Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

After getting up and washing up in the morning, Wang found that her father and second uncle were missing when eating. She thought they had gone out in the morning and didn't think much about it. She said to the children, "Second aunt is at home today. You guys be good. Grandpa, grandma and I will go to the mountain to chop firewood."

When Bi Yue heard this, she thought there was a good chance, so she said to Wang, "Mom, I want to go with you. You chop wood, and I'll dig wild vegetables beside you. I promise I won't make any noise."

"I'll go too, digging wild vegetables with my second sister."

Tingwei also called out. Grandma looked at Grandpa, then at Wang. Grandpa said, "The two older ones go, the two younger ones stay at home, and the second oldest one stays at home to look after the two younger ones."

"Yeah!!!" The two little ones made happy sounds at the same time.

The country children are running all over the mountains like this one, without any restraint. Today the weather is good, the mountain flowers are in full bloom, and the air is fresh. It is a good season for spring outings.

It was good to have three adults accompany them. The adults took the tools for going up the mountain. Wang found a small backpack, a small basket, and two small hand hoes, and gave one to each of them. Tingwei rushed to carry the backpack. Although he was a few months younger than Biyue, he was strong and those who didn't know him would think he was the older brother. Biyue took the small basket and went up the mountain with the adults to chop firewood on her short legs.

Tingwei held Biyue's hand and said, "We will have a wild vegetable digging competition later to see who can dig the most."

"Okay!"

Bi Yue agreed verbally, but she was thinking: If I sell my wild vegetables to the system, they will definitely not be as good as yours.

Biyue lives at the east end of the village, with four or five families nearby. They walk around these families, across a large field, and head up the mountain.

The two little ones could keep up at first when they walked on the flat road, but they slowed down when they started going uphill. After walking for half an hour, their short legs could not keep up with the adults' pace and they were out of breath. The three elders saw them and waited in front.

The two little ones came up to her, and grandma squatted down, "Girl, grandma will carry you."

Wang said, "Mother, let me carry you on my back. I won't tire you out."

"It's okay. Nannan is just a little girl, how heavy can she be? I'm not old or eighty years old, I'm in good health! Please help me carry the things."

Grandpa also bent down and said, "Tingwei, Grandpa will carry you on his back until we get to the flat ground on the mountain. You and your sister will come down. The mountain road is not easy to walk on now."

Ting Wei got on his grandfather's back without hesitation, "Grandpa, I'm still young now, you carry me, and when you're old I'll carry you."

"Good! You are such a good grandson. I love you for what you have done."

Bi Yue also said, "Grandma, I will also be filial to you, grandpa, parents and parents."

"Hahaha!"

"Okay, great, grandma is waiting."

"Hahaha!" With laughter and joy, I didn't feel tired at all along the way.

After walking for an hour, they stopped at a pine forest. On one side was the forest and on the other side was relatively flat. I put the two kids down and told them to stay here and not run too far, and not to go to the cliff as it was very dangerous.

The three elders started to chop wood.

Biyue said to Tingwei, "Third brother, there are a lot of wild vegetables here. I'll give you a bamboo pot. You can dig some earthworms and take them home to feed the chickens. You go to the left and I'll be on the right."

He started to separate from Tingwei with a small basket in his hand, dug with a small hoe, and said to the system: "0025, received!"

"okay!"

The plants in this area are growing well, and there are several kinds of wild vegetables. Less than 20 minutes later, the system said, "It's over 100 episodes. Is it time to upgrade now or in the evening?"

"It must be an upgrade tonight. Now I will speed up to exchange for more points. 0025, do you have a scanning function? Help me scan and see if there are any valuable goodies?"

"Host, yes, but it can't scan very far. It's only 200 meters with you as the center. It will be better after upgrading."

"Now look at what's within 200 meters?"

"Okay, host, go 200 meters ahead from where you are standing. There is something good."

