The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

In this world, the god of luck always favors those who are always prepared.

Xiaoqi's life has quietly changed since he learned about the medicinal herbs that have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

He traveled through the mountains and forests every day, searching for traces of medicinal herbs with his keen eyes.

At first, he was not very skilled in identifying these herbs and often made mistakes, so his high expectations turned out to be in vain.

But he never gave up.

He carefully observed the shape, color and texture of the leaves of each herb, sniffed their unique scents, and felt the texture of their stems with his fingers.

When encountering something uncertain, I would pick a leaf, put it in my mouth and chew it carefully, savoring the bitter or spicy taste, and imprint these characteristics deeply in my mind.

Gradually, Xiaoqi became more and more accurate in identifying herbs, and he was able to pick the herbs he wanted every time.

From time to time, he collected some herbs and brought them back to the ruined temple. Some of them were carefully dried in a ventilated place and stored, while some of them were planted by himself in the small open space behind the ruined temple.

He takes good care of these herbs. Every morning when the first ray of sunshine shines, he comes here to water and fertilize the herbs and remove the weeds around them.

One day, at noon, Xiaogouzi was helped back to the dilapidated temple by Xiaowuzi.

Generally speaking, they go out early and come back late.

So, he returned to the dilapidated temple at noon and was helped back by Xiao Wuzi, which only means that Xiao Gouzi was injured.

Come to think of it, beggars, how can they not be beaten?

However, as long as the beating is not severe enough, you can just endure it. What is more important than having food to survive?

Wronged?

Who doesn’t feel wronged?

How can a beggar have the right to complain about his grievances?

Just to stay alive has already made them try their best.

So, getting injured is a common occurrence.

However, this time the puppy was seriously injured.

Xiao Qi thought for a long time and finally went to find some herbs that could promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. He chewed them up and applied them to the puppy's swollen leg.

Feeling a cool and refreshing sensation, Xiaogouzi looked at Xiaoqi with a complicated expression. Xiaogouzi was one of the people who had beaten Xiaoqi before. Unexpectedly, Xiaoqi would repay evil with kindness.

Xiaogouzi closed his eyes and stopped looking at Xiaoqi.

He thought he would become a cripple. Who knew...

The next day, Xiao Qi changed the herbs for Xiao Gou Zi. After thinking about it, he gave Xiao Gou Zi two wild fruits. Some of them looked like wild pears, but unfortunately they were sour, and the children of ordinary people were unwilling to eat them. Xiao Qi had the opportunity to pick them back.

After all, the puppy is injured, and not having food will only make it feel worse and more difficult to recover.

Xiao Qi also thought about it for a long time before he decided to bring wild pears back for Xiao Gou Zi. He was not afraid that the beggars would not find out that there were fruits to eat and would pick them. What he was afraid of was that everyone would find out that there were wild fruits to eat and would ask him to pick a lot of wild fruits every day.

In that case, he won't be able to do anything and may even be beaten for uneven distribution.

Ever since he ran out of the city and went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to eat, he was rarely beaten.

So, he really doesn't want to be beaten!

However, looking at the pale face of the puppy, he overcame his inner fear and brought back two wild pears for the puppy.

Some people are so stupid. Even though they have fallen into the quagmire and experienced the storm, they still try their best to hold up an umbrella for others!

Fortunately, the results are good.

The little dog did not repay kindness with enmity and allowed him to continue picking fruit in the mountains.

When the other beggars came back, they just glanced at the puppy who was eating fruit and applying herbs, then dispersed and rested.

No one bothered Xiaoqi.

After that, whenever there were injured beggars, Xiao Qi would skillfully chew up the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing herbs, apply them steadily on their wounds, and then gently rub them open using the techniques he learned from the free clinic doctors.

Looking at the relaxed expressions on the beggars' faces as their pain was relieved, Xiao Qi felt a sense of accomplishment.

And Xiaoqi's life in the dilapidated temple gradually got better.

First, after Xiaogouzi got better, he would bring back some of the food he wanted and give it to Xiaoqi, even if Xiaogouzi said with a look of disgust: "It's a pity to throw it away if I can't finish it."

Xiao Qi was still happy. He ate cheerfully, feeling indescribably satisfied.

Can’t finish eating?

What are you talking about!

There is only hunger and not enough to eat.

However, this was Xiaogouzi's intention, even though it was awkward. So Xiaoqi would not refuse. At most, he would pick some more fruits the next day and share them with Xiaogouzi.

With Xiaogouzi's start, gradually more beggars would bring their "extra" food back to Xiaoqi.

