Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 232

Jiang Xiubai directly chopped off the large piece, and then without even a second's notice, he threw it to the system: "Does this musk have any bonus points?"

"Yes, musk research is of great value."

Jiang Xiubai felt relieved after hearing what the system said. He asked, "Do you have an idea of ​​how many points the three items collected today will get?"

"The system doesn't know exactly how many there are, but it should be quite a lot. Host, please wait patiently."

"How long will it take?"

"It could be two weeks, it could be a month or two."

Jiang Xiubai: "......"

You have really figured out the meaning of nonsense literature. What's the difference between saying this and not saying it?

system:"......"

It's really hard to please. It doesn't say that you have any opinions, but even if it does, you will feel that it is meaningless.

Otherwise, this system is for you.

You will know how annoying it is to go to work, especially when you have a second-rate boss like you.

"Have you taken care of it?" Jiang Xiaomi turned around: "This body... the system doesn't want it?"

"It's not that I don't want it, it's just that it's not worth much. I just wanted to take it back to improve the food. Eating bacon and cured meat really makes me want to throw up."

"It's been dead for a long time, can it still be eaten?"

"It had just died when we arrived, and it had frozen to death. It's fine, and we can eat it."

"That's okay!"

Jiang Xiaomi took the male musk deer's body back into the space and followed Jiang Xiubai home, but as soon as they got down the mountain, they met the people sent by Old Lady Yang to find them.

"Miss, you are finally back! Did you go into the mountains? How dangerous! Are you injured? Quick, go tell the old lady and Mrs. Liu that Miss and Master Bai are back!"

"Hey hey hey——" Jiang Xiaomi stretched out her hand and watched the two servants run away. She looked at Jiang Xiubai helplessly and saw three words in each other's eyes - it's over.

She also knew that it was not right for the two of them to go up the mountain without telling their family, but didn't they just want to leave quietly and come back quietly?

Who would have thought that I would run into the family servants as soon as I came down the mountain!

"It's okay, we're back safely! The old lady won't be really angry." Jiang Xiubai said to Jiang Xiaomi, as if he was comforting Jiang Xiaomi, or as if he was convincing himself.

The two of them walked slowly towards Old Jiang's house. As soon as they entered the yard, they were bumped into by Old Lady Yang who came out in a hurry. Old Lady Yang raised her hand high and gently slapped Jiang Xiaomi twice: "Who told you to go up the mountain alone? You are going to make me anxious to death!"

Jiang Xiaomi hurriedly said, "I'm not alone. I went with Brother Xiubai."

"What can he do?" Old Mrs. Yang blurted out angrily, and when she saw Jiang Xiubai next to her, she glanced at him.

Jiang Xiubai: “…”

What does "What can he do?" mean?

What happened to him? He had already defeated the fox, so how could he be useless?

But looking at the angry old lady, he couldn't say a word and could only stand aside obediently.

Old Lady Yang glanced at him again, then turned to Jiang Xiaomi and said earnestly, "Don't go up the mountain alone next time, you hear me? And you, Xiaobai! If she makes trouble, you should stop her, how can you accompany her in making trouble!"

"Okay, got it." Neither of them dared to talk back, and they just followed what Old Lady Yang said. It was meaningless to argue about who would lead whom up the mountain, as they would be criticized in the same way.

“You went up the mountain?!”

At this time, Liu came hurriedly with a tree stick in her hand. This tree stick was not an ordinary tree stick. It looked like the half-dry one. No doubt it was carefully selected for beating children. It could not only break the child but also hurt!

Liu came up and started beating him up. The tree branch swung loudly and hit Jiang Xiubai hard. She was really furious: "Rather than you dying on the mountain, I'd rather beat you to death!"

Jiang Xiubai had never seen his mother so furious. After dodging for a few times, he stood there obediently and let her hit him: "Mom, I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Don't be angry."

For the first time, Liu ignored Jiang Xiubai's apology and beat him even harder. However, as she was beating him, she suddenly squatted down, covered her face and started crying.

Ever since Jiang Xiubai was diagnosed with poor health and needed to be recuperated for several years, she has been unable to sleep all night. She follows him wherever he goes, but she is afraid that she can't take good care of him and that something might happen to him. But he doesn't take his health seriously at all!

