Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Prime Minister Mu and Zhenying had no idea that the vegetables they had just picked would appear out of thin air in Cheng Yunmo's room, in a bamboo basket that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

Cheng Yunmo looked at herself in disbelief at the bamboo basket on her back; she simply couldn't control her actions.

Physician Zhang was already having trouble sleeping. He stood at the door, gazing into the courtyard, lost in thought.

Then they saw a dark figure, which looked just like Lord Cheng. But who knew where Lord Cheng was going as dawn was approaching?

"Master Cheng?"

Physician Zhang called out with some doubt.

When Cheng Yunmo heard the sound, she immediately turned around and looked at Physician Zhang. With a half-crying expression, she was carrying a bamboo basket on her back.

To the astonishment of Physician Zhang, it was discovered that Lord Cheng's feet were not touching the ground at all, as if he were about to float away at any moment.

Instinctively, Physician Zhang rushed over and tried to grab the bamboo basket, not wanting Lord Cheng to fly out so suddenly.

However, just as Zhang Taiyi grabbed the bamboo basket, the two of them ran away in a flash.

Physician Zhang, “…”

If he hadn't been certain he didn't have a sleepwalking habit, he would have truly believed he was sleepwalking.

"Lord Cheng, please stop using your supernatural powers, I'm afraid."

This was the first time that Physician Zhang, who was quite old, had encountered such an absurd situation. He was afraid that if the basket on his back wasn't sturdy, it would throw him to the ground.

Cheng Yunmo knew perfectly well that Physician Zhang was afraid, but there was nothing she could do about it.

The places the two passed through became increasingly familiar to Physician Zhang.

He was initially scared, but now that he's in his hometown, he's completely stunned.

Upon arriving at the village entrance, Cheng Yunmo noticed that his feet touched the ground directly.

"Lord Cheng, this is my village, and my wife and children are here."

Physician Zhang looked around in disbelief, then quickly said to Lord Cheng.

Cheng Yunmo was genuinely surprised, but at this moment he also realized that this was probably the system's doing.

Physician Zhang consciously headed in one direction, and Cheng Yunmo followed.

They arrived at the door of a house, but the door was locked, and from inside the yard came the sound of weeping.

"Wow~ Mommy, I'm so hungry! Why can everyone else go buy food, but I can't?"

“Child, don’t cry. This is the Zhang family’s ancestral rule, and everyone must listen to it.”

Physician Zhang was completely confused and went up to knock on the door.

Cheng Yunmo followed behind, feeling very puzzled.

"Who?"

Inside the door, someone asked in a low voice, but did not open the door immediately.

Physician Zhang frowned; it was his son's voice.

"it's me."

Doctor Zhang's son opened the door in disbelief and immediately saw his father standing at the door.

"Father!"

When the little child came out, his eyes were red and his nose was running.

Cheng Yunmo looked down at the child, who was holding her arm and just looking at her.

"hug."

Cheng Yunmo couldn't help but laugh and immediately picked up the baby.

Suddenly, a bowl of beef noodles appeared in the virtual panel.

Cheng Yunmo was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the child. It seemed that the system really liked this child.

The two were invited to a home where the entire family looked extremely poor. Although their clothes had no patches, it was clear that they were struggling financially.

Doctor Zhang could tell at a glance that they were weak and listless from hunger. He wondered what was wrong with his wife, since he had sent someone to collect the money every month.

"Where's your mother?"

Physician Zhang's son glanced at Lord Cheng with obvious embarrassment before looking at his father and stammering, "Mother is sick and has been talking nonsense."

Cheng Yunmo put down the bamboo basket he was carrying. "Wait, I have a bowl of beef noodles here."

When Physician Zhang's son heard that it was beef noodles, he looked at Lord Cheng with a strange expression, because beef was not something that could be served at the dinner table.

"These were given by Lord Cheng; you may eat them."

Physician Zhang said.

A look of surprise immediately flashed in the eyes of everyone present.

Physician Zhang went to see the patient, while the rest of the people waited.

Cheng Yunmo took out a large bowl of beef noodles, steaming hot, and placed it in front of the child.

The child's eyes sparkled as he pulled a jade pendant with a red string tied to it directly from his pocket.

The child carefully ran up to her and said, "The old lady in my dream said that if a lady gives me beef noodles, I should give this to her."

Cheng Yunmo unconsciously lowered his head and put on the jade pendant.

As soon as the jade pendant was put around my neck, I felt as if there was the breath of a living person inside.

This jade pendant…

The child wasn't particularly interested in the jade pendant, but rather looked at the basket on the back. "Sister, is this also for us?"

Cheng Yunmo nodded quickly and saw the others. They all looked at the baskets with surprise and hurried to get food. They were all starving and cooked a pot of vegetable soup.

The child's mother first served Cheng Yunmo a bowl containing vegetables and some beef noodles, saying, "My benefactor, please eat quickly."

Cheng Yunmo looked at everyone, and they insisted that he eat first.

"it is good."

After everyone had eaten quite a bit, they sat down to chat.

Cheng Yunmo looked at everyone with some curiosity, "When I came in from the village entrance, I saw that every household seemed to be without food or drink. How come your family is the only one without any food now?"

The child's mother hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.

"It's the elderly and children in the family. For some reason, they insist that it's an ancestral rule that they can't eat the grain distributed by the Empress Dowager and the Empress. If they do, their family will suffer a catastrophic disaster."

At this moment, Physician Zhang also came out of the room.

Cheng Yunmo noticed that everyone's eyes were on him, and that Physician Zhang looked preoccupied, which meant that the old lady must have said something to him inside the room.

“My benefactor, I’m so glad you came to my house today. I now know that all the imperial physicians who worked with me back then died tragically because they came into contact with the grain given to them by the Empress Dowager.”

Cheng Yunmo was stunned. The Empress Dowager was only distributing grain, which would only cause natural disasters. Could there be other methods?

Physician Zhang's eyes were filled with sorrow. "Lord Cheng, are you wondering why the Empress Dowager did this?"

Cheng Yunmo nodded, indeed completely bewildered.

“Alas, my mother knows more now, but she has been bedridden these days and lacks food. Once she has recovered, I will let her tell you herself.”

Physician Zhang looked at the sky outside; it was dawn.
