In my 40s, the trading system took me flying

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"The wolf is coming?"

"Fell into a trap?"

Xu Xiaoya and the other three ran over, thinking that something had happened to Gu Yusheng. However, as soon as they got there, they found Gu Yusheng squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, his face full of tear marks.

The four were speechless.

They all looked in the direction Gu Yusheng was pointing with his trembling hands, and sure enough, they saw a small snake crawling away in that direction.

"Snake, there's a snake here!"

Gu Yusheng's voice was full of grievance.

Xu Xiaoya stepped forward and poked Gu Yusheng's arm: "That's a rat snake, it's not poisonous, what are you afraid of?"

There are the most snakes and insects in this kind of valley, so they all carry insect repellent powder prepared by their parents. Generally, even if snakes and insects appear, they will avoid people and leave unless you actively attack them.

Originally, the little snake was just passing by and would not really attack Gu Yusheng. On the contrary, if Gu Yusheng made such a big noise, it might anger the little snake and it might bite him.

"That's a snake!"

Gu Yusheng's snot and tears were flying at the same time, it was so painful to watch.

Little Stone couldn't stand it any longer and pulled him, "So what if it's a snake? It's just that the little snake is too small. If it were a bigger one, we could catch it and stew it for meat!"

Gu Yusheng's face was already pale.

What did you just hear?

Eat snake meat?

Who among the mountain people hasn’t eaten it?

Only a foreigner like Gu Yusheng would be so scared. Xiao Shitou and Xu Twelve laughed at him. Fortunately, because Gu Yusheng was a crybaby and had a good temper, he could only hang his head.

Just as I walked to the stream with firewood, I screamed again because a spider appeared in my sight.

Xu Xiaoya and the other three covered their ears at the same time.

It's really killing me.

Why are you so timid?

Xu Xiaoya even doubted whether the plot in the book was fake. Could such a cowardly male protagonist really become the richest man in the future?

It is hard to say whether he can survive and wait for the Japanese to leave, or even grow up alive.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter any scary little creatures later. Gu Yusheng sat obediently beside the fire and only had to watch over and add firewood to prevent him from starting to yell again.

Xu Shier cleaned the pheasant and stuffed various wild vegetables and roots picked by Xu Xiaoya into the chicken's stomach. He also squeezed out the internal organs of some small fish and shrimps found in the stream and stuffed them into the chicken's stomach. He then wrapped it with large leaves, covered it with yellow mud, and threw it into the fire.

All that's left is waiting.

Of course, while waiting, it doesn’t mean you have to do nothing.

The weather has begun to warm up, but it is still very cold in the mountains. However, there are some wild vegetable sprouts that have popped up early everywhere, or some edible mushrooms.

Xu Xiaoya has a system for identification, so she is not afraid of encountering poisonous mushrooms.

Except for Gu Yusheng, Xu Xiaoya and the other three were picking mushrooms and digging wild vegetables, having a lot of fun.

Sometimes Xu Shier would climb trees to touch bird eggs.

At this time, the birds have begun to build nests and lay eggs.

Chunya, on the other hand, found a lot of chili shells and roasted them by the fire.

This thing can be eaten when it is roasted and bursts. The spicy peppers inside are especially delicious.

In short, there are all kinds of unexpected delicacies in the mountains. Children only know a limited amount, but it is enough to make them happy eating.

During this process, Xu Xiaoya acted as the intelligent brain. Everyone would find Xu Xiaoya to share their good things as soon as they found them, for fear that they would fall behind and Xu Xiaoya would not notice them.

Gu Yusheng had been observing Xu Xiaoya throughout the entire process. He didn't understand why Xu Xiaoya was the youngest among these children, yet she was the one everyone had to believe in.

He couldn't understand it at first, but when he saw Xu Xiaoya swinging the dagger and nailing a water snake to his feet, his observation was completely over and only admiration remained.

Not only can you get meat to eat by following Xu Xiaoya, but your life will also be guaranteed.

An hour later, the fire went out. The five children dug out some more light and found the chicken was already roasted. They cracked open the yellow mud shell and peeled off the big leaves, and the salty aroma of the chicken came out.

The five children were so greedy that they didn't care about the heat and started to eat. Soon everyone had a piece of chicken in their hands.

Gu Yusheng originally thought that the chicken cooked so casually would not taste good, but he did not expect that the chicken was surprisingly delicious, with an indescribable fragrance. Although the meat was firm, it was not dry.

A pheasant was not very big, and the five children ate it all in a few bites each.

Although I didn’t feel full, it satisfied my craving.

After eating, they used stream water to extinguish the scattered sparks on the fire, and then the five children went home.

Old Mrs. Xu was making pancakes. When she saw them come back, she invited them over to eat some hot pancakes.

The children who usually scrambled for it were not so enthusiastic today. Old Mrs. Xu came closer and smelled it.

"You guys are sneaking in extra food again!"

Xu Xiaoya hugged Old Lady Xu's arm and said, "Grandma, we are all growing. If we don't have extra food, won't we grow taller?"

