So it wasn't until the system released the task that evening that Wenxi remembered there was such a thing.
She quickly checked her status and then clicked 'teleport'.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a deep mountain that blocked out the sky, and the air inside was slightly cool, not cold, but rather quite pleasant. It seemed to be summer here as well.
Wenxi walked toward the arrow with suspicion, but unexpectedly, the arrow ended at a cave, from which came the intermittent sobbing of a woman.
"Is anyone there?" It would be very impolite to barge in, so Wenxi called out deliberately.
Then a weathered-looking man came out. Wen Xi was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What happened here?"
Before the man could answer, a woman carrying one child and leading another walked out from inside. She knelt before Wenxi and pleaded, "Girl, please, have mercy and save my daughter! She's hit her head and is bleeding a lot. My in-laws are heartless. We've knelt and begged them, but they refuse to treat our child and won't split the family property. They're just dragging us along, which is why our family has hidden in this cave..."
Wen Xi squatted down and examined the little girl in the woman's arms. There was a frightening hole on her forehead, and her face was pale and bloodless, with dried blood on her forehead.
Wenxi glared angrily at the man, "What kind of father are you? What about your work points? Don't you know to exchange them for money to pay for the child's medical treatment? You're just running away like this, aren't the work points going to benefit those bad people? Are you just going to feed the bad guys like this?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." the man muttered beside him.
"If you are treated unfairly, you should fight back instead of dragging your wife and children down with you. This is not filial piety, it is stupidity. Your child is about to die, and you still leave the work points to your family. Your wife and child are really too miserable to have a husband and father like you."
While cursing, Wen Xi took the little girl from her, pretending to treat her wounds, and then secretly fed her a life-saving pill. "What a coincidence today, I just happened to be on the mountain digging for herbs, otherwise your daughter would have died like this. Don't you parents feel guilty? Don't you feel guilty? Why won't the village help you? Aren't there any police? Aren't there any leaders in the commune? Is there no law in this world?"
The woman said with tears streaming down her face, "Girl, thank you. We were just desperate and thought of running away. We will definitely find someone to help us get justice after we get down the mountain. We can't live like this anymore."
“You don’t have to wait until you get down the mountain.” Wenxi looked at the man with a serious expression. “You go down the mountain now and say that the child is dead and you want to avenge the child. Take a few people down with you. Go crazy and scare them with a knife. Cut off all ties first. If you don’t succeed in cutting off ties, don’t come back.”
His daughter is dying, yet he doesn't even know how to seek justice for her. This little girl is unlucky to have such a weak father. Now I've taught him a method, and I hope he can succeed!
The man nodded, put on a tragic expression, and then quickly left.
Wenxi wasn't a doctor after all. She said that digging for herbs was just a pretext to explain her appearance. She didn't know how to treat the little girl's head wound, so she could only clean the area around the wound. It would be better to go down the mountain to see a doctor later.
Seeing the little girl's eyelids twitch and then slowly open her eyes, the girl's mother was overjoyed, "Little Grass, you're awake, Little Grass..."
"What a strange name!" Wen Xi frowned.
"It's because the child's grandmother said that a humble name would make the child easier to raise," the woman said weakly.
“If you don’t value your own daughter and allow others to mistreat her, how can others possibly value her? If you had been more assertive from the beginning, who would have dared to bully you like this? When parents are weak, their children suffer.”
If she had a daughter, she would go directly to the door and fight anyone who dared to bully her daughter like that. She would never be so weak as to allow others to bully her daughter.
Although she may not actually have it, that's her attitude.
"Mommy, it hurts," the little grass murmured.
Wenxi took a lollipop out of her pocket and put it in her mouth, hoping the sweetness would help relieve the pain in her wound. Seeing the little boy looking at her expectantly, Wenxi also peeled a lollipop for him. She kept the wrapper for herself, afraid that someone would find out something was wrong.
She bought the lollipops from the supermarket near Qin Mi's house. A whole jar cost several tens of yuan and contained hundreds of lollipops, which was good for passing the time.
"From now on, you must protect your sister well and not let anyone bully her, understand?" Wenxi instructed.
Some people are very selfish, thinking that their younger sister is there to steal their resources and they won't protect her. But some people are different, like her second brother. He never thinks she's there to share their father's and mother's love or to steal their resources. On the contrary, he loves her just as selflessly.
Even when she was little, her second brother, though small, loved and cared for her like a little adult.
Seeing that her daughter was being held by Wenxi, the woman turned around and went back to the cave to cook. Although the family of four had escaped to the mountain, they had brought some necessities with them. After all, they planned to stay on the mountain and not come down, because they did not want to see the faces of their parents-in-law and those who had bullied them again.
Soon, the aroma of potatoes filled the cave.
The little boy smelled it and couldn't help but swallow. Although eating potatoes every day wasn't very tasty, potatoes were the only food they could eat now. The family's work points were all shared, and the grain was also distributed together. The fine grains had long been monopolized by his grandparents, and they couldn't even see a single grain of rice. It was good enough that they could eat potatoes.
The child's mother poked the potato with chopsticks and found that it was easy to break apart, knowing that the potato was cooked. She then scooped it out, put it in a bowl, and served it.
"Young lady, please have some potatoes too. Thank you for today." The woman brought over the potatoes and placed them in front of Wenxi.
Wenxi took one and handed it to the little boy, then took one for herself. She ate one potato from each of them, and when she left, she gave them some extra coarse grains so as not to take advantage of them, since they had a hard life too.
The potatoes had been washed, so Wenxi didn't peel them and ate them directly. Unexpectedly, these boiled potatoes were soft and fluffy, with a unique flavor.
"Thank you, the potatoes are delicious," Wen Xi said with a smile.
