Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 18 Is for peace of mind
"It's the opposite of the sky! I knew that the hands and feet of my aunt's house were dirty, but I didn't know that even my aunt's cronies were so bold. Those who have a dark heart will be punished sooner or later!"

Xue Hong breathed out a few breaths before he managed to suppress the anger in his heart. He looked at Die Er calmly, with a slightly cold expression on his face: "Although you can't steal it, but when you steal the cup, I always look at it." In my eyes, that method is really proficient. Stealing is an easy and easy job, and I ask you, are you really willing to change?"

Hearing this, Die'er showed a painful expression on her face, struggled and knelt down on the ground, tears pouring out of her eyes, her miserable appearance seemed to be clear enough to make Xue Hong believe it, so she had to swear: "Second master is clearly aware, if Die'er is clearly aware, If my son commits theft again in this life, my mother and I will be smashed to pieces, we will not die well, and we will not be reborn after death!"

Die'er's mother also cried: "Second Lord, don't worry, if Die'er steals again, the old lady will apologise, so please believe her."

But Xue Hong waved her hand: "Master was born with a kind heart, but he never saves people who are not good enough. That kind of people are not worth helping. As for whether Die'er will change or not in the future, it is useless to swear. If she still Stealing, then I will find a way to end her life, it is very unnecessary, what is the use of your life?"

Hearing what Xue Hong said, Die'er felt better.Er Ye is right, what's the use of swearing again?As long as I change it in the future, I don't need to say anything.

Xue Hong thought for a while, and then asked: "Die'er, let me ask you, if you are asked to testify against Zhou Rui's family in the future, would you dare?"

Die'er mother and daughter were stunned for a moment, seeing that Xue Hong didn't seem to be talking empty words, especially Die'er had heard of Xue Hong's knowledge and talent a long time ago. Those who are rich and unkind and pretend to be powerful can get the punishment they deserve.

Die'er said coldly: "That woman is so cruel to me, why should I not dare? As long as the second master has a way to cure her, Die'er will listen to the second master!"

Xue Hong nodded: "Since that's the case, you mother and daughter should live here well, and try to hide your whereabouts on weekdays, so that no one will find out. When you go to court in the future, Die Er, you will be the best witness. Now you first Tell Zhuxi what you know in detail, about what Zhou Rui and his wife did, I must first find out!"

Both of these ladies are used to being poor, so they feel uneasy about living in Xue Hong's house for nothing.

Xue Hong just smiled and said: "You guys live in peace of mind. This is my master's private house, and you have the right to show him the house here. After all, you are not raising it for nothing. When Zhou Rui's affairs are settled, you will be regarded as a meritorious deed." If you are really uneasy, you should treat it as a debt to the Lord first, and you can pay it back when the mansion employs people in the future.

On weekdays, I ask Zhuxi to come and take care of some of them, and I won't treat you badly.Oh, by the way, have you paid off all the loan sharks your family owed? "

Xue Hong suddenly thought that Die'er's mother and daughter still owed usury, and those debt collectors had sharper noses than dogs. If they didn't solve the usury issue and let them come to their door, I'm afraid they would cause a lot of trouble later.

Anyway, Die'er is now pretending to be someone else's concubine, so it is not unusual for someone to come out to pay her back the money suddenly.

Die'er listened with a bitter face: "To tell the truth, my brother only owed more than eight taels of silver at the beginning, but now he owes more than twenty taels of money. After delaying these days, I'm afraid the amount will be even worse. More than that. This money is simply a bottomless pit, no matter how you fill it, you can’t fill it.”

Xue Hong frowned, and told Zhuxi to hire an irrelevant person to dress up as a servant, and return the more than 20 taels to the usury lender in the name of Die'er's "husband".

'Ding, complete the side task and you will be rewarded with 100 experience points and 100 merit points. '

A system voice sounded in his head, Xue Hong remained calm, gave some instructions, and went back to the house.

The mother and daughter didn't know what to say, they just kowtowed to express their gratitude, and they regarded Xue Hong as their reborn parents. From then on, as long as Xue Hong had any orders, the two would obey them.

On the way, Zhuxi wondered: "Have you already made up your mind to help Die'er and her daughter? Why don't you believe that she will change?"

Xue Hong smiled and said: "People are the most fickle in this world. Although I know that Die'er's nature is not bad, I really decided to help her to the end. But even if a person who has stolen something wants to change in his heart, her body I still remember the pleasure of getting dirty things, and stealing is indeed a quick way to make money. Poor people like Die Er, if they don’t sincerely repent, they may still make the same mistakes. Asking a few questions is just a wake-up call for her.”

Zhuxi nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, so it turns out..."

