Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 345 2 Ya

After sighing for a long time on the mountain, Zuo Zhizhi finally picked up the bamboo basket and staggered down the mountain.

There is no way. She is only 5 years old now. She is already young, and she is not well fed and not well dressed. Her body is so thin that she is no different from a 3 or 4-year-old child.

In this situation, it is definitely difficult to carry a heavy bamboo basket filled with a lot of firewood on your back.

But unfortunately, everyone in the surrounding mountains is like this, and children her age often go up the mountain to help.

Although it was just a simple matter of picking up some firewood and occasionally finding some food, it could still save a lot of food for the family.

In ancient times, firewood was ranked first among the necessities of life, not without reason.

Because in ancient times, if you wanted to drink hot water, you had to light a fire again, which required a lot of firewood.

Before in the ancient world, Zuo Zhizhi didn't notice anything because she was in the aristocratic class and could just ask someone to boil water whenever she wanted.

But now, even if I want to wash my face in the morning, I can only use cold water.

As for boiling water? Don't even think about it.

Because this is an important asset.

If there is extra firewood at home, they will take it to the wealthier families in the village and exchange it for some copper coins.

This is the family income of many people and should never be underestimated.

After returning home with difficulty and eating the food that was completely inedible, Zuo Zhizhi quietly put them into the space, and then while going out to play, she wolfed down all the buns in the space.

When Zuo Zhizhi went out, she found a little child crying in the haystack outside.

If it was before, she might still be a little scared, but after traveling through time for so long, she also knew that this was her neighbor Erya.

In this case, my situation is not bad, at least compared to Erya, it is very good.

Erya's parents died early, so she has been living with her brother and sister-in-law.

But as a girl, without biological parents and with a poor family, she was naturally the only scapegoat.

So in their family, Erya is the lowest person in society.

First of all, you need to work hard during the day. Although you are still young, you have to take on a lot of work.

Secondly, she was beaten by her brother and sister-in-law. Whenever they were not satisfied, they would vent their anger on Erya.

Not to mention the children born to her brother and sister-in-law, who would point at her nose and curse her every day and snatch her food away.

Zuo Zhizhi looked at the child and felt very distressed.

It’s a pity that according to my situation, I don’t have the energy to help others, so I can only do a little.

For example, just now at dinner, she couldn’t swallow her own pancakes, so she quietly put them into the space.

"Arya, are you there?"

A thin and pitiful child quietly poked his head out, and was still hiccuping because he had cried so hard.

When Zuo Zhizhi saw the person, she walked over carefully and handed over the pancake.

Although there are better things in the space, it is absolutely impossible to take them out.

In ancient times, refined rice and refined flour were something only the nobility could afford.

If I take these out myself, everyone will definitely ask me the reason.

The most important thing is that I can't explain it at all.

So I could only bring out my homemade cakes, which had a reason and would not arouse suspicion.

Erya looked at Zuo Zhizhi, slowly stretched out a hand to take the pancake, and then began to eat it voraciously.

The cakes in ancient times were not finely polished, so they were very rough.

In addition, it is impossible to add oil when making the pancakes, so they taste dry and choking, and have no taste, so they cannot be called delicious.

But even so, Erya didn't dislike it at all. She stuffed it into her mouth in a few seconds, fearing that someone else would snatch it away.

The two of them didn't start talking until Erya finished eating the pancake.

Actually, there is nothing much to say. Although they are neighbors and are about the same age, and seem to have common topics on the surface, their situations are actually very different.

Although Zuo Zhizhi's family is not rich, at least her parents are still alive, so she doesn't have to suffer from her brother's bullying.

But the situation on Erya's side is not so good.

The older sister was sold out by her brother and sister-in-law at an early age, and her situation is probably not much different.

I just don’t know when these days will end.

Zuo Zhizhi looked up at the starry sky. The unpolluted sky was very beautiful. It was a pity that they were just a group of ordinary people struggling for food and clothing. They were not qualified to appreciate such a scenery.

The two talked for a while and then left.

Zuo Zhizhi was still struggling.

There is really no hope in living like this. Although her parents are quite good to her, she doesn't want to stay in this poor mountain village all her life.

There are no signs of the protagonist or supporting characters nearby, so it is almost impossible that this is the location of the protagonist.

Therefore, Zuo Zhizhi had to make up her mind quickly.

To be honest, I can still barely survive even if I leave him quietly.

Apart from anything else, the things in his own space are enough for him to have food and clothing for the rest of his life.

When she grows up a little, she will be able to live as a widow or find another identity, which will at least be much better than now.

As for her parents in this life, Zuo Zhizhi had no choice. The most she could do was to leave some money behind when she passed away so that they could live a happy life.

As for how a child should survive, Zuo Zhizhi was not worried. At worst, they could just live in the space.

You can go to various cities to buy the items you need during the day, and go to the space to sleep at night without any delay.

Zuo Zhizhi sighed because her body was stiff and she accidentally turned over. There were too many people on the bed and there was no place for her to rest.

This was also the reason why Zuo Zhizhi left. There was no other way. The family was too poor, with many children and no other income, so the family had to tighten their belts and live.

Just as she closed her eyes, Zuo Zhizhi suddenly sat up again.

Seeing her younger brother and sister grumbling a few words in dissatisfaction and then turning over and falling asleep again, Zuo Zhizhi carefully opened the door and walked out.

These past few days, she had been checking the situation regarding the protagonist and the surroundings, and hadn't thought about the problems on her side at all.

Now I suddenly remembered, where did my golden finger go?

In fact, Zuo Zhizhi's requirements for the golden finger are not high. To be precise, it doesn't make much difference to her whether she has the golden finger or not.

The cheat code for the first world is mind reading, which is basically useless now because the skill is exactly the same as the protagonist's logo that you checked.

Apart from occasionally asking other people what they think when you can't check the plot, it has no other purpose at all.

Zuo Zhizhi doesn’t use it very often.
