Jiang Tiecheng was reborn.
Just because he drew the lot to take over his father's job, he got an immense benefit.
His entire life, he had to help his mother raise his younger siblin...
"That won't do. You don't know that in this village, grain is distributed according to the number of people."
I'm moving to your house, and then we'll have a problem with food supplies.
I ate the same rations as Li Daxing and his family at that house.
Last night, I discussed it with Zhao Di and a few others. Li Daxing can't die. If he really dies, the whole family will starve to death.
Xiao Guai didn't want to come and keep Qi Yue company, but she had no choice. So many eyes in the village were watching their identities, and it was a sensitive matter. If they were always together and getting too close, it would be easy for something to happen.
More importantly, Li Daxing is currently unconscious and is basically on the verge of death. If this continues, and he continues to burn for another two or three days, he will become delirious.
But after discussing it yesterday, Xiao Guai realized that in this village at this time of year...
To survive, they really needed adults. If there were no strong laborers in the family, it would be impossible for Zhaodi and Laidi to support a family of five on their own.
Xiao Guai was also a little troubled. Li Daxing couldn't die, but he had done so many bad things. If he didn't die, it would be a bit unfair to all the girls who had died.
"Sigh, I really wanted to kill Li Daxing, but I didn't expect that if Li Daxin died, we would immediately run out of food."
The village still helps us kids out of respect for Li Daxing, but if he dies, our class status will probably disappear immediately.
"If only Li Daxing could stay asleep forever, and remain a living dead forever."
Xiao Guai was also very annoyed. If they didn't take advantage of Li Daxing's illness now and kill him, what if Li Daxing survived this ordeal and recovered? Then they would all be in trouble.
Their biggest problem was the continuous heavy snow, which prevented them from getting out.
I asked Zhao Di yesterday, and she said that if we want to leave here, we can only do so after the New Year when spring arrives and the snow melts.
So overall, I'll have to stay here for a few more months.
Xiao Guai was annoyed, but July laughed when she heard this.
"That's easy, don't worry."
He took a pill out of his pocket and put it in her hand.
"Sis, what's this?"
"What's the use of Li Daxing becoming a living dead? These days, the team distributes grain according to work points."
Li Daxing needs to be able to work; this pill is called the "Fool's Obedience Pill."
"Divide this pill in half. Give one half to Li Daxing and the other half to that little fool."
After taking the pill, both of them will have the mental capacity of a two-year-old child, but they will completely obey the pill's owner. Think about it yourself.
If they become mentally challenged, they can work and earn food for their families, while also making amends for the bad things they've done over the years.
This might not be a bad thing.
Besides, Li Daxing and his foolish son are listening to you now.
"You can do whatever you want in the village. If you want to associate with me later, won't Li Daxing protect you?"
Xiao Guai was delighted upon hearing this and quickly took it.
"Sis, how come you still have such a good thing? What did you do in your past life?"
July smiled.
"What could we do in our past lives? We did what you did, we're the same."
Although Qi Zai and I died, we went to another world and completed many missions to earn our rebirth in this life.
However, I received many rewards while doing this task; these are all rewards obtained from completing the task.
"We were lucky; we both got a lot of rewards, which came in handy this time. You can take this thing back."
In July, after thinking for a moment, she took out another pill.
"Here, this is for you too."
What is this?
Little Guai looked at the pills in her hand and asked...
July said.
"This pill is a Yin-Yang pill, but its effects only last for one month after taking it."
Moreover, a side effect is that one will feel weak and listless for about a month after taking the pills.
This means that if the side effects and the powerful effect of this pill occur simultaneously, it may be ineffective. Of course, it's also possible that one first experiences weakness and then develops powerful strength.
I'm not sure what effect this medicine will have after I take it.
However, I've used it. If you take it during a period of intense exertion, you can basically become incredibly strong, with the strength of about 20 adults—far beyond imagination.
"The pills are for your self-defense. Don't take them casually. That's why I didn't take them out during our kidnapping."
Because if taking this pill happens to cause weakness and paralysis, it's basically useless to us. Taking this pill is only a last resort, a gamble with our lives.
Xiao Guai immediately understood. The pill had too many side effects, meaning there was a lot of uncertainty. To be precise, the pill could bring very good results, or it might be completely useless.
"Don't worry, sis, I won't eat anything unless it's absolutely necessary."
In July, Xiao Guai was sent away. Xiao Guai returned home with the pills in her pocket and saw Zhao Di, Lai Di, and Yin Di sitting at the table in the main room, looking worried.
Zhao Di and Lai Di naturally knew that if their father woke up, they would definitely not have a good time, and would be doomed.
But if we kill his father now, his family's share of grain allocated to them this year will immediately be divided up by others.
Don't assume that just because the villagers are all neighbors and people who watched them grow up, they can treat them well.
In their village, any elderly person who has lost their son or an orphan who has lost their parents will either have to go out and beg for food, or they will starve or freeze to death.
The villagers weren't so kind; there really were cases of people taking advantage of those who had no children.
This is why, although they hate Li Daxing, they cannot live without him.
Because Li Daxing and his mentally challenged brother had a share in the village, even though the brother was mentally challenged, he was still a male member of the family.
In the village, the younger brother would also receive a share of all the benefits.
Li Daxing remained unconscious with a high fever, causing the three children great worry and anxiety, but they had no idea what to do.
After Yili Daxing fainted, they finally managed to organize their belongings. There were only 60 jin of cornmeal left in the cupboard.
It's definitely impossible to eat until next autumn's harvest!
In their village, grain is distributed in six-month installments at a time.
Li Daxing and his younger brother will only be able to receive their remaining food rations when they go to the village to sign documents next spring.
The so-called signing was really just pressing a fingerprint, meaning that if Li Daxing and his mentally challenged brother were to die now, they would starve to death next year.
The sweet potatoes and yams at home are not enough to fill our stomachs; we can't even eat them during the Chinese New Year.
If things continue like this, the whole family will die. It's just that Master Li and his mentally challenged brother will go first, and the rest of them won't live for more than a few days.
Seeing Xiao Guai enter, Zhao Di sighed. To be precise, she was both afraid of this three-and-a-half-year-old girl and wanted to get closer to her.
She knew that this three-and-a-half-year-old child was more opinionated than she was.
