This trip to the grove left both of them drenched in sweat.
Lu Shiyan did not lie down as before, but instead struggled to continue his cultivation.
Although this world has only a meager amount of spiritual energy, making it impossible to cultivate into an immortal, his abilities should be sufficient to strengthen his body.
He never wanted that embarrassing situation to happen again.
Lu Shiyan quickly got into the zone, and the faint spiritual energy from all directions surged towards him, healing his wounds.
Jiang Tangtang squinted, panting as she sized up Lu Shiyan. His posture looked just like someone meditating in a cultivation novel! Could he be cultivating?
Jiang Tangtang pulled out the system again to ask questions, but whenever it came to the male lead's identity or cultivation, the system refused to answer her questions on the grounds that they were beyond its capabilities. Sometimes it would even pretend to be dead and completely ignore her.
Although she didn't receive a reply from the system, Jiang Tangtang felt that the male protagonist was definitely cultivating.
I wonder if, once he has mastered his cultivation, he will be able to fly and disappear into the earth like the male protagonist in cultivation novels who can command the wind and rain.
It doesn't matter if she can fly or teleport, she'd be satisfied if you could cast a cleansing spell on her to make her sweat disappear and leave her feeling refreshed.
Jiang Tangtang squinted at Lu Shiyan for a long time, deciding to find an opportunity to find out more about him and try to please the male lead when the time was right.
On the other side, Luo Taohua was also sizing up Lu Shiyan. She glanced at Lu Shiyan, who was sitting in a strange posture, and then looked at the skinny ox, her eyes darting around as if she were pondering something.
When Lu Shiwang returned, she immediately went to greet him. She was a little disappointed to see that the man had been wandering around on the mountain for so long and had only managed to pull up a handful of dry grass roots. But she quickly added, "Look, Third Brother can sit up now."
Lu Shiwang glanced at his younger brother and was genuinely happy, "It's a good thing that my third brother is getting better."
Luo Taohua looked at her husband expectantly, "Won't it be long before Third Brother is able to walk again?"
Lu Shiwang was very pleased that his wife had changed for the better and started to care about his third brother's injury. His gaze towards her softened considerably. "My third brother has always been healthy since he was a child. He even learned martial arts from Zhao the hunter in the mountains. I think he will recover soon. But we can't be careless. He needs to be carefully cared for."
As he spoke, he added with a hint of self-reproach, "It's also because I'm incompetent. I didn't catch any prey when I went into the mountains. If I had my third brother's skills, I could have hunted some prey to help him recover."
Luo Tiaohua cursed her husband in her heart for being such a fool. He caught prey and instead of using it to nourish his wife and children, he was thinking of using it to subsidize his mistress.
But since her husband hadn't caught anything, she didn't say much. She just took the grass root from his hand, wiped it casually on her clothes, and put it in her mouth to chew.
Tender cogongrass roots can be chewed to extract a small amount of juice, which has a slightly sweet taste.
This is a snack that the children in the village really like.
Because of the drought, the cogon grass roots that Lu Shiwang brought back had little moisture. But something was better than nothing, and Luo Taohua quickly finished one and started eating another.
"Mom, what are you eating? I want to eat too." Lu Jiahe, who was taking a nap under the tree, woke up groggily and saw Luo Taohua eating. He immediately perked up and sat up.
Luo Tiaohua shared some of the cogon grass roots in her hand with her youngest son.
As Lu Jiahe woke up, the other children in the Lu family also woke up one after another.
Luo Taohua was reluctant to part with the cogongrass roots in her hands, but they were her own flesh and blood after all. Even though she was reluctant, she still gave some to each of the children.
But she wasn't so kind to the children from the second wife's family who were staring at her expectantly. She quickly stuffed the remaining thatch roots into her bosom and took a few steps to the side.
"Mother, I want to eat too." Lu Jiaming looked at the children of the eldest son's family eating cogongrass roots and his mouth watered. He pitifully tugged at Zhou Qiongniang's clothes.
Seeing her youngest son's cracked lips, Zhou Qiongniang felt heartbroken and was also very angry at Luo Taohua's selfish behavior.
"Sister-in-law, you really do that. It's just a few grass roots, and you're hoarding them all by yourself."
Luo Taohua said, "My husband found this on the mountain under the scorching sun. If you want to eat it, have your husband go find some on the mountain."
Zhou Qiongniang's eyes reddened with anger. "Do you think my Shichang is lazy? Everyone has gone up the mountain. Who will guard our belongings? What if thieves come and steal our things?"
She had barely finished speaking when she heard a commotion of footsteps.
Luo Taohua's expression changed instantly.
Encountering people at this time is not a good thing; they might be refugees trying to rob you.
Zhou Qiongniang's face also turned pale. She didn't bother to argue with Luo Taohua and turned to protect the child and the family's luggage.
The other members of the Lu family also adopted a defensive posture.
Su looked anxiously in the direction Li Shi and the others had left, wondering why they hadn't returned after so long.
She was usually afraid of Li Shi and the two burly men who accompanied him, but now she hoped that they could be with her.
With at least a few of them around, if a conflict were to break out later, they would have a better chance of winning.
Jiang Tangtang nervously called out to the system in her mind, "Who is coming? Do they have weapons? I need weapons!"
Good heavens! I heard that refugees even eat human flesh. She's so pretty and delicate, what if she gets captured and eaten?
The system looked at its host, who was clearly a coward but constantly complained about giving up and acting like he was going to die, and was utterly speechless. [You don't have any weapons yet, but as long as you complete the missions properly, we can open a shop with a variety of weapons for you to choose from.]
Jiang Tangtang sobbed: [Stop saying all that useless stuff, just take out a loan to open the shop and give me a weapon, otherwise I'll be killed by the refugees and then you'll have no one to do your quests.]
This system does not accept monetary transactions, and you do not have any money to pay this system.
"Then what are you willing to accept? I can use other things to secure the loan."
[This system does not offer loans.] Even the system's emotionless, mechanical voice betrayed a hint of helplessness. [Host, don't panic. The refugees who have arrived will not pose a threat to your life.]
Jiang Tangtang immediately lay back down. [You should have said so earlier, you wasted my time.]
system:【……】
Amidst the Lu family's tense atmosphere, a group of raggedly dressed people finally arrived in front of them.
Lu Shiwang gripped the wood-chopping knife tightly in his hand, then suddenly exclaimed, "Father, look, isn't that my second sister?"
At the same time, the people on the other side also discovered their identities.
Lu Cuilan, sobbing, ran towards Old Man Lu and Madam Su, saying, "Brother and sister-in-law, I'm so glad to finally see you."
The villagers from Dawancun who followed behind the Fang family all wore expressions of joy.
Looking at his sister-in-law's family and the villagers who had lived in the same village for decades, the Lu family lowered their guard slightly.
Su pulled her sister-in-law aside and asked her about her journey, including whether she had met her two daughters who had married into other villages.
