Xia Yi was idle as well, washing Gu Wenchu's coat by hand and spreading it on the big rock by the river.

Blowing the river breeze and listening to the sound of water, Xia Yi closed her eyes and fell on the big rock on the river beach.

He had no time to care before, and has been adapting to this farming world. Work hard on the task and don't think about everything in the original world. As soon as he calmed down, many thoughts surfaced unconsciously.

He thought of his parents who had passed away, the brothers in the dormitory, and the stray cats he used to feed downstairs. Can not help but give birth to a sadness and loneliness of being alone in another world.

A tear slipped from the corner of his eye.

I don't know when, Gu Wenzhu has already returned. Dressed and sat beside him, staring directly at the river.

A low voice sounded: "I haven't asked what's the situation in your house, why did you escape to find your aunt, but you can't live it anymore. Anyway, since you have found here, I will be It’s up to you."

Xia Yi sat up, sniffed with red eyes and said, "I just miss my parents."

Seeing Gu Wen looking over, he added sadly: "They all passed away."

"When my parents were there, I didn't care about anything, so I didn't even know how to cook. Now I feel so regretful, like a cripple."

"I miss them so much. They haven't eaten the potatoes I planted. They used to be ignorant and think that everything has parents. Before leaving, they are worried about how I will live in the future."

"I want them to know now that I'm working hard to farm. Don't worry about me, I will live a good life no matter where I am." Xia Yi wiped the tears from her face, turned her head and looked into the distance, trying not to choke herself. Speak out.

Gu Wen stared at Xia Yi with pity in his eyes, and said softly, "You work hard, they will know."

A gust of wind blew up the soft hair on Xia Yi's forehead, and raised a few small dull hairs. Suddenly, Gu Wenzhu wanted to reach out and smooth out those hairs for him. Squeezing his fingers, he turned his head back.

Gu Wen caught a lot of fish in the upper reaches, more than a dozen large and small, including grouper and crucian. He showed the fish basket to Xia Yi, and Xia Yi quickly forgot the sadness he had just now, and smiled again with a red nose.

It was getting late, Xia Yi picked up the full fish basket, climbed onto Gu Wenju's generous back, and started to return. The sky was already dark, and when passed by the river, there were no people.

This time Gu Wen walked back home with Xia Yi on his back.

Gu Wen boiled a pot of fish soup one by one, which was fresh and delicious. You pick one for me of the two, and I pick one for you, and eat up that pot of fish.

Xia Yi also ate three bowls of rice in fish soup.

When Gu Wen was washing the dishes, Xia Yi slumped straight on the back of the chair. Watching Gu Wen's tall and tall figure bustling around in the kitchen, doing all kinds of housework in an orderly manner.

He touched his belly and thought of a question, so he asked curiously: "Brother Zhu, why are you so good and haven't got a family?"

Gu Wen stopped washing the dishes. He turned and looked at Xia Yi. Xia Yi looked back at him with an innocent look. After thinking about it for a while, Gu Wen replied: "I didn't meet a satisfactory one."

Xia Yi nodded clearly, "A good person like you will surely find someone you like."

After thinking about it, he added: "But when you meet something you like, you have to be like me. Let people understand your intentions as soon as possible, so as not to be preempted by others."

When Xia Yi was buying milk tea in her freshman year, she met a girl, and when she fell in love at first sight, she chased her and beat her. The girl behind also agreed to watch him everywhere. Although after talking for a month, still broke up with disagreement, but it proved that the method of chasing people is still effective.

Gu Wen didn't answer, Xia Yi heard him seem to smile twice, and then shook his head helplessly.

After a while, Xia Yi's feet were almost healed, and the potatoes were ripe. He has been running more frequently in the field these days, and he has to go to see it several times every day.

As soon as walked to the ridge this morning, there was a burst of fireworks and firecrackers in head, and at the same time the voice of 179 rang out beamingly:

Congratulations to the host for completing the first task released by the system.

The content of the task is: Become a disciple of Qishan School

Completion: 1/1

Reward: a gift package for task reward novices

Host, do you receive the prize now or later? "

Xia Yi faintly listened, and couldn't help asking: "What are the prizes?"

The system didn't answer immediately, and after a while, a flat mechanical tone sounded: "Are you sure you want to know now?"

When Xia Yi heard this voice, she knew it was not good, but she was still curious: "Speaking of which, I just want to know how spicy your system is."

"The task reward is 10 bottles of base building fluid, and the novice gift package is a marrow pill and 10 lower-level spirit stones." 179 read.

Xia Yi:.......

"Host, if you don't receive the prize now, I can store it in your system storage compartment, and you can receive it anytime and anywhere in the future." 179 proposed.

Xia Yi asked: "What is the storage compartment of the system?"

