------
...Li's father, who had been slashed to the ground by Zheng Meiniang, stared in disbelief at his bleeding right arm. He felt that Zheng Meiniang, with her lifeless eyes but brandishing the butcher's knife, was as terrifying as the Yama, the King of Hell.
"She's gone mad, she's gone mad!"
Despite the pain, Li's father covered his wound and looked up at Li Youfu, who was rushing over, and shouted, "Uncle Youfu, she's gone mad!"
She grabbed a knife and tried to slash me without even asking what happened!
"Quickly arrest her and lock her in the ancestral hall. She should be punished according to the clan rules..."
Zheng Meiniang felt her heart was bleeding. Her husband had been conscripted into the army, and her younger sister, whom she had raised since childhood, had been forced to commit suicide by Li's father!
Li's mother actually used that wood-chopping knife to stab herself in the neck. How much pain she must have been in!
Stone, who had been raised under Zheng Meiniang's watchful eye, was cruelly hanged by Li's mother, who was driven to desperation!
October, who was loved and protected by her aunt since childhood, died at the hands of refugees while trying to save her brother on the road to escape famine!
Zheng Meiniang harbored far too much hatred in her heart!
If she hadn't been restrained, she would have killed Li's father on the spot!
Hearing Li's father shouting, Zheng Meiniang was filled with rage. She used all her strength to break free from the two villagers who were holding her down, and then, based on the direction of Li's father, she ran towards him!
She's going to kill him! To avenge Li's mother!
"You unfilial, disrespectful, inhumane, and unjust wretch!"
I'm going to kill you!
"I'll kill you to atone for Chunniang's life!"
Blind Zheng Meiniang was eventually stopped in her tracks. She was forced to kneel on the ground. Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian tried to help, but were also restrained by the other villagers.
"ah!
Heaven is unjust!
How could they allow such filthy creatures to live!
"God, open your eyes and look! Quickly send down a bolt of lightning and strike him dead!"
No matter how much hatred Zheng Meiniang felt, she couldn't command the heavens to strike down a bolt of lightning. Although Li Youfu didn't lock Zheng Meiniang and her two daughters in the ancestral hall, he did find a couple to guard the house where they lived.
Seeing his father's state, Li Youfu felt saddened by the deaths of Li Chunniang, Shitou, and Li Wangming, as they were all children he had watched grow up.
But what could he do?
Finally, Li Youfu forced his father to hand over the silver so that Zheng Meiniang could properly bury Li's mother and Shitou.
That's the only way to leave it at that.
One day, Li Chunli, the female protagonist of the original novel, who was picking mushrooms on the mountain, accidentally discovered the male protagonist of the original novel collapsed on the hillside, wounded by an arrow. After Li Chunli returned home and called Li Shigui, the two of them worked together to bring the young man, dressed in brocade clothes and clearly a noble young master, back home...

Upon seeing this, Li Shiyue frantically scrolled down, but there was nothing there.
"Goodness, every time they only reveal a tiny bit of the plot that hasn't happened yet!"
System! System! Can you be a little more generous? If you want me to know the original plot so I can complete the missions properly, then reveal more of the story!
What about the bottom?
Who is the male protagonist in the original book?
What kind of young master?
And then? What's next?
No matter how loudly Li Shiyue shouted or pleaded in the system space, the system's electronic voice did not ring out.
After carefully flipping through the pages and reviewing the plot details revealed so far twice, Li Shiyue finally felt comfortable opening the "Exchange" section again to see what good items she could exchange her current points for.
"I'd better just look at these high-end, colorful silks and brocades, and those painless and effective pills that could definitely make a fortune.
Although I gained immense strength from taking the fertility pill, according to what Old Man Liu said, Liu Family Village is really not peaceful.
Chaos is approaching, and force will prevail. I can protect myself, but I still have my family!
"Look around, see if there's any sword technique or move that can kill enemies. I have a feeling that things aren't going to be peaceful from now on."
Li Shiyue spent at least half an hour flipping through the pages, and you know what? The upgraded system has a lot of great stuff.
Li Shiyue even found one that said "10,000 catties per mu, high-quality seed yield per catty"!
You'd never guess how many points this superior breed requires!
9,999,999 points!
One cent short of ten million!
"How could I have accumulated so many points?"
"Keep dreaming."
Scrolling past this page and continuing to turn down, Li Shiyue suddenly stopped on this page.
"An embroidery needle from Dongfang Bubai?"
"Wait, system, you even have Jin Yong's martial arts novel 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' here?"
Li Shiyue was about to laugh. Why did this broken system always do such abstract things?
"Could it be that there's a 'Sunflower Manual'?"
She was already internally complaining, but to her surprise, the system actually answered her question this time!
"Host, it is indeed true!"
If the host completes the mission quickly, upgrades the system, and becomes a favored concubine, they will receive even more rewards!
Li Shiyue was somewhat surprised. Could it be that, besides the system she transmigrated into, other systems and their hosts might be in martial arts worlds? Interstellar worlds? Or post-apocalyptic worlds?
"System, come out here and explain yourself in detail."
No matter how many questions Li Shiyue asked, the system would not respond.
Therefore, Li Shiyue had no choice but to put the problem aside for the time being and first take a look at the exchange points under the silver embroidery needle on the page—666 points.
Then, she looked down at the small print that read: "This embroidery needle comes with an improved version of the 'Sunflower Manual.' Once mastered, it allows one to move as swiftly as Dongfang Bubai and subdue the enemy from ten paces away."
Li Shiyue, she's smitten!
First of all, these points are cheap. If you buy this, you can still have some left over for emergencies, or you can look through them later to see if there are any other high-value items you can redeem.
Secondly, Liujiatun is under the control of the Mohe barbarians, who are all soldiers and not as easy to deal with as the refugees encountered on the road to escape famine.
Even if Li Shiyue had strength, that was all she had. Her strength was immense compared to that of an ordinary person, but it wasn't boundless.
Li Shiyue still had the fertility pills she received from the gift package, but she dared not take any more.
The villagers of Lijia Village still don't know where the rice troughs are.
You should stop taking the fertility pills until you are sure you have enough to eat.
Therefore, Li Shiyue needs a cultivation technique, movement technique, or sword technique, something that would allow her to unleash her immense strength and use it more efficiently.
Thus, this "embroidery needle from Dongfang Bubai," which comes with a technique that allows one to cultivate extremely fast movement speed—the "Sunflower Manual"—isn't this the best choice for her at this moment?
Li Shiyue hesitated for a moment. She wondered if if she continued to look through the pages, she might find something better, cheaper, and more suitable for her current situation.
But this hesitation was only momentary. "Grasp what you can grasp right now!"
The Mohe barbarians are right in front of us, the future is unpredictable, and there's that noble young master-like male lead. Who knows how the original plot of the male and female leads will unfold in the future?
I need to arm myself first!
"That's it!"
Li Shiyue immediately clicked the "Exchange" button. After a loud clatter of gold coins, sure enough, when Li Shiyue looked at the upper left corner of the virtual screen, "787" had changed to "121".
"Spending money is so fast, it doesn't even take a second."
It took me a lot of tasks and even risking my life to accumulate these few points.
This time it was all spent in one go, it really hurt!
