Magician's Live Stocking Daily [Infinite]

Chapter 16: Rescue the Villagers 2

"Who are you?" Li Yang frowned.

"My name is Erya, and I'm the daughter of Carpenter Liu at the east end of Hushan Village." The girl was about seven or eight years old, and her voice was quite loud.

To Li Yang's surprise, when Erya spoke, she received another system prompt:

"Congratulations to the player for triggering the hidden side quest - Rescue Arya. Do you accept it? You will receive a generous reward if you complete the quest."

Hushan Village? Is that the name of the village at the foot of the mountain? Li Yang thought thoughtfully.

So before she could get down the mountain by herself, people from the foot of the mountain came up to find her?

"Are you...a god?" Erya saw that Li Yang ignored her, so she mustered up the courage to continue asking.

In her eyes, Li Yang was wearing a white dress, and her whole body was shining with golden light. Dad always said that there were fairies on this mountain, so she must have met a fairy.

Li Yang looked at the girl who was covered in mud but had shining eyes, and chuckled: "Why are you here?"

Erya was not sad even though she didn't get a reply, because she had already determined that the person in front of her was a god.

She wiped away her tears and said, "I came to the mountain to collect herbs. I want to exchange them for money to pay for my tuition."

"Will picking herbs leave you with injuries?" Li Yang squatted down and touched Erya's head.

The girl had scratches on her arms and legs. When Li Yang got closer, she realized that she was lying down to drink water because of her injured legs.

"I...I accidentally fell and my leg hit a rock." Arya's voice became smaller and smaller.

Li Yang didn't say anything. She lightly tapped her wand, and a golden light covered Arya's body. In the blink of an eye, all her wounds were healed.

Li Yang has also been practicing healing techniques these days. Although she has just started, she has no problem healing ordinary scratches on girls.

Erya felt like she was dreaming. She touched the wound that was originally extremely painful, and now it really didn’t hurt at all!

"Just sleep here for one night, and go home as soon as it gets light." Li Yang stood up, took out some leftover wood from building the house from the space, piled them together, and lit them with matches.

He found another tree to sit under, and pondered the key points of healing in his mind.

She didn't have the bad habit of inviting strangers into her home, even if the other person was just a little girl.

But it was late at night and Arya was still young. It would be bad if she encountered wild animals if she wandered around in the woods alone.

Erya also imitated Li Yang and sat under the tree. Perhaps she was really too tired and fell asleep after a while.

Li Yang glanced at her with a rare gentle expression.

The mountains were dangerous, but she had no reason to blame a girl who was trying to earn money to go to school.

When Erya opened her eyes again, it was already daybreak. Li Yang showed her the way and stuffed two peaches and a piece of bread into her mouth, letting her eat while walking.

After completing the task of rescuing Arya, the system gave a reward of 50 points. Li Yang would not be so reluctant to give even a piece of bread.

After watching the girl walk away, Li Yang was finally able to return to the cabin and have a good sleep.

*

When Li Yang woke up, it was the hottest time of the day, at noon.

She got up quickly, washed up briefly, ate half a loaf of bread left over from last night, and quickly spent 15 survival points to buy a cheap but extra-large piece of cloth.

Spread the cloth on the ground and pour the cut dried fruits on the cloth to dry.

The temperature at noon in summer is good enough, the sun shines on the fruit slices, the excess water evaporates quickly, and the fruit slowly becomes smaller and thinner...

After thinking about it, Li Yang took out the fox skin and mushrooms that were previously stored in the space and dried them together. She didn't want to waste such good sunshine.

Her task today is to pick walnuts.

A good survivor will not miss any opportunity to climb high and see far.

When climbing the chestnut tree yesterday, Li Yang just took a look and was pleasantly surprised to find a walnut forest nearby.

But due to limited time, Li Yang can only do this task today.

Walnuts are also covered with a green skin, have no thorns, but will ooze out juice.

After finding the walnut forest along the marked lines, Li Yang put on tool gloves and used a method similar to picking chestnuts to knock the walnut balls off the trees. Soon, there were walnuts all over the ground under the trees... and three pheasants.

