Chapter 4: Freeing Myself Her tailbone fell into the hole...

Her tailbone hit the hole, and she heard the sound of her brain churning wildly in pain...

Liu Binghai felt dizzy and Zhang Mu, who was lying next to him, groaned.

The brother and sister seemed to have suddenly fallen into an underground world.

The hole wasn't deep, only about two or three meters. The soil was soft, so it must have been dug recently.

Under normal circumstances, I might be able to climb out, but the soil at the entrance of this cave is very loose and I can't climb out at all, and my hands don't have enough strength.

The two of them paused for a moment, and Zhang Mu asked, "Sister, where is this..."

The ground was covered with stinky mud, the smell was so strong that it made him breathless.

Liu Binghai felt that the smell seemed to have been specially "crafted". She grabbed a handful of soil nearby and took a look at it in front of her eyes with the help of a little light from outside.

Hehe, horse shit...

Maybe it's mixed with chicken shit, dog shit, duck shit, etc...

She threw the dirt back onto the ground, wondering how she was going to get out.

The system prompt sounded suddenly.

The original owner also fell into a big pit in the original plot, and it was also this big pit.

After she woke up from her suicide attempt and had a big fight with her grandmother, she ran out and fell into this big pit and broke her tailbone.

Because she had the same frustrating experience as the original owner, she was deducted one point.

Liu Binghai wiped his smelly face, pulled the corners of his mouth and snorted in his heart.

Damn it…

She looked up at the cave entrance, held her breath, and whispered in her heart:

"What about the several points I just accumulated? Can't they be offset?"

The system was silent for a moment: "Points are points, and deductions are deductions. Within three days, you can only gain points, not lose points."

Drift ice sea...

What a fucking cunning guy.

"Your mission will officially begin in three days. Your points will increase or decrease then, but they can be offset against each other. But not now. This is still your probation period, so mistakes are mistakes."

It's so fucking cheap...

If she had all her memories, she would know there was a pit buried here and would not have taken this path.

Sure enough, without the memory plug-in, even the most talented person cannot avoid repeating the same mistakes.

His grandfather's...

The system seemed to have heard her cursing, and another prompt sounded: "Negative emotions are a major source of discouragement for the original owner's life. If you continue to curse, your discouragement will continue to increase and you will continue to be deducted points."

Liu Binghai was just about to calm down and study the cave, but when he heard what it said, he suddenly got angry. He didn't care about the pain in his tailbone and suddenly stood up like the wind.

This system is pure bullshit. She is a human being, and humans have emotions. Who doesn't have some negative emotions?

As a poor guy, what I lack the most is negative emotions. I am forced to wear this shabby place where there is no one, and I am not allowed to curse?

Since he had been deducted points anyway, Liu Binghai simply sat down on the ground and completely relaxed himself...

She had a hot temper to begin with, and now she was cursing the system fluently and freely.

The vocabulary is very rich.

I am a human being, can't I just swear to release some stress?

Can you achieve happiness by pretending to be nice?

Wouldn’t the bad mood that I keep in my heart become a devil and devour my liver function?

Which task master in your system relies on smiling to market the world throughout the whole process? Show me your face first.

The system seemed to be stunned by her scolding.

Then I actually felt that what she said made some sense...

After a while, the system said calmly, "Alright, as Liu Binghai, you can curse. But as Zhang Qin, you still need to continue to stabilize her emotions and reduce her discouragement. This is your task."

Listening to the system's clear and melodious voice, Liu Binghai rolled his eyes and vented his anger for a long time.

This was the first time the system was scolded by the host. It felt a little confused and its speech was a little incoherent.

Seeing that she had scolded him enough, the system prompted again: "You have been deducted one point and have been punished once. You have three more chances."

"Oh no, it's twice!" the system corrected.

Liu Binghai sat on the ground to sort out his emotions.

"Today is only the first day," the system said seriously, "If you are punished three times within three days, you will return to your original world."

It was a steady voice like the news broadcast, thick, metallic, and mixed with a strong smell of cocoa.

"I know, stop complaining!" Liu Binghai cursed again.

The system remained silent for a long time. There was no rule in the contract that the tasker would be deducted points for swearing in public.

The system swallows its anger.

"Let me ask you, if I resolve the current frustration, can I also erase the previous offense?"

The system replied: "No."

"Get lost!"

The system rolled.

......

Half an hour later, it was getting dark and the brother and sister were still sitting in the cave.

Just now, Zhang Mu tried to call for help by shouting, but there were so few people in the village and it was in the middle of nowhere that no one could hear him.

Zhang Mu was extremely anxious, but he was very puzzled as to why his sister was not anxious at all.

The iceberg was lying lazily on the ground, neither anxious nor angry, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Sister? Sister!" Zhang Mu shouted.

Liu Binghai was dozing off on some horse shit. She had figured it out. The system wouldn't return the points she had deducted even if she went out, so she might as well stay here... When she went out again in three days, she would have all her memories.

It's quite safe here anyway. I won't be penalized for making mistakes if I sleep here for three days... Isn't that great?

So she simply made up her mind and fell asleep leaning against the hole in the ground. She even thought that this hole must have been dug for her by a god, which was quite awesome.

She was lying on the ground happily, but Zhang Mu refused to accept it.

He was hungry and wondered why his sister was so silly.

The little boy waved his hand in front of her, "Sister, aren't you hungry?"

Liu Binghai wrapped his arms around his neck, closed his eyes, and sniffed the horse shit while calmly answering, "I'm hungry."

Zhang Mu: "Then why don't you try to get out?"

