You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 8 Keep a close eye on Lu Yuanbo's suicidal tendencies

Never mind, time will tell.

The original owner of this body was always unreliable and had no authority as an older brother.

Lu Yuanbo and Lu Yuanhuan were both very kind to him and cared about him a lot, but only because he was their third brother.

But the issues of respect and reliance cannot be obtained through a single meal.

Lu Yuanqing stopped explaining, put down his bowl, and said, "Alright, finish eating and get to work! We finished early today, so go gather firewood and dig for wild vegetables. Xiao Nan, stay home and take care of your younger siblings."

Shihua Village is a small mountain village in the Bashu region, with a relatively flat terrain.

It's really rare to find a village in this hilly area where you don't have to climb the mountain to get to the town.

This directly shattered the idea in the novel that one could go up the mountain to collect firewood and dig for wild vegetables.

Mountains are things that can only be vaguely seen when looking into the distance, but cannot be reached on foot in a few hours.

They not only didn't have a mountain nearby, but they also needed to go down the mountain.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as going downhill.

Shihua Village is the fifth production team, and beyond the end of the village are just patches of land. After walking for about twenty minutes along winding paths, there is a road that goes downhill.

Standing at the top, you can look down and see patches of uneven land, which belong to Shihua Village and are planted with crops.

Then, following the path we had just emerged from, we walked for another ten minutes or so, and then we looked down again. There was a very large forest there, with many different kinds of trees, mostly oak trees, so they all called this place the oak forest.

This is also where the villagers of Shihua Village gather firewood and dig for wild vegetables.

The oak forest doesn't grow on flat terrain. If you walk downhill, rushing straight down a steep path worn down by many people, you can traverse the oak forest in about twenty minutes.

Next is another production brigade.

Their terrain puts them at a disadvantage compared to Shihua Village.

Because it only takes a little over an hour to walk from Shihua Village to the town, and although the road is winding, it has been walked by countless generations and is at least relatively flat, without having to go through very steep uphill or downhill sections.

To get to the town, they had to climb a very steep and very large hillside, and then climb another hillside that was not so steep, before they could reach the territory of Shihua Village.

At this point, the distance they were traveling to the town finally matched that of Shihua Village.

The oak forest is vast and uneven, making even gathering firewood and digging for wild vegetables a challenging task.

As for the wild game that Lu Yuanqing initially wanted, after sorting out the original owner's memories, he could only shrug and say that the oak forest was inseparable from birds, which chirped and chattered incessantly in the tall trees all day long.

As for other animals, very few people are able to see them.

There are no wild boars in my imagination. Even if they existed before, they disappeared after a path was carved out of the oak forest.

The original owner did see pheasants that flew very fast when he was a child, but he never saw anyone catch them.

Forget about relying on the mountains for sustenance.

……

Lu Yuanqing was quite lucky to be assigned to a work location today.

He was right under a huge banyan tree, which shielded him from the sun, and a breeze would blow in from time to time, making it very cool.

Lu Yuanqing was a northerner in his previous life, but he never expected to end up in the southwest this time.

It has to be said that this place is really perfect for taking it easy because of its terrain.

Unlike the flat land of the north, the land and paddy fields here are situated at varying elevations.

This piece of land may require crossing a few hurdles, while that piece of land may require going down a few steps.

The land was also distributed around the production team.

Some people work at the entrance of the village, some work at the end of the village, and the entire village is surrounded by land.

This makes it impossible to see through at a glance.

The village chief oversees this area, so other places can't be taken care of for the time being.

At times like these, slacking off becomes 'openly legitimate'.

Speaking of slacking off, Lu Yuanqing straightened up about ten times that morning.

As he straightened up again, he realized that Lu Yuanbo, who had been working not far from him, was nowhere to be seen.

He didn't pay attention at first.

After all, not to mention children, even adults need to slack off. Even if Lu Yuanbo is hiding somewhere to slack off, it's understandable.

But after he stretched, rubbed his aching back, and looked around, he stopped stretching in the same spot.

It's Gu Hewang again.

Now that there's food at home, why is Lu Yuanbo standing with Gu Hewang again?

Haven't you given up on the idea of ​​going to the black market?

Thinking of the hundreds of kilograms of grain he had stored in the system space, Lu Yuanqing could no longer hold back and shouted into the distance, "Lu Yuanbo, what are you doing? Get back here!"

Even from a distance, you could see Gu Hewang's dejected face, and he looked extremely angry.

Lu Yuanbo was confused and annoyed. When he heard Lu Yuanqing call out, he immediately turned around and ran back.

Before even getting close, just a few meters away, Lu Yuanqing asked in a questioning tone, "Didn't you and Gu Hewang used to be at odds? How come you've been seeing each other so often these past few days?"

Feeling guilty, Lu Yuanbo avoided his aggressive gaze and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Gu Hewang has something to do and wants me to go with him."

"Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious," Lu Yuanqing said calmly. "Fourth brother, you're the least bright in the family. You're easily fooled. Don't let anyone deceive you!"

"What?!" Lu Yuanbo retorted, "Third Brother, you're the one who's not thinking straight!"

"Don't think I don't know. You used to go around digging for wild vegetables and picking fruits to exchange for money and things, and you gave them all to Sister Baoxia. You're the one who's not thinking straight!"

At least he wouldn't give away all the things he worked so hard to earn; he would definitely keep them for himself.

He overheard his sisters-in-law chatting, saying that his third brother was completely under Gu Baoxia's thumb and would definitely be a henpecked husband in the future.

Besides, his family has been saying for a long time that Lu Yuanqing is easily influenced, and now that they're talking back, Lu Yuanbo isn't holding back at all.

"..." Lu Yuanqing thought to himself, what does it have to do with the original owner being so easily swayed? He'll just deny it anyway. "Hmph, you think I'm so gullible? Then what were you and Gu Hewang doing?"

Okay! Lu Yuanbo instantly lost his composure and became less assertive.

"Third Brother, let's get to work! Otherwise, the village chief might see us." Lu Yuanbo picked up a hoe and started working.

They're trying to get away with it!

Lu Yuanqing had no intention of exposing him.

But he had to abandon his idea of ​​going to the black market.

He didn't want the task he had worked so hard to complete and the rewards he received to simply disappear.

Let's keep an eye on things at least for now!
