Garn in another world

This is a vast grassland. The weeds are growing fiercely and are as tall as half a person. From a distance, it is a piece of green, stretching as far as the sky. When a gust of wind blows, the grass tumbles in one direction. Like a wave, it looks very majestic.

There were a few figures scattered in the grass, hunched over looking for something, almost completely covered up.

Gan straightened his back and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The meadow was endless on one side, their village could be seen faintly on the other side, and behind it was a road connecting other places, leading to the nearest city.Living here, just looking at the scenery is a pleasing thing, but it is too poor.

Poverty, it is a painful thing.

Before coming here, Jia En's life was undoubtedly rich, but he was not a person who could not bear hardships.When he was young, his parents passed away early, and ordinary families lost their parents' income, which made him and his elder brother live a hard life for a long time. It was not until his elder brother seized the opportunity to start a business that his life gradually improved.Later, he joined the company to help, and the two brothers worked together, and finally won a piece of land in the cruel market competition.

Gan was a little dazed, and felt that the dizziness just now seemed to be getting worse.He shook his head, trying to get rid of the sour emotions stuck in the past.

Jia En is growing up, and eating sesame cakes almost every day makes him intolerable.It is not that there are no other grains in this world. However, the environment and climate in the village are only suitable for planting millet, and they have no extra money to buy other grains. It is not bad to have a meal once in a while.

Now, here he is fighting for food.

Children from several villages were looking for silver leaf grass here - a medicinal material that can be used to synthesize potions, and sold to old man Xi Lei for ten copper coins per plant.

"Gaen, how many did you find?" A young man broke through the grass and ran to him.

Before Jia En could answer, he saw Jia En's basket sharply, and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Ah! You only found two plants in one afternoon? It's even less than before!"

"Zach, what's so proud of you kid? It's amazing to find four?" The boy who spoke was older than them, with brown hair. He shouted loudly to the back, "Vera, how many did you find?"

The girl replied crisply: "Five plants! Chrissy, I found five plants!"

The brown-haired Chrissy is the son of Uncle Eckel. He glared at Zach, "Did you hear that? Vera has more girls than you. Are you still proud?"

Let's not say what Zach's reaction is. After hearing this, Gan frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.

Picking silver leaf grass is a tiring task. They grow at the root of the half-person-high grass and are only the size of a finger. You can only see it when you lean on the ground and look carefully.This matter is a test of one's physical strength, and Gan feels dizzy after only looking for it for a while.

Zach blushed, and then shouted: "What about Jiaen? There are only two plants in Jiaen!"

The top of the head was slapped hard, and Vera stood behind him with her hips crossed, "You bullied Jia En again! Knowing that Jia En is not in good health, you compare him every time. Hmph, if you are a man, you will fight with Ke Richie!"

The girl's face was ruddy due to sweating, exuding vitality under the sun, very dazzling.Zach's face turned even redder, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak.

Gan had nothing to say, Chrissy patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.

"It's okay, Gan. I heard that magicians are very weak." Vera said.

Zach was not convinced, "But Gan is not a magician! He is an ordinary commoner, how can he compare with a noble magician? Vera, you are not fair!"

"Aren't you a commoner?" Vera snorted and left with her basket.

"Vera...Vera..." Zach yelled and chased after her.

Finally, no one is talking about his body, and Gaun is relieved.His body is indeed not good, especially after the change of people inside.A boy of this age needs nourishment, but he couldn't eat the food here, and he had to swallow it in front of Lina to avoid her worrying.In the final analysis, his poor health was actually just malnutrition.

I used to eat a lot of white rice and rich dishes, how can I not be picky when faced with the food now?

He had to find a way to change the food situation, but... Looking at the two poor silver-leaf grasses in the basket, Gan couldn't help but sigh.

Chrissy took out two silver-leaved grasses from his own basket and put them in Gan's basket.

"Krissy?" Gann stretched out his hand to stop him.

Chrissy grinned, "That kid Zach just likes to talk nonsense, leave him alone. I found a lot today, I'll give you two plants, don't bother with me." He didn't know that his own words made Jia En even more care.

Jia En looked down at the two extra silver-leaf grasses he had left, and felt a little touched.In the village, due to the influence of the soil conditions, no other food can be grown, and everyone's life is difficult. Chrissy distributed the money he got. Although it is not much, it can be seen from his heart.

Ga Eun's family is the hardest.Other families have a labor force, and they plant a lot of land. Although stone millet is cheap, it can also be exchanged for some small money.And Lina is the only one in his family. Even with the help of Uncle Eckel, there is still a large piece of land left unplanted. The annual surplus is very little, and life is more difficult than other families.

Find a way to make money!This is the oath that Jia En secretly swore after living here for a period of time.

