Chapter 70

After resting for a few days, they hurriedly processed the sweet potatoes and potatoes they dug back according to Melomei's ideas.

Even the sweet potato vines were chopped up and dried in the sun according to her suggestion, and kept as dry food for the big-gu cattle.

The people in the village knew how their family handled it, and they also learned from the Melomei family. They cut the dug sweet potatoes into strips, boiled them, dried them, and kept them for eating slowly.

Even more caring people, while there is still a little water, quickly pick it up and put it back. The result of this is that the water is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and everyone starts fighting because of the water again.

Mei Lao Er and Mei Qihai also went to fetch water, because there were many tanks in the house and they were big, so the two went to fetch water every day when they had nothing to do, until the New Year's Eve, they found that there was no more water in the river and the mountain spring stopped flowing.

The Chinese New Year is over, which should be a happy thing, but this year the whole village is dead, because after the Chinese New Year, it means that they have to leave the village, and no one knows whether they will be able to return in the future.

"Father, it's Chinese New Year today, no matter what, let's celebrate!"

Melomei brought out some peanut melon seed candies and put them on the table, inviting everyone to come and eat.

"Well, it stands to reason that we should celebrate, but your uncle and I still want to go to the mountains to see if we can find some water. You guys can watch at home and get something to eat. We'll come back later."

Mei Laoer took a machete, thinking that no matter what, he had to go and have a look.

Being forced to leave the village like this, I really feel very uncomfortable.

"Ah! Still looking for water? Didn't you and my uncle pick up a lot for the house? If we leave at that time, we don't know how to bring the water!"

Melome felt that if there was water at home, she didn't need to go to the mountains to find it, because according to her speculation about the plot of the book, they would definitely leave here.

The reason for this certainty is because the title of the book is "The Gentle Tyrant Falls in Love with Me", which means that the hero is the emperor, but the heroine of this book, Melodie, is still here. Lord, how can a little girl from the countryside easily meet the emperor when she stays in the village every day?
No matter how you think, it's unrealistic.

Even if someone goes out of the palace and pays a private visit, the probability of coming to your poor and remote corner of the country is very small, so Melomei felt that it was inevitable for the whole village to leave.It can be seen that there must be no water on the mountain.

Mei's second son: "I always feel reconciled if I don't go to see my father."

"In that case, I'll follow along, maybe I'll find it if I'm lucky!"

Melomei went to find a sickle, carried a small backpack, took a cowhide bag of water, and a few buns.

It is false to go up the mountain to find water, but it is true to find things to exchange for energy coins.

"Go if you want, anyway, dad is just going to try his luck."

There are so many people in the village who have searched for it several times but have not found anything, so it is all luck if they can't find it.

Mei Laoer and Mei Qihai also took water and put some steamed buns in their arms, and the three of them walked up the mountain.

A few people walked on the mountain all morning and came across several ditches, but these ditches had long since dried up and were full of pebbles and mud, and when they stepped on them, they were all dust.

Melomei finally dug up a few wild vegetables, a yam, and picked a few yam seeds.

Mei Qihai cut some bamboos and wanted to take them back to store water in bamboo tubes.

Mei Lao Er cut a few handfuls of green grass and put them in his back dill, planning to go back and feed the big cow.

A few people went up the mountain for half a day and didn't gain much. Instead, they were so hungry that they had to put their things aside and sit down to drink some water and eat something.

"Sanya, if you can't walk anymore, take a rest here and look at something. Your uncle and I will go to other places to see if we can gain anything."

Many places on this mountain are bare, and some small animals have been captured by the villagers long ago, and there is no danger, so Mei Lao Er dared to let his daughter wait here.

"You go, I'll take a look at the side in a while, and I won't go far."

Melomei finished the last bite of bun in her hand, and waved to her father and uncle.

After getting the answer, Mei Laoer took out the green grass from the back radish and put it together with Mei Qihai's bamboo, and left with the empty back radish on his back.

Seeing that the two of them had left, Melomei hurried to the bamboo forest where Uncle Mei was chopping bamboo just now, took out a hatchet from the system, picked a big bamboo and chopped it up.

She has seen it, this bamboo can be exchanged for energy coins.

After chopping for a long time, Melomei only chopped five bamboos and exchanged five energy coins, and she couldn't help frowning.

This speed, no way!

Seeing that there was no one around, I quickly rented a chainsaw in the shopping mall, cut down a large area after a while, and finally left more than a dozen in situ for seeding.

This bamboo multiplies quickly in good weather, leaving more than ten roots is enough.

Melomei returned the chain saw, collected the bamboo, clicked to exchange, and [-] energy coins arrived in the account, which made her speechless.

[System, why is bamboo more expensive than clothes? ]
She remembered that when she lost a suit of clothes into the system, it was worth changing an energy!

