Chapter 499 Little Frog and Jin'er Help Each Other
Boom!

Rolling thunder came from the sky, and in the heavy rain, a petite figure ran quickly, crossed the stream on the hillside, and hid under a huge rock.

"It's raining heavily!"

Jin'er wiped the rain from his face, lowered his head, and looked at the little frog in his palm. The little frog had already lay down, with its limbs facing the sky. Its claws were broken, and it just fell again. It made things worse and could no longer stand up. , can only lie down.

Bursts of severe pain came from the frog's claws, and the little frog croaked in unbearable pain, its claws trembling slightly.

In this case, the little frog should go to a frog doctor for treatment, but unfortunately, this is simply not possible.In the frog race, there is currently no frog doctor.

"Little frog, you lie here for a while."

At this time, Jin'er suddenly squatted down and put the little frog in the small crevice under the huge rock. After putting it away, Jin'er ran out alone again, rushed into the rainstorm, and ran towards the east slope.

The east side of Samsara Peak is lush with vegetation, and there are many herbs growing among the cliffs and hillsides.

Ten minutes later, Jin'er came back from the rain, her whole body was soaked, and she was holding a few unknown herbs in her little hands.

Herbs are leaf-shaped. Jin'er picked off a few leaves, put them in his mouth, and chewed them. After chewing, it turned into a handful of green mucus, and then spat it into his hands.

"Little frog, I will apply medicine to you."

Jin'er held the little frog in one hand, and carefully applied the green slime of the herb to the little frog's claws with the other hand.

When Jin'er sprained before, the grandfather used to apply medicine to her like this, so she also learned to apply medicine to the little frog.

"The medicine is ready, you are fine."

Jin'er said childishly.

The little frog was very surprised. He didn't expect that Jin'er not only didn't eat it, but also gave it medicine. Why?
Doesn't Jin'er like grilled frog meat very much? How could she become so kind?
Could it be that I blamed Jin'er wrongly?

The little frog pondered secretly in his heart, and after a second thought, he suddenly understood.

As far as the little frog knows, there is a famous saying in human beings, which is "Fat and kill again"!Humans like to fatten up frogs and then kill them, which is cost-effective.That's how the old farmer at the foot of the mountain raised frogs.

Thinking of this, the little frog immediately understood Jin'er's plot.

The reason why Jin'er saves the little frog is nothing more than to fatten up the little frog, and then roast it after the little frog has more meat. This kind of frog meat is delicious and enough to eat.

"Human beings are so insidious!"

Although the little frog has seen through everything, it doesn't dare to act rashly.Because its paw is broken, it needs to be recuperated for a while.Fortunately, the little frog is still relatively small, and Jin'er probably won't eat it so quickly.

"Quack!"

Just thinking about it, the little frog suddenly felt a burst of warm current hit the frog claw, which made it extremely painful.

"Little frog, are you in pain?"

Jin'er stroked the little frog's back with her little hand, and comforted her, "It will hurt even if you apply this kind of herbal medicine. Grandpa said, as long as you bear it and bite your teeth, it will be fine."

The little frog had to endure it, but he didn't grit his teeth.

Because it has no teeth.

The torrential rain fell all night, and the little frog's legs hurt all night. In a daze, it fell asleep and slept in Jin'er's palm.

In the early morning of the next day, the little frog was awakened by the crisp sound of birdsong. When he opened his eyes, he saw the clear sky and the sun shining brightly.

The little frog squinted his eyes and found that he was still lying in the crevice of the rock, but Jin'er was gone.

"Where did Jin'er go?"

The little frog was very strange. Isn't Jin'er planning to fatten up before killing him? Why did he run away?

Just as she was thinking, the sound of footsteps came from the front. It turned out that it was Jin'er running back, holding a few green fruits in her small hands.

"Hey, little frog, you're awake!" Jin'er squatted down and looked at the little frog's paw, "Your injury is about to heal, and you'll be fine after a few days of rest."

After finishing speaking, Jin'er opened his mouth and ate the fruit he picked alone.

Seeing Jin'er eating with gusto, the little frog watched eagerly and his stomach growled.

"Little frog, are you hungry?" Jin'er frowned, "Do you want some fruit?"

"……"Little frog.

"Frogs don't seem to be vegetarians." Jin'er thought about it carefully, "Grandpa seems to have said that frogs like to eat bugs. Little frog, I'll catch some bugs for you."

After finishing speaking, Jin'er stood up, ran out in a hurry, and headed for the hillside to the east.

More than half an hour later, Jin'er ran back, her little face was covered with dust, her arms were covered with black mud, she was holding two large leaves with several insects wrapped in them.

"Little frog, eat it!" Jin'er put the insect on the ground.

The little frog was stunned. There were eight insects in total, with different colors, some were black, some were yellow, some were green, and some were hairy. Most of these insects were still alive, wriggling slightly, looking limp. It's soft and looks delicious.

