue and lengthened his ears. One by one, true or false gossip came from all sides, sounding very exciting.

Who fought with whom because of a piece of land in a corner, and after reporting to the officials, it was verified that the land didn't belong to either family.

The sister-in-law of a certain village cheated on her brother-in-law, and the sister actually clapped her hands and cheered.

Jiang Jinshi only hated that he forgot to buy melon seeds when he entered the city yesterday, which made his mouth itch now, always wanting to crack something.

"Eh! Li Changjiu's wife said this morning that Li Zhaodi can be married for one tael of silver."

"Laugh to death! Didn't he say that she wouldn't marry without five taels of silver?"

"If you ask me, that girl is also pitiful to have such a family."

"You pity her, why don't you marry her to your family's Er Niu for one tael of silver?"

Hearing this, Er Niu's mother waved her hand repeatedly: "My family won't marry her! Who can stand such in-laws?! Besides, Zhaodi is good, but she is an old girl, one tael of silver is not worth it."

Once these words came out, everyone laughed, clearly knowing the roots of Li Changjiu's family.

Jiang Jinshi found a girl in his memory who was ragged even in winter and skinny. It seemed that every time he met her, she was either washing clothes, cutting firewood, or picking wild vegetables.

When Jiang Jinshi was carrying water and preparing to go back, he happened to meet his big uncle and second uncle who came to fetch water.

The two exchanged a look and subconsciously bypassed Jiang Jinshi, pretending not to see him.

Clearly, they knew the situation of Jiang Jinshi's family and were afraid that the other party would stick to them to borrow grain.

Jiang Jinshi was also happy to be quiet, carrying water and rushing home.

Jiang Jinshi, who had tidied up and was preparing to go out to keep the appointment, exhorted Jiang Li: "Little Pear, don't forget to cook for Mother at noon."

Jiang Li looked blank: "Didn't we just eat?"

Ordinary families only have two meals a day, which was why Jiang Li didn't understand.

"Eat three meals a day from now on, Mom needs nutrition."

"Oh right! You are also eating three meals a day."

After saying this, Jiang Jinshi went out, not giving Jiang Li a chance to ask questions.

Jiang Li pouted and was somewhat unhappy. Three meals a day, and pure millet, whose grain could withstand such waste?

But thinking that Jiang Jinshi must be going to gamble when he went out, Jiang Li made up her mind to eat more at noon, just in case she couldn't eat at night.

Seeing the magical effect of the medicine pill in the morning, Jiang Jinshi was more confident in recruiting Luo Feng.

If the two siblings both joined his Sunshine Village, then only three people were left to complete the task.

But what worried Jiang Jinshi was another point. With more people joining, there would always be mouths to feed. One mouth could eat him poor.

The silver in the task reward was clearly just a side dish, and when the number of people wasn't large, he couldn't go and rob those caravans.

And there was no clue about how to get points, which meant that the recruitment function couldn't be used for the time being.

Unable to think it through, he could only temporarily throw these problems out of his mind. When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road. He accelerated his small run and ran toward the intersection yesterday.
