Chapter 191
The system changed its answer and said, "Snakes are very scary. Many snakes are poisonous. If you are bitten by a snake, you may be poisoned to death within half an hour."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Mian immediately clenched the long branch, and her whole body tensed up slightly.
Along the way, she demonstrated to the system what it meant to "fear death and cherish life" with her own actions.
Not only did he use long branches to beat the grass, he also filled a small bag of gravel with folded leaves and threw the stones one by one at places where the branches could not reach. Only after he was sure that there was no movement would he walk over carefully.
It is the beginning of summer now, the season when there are many snakes. In rural areas, there is no distinction between poisonous and non-poisonous snakes. They have almost no natural enemies and may appear in any grass or tree branch.
In this way, Yunmian actually scared away two snakes along the way with branches and stones.
However, when she looked at the two snakes winding around, she was not afraid, but had a very complicated look, as if she felt pity, was in a daze, and was also a little eager to try.
Fortunately, the system had the foresight to remind her that both snakes were poisonous, so the brave child restrained her eager claws.
Later, with the help of Uncle System, Yunmian found several more edible things.
A kind of red fruit the size of a soybean that is very sour and astringent, a kind of berry that grows in a pile of thorns in the mountains, and a few wood ear mushrooms lying on a rotten tree trunk.
The small leaf bag that Yunmian used to hold stones at the beginning was filled up with these novel foods. However, she was reluctant to eat more of them herself. Instead, she carefully wrapped the fruits that could be eaten immediately with another large leaf and put them away.
"I need to take this back for Mom to eat." Facing Uncle System's doubts, Yun Mian held two leaf bags and said softly, "Mom hasn't eaten for a long time. If she's hungry, her body will have no strength. We need to find more food for her. Only when she's full will we have the strength to escape."
Yunmian herself had experienced the feeling of being hungry. Her hands and feet felt weak, and she felt dizzy when she walked. Her vision was dark and she was prone to fainting.
She didn't know that it was not just because she was hungry, but also because she had a poor physical constitution and was suffering from malnutrition due to weak qi and blood. She simply magnified her own feeling of hunger many times and imagined her mother's situation.
I feel so uncomfortable after just going hungry for a meal, and my mother has been hungry for so long... Yunmian feels so distressed just by thinking about it.
If Uncle System hadn't said that those snakes were poisonous and that people wouldn't survive more than half an hour after being bitten, Yun Mian would have caught the two snakes just now and then secretly released them at night to bite those bad guys who hurt her mother!
Yunmian is not afraid of being bitten by a poisonous snake, but she is afraid that she will not be able to save her mother.
So I can only give up this idea temporarily with regret.
Well, temporarily.
No bad guy can hurt mom. Even if Yunmian cannot avenge mom now, when she grows up, she will run back and tie up all those bad guys with chains, then not give them food, and put lots of snakes around them to scare them to death!
The system had no idea about the slightly dark thoughts in Yun Mian's mind, nor did it know how timely its intervention was. Otherwise, it would have been waiting to die silently with the child who was bitten by the snake.
Yunmian returned the same way carrying two leaf bags.
When passing by the sweet grass stalks, she stopped and broke several stalks before coming out of the woods.
Yunmian wrapped the leaf bag containing the fruits in several more layers and secretly hid it together with the sweet grass stalks in a haystack outside the cowshed. Then she took the other leaf bag home.
As soon as she got home, Grandma He Guizhi was waiting for her with a broom in hand and a gloomy face.
The other person strode closer with a broom in hand. Yun Mian's pupils shrank slightly. Before she spoke, she raised the leaf bag in her hand and shouted loudly: "Grandma! I went to find a lot of food!"
He Fang, who had been watching quietly nearby, came over and took the leaf bag from Yun Mian's hand, opening it layer by layer to reveal the familiar edible wood ear mushrooms, wild vegetables, etc.
How much food can a five-year-old find? A leaf bag is all it takes, and even if you add it all together, you probably can't even add another dish to the table.
But He Fang looked down and turned back to He Guizhi and said, "Grandma, these wood ear mushrooms my sister found can be used to make egg soup for my brother and dad tonight."
He Fangyuan, who has lived in this family for nine years, is more experienced than Yunmian. She knows that the outcome of this matter will be very different if her younger brother and father, the only two men in the family, are involved.
Sure enough, He Guizhi stood on the steps and looked down at the sparse wild vegetables. She stared at Yunmian harshly for a moment, threw the broom in her hand far in front of Yunmian, and said coldly: "Next time if you dare to go out, I will break your legs. Let's see if you dare to run out again!"
After saying that, she instructed He Fang to go to the top of the mountain behind the house to lead the cow back to the cowshed and tie it up, and asked Yun Mian to take a broom and quickly sweep the house inside and out.
As Yun Mian clumsily swept the main room with a broom, she could smell the aroma of food coming from inside without having to turn her head.
He Yonghong and He Jiarong, who had just returned from school, were sitting at the dining table eating.
They ate the dishes that He Fang had cooked at noon. Yunmian could only smell the food but couldn't even look at it.
Yun Mian only glanced at the room twice with the corner of her eye and then quickly lowered her head. After swallowing her saliva with a slight movement of her throat, she couldn't help but secretly frowned when she thought of the food she had secretly hidden.
