Chen Shen sighed in his heart, there are probably a lot of similar treasures in this world, only that their mundane appearance hides their powerful functions, leaving them useless from their infancy to their destruction.
"Alas, even if you were a piece of grass, I'd eat it if I bit my tongue, but if you're a piece of shit, then I can only love it."
Chen Shen shook his head, no longer paying attention to that piece of shit, and began to experiment with the other functions of the system.
Unconsciously, the sun gradually went down, and the time came to evening.
The tenants carried their farming tools home.
...
"System, find me the most handsome person within a ten meter radius!"
"The host can see it by looking in the mirror."
Hearing the system's reply, Chen Shen took a look at the small bronze mirror at home and was very satisfied.
After taking a look in the mirror, Chen Shen's face changed, today he had over-tuned the system, and had forgotten to cook for his parents!
Just when he was in a hurry to try to pan the rice, his father Chen Shan and mother Qin Rou had already arrived home.
"Uh ... Father, Mother, I forgot to cook today." Chen Shen was a little embarrassed to see his parents' tired faces.
When his words came out, before his father and mother could say anything, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the house.
"It's fine, let's eat at Auntie's house today."
As the voice fell, a robust older woman entered the house.
This older woman was none other than Chen Shen's neighbor, Er Ya's mother, whom Chen Shen generally called Aunt Li.
Chen Shan and Qin Rou sniffed but sighed, today they were really not in the mood to eat.
The harvest season is approaching, but the upstream dyke has a problem, the entire stone village fields have been flooded, this year's harvest is almost zero.
In this case, how can Stone Village pay the rent?
You know, in these days, not paying the rent is a big deal, the lesser case is to be beaten up, and then kicked out of the farm to become a chaotic people, the heavier case is to sell their children, exile thousands of miles, and never be able to turn around.
"Xiao Shen, why don't you marry Er Ya." At this time, Chen Shan suddenly opened his mouth.
"Ah?!"
Chen Shen was dumbfounded at his words, Erma was only fourteen years old this year, although in this world getting married at the age of fourteen that was a common thing, but how could he, a good young man who had received a socialist education, accept this kind of thing?
What's more, since childhood, he and Erma have nothing in common, there is no love of man and woman to marry what to marry?
Erma revealed her head from behind Aunt Li at this time, her expression timid.
The tenant's daughter is not good-looking, her skin is a healthy wheat color, and her figure is a bit dry and thin.
Looking at Erma's expression, Chen Shen's heart moved, it can't be that this little girl is secretly in love with herself, right? And then mention it to Auntie Li, right?
Indeed, his own temperament in this small village seems very outstanding, it is very normal to have a crush on yourself, but ...
"System, who loves themselves in a ten meter radius?" After experimenting with the system for half a day, Chen Shen subconsciously asked in his mind.
"There are three targets."
Hearing the system's answer, Chen Shen's heart thumped, as expected, Erma secretly loved herself!
Two of the three targets were definitely parents, there were no parents under the sky who did not love their children.
As for the other one, who else could it be besides Erma? Could it still be Auntie Li? ...
"Being too outstanding is really a mistake ...," Chen Shen murmured in his heart while thinking about how to reject this undeserved fate.
At this time, the system began to localize.
"Two targets are directly in front of you, for the other target, walk forward two meters, then turn left five meters."
Hearing this prompt, Chen Shen suddenly froze.
The ones directly in front of him were of course his parents, but the other target was not where Erma was.
Subconsciously acting on the system's prompts, without realizing it, Chen Shen came back to the pig pen and stood in front of the pile of pig shit.
Looking at Old Black in the pig pen, Old Black similarly looked at him.
A man and a pig stared at each other with wide eyes, at this moment Chen Shen had mixed feelings in his heart.
It was so touching that Old Black, a pig, loved himself!
For some reason, he suddenly felt that Old Black, a black pig, had become kind, and there was something more in his eyes called compassion.
"Old Black, it's not in vain that I've fed you for so many years, I didn't expect you to be a bit humane, no wonder you can pull out such extraordinary shit."
Chen Shen walked to Old Black and patted its head and said softly.
"Humph ..."
Old Black grunted twice, closed its eyes and rubbed Chen Shen's hand a few times with a very enjoyable expression.
Chen Shen saw this also smiled, the family has raised a pig for close to ten years, and he has feelings that is normal.
However, since Erma does not like himself, why did his father say that he would marry Erma?
Thinking of this, he walked towards the house again.
Inside the house, his parents were conversing with Auntie Li.
"My family can't pay the field rent, we can still take out a pig to offset it, but your family ..."
The mother, Qin Rou, said while looking at Er Ya.
Aunt Li was on the verge of tears at the words.
The landlords of Stone Village were not benevolent lords, if she couldn't pay the field rent, nine times out of ten, they would capture Er Ya and sell her to a kiln.
She is a widow, not much ability, and Erma and depend on each other for so many years is very difficult, if Erma is really sold, she can not live.
Outside the house Chen Shen saw this heart has guessed most of the things.
Obviously, the fields in Stone Village had problems this year, and the rent could not be paid.
The parents were worried that Erma had been abducted and sold, so they offered to let themselves marry Erma.
Back then, Erma's father had been kind to his own family, and there was no excuse for his parents to choose this way.
In this world, an ordinary tenant can't leave the village for the rest of his life, and his marriage partner is only a few people of the same age in the same village, so it's likely that his parents originally intended for him to marry Erma.
If in the past, Chen Shen might have resigned himself to his fate, but now he is a person with a system that will become an immortal sooner or later, facing this kind of thing, is there still a need to commit himself to marriage to solve the problem?
Is that worthy of his status?
Thinking of this, he directly entered the house and said: "Father, mother, is there a problem with the field rent? I remember there are still three days left before the rent is due, right? Three days, I'll go and raise the rent, I'm sure I can raise it!"
"The field rent is more than 1000 Wen, you ..." Qin Rou wanted to say and then stopped.
Chen Shen waved his hand and said, "Mother, do you still remember the accountant of the He Feng Pharmacy in the county town? He said that I have a talent for arithmetic and wants to take me on as an apprentice, so I'll go find him and maybe I can get an advance on some of the wages."
"But ..."
"Haha, no need for buts, I'm sixteen now, it's not a good idea to hang around at home all day, also, Old Black is a good pig, don't sell it." Chen Shen said with a smile, then ran directly towards the village entrance.
Stone Village is only ten miles away from the county town, he can probably get there by nightfall if he goes now.
"Little Shen! Why don't we go tomorrow! It's not safe at night!"
The worried cries of his parents came from behind him.
"It's fine!"
Chen Shen shouted, then quickened his pace.
It was easier for him to do things at night, as for safety? What was there to worry about, being penniless, would anyone rob him?
