Buffaloes are very human-like animals. At this moment, the two buffaloes looked at Yu Jiao with affectionate eyes.

"Did you save me? Thank you."

Yu Jiao boldly touched the buffalo's head and thanked it solemnly. She also touched the buffalo's bulging belly with some worry. How could a pregnant buffalo run around in the mountains in such heavy rain?

Soon Yu Jiao realized that she should be more worried about herself. She just tried to stand up, but she felt a piercing pain in her ankle.

[System, can you check if I am dislocated? ]

【It's dislocated.】

The chubby girl who hasn't lost weight yet had her legs grabbed and thrown onto his back, it was hard for her to avoid dislocating her leg.

System suggestion: [I have the simplest and most understandable bone-setting video, would you like to watch it and try it yourself? ]

She is not that strong...

Yu Jiao took out a cell phone from her dirty raincoat, which was a little torn but still intact: [Professional matters should be left to professionals. ]

The system is speechless.

No, why do you have a cell phone in your pajamas?

The chubby girl who was swiping her phone was also quiet, as if she finally realized that she was wronged, and was muttering to the system in her heart.

[The buffalo's rescue method is still not professional enough. If it had held my clothes in its mouth, it would have twisted its foot. ]

[But what bad intentions does the little animal have? It just wants to save me.] And it's pregnant with a baby cow, so Yu Jiao feels that she can't be too harsh.

System hehe: [Small, animal.]

In fact, the system felt that the big buffalo was really wronged. It was clearly not it that caused the cub's ankle to be dislocated, and it was diligently helping the cub to block the wind in the middle of the night, but it was taken the blame for nothing.

Yu Jiao poked at her phone for a while and then hesitated again.

She had just returned to the village and the only numbers in her cell phone were those of her fourth uncle and a few uncles and aunts. The only young person she knew was the owner of an antique stall and her second brother, who was as far away as could be. Was it really necessary to trouble them... ?

Or should we find the police... ?

[Turn around and pick up a Hericium erinaceus. Let me see what time mushrooms are usually grown. Let’s change the time…]

[[Daily! Picking mushrooms!] This is today's daily task. ]

Yu Jiao turned around and saw a small thing that looked like a plush doll lying obediently on the trunk of the towering ancient tree.

A nest! A nest of Hericium erinaceus!

Yu Jiao exclaimed: "Why is there Hericium erinaceus here?"

The little girl's chattering startled some birds, which made them flutter in surprise. The system was a little disgusted and a little proud, looking at the way the little brat had never seen the world.

[Humph, although Hericium erinaceus mainly grows in the northeast and northwest, it can also grow in the mountains of the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest. ]

[Besides, this mountain is the mission location selected by the main system. What's wrong with it being rich in resources? ]

Abundant resources?

Yu Jiao chewed on these four words, looked at her swollen ankle, and then looked at the big buffalo that was standing obediently beside her, eating the tender leaves on the branches broken by the mudslide.

The big buffalo had never eaten leaves from such a high tree, and Yu Jiao had never seen a real Hericium erinaceus.

Looking around, she saw that the land was not flattened by the mudslide at all. Instead, new grass and tender shoots were thriving, and all kinds of mushrooms seemed to have popped up overnight. Yu Jiao had a bold idea.

Yu Jiao cleared her throat: [Does the bone-setting video you mentioned guarantee that you can teach me how to do it? ]

She suddenly felt that she was still quite strong.

It was just daybreak, and the sky, which had been washed by heavy rain all night, cleared away the mist, revealing a light blue color. The villagers of Shoushan Village, who had slept soundly all night, also woke up from their sweet dreams.

When the rain stopped, the fourth uncle picked up a cart of tiles and prepared to go to the Yu family. The Yu couple had always said that the house was leaking, but they were more likely to rent a house in the county to accompany their children to school and had no time to come back. Then there was the incident of the real and fake daughter, so the house must not have been re-tiled.

It rained so heavily last night, I wonder if the little girl had a good sleep.

The tricycle rumbled towards the edge of the village and soon arrived at Yu's house. Uncle Si saw no movement in the small bungalow and thought Yu Jiao was still asleep. He was hesitating whether to call out when he heard a noise in the distance and turned his head subconsciously.

"Fourth uncle!"

The little girl's voice was hoarse, still shy, but cheerful like a bird: "Fourth Uncle! I picked up a lot of good things! Hericium erinaceus, white truffles, wild yam... I also picked up a cow——"

A cow -

Cow——

ox--

The echo reverberated at the foot of the mountain, attracting several aunts who had just woken up nearby. They looked curiously at the owner of the voice and were all shocked.

The little girl from the Yu family was seen leaning on a straight dead branch, wearing a T-shirt and shorts that revealed her chubby white legs, but her legs were covered with dry, dark red mud. What was even more terrifying was her swollen ankles that could not be covered even by the glazed mud.

The fourth uncle trembled: "Xiao Jiao, what are you doing...?"

Aunt Zhen, who had gone to the morning market with Yu Jiao before, also came out of the house at this time. Seeing Yu Jiao's abnormally red face, she slapped her thigh and said, "Why are you still asking? Send her to the health center immediately!"

"Wow! Your forehead is so hot that you can fry an egg on it!"

