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

At this time, Cui had already fallen asleep on the crawling mat. Yuxiu tiptoed to the backyard and first rinsed the small jade bottle carefully several times. Then she got a bucket of spiritual spring water, found a small funnel, and poured the water into the jars one by one.

After all, it was for sale. Yuxiu thought about it and decided that she couldn't be as casual as before. After putting the wooden cork in, she sealed it again with wax.

She moved quickly, and in a short while, a thousand small bottles were packed. She asked the small system to help call up the system panel and clicked on the two words "put on the shelves". Then the small bottles disappeared from Yuxiu's sight. It was said that they were stored in the system warehouse.

As for the price, she referred to the prices of various kinds of elixirs and set two options. The first was 999 system coins, which could be used to pay for purchases in the system mall. The other option was barter, just like she had used spiritual spring water to exchange for food before.

After finishing all this, Yuxiu looked up at the time and found that it was already past three o'clock in the morning. Thinking that she still had to travel during the day, she prepared to take a rest.

Just as she tiptoed to lie down beside Cui, Cui turned over and naturally hugged Yuxiu's body with her arms, murmuring: "Go to sleep quickly, my girl."

Yuxiu was used to sleeping alone, so she felt a little uncomfortable being held by Cui. However, this feeling was quite good, as it made her feel like she was back to the time before her mother got sick.

I thought I wouldn’t be able to sleep, but when Yuxiu opened her eyes again, she found that she was the only one on the mat.

"Are you awake, girl? Come and wash up and get ready for dinner."

At this time, Cui came in from the backyard, her sleeves rolled up to her elbows, and her hands were wet.

"Mom, why don't you get some more sleep?"

Yuxiu quickly got up and put away the quilt and other things. Then she saw that Cui had already started serving the rice.

"No other mother can help you with anything. Leave these chores to mother from now on."

Yuxiu smiled and nodded. When she came to the backyard, she saw that the well that she had made a mess of last night had been cleaned up. The chestnut horse had also been fed some water and vegetable leaves. There was a long row of clean clothes hanging in the sun room...

Looking at these, Yuxiu felt very warm in her heart. In a trance, she seemed to feel that this Cui was her mother in her previous life.

Cui in the room was already urging her to eat quickly. Yuxiu rubbed her sore eyes, quickly washed her face, brushed her teeth, and packed up.

Cui got up this morning and cooked a pot of millet porridge, and peeled a tea egg for both of them. Yuxiu had told her before that the transparent small glass jars were filled with various pickles. She also took a small bowl, selected a few that suited her taste and put some in the bowl.

"Mom, you don't have to wash your clothes after changing them in the future. I don't want to tire you out. There are two washing machines in the backyard, one for washing large clothes and one for washing underwear."

Yuxiu said while eating that she understood Cui's thoughts. She always wanted to do more work so that she would feel more at ease. However, her belly would get bigger and bigger in the future, and Yuxiu didn't want her to be tired anymore.

"How can the clothes washed by a washing machine be as clean as those washed by mother's hands? Besides, mother is not tired..."

Cui didn't care at all. What was so tiring about washing two sets of clothes? When she was in the Xu family, sometimes Old Lady Qin would throw all the family's clothes to her to wash in order to make things difficult for her. At that time, she had to go to the river at dawn, and her waist could hardly straighten up after washing.

Yuxiu paused with the chopsticks in her hand. Cui's words were very familiar to her, as her mother had said the same thing before.

"Okay, okay, isn't it okay for me to listen to you?"

Cui didn't take it seriously at first, but when she heard her daughter stop talking and saw that her eyes were red, she was frightened. She quickly put down the bowl in her hand and hurriedly went up to comfort her.

"Mom, no matter what happens, you will listen to my daughter from now on. Then we can use the washing machine to wash the clothes. Is that ok?"

Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, then realized that Cui had misunderstood. She nodded quickly with red eyes, and the two of them quickly finished their breakfast.

After finding the outer clothes they both wore yesterday and putting them on, Yuxiu applied a layer of dark foundation on herself and Cui to cover up their skin color. Only then did she let the small system check the situation outside.

"Host, don't worry. There is not a single person in this forest within a few miles."

The small system checked it and was very sure. Yuxiu quickly let the chestnut horse and the carriage out. When she pulled Cui out, she found that the chestnut horse was digging the ground in a restless manner.

"If you just listen and drive well, I'll let you in when I have the chance."

Yuxiu patted its big head to comfort it. Maybe it was because the chestnut horse drank the spiritual spring water several times, but it looked very human. It looked at Yuxiu with its big moist eyes and kept nudging the carriage with its head, as if to say, "I know, let's go quickly."

It was only about six or seven o'clock and the sun had not yet risen. Yuxiu did not delay and took advantage of the cool weather and her full stomach to quickly harness the carriage and set off.

The chestnut horse was particularly obedient today, and Yuxiu's whip was of no use. She only needed to say the command to turn or stop. Seeing that the horse was so obedient, Yuxiu decided to give it more spiritual spring water as a reward in the future.

"Da da da……"

The crisp sound of horse hooves rang out on the quiet mountain road. Yuxiu was sitting on the carriage and chatting with Cui, when she suddenly saw a small figure lying on the road not far ahead.

Yuxiu looked carefully and found that it was a curled up child, who looked dirty all over and was lying in the middle of the road dying.

Looking around again, Yuxiu noticed that the small bush next to her moved. She couldn't help but laugh. How could she try to fool people with such a little trick? She really thought everyone was a fool?

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for triggering the system task. Innocent children have been controlled by someone and their lives are seriously threatened. Please use your own abilities to help the weak and help them escape... The reward for this task is still a lottery."

Having seen through the opponent's trick, Yuxiu originally wanted to ride her horse away from the scene quickly, but she didn't know that the small system issued a task at this time. It sounded like the situation was not that simple. Although she felt helpless, she had to do it.

"Mom, hold that thing in your hand well, and follow the method I taught you before, and no one can get close to you."