Xiao Qi's sleeping place was also moved from the temple entrance to the beggar's head under the Buddha statue altar, where the straw was laid thicker.

All of this inspired Xiaoqi and made him more and more enthusiastic about learning about medicinal herbs.

After that, Xiao Qi plunged into the exploration of herbs for treating colds. Winter was approaching, and colds were an obstacle that beggars in the dilapidated temple could not avoid.

He asked for advice from the aunties, grandmas, and old doctors who occasionally passed by...

In order to find a legendary medicinal herb, he did not hesitate to go deep into the mountains and forests. Even though the road was rugged and thorns scratched his skin, he never retreated.

He didn't want to face separation and death again.

The dilapidated temple now feels more like a home to him. It is no longer just a place to rest. Although the warmth given to him by the beggars in the dilapidated temple is only half a steamed bun, or a small piece of dusty steamed bun...

Xiao Qi happily picked herbs:

Ephedra, with its slender stems and emerald green leaves, has the magical effect of inducing sweating, relieving exterior symptoms, clearing the lungs and relieving asthma. It can be used to treat colds and relieve symptoms such as aversion to cold, fever, cough and asthma.

Cinnamon twigs have a unique aroma. They can induce sweating and relieve muscle pain, warm the meridians, and help yang and transform qi. They have a good therapeutic effect on cough, asthma, cold pain in the abdomen, and other symptoms caused by colds.

Every time Xiaoqi gets to know a new herb, he treats it as a treasure and remembers its characteristics and effects firmly.

Just as Xiaoqi was studying hard, the cold winter came quietly.

The cold wind was howling in the dilapidated temple, but thanks to Xiaoqi who was diligently moving firewood into the temple, the beggars' lives were no longer so difficult.

They burned the firewood that Xiaoqi had worked so hard to save, drank the herbal medicine that Xiaoqi had carefully prepared to keep warm, and applied the herbs that Xiaoqi had collected on their wounds.

This kind of life makes Xiaoqi more and more satisfied.

However, whenever he saw the jumping fire, his eyes would flash with crystal tears. That winter, if there was firewood, the old beggar would not leave him...

A son wants to support his parents, but they are no longer there!

This kind of regret follows me like a shadow, but there is no solution.

Xiao Qi can only try his best to live and grow up, because he was saved by the old beggar at the risk of his life. Therefore, he must live very seriously!

The days passed one by one until the workshops in the Imperial Master's Hall began to recruit workers.

Xiao Qi signed up for the planting team without hesitation, and followed the immortal masters of the National Master Hall to grow high-yield crops for the people living near the capital.

Relying on the rich experience accumulated from collecting and planting wild vegetables and herbs, he quickly mastered the planting techniques and got started very quickly, so he naturally earned more points during the work.

Later, Xiao Qi took the initiative to follow the immortal masters to plant various medicinal herbs. He was like a dry sponge, absorbing knowledge crazily. When he encountered something he didn't understand, even if the immortal masters were very tired, he would summon up the courage to ask humbly.

In this process, his understanding of medicinal properties improved by leaps and bounds. He also learned more and more characters and his handwriting became better and better.

Finally, Xiao Qi, relying on his own efforts and accumulation, was admitted to the Lingzhifu training class as an exception as he wished. He was the youngest student in the class.

In this dream place, Xiao Qi felt like a fish in water. There was more profound knowledge and exquisite skills about spiritual plants to be taught here, and he studied eagerly, not missing any details. Every time he practiced, he was fully focused and extra careful. With the experience he had accumulated before, he was always able to complete the task excellently, which impressed other students and instructors.

Once, the training class received the arduous task of planting a batch of rare spiritual plants. These spiritual plants are extremely delicate and have strict requirements on the growing environment. They will wither and die if not handled with care.

Xiaoqi volunteered to take charge of the plants that were most difficult to care for.

From then on, he stayed by the spiritual plants day and night, keeping a close eye on their growth.

He adjusted the light precisely according to different needs, either using sunshades to block excessive light or moving the spiritual plants to sunny places; he carefully controlled the water content, watering the plants a little bit every day with a small ladle to ensure that the soil was moist but not too wet; he meticulously mixed nutrients, mixing fertilizers in proportion and applying them with caution.

Through his careful care day after day, these rare spiritual plants not only survived tenaciously, but also grew exceptionally vigorously, with emerald green leaves and gorgeous flowers.

This matter reached the ears of the top leaders of the National Master Hall. Xiao Qi was rewarded and given a more important planting task.