That's a mountain!

And far away!

I know I can’t get tired, but I still go!

Whether it was Xiaomi who took him there or he wanted to go there on his own, it was all his fault! He didn't consider his own health at all.

Besides, she had seen how Xiaomi had taken care of him during this period. How could she insist on taking him up the mountain when she knew that he was in poor health!

No need to think, it must be him who did it!

Thinking of this, Liu cried even harder, as if she wanted to cry out all the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart for some time.

Jiang Xiubai's heart sank, and he felt extremely guilty. He squatted beside Liu and kept apologizing, "Mom... I'm sorry... I will never run around again. It has nothing to do with Xiaomi. I insisted on going up the mountain, and Xiaomi followed me because she was worried. I promise, I will never run around again."

It would have been fine if he didn't recognize her, but once he did, Liu started crying like a rat!

Jiang Xiubai and Jiang Xiaomi knew his true physical condition, but no one else in the family knew, especially Liu.

Because Jiang Xiubai's physical recovery was only temporary, he didn't think of telling Liu. After all, there was no point in telling her. It also involved the matter of medicine, which was too troublesome to explain.

So, when it was almost time for dinner and they couldn't find the two people in the whole village, Mrs. Liu and Old Lady Yang were extremely worried. Perhaps they had a premonition, so they sent people to look for them in the mountains.

"Aunt, I'm sorry..."

Jiang Xiaomi also felt a little guilty. After all, it was them who made their family worry.

In the final analysis, the two of them were too confident, especially Jiang Xiaomi. She felt that she could handle the situation in the mountains, so she never thought about telling her family.

Originally they were going to eat musk meat at Old Jiang's house, but Liu cried so sadly that Jiang Xiubai took her home first. Liu was concerned about Jiang Xiubai's health and didn't want him to help her. She walked home one step at a time, and Jiang Xiubai followed behind her silently.

"mother……"

"Don't call me." Liu sat down on the chair and calmed herself down: "In your heart, do you really care about me and your father? Do you regard us as your parents?"

Jiang Xiubai shuddered and looked fiercely towards Liu. He would be lying if he said he wasn't afraid. He moved his lips but didn't know what to say.

"I don't think you have any. If you had considered us, you wouldn't have treated yourself like this." Liu's tears flowed again: "Xiaobai, you are not little anymore. When will you grow up?"

"Mom... I..." Jiang Xiubai bit his lip. He couldn't explain what he felt at the moment. He sounded uneasy, as if he was a murderer sentenced to death. But when he heard Liu speak, it seemed that she didn't know that his soul had replaced their son.

"Xiaobai, I'm not educated, but I'm not stupid. You have a secret in your heart, and since you don't want to tell it, fine! Then your mother and your father won't ask. But I don't understand why you are willing to tell your uncle Pei and others, but not your biological parents? What makes you believe even your biological parents?"

As she spoke, she stared at Jiang Xiubai with her eyes, and her expression of not giving up until she got a satisfactory answer made Jiang Xiubai's throat dry, and he swallowed.

No one knew that beneath his slightly nervous expression, the groundhog in his heart was almost screaming crazy.

what to do? what to do? what to do?

Jiang Xiubai's mind raced, trying to come up with a suitable reason that was both reasonable and would not expose Jiang Xiaomi's secret...

Living under the same roof, although his attempts to hide the truth seemed flawless, how could he really hide it from his family?

But they never asked, and he subconsciously thought that they would not ask, so he had not discussed with Jiang Xiaomi and the others what to do if the news went viral. Without Jiang Xiaomi's consent, he could not rashly expose Jiang Xiaomi's cards!

How should I tell Liu?

So, now... my brain is almost deprived of oxygen.

"You still don't want to say it?" Liu looked disappointed.

"No, mother..." Jiang Xiubai immediately denied: "I just don't know how to tell you, this matter is really too shocking, I'm afraid to scare you."

"In your heart, are your parents so vulnerable?" Liu wiped away her tears and sat up straight: "Tell me, I can bear it."

"Is such that."

Jiang Xiubai cleared his throat.

"Before Uncle Pei returned home, did I tell you about the dream that our ancestors had given us?"

Liu thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case. She nodded and said, "Then what?"