The little frog really couldn't stand the temptation. As soon as he stretched out his tongue, he rolled the insect into his mouth and began to gobble it up, enjoying a hearty breakfast.

……

For the next few days, the little frog was recuperating on the top of Samsara Peak.

Jin'er would go to the hillside to catch bugs every day, so the little frogs ate delicacies from mountains and seas every day, such as insects, worms, flies, mosquitoes, locusts, mole crickets, caterpillars, earthworms, etc., and every meal was extremely rich. Meals are different.

Due to the rich nutrition, the little frog recovered from his injury very quickly. After four days, he was able to walk by himself. On the seventh day, he was able to jump normally, five times in one breath, without any effort.

According to the original plan of the little frog, as soon as its claws are ready, it will run away immediately, so as not to be roasted and eaten by Jin'er.

However, after seven days of observation, the little frog felt that Jin'er didn't seem to be planning to eat it.Because after the little frog recovered from its injury, it had many chances to escape, but Jin'er didn't lock it up, but caught worms for it to eat every day.

As for Jin'er herself, she ate wild fruits from the mountains every day for seven consecutive days, and she didn't eat anything else.

Because she has no money.

Jin'er stayed silently on the top of the mountain, and she still hoped that her grandfather would come back to find her, but day after day passed, and her grandfather never showed up.

Jin'er did not give up, and continued to wait on the top of the mountain, sleeping in the grass at night.Due to eating fruit every day and malnutrition, Jin'er was visibly haggard. The little girl was only five or six years old, and she didn't know how to take care of herself. After seven days, she was already disheveled and her body was dirty.

Jin'er is alone every day, and the only one who accompanies her is the little frog.

late at night.

Jin'er was sitting in the grass, with the little frog lying beside her.

"The fruit is so unpalatable!" Jin'er took a bite of the green fruit, and Xiao Liu frowned, with a weeping expression on her face. She had been eating this kind of fruit for seven days in a row, and she was so nauseous that she almost vomited.

But there was no way, Jin'er had no money, so she had nothing to satisfy her hunger except fruit.

Seeing Jin'er eating fruit in pain, the little frog was a little ashamed. It was delicacies from mountains and seas every day, worms, flies, mosquitoes, locusts, mole crickets, caterpillars, earthworms... all kinds of delicacies, but Jiner could only eat it. Eat these unpalatable green fruits.

Jin'er is the savior of the little frog, and the little frog has never forgotten it. Thinking of this, the little frog decided to help Jin'er.

"Little frog, I'm asleep."

After eating the fruit, Jin'er yawned, lay down in the grass, and soon fell asleep.

After Jin'er fell asleep, the little frog immediately moved into action, ready to fight.

Jin'er has no money, and the little frog is going to help her get some money so that she can buy some food and supplement her nutrition.

The little frog had no money of his own, but he knew there was a way to get it.

There are many novels in the coffin of the ancient tomb. As long as these novels are sold in the book market, they will definitely make some money.

The little frog jumped to the pit of the ancient tomb. The pit was several times larger than before, and the volume of the coffin had also increased several times.

The little frog opened the coffin.

"[Di! Congratulations, the password is correct! The system is starting...]"

After the coffin was opened, the little frog found that the space in the coffin had become larger, and the collection of books inside seemed to have increased, and many new novels appeared out of thin air.

The little frog was going to take a novel out of it and sell it. After choosing for a while, it finally chose a novel called "The Fake Traveler".

The little frog is not familiar with "The Fake Traveler". The reason why he chose a novel is because it is relatively thick, about 10 centimeters thick.

With so many pages in "The Fake Traveler", Little Frog expected to be able to sell it for a few more dollars.

The weight of "Fake Traveler" is 5.6 catties. The little frog can't move it by itself, so it decides to use a lever to carry the novel.

The little frog first found three branches, one branch was placed on the top of the tomb, fixed by the stone next to it, and the other two branches were tied into one with a rope, stretched to a certain length, and then tied to the center of the branch to become "" Cross," with one end of the shelf protruding into the grave.

After the cross was fixed, the little frog found three more branches and made a second "cross", and then the two "crosses" were joined together in a V shape to form a double lever, and the other end of the lever was fixed to the boulder.

As for the rope used for binding, it was improvised by the little frog himself with grass rope. It is so ingenious that such things are no longer difficult for it.

After everything was ready, the plan to move the novel began.

A straw rope was tied to one end of the lever, and the straw rope was put into the coffin, and then tied to the novel "The Fake Traveler". It's like operating a crane.

"rise!"

The little frog was hanging on the power-generating end of the lever, pressed it suddenly, and jumped down, click, the power of the lever was transmitted from the first cross to the second cross, and finally to the "Fake Traveler" at the end. Enlarged nearly 50 times, "The Fake Traveler" was hoisted up at once, rising little by little.