"Hurry, hurry, I can't carry it anymore. You guys come too. Hiss, my ankle—be careful!"

Yu Jiao was just about to take off her raincoat, which she had used as a burden, from the big buffalo when the aunties rushed over and lifted her arms and legs. The fourth uncle's tricycle was also emptied of its tiles by the men from the aunts' families, and a sick little fat girl took its place seamlessly.

The whole journey takes less than three minutes.

This time, the fourth uncle drove fast and steadily. Even if there were bumps, the aunts who surrounded Yu Jiao and kept an eye on her would immediately use their bodies to cushion the situation so that Yu Jiao's injuries would not be injured again.

……ah?

what happened?

Yu Jiao's eyelids were drooping and she met Aunt Zhen's gaze blankly, receiving a soothing pat on the head.

"Auntie will hold you, close your eyes and take a nap?"

"…Thank you, Auntie."

Her whole body felt like she had fallen into a pile of cotton. Yu Jiao lay in her aunt's warm, minty embrace, closed her eyes, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

[Does it hurt? Don’t cry.]

The system stammered with a childish mechanical voice: [I, I'll give you a pain-blocking hack! ]

The video was supposed to teach until he learned it, but the kid actually had to learn it four times before he could learn it! What kind of fake and shoddy products does the main system sell! The system was so angry that it didn't care whether the cheat would be detected or not, and directly used it on Yu Jiao.

The painful and spicy ankle felt a coolness. Yu Jiao sniffed and swallowed all those hypocritical and sour words.

Listening to the system's cursing, I swallowed the words "it might be my problem" back.

Finally, he only said: [My branches...]

System: [Huh? 】

Yu Jiao's eyelids were fighting: [Remember to remind me to pick it up...]

That was a particularly straight twig that she had found with great difficulty.

When we arrived at the village clinic, Yu Jiao had already fallen asleep, or perhaps she had fainted from the fever. The little girl's breath was scalding hot, and Aunt Zhen hugged her and patted her gently, saying to the village doctor, "Be gentle."

After the rain, the sky clears up.

When Yu Jiao woke up, the fever had subsided and her wounds were bandaged well.

She propped herself up and found herself lying on her own old solid wooden bed. Remembering something, Yu Jiao looked up and saw that the hole in the roof had been patched up tightly.

【You slept for two whole days! 】

The system popped up quickly, as if it had a lot to say: [Aunt Zhen helped you change your clothes, Uncle Liang and the others helped you pick up tiles, and the new bamboo mat was given by your uncle. ]

Yu Jiao: [Wow!]

System: [I also dug some compensation for you from the main system. You can use the mountain products you picked up to make up the daily expenses this week! ]

Yu Jiao: [Wow!!!]

The system chuckled twice.

The childish mechanical voice was in high spirits because of Yu Jiao's support, and even had humanized expectations: [There is a surprise at the door! ]

Yu Jiao couldn't help but look forward to it: [Surprise?]

The little fat girl turned over and got out of bed, put on her shoes flexibly, ran out, and then stopped at the door.

Not far away, Uncle Si's tricycle brought Aunt Zhen over. Aunt Zhen was holding a thermos bucket in her hand and waving at her to tell her not to come out in the wind. Nearby, Uncle Liang and a kind-looking middle-aged man were leading a big buffalo, and they all smiled when they saw her.

Uncle Liang: "Is Xiaojiao awake?"

The middle-aged man was more excited than Uncle Liang: "Thank you for saving my cow. It gave birth! So I had to come and see you!"

The big buffalo mooed, as if confirming what the middle-aged man said. It stared at Yu Jiao with its big eyes and wanted to stick its head out to nudge Yu Jiao.

The middle-aged man stopped the big buffalo, fearing that it would knock the little girl over, and then looked at Yu Jiao: "Uncle picked the best one for you, and I'll bring it to you when you can eat dry food. Don't be polite, don't be polite, ah!"

……Wow.

After seeing off the enthusiastic middle-aged man Uncle Dahao, Yu Jiao was eating the century egg porridge made by Aunt Zhen and suddenly clenched her fist.

[System, I am so lucky! ]

[…I had a fever for two days and almost developed pneumonia. How can I be lucky?] The system muttered, [I don’t know if there will be scars on my legs. I told you not to force yourself, but you insisted on picking those white truffles.]

The system felt scared when it thought of the sharp branch that almost pierced Yu Jiao's belly.

Yu Jiao didn't think so: [That's white truffle! ]

The devil of the Luo family once boasted to her about the white truffles he had eaten, which were auctioned for thirty thousand dollars per kilogram!

[Before, I had nothing to gain but still had to suffer. Now, although I was slightly injured, I got a lot of mountain products, the care of Aunt Zhen and the others, and a calf! ]

[System, look, I am not just unlucky now, I have turned a disaster into a blessing.] The little girl's eyes sparkled as she cheered for her good luck.

The system is silent.

The core of data actually felt a little sour. Aren’t the humans it feeds too easy to satisfy?

[The best part is that I don’t have to climb mountains to do missions for a week. That’s a week, and I can finally sleep until I wake up naturally.]

System: […Get lost, you lazy fellow! ]

Give it back its pain!
