After the system ran, I took off with my family
Chapter 13 Mysterious Leaves
Lin Shuyue looked at her family, held her forehead and sighed, "Come one by one, there is only one toilet."
Everyone calmed down after hearing her words.
Mrs. Li let the three children drink first, and they took turns from oldest to youngest, and she was the last one.
After making the arrangements, she asked Lin An to help boil water. The children were still young and could not take cold showers like Lin An.
An hour later, the family of five squeezed into Lin An and Li's room, feeling refreshed.
Everyone looked at Li. The few scattered white hairs on Li's head were gone, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were gone. Her originally rough and dark yellow face and hands were now much whiter and more delicate, and her temperament was gentle. If she changed into a brocade skirt, people would believe that she was the lady of a wealthy family.
"Mom, you are so beautiful, like a fairy from heaven. Dad is stunned by your gaze."
Lin Shuyue winked at Li and Lin An. Lin An, who was standing next to her, blushed slightly when he heard his daughter's teasing.
Li became angry and pretended to hit the naughty little girl. Lin Shuyue smiled and hid behind her elder and second brothers.
"Ahem...Okay, let's discuss business."
Lin An's expression became somewhat serious. Lin Shuyue and the others hurriedly sat down and listened to their parents talking.
"Our family has changed so much that if we go out, others will definitely be suspicious, and we can't tell anyone about the ginseng.
"It is a crime to possess a treasure. We are just ordinary farmers. Holding such a treasure is like a child holding gold in a busy city..." Lin An was worried.
Li pondered for a moment and said, "I know there is a kind of grass whose juice will turn the skin dark yellow when applied to it, and can be washed off with water afterwards. We can use this grass juice to temporarily cover up our skin color, but this is not a long-term solution."
Lin Shuyue looked at her family and said, "We are not afraid of changes in our appearance. We can temporarily use the grass juice that mother mentioned to cover it up. As long as it is not too obvious, others will not suspect anything even if they notice the changes."
"Everyone in the village knows that Dad has gone hunting in the mountains these days. It just so happens that Dad and my eldest brother hunted two deer today and will send them to Yue'an Restaurant in town tomorrow morning.
Two deer can be sold for at least 70 or 80 taels, which is the income that everyone can see.
We can use the money to buy this house from the village, hire someone to renovate it, and buy a few acres of land. Then the villagers will think that we have spent all the money, and they will not worry about it anymore and will just think that we are lucky.
"Step by step, life gets better and people get younger. Isn't this a normal thing?"
After that, she pointed to the ginseng on the table and said, “Let’s keep this 500-year-old ginseng for ourselves. It can save our lives at a critical moment.
My suggestion is to take this hundred-year-old ginseng to the county town to sell it. Our family really doesn't have much savings. We have to spend money to buy food this year, and we also have to buy a bow and arrow for my eldest brother.
Also, my second brother wants to start a business, so we can go to the county town and buy a shop. If he hasn’t decided what kind of business to start, we can rent it out to others and collect some rent.”
After hearing what Lin Shuyue said, the other members of the Lin family agreed with her. Lin An knocked on the table and made the final decision: "Just do as Xiaoya said, but we must not tell anyone that our family has a 500-year-old ginseng. No matter who it is, you can't tell anyone, otherwise it will cause trouble. Is that clear?"
No wonder Lin An is so cautious. A five hundred year old ginseng is priceless.
I heard that on the Emperor's birthday two years ago, the richest man in Lin'an presented a ginseng that was nearly five hundred years old. The emperor was very pleased and directly awarded the richest man a fourth-rank official position.
The imperial court had regulations that scholars could not engage in business, and merchants for three generations could not take the imperial examinations. This shows how precious this 500-year-old ginseng is.
The Lin family members all knew the seriousness of the matter and had no objection to Lin An's words.
It was already late, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Lin Shuyan returned to the room, still feeling a little excited, and kept talking in Lin Shuyuan's ear. Lin Shuyuan didn't find it annoying and responded to his brother from time to time.
Lin Shuyue was very calm. She returned to her room, lay on the bed and talked to Xiao Tangyuan: "Xiao Tangyuan, the matter of the marrow cleansing pill is finally settled. I am a little tired after all the trouble. Alas..."
The little Tangyuan's tail swayed, and he looked lazy: "Host, today is the third day of the traversal system test. The host has only signed in seven times in three days. Please sign in actively."
"Okay, I get it, but you didn't find any sign-in location, did you?
I have no excuse to go to the remaining sign-in locations in town yesterday. That Yixiang Pavilion, if I go there, my father will break my legs. "
"Ah, I forgot to check the things I signed in at the cemetery this afternoon, so I said I seemed to have forgotten something..."
Lin Shuyue suddenly sat up and took out the things in a hurry.
When she just signed in the things in the afternoon, she felt inexplicably depressed and had no mood to look at these things, and then she forgot about them.
She picked up the Liuguang Sword and looked at it carefully. The scabbard was made of leather and was very thick.
There are mysterious runes carved on the hilt, and the tentacles hold the hilt gently.
With a gentle pull, the sword slid out of the sheath, making a crisp sound.
The sword was two feet and one inch long, with a silver-white blade covered with cloud patterns, exuding a chill.
Lin Shuyue couldn't let go of the Liuguang Sword: "Little Tangyuan, I have a sword now. I can practice swordsmanship now."
After playing with the Flowing Light Sword for a while, she looked at the martial arts secret book over there, "Is this secret book called a martial arts secret book? There is no name?"
Lin Shuyue opened it and read it carefully, and found that this was indeed a top-level martial arts method, very suitable for men to practice. She was extremely satisfied, but she felt nauseous when she thought about finding another reason to let her father and others practice this martial arts method.
As for the other two things, she knew the lightning-attracting talisman. She had given it to Lin Jinbao in the afternoon and it had a very good effect. She had to keep it well.
Lin Shuyue picked up a leaf. It looked exactly like a real leaf, but she couldn't tell what material it was made of.
She asked the system in confusion: "Little Tangyuan, what is this? What is it for?"
"Host, the origin of this leaf is very mysterious. The system does not have a detailed record. Please handle it yourself."
Lin Shuyue rolled her eyes, picked up the leaf and examined it carefully, "How do I use it? How about dripping blood on it and trying it?"
Thinking of this, she immediately took out the embroidery needle, quickly pricked her finger, squeezed out a drop of blood and dripped it onto the leaf. After a while, the leaf did not move at all, and the drop of blood was not absorbed.
"Who the hell are you? You can't tell anything from this."
Lin Shuyue lay on the bed and lifted up the leaf to look at it.
After looking at it for a while, she felt a little tired. She put the leaf on her forehead listlessly, spread her hands, and closed her eyes: "Forget it, maybe it's just an ordinary leaf. Go to sleep. I have to go to town with Dad tomorrow."
Late at night, Lin Shuyue had a dream.
In the dream, the scorching sun was baking the earth, and the grass and trees were gradually turning yellow.
For several months, there was no rain, and the ground was cracked into hideous gaps. The small river in Yunhua Village also dried up, revealing the riverbed.
She saw the village chief leading hundreds of villagers, carrying their bags and marching out of Yunhua Village, embarking on the road of escaping famine.
We also saw Grandma Xiuyin in the crowd holding a newborn baby, sitting on a cart, looking back at Yunhua Village where her ancestors had lived for generations, her eyes filled with tears.
The scene changes, and in Anqing and Anyang prefectures, the land is barren and starving people are everywhere. The people are exchanging their children for food...
Old men hanging from dead trees with their belts can be seen everywhere on the road...
