Yu Jiao returned home with the little duck seal worth more than three million yuan, and placed it carefully in the only small cabinet beside her bed.

But then I felt uneasy again, so I took it out and put it under my pillow.

System: […Will it be safer under the pillow? Do you humans have a concept of an absolutely safe area?]

Why do you put everything under your pillow? Don’t you feel uncomfortable?

Besides...

[The Yu family has become one of the new rich in Haicheng. Although more than three million is not a small amount, it is not too much for the Yu family, right? ]

[The Yu family is the Yu family, and I am me. ]

Yu Jiao retorted. After a thrilling day, she yawned as soon as she got home. The courtyard had not been repaired yet, and the seal had to wait for the auction the system mentioned. She fell asleep while sitting in a rocking chair that was older than her.

What woke her up was a thunderclap.

The all-cleansing white light penetrated the thin eyelids, followed by an earth-shaking rumble.

Yu Jiao wiped the rain that splashed in from the window and suddenly felt a little uneasy: [System? It's raining so hard, where is my courtyard? Will anything happen? ]

【%¥@*What is this……】

The system's childish mechanical voice was vague, as if it had just woken up: [I am a black technology, don't even think about raining, even meteors will fall——]

The mechanical sound stopped abruptly, replaced by a buzzing sound coming from the head.

Yu Jiao covered her ears in pain, her whole face wrinkled, and she felt like she was going to have a heart attack and die again in the next second.

[[Limited time! Save the mushrooms!] Rainstorm mushrooms appear in the mountains. Please pick them in time to upgrade the courtyard, otherwise all experience and rewards will be taken away. Limited time: 00:59:59]

The system seemed to have changed. The sound became mechanical and the usual system characteristics were completely gone.

The buzzing sound disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed. Yu Jiao wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and saw that not even a minute had passed on the phone. However, she felt like she had spent a long, long time in the brain-shattering tinnitus.

[Host, hurry up! The limited-time mission was issued by the main system, and I don’t have the authority to cancel it! ]

[You are truly the worst system I have ever led...]

Yu Jiao quickly found her raincoat and boots, and while arming herself she did not forget to mock the system. The system was not to be outdone, and shouted that it was system number 778 and that it was normal for it to have low authority.

The system sneered: [There is only one system in a world, you can't lead other systems! ]

Yu Jiao: “…”

After rushing, fortunately the Yu family’s old house was not far from the foot of the mountain. With twenty minutes left in the countdown, Yu Jiao finally climbed to the vicinity of the mission location.

I don’t know how long this rain had been brewing, but the rainwater from the top of the mountain flowed down and almost formed a waterfall.

In the darkness, Yu Jiao could only rely on a small headlamp to grope in the rain to find the mission items. The panicked girl encouraged herself, not realizing how well the heavy rain and the loose soil on the hillside matched a word.

mudslide.

By the time I realized it was coming, it was already a few feet away.

Yu Jiao couldn't make out the sound of the mudslide amid the rain and thunder. As she walked with difficulty, she saw a flash of light in her peripheral vision. She looked closely and was surprised: "It's a blue mushroom! It must be a quest item!"

No natural mushroom would look like this.

The deep blue halo flickered with the thunder, as if it was breathing and absorbing the lightning.

Yu Jiao quickly put away the mushrooms. As soon as she looked up, she saw a figure walking leisurely in the direction of the mountains. Dark clouds blocked the moonlight, and it was pitch black all around. But that person seemed to be wearing a moonlit veil, with his long hair slightly fluttering, as if he was in a different dimension from the pouring rain.

As if noticing her gaze, the man turned his head.

"—"

Rumble!

The mudslide is coming!

Yu Jiao's pupils dilated, and the green spot in her sight was drowned out by the fleeing small animals, mud, water and stones.

[Why are you standing there? Run! Run sideways! ]

【The mudslide is coming! 】

The system is about to be pissed off by this brat, why is it still in a daze at this time?

It watched Yu Jiao wake up as if from a dream and run towards safety, still holding the Rainstorm Mushroom tightly in its hand.

[You really are... you value money over your life...]

Yu Jiao gritted her teeth: [What's the difference between deducting my experience and deducting my life? ]

The system was speechless.

The little fat girl ran away at a speed that was risking her life, trying to find a reliable navigation route among the running animals, but she tripped and the mushroom remained in her arms, while the headlight fell to the ground.

Yu Jiao has mild night blindness. When the lights went out, she panicked and called the system directly.

"Where am I now? Left or right?"