When they all fell asleep at night, I would secretly take the fruits to give to my mother to eat.
Mom must have never eaten the sweet grass stalks, they are tender, crispy and so easy to chew.
Except for Sister He Fang, everyone in this family is a bad guy. They bully Mom. Mian Mian doesn’t envy them for being able to eat well and have enough food. When Mom comes out, Mian Mian can eat better with Mom!!
She kept persuading her children to sweep the floor, but they were very perfunctory. Anyway, it was getting dark, and the house was never really clean. Yunmian was openly slacking off, sweeping the floor to kill time while looking forward to the arrival of night.
Wait until night when you feed Guoguo to mom and take a nap, then those players will appear.
When the players' brothers and sisters appear, they can rescue their mother.
Just as he was thinking, He Jiarong, who was eating inside, came out. He casually glanced at his sister Yunmian, raised his slightly fat chin, stood in front of the main room door and said arrogantly: "Hey, you little girl, we're done eating, come and collect the dishes and wash them."
Yunmian turned a deaf ear.
She didn't mean to ignore it, but she didn't react.
Her mother always called her Mianmian baby and little Mianhua, but Yunmian had never heard anyone call her a dead girl.
Yunmian's soul and memory have completely replaced her original self, so when she heard this name, her first reaction was: This kid is so rude!
Moreover, she was afraid of the bad old woman who liked to beat people with a stick, and she was afraid of the strong He Yonghong, but she was not afraid of He Jiarong who was older than her.
So when Yunmian realized that he was calling her a dead girl, the kid walked towards him aggressively with a broom in his hand.
After taking a quick look, Yun Mian realized that He Jiahong had gone to the toilet, and He Guizhi had gone to mix pig food. Yun Mian felt relieved and yelled back at the child in front of her: "Didn't your teacher teach you to do things on your own? I won't pick up or wash the dishes for you. If you call me next time, I'll beat you!"
Yun Mian imitated He Guizhi and raised the broom in her hand high, and even stood on tiptoe to make herself a little taller and more imposing.
He Jiarong was stunned by her yelling at first, and when he came to his senses, his face was full of disbelief, and he looked surprised, as if he thought he was deaf.
He looked at Yunmian, then at the broom in Yunmian's hand, and finally pointed at himself and asked blankly: "Are you talking to me?"
Yun Mian poked his bulging belly with the broom, and when he saw him stepping back in a hurry, he nodded confidently: "Yes, I have a name, and I won't call you a dead girl. You are rude, lazy, bully children, and eat alone..."
After complaining about the other person's shortcomings, Yun Mian said firmly: "You are the most annoying kid in the world!"
After saying that, he stuffed the broom into the other person's hand, not caring about the other person's reaction or whether he would find someone to beat him up. He turned around and ran, and when he passed the dog, he hit it hard with the last stone in his pocket.
The plot says that when the players wanted to run away, they were found by these dogs.
Yunmian first hit the dog with a loan, causing the dog to bar its teeth and growl at her fiercely.
After she ran for some distance, Yun Mian squatted on the roadside, pulling weeds and getting angry with the family.
She had been planning to secretly hide the remaining vegetables when she went to collect the plates, but it didn't work. The remaining vegetables and oil had been mixed into the pig food by He Guizhi, leaving only empty plates and bowls waiting for Yunmian to wash.
The five-year-old child looked at the setting sun in the sky, listened to the barking of dogs and the crying of children behind him, and heard He Guizhi's scolding. He pursed his lips and pulled hard at the grass at his feet.
Bad guys, bad guys, all bad guys!
Every household has a dog, and every household is a bad guy!
"Uncle System, I'm going to be beaten again..."
The child was not unfamiliar with the consequences of his impulsiveness. After all, it had happened many times in his memory. Almost every time Yun Mian was beaten, it was mostly because of a conflict with He Jiarong.
But because she was beaten so often, Yunmian became more obedient. She suppressed her dissatisfaction and resentment and learned to follow her sister's example so that she would be beaten less often.
But now that her soul has changed, the emotions that Yun Mian had suppressed deep in her bones are beginning to stir and burst out.
The system watched the host accurately explode He Jiarong, the lifeblood of the He family, and watched the host smash a stone on Dahuang's head and finally fall into its dog bowl. At this moment, listening to the host's "prophecy", the system could not help but sigh.
If you, a five-year-old kid, can know the result, how could I not know it?
Not only can I not help you, but you yourself can't help either.
Yunmian pulled at the grass for a while, and then listened to He Guizhi cursing and threatening to beat her to death when she got back. Her face fell, and she mumbled, "Uncle, why are there no good people in this village?"
No one can save my mother, and she can only rely on outsiders like the players. Even if the players come, they will use my mother's death to reveal the truth.
Yunmian hates this village and everyone here.
Yunmian did not insist that the system give an accurate answer. The child asked whatever he thought of and spent the time here from the evening to the nightfall.
She had no dinner. The two girls were not entitled to light the fire and cook for themselves when the men at home had just finished their meal. Usually in such situations, they could only endure hunger all night and wait for breakfast the next day.
There will be another chapter updated in the evening.
