“Ding! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. There is a life that needs to be rescued within a hundred meters ahead. The host has a time-limited mission, please complete it as soon as possible!”

"Got it! Stop biting me! I'll go find the target person right now!"

It’s so early in the morning, and 24 hours haven’t even arrived yet, why are you rushing me?

After the small hill, there is a small bamboo forest. In fact, it is also a slope, but it is covered with bamboos.

Li Changle and the other two walked up the slope. Yu'er had short legs and almost slipped.

Li Changle picked up the little girl and continued walking.

"Aunt, are you looking for that weird old lady?" Li Shixi could see that she was not going directly to the village.

Li Changle: "Well, I went to the county the day before yesterday and met someone. She asked my aunt to help her visit that...mother-in-law."

Excuses really come easily.

It turns out that this is Li Changle!

"Oh...Auntie, look, that's the one living in that room."

When they turned a small bend on the slope, Li Shixi paused and pointed ahead to remind Li Changle.

She saw it.

Everything was bleak and covered with snow. The bamboo forest was particularly quiet, with only the crackling sounds of the three people's feet stepping on the snow.

There is a lonely little house in the bamboo forest. Looking from the front of the house, you can see Green Water Village below.

Li Changle's curiosity suddenly grew wildly.

This "strange old woman" should be a character with a story, right?

She lives alone in this "cold and aloof place" and no one comes to visit her. Where are her relatives?

Li Changle put the fish down and held hands instead, and the three of them slowly approached the bamboo house.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

The fence of the yard was sloppily built and tilted as if it would fall down at any time. The wooden door was standing upright but was half-open.

Li Changle shouted twice, but no one responded.

"Isn't the person already dead? Isn't there a 48-hour deadline?"

System: "Host, please do not doubt the accuracy of the system message. The target person still has signs of life and has a strong desire to survive."

Well, in that case, she had no choice but to...

He broke into a private residence and came uninvited.

She gently pushed the door open, and the wooden door suddenly creaked, startling the three of them.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" She gathered the two children behind her.

She was clearly here to save people, but she acted like she was here to die.

The yard was very narrow, and only a few steps led to the eaves of the main house. However, no one shoveled the snow in the yard, so a thick layer of snow had formed.

Fortunately, my mid-calf socks are thick enough, otherwise my toes would have been frozen. When I stepped into the snow, it didn’t even reach my ankles.

It was really cold in the forest. Li Changle's teeth were chattering as he walked on the snow.

In contrast, the two children were very calm. Is this the difference between indigenous people and non-indigenous people?

She stamped her feet under the eaves, raised her hand and knocked on the main door again, but the door was not closed tightly and it opened automatically a crack when she knocked.

Li Changle leaned over to look through the crack in the door, but didn't see anyone, so he opened it for you.

There was only a set of old, blackened wooden tables and chairs in the middle of the main room. There was an oil lamp on the table, but the oil bowl was all dry.

She saw that there didn't seem to be any oil lamps last night. Although the room was small, it was as deserted as her Li family's courtyard.

"No one?" No one came to answer.

"Aunt, look there..." Li Shixi called her softly, pulling her sleeve.

Li Changle followed his gaze.

There is a wing room on the right side of the main house. It is a little dark in the room at this time, and the situation inside cannot be seen from outside.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from the side room.

"Ah...ah..." He spoke with obvious urgency, but unfortunately he didn't have enough strength, so no one outside the courtyard gate could hear him.

Li Shixi and Yu'er immediately jumped behind her.

"Aunt, are you blaming your mother-in-law?" Li Shixi asked.

"It should be. You and Yu'er stay here, and I'll go take a look."

Li Changle left the child in the main room, not knowing what was going on inside and fearing that the child would be frightened.

She entered the room carrying a bamboo basket.

It was already daybreak, but because the windows were closed, the light from the main house could not enter the wing rooms, so the lighting in the house was very poor.

