At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

Chapter 229 Obstruction

Gu Damao felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. Before he could apologize, he heard Gu Sanmu running back happily. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted, "Mom, it's sprouting!"

Gu Sanmu's excitement infected everyone present. He didn't care whether others understood him or not and continued:

"Mom, you are amazing. I took the potato pieces you gave me and cultivated them in sandy soil and watered them according to your instructions. Before I came back, I wanted to take another look at them, but I didn't expect them to sprout!

"Grandpa Youzu was so happy that he almost fainted. He quickly cut up the potatoes and put them in the sand to germinate. Brother Maitian also praised me for my talent. I said it was all thanks to you, Mom. After hearing that, they all said that you are worthy of being a messenger of God. You know everything!"

Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

The expert is really amazing. After applying the medicine according to the method described in the book, the seeds sprouted so quickly.

It seems that growing potatoes is just around the corner.

"Sanmu, you've done great. Mom knew you'd be alright! I'll go with you tomorrow to check things out. Almost everyone's family has run out of food. If this continues, there's bound to be a big mess. The key to solving the problem is the potatoes you're planting now, Sanmu."

Gu Sihe took over the topic and jumped to say: "And me, and the seeds I planted!"

"Yes, and our Shihe, you two are good kids!"

When Gu Sanmu heard that what he was doing was so important, he felt satisfied but also a little nervous.

Mother trusts him so much, what if he doesn't do well?

Although Gu Damao felt a little self-pitying just now, he still fulfilled his responsibilities as the eldest brother when he saw his younger brother like this.

"Sanmu, since mother is confident in handing this matter to you, it proves that you are fine. Besides, if anything really happens, we are here."

Gu Sanmu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and found that there was a stranger in his house. He asked in surprise, "You, who are you and why are you in my house?"

As soon as Gu Ermiao and Gou Shi reached the door of the dilapidated temple, they heard a laugh coming from inside.

"Little brother, what did I say? Why didn't you come here with me earlier? Aren't you sent here anyway? Our village head is just good at talking..."

When Song Yang heard someone slandering him like this, his face immediately turned cold and he said viciously: "Song Dazhi, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue!"

Song Dazhi seemed completely unfazed by his threats. He spat a mouthful of thick phlegm with a nonchalant look and said, "There's no need to dirty your hands, Mr. Village Chief. Just tell me where you want me, and I'll give it to you with both hands!"

Song Yang ignored his nonsense and helped them walk to another corner of the dilapidated temple. He took out a tinder from his pocket and handed it to them, saying, "I'll bring you some bedding later. Please stay here for one night. I'll come and pick you up tomorrow morning."

After settling them down, Song Yang kicked Song Dazhi, who was curled up in a ball and about to go to sleep, and said coldly, "Come on, come home with me!"

Upon hearing this, Song Dazhi stood up in surprise and said, "Oh my! I never thought I'd have the chance to visit the village head again! I wonder what delicious food my sister-in-law made today..."

Gu Ermiao frowned as he watched the two men leave and said, "Is it because Song Li is suspicious of us that he deliberately called Song Dazhi away?"

Gou pushed him down onto the straw and said, "We'll know later if he brings us some bedding. But I don't think that's necessarily the case. Perhaps there's some secret in Songjiazhai that can't be made public. Don't worry about it. Just lie down and rest. I'll check on your injuries."

Then, with the light of the fire in the dilapidated temple, Gou finally saw the purple scars on his body, and tears immediately flowed uncontrollably.

Gu Ermiao, however, acted as if nothing had happened and said, "Don't take it to heart, Auntie. It's nothing. There are no broken bones. I've been beaten worse by my uncle before..."

Gu Ermiao was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

How could he speak ill of his uncle in front of his aunt?

But unexpectedly, his words made Gou cry even more sadly.

"Oh, you are such a silly kid. How can you make your mother cry so sadly?" Song Dazhi came back at this time, climbed back to his haystack, and threw two steamed buns to Gu Ermiao.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Boy, come here and cover your mother with this ragged quilt. Just don't mind the smell."

Gu Ermiao thanked him for his kindness but did not take it.

"Hey, silly boy, are you still waiting for the headman to bring you a quilt? Didn't I tell you that he just said something nice, but if you believe him, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later. Look at my legs, that's the best proof."

Gu Ermiao said with great interest, "But I remember the village head said that your leg was broken because you couldn't repay the gambling debt..."

Song Dazhi laughed so hard he couldn't stop coughing. Wiping away his tears, he said, "So that's how the village head introduced me? He really does use people who are ahead of him, not those who are behind him. He was clearly the one who broke my legs."

"Ah?" Gu Ermiao patted the choked Gou on the back and asked in confusion, "That's really strange. Why would the village head lie to us two outsiders?"

Song Dazhi turned over and said, "Who can guess what our village head is thinking?"

Gu Ermiao wanted to ask Song Dazhi why his leg was broken, but he unexpectedly started snoring, obviously not wanting to talk anymore.

Gou patted the back of Gu Ermiao's hand and whispered, "Rest first. I'll wake you up if anything happens."

Gu Ermiao wanted to close his eyes and take a nap, but he didn't expect that he would fall into a deep sleep.

In the second half of the night, he was awakened by Gou's screams.
