"My lord, is it my illusion? Why do I feel that the missions given to me by the superior are getting more and more difficult? My last world mission rating was very average. It doesn't make sense for this world to increase the difficulty for me?"
Yu Jiatang huddled in the corner, bombarding his own system in his consciousness while trembling.
His first feeling after entering this world was hunger, and then cold.
He went to the mall to buy some warm things and food, but found a terrible thing. There was a shocking big red letter written on the bulletin board of the mall interface—probably meaning that the most laborious function of the mall was temporarily closed due to the main brain’s honeymoon. up!
Of course, we also gave everyone a compensation package. In addition, during the closure period of the mall, all host systems will turn on the auxiliary protection function. In other words, the safety of the mission world host is absolutely guaranteed. In addition, there is no penalty for mission failure. Rewards for mission success are doubled.
The compensation sounds great, and Yu Jiatang thought that if he can’t buy it, he can’t buy it. As long as he finds a shit-shoveling officer, the problem of food and clothing can always be solved.
However, a problem came up. He went to see the mission details and wanted to see who he was as the shit-shoveling officer in the mission world, but he was prompted that he couldn't read it!
You must wait until the values of the four major missions are activated before you can unlock the details of the basic part!
Before it is unlocked, you can only see the brief introduction of the task!
Yu Jiatang clicked on the introduction, but there was only one sentence on it that made Yu Jiatang's cat face dumbfounded - "You annoying little fairy."
Yu Jiatang was immediately turned into a fool by Lei.
"Yutang, I have already sent an error report to the superior, and the reply said that our data here is normal and there is no problem. Maybe this mission world is special, that's it!"
The cold wind blew in through the broken window, and Yu Jiatang sneezed unconsciously, and then said: "Where's the big compensation package? I want to take it apart! Where's the auxiliary protection function? Come and save me!"
"No, although you can dismantle the compensation package now, but there will be fewer items. If you activate the four mission values and then dismantle, there will be surprises!"
"The function of assisting the guardian, this is activated independently, it is not under the control of you and me."
Yu Jiatang: In other words, the compensation given by the mastermind is useless, :)
When Yu Jiatang was thinking about how to spend this hungry and cold night, the wooden door not far from him was unlocked from the outside!
Then he saw a woman wearing a coarse cloth skirt and holding a woman's bun came in. The woman had a yellow face and thin eyes, but her eyes were bright, and she waved impatiently: "Fang Osmanthus, come out, lest Dalang come home, I feel that I have treated you badly!"
Yu Jiatang: "..." excuse me
Yu Jiatang was still thinking about who "Fang Osmanthus" was. Seeing that "Black Cat" didn't move, the woman frowned, and walked over muttering: "Why do you look so stupid? I'll just go up the mountain to find some wild vegetables." …”
"The face is so dark, and the face is full of death, it is really unlucky, and I don't know why Da Lang insists on keeping it."
Yu Jiatang felt that he couldn't keep silent any longer, so he opened his mouth and let out a cry... no, this sound doesn't seem like an ordinary meow
The woman was still impatient when she heard him calling, but she was obviously more relieved than before.
This "black cat" was met by chance when her eldest son Fang Xun went up the mountain to catch roe deer on the day she left home. Fang Xun returned to the county school the next day to study, and before leaving, she asked Yao to give the "cat" a cheap name. , I am afraid that it will not grow up.
Yao Shi has learned a few characters from her husband, but naming such things is still too difficult for her. It just so happens that Fang Xun likes to make tea with osmanthus flowers, so she simply named the black cat Osmanthus osmanthus.
Fang Xun was very concerned about this "black cat". Every time someone sent back home letters, half of them were asking how the sweet-scented osmanthus was growing and whether it could be raised.
If something happened to the black cat, Yao Shi really didn't know how to tell his son.
People in Yan Dynasty believe in Taoist ghosts and gods. Many people think that black cats are unlucky. There is also a saying that black cats are psychic and spiritual things.
At the beginning, Fang Xun insisted on raising it, but Yao Shi had no choice but to see the thin and small black cat, so she agreed as soon as she softened her heart.
I didn't want to find out within a few days that I didn't raise a housekeeping cat, but a troublesome cat.
This time, it was Yao who discovered that the only intact pottery bowl in the house, which was specially used for Fang Xun, was broken by the sweet-scented osmanthus!
In a fit of anger, Yao sent the black cat to Guan Chaifang, and then Yu Jiatang passed into its body.
Yu Jiatang still doesn't know what kind of cat he is wearing, and he can't see his whole body, but judging from the physical characteristics of some parts, he is definitely not a kitten wearing this master.
Felines have strong vitality, but the original black cat has not eaten what it should eat since shortly after its birth, and its body can no longer hold on. Can't survive today.
"Fang Guihua, Mother told you that Da Lang is coming back today, and Xian Niang is coming back from her husband's house to visit in the next two days. You have to be honest with me, don't run around and cause trouble."
The dignitaries and dignitaries of the Yan Dynasty kept black pets as their best choice, thinking that they were humane, and they were not afraid of blessings and disasters like ordinary people. Some even specially kept this kind of pets to prove that they were different from ordinary people.
Black cats are especially loved by nobles, but most of the common people below still don't like black cats, thinking that they bring more misfortunes than blessings, and always feel bad luck.
Brother and sister Fang Xun and Fang Yuan came back with great difficulty, and Yao Shi would definitely bring some rare items to the table.
It's rare that today she didn't have a meal of wild vegetables to kill her stomach, but went to Zhang Butcher's to cut seven pieces of meat and came back, and then grabbed a handful of brown rice in the rice tank to cook rice, and when she mixed wild vegetables with pork and stir-fried vegetables, Spread some lard on the bottom of the pan.
