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

As you enter the house, you will see a stone screen wall with various auspicious patterns painted on it. However, the plants that originally climbed on it have been severely lacking in water, and now only dead vines remain.

A small buffer alley was built on the left side of the screen wall. A few steps east of the alley is the moon gate, and to the north is the hanging flower archway.

Inside the moon gate is a courtyard. Although it is not large, it is planted with a paulownia tree with a very beautiful image. The tree is as thick as a person can hug. To the south of the courtyard is a back house.

To the north of the hanging flower gate is the main courtyard, the layout of which is similar to their home in Songsi Village.

There are three rooms facing north, two side rooms each facing east and west. The kitchen and dining room are also on the south side of the east wing, and there is even a laundry room next to the west wing.

There is a large vat in the center of the courtyard, with various auspicious patterns embossed on the vat. I guess it is usually used to raise lotus and carp.

There are many flower pots placed next to the water tank. It is unknown what was originally planted in the pots, as they have now turned into a pile of dead grass.

Lin Qing looked up at the couplets hanging on both sides of the main house.

The moon is slanting and the poetic dreams are thinning, the wind is blowing away the fragrance of ink flowers.

It's quite interesting.

The three of them sighed as they walked, and after seeing enough, they walked into the house.

The house was just as Gu Dahuai had said. All the furniture was new, complete, and of high quality.

Especially the house in the northeast, it can be seen that it was originally intended for Gu Changqing to use, and its meticulous layout is visible to the naked eye.

The room is divided into two rooms, the outer room is made into a study, and the inner room is a bedroom.

The four treasures of the study are all ready on the table in the outer room, and the bookshelf against the wall is full of books.

Gu Sihe curiously stroked the books on the shelf, took a deep breath of the scent of ink, and said with some envy, "I wonder how happy Big Brother must be to see these. I wish this shelf were filled with picture books!"

Lin Qing smiled and patted him: "Other things are fine, but we have to return the things that belong to Changqing to him."

Although Gu Sihe was a little reluctant, he also knew that what his mother said made sense. "That's right, let's do as you say!"

After tidying up for a while, Gu Sihe touched his empty stomach. Before he could say anything, Lin Qing handed him twenty cents.

"Sihe, do you still remember the location of the noodle stall owner? Go buy three bowls of noodles and come back..."

Before she could finish, Gu Sihe rushed out the door like a gust of wind. Lin Qing hurriedly reminded him, "Remember to put poached eggs in your two bowls!"

Seeing Gu Sihe disappear, Lin Qing pulled Lin Yuanxin to sit on the chair and said softly,

"It's just the two of us now. If you have something to say or want to cry, just let it out. Don't hold it in and hurt yourself."

Lin Yuanxin's eyes instantly turned red. After holding back his tears, he raised his head and said with a sob, "No, Aunt Lin. I know crying is useless. Not only will it not save my sister, it will also make you worry."

Seeing how sensible she was, Lin Qing felt a sudden pang of bitterness in her heart, and tears almost burst out.

He stretched out his hands and held her thin body in his arms, and said firmly: "Xiao Xin, I promise you, no matter how difficult it is, I will do everything I can to rescue your sister."

Lin Yuanxin felt the warmth from Lin Qing, a warmth he had never felt from his mother. Thinking back to how good he had been to him over the past few days, his defenses instantly collapsed. Tears streamed down his face, and he sobbed,

"Aunt Lin, am I really heartless? You've already saved my life, but I'm still not satisfied. I want you to help me rescue my sister...

"We haven't been to the Jia Mansion, but we know it's not a good place just from what we've heard. So many people died there, I'm really worried that my sister will...

"No wonder mother said I was a jinx. If I weren't there, if I had just accepted my fate, she wouldn't have been treated so badly..."

Lin Qing listened quietly to her illogical outburst. He wanted to comfort her but suddenly he was at a loss for words.

She wanted to say that the one who was wrong was the Jia family, the world where the powerful oppressed people, not her, not the desire of ordinary people to struggle for survival.

But saying these things not only has no effect, but is also superficial nonsense.

[Ding, the hidden side quest Twin Flowers has been opened. Quest difficulty: ★★★★. Completing the quest will reward you with 1 Jizhou Mansion.]

Lin Qing hadn't heard the system sound for a long time, and she was startled when it suddenly rang.

She was also a little confused about the content of the reward.

Didn’t the last ‘return to the capital in glory’ reward a residence in the capital? How come it was suddenly downgraded to Jizhou?

Could it be that this incident will cause a big commotion, and then their family will have to flee to Jizhou?

But shouldn't we flee to a more remote and desolate place? It doesn't make sense to go to Jizhou instead...

Lin Qing was lost in thought when she was brought back to her senses by Lin Yuanxin's crying. Suddenly, she thought of the man who had successfully broken off the engagement, and a plan came to her mind.

"Everything I say now sounds like empty promises, but as the saying goes, two cobblers can make a Zhuge Liang. What's more, the one who successfully broke off the engagement is in Songsi Village. Let's go to his house to learn from his experience. Maybe we can get some inspiration."

"You have to believe that as a family, we can overcome any difficulties!"

Although Lin Yuanxin didn't know who the 'Zhuge Liang' she was talking about was, after hearing her few words, his panicked mood calmed down.

She believed that what Aunt Lin said about there being a way must be true!

But she remembered that Shopkeeper Qian had just said that the girl's engagement was broken off because she had lost her virginity, so she couldn't use this method...

Just at this moment, the two heard the sound of Gu Sihe grunting in the yard.

"Mom, Sister Xiaoxin, come out and help!"

The two hurried out the door, only to see Gu Sihe walking in with difficulty carrying a lunch box.

Lin Qing hurriedly took the heavy wooden box and suddenly realized that she was so busy comforting Lin Yuanxin that she forgot that there was no packing bag at this time.

With the current level of technology, there is definitely no way to make plastic bags, so what can be used as a substitute?

Urine bubble?

Hmm, that seems a bit disgusting.

pumpkin?

It seems that it can only hold specific foods such as fried rice.

Forget it, I'll just think about it slowly after I get home...

After finishing their meal, they rested for a while, returned their lunch boxes, and rushed to the station, just in time to catch the first train in the afternoon.

The sun was blazing. Lin Qing took out the fabric given by the cloth shop owner and had the two children wrap it around their heads. Licking his dry lips, he thought to himself, "I still need to make a few portable cups. I can also try some sunscreen..."

Just as he was daydreaming, the car bumped violently, and Lin Qing suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of tension in his heart.

The closer he got to his home, the more nervous Lin Qing became.

Gu Sihe suddenly grabbed the corner of her clothes and whispered, "Mom, there's a strange man squatting in the bushes over there. He doesn't look like he's from our village, and he seems to be peeking in the direction of our house!"

Lin Qing suddenly thought of the sentence 'You are not here to take a shit, are you?', but when he really saw the man's sneaky look, Lin Qing instantly became alert.

Her intuition told her that this person must have bad intentions!

But I am in the open and the enemy is in the dark, so she can't alert them.

Gu Sihe was about to step forward to question him, but was held back by Lin Qing.

"Shh, let's pretend we didn't see him, but we must be vigilant. Shihe, when you go back, tell your other brothers to be careful."

"it is good!"
