sjar Chapter 87 System Release Task
Chapter 87 System Release Task
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Wenxi took the pig's trotters and ribs bought when the pork was divided to the well, washed them with warm water, and then took them to the kitchen to stew the radish and pork ribs soup. As for the pig's trotters, they were saved for another day, because the soybeans needed to be soaked for a day before they could be easily cooked. If the soybeans were soaked now, they could be prepared for the soybean and pig's trotter soup at this time tomorrow.
After that, Wen Xi went to the room to rest. Because she had added enough water to the pork ribs pot, it would not dry out if it was simmered over low heat. She also told Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to add some firewood every now and then, so she could rest assured for a while.
After teaching Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui in the evening, Wen Xi said to Zhao Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, go back and tell your father to catch more eels. I will trade with him for 1 cent per pound. Just ask your father to hide the eels behind the trees at the foot of the mountain. When you come to class in the evening, I will give you the money."
"Sister Xiaoxi, how many eels do you want?" Zhao Yuanyuan asked curiously.
"Take as many as you can!" Wen Xi said. If Zhao Zhiping were to dig by himself, he wouldn't be able to dig many eels, so she could still afford the cost.
Zhao Yuanyuan was very surprised after hearing what Wen Xi said, "Sister Xiaoxi, what do you want so many eels for?"
"Isn't the New Year coming soon? I plan to cook some for the New Year's Eve dinner, and then pickle and dry the rest and send it back home. This way, I can have a dish to bring home during the lean period. Don't you think so?" During the lean period, there would be no vegetables to eat, let alone in the city, even in the countryside.
It's just that the countryside is a little better than the city, because there are wild vegetables in the countryside, fish in the water, and there are definitely more things to eat than in the city.
Although Wenxi might not necessarily send it home, it did not stop her from using this excuse to bring back some eels. In the summer, it was very easy to catch eels at night, but in the winter, they needed to be dug in rice fields and ditches, which she was not very good at. But in order to eat eels during the New Year, she could only buy them from Zhao Zhiping.
Just like good things should be kept within the family, she would naturally reserve this opportunity to make money for those who are kind and reliable to her. She would not dare to buy eels from other families in the village. What if this matter was exposed?
"Yuanyuan, remember to tell your father that this matter must not be known to anyone else except us, understand? Otherwise, if someone reports it, your family will also be implicated." Wen Xi reminded.
Zhao Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Sister Xiaoxi, don't worry, I will tell my dad when I get back."
After sending Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui out of the hospital, Wen Xi closed the gate and went back to his room to rest.
The next morning, Wenxi opened the gate and saw bundles of firewood piled up beside the gate. She was very confused. Who had secretly sent them so much firewood?
Jin Changfeng is not in the village at the moment, so this incident definitely was not done by him.
Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun are the kind of people who only want to take advantage without wanting to give in return, so it is even more impossible for them to send them firewood. They are there to be taken care of by others and it is impossible for them to take the initiative to take care of others.
So, who is so kind?
Wen Xi turned back and added another sentence on the note, asking Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to move the firewood to the yard in the morning. He didn't know who sent the firewood, so could it be sent to someone else?
Since others are kind enough to give them firewood, then just use it. If the opponent breaks through the defense and jumps out, wouldn’t that just be a good opportunity to know who set it there?
Wenxi had just climbed the mountain and was about to walk towards the waterfall when the voice of the sign-in system suddenly rang in his mind, "Host, now issuing a task: please follow the planned route to the destination."
Then a blue navigation arrow appeared in Wenxi's mind. Wenxi thought about the fish at the waterfall, hesitated for a moment, and then walked in the direction of the arrow.
The sign-in system has given her so many benefits, and she should indeed do something for the sign-in system. What's more, the tasks issued by the sign-in system are not difficult tasks. Moreover, having this sign-in system will only benefit her and not harm her. In order to make the sign-in system belong to her forever, Wen Xi decided to take on this task.
Wen Xi kept walking forward following the arrow. She didn't expect that the route planned by the system was quite remote. She didn't see any signs of anyone along the way. It seemed that everyone was used to going in those directions when going up the mountain. No wonder no one had discovered the waterfall, and it was discovered by accident by her, who had just arrived in the countryside.
Wen Xi walked in the direction of the arrow, concentrating on observing whether there was any movement around her. After all, she had never been to this direction before and she didn't know it. She was also afraid that she would step into a trap set by others for hunting. There was no one else on the mountain. If something really happened, she would be in trouble.
Although I spent two years in the countryside in my previous life, I spent most of my time working and earning work points, and I really didn’t have time to get to know these mountains well!
This life is different. Because she does not rely on work points to live, she naturally will not waste time going to work. She will apply to cut grass for pigs like other educated youth. In this way, she will have most of the day to go up the mountain to explore the mysteries of the mountain.
I don’t know how long I walked, but I was getting deeper and deeper inside. Although it was still desolate, it gave me a terrifying and eerie feeling.
A cold wind blew, and Wenxi suddenly smelled a bloody smell. Wenxi stopped immediately, then quickly squatted down, trying to hide his body. Then he observed the movements around him with nervousness. After waiting for a while and hearing no movement, Wenxi still didn't dare to take another step forward.
Although there was no news of tigers, wolves, wild boars or other ferocious animals that could hurt people in the mountains here, no one knew what had happened where the fishy smell came from, and Wen Xi did not dare to take it lightly.
But the check-in system doesn’t give any hints. Does that mean there is no danger ahead?
After all, if you die, the sign-in system will have to find a new host and rebind. Isn’t that very troublesome?
Wen Xi finally decided to go and take a look, so he squatted on the ground and slowly moved towards the direction where the smell of blood came from.
Then they came to a forest that had not been trampled on. There was really no trace of trampling at all, but the arrow of the sign-in system was always pointing forward, so Wen Xi had no choice but to bite the bullet and move on.
Because she doesn't know what she will face if the mission fails, she still wants to live well, and wants to have a beautiful and fulfilling life with her little sisters!
