My game even includes ancient times

Young Master Li's sharp and shrill scream pierced the night sky, startling everyone present into taking a step away from him.

Smelling the stench of the corpse so close at hand, Young Master Li's mind went blank. He kept rolling his eyes, trying to faint, but he didn't dare to actually faint. So he could only squint his eyes half-consciously, tears and snot streaming down his face, washing away the dirt that had fallen from the other person's face onto his own.

Li Yuxing's cloudy eyes stared unblinkingly at Li Dashao, his cold, stiff body pressing down on him, his dark mouth scanning up and down his neck like some kind of wild beast poised to pounce.

The overwhelming fear had completely shattered Li Shao's mental defenses. He almost screamed, "It was me! I saw Li Yuxing practicing calligraphy in the study, went in and chased him out. When he came out, I grabbed a paperweight from behind and killed him! I killed him! He deserved to die! Ahhhhh!"

The courtyard was silent, save for the heavy breathing of Young Master Li after his collapse and roar.

Everyone stared at Young Master Li in disbelief, momentarily forgetting even their fear.

Seeing that Li Yuxing's movements had slowed down but not stopped, Master Li wondered if he was still not satisfied. So he tentatively said, "Yuxing, I will send Li Ren to the county government tomorrow and tell the magistrate the whole story. I will not bend the law for personal gain..."

Li Yuxing slowly closed his eyes, stood up straight from Young Master Li, turned around and walked to the side of Steward Zhang, who was still unconscious in the courtyard, and stopped.

Master Li, suddenly struck by inspiration, immediately shouted, "And Steward Zhang, send him to the authorities as well!"

Li Yuxing then slowly walked towards the door, her steps stiff and unsteady, leaving just as she had come.

Watching the dark gray figure covered in mud disappear from sight, the people of the Li family finally breathed a sigh of relief, exchanging bewildered glances.

Everything that happened tonight was too surreal, leaving everyone feeling as if they were trapped in a nightmare and unable to wake up.

Looking at the disheveled young master Li lying on the ground, Master Li sighed heavily: "Carry the young master back to his room, and send him to the county government office together with Steward Zhang first thing tomorrow morning."

Madam Li, who had been standing silently to the side, hurriedly said, "Master, Ren'er's crime doesn't deserve this. Besides, he has already learned his lesson. Why listen to a dead man's words..."

"Shut up if you don't want to die!"

Master Li glared at Madam Li, then, supported by the servant beside him, slowly walked back into the house.

His back was hunched and desolate, and he looked even older than before.

Seeing that the master had left, the others also dispersed, returned to their rooms, closed the doors and windows tightly, and went to sleep trembling with fear.

------

He Yu manipulated Li Yuxing's corpse and caused a huge scene at the Li family's house. He not only beat up Butler Zhang severely, but also gave Young Master Li a good fright. Judging from the situation, they probably had no intention of causing trouble for a few beggars.

He Yu used his two index fingers to control Li Yuxing, carrying his body back to the mass grave.

After hearing Li Dashao's confession, He Yu knew that Li Yuxing was also a person with a tragic fate. She dug the pit as deep as possible, buried the person, and then compacted the soil to prevent wild dogs from digging up and eating his body.

Then the perspective shifts to the woodshed of the Li family mansion.

He Shi was quietly leaning against the door of the woodshed, listening to the sounds outside, while the four beggars huddled together in another corner of the woodshed, trembling, not daring to lift their heads.

He Yu smiled, zoomed in on the image, and untied the knot on He Shi's wrist.

He Shi was clearly taken aback. He looked back at the rope lying on the ground, and seemed to understand something. He clenched his fists excitedly.

He Yu unlatched the latch on the outside of the woodshed and gently pushed it open.

He Shi immediately stood up, limped out of the door, and glanced left and right to see the gate leading to the outside world.

He quickened his pace and jogged over there. As He Shi stepped out of the Li residence gate, the mission notification sounded immediately.

He Yu resisted the urge to check immediately, watching He Shi safely return to his small apartment on North Commercial Street before finally feeling relieved. She first gave him a steamed bun before clicking on the [Task].

Congratulations on completing the "Chasing the Eldest Son of the Li Family" mission!

Congratulations on receiving the following rewards: 30 experience points, 200 copper coins, 1 set of winter clothing, and 1 egg drop soup recipe.

Amidst the ribbons and fireworks, the experience bar in the upper left corner instantly filled up, reaching level three and then surged again, leaving only 25 experience points to reach level four.

He Yu rubbed his hands excitedly and went to the warehouse to check on the harvest.

The [warm clothing] is a complete set of cotton-padded clothes, in a very ordinary light brown color, but it looks very comfortable and warm.

Unsurprisingly, the newly acquired [Egg Drop Soup Recipe] cannot be used to make it yet; the system prompts you to buy eggs from the general store.

It's currently midnight in the game, and the general store isn't open yet. He Yu put down the recipe, exited the [Homestead] section, and checked He Shi's status in the [Character] section. He saw that the [Severe Cold (Healing)] status had changed to [Moderate Cold].

She had noticed before that the task to cure her cold was not completed, but now there was nowhere to buy medicine...

He Yu exited the "Characters" section to visit He Shi.

He Shi had finished eating his cornbread and was sitting on the haystack, rolling up his pants to check the injury on his knee. His expression was somewhat obscured by his disheveled hair.

The game's graphics were very clear. After He Yu zoomed in, the bloody and mangled wound on He Shi's knee was displayed in front of her without any obstruction.

It felt like seeing it face-to-face with my own eyes.

He Yu's eyes darkened. She noticed the abrasions on his wrist again. Several bright red, glaring marks were boldly displayed on his thin wrist, which was practically just bone.

And considering the two kicks from Butler Zhang and Young Master Li, he must have many unseen injuries on his body.

He Shi rolled up his sleeves and gently wiped the dirt off the wound with the cleaner inside of his sleeve.

He had raised his head now, his eyebrows and eyes, which were half-covered, were lowered, and his face was expressionless.

Perhaps he's already used to such injuries.

As He Yu watched him methodically treat the wound, the burn on the back of her left hand began to sting and burn.

She felt she had to do something, but it was the middle of the night, and she couldn't make typhoid medicine or egg drop soup.

He Yu opened the General Store and spent fifteen copper coins to buy Crystal Soft Candy as a gift for He Shi.

Eating sweets can release dopamine, which can alleviate a low mood and perhaps make He Shi feel better.

As He Shi on the screen opened the paper package and picked up a glistening red candy from it, examining it curiously, He Yu suddenly felt that the idea she had just had was a bit ridiculous.

He Shi is a game character. No matter how intelligent or human-like he is, he is still just a string of data. How could he have something like dopamine?

Did she just treat He Shi as a real person...?

In the video, He Shi carefully puts the gummy candy into his mouth, chews it a couple of times, and then his eyes light up as he suddenly looks down at the small paper packet in his hand.

He then nervously looked around. It was quiet all around, and there was no living thing on the street in the middle of the night.

He Shi then opened the paper package, carefully counted the number of candies, picked up a green one and put it in his mouth. Simple and pure joy overflowed in his eyes, like a stray kitten that had just eaten a delicious can of food.

This adorable and heartwarming scene melted He Yu's heart. She decided to raise He Shi like a real child, and to raise him to be chubby, healthy, and full of energy!

After glancing one last time at He Shi, who was searching for a place to hide the paper package, He Yu began to study what new content had been added to the game after he reached level three.