Old Mrs. Xu poked Xu Xiaoya on the forehead and told her to stop making excuses, but she still stuffed an egg pancake into her hand and told her to sit next to her and eat it obediently.

The other four people were naturally not left out either. Each of them held an egg pancake in their hands and sat obediently beside the stove. They were all very well-behaved.

After eating the omelet, Chunya went home.

Xu Shier dragged Xiao Shitou and Gu Yusheng out to look for his elder brother to see what goodies they had caught today. Only Xu Xiaoya leaned against Old Lady Xu and asked, "Grandma, who is that Gu Yusheng? Why did he come here?"

Old Lady Xu would never treat Xu Xiaoya as a real child. "His family situation is special, and he came here to seek refuge!"

Xu Xiaoya was surprised. How special?

But she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she yawned. She was tired after playing for a whole day.

Old Mrs. Xu asked her to go back to her room and sleep. Xu Xiaoya responded obediently, but she did not go back to her own room directly. Instead, she went to Xu's father and mother's room. Xu's father was in the town after going down the mountain, and Xu's mother was looking after Xiao Shisi.

"Mom, was my little brother good today?"

Xu Xiaoya came to the rocking cradle and reached out to hold Xiao Shisi's fingers. The chubby little guy smiled at Xu Xiaoya with his gums showing.

Seeing the interaction between the siblings, Xu's mother said with tenderness, "He can't even roll over, he must be very well behaved!"

Xu Xiaoya clicked her tongue.

It’s only fun for children at this age, but they will start to be disliked when they grow up.

"I changed some clothes for my little brother. Mom, please wash them and you can change them for him after they are dry!"

Little Fourteen was only a few months old. Although Xu's mother and old lady Xu tried their best to provide the child with soft cloth, due to limited conditions, there was too little fine cotton cloth. They had to use the clothes discarded by the children at home, which were ironed and washed to make small clothes, and they still rubbed the skin.

Xu Xiaoya remembered it after seeing it once. Today, she finally found the right cotton cloth and naturally traded it back.

Mother Xu was very happy when she touched the soft and breathable fabric.

She had never touched such comfortable fabric before. It was indeed comfortable to make clothes for children.

"You better be careful recently. There are outsiders at home. If they see your ability, you don't know if they will take notice of you!"

This is true, Xu Xiaoya naturally understands Xu's mother's worries.

"Mom, I'll pay attention to it. But as for my uncle, are you really not going to write a letter to them?"

The last time Su Mingquan came, he brought bad news. After that, many things happened and Xu Xiaoya had forgotten about what Zheng Zixuan had done. Today, she suddenly remembered it and asked Xu's mother.

Mother Xu shook her head. "Why write? Your uncle is really nice to me, but sometimes he's too concerned about weighing the pros and cons. I don't want to be a bargaining chip in his hands!"

If she had not escaped back then, she might not be alive today, and would not have had such a special daughter like Xu Xiaoya.

"But since Zheng Zixuan is still thinking about you, we can't just remain silent. I'll write a letter to your Uncle Zhou and give him a chance to cause some trouble for the Zheng family."

Xu's mother is not a pushover either. When it comes to her daughter's personal safety, she will always try her best to protect her child.

Speaking of Uncle Zhou, Xu Xiaoya asked her mother to add: "Please tell Uncle Zhou if he still needs the medicine. If he does, come to us to exchange, but we want the loom!"

This thing is neither difficult to find nor easy to find, but it also requires some connections.

Xu Xiaoya searched for this thing in the trading system for a long time but couldn't find it.

The trading system is not something that can appear as you wish, and since the last time I posted a help video, I have not been able to open it a second time.

This system is a dumb system, and Xu Xiaoya has to figure everything out on her own.

I don’t know when I will be able to understand everything, but Xu Xiaoya is not in a hurry.

As long as the space is usable, it is the greatest support for Xu Xiaoya.

Xu's mother spread out the letter paper and quickly wrote a letter, waiting for Xu's father to come back and give it to him. Letters could only be mailed at the foot of the mountain.

After staying with Xu's mother for a while and seeing that Xiao Shisi fell asleep, Xu Xiaoya returned to her own bed and fell asleep quickly as well.

For the next week, Xu Xiaoya kept helping Gu Yusheng train his courage, which really tortured him a lot.

Especially because Gu Yusheng was afraid of snakes and insects, Xu Xiaoya asked Xu Shier and Xiao Shitou to catch a lot of small snakes and suddenly throw them next to Gu Yusheng at any time and anywhere.

Gu Yusheng would scream and jump up and down every time.

It was so embarrassing, but no one who saw it stepped forward to stop it.

What the mountain people believe is that you should practice what you fear.

If you are timid, practice courage. Can snakes and insects be scarier than humans?

Those little Japanese devils are much scarier than these little creatures. I'm not afraid of the little Japanese devils, but I am afraid of snakes and insects. It would be embarrassing to tell others about it. I must practice.

Even Gu Yusheng's grandfather was happy to see this happen. He would always counsel Gu Yusheng, saying that he would just need to cry a few more times and that courage was something that could be gained through practice, not crying.

I thought the practice would continue for a long time, but after a piece of news came out, it had to be stopped.