Bi Yue walked forward to the designated place and stood there. There was a steep cliff that seemed to grow from the bottom of the mountain, blocking the road. Looking down on the left side, the mountain wall split the opposite mountain in two, as if a giant had cut it with a big knife. Below was a deep ravine, more than ten meters wide between the mountains. There were many small shrubs growing on the opposite mountain wall.

There is no road, how can I find it? There are two small pine trees growing tenaciously in the cracks of the cliff. They are estimated to be more than one meter high, with lush branches and leaves, and they are climbing down from the high stone wall.

After a winter, the haystacks are no longer visible. This is a cliff, but can’t you see the treasure?

"Host, climb forward from the direction of this small tree, but be careful, hold on to the small pine tree and walk along the stone wall."

Biyue used a small hoe in one hand to pull away the grass beside the small tree, and began to climb forward about ten steps, closely following the stone wall. She saw a concave hole in the stone wall that could only accommodate a child of 4 to 5 years old.

Bi Yue crawled in. The inside was wider than the outside. There was a big dead tree lying on the ground, with three red mushrooms as big as an adult's palm growing on it. Bi Yue guessed that this must be a good thing.

"Host, this is Zizhi, you are rich."

“Is Zizhi valuable?”

"Of course. The one in the middle is the largest. I checked and it's 50 years old. The other two are 40 years old. You will have a lot of points if you redeem them all!"

"No, no more than two. I want to keep one to sell."

Bi Yue took them all and put them in a small compartment in the system, ready to exchange them in the evening.

"0025, I had a hard time getting into this cave just now. If it gets bigger, I won't be able to get in. The dead tree is about three meters away from the cave entrance. This dead tree will definitely grow purple fungus in the future. Does the system accept this big dead tree?"

"Good idea, why didn't I think of it, haha!" Bi Yue rolled her eyes and put her hand on the dead tree, and the dead tree disappeared.

"Host, 800 points have been received."

"0025. Why are there so many? What's the reason?"

"Host, this dead wood itself is not valuable. I just scanned it and found Ganoderma lucidum seeds on it. There are living buds inside the dead wood, and Ganoderma lucidum will grow in the future, so it is worth the price."

Bi Yue walked out of the cave, then climbed out from the small pine tree. Her clothes were covered with dead leaves, ashes, and dirt. They were extremely dirty.

Stand in a spacious area.

Bi Yue wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, exhaled and asked the system: "If I accidentally fell off the cliff just now, would you save me?"

"I am at a low level now. When you fall, I will help you slow down your descent and land safely. But the mountains are dangerous. The host is only 5 years old and has no ability to protect himself. The consequences are a bit serious."

"Then why did you let me come? Isn't there another place that is safe and has treasures?"

"Host, do you think the treasures within 200 meters are weeds? They are everywhere. Every year, there are more than a hundred people who go up the mountain to look for treasures. Everyone wants to get rich overnight. You were lucky enough to find it today. If you don't pick it today, it will be even harder to do so in the future."

"I'm sorry, I was being sentimental. I only thought about the danger just now. Treasures are directly proportional to risks. Don't be angry. I was wrong."

"Okay! I forgive you."

Biyue found a lot of medicinal herbs nearby and filled half a basket with wild vegetables. She tied up a handful of valuable herbs and put them on the basket. Then she went to find her grandfather, grandmother, mother and brother. From a distance, she saw Tingwei standing by a clump of bushes looking around. When he saw Biyue, he hurriedly called out, "Second sister, here, come quickly."

Biyue came over with a basket. Tingwei looked at what was on the basket and asked, "What is this?" "Medicinal herbs? Second sister, you can identify medicinal herbs and dig so many? You can sell them for a lot of money, right?"

The two put their things together and walked towards the woods, shouting as they walked. "Grandpa!"

"grandmother!"

"mother!"

The response from inside was, “Coming right up.

"After a while, three people each carried out two large bundles of firewood. Grandpa's firewood was not very dry, while grandma's and Wang's were all dry. The two children, one carrying it on their backs and the other holding it in their hands, followed the adults down the mountain, walking and stopping along the way, and it took them nearly an hour to get back home.
