Chapter 7

Zeng Xiao checked the mission:
Points: -762/5000
Mission countdown: 64:43
In other words, 64 points must be completed in 5762 hours!
In fact, there are several tasks that can be taken in the yard, such as:
Wrap the bougainvillea in the corner with twine to prevent cold 50 points
Rescue the turtle stuck in the sewer 600 points
Release a rabbit for 600 points
……

How much more points do you get for releasing a rabbit than killing a rabbit? !

Too bad it wasn't her rabbit.

It gets dark early in winter, before 7:[-] p.m., and the sky is already completely dark. Except for the lights in the house, there is only a line of words floating above the mission target in the yard, which is slightly fluorescent.

Zeng Xiao finished the tasks that could be done, and when Grandma Chen called for dinner, the debt she owed was finally paid off!

"Xu girl, what are you busy with?"

"There was a turtle frozen in the sewer of the yard. I pried it out!" Zeng Xiao helped bring the dishes to the table and took out a palm-sized turtle from his pocket. The turtle's head and limbs were shrunk in the shell. It was motionless, the turtle shell was freezing cold, and I don't know if it can be saved!
The old and the young were discussing whether to give the tortoise some warm water, when there were footsteps and chatter and laughter in the yard, Da Jun and Xiao Zhou helped Grandpa Chen open the door of the main room and walked in.

"You guys are lucky today, the old lady is good at cooking!" Mr. Chen supported Dajun's hand, slowly sat down on the chair, stretched out his hand and rubbed his knees: "Xu girl, your grandma Chen's spicy hot pot is very special. It's delicious, you can eat more later!"

Zeng Xiao smiled and nodded, then said with concern: "Grandpa Chen, what's wrong with your leg?"

"It's okay, it's an old problem! It's going to happen when it snows, and it will be fine when the weather gets warmer!" Mr. Chen said with a smile: "Sit down, it's getting late, are you hungry?"

Zeng Xiao pondered, rheumatism should be considered a negative state, right?I don't know if Fufu Dan can cure it?

"Hey, where did the tortoise come from?" Xiao Zhou found the tortoise by Zeng Xiao's hand as soon as he sat down, "It's not too small, it can be stewed in a pot!"

As soon as Xiao Zhou finished speaking, two lines of small characters that only Zeng Xiao could see appeared on the back of the turtle: "600 points for releasing the turtle, 50 points for raising the turtle every day"

Zeng Xiao almost laughed out loud, this turtle has a strong desire to survive!
He quickly touched the turtle shell comfortingly and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, I want to keep this turtle, but I can't eat it!"

So, the topic turned to how to feed the tortoise, and the host and guest enjoyed a meal.

After eating, Zeng Xiao helped clear away the dishes, returned to the room, took out the small bottle of recovery pills from the space sticker, and wondered how to get Grandpa Chen to take the pills.She has taken several pills produced by the system, and believes that even if they are ineffective, there will be no problem!
Suddenly, I had an idea. I found a clean cup in the room, poured a cup of boiling water, put the small red pill in it, and shook it a few times. The pill quickly dissolved, and the boiled water turned into a golden and reddish color.It looks a lot like the saffron-infused water that my grandpa used to drink!
Holding the water glass, Zeng Xiao walked through the main room and knocked on Grandma Chen's door.

"Ms. Xu? Come in! The door is unlocked!"

She pushed the door open and saw Grandma Chen soaking Grandpa Chen's feet. Grandpa Chen's feet were soaked in a knee-deep wooden barrel. The barrel was filled with brown potion, and the room was filled with the smell of Chinese herbal medicine.

"Soak your feet before going to bed, sleep better!" Grandma Chen explained to her as she looked at the barrel.

