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

Chapter 53

Jiang Xiaomi didn't have any tasks for the time being, so naturally she followed Jiang Suying to collect herbs, and Jiang Xiubin followed them happily.

Although Jiang Xiumian was left at home to recuperate, he needed to organize the space. He needed to have a plan on which things should be placed outside and which things should be placed inside the space, and he had to do it in secret, which was quite difficult for him.

Jiang Yipei really wanted to lie down for a while longer, but the hard decoration of the house had not yet begun, so he could only grit his teeth and get up.

"It'll only be about ten days anyway!" This was the only way he could comfort himself.

While there is still time, we need to build the kang.

Although he had guessed about the snowstorm, given the direction of this natural disaster, how could he miss such a good opportunity!

Once the kang is built, even if it is flooded by heavy rain, it can be put into use quickly after some repairs. If you wait until the weather gets cold to build it, not only will the flowers get cold, but people will also freeze to death.

Jiang Yipei was a professional at making kangs. He drew the blueprints in less than half an hour, and then made a few more copies and gave them to the bricklayers from the clan whom Uncle Zhang called back from the fields.

After giving some instructions, he began to patrol everywhere in Lao Jiang's house, trying to eliminate all hidden dangers and survive the flood and snowstorm.

Jiang Lizheng, Jiang Yiyu and Jiang Yitao were also busy dealing with the matters assigned by Jiang Yipei.

The rush to harvest in Jiangjia Village went very smoothly. Before it got completely dark, the rice had been completely harvested. With the unity and cooperation of the whole village, the rice was transported to the ancestral hall and Jiangjia respectively, and the statistics had been completed by Jianglizheng. Most of the rice was left behind, and a small part was transported back home by each household.

After dinner, another clan meeting was held to decide on the members of the patrol team, a total of one hundred young and middle-aged men.

Divide into two teams.

One team, led by Jiang Yiyu, will set out for the provincial capital tomorrow to buy food and supplies.

A team led by Jiang Yitao will set out to the mountains tomorrow to hunt and chop firewood - don't underestimate this small piece of firewood.

It was late at night and in the dead of night, there was someone in every household in Jiangjia Village who couldn't sleep, calculating their family savings and planning what to buy.

Jiang Yida's family is the most supportive of Jiang Yipei's work, no doubt about it.

Liu moved the wardrobe away, pulled out a brick from the wall behind her, and took out a money box, which contained all the cash in their family, more than two hundred taels of silver.

She put six small silver ingots, six large silver ingots, and a hundred dollars in a purse - half of the family savings, and gave them to Jiang Yida.

"Dad, we have enough food at home. Just add some flour and beans. Buy a few more pieces of cloth and some needles and thread. You can decide on the rest. If you really don't know what to buy, just buy whatever Xiaoyou buys."

"I know!" Jiang Yida replied after putting away the silver.

He is a member of the patrol team. He will leave for the provincial capital tomorrow. It will probably take several days for him to come back, so he must stay alert. He chatted with his wife for a while and then fell asleep.

However, Liu couldn't sleep. Anyone would suffer from insomnia for a few days if they knew that the world would be difficult in the future.

But listening to the snoring coming from the side——

Except her man.

she thinks.

There's someone in the next room who can't sleep.

"System, system!" Jiang Xiubai called eagerly in his heart.

He was not tired today, but there were really too many trivial things to do. He only had free time now, so he immediately started contacting the system.

"..."

"System system?"

"..."

He shouted for three full minutes, and when Jiang Xiubai even began to doubt whether the system had disappeared, he finally spoke.

【what?!】

The voice was smelly and contained a very palpable impatience.

Jiang Xiubai: “???”

"Hey! I have a bad temper!" Jiang Xiubai jumped up from the bed and pointed at the screen in front of him: "If you don't want to follow me, just leave! Who are you giving a cold shoulder to!"

The system’s world-weary face: If I could leave, why would I bother with you!

"Not talking? That means you can't leave! You can't even run away, what are you doing here? I tell you, in my place, if you're a tiger you lie down, if you're a dragon you coil up, why are you throwing tantrums every day!"

"......"

"You're not talking again!" Jiang Xiubai took a deep breath. "I've read so many novels, but I've never seen a system and host like you and me. Isn't it good for us to cooperate and win together? What good will it do you to be in a stalemate like this? You can't run away, but I tell you, I have a long life! I still have several decades to live. If you want to outlast me and get away from me, just wait."