But there is no clue yet.

"Thank you, Chrissy. But I can't have it."

Chrissy patted him on the shoulder, "Take it, we are good friends, why are we so divided?"

"No, how about this, why don't you help me take these two silver leaf grasses to Grandpa Xi Lei, and I won't go."

Chrissy was puzzled, he often helped Gann before, why he refused so persistently now?There was an indescribable persistence in Gann's eyes, which made him nod involuntarily.

"Okay, Garn."

The two of them were about to go home, and Chrissy picked up Gann's basket in his hand, which seemed to be a habit.Ga-eun didn't care either, talking to him as he walked.

"Chrissy, why doesn't our village even have a name?" Gann asked.Chrissy was two or three years older than him and probably knew something.

"Because of the Tiwit forest, it is said that it is a cursed place. Our village is close to the Tiwit forest. The soil is not good, and it is poor and backward. No one wants to come here. Whenever there is a chance, people go out and stay in the forest. People here can't go out without money." Chrissy turned his head and said seriously: "Gaen, one day, I will leave here with my father. Will you?"

Gann smiled, "It takes a lot of money to leave here, right? Without money, let alone being unable to survive, civilians who go out of places like us are looked down upon outside."

"But it's better than staying here without hope."

"You're right, there will always be a chance. By the way, have you ever been to Mitton City?" He has never had the chance to visit the city.

Chrissy was a little frustrated, "I went to the gate of the city once, and something happened in the city. My father and I were stopped outside. We were so unlucky."

"It's okay, I'll go later. Hey, you said that everyone else wants to go out, why does Grandpa Xi Lei live here all the time?" Gann muttered strangely, "What a weird old man."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Chrissy covered his mouth, looked around in a panic, and there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief, and warned in a low voice: "Shh, it will be troublesome if he finds out! Grandpa Lei is a pharmacist. I heard that if you accidentally offend him, those weird medicines are enough for you! Someone came to him before, and there seemed to be a quarrel in the room. When the man was driven out, his face Covered with pustules, he knelt at the door and kept begging for mercy. Finally, Xi Lei said hoarsely, "If you keep making noise, I'll let your whole body fester and die!" Since then, no one dared to approach his house casually."

Gann felt his heart tremble, "It's so scary..."

"Isn't it? Fortunately, he doesn't lose his temper, and he doesn't come out very often. Every time I go to sell silver leaf grass, I feel that his house is gloomy when I stand at the door..."

It seems that this old man Xi Lei is not easy to mess with, it is better to stay away from him in the future.

Back home, Ga-eun started preparing dinner.

It's time for harvest these two days. Lina is very busy and hasn't come back yet.I heard from Chrissy that from tomorrow onwards he will help the family with the field work and will not be looking for silver leaf grass for the time being.Jia En plans to help Lina tomorrow, although she may not agree.

Lina thinks that with Jia En's physical strength, she can't help at all, but Jia En knows that she loves herself.Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, Lina is a good mother.

After boiling hot water, Gann took out the cold and hard sesame cakes from the cabinet, soaked them in warm water, then ran out, picked a bagful of vegetables in the vegetable field, and washed them with clean water.

Yesterday, a rare duck was slaughtered at home, a leg was chopped off and cut into cubes, and the rest of the duck was dried on the windowsill.The ducks here are fat ducks, rich in oil and water, but the meat is a bit rough.Jia En put the diced meat directly into the pan and stir-fried, drained the excess oil, added some salt, and fried it thoroughly before removing it from the pan.I made another vegetable soup, but only salt was added—the only condiment at home was salt, and I had to go to the city to buy the rest.

Cut the soaked sesame cakes into slices three fingers wide and one finger thick, and fry them with the oil just now. After a while, a plate of "sesame cake rice crackers" comes out of the oven.

This is a new way of eating that Gann thought of.In fact, in his previous life, he would cook a lot of small dishes. When he was studying, his brother often worked late, so he would prepare meals at home and wait for him to come back.It's a pity that the current situation is that "a clever woman can't cook without rice".

Not long after, Lina came back, and the two had dinner together. Jia En proposed to help in the field tomorrow, but Lina refused as expected.Finally, under his insistence, Lina let go, but repeatedly told her not to force her.

Jia En's mother died very early before, and he came here to invade her body, he just wanted to do more.Come again, by the way, to make up for the past regrets.

Seeing Jia En washing the dishes, Lina's mood is undoubtedly relieved.The child has changed during this time, and is more obedient and sensible than before. If it was before, he would not take the initiative to ask for something to do.Of course, mothers are happy about this change.

On the second day, Gann finally didn't go to help in the field. The arrival of Chrissy early in the morning gave him a new idea.No, it wasn't Chrissy who made him think, it was what he brought.