Just as she climbed up the tree, Li Yang was lucky enough to see a few pheasants wandering around the mountain as if nothing had happened.

She raised an eyebrow and drew the bow and arrow she carried with her.

After a few arrows, the pheasants flapped their wings and fled in all directions. Three pheasants lay helplessly on the ground, making miserable cries.

Li Yang jumped down from the tree and did not deal with the pheasant and walnuts immediately, but stuffed them directly into the space.

Soon, all the walnuts on the ground were picked up, and the space that had just been cleared was filled up again.

The discovery of chestnuts and walnuts also gave her a bonus of 20 survival points.

Li Yang found a pattern - every time a new edible tree was discovered, the system would reward 10 survival points.

As for the pheasants, it was only because I had caught two before that the system rewarded me with 6 survival points.

Seeing the space becoming more and more filled with supplies, Li Yang nodded with satisfaction. Today was also a day with a lot of harvests.

So what about dinner tonight?

Li Yang thought of the pheasant that fell into the trap and was tied up by her. Sorry, you will become a dish tonight.

When we returned to the cabin, it was still early, but the dried fruits next to the cabin were almost dried.

I tried a few pears. They weren't as sweet as the flesh, but they were quite good despite being sour and sweet.

When harvesting, the system determined that the dried fruit was a new food and generously awarded 10 survival points.

Li Yang's hand stayed on the dried mushrooms for a long time, but she didn't get the prompt of points +10.

She curled her lips in disappointment: It seems there is no chance to exploit the system bug.

Opening the system mall again, glancing at the lower left corner, the personal points balance: 1560. So Li Yang decisively bought three extra-large sealed boxes of 10 points each, one for each of the two dried fruits and one for each of the mushrooms.

The 30 points I just got were given back before I could even warm up to them.

The evening sunlight is still strong.

Li Yang waited patiently until the sun had completely set before she put away the fox skin and mushrooms and stored them in a sealed box together with the dried fruits.

Li Yang held two large boxes of dried fruits and placed them in a corner of the ventilated table in the kitchen.

The heavy box contained not only food, but also her happy mood.

Seeing the small wooden house gradually filled up, Li Yang finally felt a little safe.

Dinner was the pheasant mushroom soup from last time.

Li Yang boiled a large pot of water, blanched and washed all four pheasants, put three of them into the space for storage, and ate one tonight.

While the soup was stewing, Li Yang sat by the water and processed walnuts and chestnuts.

Wearing gloves, she opened the thorn buds one by one, and then put the brown chestnuts inside into the bamboo basket she had woven earlier.

The same method applies to walnuts. Just peel off the green skin on the outside and take out the gray-skinned walnuts inside.

Li Yang casually picked up two peeled gray walnuts, held them together, and pressed her palms together. The two walnuts collided with a crisp "crackling" sound. She spread her palms and the shell and the flesh separated.

The girl with great strength Li Yang: It’s quite easy to pinch.

After picking up the broken walnut shell and throwing it away, she picked up a piece of walnut meat and put it into her mouth.

Walnuts taste a little bitter when you first eat them, but they become more fragrant the more you chew them.

After eating two in one go, Li Yang put the remaining walnuts into a small basin in several batches, scooped some pond water to rinse off the remaining epidermal mucus on the surface of the walnuts, and then poured the walnuts back into the basket.

The chicken soup on the side continued to emit an enticing aroma.

After putting the processed nuts and the basket back into the wooden house, Li Yang was finally able to sit down and have a hearty meal.

The campfire and delicious food provided a moment of relaxation after a busy day.

Before going to sleep, Li Yang simply practiced magic for a while. She had already become very proficient in light blades and light shields. Her focus now was on healing magic.

Speaking of healing skills, Li Yang couldn't help but think of the little girl she rescued last night.

"I forgot to ask Erya about the situation down the mountain." She felt a little regretful, but judging from the little girl's appearance, the situation down the mountain might not be much better.

While washing walnuts at night, Li Yang looked for the mark she had left by the pond last time. She noticed that the pond had shrunk significantly as the temperature rose.

I wonder what the scene is like down the mountain with lack of water and food.

At this time, there was indeed a commotion in Hushan Village, which Li Yang was concerned about.
