"Old man, how do you want to exchange this chick?"
Lu Fan walked up to the old beggar and asked.
The old beggar was so hungry that his bones were visible, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He held the chicken coop and said, "I want to exchange it for some food. Just give me some grain."
"I'm sorry, I don't have any food, but I can give you money. You can use the money to buy something to eat." Lu Fan said.
"real?"
When the old beggar heard about giving money, he looked incredulous.
"Well! However, I only have two cents on me. If you want, I can give you all of them. But you need to give me the chicks and the chicken coop." Lu Fan said as he looked around cautiously. After making sure that no one saw him, he took out two copper coins from his pocket.
Seeing Lu Fan really took out two copper coins, the old beggar instantly said excitedly: "Okay, two coins is two coins."
After saying that, he really gave the chicken coop and the chicks to Lu Fan.
After Lu Fan took it, he gave the two cents to the old beggar.
"Thank you, my benefactor. Thank you."
After receiving the copper coins, the old beggar expressed his gratitude to Lu Fan.
Lu Fan smiled and walked away with the chicken coop.
Lu Fan reaped a lot today.
Not only did I buy food and clothes, but I also bought a yellow-feathered chicken.
Although the chick is too small, Lu Fan feels that if he raises it to a big size, the chicken will be very delicious.
"It's time to go home."
In order to avoid attracting attention, Lu Fan deliberately found some weeds and covered the things he bought.
Then, he went home happily carrying the big iron pot.
City God Temple.
When Lu Fan came back, it was almost dark.
After entering the City God Temple, Lu Fan patted the snow off his body and looked around.
After making sure that there was no one around, he quickly ran behind the statue, pulled away the weeds, and pushed open the stone door.
Inside the cave.
Lu Ling'er, wearing worn and patched clothes, was picking rice.
Hearing the stone door being pushed open, she was startled and quickly picked up her sickle and shouted, "Who?"
"Ling'er, it's my brother who's back."
Lu Fan said as he walked down the stairs.
"Brother, you are finally back."
Seeing that it was Lu Fan who came back, Lu Linger threw down the sickle and threw herself into Lu Fan's arms.
"Hey, Ling'er, look at the new clothes I bought you, go change into them."
As he spoke, Lu Fan took out all the jackets, pants, and shoes he had bought.
Lu Linger looked at the new clothes and immediately jumped up with joy.
He kept saying: Brother, you are so nice!
Then I started to change clothes.
"Ling'er, are you hungry? I bought some oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar today. From now on, I'll make delicious food for you every day. We don't have to eat just rice anymore."
After Lu Fan finished speaking, he started to cook.
After a while.
Lu Fan cooked a big pot of white rice and fried two plates of wild vegetables.
Wearing her newly bought clothes and eating delicious dishes, Lu Linger felt that she was the happiest person in the world.
"Huh? Bro, what is this?"
Sudden,
Lu Linger saw the chicken coop that Lu Fan brought back.
"This is a yellow-feathered chicken that my brother bought when he came back."
As Lu Fan spoke, he opened the chicken coop and saw the bald-headed chick inside coming out of the coop, clucking timidly.
"Wow! Chicken!"
"Brother, you actually bought a chick?"
Lu Linger has loved small animals since she was a child. When she saw the chicks, she was immediately happy and hugged the bald chicken in her arms.
"Yes, when these chicks grow up, they can not only lay eggs, but also be slaughtered and eaten as chicken. How great is that." Lu Fan said.
When he heard Lu Fan say that he wanted to kill the chick for meat, he immediately protected the chicken and said, "Brother, no! I don't want to eat the chick. I want it to live."
Lu Fan laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. We won't eat it, we'll just let it lay eggs."
"Hehe, brother is still the best."
Lu Linger was happy now.
Then, Lu Fan continued planting.
…
Time passes day by day.
Blink,
Half a month passed.
During this half month, Lu Fan and his sister stayed in this cave.
Occasionally, Lu Fan would take his sister out of the cave and walk around the City God Temple.
Half a month.
Lu Linger, who used to be pale and thin, now has rosy lips and white teeth, and has grown a lot taller.
If she wasn't dressed so shabbily, she would have been a real beauty.
As for Lu Fan, during this half month, he grew taller and stronger, and even his strength became greater and greater.
In the huge cave.
All I saw inside were rice and wild vegetables planted by Lu Fan.
In addition, there was a big yellow-haired hen, cackle-cackle-cackle-ing.
This big hen was the bald chick that Lu Fan bought from the old beggar half a month ago.
However, what made Lu Fan curious was that since the little chick drank the gourd water, it grew faster day by day, and it laid more eggs than ordinary chicks!
An ordinary old hen lays one egg a day, but this big yellow-haired hen can lay more than a dozen eggs a day.
Sometimes, there are even more than twenty.
In addition to these, there was also a mountain of food stored in the cave.
A rough look shows that there are hundreds of stones.
These are all Lu Fan's harvest in the past half month.
Looking at the mountain of food, Lu Fan felt both happy and worried.
The good news is that my sister and I don't have to go hungry anymore.
What worries me is that there is too much food and there are no bags to put it in, so it can only be piled here.
But if they are piled here, it will take up too much space, and I will feel bad if they are eaten by mice.
"Oh, it would be great if there was something that could store all this food and hide it."
"Gourd, don't you think?"
As Lu Fan spoke, he muttered to the black gourd in his hand.
Ever since he discovered the magical effect of the black gourd, Lu Fan carried it on his back all day long, even when he was eating and sleeping.
Just as Lu Fan finished speaking, the pattern on the bottom of the black gourd suddenly flashed slightly.
Immediately following.
call out!
In front of Lu Fan's eyes, the mountain of food in front of him disappeared in an instant.
"Oh my god...where's my food?"
The moment Lu Fan saw the mountain of food in front of him disappear, he jumped in shock.
"No, it seems like the gourd lit up again just now! Could it be that this magic gourd has stored up all its food?"
Thinking of this, Lu Fan quickly picked up the gourd and took a look.
He fixed his eyes on the mouth of the gourd, and sure enough, he could see with the naked eye that there was a small mountain of grain inside the gourd.
"My God, this gourd can actually hold so much food?"
Lu Fan was shocked all of a sudden.
What made Lu Fan even more surprised was that this magic gourd could not only hold food, but could also completely isolate it from water.
It seems like,
It seems like there are countless non-overlapping spaces inside the gourd.
