After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

After entering the cave, Yuxiu took out a fully charged emergency light bulb from the space and held it up to check around inside.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that there was a stone platform on the stone wall, on which were placed a pottery jar and bamboo cups and bowls. There was also a pile of thoroughly burned ashes in the middle of the cave.

Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking down, you can see a large piece of flat land, but at this time only withered and yellow weeds are left.

Cui was wise enough. She said that when the crops were ripe, the village would send people to guard them. On the one hand, it was to prevent wild beasts from destroying the crops, and on the other hand, it was to prevent people from other villages from stealing the crops.

There was a large stone slab at the entrance of the cave. Yuxiu tried to move it a few times and it just blocked the entrance, leaving only a few gaps on the edge for ventilation.

After arranging all these, Yuxiu took Cui to the small supermarket. In order not to arouse other people's suspicion on the road, both of them rarely took out water to drink. Now as soon as they entered, they both held the cup and drank a large glass of water.

"We can make more food at night and roll it into rice balls. It will be convenient to eat and won't be seen by others."

Yuxiu went to cook, and Cui followed her. The two of them worked for a while before they made a large plate of rice balls. There was no need to take them out, but just leave them here. Not only could they be kept fresh, but Yuxiu could just take them out with her mind when she wanted to eat them.

In the following time, Cui followed Yuxiu to get to know the large and small commodities on the shelves.

Even though she had seen them before, Cui couldn't help but marvel at them when she touched them.

Yuxiu simply picked up some daily necessities and snacks in a basket, took Cui to the rest area, and made her a cup of fragrant milk tea. Both of them had dirty clothes, so they didn't sit on the sofa, but pulled over two small stools and sat down.

"It's a pity that the door to the backyard can't be opened, otherwise we could go to the back to take a shower or something."

Yuxiu felt a little regretful and showed the things in the basket to Cui.

There are thermos cups for drinking water, basins, towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and some underwear and other things.

There is a small yard behind the supermarket. It is not very big and was taken care of by Yuxiu's mother before she passed away. There is a well and two flower beds by the wall. Next to it is a bathroom and a shower room. Things like washing machines are all placed in the bathroom. On weekdays, Yuxiu can throw her clothes directly into the washing machine after taking a shower.

"Silly boy, even if we can take a shower, we can't go out clean. It's okay to be dirty like this. We are all the same anyway. If we really wash ourselves clean, we will definitely be targeted."

This is true. Yuxiu picked up a mirror from the shelf and looked at herself, and couldn't help laughing.

The woman in the mirror looked very similar to herself in her previous life, but she looked a little more childish and tired. Her hair was yellow and messy, and it seemed as if she hadn't had it combed in who knows how long.

But just like Cui said, almost all the common people they met along the way were dressed like this. If they really dressed up slickly and went out, they would probably be robbed in a short while.

Cui fumbled with the soft towel in her hand, sighing in her heart. Everyone said that she had a miserable life. She had been in the Xu family for more than ten years, but she only gave birth to a girl like Yuxiu, who was not liked by her in-laws.

On weekdays, the two women in the second room were like old cows that never got tired. They were ordered around all day long, but they were not given enough food and warm clothes. They were laughed at by their sisters-in-law and bullied and insulted by their mother-in-law, all because she did not give birth to a son. She could not stand up straight in front of the old lady Qin, who favored boys over girls.

Fortunately, although Xu Qinghe was honest, dull and not good at speaking, he was very kind to the mother and daughter. His daughter Yuxiu was also obedient and sensible, so she was not defeated by the insults.

When she learned that those people wanted to sell Yuxiu, she was in despair. She thought that this would be the end of her life, but she didn't expect that she could still sit in this place that was like heaven, with things in her hands and food in her mouth. I guess the ladies in the palace don't have the blessing to enjoy them.

It’s a pity that the child’s father does not have this blessing, and now he is suffering somewhere unknown.

Cui didn't dare to say that she would not come and make her daughter sad, so she had to bury all these worries deep in her heart.

Seeing that she was not in good spirits, Yuxiu thought that she was tired, so she found a few crawling mats and spread them on the bed. She also took bedding and pillows from the shelf and arranged for Cui to lie down and rest for a while.

Cui was indeed extremely tired. Yuxiu helped her lie down and hugged the soft air-conditioned quilt. She told Yuxiu to lie down and rest as well, and she soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Although Yuxiu was very tired, she still managed to search around in the supermarket and found some useful things, which made it convenient for her to take them.

The crawling mat was very large, so Yuxiu got herself a quilt and lay down next to Cui. She thought she would not be able to fall asleep, but as soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep quickly.

Perhaps it was because she had been facing Cui's face that looked so similar to her mother, she actually dreamed of her mother whom she hadn't dreamed of for a long time.

"Xiu Xiu, even though mom has left you now, she is still with you in another way. Don't be afraid, let your mother take care of you, Xiu Xiu...Xiu Xiu..."

I don’t know how long I slept, but Yuxiu suddenly sat up from the mat, and her mother’s voice seemed to still linger in her mind.

Xiuxiu... Xiuxiu...

Let your mother take care of you...

What does this mean?

Could it be that the original owner's mother has some connection with my own mother?

Cui was sleeping soundly under the light. Looking at her again, she looked exactly like her mother.

I really couldn't figure it out, and just when I was thinking about whether I should ask the system, the system popped up by itself.

"Host, host, come and accept the mission."

Yuxiu's eyes went dark. What kind of crappy mission was this? It was actually issued in the middle of the night. If she was really asked to kill a wild beast right now, she would be a little scared.

"Does this mission have to be released now? Then I wonder what the reward for the mission is?"

This is an unnecessary question. No matter what the reward is, you still have to work, right?

"Hehe, the reward is that the host can choose one of three options. Either open the space on the second floor, or open the space in the backyard. The other option is to draw a random prize. Whatever you win is what you get."

Choose one of three?

Yuxiu was very excited. She smelled the sour odor on her body. Even if she didn't dare to change her outer clothes, it would be a good idea to take a shower and change her inner clothes.

"Host, go out now and walk along the mountain path ahead for a quarter of an hour. There is an injured person lying under the crooked tree. You just need to rescue him."
