Chapter 188
Then he watched helplessly as the tiny flame gradually died out in the dark stove.
Yunmian: “…”
She tried a few more times and when it failed, she stood up holding the lighter, a little annoyed.
Holding a lighter in his right hand and a handful of dry straw in his left hand, he slowly moved to He Fang and looked at her eagerly.
He Fang turned her head and was startled by the child standing next to her. She rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "Don't you know that scaring people can kill them?"
Yun Mian raised her hands in front of her eyes and said softly, "I'm sorry, sister, but I don't know how to light the fire. I tried to light it several times but it suddenly went out..."
He Fang rolled her eyes again and wanted to scold her for being stupid, but she was afraid that she would be beaten for not preparing the meal early, so she could only grab the things in Yun Mian's hand and walked to the stove angrily.
Yun Mian knew that she had caused trouble for this young lady. Although she was still a little unfamiliar with this world, she still followed her obediently and tried to learn how to make a fire seriously.
Uncle System said that she would have to stay in this world for many, many days and could not leave until she completed her mission.
So even though Yun Mian didn't know anything and had just been beaten, she still had to stay and repeat what this body could do.
"Don't put out the fire again, or you won't be able to eat, okay?" He Fang added a few more pieces of firewood to the burning stove, then stood up and glared at her troublesome sister fiercely.
Yun Mian nodded obediently. She was not angry even though she was scolded. Instead, she gave her a small smile: "I know. Thank you, sister~"
Although the child looked pale and thin, her eyes were bright black when she smiled, and her voice was soft, making her seem obedient and gentle. He Fang's original irritability inexplicably disappeared a lot when she saw her sister's little smile.
But she still gave Yunmian a cold look, turned around, stood in front of the stove, tiptoed, put her hand into the iron pot, and used her hand to test the temperature above the pot.
Yun Mian sat on a small wooden stake. The orange-red flames that kept jumping in the stove reflected on her body, making her dark pupils glow with some orange. It seemed as if there was a small cluster of flames that would never go out in each of her eyes.
It's summer now, and it's very hot sitting in front of the stove all the time, but compared to my sister He Fang, this job is actually the easiest.
Yun Mian held a thin stick of firewood in his hand and gently scraped the ashes at his feet, while with his other hand he covered his painful leg and stared blankly.
"Uncle System, was that my mother just now?" Yun Mian was still most concerned about the figure in the cowshed.
The system stopped by the stove and answered her: "Mianmian, that is your mother, your only mother."
Just like the first world, it transmitted the plot of this world to Yunmian.
The five-year-old child didn’t know that, unlike all previous mission worlds, this mission world was not the second round.
"Uncle, what does infinite game mean?" Yun Mian encountered an obstacle at the first step in browsing the plot.
“It literally means there is no end, but in this world, this is a survival escape game, and every level is dangerous for the player.”
The system gave a general explanation, and Yunmian listened to it confusedly. As for whether the explanation was accurate or whether she could fully understand it, Yiren Yitong didn't care too much.
Yunmian continued to look through the plot.
She was in a novice level of an infinite game called "The Mountain That Can't Be Escaped."
The protagonist is Xie Jinan, a new player who has just entered the game.
The world where Yunmian is located is the first novice copy that Xie Jinan enters. She will get the most perfect S rating in this copy, and use this lottery to open her first golden finger in the infinite game, which will help her survive life-and-death crises in future levels, allowing her to turn danger into safety and eventually become the first chosen person in the entire infinite world to successfully reach the top and check and balance the infinite world.
In this level, Xie Jinan will meet one of his teammates who can work together to overcome difficulties, and will also witness the crisis and cruelty of the infinite game.
In such a long story, Yunmian tried hard to find herself and her mother for a long time.
Yun Jinxing's death became the reason why Xie Jinan discovered the truth of this copy. Yun Mian, who lost her mother, turned evil and became the most hidden little boss of this copy. Later, Xie Jinan helped Yun Mian quell the sin of this village and left this world with Yun Mian's blessing.
The dead branch in Yun Mian's hand was ignited by the flames, but she was unaware of it and just stared blankly at the line of words in her mind.
Yun Jinxing's death became the source for Xie Jinan to discover the hidden truth in the copy.
The death of Yunjinxing...
My mother's name is Yunjin, and the mother of Yunmian in this world is named Yunjinxing.
"Uncle System." The child threw the dead branch into the ash pile, tears falling uncontrollably: "I don't want my mother to die, can you help me save her?"
System: "Mianmian, I'm sorry, you can only rely on yourself."
According to the plot, Yun Jinxing was supposed to die in three days.
The He family secretly transported the body to the back mountain to avoid the players and buried it in a random pit. As a result, it was accidentally discovered by the players who went to the back mountain to explore...
Hearing this, Yun Mian lowered her head and wiped away her tears, revealing a pair of red eyes from crying.
Mianmian can’t keep crying. She has to save her mother. There are only three days left. She must protect her mother and not let her die.
The child, with tears in his eyes, encouraged himself in his heart while trying hard to think about how he could rescue his mother.
Mom is tied up with a rope, and you need to help her untie it.
