The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Looking at the almost empty rice jar, Zhao Dongchuan wondered whether he should go to Secretary Tian tomorrow to borrow some food from the brigade or buy some. Soon Zhao Dongchuan gave up the idea and waited to see what the "Newbie Gift Pack" would reveal tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongchuan washed up and prepared to go to bed. He lay in bed, thinking about what had happened and the gains and losses of the past few days, whether he had been careless enough in his words and deeds, where he should have changed his approach, etc., and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, Zhao Dongchuan woke up at daybreak. He couldn't help thinking about the mission and pretending to be busy.

Zhao Dongchuan got up, got dressed, and went out without even washing or eating breakfast.

The sky was gray at this time, the sun had not yet come out, the wind was blowing, and it was very cold.

Zhao Dongchuan tightened his clothes and shrank his neck as he walked along the Donla River, crossed the Kuyan Bridge, and came to Jinjia Bay opposite Tianjiagelao.

Last night he carefully recalled the original novel, in which there was a detail that said there were many wealthy families in Jinjia Bay in the past, and the broken porcelain was often fine and beautiful, with beautiful glaze patterns on it. Now that the weather is cold and the firewood is rotten, it is easy to find.

So in order to increase the success rate of the mission, Zhao Dongchuan arrived at Jinjia Bay early in the morning, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was still asleep and not afraid of being seen.

Zhao Dongchuan took a branch he found on the roadside, started to pull out the grass, and began to grope along Jinjia Bay.

Soon, Zhao Dongchuan found a piece of porcelain with exquisite glaze patterns, which looked like the waist of a large vase.

This thing also grows in clusters. Once you find one piece, there will be many more around it.

Sure enough, Zhao Dongchuan soon found another piece of porcelain with exquisite patterns in the grass not far away.

The two pieces found plus the eight pieces from yesterday should be enough to complete the task. However, to be on the safe side, Zhao Dongchuan continued to look for a few more pieces of porcelain with the same exquisite patterns. After feeling relatively safe, Zhao Dongchuan decisively gave up the search.

He threw away the branch, holding a few porcelain pieces in his hand, and prepared to find Tian Er to hand over the task. Before he had taken a few steps, he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Young man, wait a moment."

Zhao Dongchuan looked back and saw that the man was about forty years old, with a round waist and thick arms, and a pair of bright and sharp eyes.

Zhao Dongchuan didn't expect to meet someone so early. The people in Jinjiawan must have gotten up too early. When he got closer, Zhao Dongchuan greeted him and said, "Hello, brother. What's the matter with you?"

"You don't know me? I know you. You are an educated youth from the city. I am Jin Junwu, the captain of the second brigade. I just saw you from a distance. What are you looking for in the bushes?"

"Um, it's Brother Junwu, I know you, you are one of the most capable people in Shuangshui Village"

"Well, that's it. I heard that there are some beautiful porcelain pieces in the grass in Jinjia Bay, so I thought of coming here to find a few, take them home, wash them, and use them as decorations." As he spoke, Zhao Dongchuan stretched out his right hand and spread out his palm, which contained those exquisite porcelain pieces.

"You are quite leisurely, my kid also likes to pick these up and play with them. We have quite a few at home. If you want them, I can find you some good ones."

"No, it's not a problem. I just want to look for a few pieces. I don't need that much. Thank you, Junwu brother."

"Brother Junwu, where are you going? It's so early," said Zhao Dongchuan.

"I'll get up early so I can cut some grass for the pigs, so I won't be late for work in the morning," said Jin Junwu, raising the sickle in his hand.

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I also need to go back to eat and get ready for work."

Looking at Zhao Dongchuan's departing back, Jin Junwu muttered to himself: "People from the city are just flirting, these nonsense things can't be used to make a living."

At this time, Zhao Dongchuan didn't know that Jin Junwu was complaining about him behind his back, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't pay attention to him. He was so happy and excited that he really wanted to teleport directly to Tian Er and complete the task quickly.

But often the closer it gets to the final moment, the easier it is to make mistakes. Zhao Dongchuan came to the dark cave of Tian Er's family, covered his mouth and nose, endured the stinky smell, walked in, but found that there was no one inside.

Zhao Dongchuan felt very disappointed at this moment.

Where would he go if he wasn't at home? Could he be wandering around? Zhao Dongchuan looked distressed, as the deadline for the mission was approaching.

We need to fight quickly and find Tian Er as soon as possible before anything unexpected happens.

So Zhao Dongchuan immediately walked along the village to where Tian Er might appear. At this time, some people who got up early had already gotten up, and many people were surprised to see him, wondering why the only educated youth in the village was wandering around the village.

Sometimes when Zhao Dongchuan met people he would ask if they had seen Tian Er. Although the villagers wondered why he was looking for Tian Er, those who had seen him would help point him in the direction.

Zhao Dongchuan went to look for him according to the direction pointed by the villagers. After a long time of sweating, he finally saw Tian Er in a valley.

At this time, Tian Er was murmured, "The world is going to change! The world is going to change!" while pulling the grass. A sturdy man who looked silly followed him. Although Tian Er's silly son was silly, he also had a kind of silly energy. He went out to work in the mountains every day and was able to support the two of them.

Zhao Dongchuan was out of breath at this time. In order to find Tian Er, he basically ran all over Shuangshui Village. At this time, he didn't care about the smell of the father and son. He took out the exquisite porcelain pieces and handed them to Tian Er.

Tian Er slowly raised his head, without answering, he stared at Zhao Dongchuan, a mysterious smile appeared on his face and he said: "The world is going to change! The world is going to change!" There was a light in his eyes.

Putting aside his sloppy appearance, Tian Er really has the air of a hermit.

Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but have an absurd thought in his mind: "Could it be that Tian Er is really the "immortal" from the legendary Immortal Mountain in the back mountain of Shuangshui Village, and is traveling around the world now?"

Zhao Dongchuan quickly killed this ridiculous idea. No matter whether it was true or not, completing the task was the most important thing. Zhao Dongchuan could not care less at this moment. He directly grabbed Tian Er's arm and put the porcelain pieces into Tian Er's coat pocket.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have completed the novice mission and received ten chances to draw a prize."

"Ding, the host can start the lottery at any time"

Seeing the status of the task bar in his mind change to completed, and the chance of winning the lottery changed to 10, Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but burst into tears. Finally, the hard days were over. Although he looked calm these days, he was still hesitant and uneasy deep in his heart.

At this time, Zhao Dongchuan no longer cared about Tian Er and his son, and hurried home in a hurry. He wanted to go home and study the system lottery carefully.

Tian Er still had that signature mysterious smile on his face at this time. He watched Zhao Dongchuan leave and said, "The world is changing! The world is changing!"