"Yes, my grandpa used to be the same. Every winter, he had to soak his feet to sleep warmly!" Zeng Xiao said with a smile: "I just saw Grandpa Chen's legs hurt, and I remembered the effect of grandpa soaking saffron water to cure rheumatism. Very good, I happen to have some saffron in there, so I soaked it and gave it to Grandpa Chen to try!" He said, and handed over the water glass.

Grandpa Chen happily took the cup: "Xu girl has a heart!" Grandma Chen glanced at Grandpa Chen, but said nothing.

"Don't worry about drinking it! It's effective for safekeeping!" Zeng Xiao hurriedly reassured that Mr. Chen would not drink it.

Mr. Chen looked at her and said with a smile: "Okay, I believe our girl Xu!" After speaking, he blew on the mouth of the cup, and when it was not so hot, he drank it in two or three sips!

After soaking in the water, Mr. Chen immediately felt a warmth spread from his stomach to his whole body. For a moment, it was as if his whole body was soaking in a hot spring, and he felt so comfortable that he wanted to hum a few times!

"Ms. Xu, where did you get this saffron?" Mr. Chen knew it was not an ordinary thing as soon as he drank it.

"I don't know, it was left by my grandfather, and there is only so much left, just enough for one soak!" Let's push this pot to Xu Shengnan's grandfather, anyway, he is gone, and Grandpa Chen can ask No one!

"Sleep well, you should feel much better tomorrow!" Zeng Xiao hurriedly said good night to Grandma Chen and the others, and slipped back to the room, earning points. Tonight is another night of quizzing!
The next morning, Zeng Xiao was woken up by the sound of birds chirping, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Rourou lying on the bedside table boredly playing with turtles.Last night, Zeng Xiao put it on the bedside table before going to bed. After a night of thawing, the tortoise has come to life completely. Retracted again.I don't know how long Rourou has been playing, Zeng Xiao seems to be able to feel the depression of the tortoise!
"Master, you're awake!" Rourou jumped over cheerfully.

"what time is it?"

"It's past eight o'clock! The master is a big slob!" Rourou pouted, the master woke up so late, it was so boring!
Zeng Xiao brushed the questions last night until 5 o'clock in the morning, and earned 748 points in 836 hours. In addition to saving the turtles and other debts, she now has [-] points.

Based on 5 hours and 700 points, the remaining 4200 points will need about 30 hours to solve the questions. There are still 50 hours and 22 minutes in the task countdown, including two nights. Except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time should be used. Do the questions to complete!

Time is a little tight!I still need to save some time to accompany the two old people, and, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, I'm afraid I won't have time to do the questions!
Hearing the whispers of the two elders talking in the yard, Zeng Xiao got up quickly!
"Why don't you sleep more? Did you study late yesterday?" Grandma Chen wiped her hands quickly when she saw her come out, "The breakfast is warm in the pot, I'll bring it to you!"

"No, no, I'll do it myself!" Zeng Xiao quickly walked a few steps, went to the kitchen and brought out the porridge and steamed buns.Grandma Chen brought another small dish of pickles, which was just right for porridge.

After Grandpa Chen finished doing Tai Chi, he waved his arms and walked in: "Girl Xu, your medicine is really amazing! When I woke up this morning, not only did my legs no longer hurt, but my old back pain was also gone. I seemed to be able to see things better." It’s a lot clearer. Don’t let anyone know about this medicine in the future! Have you ever heard of the theory that it’s a crime to have a jade in your arms?”

Zeng Xiao nodded, her eyes were moist, what a simple old man!When encountering such a good thing, the first thing that comes to mind is her safety!

"Grandpa Chen, don't worry! The medicine is gone! I will be careful if something like this happens again in the future. Thank you!" Zeng Xiao said gratefully: "I don't have any relatives anymore. From now on, you and Grandma Chen will be My dear grandparents! I will definitely be filial to you!"

Mr. Chen laughed loudly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Turning his head to Grandma Chen, he said, "Old lady, there are two extra dishes for lunch. We have a granddaughter! Let's celebrate it!"