My mother only eats a meal once every few days, so she must be very hungry. She needs to eat a full meal before she can walk.
Mother……
"Yunmian, go call Dad and the others to come back for dinner." The aroma of food gradually spread from the kitchen. After He Fang gave Yunmian instructions, she stood on tiptoe and laboriously but skillfully lifted the lid of the pot to prepare to serve the food.
dad……
This is another word that is particularly unfamiliar to Yunmian.
She stood up. Her small stature was not even as tall as the stove. She stood on tiptoe to glance at her sister who was moving swiftly, then turned around and ran out obediently.
Mianmian is not a stupid child. After being beaten once, she knows that as a child she cannot have conflicts with adults, so before trying to find a way to rescue her mother, she must first listen to them obediently so as not to get beaten.
But Yunmian would never call out the word "Dad".
She ran to the house where He Yonghong was playing mahjong, opened the curtain and ran over, and waited until he won the cards in his hand before she spoke softly: "Sister has prepared the meal, do you want to go home and eat?"
He Yonghong was enjoying his win, and when he heard this, he waved his hands impatiently: "Get lost, you little bitch, don't get close to me, don't let my luck on the cards get rotten!"
"The home-cooked food..." Yun Mian secretly took two small steps back.
Sure enough, He Yonghong turned hostile in an instant, staring at her with a gloomy expression: "You don't understand what I'm saying, right? Leave the rice in the pot, and get the hell out of here!"
Yunmian turned and ran.
The system stayed behind her, spat at the man twice angrily, and followed the host away.
"Mianmian, are you okay?" The system was a little worried that the child might cry because of the scolding, so it ran out and wiped its tears secretly.
Yunmian shook her head vigorously in the warm summer wind. The sunlight fell on the child's eyelids. She whispered, "Uncle, I miss my mother..."
Mom would never call Mianmian a little bastard, nor would she tell her to get out.
The system silently squatted on Yunmian's thin shoulders and said softly: "Mianmian, this world is very difficult..."
Yunmian didn’t understand how difficult it was.
Her idea was simple and pure: to protect her mother and not let her die.
Before rescuing her mother, Yunmian could endure any hardship or beating her mother had to endure.
At the dinner table, there was only a bowl of sauerkraut porridge in Yunmian's bowl. There was no rice to be seen, and there were not many dishes either, mostly rice soup. There was a small dish of chopped pickles on the table.
In fact, some food was cooked. When Yunmian was making a fire, she saw her sister He Fang fried bacon and potatoes. However, because He Yonghong and He Jiarong did not come back for dinner, the two remaining girls and He Guizhi were not allowed to touch their dishes.
Yun Mian glanced at the rice in the three people's bowls.
He Guizhi's bowl had the most and thickest soup, while her and her sister's bowls had the same soup.
Yunmian finished the meal quietly, then helped her sister pick up the dishes and went to the kitchen, standing by and watching her wash the dishes.
He Guizhi has gone to work in the fields. She is the only adult laborer in the family, so she has almost no time to rest all day.
After she left and He Fang finished washing the dishes, Yun Mian reached out and held He Fang's hand to prevent her from leaving.
"What are you going to do now?" He Fang felt that her sister was particularly annoying today and had a lot of things to do.
"Sister, I'm hungry~" Yun Mian raised her face and whispered, "I want to eat a little more, can I?"
"Are you crazy?!" He Fang frowned in shock and anger: "If you are discovered, you will definitely be beaten to death!"
Yunmian slowly squatted down at her feet, covered her empty stomach with her hands, huddled up into a small ball with her head down, and said sullenly: "But Dahuang can eat a lot of rice..."
Dahuang is the dog tied with an iron chain outside the house. He is very fierce. The bowl of rice that Dahuang just ate is thicker than that of Yunmian and He Fang combined.
"How can you compare yourself to a dog?" He Fang blurted out, "Even if we were sold, we would not be as valuable as Da Huang."
"..." Yun Mian looked up at her blankly, as if she didn't expect to hear such words.
The child hugged himself unconsciously, frowned and whispered back, "But... we are human beings."
Children are so precious. Mom said that every child is the most precious treasure to his or her parents. How could it be that... two children sold are not worth as much as one rhubarb?
He Fang lowered her head and looked down at her little sister, who was lying in a ball at her feet. Her tone was the numb calm that she had long been accustomed to: "What's wrong with being a human? Men and women are different. We are money-losing goods. It's a great blessing that we were not pushed into the water and drowned when we were born."
But even after saying this, looking at her sister's skinny appearance, He Fang pursed her lips, took out another small bowl, and carefully scooped some porridge mixed with rice and vegetables from the pot.
She looked at the rice in the bowl and swallowed, then stuffed it into Yunmian's hand and said dryly, "Eat it, finish it quickly and wash the bowl yourself. I have to go to the fields to help grandma work. Don't let anything slip, or we will both be beaten to death."
Yun Mian held the warm bowl in her hands, squatted on the ground, looked up at her with bright eyes, and nodded vigorously after being instructed. She looked very well-behaved.
"Thank you, sis. I'll eat it secretly so the bad guys won't see it."
Mianmian: Sister, I’m hungry, I want to eat~