After returning to the mansion, it was already time for dinner, Xue Hong had something to worry about, so he only ate a few mouthfuls before shutting himself in the study.He played with the ruby ​​suet white jade rabbit (Xue Hong was born in 1699, Xiaotu) in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Xue Hong always knew in his heart that by closing the doors of the houses, the mourners could not be seen everywhere.

Why let him come to this seemingly real and illusory world, and let him have a rich identity and space system?Should he use everything he has to do something for the injustice and sorrow in front of him?
To save Die'er, he just took out a little money and asked others to run a few times for him, it was too easy!It's so easy that it makes me feel awkward, as if poor people like Die Er are ants in my hands, and whether they live or die depends entirely on his heart.

Subconsciously told himself that Die Er would not and could not be the only poor person he saved.

He decided to make himself stronger, richer, and do everything in his power to help all those in need.This has nothing to do with upgrading the space to complete the task, it's just that he suddenly changed to a living environment with three different views, and he felt that he had to do something to reassure himself.

Although Xue Hong was greatly touched by Die'er's incident, she was not overwhelmed by enthusiasm.

And as he himself said, there are so many people in BJ who cannot survive, even if he saves one person a day, even ten years can't save them all.He is just a rich man, not a savior, so he can't care too much.The most important thing is that among these people, not everyone is worthy of saving.

After thinking about it, I just want to do my best, and I just want to be worthy of my conscience.

But what could he do now?

Xue Hong was troubled all night and found that in addition to coping with the autumn college examination, it was also necessary to study the system space carefully.

Then he closed his eyes, turned his mind, and entered the space.

After entering the space, I found that the air here is as fresh and beautiful as I have seen before.

To be honest, Xue Hong has been passively completing the tasks issued by the system during this period of time, but she didn't have the space to take a look.

However, after some inspection, it was found that there are very few resources currently available in this space - a small bungalow for storage and living, 50 yuan for planting fields, and a gurgling Lingquan small stream.

Tsk, there seems to be no shortcut to leveling up other than accepting system tasks and planting things to increase experience points.

What's more embarrassing is that it's the middle of winter, and there are no trees and saplings for sale in the market. Even the medicinal seeds provided for free in the space mall are only two kinds, wormwood and Atractylodes macrocephala.

Judging from the reward of 5 experience points for each sowing and 5 experience points for each mature plant harvested, it doesn't matter whether you plant or not.

And Xue Hong didn't plan to plant medicinal materials first.

The current growth rate in the space is 50 times that of the outside, and the medicinal materials planted are all fresh and mature.Although it won't break or affect the efficacy of the medicine in the space, the storage space here is limited, so what's the use of so many medicine strains?Taking up space for nothing?

The Atractylodes Rhizome of Wormwood is an extremely common medicinal material, even if it is sold, it is not worth a lot of money.However, if the finished medicines are refined according to the method in the "Refining Medicine Manual", then their value must be different.

However, although the "Refining Medicine Manual" does not have any conditions for use, it can only be unlocked at the second level.The refining furnace will be unlocked at the third level of the space.

Although you can use the disposable medicine furnace in the shopping mall at the second level of the space, you need to exchange 500 experience points each time, which is a bit too expensive.And even if you refine medicine, it's impossible to use only two herbs?All in all, judging from the current space system, the business of refining medicine is still too cumbersome and uneconomical. It is better to wait for spring to plant some food, vegetables, fruit trees, etc., which are more economically valuable.

But it seems that no matter what you plant, you have to wait until spring to make plans. Isn't it impossible to do anything but accept tasks now?
After Xue Hong was a little disappointed, she felt bored, so she picked up a handful of spiritual spring water and drank it curiously.

what's the situation?Why is this water so delicious?

"Drinking this spiritual spring water regularly can improve physical fitness, eliminate fatigue, moisturize the skin, and delay aging... People who practice martial arts can also broaden the meridians and strengthen their internal strength. Even if they use it to water plants, they can produce unexpected harvests. It's not one or two o'clock, host, why did you think of it today?"

Mr. System, who has always been reticent, sounded unexpectedly disappointed in today's tone. Thinking of the original owner's ecstatic look after unlocking the spiritual spring water, the system felt that this Xue Hong did not pay much attention to the good things produced by the space.If you keep drinking this spiritual spring water, the effect will not be worse than those so-called panacea medicines, okay?How could he be so ignorant of cherishing it?
"Uh..." Xue Hong was at a loss for words for a while, he really forgot about this matter, no wonder Mr. System complained.

Thinking about it, it wasn't because of his small body that he forgot to take care of it.But although he himself doesn't really need the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, the rest of the Xue family is different.
