Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

Anyway, she was not planning to go up the mountain today. She just wanted to reclaim the wasteland and plant potatoes as soon as possible.

While Zeng Zhengen and her colleagues were reclaiming wasteland here, the villagers of Fulai Village had already gone to Lantau Island.

The villagers did not take the same path that Zeng Zhengen had taken before, but chose to take another main road.

But just as they reached halfway up the mountain, something went wrong.

A villager slipped down the mountain because he lost his balance.

“Ah…ah…help! Help!”

The villager grabbed a weed in panic, but the branch was covered with dense thorns. The villager felt pain in his hand and quickly let go.

The next moment, the villager continued to fall towards an abyss. At the moment the villager fell, a miserable voice came from below.

When the villagers above heard this miserable sound, they were so scared that their faces turned pale.

"I...I told you that you can't go up Lantau Island. We haven't walked for a while and someone fell down." A villager said tremblingly.

When the other villagers heard this, they also started to get scared.

Chen Lizheng hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the villagers.

"Don't panic, Xiang Qian was just careless. Let's try to pull him up first. But you must be careful later. Don't let him fall down again by accident."

With the comfort from Village Chief Chen, everyone felt much more relieved.

Mrs. Wang also said at this time: "As long as we are all careful, nothing will happen again. A young lady can go up to Lantau Island by herself. There are so many of us, we can't be defeated by a young lady."

The villagers were even more confident after hearing what Wang Dasao said. Yes, there were so many of them! Even if something unexpected happened, so many people could be rescued in time.

It's impossible that there are so many of them and they can't even beat a little girl! If this gets out, it will be too embarrassing.

Village chief Chen began to organize the villagers to rescue Chen Xiangqian who had fallen.

The crowd first found a few long vines nearby, then tied all the vines into one, and then tied the vines to a young and strong man.

Everyone at this end slowly let the vines down.

A quarter of an hour later, the man finally reached the bottom of the abyss and saw Chen Xiangqian lying on the ground with a painful look on his face.

"Xiang Qian, quickly grab my hand, I will let the villagers pull us up." The man said to Chen Xiang Qian.

Chen Xiangqian opened his eyes slightly and saw a fellow villager coming down to rescue him. Chen Xiangqian hurriedly stepped forward and held the man's hand.

After hearing the noise, the villagers above began to pull the two people up slowly.

A quarter of an hour later, the two were finally pulled up, but everyone also saw Chen Xiangqian's bloody legs.

Even if no one said anything, Chen Xiangqian knew that his legs were probably useless.

Chen Xiangqian started wailing immediately. If he had known earlier, he would not have taken advantage of this opportunity and would have followed everyone to Lantau Island.

Now, I haven’t found anything yet, but my legs are already disabled.

When the other villagers saw Chen Xiangqian's miserable appearance, some of them began to back out.

In the end, even if Chen Lizheng came out to appease them, it was of no use, and there were still a few people who wanted to go back.

They are all relatively rational, and I'm afraid it's not that easy to get to Lantau Island.

Seeing this, Village Chief Chen sighed helplessly, and then said to those people.

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you any further. Just carry Chen Xiangqian down the mountain first! But I have to say this: if you go back, then if we find something good later, you won't be able to share it equally."

Village chief Chen said in a serious tone that after all, it was a matter of interest, and some things had to be made clear in advance to avoid further wrangling later.

The men nodded and said, "Village Chief, we know this. We are definitely not the kind of unreasonable people."

Village chief Chen accepted all their requests and immediately waved his hand to let them go.

Several people carried Chen Xiang forward, taking one step forward and one step back, down the mountain.

Zeng Zhengen had just cleared all the land and was sitting aside to rest. When he looked up, he saw several villagers from Fulai Village carrying a person up and down the stairs.

Zeng Zhengen raised his eyebrows. It was quite unexpected that someone got injured so soon.

Zeng Zhengen thought that they would be able to hold on until noon, but who would have thought that someone would be carried down only half an hour later.

Zeng Zhengen had been to Lantau Island once, and she knew very well how dangerous it was.

If she had not practiced the martial arts secrets rewarded by the system, it would have been difficult for her to escape from Lantau Island unscathed.

Zeng Zhengen just glanced at it lightly and then didn't look at it again.

After the boys had cultivated their own land, they went to help the Zeng family to open up the wasteland.

Zeng Zhengen only had a little over one acre of land, which was not a lot, but the food she grew was enough for her and her children to eat.

The sun was shining brightly at noon and everyone was feeling extremely hot.

Although it is already late autumn, it is still cool only in the morning and evening. The sun is still quite hot at noon.

Seeing that the time was almost up, everyone simply packed up and went home.

After Zeng Zhengen brought the three kids back home, he asked them to make some simple food and then started to eat lunch.

Ever since the three little ones learned how to cook, Zeng Zhengen rarely cooks in the kitchen.

The three little boys were also happy to cook for their mother.

After lunch, Zeng Zhengen told the kids to stay at home, and she went out carrying the potatoes she bought from the system mall yesterday.

When Zeng Zhengen arrived at Pan Yang's house, Pan Yang's family had just finished lunch and were preparing to take a break. Seeing Zeng Zhengen coming, Pan Yang hurried forward and asked.

"Girl Zeng, what brings you here in the middle of the day?"

Pan Yang knew that Zeng Zhengen would not have come out in the middle of the day unless he had something important to do.

Zeng Zhengen raised the sack in his hand and said to Pan Yang.

"Uncle Pan, this is a kind of food I dug up from Lantau Island yesterday. It should be called potato. It is easy to grow. Just cut it along the bud, cover it with wood ash, and bury it directly in the ground and it will grow."

"Our land opened up late, so it's probably too late to plant other crops. But we can give potatoes a try. Once they're ripe, we can cook them and eat them directly."

After hearing Zeng Zhengen's explanation, Pan Yang was instantly delighted.
