Traveling Through Farmhouses: Taking the Baby on a Famine Escape

Along the way, Zhang Xixi looked at the fields without even a blade of grass, her heart heavy. This system had really screwed her over!

System: "Host, don't be too pessimistic! The difficulties ahead can still be overcome."

"How to deal with it?"

System: "Host, as long as you complete the mission and gain luck points, these natural disasters and man-made calamities are nothing to worry about."

I don't believe you for a second; you're a system that talks nonsense without even thinking.

What are the tasks now?

System: "The current main task is to get rich, which will also trigger sign-in tasks."

Get rich! This family has nothing, how can we get rich? By farming?

System: "Yes, it's farming!"

Zhang Xixi had initially held onto hope, but she never expected the system to be so unreliable. She looked at the fields that had already cracked.

"System, are you kidding me?! Can you even farm here?"

There's no water to drink, so how can we farm?

"Do you have any plants that can grow without water?!"

The system, feeling guilty, replied, "No."

"Then what use are you?"

System: "Host, you can do daily check-in tasks! You can check in whenever you encounter rare and precious treasures!"

Zhang Xixi: "..." There are no ordinary grass roots, yet it has the wild idea of ​​rare treasures. Is this system out of its mind?

Seeing that the host didn't speak, the system scanned its surroundings and also fell silent.

"Sister-in-law, you're awake!"

Zhang Xixi looked at the person who had called out to her. He had a decent appearance, a simple smile on his face, and was a little taller than her. He was carrying a large bucket of water in each of his hands.

Who was this person again? She tried hard to remember. Oh! It was her brother-in-law, whom she hadn't seen since waking up. So he had come to fetch water early in the morning. Children from poor families really do learn to be independent early!

But isn't he only 12 years old? How come he's already so tall and looks very strong?

"Ding! Rare and exotic herbs detected. Host, would you like to sign in?"

Zhang Xixi looked around, but where were all the rare and exotic herbs? This damn system isn't kidding me, is it?!

The system alerted: "Rare and exotic herbs are on this kid."

Zhang Xixi's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at Zhou Yujie, "System, where is it, where is it?"

The system was too embarrassed to look at its host's current expression, but it still reminded him, "Inside his stomach."

Zhou Yujie felt a chill run down his spine. The way his sister-in-law looked at him was as if she wanted to strip him naked. Could she be possessed by a ghost?

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I was just looking around!" Zhang Xixi saw the terrified look in Zhou Yujie's eyes and quickly looked away, laughing it off. Then she asked herself in her mind, "System, what does this mean?"

"It's because your brother-in-law ate a rare and exotic herb, which wasn't fully digested and remained in his stomach, and this system detected it."

Is it harmful to his health?

"No, it will only strengthen his body!"

So that's how it is. I didn't expect that this brother-in-law, who looks a bit simple-minded, would be so lucky!

"Yujie, you should go back and eat! I'm going to my cousin's house."

Seeing that his sister-in-law had returned to normal, Zhou Yujie didn't think much of it and carried the bucket forward.

"Host, you haven't checked in yet! Hurry up and get more than 5 meters away, or you'll be out of bounds."

"Sign in"

"Ding! Sign-in successful! Reward: 500 Luck Points. In view of this being the host's first sign-in, an additional 100 jin of sweet potatoes are awarded, which have been placed in the built-in storage space!"

"Having a storage space is nice, but what can you do with only 500 luck points?"

System: "Luck points can not only bring you good fortune, but also allow you to buy things from the shop."

"Where is the online store?!"

System: "The shop will be unlocked when your luck value reaches 1000."

Zhang Xixi rolled her eyes. This was practically meaningless. Where else could I possibly find rare treasures? Surely I wouldn't be lucky enough to run into someone who hadn't digested any rare herbs yet!

Zhang Xixi decided to break off contact with the system for a while, and then strode over to her cousin's house.

She stopped in front of a house with blue bricks and tiles, looked it over, and thought, "This must be it!"

Zhang Xixi glanced at the courtyard and saw many people standing there; this must be the family. She recognized some of them, but there were so many that she couldn't recall their names at the moment.

When Zhou Dashan's wife, Wang, saw her at the door, she happily walked over and took her hand.

"Sister-in-law, you're finally awake! How are you feeling?"

Zhang Xixi looked at the old woman in front of her, her lips twitching. Her cheap husband's seniority was truly impressive! She was older than her mother, and yet she called her "sister-in-law." "It's alright!"

"It's alright now, come in quickly."

The people in the courtyard greeted Zhang Xixi as she entered.

"Third Aunt, you're here!"

"Third Aunt, you're awake! How are you feeling?"

Third Aunt

Zhang Xixi replied to each of them, "It's all done, nothing's wrong!" In ancient times, it's really an advantage to have a high seniority! See, even if you don't remember someone, they will still greet you, avoiding a lot of awkwardness.

But an old woman standing next to her, who looked sharp-tongued and mean, glared at her and said, "This jinx still has the nerve to go out! I wonder why God doesn't take her away. She's a scourge that lives on for a thousand years!"

Wang scolded, "Stone's mother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm talking nonsense! She's not a jinx who brings bad luck to her husband and in-laws!"

People around were also talking about it. Zhang Xixi looked around and then looked at Wang Shi, asking in confusion, "Are they talking about me? Did I offend her?"

Looking into Zhang Xixi's clear eyes, Wang thought, "You stole her niece's good match, and your elder brother rejected her daughter. You've offended her, haven't you?" Although she thought this, she still comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to what that old woman is saying. Everyone knows what kind of person you are."

Okay! Seriously, this old lady is really something. Does she think I'm easy to bully because I'm all alone? No way, I just got here, I need to make a name for myself. Zhang Xixi rolled up the sleeves of her clothes and prepared to rush towards the old lady, but was interrupted by a deep voice.

"Old Zhao, do you think our Zhang family has no one left? How dare you bully my daughter?"

Seeing Zhang Dacheng's fierce appearance, Old Zhao dared not speak. His menacing look was truly frightening.

Zhang Xixi also quickly looked at the person who had come in. He was a big, burly man with white hair. His expression immediately softened when he saw her.

"Daughter, are you feeling better?" It turned out to be the original owner's hunter father, who looked quite energetic, but also very old.

"Dad, I'm alright, don't worry!"

Hearing the commotion, Zhou Dashan came out of the house with several clan elders. After greeting Zhang Dacheng and Zhang Xixi, he said loudly, "Now that everyone is here, let's discuss this!"