Fang Xun was the first to come back. He came in to greet his mother and asked, "Mother, where is the osmanthus?"
Yao led him into the house, raised his chin towards the fire: "Isn't it there? Today it broke your bowl, so I locked it in the firewood room in a fit of anger. It didn't take long, maybe It was frozen, and when it came out, it huddled by the fire and didn't go anywhere."
Everything is good here in Luo County, except that it is cold early, and every year before the twelfth lunar month, people are frozen to death.
Fangjia Village is better here, and Luojia Village and Liujiatun, which are further away, are called cold.
Fang's family has a kang, but in Fang's house, it was built when Fang's father was alive, and usually only used when Fang's back, otherwise the Fang family could not afford the firewood.
When Yao was at home, he built a fire to warm his hands.
Seeing this, Fang Xun was also helpless: "Mother, didn't I ask Uncle Ge to come home to set up a kang when I came back last time? You asked Uncle Ge to go back after I left?"
Since Fang Xun received the silver last year, he has always said that Uncle Ge should come to his house to cook the kang. Yao only felt that this kang was for the rich and noble. Enough to pay for them for several years. It is too expensive.
Yao shi smiled sheepishly: "Where is it that I asked him to go back? He often helps the wealthy households in the town with their kangs and is very busy."
Fang Xun sighed in his heart, knowing his mother's temperament, he didn't say any more, and planned to go to Uncle Ge's again tomorrow.
Seeing that his son stopped talking about it, Yao took advantage of the situation and said, "Da Lang, I bought a lot of boiled meat today and fried meat and vegetables. I'm going to serve it for you. Wash your hands and sit down to eat quickly."
Fang Xun looked in the direction of the fire, fixed his eyes on the black cat for a while, and walked towards it.
Yu Jiatang has been so frozen that the shit-shoveling officer doesn't know anything. His body has attribute bonuses, no matter how good or strong, he still has the sense of cold and heat that he should have, and he can still be cold when he should be cold.
"Osmanthus fragrans?" Fang Xun picked it up and stroked its round ears.
Yao's knowledge is limited, and he has never seen a leopard before. He just thought it was a fast-growing black cat with a strange appearance. The first time Fang Xun saw this little guy, he knew it was a leopard or an extremely rare black panther. .
When Yu Jiatang heard the strange voice of the young man who was in the period of changing his voice, he closed his eyes even more tightly.
Hehe, the osmanthus of God, the osmanthus of the devil, the dog takes the osmanthus.
"Mother, can the sweet-scented osmanthus eat today?"
Yao himself hasn't eaten yet, and he plans to wait for his son and daughter to come back to eat together, how could he feed it.
Seeing this, Fang Xun knew the answer in his heart. He took out two large pieces of bacon from the bag he brought back. It was given to him by a classmate with a good family to eat on the road.
One piece was given to Yao Shi, and one piece of square graupel was cut into small pieces by himself, and then he took one bite at a time and fed it to the little leopard.
Yu Jiatang was amazed by the taste when he took the first bite of bacon. He has been a cat for three lifetimes. He has eaten many good things, but this is the first time he has eaten such authentic bacon.
Seeing the little leopard open its golden pupils, Fang Lai hurriedly stuffed two more pieces into its mouth.
After Yao put the food on the table, he turned around and saw this scene. He said "Ouch" and said a few words about the bacon, but he didn't stop his son in the end.
Fang Xun is filial and competitive. He was admitted as a scholar when he was only a teenager, entered the county school, and became a granary student. Now he has granary food every month and granary silver four liang every year.
Prices in the Yan Dynasty were low, and the four liang of silver was enough for a family like the Fang family to live comfortably for a year.
But Yao is frugal, and he thinks that Fang Xun will leave Qiuwei in August next year and go to the provincial capital. Yi'an heard that everything was expensive and scary, so Fang Xun realized that going out with his classmates was indispensable.
Those grannies, Yao shi saved all he could save, and the good things that Xianniang brought back to her mother's house every time, Yao shi was not willing to use them, all of them were pawned in the pawn shop in the town to exchange for silver. stand up.
At first, she was reluctant to eat the piece of bacon that Fang Xun asked Yao Shi to eat, and insisted on leaving it for her son to eat. Later, Fang Xun pretended to be angry, and Yao Shi had to eat it.
Yao was born in a farming family. Although she could not read a few words, she had seen a lot since she was a child. How her mother served her father and brothers, she developed a rigid temperament over time. After marriage, she never disobeyed her husband. , everything is subject to the meaning of the son.
After Fang Xun and Yao shi finished their meal, Fang Xun saw that it was still early, so he went to the mountain to guard for an afternoon before catching two hares.
Fangjia Village is surrounded by mountains, and there are many wild animals, but now that winter is approaching, many animals can no longer be seen, and occasionally one or two silly rabbits will come out.
Rabbit skins were sold in the town. This kind of animal fur was the most valuable in winter, and the price was several times higher than before. Much more expensive than rabbit meat.
And the rest of the rabbit meat was boiled with mushroom and rabbit broth, and even Yu Jiatang got a half pot of broth to drink.
Yu Jiatang has been eating meat and soup for the past two days, and he finally feels a little bit alive. In addition, Uncle Ge has already started to cook at home, so this winter may not be so difficult. Until now, he felt that the life of a cat in this life was so bright!
"Fang Guihua, come and help me deliver this bundle of firewood to the woodshed!" Yao's loud voice came from the gate of the courtyard.
When Yu Jiatang heard the sound, his body froze for a moment, then he got up from the fire pit exhausted physically and mentally, shook the dust off his body, and went to do coolies in the yard.