"I really didn't lie at that time. It was really our Jiang family's ancestor who sent me a message in my dream, but none of you believed me. Only Uncle Pei believed me! On the first day we rushed to harvest the rice, did you see me following Uncle Pei home?"

"Yes..." Liu was still digesting this outrageous thing about her ancestor's dream. Was it really true?

"After Uncle Pei and I returned home, wasn't a harvester driven out soon after?"

"Yes..." Liu was puzzled: "What is the connection between the two? Didn't your uncle Pei bring the harvester back from the capital?"

"It's a big deal!" Jiang Xiubai said with emotion: "This harvester was not brought back by Uncle Pei from the capital, but was given to us by our ancestor through me!"

"Burning for us? Do they in the underworld also burn things for the living world?" Liu was completely stunned and had no idea what she said.

"Mother, what are you talking about? Take it, not burn it! Oh, this is not important!" Jiang Xiubai waved his hand and looked at Liu's confused face: "The important thing is that our ancestors came to save us, otherwise, how could we harvest the millet so quickly?"

Tsk, after Jiang Xiubai finished speaking, he felt that he hadn’t said it well!

With that being said, wouldn't the person who saves the entire village become the ancestor of the entire village?

This greatly diminishes the contributions of him and Uncle Pei's family!

No, no, I have to think of a way to make up for it!

Just when Jiang Xiubai was thinking about how to make himself and Jiang Xiaomi's family great, he heard Liu say, "Why don't you explain it to us clearly like you are doing now? If you insist, Dad and Mom will believe it!"

"Really?" Jiang Xiubai was stunned for a moment, then looked at her with a hurt face: "Do you know how many times I have told you, Dad, and the villagers?"

"I talked all day long, and almost ran out of saliva, but no one believed me! Except Uncle Pei! Besides, time is so tight, where is the time to explain so much? Uncle Pei believed in me, so I cooperated with him, because the things our ancestors gave us can only be given to people who believe in me!"

"Then County Magistrate Chen..."

"I don't know either. Maybe it's because after I found the first person who believed in me, the rest is not important anymore!"

Jiang Xiubai showed a very sad expression after he finished speaking, which made Liu feel guilty.

Liu originally wanted to condemn Jiang Xiubai today, but after hearing these words, Liu felt deeply condemned in her heart.

She deserves to die!

I don't believe my own child!

The child had no other choice but to find Uncle Pei who was willing to believe him! She actually blamed him! Blamed him for trusting Uncle Pei more than her!

It was obviously her who didn't trust him from the beginning!

How could she, as a mother, hurt her child like this? !

The guilt in her heart was like a flood, almost drowning Liu.

At this time, Jiang Xiubai finally thought of a reasonable and legal reason: "Mom, you don't know, I haven't told you the most important point, that is - although this harvester was sent by our ancestors, we have to pay for it. We have to pay one thousand taels for the shipping fee. Apart from Uncle Pei, who in our village can easily come up with it!"

YES!

Jiang Xiubai punched in his heart - it came true!

As expected of me!

The brain is smart!

"One thousand taels?"

"Yes, Uncle Pei spent a thousand taels of silver to buy a harvester! If it weren't for him, our ancestors wouldn't be able to bring anything with them! It would be in vain even if they brought anything with them."

"Then why did our ancestors bring such expensive things?"

"Who knows? Maybe we should give it a try. If we can't harvest the millet, they will starve to death. What if someone in the village believes in me and is willing to pay the money?"

Liu: “…”

That's it. If it weren't for Jiang Yipei, their entire village would never have been able to survive in one piece like it is now.

Because even if someone believed that what the ancestor told Xiaobai in his dream was true, even if the entire village could collect one thousand taels, no one would be willing to pay that money.

One thousand taels was too much of an amount. No one was willing to take the risk. They would rather believe that her Xiaobai was talking nonsense.

"It could also be that, through some mysterious fate, the ancestor knew in advance that Uncle Pei would return, and that's why he sent me this message in my dream!"

"That should be it!" Liu agreed, but suddenly she was puzzled: "Then why didn't you just tell Uncle Pei in your dream?"

Jiang Xiubai: “…”

Ah this...

Oh my god, your question is so tricky!

How do you want me to answer?

Wan Jinyou replied: "I don't know! Maybe the ancestors like me more!"