When the novel rose to close to the ground level, the first cross was already at a vertical angle and could not be raised any further. The little frog exerted all its strength, exerted its strength again, and jumped out to the left suddenly. The second cross swung and moved As the first cross turned to the right, the "Fake Traveler" at the end was then thrown out, drew an arc, and bang, fell to the ground above the grave.

"Quack!"

The little frog breathed a sigh of relief, and finally brought the novel up.

After that, it jumped to the "Fake Traveler", and then dragged it into the grass...

……

The next morning, the sun was shining on the green lawn.

"Yeah——" Jin'er slowly opened her eyes, and when she sat up, she found the little frog lying beside her, with its legs upturned, its white belly exposed, as tired as a dog, sound asleep .

"The little frog is so cute...huh?"

At this time, Jin'er discovered that beside the little frog, there was actually a thick novel "The Fake Traveler".

"Where is the novel?"

Jin'er was very surprised, there was no one around, how could there be a novel in the lawn?
Picking up the novel, Jin Er flipped through it and found that the novel was intact.

"Could it be left behind by grandpa?"

Jin'er suddenly remembered that she had seen her grandfather find some novels from ancient tombs and sell them in the market for money.

"Can this novel sell for money?"

Thinking of this, Jin'er was a little excited. If he could sell it for money, he would be able to buy some delicious food.

"Little frog, wake up, I'm going down the mountain."

Jin'er poked the little frog's belly with her little finger, and the little frog woke up suddenly. After learning that Jin'er was going to sell the novel, the little frog jumped on Jin'er's shoulder, ready to accompany her down the mountain.

……

noon.

Jin'er went down to the foot of Samsara Peak, went to a nearby market, and found a library.

"Boss, I want to sell books." Jin'er tiptoed and put the thick "Fake Time Traveler" on the counter.

"Selling books?" The shop owner was a middle-aged man who read the novel and asked, "Little girl, do you really want to sell this novel?"

"Well." Jin'er asked, "Uncle, how much is this novel worth?".

The shop owner said, "We'll have to do an appraisal to find out."

"How long will it take for the appraisal?"

"Two hours."

"Oh."

So, Jin'er squatted at the door of the library and waited, with the little frog always on her shoulder.

Two hours later.

The shop owner came out and said, "Little girl, we have appraised your copy of "Fake Traveler". It is not worth much. If you want to sell it, you can only sell it for a penny."

"One penny?" The little frog was speechless for a while, it took me a lot of effort to move it up from the ancient tomb for such a big lump, and it only sold for a penny?Is it too bad?
"Why is it only a penny?" Jin'er was puzzled, she remembered that when her grandfather sold books in the past, they were at least ten taels of silver.

The shop owner said: "The plot of this "Fake Time Traveler" is not royal at all. It is written in a mess. I don't know what the hell I am writing. No one wants to read it. The most popular novels in the book market are Huangwen novels. Only Huangwen novels are worth money."

"Huangwen novel?" The little frog blinked.

The store owner asked: "Little girl, do you sell this novel for a penny?"

Jin'er thought for a while and asked, "Boss, are you good at writing?"

The store owner shook his head and said, "No, at most one penny. If it weren't for the good quality of the paper of this "Fake Traveler", if it can't be sold in the future, it can be used as toilet paper. It is not even worth a penny."

Jin'er hesitated for a while, and said, "One penny is one penny."

After a few minutes.

Jin'er and the little frog left the library with an extra penny in hand, and she immediately ran to a nearby steamed stuffed bun shop.

"Boss, how much is the bun?" Jin'er asked.

"Two pennies each."

"Sell it for a penny?"

"How can there be buns for a penny?" The bun shop owner said, "Little girl, if you have a penny, you can only buy a steamed bun."

"Then I'll buy a steamed bun."

"Okay. Here are the steamed buns."

"thank you boss."

After receiving the steamed buns, Jin'er opened her small mouth and devoured them hungrily. She has eaten the fruit for seven days, and the steamed buns are simply delicacy for her.

It's a pity that one steamed bun was eaten up at once.

Afterwards, Jin'er returned to Samsara Peak, ready to wait for Grandpa.After a day of tossing, she was also tired and fell asleep on the lawn again.

After Jin'er fell asleep, the little frog started to move again.

Selling "The Counterfeit Time Traveler" today, I only made a penny, and I couldn't even exchange for a bun. The little frog was very upset.If I had known it was so cheap, I would not have picked this novel last night.

Since Huangwen novels are valuable, the little frog is going to find a Huangwen novel from the coffin in the ancient tomb.

After the little frog set up the lever, he jumped into the grave again.

"[Di! Congratulations, the password is correct! The system is starting...]"

After the coffin was opened, the little frog jumped in and began to search for Huangwen's novels.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes? It's not an imperial text."

""Tian Long Ba Bu"? It's not an imperial text."

""Zhu Xian"? Isn't it an imperial text?"

"Huh? "Gold-Ping-Plum"?"