An extremely unpleasant smell filled her nostrils and she almost vomited on the spot.

"Ah...ah..."

The voice was made urgently as if it saw hope for life.

Li Changle calmed his scattered mind, "Oh my god, this smell almost sent me away!"

Whose unfilial descendants are these, allowing their old man to be so dirty?

System: "The host may have some misunderstanding about the four words 'lonely old man'."

Li Changle rolled his eyes and ignored it. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, folded it into strips, and tied it on as a mask.

Her eyes adjusted to the light in the room, and after searching around, she saw someone on a wooden bed at the back.

A pair of tearful eyes were staring at Li Changle. She was lying on her back on the bed, looking disheveled and emitting an unpleasant odor.

When Li Changle saw this, the first thought that came to her mind was: If the contribution points given by the system this time are not satisfactory, then I will quit next time!

Instead of going any further, she ran out, put the bamboo basket on the table, and went to the kitchen.

Fortunately, there was half a tank of water in the water tank, a pot and firewood. He filled the pot with water, found a fire starter by the window, and lit a fire in the stove.

Thinking about the person and the bed in the room, she had to open the system mall again and spend 3 contribution points to buy a pair of gloves.

She asked Li Shixi and the other man, who were leading Yu'er over, to watch the fire in the stove, and she went into the side room with the backpack and broom from the yard.

The person on the bed should not be an old woman yet, at least she looks much younger than an old woman. However, there is a scar on the right side of her face, running down from her upper and lower lips to her chin. It can be seen that it is not caused recently, and the scar is no longer the color of the newly grown flesh.

Her face was pale and her eyes were clear. If it weren't for the white hair on her head, she would look to be in her forties or fifties at most, not even an old woman.

That scar looks a little more hideous.

Li Changle stood in front of the bed with gloves on and a conflicted look on his face.

"Auntie, do you mind if I call you auntie? Can you hear me when I talk to you?"

Unexpectedly no response.

"Then how about this, I ask you questions and you answer them. If you agree, you blink. If you disagree, don't blink. Okay?"

Now he blinked.

"Well, I have to clean you up now, do you mind?"

It's better to ask. If she minds, she won't earn the contribution points. At most, I can help her find Muramasa and find a suitable person to do this.

But the other person blinked.

He sighed slightly in disappointment, "Well, are you injured?"

blink.

"Can you sit up?"

blink.

"Then sit up later and I'll help you clean it. There's water boiling in the pot, it will be ready soon."

blink.

"Then let me take care of your body first, uh..."

She blinked before she finished her words.

Li Changle resigned herself to her fate and started working. She searched the house and finally found some spare clothes and bed sheets in a wooden cabinet.

It seems that she is not a sloppy aunt in normal times.

It took a lot of effort and moving around to finally pull the dirty bedding off the bed and throw it aside.

Then she fetched some hot water, helped the man lean against the bed rail, and began to wash his face and body, quickly changing his clothes. In order to remove the odor, she secretly poured some shower gel into the bucket in the main room when she came into the house with the bucket.

When it came time to wash his lower body, Li Changle prepared himself mentally for a long time.

"Auntie, I have never served my own parents like this! I am such an unfilial daughter."

Subconsciously, she was talking about her parents, but the person on the bed heard it as her original body's biological parents, his eyes softened, and he followed her face.

"However, I'd better not have this kind of filial piety. I'm paralyzed and my old age will be miserable. It's better to be healthy." Li Changle comforted himself.

After the first bucket of water was poured out, I replaced it with two buckets of hot water and wiped her again. When the smell on her body was almost gone, I took her hair apart and washed it. I also changed the bedding to clean ones.

Li Changle finally finished her work. The brazier beside the bed was burning with a small fire. She put the pot of porridge she brought with her into the brazier to heat it up.

"Can you drink the porridge yourself? Or should I feed you?"

blink.

Li Changle breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she could drink by herself. Otherwise, it would be troublesome for her to be fed three meals a day.