[Of course, can natural and handmade be the same?Besides, this piece of bamboo forest has grown for a long time, so it can sell so much. If other energy is not sufficient, yours is only worth a few energy. ] The system rolled its eyes, and the eyes were missing from the chubby body.

[Oh, I haven't asked you yet?Why does the price of your system fluctuate from time to time? My cakes worth a tael of silver are not as expensive as Chinese cabbages worth a penny each? ] Melome couldn't figure it out, and asked a question that had been on her mind for a long time.

System: [This is automatically priced by the platform. It mainly depends on the amount of energy in the things you provide, and cannot be measured by money. ]
Melomei: [Then, in this day and age, steamed buns cost two cents, why does your system keep charging me for one energy? ]
I feel so bad!

[Host, you are the one who bought expensive ones, can you blame me? Didn’t you find that the steamed buns you bought taste better than other steamed buns?If you want to buy cheap ones, there are also ones in the mall, one with five energy, ten energy, or sold by the catty, you can blame me if you don’t look carefully! ]
The system felt that it was wronged, and the host had bad eyesight, so it felt ashamed to blame it.

Hearing what the system said, Melomei hurriedly looked for it carefully, but she still didn't see it, so she couldn't help asking, [Where is it? ]
Her eyes hurt and she didn't see where the label was!

The system stretched out a finger and pointed to a place, [Isn't it here?I can't see such a big sign. ]
Melome: "..."

I stared at the place pointed by the system and looked carefully for a while, but still didn’t see it, so I had to buy a magnifying glass in the mall and attach it to the magnifying glass with my spiritual sense to look at it—this time I finally saw it clearly.

"Damn, is this called obvious? You are called profiteers."

There are cheap things, but not to mention hidden in the corner, you can’t see them with the naked eye. You have to look carefully with a magnifying glass to see some icons as big as the tip of a needle.

Melomei was depressed. It seemed that if she wanted to buy cheap things in the future, she would have to choose with a magnifying glass.

System: [Host, you get what you pay for, the things in the corner, should they hang brightly?We also do this for a win-win situation. ]
Melo May: "Fuck your mother's win-win."

After spraying with the system, I continued to look for other things that can exchange energy.

When I came to a place, I suddenly saw a big tree, which was so green that it seemed to be completely unaffected by the drought.

Melomei immediately ran forward and walked around the big tree, thinking that this thing must be a treasure.

[System, let's see how much energy this tree is worth? ]
The system looked at the big tree, and it was indeed full of energy, [This tree can be worth [-] energy coins, but you can't take it away. ]
Melome: "???"

[This tree has grown for no less than a thousand years and has a well-developed root system, which is why it can grow so well. If you want to sell it, you may have to dig a hole here for 100 years to see if you can pull it up. ]
The system also feels that it is a pity that such a high energy cannot be taken away.

Digging for 100 years?

forget it!
Melomei walked for a while, and suddenly saw a wild vegetable in front of her. She ran forward quickly, but accidentally tripped over a vine and fell far away.

"oops……"

Melomei grinned in pain, sat up and looked at her hands and knees.

It's okay, just a little bit of skin.

I took alcohol from the system backpack and wiped it, so I didn't care about it.

Standing up and taking a few steps, I suddenly felt something was wrong, looked around, and said: [System, do you think this place looks familiar? ]
The system said angrily, "Does it not look familiar? It's near the pit where you were buried when you passed through."

Melome "..."

I looked carefully again, and it was indeed the place I had passed through.

[You said there would be no dead people here? ]
She is so scared!
system:"……"

Melomei felt her legs go weak. Although it has been a few years in this place, the memory of that time is still so clear, as clear as yesterday.

If Jun Buhuan hadn't saved her, she would only have a few skeletons left now.

Melomei wanted to leave here quickly, but because of fear, she was so nervous that she accidentally slipped and fell down again.

This time it wasn't as lucky as before, it jumped to the side, and then fell down with a splash.

It turned out that there was a hole next to it, but because of the weeds blocking it, the opening of the hole was not seen, and Melomei fell directly into the hole.

[System, help me, I'm falling. ]
She thumped and called the system as she fell, but got no response, and then went all the way down, and finally hit something with a snap.

Although it didn't hurt very much, I was still dizzy from the fall.

He shook his head and sat up, trying to see the environment he was in, but the hole was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, even the hole on his head was blocked by the weeds above.

I had no choice but to take out a flashlight from the system.

I bought this thing before, but I never had a chance to use it. Now it is just right to take it out for lighting.

Opened it and looked around, and found some dead branches and leaves, moss, and a few small holes.

"Fortunately there are no rats and poisonous snakes!"

Melomei sighed thankfully, and felt relieved. Then she felt that something was wrong with her buttocks. She picked up the flashlight and flicked it, which almost scared her to death on the spot.