Liu Binghai thought, compared to being hungry, I'm more afraid of losing points...

Compared to the points deduction, this horse shit has become less unbearable. It's soft and comfortable to lean on...

Liu Binghai felt that he was too shameless.

There is a saying that goes, "Points, points, the lifeblood of students..."

It's the same wherever you go.

Liu Binghai comforted Zhang Mu: "Don't worry, keep your strength first, someone will come to rescue us."

Zhang Mu thought it made sense, "Then how long will we stay here?"

Liu Binghai said without hesitation: "Three days!"

"Ah?!" the boy shouted, "Why?"

Well......

Liu Binghai stood up, analyzed the situation carefully, and concluded that there were three reasons.

First, she might continue to be deducted points within three days, so it would be safer if she didn't go out.

Second, she felt it carefully and realized that her butt might be swollen now. Who knows if it would hurt when she sat on a bench or slept on a wooden bed after she went out, would it increase the original owner's discouragement value and whether she would be deducted points by the cunning system.

Thirdly, and most importantly, she vaguely felt that only by waiting quietly could a turning point come.

Many people in history were like this, such as that person and that person. Although I can’t remember their names at the moment, there must be many of them. The more they struggled, the weaker they became, and only after waiting and watching the changes did they get good results.

She told Zhang Mu this last truth.

"So, wait!" said Liu Binghai.

Zhang Mu didn't quite understand what he heard, but since his sister said to wait, he decided to wait. After all, his sister was the only person here who treated him well.

Although his sister had a bad temper, she always loved him. Whenever someone chased him and shouted "criminal son of a bitch", she would pick up everything at her feet and throw it at the group of people.

Violent and cute.

He couldn't help but feel his eyes moist as he thought of the past.

But today, he felt that his sister was a little different...

If something like this had happened at other times, she would have been so angry that she would have started cursing in the cave and would have kept crying until she had no more strength left.

And as she cried, she would curse her father, her mother, and her grandmother until she was so tired that she fell asleep while holding him.

But now she is neither angry nor crying, as if nothing happened.

Zhang Mu felt something was wrong and couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Sister, are you okay?"

Liu Binghai was still resting with his eyes closed. "Hmm? What's up?"

Zhang Mu said, "We fell into such a shabby place, how come you're not angry or crying? You... you're not sick, are you?"

After saying that, a small hand reached out and touched her forehead.

Liu Binghai was amused, "Then what should I be like?"

Zhang Mu said, "You used to cry, and after crying you would curse your father, mother, and grandmother, saying it was all their fault."

After hearing this, Liu Binghai opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Mu's innocent face. His big round eyes were full of confusion and were staring at her intently.

She suddenly thought of a very important question, so she leaned against the wall of the cave and asked Zhang Mu.

"Xiao Mu, do you hate your parents?"

Zhang Mu was stunned when he heard this.

He never thought about this question.

But his sister always said that his parents and grandmother were not good, so he thought that he must hate them.

So he nodded confusedly.

Liu Binghai touched his face and said, "Don't hate them."

She doesn't think she should be like Bai Lianhua and say, "There are no bad parents in the world."

She is not a white lotus, she still prefers owls.

However, the original owner felt wronged and had never been loved. She could hate or not hate, and this was the original owner's freedom.

But Liu Binghai thinks there is no need to hate.

Because that consumes too much of your life's energy and ties your whole life to a nightmare that you cannot change at all.

Not worth it.

"Because there's no need." She said to Zhang Mu, and prepared to teach him some survival skills. "Forces act mutually. The more you hate the world, the more the world will hate you. If you give it a vicious look, it will reward you with stinking dog shit, just like now..."

Liu Binghai shrugged, "Maybe it's just that my sister rolls her eyes too much, and now she has to smell shit here. So if you smile more in the future, your life may not be so smelly in the future."

Zhang Mu looked bewildered. "Then if someone scolds me, do I laugh?"

Liu Binghai said, "That's not necessary, we have to fight back!"

Zhang Mu...

Didn’t you just say you would smile more?

System: "Drifting Ice Sea..."

Liu Binghai: “Got it!”

She sat up and said to Zhang Mu seriously, "Xiao Mu, Daddy made a mistake, but that was his life and has nothing to do with us. Although Mom can't take care of us, that's her difficulty, not that she doesn't love us. Although Grandma is partial, it's because there is too little food, not intentionally making things difficult for us. Xiao Mu, some things may not be what we see on the surface. The world is like a Rubik's Cube. We stand on the blue side and will never see the hardship and sorrow of the white side. So, there is no need to hate anyone, and don't cry. As long as I am here, everything will be fine, understand?"

Zhang Mu's small body trembled slightly, perhaps because it was rare to hear her sister speak so calmly, and what she said was so reasonable and sophisticated...

It sounds very profound...

He nodded, not quite understanding, and then asked, "If someone scolds me, will I still laugh?"

Liu Binghai let out a weak breath.

Why are you back again...

She felt that the cunning system's eyes were looking at her with a mean look.

She smiled gently at Zhang Mu and gently wiped the dog shit off his face. "Don't laugh, ignore, or respond. When we grow up, we will leave this village and never see these people again. Why bother with them?"

Zhang Mu nodded: "Okay sister, I understand."

Liu Binghai breathed a sigh of relief and rolled his eyes silently in his heart.

"Sister, are we really going to sleep here for three days?"

"OK."

"But sister, it seems there is no chance."

"Why?"

The little boy watched as a body poked its head out of the dark cave entrance.

"Someone's coming."
