Quick Wear: The first person to love the host

Chapter 370 5 Spiritual Roots Little Waste 50

As for the original owner, it was obvious that he was the scumbag brother who half-sold and half-gave away the heroine.

He took the money and went to the county town to learn a skill, thinking of bringing his sister back after he finished his studies. However, because he was young and didn't know people well, he was not only cheated out of all his money but was also beaten and crippled.

When he finally dragged his sick leg back to the village, he found out that his sister had been sold to the immortal sect as a servant by that family for one or two taels of silver, and there was no possibility that they would see each other again in this life.

The original owner, who had already lost all desire to live, set a fire in anger and died together with the family.

When he opened his eyes again, Su Ziyu looked at the bare and leaky house and sighed silently.

What a hot potato he accepted.

Also, his sister is such a bitter little girl. Not only does she have to work like a slave for the male protagonist's lover, she also has to sacrifice her five spiritual roots, and finally she has to pay with her life for the scumbag.

This can't be called love, it's clearly a case of encountering a ghost.

Su Ziyu was so angry that his liver hurt. "Host, are you sure that my sister and that so-called Third Elder are destined to be together? Why do I feel that he has a deeper connection with that fake?"

The system shuddered at what it heard, [Host, this is unfortunate!]

Su Ziyu was speechless. He had made up his mind that he would instill the correct view of love in his sister in the future, and she would not let a scumbag suck her blood in the name of love.

Besides, that's not just sucking blood, it's simply squeezing out all the value in the body.

Su Ziyu had a lot of anger that he had no place to vent, but meeting a scumbag was something he would have to deal with in the future. The most urgent thing now was to think about how to fill his stomach and survive.

You know, it’s still nearly a month before the immortal sect in town starts recruiting disciples.

Seeing that his sister was still sleeping, Su Ziyu quietly got off the kang and took the opportunity to walk around the whole house.

The original owner's house consisted of two thatched houses, with a toilet and a kitchen at the two corners of the backyard respectively. Some vegetables were planted in the open space in the middle for the family to eat.

The front yard was fenced in, but it was better than nothing. Almost anyone passing by could see it all at a glance, leaving no privacy at all.

Su Ziyu finally went to the kitchen. Looking at the empty rice and flour jars, his heart sank even more. No wonder the original owner wanted to sell his sister half-price and half-gift her. If he hadn't given her away, she would have starved to death.

The original owner's parents fell off a cliff while collecting herbs and died. Even their bodies were never found. It was the village chief who helped arrange their funeral and built a cenotaph.

Almost all the money in the family was used for the funeral, leaving almost nothing.

Su Ziyu followed his memory and went to the place where his parents used to hide the money, but it was indeed empty. He searched a few more places and finally only found a dozen copper coins.

There is still nearly a month to go, and just thinking about it makes me feel stressed.

Su Ziyu clutched the copper coin and smiled bitterly, comforting himself that it was better than having nothing. At least he could exchange it for a bucket of rice when he was desperate, so that they would not starve.

He found a new place to hide the money, went back to the house to check and make sure his sister was still asleep. He picked up the big backpack at the door, locked the door and planned to go out and try his luck to see if he could find something to eat.

The village where the original owner lived was called Xihe Village.

The village got its name because there is a river running through it. Village women often wash clothes by the river, and older children occasionally play by the river in summer. However, a child once drowned, so few children play in the water.

There is a mountain not far to the south of the village. The vegetation on the mountain is lush. It is said that wild boars often appear there. Generally, no one dares to enter the mountain except hunters.

In addition, because of the incident with the original owner's parents, almost all the villagers avoided the mountain.

Su Ziyu took into consideration that his current body was only ten years old and had no ability to protect himself, so he did not rush into the mountains. Instead, he went to the river first to see if he could catch any fish.

It was noon at this moment, and most of the people in the village were eating at home. Smoke was rising from every household, and almost no one was wandering around outside.

He soon reached the river.

It was just the end of August, the hottest time of the year. Su Ziyu was sweating just walking over, but when he saw the shimmering water, he suddenly felt that it was all worth it.

Although this river is called Xihe, it is actually not thin at all.

The width of the river is estimated to be more than two meters, and the water is not turbid at all, it can even be said to be clear to the bottom, and the depth looks to be more than two meters.

It really is the unpolluted ancient times.

Su Ziyu put down the backpack, looked around, and made sure that there was no one around before taking off his clothes, jumping into the river and swimming a few times symbolically. After washing himself briefly, he started catching fish.

The fish in the river probably lived too comfortably and never thought that anyone would target them. Except for a few that escaped by accident at the beginning, Su Ziyu almost never had a chance to catch them afterwards.

Soon, he caught a dozen fish.

Su Ziyu was not greedy and went ashore immediately when he realized that he was exhausted.

After all, swimming is too physically demanding. He was already hungry, and now he was even hungrier. He wished he could grill a fish and eat it right away.

However, thinking that his sister was alone at home, he was really worried, so he had to endure the hunger, put on his clothes and walked back with the basket on his back.

The villagers who had finished their meal on the roadside were enjoying the cool air at the door. When they saw Su Ziyu passing by, an old lady immediately asked him curiously why he was not at home to rest in the middle of the day. She also kindly reminded him not to run around and be careful of heatstroke.

Su Ziyu pointed to his backpack and said, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I really don't have any food left at home, so I went to the river to catch some fish."

"Su boy, you went into the river!!"

The ladies who were chatting with him were startled at first, but then they saw that the fish in his basket were big and fat, and they couldn't help swallowing.

It is the busy farming season now, and all the men in the family are working hard in the fields, which consumes a lot of energy. Every household provides them with the best food, for fear that they will get exhausted.

Unfortunately, pork is too expensive and I can’t afford it.

If at this time, it would be great to have a fish to nourish the body.

Su Ziyu saw that they were excited, so he took the initiative to speak, "Aunts, my sister and I can't eat so many fish. If you like any, you can buy them for ten cents each, or you can exchange them for the corresponding grain."
