At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

Lin Qing has become accustomed to the system's vague descriptions of tasks, and she has also learned to infer the difficulty of the tasks based on the rewards.

This reward really made her very excited, and she straightened her back unconsciously.

A house in the capital!

The houses in the town only cost a dozen or so taels, how much would one in the capital cost!

In a moment she calmed down from her great excitement.

There is no free lunch in the world, and there is no such thing as a pie-in-the-sky job.

The reward is so generous, which only means that the task is extremely difficult.

After checking the task list again, Lin Qing finally found something wrong and his hair stood on end.

'Return to Beijing in glory'.

These four words inexplicably reminded her of the great TV series that she had watched countless times while eating.

The heroine with black makeup stepped on the past step by step, facing the different expressions of the crowd, and walked forward calmly, with a smile that was three parts disdain and four parts desolate at the corner of her lips. Then she was favored by the harem and her great revenge was achieved.

Ah, this...

Lin Qing clenched her fists. Could it be that her mission was to help a pregnant queen return to the palace and help the current emperor keep his environmental protection hat on?

But she is not a coward, she is a person who knows medical skills!

Besides, she is still young and doesn’t want to play this kind of Nine Clans Elimination Game!

As she staggered, she felt more and more regretful, thinking to herself that she should have stayed at home today, maybe this weird mission wouldn't have been triggered!

[Ding, that's not the case. This quest will automatically trigger as soon as you leave Songsi Village~]

Lin Qing curled his lips and thought to himself that your task triggering is quite overbearing. What's the difference between this and forced buying and selling?

She was arguing with the system, and everyone in the car, with their own thoughts, unconsciously focused their attention on the three of them, mother and son.

Seeing Lin Qing's face change color, he thought she had discovered something and hurriedly followed her gaze.

Tsk, this is just as boring as before, what's there to see?

In the distance, there is a vague green, and the gray is so hazy that it is impossible to distinguish the boundary between heaven and earth.

This……

That’s not right. Why is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family watching so seriously? Is there something wrong that they haven’t noticed?

The group of people almost popped their eyes out of their heads, but still didn't understand what was going on.

Although he wanted to ask, he could see that Lin Qing turned his head away, and his refusal to communicate was obvious. He could only suppress the curiosity in his heart that was like a cat scratching.

But the actual situation was that Lin Qing felt a little carsick.

When she exited the system, her throat suddenly felt blocked and she felt dizzy.

The driver's driving skills were excellent and the speed was appropriate, but...

hum-

Once again, the ditch that almost threw people out made Lin Qing unable to stop complaining. This kind of discrimination was too serious. No wonder so many people wanted to be officials!

It was only then that she realized that there was indeed only one road leading to the town, but ordinary people could not take the flat "official road" in the middle and could only take the "lower road".

The road was covered with many ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages, and the mud after the rain and snow was left unattended and had to be dried up by the weather, resulting in a road surface that looked like the face of a Shar-Pei dog, with gullies and bumps.

No wonder she gets carsick.

After finally reaching the town with all his might, Lin Qing felt like he was going to fall apart in the next second.

The two children were also feeling extremely uncomfortable, but they still reached out to help their mother down.

Lin Qing leaned against the wall with weak hands and feet and retched for a long time before his eyes gradually regained their sight.

He patted his chest and took a few breaths before he felt his mind return to normal. He hurriedly told the two children in a hoarse voice not to run around.

In fact, the two children were already frightened and stood there, not daring to move.

They stared at the busy street in front of them like wooden hands, pinching each other's arms. Only when they felt the sharp pain did they realize that they were not dreaming.

The shock that Anping Town brought them this time was even greater than that of the capital city where they would live later.

In fact, Anping Town was an inconspicuous town in Songyang County decades ago. It has developed to this day entirely because the world-renowned scholar Ruan Wusi suddenly settled here for some unknown reason.

Scholars and poets who admired his talent and learning came here to "pay homage". Among them were many smart people who advised Ruan Wusi that since he liked this place, he should set up a college to lecture on scriptures and study, so as to spread his knowledge.

Although Ruan Wusi had not yet entered the secular world, he was deeply moved when he heard the man say, "In the future, all the civil and military officials in the court will have your students. This will be a beautiful story indeed."

He then joined forces with several like-minded friends to establish Songyang Academy.

As a result, Anping Town became famous.

It is said that the county magistrate of Songyang County visited Ruan Wusi three times and prepared a large amount of gifts to invite him to be his aide, but he was rejected every time.

Afterwards, the county magistrate simply mobilized a large number of troops to move the county government office here so that he could come and ask for advice from time to time.

But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The county magistrate originally thought that by leveraging the power of Songyang Academy, not only Anping Town, but even Songyang County could prosper, and it was possible that they could even be on par with the deputy capital.

But who knew that the town was so dilapidated that apart from Songyang Academy, there was nothing else that could be used to retain people. Most of the students stayed here just to study.

After the scientific examination, no matter whether they graduated from high school or not, they never wanted to come back to this desolate place.

Therefore, in Lin Qing's eyes, this small town was lifeless due to famine and lack of vitality, like an old man in his twilight years.

But for the two brothers, it was a bolt from the blue that completely changed their worldview.

Gu Ermiao and Gu Sihe stood in front of the city gate, staring blankly at the world inside, as if they were people from Wuling who had strayed into the Peach Blossom Spring.

The sounds of hawking came one after another, the shops were well-organized, people were coming and going, the streets stretched as far as the eye could see, and there seemed to be a temple with a lot of incense at the end, with a lot of people and noise, which was completely different from Songsi Village.

In their short lives, they had never seen such a bustling scene. It was simply a dazzling display of flowers...

It was at this moment that Gu Ermiao finally felt relieved.

He finally understood what his mother said.

There must be people here who are willing to pay a high price for their sour jujube cakes!

Someone didn't know what important matter was going on at the city gate today, so officers and soldiers were constantly patrolling. Seeing their rude behavior of not caring about passers-by at all, Lin Qing hurriedly hugged the two children and protected them behind him.

The two brothers were suddenly in an unfamiliar environment and were still nervous. Like chicks that had just hatched from eggs, they subconsciously relied on Lin Qing, reaching out to grab the corner of her clothes and never leaving her side.

Lin Qing soothed her softly, "Don't be afraid, just hold my hand and stay with me."

Gu Ermiao, who was always carrying his brother's baggage, calmed down after a moment and said, "Mom, where are we going next?"

Lin Qing didn't want to wander around like a headless fly. Seeing a fruit stall not far from the city gate, he said, "He's still selling fruit during the famine. He must be well-informed and wealthy. Let's go ask him."

There are not many customers in front of the fruit stall at the moment. The slightly plump stall owner is waving a palm-leaf fan to drive away flying insects.

"Excuse me, big brother, can you tell me how to get to the preserves shop?"

Lin Qingmin noticed that the stall owner's expression changed subtly as soon as she finished speaking.
