"Ding ding, the system has detected a new task to be executed. Please check it: Resurrect the person inside the box and make him a bowl of shredded chicken and millet porridge."
Shen Danru cursed inwardly, "System, are you crazy? She's in danger herself, yet you're trying to protect others."
Having fallen from such a height, she doubted whether she could ever stand up again.
We're in the same boat, after all. I fell off such a high cliff and you didn't even lend a hand. Now that I'm dead, what's the point of this mission? Don't forget, once I die, you'll go into hibernation too.
Shen Danru felt a wave of fear wash over her and couldn't help but ramble on for a few more minutes.
"Please watch your words, host. Without my help, do you think you'd still be alive and well?"
After the system finished speaking, it fell silent and ignored her.
Shen Danru called it again but it didn't respond, it seemed to be angry.
Shen Danru: Hmph, so stingy.
She struggled to her feet, feeling as if her body was about to fall apart: "Ouch~ It hurts so much."
It feels like all my internal organs have shifted.
Her sixth sense told her that drinking the spiritual spring water could replenish her strength, so she scooped up a bowl of the remaining spiritual spring water from the system and gulped it down.
After resting for a while, the pain in my body was indeed gone.
Shen Danru got up and dusted herself off. The horse had fallen to its death, and the carriage was wrecked. She saw another carriage not far ahead, which should be the Qinglong Escort Agency's escort vehicle.
She walked to the caravan and circled it. The box was quite large; it was too big for two people to lift, and there were many small ventilation holes around it.
The system says there's someone inside. Could it be that the Qinglong Escort Agency is escorting a living person this time?
She went forward and tore off all the seals on the box, but the lock on it gave her a problem.
This lock is a special type; how can I open it?
Shen Danru picked up a stone and banged it a few times with all his might, but the lock didn't react.
She quickly ran out of strength.
She pressed her face against the small opening of the vent, squinting with one eye to look inside, but could see nothing.
Is anyone inside?
She couldn't help but kick it twice, but apart from the pain in her feet, the box didn't react at all.
The people inside must be dead.
After studying it for a long time, Shen Danru still couldn't figure out how to open the lock. She silently called out to the system, but the system didn't respond.
She slapped her forehead, exclaiming at her terrible memory.
The system once rewarded me with a master key; I wonder if it can open this door.
With a "click," the lock fell to the ground, and Shen Danru used all her strength to open the box, where she saw the man with a clear and gentle demeanor lying quietly.
One glance was enough to leave Shen Danru speechless.
Her white jade hair ornament and spotless crescent-white brocade robe, her sideburns perfectly sculpted, her facial features flawless, her thick, dark eyebrows like drawn swords, her long, thick eyelashes, and her well-defined lips made one want to take a sip. Even when she was asleep, she was so beautiful, truly a peerless beauty.
"Could this be a demon?"
Shen Danru checked his breath and immediately withdrew her hand in fright: "He's not breathing. It's a bit of a pity."
Unexpectedly, the shipment that Qinglong Escort Agency was transporting contained a dead body.
"System, system, you're really messing with me! You made me revive a dead person? You think too highly of me."
The sound disappeared without a trace, leaving only the deep, resonant voice of someone complaining.
Considering how handsome he is, let's bury him and let him rest in peace. It would be a good deed.
Shen Danru spent 1 point to buy a spatula from the system store and started digging a hole.
Two hours later, Shen Danru finally finished digging the pit after a great deal of effort. She dragged the man out and threw him into the pit. Seeing that one of the man's hands was still hanging outside the pit, she went over and helped him put his hand back in place.
"Go in peace, may you be reborn into a better life next time."
As Shen Danru scattered the soil, he silently recited a mantra.
Qi Shuoyu suddenly opened his eyes, his voice hoarse: "Are you going to bury me?"
Startled by the sudden sound, Shen Danru threw the dirt in her hand at Qi Shuoyu's face. She brushed the man's face away, feeling embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
No, isn't he already dead?
"Ah~ a ghost."
"I'm not dead yet," Qi Shuoyu said, frowning.
Shen Danru touched Qi Shuoyu's arm; it was warm, so it seemed that this man, like her, had simply fainted.
She breathed a sigh of relief and pointed upwards, saying, "You encountered an assassin. The carriage unfortunately plunged into the valley, and I fell down with you because of you. I saved you."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Danru blinked her long eyelashes and looked him over: "How did you end up in the box? Could the Qinglong Escort Agency be escorting your goods?"
Qi Shuoyu's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, his gaze turning fierce. He grabbed Shen Danru by the throat: "What do you know?"
The pressure on her hands grew heavier and heavier, and Shen Danru suddenly felt a sense of suffocation. She squeezed out a few words through her teeth: "I...don't...know...anything, cough~cough~cough."
She gripped Qi Shuoyu's arm tightly. Qi Shuoyu had just woken up and hadn't recovered his strength, so his hand quickly fell down.
Shen Danru touched the wound on her neck, panting heavily.
This man is terrifying; he doesn't look like himself at all. He grabs people by the neck at the drop of a hat.
She had been so kind as to bury him before.
Good intentions are misunderstood.
It seems she needs to stay away from this jerk; it's too dangerous.
Shen Danru quickly walked to a distance, only then did she feel much safer.
"Gurgle~ gurgle~" My stomach rumbled. I had been unconscious for three days and three nights, and I had just done so much physical labor. I was hungry.
She got up and looked around. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one side being a cave. It was dark and looked scary, so Shen Danru didn't dare to go in blindly.
With no way out, it seems we're going to be trapped at the bottom of this valley.
She picked up a few stones and quickly built two stoves. Seeing that the man in the distance was resting with his eyes closed and not looking at her, she spent 10 points from the system to buy kitchen utensils, 1 point to buy a pound of millet, and 2 points to buy a small rooster.
I checked and I have 248 points left.
I took out the vegetables and seasonings I needed from the vegetable pack and prepared them.
After a series of steps, the young rooster was stewed for half an hour. The chicken meat was taken out, and spring water was put into the pot. After the water boiled, millet was added, along with shredded chicken breast and ginger.
Then I took out some celery from the vegetable bag and made a celery and egg stir-fry.
The millet porridge was cooked quickly. Finally, a little salt and chicken essence were added, and a fragrant and nutritious shredded chicken and millet porridge was ready.
She walked to the carriage, removed the lid of the large chest, laid it flat on the grass to use as a dining table, and then brought over all the food.
When you're hungry, the aroma of food seems to intensify. At this moment, Shen Danru couldn't resist and began to drink large mouthfuls of porridge.
