Origin System, I have a barren mountain

However, Dou Dou sensibly shook her head and pointed to the positions of her mother and father.

“Dad just told me that if you really want to protect us, you should let us give first, and then we can receive. That way, if bad people outside find you, they will also need to work to earn food.”

What did DouDou's dad say?

Chen Yunmo hesitated. She didn't have much. In fact, she didn't know if the rice that suddenly appeared would ever reappear if it disappeared.

"Um, well, if I asked you to grow rice on barren mountains, would you be willing?"

Chen Yunmo didn't know why he had brought up such a thing, and his expression was somewhat awkward when he mentioned it.

DouDou was actually very happy and nodded excitedly.

"Yes, of course we'd like to."

After DouDou's parents found out what the person they couldn't see wanted them to do, they immediately prepared to set off to plant rice on the barren mountain as Chen Yunmo requested.

Rice cultivation in such a place sounds absurd, but they didn't ask. They just started clearing a section of the barren mountain, filling it with soil and removing stones.

Although Dou Dou was young, he didn't sit idle. Following his father's instructions, he began to pile up the stones he could lift on the prepared land.

Chen Yunmo sent the water out of the space. Although the weather was hot, they were willing to do so as long as there was water.

After DouDou's parents finished preparing the rice paddy, they started building a place next to it where they could rest for the night.

They didn't ask how rice could grow without water.

DouDou and the others rested by the rice paddies at night. When dawn broke, they were astonished to find that the land where the rice paddies had been was now empty. They were all stunned when they saw it.

They watched the tiny seedlings emerge little by little, and most importantly, the water covering them.

The water was right there in their fields, not even a little above the stones. This field was so magical and full of life.

Upon seeing this, they finally realized that not asking was truly a good thing.

DouDou's parents looked at each other in surprise. The land reclamation they had completed as instructed was truly unexpected.

Chen Yunmo took out the last bit of rice from his spatial storage and carefully said to Dou Dou, "This is all the rice we have left."

DouDou was very good and told her parents right away.

Chen Yunmo had expected Dou Dou's parents to be very dissatisfied, but to his surprise, they smiled and said, "Having this piece of land is all we have hope for. If we're careful with our resources, we'll get through this."

A few days later, Chen Yunmo herself was surprised to see the rice that had grown when it was light.

"Wow, food! We have food!"

DouDou's family still served her food according to the old custom.

Chen Yunmo received the food and was holding the white rice when she glanced at the space and saw the rapeseed and some bok choy growing in it. She was so surprised that her mouth dropped open.

Dou Dou was surprised when he saw his sister pull out a handful of green vegetables, and his sister seemed surprised as well.

"Green vegetables, sister, I'll ask Mom to make some for you."

DouDou's mother was also surprised to see the greens. She knew that in this kind of weather, having such a bunch of greens was really precious.

She thought that if only there were salt, the blind girl could eat some food with salt, which would be truly delicious.

DouDou's father seemed to read his wife's mind. He chuckled and said, "It's alright, I'll figure something out. Perfect timing, I can save half a bowl of rice and trade with someone else. Our neighbor has been secretly keeping a handful of salt, reluctant to eat it. He has a baby who's just a month old. We..."

However, we still hope to get the advice of this unseen master on such matters.

Chen Yunmo agreed. She heard that it was a newborn baby, and it sounded like the baby had no food and was very pitiful.

After DouDou's father saw that the expert had agreed, he immediately took the food he had saved, packed his bags, and left.

However, this trip took most of the day.

When DouDou's father returned, he had a woman in her forties on his back. She looked like nothing but skin and bones. DouDou's father was holding a child who looked so thin that it seemed like he was holding a fake.

DouDou's mother was also startled and quickly went over to help.

As soon as the woman saw the shallow water in the rice paddies, she immediately scooped it up and drank it, completely disregarding the soil inside.

Chen Yunmo quickly took out a broken bowl, poured out a bowl of water, and quietly gave it to Dou Dou.

DouDou is a very sensible child, and she quickly took the bowl over.

It took the woman quite a while to recover.

With tears in her eyes, she quickly held the baby and fed him.

The child drank it in big gulps; he must have been very thirsty.

It was only at this moment that Chen Yunmo realized that the woman's clothes did not resemble those of ordinary people.

At this moment, Chen Yunmo realized that Dou Dou and her family seemed to be from a rather unusual background.

Their clothing was also somewhat different.

The woman's tense state eased slightly after watching her child eat a little bit of the porridge.

"You, you still think of me even though you have a way to survive, thank you, I'll give you the salt now."

At this moment, DouDou's father accepted the salt.

“Salt is not as precious as a small bite of food. You are truly my saviors. In these chaotic times, you have not forgotten us.”

At this moment, DouDou's mother quickly took out the hidden greens, blanched them, and then added salt.

She respectfully served Chen Yunmo the dishes, then stepped aside.

At this moment, the woman finally understood why there was water floating in that field.

It seems that it is because of the small shed that has been built now, and I wonder what is inside that is protecting DouDou and his family.

She only survived because of the expert in the shed; otherwise, she would have had no chance of survival.

"DouDou's father carrying me on his back could easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. Have you thought about what to do about the rest?"

The woman knew that having received such kindness, she should at least think of DouDou's family.

DouDou's father now realizes that bringing the woman home was a rash decision, and he's extremely anxious.

“It’s alright. My husband has some people who, although they can’t provide you with food, can certainly help you.”

The woman hesitated, seemingly lost in thought.

"But could you share a little bit of what you're eating?"

Some were kept as seeds, and the rest were prepared for consumption. DouDou's family looked at Chen Yunmo.