Before the system could answer, a long wolf howl sounded in her ears. Yu Jiao panicked instantly: "System, all, all, all—"

The system was more panicked than her. The host died before it could accomplish its mission. Whether it was killed by a mudslide or a wolf's mouth, it could not survive in the system world!

[Hold steady! I'll guide you! ]

"Good good!"

A crooked green light fell on the muddy and watery ground under her feet. Yu Jiao stumbled forward with difficulty. The rain continued to fall and her ears were filled with mixed sounds.

So much so that Yu Jiao didn't notice that there was a row of small animals following not far behind her, and the leader was actually a big buffalo!

The one behind was a howling wolf, nimbly jumping over the falling rocks in the darkness, with only its wolf eyes flashing with a faint light from time to time.

The system was limited by Yu Jiao and could only detect the situation within ten meters ahead. Therefore, when a particularly turbulent stream of muddy water rushed towards Yu Jiao from the side, the system only had time to scream: [Hide! ]

Yu Jiao lunged forward reflexively, and her ankle felt a pain again, as if it was dislocated by something. She didn't know whether it was a stone or a broken branch that hit her back.

Yu Jiao, who was already exhausted, suddenly felt dizzy and passed out.

The panicked system was about to use a hack to save people, but was suddenly controlled by the main system and automatically completed the rain mushroom upgrade task.

By the time it recovered, it had understood what had happened and calmed down.

But the database was still searching, muttering that it shouldn't be like this. The rain shouldn't be this heavy, Yu Jiao shouldn't need rainstorm mushrooms, and it shouldn't be like this...

The system stared at the unconscious girl who had escaped the mudslide and was sheltering from the rain under a towering tree, and fell into deep thought.

Yu Jiao found herself in a dream.

The seven-year-old girl was malnourished and as thin as a stick. She washed vegetables by the river in the middle of winter while her grandparents stayed at home, warming themselves by the fire and eating the New Year's goods her parents had sent back.

She knew that her grandparents disliked her because she was a girl, and her mother had a heavy hemorrhage the year she was born, so she must have been born with bad luck.

Better to jump into the river and die.

Yu Jiao looked at her seven-year-old self quietly with red eyes. The chilblains on her hands should be itchy, but she didn't dare to scratch them, for fear that it would hurt even more to wash the dishes if she scratched them.

At that time, little Yujiao didn’t understand why her brother and younger brother could stay with their mother while she had to stay in the village.

She also doesn’t understand why her grandparents don’t like her, even though she has been trying very hard.

This doubt continued until her grandfather maliciously abandoned her to the widower next door, and until Yu Jiao angrily chopped the evil old man with a kitchen knife, starting her "rebellious" career, and she still cannot let it go until now.

How can I let it go?

Yu Jiao watched coldly as the boy by the river stumbled and fell into the river while picking up the overly heavy winnowing basket.

The root of her illness was at this time, and the medicine she used to treat it was not good. She was always hungry in the village, but after her parents took her from the police station to the Luo family villa, which had become wealthy by then, she became fat like a balloon.

The old man of the Luo family used the reason that he had fished the seven-year-old Yu Jiao out of the river to ask the girl Yu Jiao, who already had her own opinion at the time, to change her words and not let her say that it was the old man Luo who abandoned her to the widower next door.

From that moment on.

Yu Jiao has already drawn a clear line between herself and the two old people in her mind.

Thinking of seeing Old Man Luo saving her, Yu Jiao felt a little bored. She now just wanted to escape from the control of the plot and live her own ordinary life. She didn't want to see those disgusting faces.

But the dream was out of control. Yu Jiao’s perspective turned into water, bubbles surged up like crazy, and her eyes blinked uncomfortably.

In the cold and confusion, something grabbed her collar and threw her up.

pat.

The human baby fell into the pile of vegetable baskets, coughed up river water, and fainted with its head tilted.

But Yu Jiao could still see it.

Not only did he see it, he saw it very clearly! Yu Jiaomeng stared into the wolf's eyes, watching the oversized wolf shake off the river water with a little disdain, glance into the distance, then swiftly leap across the stream and disappear.

Yu Jiao could no longer hear the approaching sounds or the suggestion to go find Old Man Luo.

Even the indignation towards Old Man Luo for fabricating a life-saving favor out of thin air only accounted for one percent of her mind, and Yu Jiao was completely shocked.

The one who saved her... was actually a wolf?

How could it be a wolf?

Yu Jiao was so shocked that she woke up by doing a sit-up.

He was pushed back by a huge force.

The huge cement-gray head rubbed the equally dirty, muddy-colored human girl affectionately: "Moo——"