He knew very well that this was his opportunity, so he devoted himself even more to studying the way of spiritual plants, hoping to go further and further on this path, not to disappoint the old beggar's life-saving grace, and to create a better life for himself.

Time flies, and the construction of the North City New District has finally been completed. This area, carefully designed and built by Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng, and built in full accordance with the developer's plan of Blue Star, is full of hope and vitality.

There are not only comfortable residences here, but also well-equipped supermarkets to facilitate the daily needs of residents; the gardens are full of flowers and green grass, providing people with a good place for a leisurely stroll; in the leisure square in the center of the street, the lake is crystal clear, pavilions and towers are scattered around, and there are also various pocket gardens interspersed among them, making the whole area look vibrant.

Xiao Qi strolled on this new land, his heart full of emotion. Such a living environment might be difficult to compare even with the palace of the previous emperor!

The communities and buildings are surrounded by various green belts, as if you are in a green ocean.

Although the one-bedroom and one-living room apartment that Xiaoqi exchanged with points is not large, it has a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom, so it is completely suitable for living.

Various furniture - wardrobes, dining tables, beds and other living facilities are all available, truly achieving the goal of "small but complete".

Xiaoqi is very satisfied with his new home. He believes that in this beautiful environment, he will be able to live a happy life.

Not only Xiaoqi, but also many beggars with nimble hands and quick minds earned enough points through their own efforts and exchanged them for a one-bedroom apartment like Xiaoqi.

They no longer need to beg for a living, and they will no longer freeze to death in the winter. They are now registered residents of the capital, and no one can drive them away or kill them at will.

There are some weak little beggars, old or sick beggars in the dilapidated temple. Naturally, their points are far less than Xiaoqi and his friends.

Fortunately, the Imperial Academy did not give up on these vulnerable groups.

On the contrary, the Imperial Palace carefully arranged suitable places for them, including a nursing home and an orphanage, both of which were established and operated by the City Lord's Mansion.

Nursing homes mainly take in elderly people who are old and helpless, providing them with a place to enjoy their old age.

The Salesian Home is responsible for taking care of orphans who have lost their parents or other relatives, and providing them with care and shelter.

In order to maintain the normal operation of the nursing home and the orphanage, all the necessary expenses are borne by the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion will reasonably allocate funds based on the tax revenue of the year to ensure that these institutions can provide the most basic survival supplies, such as food, clothing, shelter, etc.

It is worth mentioning that the elderly and children in nursing homes and orphanages are not idle. They also have their own things to do and earn points through labor to improve their living conditions.

For the elderly, they can take on some tasks of weaving bamboo baskets, rattan baskets and other handicrafts.

These handicrafts can not only exercise the elderly's hands-on ability and prevent their brain degeneration and dementia, but also allow them to feel fun and gain a sense of accomplishment in the production process.

After completing the task, the elderly can also exchange these handicrafts for a certain amount of points, and then use the points to exchange for some daily necessities.

As for the children in the Salesian Home, they can earn points by studying hard. The better their academic performance, the more points they will get.

This method can not only motivate children to be proactive, but also make them understand the importance of knowledge.

When children achieve good grades, they receive corresponding points which can be redeemed for school supplies, books or other useful items.

You can even exchange it for some delicious cakes.

Although, such opportunities are not many.

It can be said that all the contents of Su Xiaoya’s public speech that day were realized one by one.

Just based on all this, there is no ordinary person under the direct jurisdiction of the National Master's Palace who is not grateful.

It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone is united.

Su Xiaoya's plan has been initially realized.

The Palace of the National Master has become the faith of the common people of the Nine Cities—the kind that they would follow until death!

Of course, Su Xiaoya’s ultimate goal is for everyone to become immortals.

Therefore, returning home is just the foundation, and there are more "wonderful plans" waiting for you.

However, you can’t become fat by eating just one bite!

Su Xiaoya planned and pushed forward silently.

From beginning to end, Yu Shuheng just stood quietly behind Su Xiaoya, silently supporting every decision she made.

As long as you look back, I'll be here!

He knew that Su Xiaoya had too much burden on her shoulders, but he believed that she could handle it all.

Who made him just a tree monster even though he traveled through time 100,000 years in advance?

For example, Walter White was even more miserable. He also traveled through time for 100,000 years, but was sealed for 100,000 years. It was really - really miserable!

Sure enough, happiness comes from comparison.

The three of them, the time travelers, will face difficulties and solve problems together and will definitely find their way back.

Yu Shuheng's heart, which was originally shaken by the illusion of Jianmu, in which he saw everything from Wu Xian's perspective, was miraculously healed after meeting Lao Bai.
