Chapter 15
Lu Xiaobai has been spoiled since childhood. He has never done any rough work at home, not even watering flowers, let alone growing vegetables.
He used a stick to flatten the soil, stomped on it a few times, and pouted, "Okay, it won't be washed away even if it rains. Grow up quickly and let me see what kind of vegetable you are."
Seeing Lu Xiaobai's angry look, Ling Er smiled helplessly and said, "Sister-in-law, it won't grow like that."
"Why?"
Lu Xiaobai asked unconvincedly, it was his first time planting something and others told him that it wouldn’t grow?
Why can’t it grow out?
"Because the seeds are too fragile and the soil is too hard with no cracks, the seeds cannot grow."
"Oh~ Well, that's fine."
Lu Xiaobai used a stick to dig the seeds out of the mud, placed them at the edge and buried them. He also took two leaves as a mark to indicate that he had planted them.
After doing all this, Lu Xiaobai looked up and asked, "Are you okay now?"
Ling Er took a look and said with a smile: "Okay, but how come sister-in-law doesn't even understand these things? Did you really grow up in the Lu family?"
"Of course not..."
Lu Xiaobai covered his mouth halfway through his words, almost letting the words slip. He shook his head: "You're talking nonsense. I, how could I not understand? I just, I just forgot. I must have grown up here."
Ancient people were superstitious. They didn't dare to say that they were not from this world, for fear that others would mistake them for monsters and catch them and burn them to death.
Everyone could see that Lu Xiaobai was lying, but they all chose to ignore it. Ling Er pretended to understand: "Oh, so that's it."
Lu Xiaobai nodded quickly, his little head nodding quickly: "Yeah, that's it."
"oh"
Seeing that Ling Er believed it, Lu Xiaobai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and planned to go back to his room. He couldn't help outside anyway and might say the wrong thing, so he might as well go back to sleep.
Lu Xiaobai stood up and walked back cautiously like a thief, but just after taking a step, he heard a mechanical voice: "Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for successfully "planting a seed" to trigger the plant growth system. Your system cabbage is now online."
Lu Xiaobai paused and turned around to look. Everyone was working hard on their work. No one was talking to him, let alone making that mechanical sound just now.
Lu Xiaobai stood there in a daze, thinking he was hallucinating. He curled his lips and muttered softly, "It's too hard here. I'm hallucinating even when I want to go home. It's so annoying!!"
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand to wipe away his tears and lowered his head, completely unaware that as soon as he said this, everyone around him stopped what they were doing, even He Qin at the kitchen door frowned.
Everyone had the same thought in their mind: Lu Xiaobai did not grow up in Lujia Village.
However, Lu Xiaobai, who had average hearing, had no idea that they heard him and walked into the room with a pout.
But after a few steps, the voice appeared again: "Hello host, I am Xiaobaicai."
Lu Xiaobai stopped again and looked back at the vegetable garden.
"It's not an illusion. I'm the system, in your mind. Aren't you a modern person? How come you don't even know about the system?"
"System?"
Lu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then burst into ecstasy. He turned around and looked around. After making sure that no one noticed his abnormality, he hurried into the room.
How could he not know about the system? Many people traveled through time because of the system. Now that he also has the system, does it mean that he can go back?
Lu Xiaobai climbed onto the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and began to communicate with the system.
He Qin stood at the door, looking at the bulge in the quilt on the bed, and glanced at the vegetable garden with some disgust. He always felt that Lu Xiaobai had buried his IQ in the soil, and no matter what he did, it was stupid.
Lu Xiaobai was so happy that his nose felt sore. He lay in bed and asked aggrievedly, "Xiao Baicai, are you here to take me home? Please take me away quickly. I really can't stand it!"
Xiao Baicai was stunned by Lu Xiaobai's question right from the start. After a long pause, she said, "Uh...but, but I'm a plant growth system. I don't know how to send you back~"
Can't go home?
Lu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Then you, then what are you doing here?"
Xiaobaicai: "I'll help you answer questions about plant growth and other issues!"
What?
Lu Xiaobai's head buzzed, as if he couldn't hear anything. He asked blankly, "Just answer the question?"
Xiaobaicai: "Yeah, yeah...right."
Xiao Baicai felt like she was being disliked. The more she spoke, the less confident she became, and her voice became smaller and smaller.
Sure enough, Lu Xiaobai exploded as soon as it finished speaking, crying and yelling: "Then why are you calling me Xiaobaicai? You can't even send me home, and you still call me Xiaobaicai? You are mocking me for being a vegetable, you are mocking me for not knowing anything, go away, I don't want you, wuwuwuwu..."
Little White Cabbage was stunned for a moment: "I, I, I'm not mocking you, my virtual appearance is just a white cabbage seed, I, I..."
"I don't care, you're just mocking me, I don't want it, go away..."
In Lu Xiaobai's eyes, the system is a high-end thing. When Xiaobaicai suddenly appeared, he thought he could go home. But in the end, it could only answer questions about plant growth. What's the use of it?
Lu Xiaobai went from being full of hope to being full of despair, and finally he lay helplessly on the bed, beating his chest and stamping his feet, grabbing the quilt and crying loudly without caring about his image.
Lu Xiaobai didn't know why, but the appearance of Xiaobaicai made him feel that he could never go back and he would have to stay in this unknown and poor place forever.
Xiao Baicai was frightened. Lu Xiaobai didn't like it, so it went offline immediately.
Although He Qin outside the door didn't understand what was going on, he could guess that Lu Xiaobai's crying was probably related to his identity. He couldn't accept this kind of place.
He Qin looked at the earthenware bowl in his hand that replaced the porcelain cup, and didn't understand why Lu Xiaobai couldn't stand it. Isn't it good to live a quiet life here away from those troublesome disputes?
But in Lu Xiaobai's eyes, it was really bad. He didn't want to live here and he just wanted to go home.
Lu Xiaobai cried for a long time, but no one cared about him, and System Xiaobaicai ignored him too. He felt so aggrieved that he cried himself to sleep.
He Qin walked forward and pulled back the quilt, revealing Lu Xiaobai's head, then turned and walked out the door.
"Zero One."
Lingyi had just come out of the pit and when he heard He Qin calling him, he immediately ran over.
"Go to the mountains and hunt some game, bring it back for everyone to see, and then take it to town to sell tomorrow."
Lingyi has been He Qin's confidant for so many years, and he knows what He Qin is going to do just by hearing He Qin say so.
They are worried that others will suspect that their money comes from illegal sources or that they have bad intentions, so they find a way to make money under everyone's noses. Then, even if the family has a lot of expenses, no one will feel it's abrupt.
Lingyi bowed and clasped his fists towards He Qin: "I obey your orders."