"The system storage compartment is the main system space, there is a sub-system space dedicated to you, which can be used for storage." 179 explained.

"Then you save it for me." Xia Yidao.

After receiving the reward, Xia Yi went to see his baby potatoes. Rubbing her hands, Xia Yi raised the hoe with both hands and digged down at the side of a potato seedling. When the hoe is pulled out, a large piece of mud is turned up, and the mud is densely packed with potatoes. According to a rough estimate, a single seedling can be dug out several tens of kilograms.

Xia Yi was very excited, immediately threw away the hoe and ran home, and hurried back to call Gu Wenzhu.

Gu Wen pushed a scooter to the ground one by one, and the two of them shook their arms and digged. The potatoes were big and many, and Xia Yi soon became so sore that he couldn't move his hoe, so Gu Wen continued, picking it up with the bamboo basket behind him.

When the potatoes in this part of the field are harvested, the sun will set. After pulling them home several times with a cart, a potato hill was piled up in the yard.

In the moonlight, the two of them came to weigh the potatoes again, which was a full 1,000 jin.

Xia Yi looked at these potato mountains and smiled like a fool.

Gu Wenzhu simply boiled a pot of potatoes. After it is boiled, it is fried again, until the skin is browned, and then sprinkled with salt and pepper noodles. The potatoes were yellow and orange, and the bite was sandy and sweet, and the two couldn't stop eating.

While eating and looking at the pile of potatoes, Gu Wen said one by one: "I put 100 catties in the cellar, and I will take the rest to the city tomorrow to sell, just to take you into the city."

Xia Yi quickly agreed with joy.

When lying on the bed at night, Xia Yi suddenly started calling the system.

"179, didn't I say that I opened a golden finger? One cent of land produces three acres of land."

179 did not say a word.

Xia Yi saw this posture, and I went, this was a prelude to pretending to be dead. So he sat up, angrily, "Do you want to shame?"

179: "Host, you don't have a place to put potatoes on three acres of land. Besides, you suddenly have so many potatoes, how can you explain to Gu Wen one by one?"

Xia Yi thought for a while, and smiled slyly: "Don't I have a system space? You install it in the system space for me first."

179 reluctantly agreed.

After a while, the system sounded in Xia Yi's mind: "Host, your five tons of potatoes have been used up in the system space."

Xia Yi held a fist into the air: "Thanks."

The system sounded again: "Host, given that you have completed the first task released by the system, also known as the novice task, and received the reward. Now, the second task is released by the Immortal Cultivation System No. 179 for you." "Task Introduction: Reach the base building period and obtain a spirit beast

Completion: 0/2

Reward: a gift package for mission rewards"

Xia Yi: ...

"What is the corresponding farming task this time?" Xia Yi asked.

"Plant onions and fennel on ten acres of land." 179.

"I want gold fingers." Xia Yi said.

Just as the system was about to refuse, Xia Yi said: "Compensation, complaint, score."

System: "One cent."

Xia Yi: "Deal."

With a genius, Gu Wenzhu made breakfast in the kitchen. When Xia Yi finished washing, a large bowl of porridge and a small basket of pancakes were already on the table.

Xia Yiyi ate several cakes and got into the carriage that Gu Wenzhu had already set. The carriage was borrowed by Gu Wen from the old man in the village, and it was full of Xia Yi's potatoes. As Gu Wen flicked his whip one by one, the carriage went all the way towards the city.

The village was only a dozen miles away from the county seat, and when the sun rose to the top, the carriage also entered the city.

After Xia Yi came into this world, his eyes were full of mountains or fields. This is the first time have come to a place with so many people. Said to be a county town, in Xia Yi's view, it is just a little bigger than the original town in the world, but the streets are bustling with various stalls and vendors shouting loudly, which is very lively.

The carriage drove to a small tea stall. Gu Wen stopped Xia Yi one by one and said, "You will wait for me here. I will drive the cart to a nearby military camp. The purchasers inside are people I know well. All my food was sold directly to him."

Seeing that Gu Wenzhu had to urge him, Xia Yi nodded quickly and said, "Just do your business. I'll wait for you here, not going anywhere."

Gu Wen confessed to the tea stall owner one by one, leaving a few copper plates, and drove away.

Xia Yi sat at the tea stand with a bowl of tea in front of him, looking around.

"179, over there, the one called Jinfenglou, quickly scan it, is it the legendary brothel?"

"Host, that's a restaurant."

"Oh... There is a restaurant called Zuiyi Pavilion over there. It should also be a restaurant."

"Host, that's a library."

"...That's it. 179. Look at the one in the west called Songzhuguan. The gate looks simple and elegant. It should be the academy where students study."

"Host, that is a brothel."

Xia Yi:...

What happened to these ancient people?
