You are my golden finger

Lin Xijin took her brother and sister to the kitchen to take a look, then sent them to find some hay and firewood beside the house. She rolled up her sleeves and began to wash the pots and pans. While her brother and sister were not back yet, she filled the two buckets with water.

Soon, the younger brother and sister came back with firewood. Although the two little guys were small, they were forced to work since they were young, so they were very capable and quickly started a fire. Lin Xijin added a few bowls of water to the pot, scooped out some after it boiled, and then drank a few sips with her younger brother and sister.

Lin Xijin took out the brown rice given by Grandma He, put it into the pot to cook, and when her younger brothers and sisters were not paying attention, she took out three steamed buns from the space.

The porridge was ready, and the siblings were starving, so they wolfed it down with the steamed buns. When they were half full, the younger brother stopped eating. Lin Xijin asked: "Xihui, why don't you eat anymore?" Lin Xihui said: "Sister, I'm full. Let's save the rest for tomorrow."

Lin Xijin knew that the child was afraid of being hungry and having nothing to eat tomorrow. A wave of heartache surged in her heart, and she hurriedly comforted him: "Eat quickly, there will be more tomorrow. Tomorrow, sister will go to the town to buy some food. In the future, sister will help you make money, and we will never go hungry again."

After hearing her words, Lin Xihui finally finished his porridge and steamed buns with peace of mind.

After eating, the brother and sister chattered: "Sister, today's porridge and steamed buns are especially delicious, fragrant and sweet!"

"Sister, the water tastes really good, too. It's sweet..."

Lin Xijin knew that it was the magic of the spiritual spring in the space and the joy of new life that brought happiness to her younger brothers and sisters.

He patted their heads and smiled with relief.

The three siblings washed the pots and dishes, and boiled a pot of hot water. Lin Xijin first helped her younger siblings clean up and settle them before returning to the kitchen to tidy herself up.

After taking off her tattered clothes, she saw scars all over her body. Lin Xijin knew how miserable she was without looking in the mirror.

Lin Xijin washed herself and put on her only worn-out clothes. The clothes were patched up and looked quite old. They were still empty and didn't fit her body. Lin Xijin remembered that these were the clothes left by her original mother. After cleaning up, Lin Xijin felt refreshed.

Lin Xijin walked out of the room and stood at the door, looking into the distance. She saw bamboo shadows swaying in the distance and the sunset painted the sky with an orange hue. Lin Xijin thought, God let her live again, with the life experience of the previous life and the cheating artifact, she will live a wonderful life.

Lin Xijin turned around and looked at the back mountain that was gradually becoming quiet in the dusk, and her heart also calmed down. This back mountain was very familiar to me since I went there to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables when I was a child. Let's start from the back mountain tomorrow.

Lin Xijin turned and entered the room. Seeing that her younger brother and sister were already fast asleep, she lay down beside them. Her consciousness sank into the space, and she saw that there was not only a pool of clear spring water, but also a warehouse, a pharmacy, a winery, even the medicinal garden she had planted in her previous life and the large tracts of farmland around it. Her heart felt greatly relieved.

After sorting out what I need to do tomorrow, I fell asleep.

The next day, the sky was hazy with only a hint of dawn in the east. Lin Xijin got up, washed up, and seeing that his younger brother and sister were still sleeping, he put on his backpack and walked towards the back mountain.

There is a forest at the foot of the mountain. There are a few persimmon, hawthorn and sour pomelo trees, and the rest are just some bushes. Perhaps because the land is barren and no one takes care of them, the trees are all small, sour and astringent, and really not tasty. Now it is mid-September, and there are still a few sour pomeloes on the top of the pomelo trees.

Lin Xijin continued walking towards the back of the mountain, and soon arrived at the entrance of a cave at the foot of the mountain. She learned that there was a pool of running water in the cave. She remembered that when it rained in the past, the water level would rise and the mountain spring water would overflow.

Lin Xijin stood at the foot of the mountain and looked around. There was an open space in front of the mountain, about three or four hundred acres. Maybe because it was a wasteland, there were only some weeds and some low bushes growing on it.

There are four mountains connected to each other at the back, with the one behind Xijin's old house as the main one. This main peak is high and steep, reaching into the sky. The people in Shiziwo regard it as the protector of the whole village and call it Zhulin Mountain.

Behind this mountain is a col connecting the other three mountains, which is divided into three levels like a ladder. The three mountains are like three guardians, surrounding Zhulin Mountain. Because it is surrounded by mountains, it is named Shiziwo.

