After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

She is going to find that ginseng now!

This is her capital for turning things around!

And she had to find a reason to go to the county town openly!

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Ning got up, opened the door, and went to the kitchen to cook without saying a word.

A plate of pickles, three bowls of multi-grain porridge, and three multi-grain steamed buns – this is breakfast for the mother and her two children.

The remaining small bowl of porridge was Zhong Ning's breakfast today.

Although the food on the table was several times richer than what Zhong Ning had eaten, it was still too much for Xu Yongzhang, who was studying abroad and considered himself a scholar.

Still hard to swallow.

Looking at the cold food at home, I think about my current situation.

Xu Yongzhang secretly made up his mind to take Wu Jinshi as his teacher.

Only in this way can he have a chance to take the exam next year and gain honors!

As long as he can pass the imperial examination, he is willing to pay any price!

Zhou Yuhua looked at her son with a bad face and felt a pang of frustration. She also wanted to do something good for her son, but the situation at home was really...

Halfway through the meal, Zhong Ning suddenly spoke:

"Mom, I heard some villagers have been going up the mountain to collect pine nuts these days. The food in the kitchen is almost gone. How about I go up the mountain to collect some dry goods today and then sell them in town for some money?"

"Okay, then pick up more. Remember to buy some flour and meat with the money. It's not easy for your brother to come back. We can't let him suffer any loss."

Zhou Yuhua frowned, as if she had thought of something, and then added, "Let's see if we can buy some more pens and ink. Your eldest brother has worked hard studying, and these things are expensive. Let's give him some more!"

When Xu Yongzhang heard this, his expression eased a lot.

But Xu Yongkang's face looked bad.

That's it again!

Every time the eldest brother comes back, the whole family revolves around him.

In my mother's heart and eyes, there is only my eldest brother, and she can't see his shadow at all.

I can’t let my brother suffer any loss.

Can you just do it at your own expense?

Xu Yongkang looked indignant. He looked up at his elder brother, then quickly lowered his head as if nothing had happened!

Zhong Ning returned to the kitchen and curled his lips in silence!

There are only a few dry goods in the mountains, and we don’t know how much we can pick up, and we don’t know how much we can sell them for. But now we have already calculated where the money will be spent.

What's the difference between this and those modern people who give you 200 yuan and ask you to buy two sets of clothes, a set of cosmetics, and some New Year's goods?

Buy white flour and meat.

You also need to buy writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

I should be thankful if it can be sold for ten copper coins in exchange for three pounds of coarse grains.

That's hilarious!

Zhong Ning kept complaining in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Just responded softly.

After everyone had finished eating, Zhong Ning cleared the table, washed the pots and dishes, and cleaned the house.

At this time, Zhou Yuhua had already hurried out.

Xu Yongzhang returned to the academy.

No one knows where Xu Yongkang went again!

Zhong Ning is the only one left at home!

Zhong Ning carried the broken basket on his back and was about to go out, but then he seemed to think of something and walked to the door of the west room where Zhou Yuhua lived.

She planned to go up the mountain to dig ginseng today and not come back.

Xu Yongzhang rarely went home yesterday, and he must have told Zhou Yuhua about his plan in the evening. The two of them had already set their sights on him.

If you don't escape now, you will be sold!

She is not one of those time-traveling heroines who was a special forces soldier or a scientist in her previous life. She is just an ordinary person.

An ordinary office worker!

Now that I have traveled here, I have only become a cannon fodder or stepping stone.

If she doesn't save herself, who can save her?

It's just a time travel, but at least I have to find out the identity of the original body in the fortune book, judging from the attitude of this family towards the original body.

She suspected that the original body was not the biological child of this family.

But it still needs to be verified.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning used scissors to open the small lock on the west room door and opened the room directly.

After entering the room, Zhong Ning looked around and his eyes finally fell on the medium-sized black wooden box under the bed.

Zhong Ning searched the room again and again, and then found a key that looked like the key to the box under Zhou Yuhua's pillow.

Only then did he successfully open the box.

There are three things inside.

A purse with eight taels of silver in it.

A cloth bag, inside which was an exquisite and small gold and jade necklace.

Under the cloth bag was a tattered blue sealed book.

Zhong Ning was overjoyed.

Silver is exactly what she needs right now.

The necklace wrapped in the cloth bag was obviously very valuable and was not something a peasant woman like Zhou Yuhua could own.

I took out the sealed book and looked at it carefully, only then did I realize that many of the words were difficult to recognize.

The original body didn't know many words, only about a few dozen.

The few I knew were the ones I learned secretly when I heard my eldest brother reciting lessons and practicing writing on the ground at home when he was a child.

Zhong Ning had no choice but to guess.

Well, this word should be eight, eighty-three...

And this character should be "Jing".

Little grass, Beijing...

Um....and home...come...

A noble person... and so on.

Zhong Ning frowned and began to associate the words he knew with each other. The grass represents the original body, and the word "Jing" means the capital city, right?

Could it be that what is recorded here is the origin of the original body?

Jing, the capital city. His original body was abducted and sold from the capital city.

That's for sure!

Zhong Ning closed the booklet and secretly made up his mind that after he got away, he would find a teacher to learn how to read.

What exactly is recorded in it? She should wait until she learns the characters of this era before reading it carefully.

Then Zhong Ning sent the entire box into the space.

She didn't lock the door when she left.

Both the main door and Zhou Yuhua's door were wide open.

Although the people in the village are of good character, there are still some petty thieves.

Zhong Ning took away the important items in the box, so naturally he had to attribute the incident to theft and invasion by outsiders.

She carried the broken basket on her back and went to the back mountain.

Along the way, I met many people from the same village who also wanted to go to the mountains to pick up bargains.

Faced with the friendly greetings from these uncles and aunts, Zhong Ning simply ignored them.

There were also some people who saw her going into the mountains alone and secretly followed her, wanting to attack her secretly, but they were also avoided by Zhong Ning by taking many detours.

She moved carefully along the way, following the topography of the mountain in her original memory, and moved deeper into the mountains bit by bit.

During this time, she came across a wild chestnut tree, shook down half a basket of chestnuts for use, and picked up some pine nuts that fell on the ground.

This would give her a real excuse to go to town openly.

After all, if you meet someone on the way, it will be easier to get rid of them!

Zhong Ning thought, if the plot book she dreamed of was true.

Then she will definitely be able to find ginseng. There will be guidance from somewhere that will lead her to the right place.

Sure enough, after she finally reached the mountains and about an hour later, she saw a few small red fruits under a huge pine tree.

When I got closer, I saw that it was exactly the unique appearance of ginseng.

Judging from its shape, which is as thick as half a forearm, it must be at least a hundred years old. I heard that it has a lot of whiskers and can be broken if you are not careful.
