After making lunch, Bai Jiyue saw that there was not much food left at home, so he planned to go to the market in the neighboring village to buy some.

Bai Jiyun insisted on going with her, and Mingyuan also followed behind them with his short legs.

Bai Jiyue turned around and looked at him: "Why don't you just stay at home with your aunt?"

She treated Mingyuan as her younger brother, so she thought that Mingyuan should call her mother "Auntie".

Ming Yuan snorted: "Hmph!"

Bai Jiyue surrendered immediately: "Forget it, forget it, I'll take you out to play."

Carrying Mingyuan and her sister, and taking all the money in the family, they set out for the market in the neighboring village.

Today happens to be a big fair, with all kinds of things for sale, and it's very lively with people coming and going.

I bought some brown rice, the cheapest sweet potatoes, and some green vegetables of some kind at the market, and my money was almost gone.

Bai Jiyue was about to take her sister away when she suddenly saw her sister staring at the stall selling hairbands and unable to move.

After all, she is a little girl, who doesn’t like to be pretty?

Bai Jiyue touched the last copper coin on his waist and asked the boss, "How much is that hairband with tassels?"

"Two for one copper."

Bai Jiyue slapped the copper coin on the table: "I want two."

Bai Jiyun came back to his senses and waved his hands quickly: "Sister, I don't want it. Save this copper coin to buy Mom something delicious!"

Bai Jiyue stroked her head and said, "It's okay. You can earn money again if you lose it."

Increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, the key is to increase revenue.

Since she has come to this family, she must manage this family well.

She stuffed the two hairbands into Bai Jiyun's arms. Bai Jiyun was a child after all. She happily touched the tassel hairbands and imagined what kind of braids she would wear when she got home.

The three of them walked out, and when they reached the entrance of the market, they suddenly heard someone shouting, "Collect the dark centipedes!"

Bai Jiyue's heart moved, and he walked over and asked, "How did you collect it?"

"The big ones are twenty coppers each, the medium ones are ten coppers each, and the small ones are five coppers each."

Dark centipedes can be used as medicine, so these people must be from a medicine shop.

Bai Jiyue looked up and saw that it was still early, so he stuffed Mingyuan into Bai Jiyun's arms and said, "Take Ayuan home first."

"Sister, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the gravel beach to catch dark centipedes. Do you remember that time when we found a tree pit on the gravel beach, there were quite a few dark centipedes in it. I'm going to catch some to exchange for money!"

Bai Jiyun was shocked: "Sister, those dark centipedes are very powerful. If a person is bitten, the mildest would be swelling, and the worst would be death!"

Bai Jiyue patted her hand and comforted her: "I will be careful."

Bai Jiyun thought about it and bit his lip hard: "I'll go with my sister, so I can take care of her."

Bai Jiyue thought about it and decided it was a good idea. Her sister could also practice if she went there, so she took Mingyuan from her arms and walked towards the gravel beach together.

Fortunately, the gravel beach was not too far away, and the two arrived there in a short while.

According to the location in their memory, they found the big pit.

Bai Jiyue felt his scalp tingling after pushing aside the weeds around the pit and seeing what was inside.

The pit was densely packed with centipedes, it seemed that this place was one of their nests.

This dark centipede is a unique species in the Dark Stone Wasteland. Not only is it larger than ordinary centipedes, but its color is black with a hint of red, which looks particularly creepy.

When the original owner saw this pit, he was so scared that he pulled his sister and ran away.

Although she was a little scared now, she had to grab these things and exchange them for money!

She thought about it for a moment, then instructed Bai Jiyun to break off some branches and sharpen the front of the branches on the stone so that they could be used to pierce centipedes.

"But there are too many pits here, we can't do it!" Bai Jiyun said with a frown.

Bai Jiyue thought for a moment and said, "Lure them out!"

She bit her finger and let the blood drip onto the edge of the pit, which then slowly dripped outward, forming a line of blood.

This dark centipede is a bloodthirsty animal, and sure enough, one of them immediately crawled out along the blood line.

Bai Jiyue immediately stabbed the branch down hard.

With a "puff", a stream of black liquid shot out from the dark centipede's body.

She dodged it swiftly, and the liquid fell to the ground, withering the weeds nearby visibly.

Bai Jiyue couldn't help but be amazed, the body fluid of this dark centipede is comparable to concentrated sulfuric acid!

After thinking for a while, she tore off the hem of her skirt and covered her hands and face, then told Bai Jiyun: "Hold A Yuan and walk away."

Bai Jiyun obediently walked away, and Bai Jiyue walked to the edge of the pit again to drip blood.

After a while, two dark centipedes were attracted out, and Bai Jiyue quickly strung them on the branches like candied haws.

Fortunately, these centipedes died quickly after piercing their bodies, and did not pose any danger to her.

In this way, there were about ten branches tied together. I counted them and found that there were two big ones, five medium ones and ten small ones.

Bai Jiyue felt that it was about time, so he wrapped the centipedes with the cloth that had covered his hands before, and prepared to leave while holding up the branch.

I had just taken a few steps when I suddenly heard a rustling sound.

Bai Jiyue turned around subconsciously and covered his chest in shock.

I saw a dark centipede quickly crawling out of the pit!

The dark centipedes they had caught before were no bigger than Bai Jiyue's forearm, but this dark centipede was nearly one meter long.

Not only that, its color is bright red!

It crawled very fast, and at the moment when Bai Jiyue was distracted, it crawled very close to her.

Bai Jiyue came back to his senses and quickly retreated while shouting to Bai Jiyun: "It's the Dark Centipede King, take A Yuan and run!"

Bai Jiyun shouted anxiously: "Sister, what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry about me, I have my own way." Bai Jiyue shouted and ran in the opposite direction of his sister and Mingyuan.

Although Bai Jiyun was worried about his sister, he still knew the seriousness of the matter. He stomped his feet heavily, hugged Mingyuan and ran out to the gravel beach.

She was only nine years old and very small, so she held Ming Yuan like a chicken.

Ming Yuan rolled his eyes: Do you know how to hold a child? You should hold him under the legs, not by the neck!

After they ran for a while, Bai Jiyun finally couldn't run anymore, so he stopped and put him on the ground.

Mingyuan took several breaths before he evened out his breathing, then turned around and looked into the gravel beach.

Bai Jiyue was seen running at full speed beside the dry riverbed on the gravel beach, with the Dark Centipede King chasing closely after him.

Ming Yuan narrowed his eyes, bent down, picked up a stone and held it on his fingertips.

When necessary, we still have to help that girl.

Bai Jiyue was seen running to a big rock, stepping on the rock with his feet alternately, flipping backwards, and then doing an elegant side flip, jumping above the Centipede King who was chasing him.

As she was falling, she swiftly stretched out two sharp branches from her hands and pierced the Centipede King's body one after the other.

Then she used the branch to gain some leverage and flipped over again, landing nimbly next to the Centipede King.

The centipede king's head was nailed to the ground and he couldn't break free no matter how he twisted his body. He could only spray a bunch of venom forward and make a "squeaking" sound.