After much persuasion, threats and inducements, Jiang Xiubai used all the tricks he could and finally learned from the angry system the reason why it was angry - because the harvester had failed to be recovered, the points it had accumulated from completing tasks for hundreds of years were cleared by the main system, and it was now a penniless system!

"Oh! I thought it was something else! It's easy to earn points! Follow me, and you will definitely be the leader of your world!"

[… Check your points before you brag to me! ]

The system was speechless. After all, the system's points were linked to the host.

It was also unlucky, being set as a biological collection system by the main system.

It has followed more than a dozen hosts for hundreds of years, including interstellar, ancient, modern, and ancient hosts. It can collect all the living things - animals and plants. I can't say that I have collected 100%, but at least 99.9% of them. It is about to replace its chips and transform into a management level.

The previous host died with a sudden bang.

It had just separated from its previous host and was randomly assigned here by the main system. It had caused such a big trouble right after it arrived, and it was "popped" back to the low-level system by the main system, with all its points cleared. Who wouldn't be angry!

It's about to explode!

But no matter how angry it was, life had to go on, so it acted out its temper and pretended to be coaxed by the host - after all, it was the leader who was determined to enter the management level!

"That's right, we can win together. I'm just starting out now, and I'll have points sooner or later! How can you be poor when I'm rich?" Jiang Xiu changed his tone and said, "But, you have to introduce this trading mall to me, right? Also, why is the trading forum gone?

To be honest, the transaction between me and the gentleman from 3085 was reasonable and legal. How could you terminate our transaction for no reason? We agreed to exchange more than paintings for five harvesters, but now we have only exchanged one. Why didn’t the system return the remaining paintings to me? This is unreasonable!"

[The twenty-one paintings that failed in the transaction have been returned to the system. The host can check them in the system space. ]

"In the system space?" Jiang Xiubai clicked on the system screen and found that the calligraphy and painting were really there. He put his hands in his pockets and said, "Why wasn't it there when I looked just now?"

Of course, the system couldn't say that it was too angry and temporarily blocked Jiang Xiubai's system mall.

[The trading forum is not open to people at your level.]

It changed the subject, and Jiang Xiubai was thoughtful: "Because... the system is wrong?"

He got stuck with a bug?

[Yes.] I didn't say much about the other systems. After all, it was not glorious to tell others that the main system had been attacked, causing system errors and loopholes.

[The host has completed the first transaction in the system mall on his own, which means he has successfully bound himself to the system. From now on, this system will serve you. ]

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xiubin was confused. Could it be that he had not actually bound the system before? What about the harvester transaction?

[The system is randomly launched, but there is also a threshold. To become a formal user of the mall, you need to independently explore and complete a transaction. If the transaction is not completed within three days, the system mall will disappear. ]

You don’t even have the intelligence to open a shopping mall, you don’t deserve to have a cheat code!

Jiang Xiubai: “!!!”

He really doesn't know.

I stumbled upon this by accident and found a dead chicken?

“What’s the difference in treatment when becoming a formal user?”

[The system mall is divided into the official mall and the free market. Become a formal user of the mall and you can sell things to the mall. The mall accepts both new and old items. Earn points to buy items on the mall shelves, or open a store to sell items. ]

Jiang Xiubai suddenly became excited: "I can sell anything!"

[Theoretically, yes. 】

Jiang Xiubai casually put the thin quilt he was covering himself with into the mall’s recycling point.

The points column in the upper right corner of the screen suddenly changed from [0] to [59].

"Wow, 59!" Jiang Xiubai asked the system: "How are the points calculated? One point is one dollar?"

【According to the currency of this era, it is fifty-nine coins. 】

"Then I'm going to lose money! Fifty-nine coins won't buy you a cotton quilt. Cotton was very expensive in ancient times."

[There will be a discount for recycling in the mall. 】

"Such a huge discount! What a dishonest businessman! I won't sell it then! Eh? Is it okay to not sell it?"

[Once the transaction is successful, it cannot be revoked and the final right of interpretation belongs to the system mall. ]

Jiang Xiubai: “…”

You are really awesome.

"How much is the cotton quilt in the mall?" I can't cancel it, can't I just buy it again?

[I have searched for cotton quilts for the host. Sorry, you can't even afford one. 】

Of course I can’t afford it. The cheapest quilt costs 199.
