Chapter 75 Excuse for going up the mountain(1/2)
【Host! Host!】
Mayberry, who was about to take a nap after lunch, was woken up by the system's heartbreaking screams in her head.
"What are you doing~~"
Meiberry, who had not yet completely woken up, grumbled reluctantly, then picked up the pillow and covered her head directly in an attempt to escape.
[Tomorrow at noon! On the mountain, over there in the cave where the hero used to live! The heroine will fight the man in black! 】
"I go!"
Meiberry immediately stood up like a carp, then sat up with a flutter.
Now she was really not sleepy anymore.
By the way, Mei Youqian and his wife were also woken up from their nap.
"What's wrong?" Wei Meili turned around and looked at her daughter who was sitting up, "Are you having a nightmare?"
"I'm a little thirsty, go down and drink some water."
Without disturbing her resting parents, Mei Mei got out of bed, pulled on her cloth shoes and walked out. She sat on a bamboo chair in the hall and drank a glass of cold water to clear her head.
Mayberry recalled what the system had just told her, including the location and time.
It seems like she really needs to prepare early.
[System, if the man in black appears near me tomorrow, will you remind me? 】
I remembered that when Meiberry asked the system about the man in black this morning, the system only told Meiberry that there was someone there, but did not tell her the specific location.
It's hard not to make Meiberry worry about accidentally walking into a circle surrounded by men in black when checking in, or entering the area where Meiyou and men in black are fighting without staying, which would be embarrassing.
She, including her father, are not people with any military value.
The heroine can beat them violently,
Mayberry can be beaten violently by them.
【meeting.】
There is no need for the system to hide it this time. The plot has already reached that point. If it reminds the host, it will not affect the plot.
It hosts such a small body, and the system is worried that she will be punched and vomited.
[The heroine is planning to beat up these men in black so soon? Did she plan in advance, or was she originally planning for this time?]
System: [It’s ahead of schedule, but it’s not because of you.]
[I’m not narcissistic enough to think that I can achieve the butterfly effect in everything I do.] Mei Berry expressed dissatisfaction with the last half sentence of the system, [Did Mei You discover something? So she had no choice but to beat up the man in black.]
Meiberry remembered the words on the task in the system, and asked abruptly: "But then again, these men in black are actually not bad people, right?"
System:【Why do you think so?】
[If he is really a bad guy and does these things, it is possible to kill him directly with Meiyu's temperament. There is no need for me to check in just "beat him up".]
system:【……】
The system refuses to communicate, its host is poisonous_(:3 ∠)_!
It's just that every refusal to communicate is unilateral.
Seeing the silence of the system, Meiberry laughed again and asked: "Actually, it has something to do with the male protagonist, right? Those people must be the male protagonist and they sent people to investigate~"
System:【Hey~】
Mayberry:?
The system chuckled, and Mei Berry felt a little panicked for no reason.
Did she guess something wrong?
Until the evening, Mei Bei waited for Mei Youqian and Wei Meili to finish today's affairs before telling them about the check-in.
"If it's noon tomorrow, then let's go into the mountains early in the morning?"
Since the system has been informed so much in advance, it must be well prepared at home.
"Yes." Mei Bei nodded, but remembering Mei You's attitude when talking about this to her in the morning, she said cautiously, "Let's take a detour tomorrow morning to avoid being discovered by the heroine in advance."
With Meiyou's temperament, since she wants to catch all those who are following her, she will definitely make arrangements in advance.
Just like when she beat a tiger, she also set up a trap in the early stage to injure the tiger and consume it.
It's just that Mei Berry didn't want to be caught by Mei You before she made a move. Maybe Mei You would think her presence would be a hindrance and send her down the mountain.
"Forget it, I'll go with you too."
Meiberry's original plan was to take her father up the mountain with her, but in the end her mother was not too worried about them and planned to check in together.
"You two, father and daughter, have to go early and take a detour. Last time you carried your daughter on the road, you even threw her..."
In short, Meiberry and her father were scolded and disliked by her mother. Among the three members of the family, Meiberry herself had the lowest strength, and she had no say in who could go up the mountain and who could not.
Come on, come on, the reward will be given to them as a family anyway, so let’s go together.
Mayberry thought in confusion.
So the next morning, before dawn, Mayberry's family went out.
He quietly took a detour and took a small road outside the village to go up the mountain. As a result, his fat tiger was squatting on a branch at the intersection waiting for him.
Because it was not completely bright at the time, those green eyes like lanterns in the dark scared the Mayberry family!
"Meow!"
Fat Tiger jumped up to Mei Berry and swept his tail across Mei Berry's calf. Mei Berry looked down at Fat Tiger and listened to it meow for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief and placed the small weight directly on his head as if he was resigned to his fate.
"It said it wanted to follow us."
And you have to squat on top of your head!
Mayberry now only feels like she has a big, heavy and warm hat on her head.
"Forget it, just take it one piece at a time. After all, this can be regarded as Tiger's master."
Mei Youqian didn't care about Fat Hu's arrival, and even teased Fat Hu, hoping that Fat Hu would be able to use his abilities later.
"Meow~"
Do not worry!
As if she understood her father's words, Meiberry actually felt a confident voice of agreement from the big hairy mass on top of her head.
This path up the mountain is really quite long, and when it gets completely bright, the Mayberry family doesn't know where to rest in the mountain.
Meiberry took a deep breath and felt the moist air in the mountain forest, then lowered her head and glanced at the footprints along the way to her home.
This road should be rarely visited by people. The ground was either moss or weeds. On the contrary, they did not step on any soil, nor did they feel any slippery soil.
"How far is it?"
Because of the "hat" on the top of Meiberry's head, it was extremely hot. She kept fanning herself with her hands and asked the system to help her measure the punching distance.
The system did some calculations and found that at their previous speed, they could arrive within an hour.
This is still a long time before clocking in at noon.
"Then don't worry."
After listening to Mei Mei's words, Mei Youqian and his wife did not become anxious.
It actually felt like a wild outing along the way.
"Oh my god! Look what I found!"
Wei Meili's startled breath attracted the attention of father and daughter Mei Mei and Mei Youqian.
As soon as the two of them turned around, they didn't know when Wei Meili had deviated from the route, squatting not far from them and pulling at a green vine-like plant.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"Kudzu!"
Wei Meili excitedly pointed at the push of green vines that she had gathered together.
Meiberry didn't recognize it when she saw it. Apart from confirming that it could be used as a natural rope, she didn't understand what its use was.
"Its root, the kudzu powder I bought for your grandma to eat was the rhizome of this guy!"
As soon as Wei Meili finished speaking, the wooden stick she had just used had already dug up the soil, and the oval-shaped rhizomes inside immediately fell into their eyes.
It’s edible!
Mayberry reacted immediately.
"Take it into space!"
"okay!"
Mayberry also carefully confirmed with the system that no one dared to boldly stuff all the dug kudzu into the space.