Lin Xijin knew that there were wild boars, tigers and wolves on the mountain. The villagers usually only dared to dig wild vegetables and chop firewood at the foot of the mountain and did not dare to go up to the valley easily.

He climbed to the valley in one breath. Although he drank some spiritual spring water, he was still a little out of breath because his body was too thin.

I found a flat open space, sat cross-legged and practiced the internal energy techniques I had learned in my previous life. Immediately, my blood circulation began to flow smoothly and I felt refreshed.

Lin Xijin picked a few handfuls of wild vegetables, and saw some medicinal herbs, so she picked some as well.

He took out a handful of corn from the space, put it on the ground, and propped up the basket he had brought with him. Soon, he saw two pheasants coming out, looking around. Finally, they saw the corn under the basket, walked over and started to eat. Lin Xijin pulled the rope in his hand, and the two pheasants were covered. Lin Xijin pulled a vine, tied up the pheasants, packed the herbs and wild vegetables, and then took out a hundred-year-old ginseng from the space, put the basket on his back and started to go down the mountain.

I went down to the foot of the mountain, picked a few sour pomeloes, added three sweet pomeloes from the space, and then strode home.

When I was almost home, I heard my younger brother and sister shouting, and there was anxiety in their voices.

Lin Xijin quickly responded: "Sister is here!" The younger brother and sister heard it and ran over, followed by an elderly woman. Lin Xijin searched the memory of the original body and knew that this was the Qi Po who lived in the land temple next door.

Grandma Qi had no children and lived alone in the land temple. Her clan gave her some rice during festivals, and she usually lived on picking wild vegetables and fruits. Her life was very hard.

When Qi Po saw Lin Xijin, she smiled and said, "Jin girl, you went to pick wild vegetables so early, and you also caught two pheasants? Xihui Xijia couldn't find you, so she was very worried."

Xi Jin thanked Qi Po and returned home with his younger brother and sister.

The younger brother and sister were overjoyed when they saw the pheasant in their sister's hand and the things in the backpack. They were like happy magpies, chirping and telling their sister how worried they were when they woke up and couldn't find her, and how they looked for her everywhere. Xijia also didn't forget to cook porridge with coarse grains.

The three siblings were busy preparing breakfast. Lin Xijin looked at the porridge water that was so big that she could reflect her shadow, so she had no choice but to turn back to her room, take out three steamed buns from her space, and eat them with her younger siblings along with the coarse grain porridge.

After breakfast, Lin Xijin asked her younger brother and sister to look after the house, and then she prepared to sell herbs in town and buy some things for the family. She was too weak now, and she had to hide her cheating artifact. As the saying goes, "A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure." She still understood the truth, and before she became strong, she could only plan step by step.

Lin Xijin took out the grapefruit and wild vegetables, leaving only the herbs, and told her younger brothers and sisters to eat porridge and grapefruit if they were hungry, then she picked up the backpack and went out.

When passing by the land temple, he told Qi Po to look after his younger brothers and sisters. Qi Po smiled and said, "Girl Jin, don't worry, I will take care of them. Your parents helped me a lot in the past!"

Lin Xijin hurriedly thanked Qi Po and set off with peace of mind.

Lin Xijin walked to the top of the camphor tree in the village. The ox cart of the clan elder, the fifth uncle, was parked under the tree. The driver was the fifth uncle's eldest son Dashun, and four or five women from the village were already sitting in the cart.

When everyone saw Lin Xijin coming, they all shouted, "Jin girl, are you going to town? Take your uncle Dashun's ox cart. You can't walk to town with your small body."

Lin Xijin thought about it and realized that it would take her so long to walk to the town with her short legs. She might as well spend a few cents to get something comfortable.

So he got on the ox cart and said to Dashun: "Uncle Dashun, I don't have any copper coins now. Can I give them to you when I come back?"

Dashun smiled and said, "Jin girl, just sit there and relax. I can pay you another day." Dashun learned about Jin girl's miserable experience from his old father. He thought he could help her as much as he could. But the woman next to him said, "Jin girl, you don't want to refuse to pay, do you? Dashun, I don't have any money either. I will pay you another day."

Dashun saw that the woman was the bitter woman from the village laizi family, who was always gossipy and greedy, so he said angrily: "If you don't have money, get off the car and walk. You are tall and strong, and you won't die even if you walk!" The other women also echoed.

When the leper woman heard that she would not be allowed to ride in the car, she dared not say anything.

Then the ox cart set off. The women saw the herbs in Lin Xijin's basket and asked curiously: "Jin girl, are these all herbs? Take them to the town to sell!"

Lin Xijin smiled and replied "yes", and then said nothing more.
