Chapter 75 Do you want me to get you involved?

Jiang Li had just finished cleaning the lamb chops with Hei Duo and put them in the pot with water to simmer when she suddenly smelled a burnt smell. “What’s that smell? It smells like something’s burnt.” She sniffed her nose and turned her head to look around. Her gaze fixed on Xiao Liuzi behind her. The fish he was still roasting in front of him had turned completely black and charred, even the bonfire was billowing thick white smoke, choking Xiao Liuzi into coughing continuously, he couldn’t even open his eyes. “Xiao Liuzi, the fish is burnt!”

Jiang Li quickly ran over and snatched the roasted fish from his hand. She used a wooden stick to stir the bonfire, the scattered embers gradually emerged, and the white smoke gradually decreased. Seeing that the fire was gradually getting stronger, Jiang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, and threw the fish that had turned into charcoal to the side. “

Jiang Li, I’m sorry, I burnt the fish.” Xiao Liuzi hung his head, his two index fingers tapped back and forth, looking very wronged. Jiang Li smiled faintly, “It’s okay, it’s not your fault. You haven’t roasted fish before, I’ll do it.” Seeing that Jiang Li wasn’t angry, Xiao Liuzi raised his head innocently and smiled. “By the way, you haven’t answered me yet, how did your fruit sell at the market?” Jiang Li flipped the fish on the bonfire back and forth, her eyelids didn’t lift at all. “Sold out.” “Sold out?” Xiao Liuzi widened his eyes in surprise, he couldn’t help but swallow.

 “How many spirit stones did you sell it for?” Jiang Li thought for a moment, “I didn’t count.” She didn’t have much concept of money, if she had it, she would spend it, if she didn’t… she could still live… After selling the fruit, she just glanced at the spirit stones, and when she got home, she gave them to Qiao Shen, so she didn’t know how many spirit stones she had sold. “Then there must have been a lot of beastmen who bought it.”

 Xiao Liuzi mumbled softly. But Jiang Li heard it. She looked up at Xiao Liuzi, her eyes were flat, her words carried a hint of joking. “Do you want me to take you with me?” Xiao Liuzi froze, he slightly opened his lips and asked tentatively, “Can… can I?” Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, she pretended to hesitate for a moment. Under Xiao Liuzi’s expectant gaze, she slowly nodded.

“Of course.” She was planning to take the Black Bear Tribe people with her anyway. If she didn’t take them with her for such a money-making opportunity, she would definitely be hated, and she might even be tripped up by many people along the way. It’s better to have one more friend than one more enemy. She didn’t want to have conflicts with the beastmen here. But at the speed of selling fruit today, those few trees wouldn’t be able to sell for long.

She had to ask the system for more fruit saplings. “After you’ve eaten, you and us go pick fruit, there are many people who have reserved it, let’s pick more tonight. You go to the market with us tomorrow to sell fruit.” Hearing this, Xiao Liuzi rubbed his hands excitedly, he nodded in agreement without hesitation. “Okay, okay, okay!” After they finished eating, they greeted Qiao Shen and prepared to carry bamboo baskets to pick fruit.

 “Going so late? Don’t you want to rest for a while?” Qiao Shen asked. “No, the sooner we pick it, the sooner we can go to the market tomorrow.” After all, the beastmen who had made verbal reservations had agreed to wait for her at the stall. She was also afraid that they would be impatient. “Xiao Li, we’ll go with you too.” Xiao Jie and Xiao Gui came out of the house. Jiang Li shook her head, “No need, we’ll go by ourselves, you two stay at home and take care of Xiao Rui.”

 Seeing that Jiang Li had made all the arrangements, Xiao Jie and Xiao Gui also nodded in agreement and listened to her. When they arrived under the fruit trees, the three of them quickly filled the three bamboo baskets they brought. Jiang Li straightened up and wiped the sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand. Looking at the three large baskets of fruit in front of her, she let out a sigh of relief. Done! “It’s not early, let’s go back.”

As she spoke, Jiang Li bent down to pick up one of the baskets. But before her hand touched it, another strong hand snatched it away. Jiang Li looked up in confusion, only to see Hei Duo carrying the basket on his back, and then picked up another basket and hugged it to his chest. “Let me take it.” His voice was low and gentle. Jiang Li slowly straightened up, she didn’t stand on ceremony with him, she just smiled and nodded in agreement. Xiao Liuzi, who was standing beside him, saw this, he crossed his arms and looked at Hei Duo with dead fish eyes.

 “Hey, Hei Duo, I can’t carry it either, why don’t you help me carry it too?” Hei Duo didn’t even look at him, he silently said, “Go away.” He walked straight past him, without a trace of warmth. “Hei Duo!” Xiao Liuzi picked up the bamboo basket and carried it on his back, even a crabapple accidentally rolled off the basket. “You favor beauty over friendship!

We’ve been brothers since we were young, how can you treat me like this?” Jiang Li behind them picked up the crabapple that had fallen on the ground, blew on it with her mouth, rubbed it with her hand, and took a bite without any scruples. She silently followed behind Hei Duo and Xiao Liuzi, her eyes curved as she watched their joking banter. After they returned home, they put away the fruit and Xiao Liuzi also left.

Inside the house, Qiao Shen was lying on the straw mat, with Jun Rui sleeping beside her. “Qiao Shen.” Jiang Li walked over softly and called out in a low voice. Hearing the sound, Qiao Shen turned her head. “Xiao Li, you’re back?” Qiao Shen slowly sat up, afraid of waking Jun Rui beside her. “Qiao Shen, you’ve worked hard.” Qiao Shen smiled and shook her head, “It’s not hard, you guys are the ones who worked hard. Okay, now that you’re back, I’ll go back to rest.” “Well, okay.”

 Jiang Li came to Jun Rui’s side and gently lay down. The little guy was still sleeping soundly. But she couldn’t forget her own business. Jiang Li slowly closed her eyes, and kept calling out to the system in her heart. “System, system.” “Hmm, I’m here.” Jiang Li, “…” “What’s wrong? You call me out and then ignore me~” “Can you speak normally?” Jiang Li turned black, her hands clenched into fists. If she could see it, she would definitely press it to the ground and beat it up. “Okay, okay, you really don’t understand romance.” The system’s voice became normal.

 “Go on, what do you want me for?” “I want to ask you for more fruit saplings, and the nutrient solution you gave me last time is all gone.” “Okay, complete the mission, you want as many saplings as you want.” The system answered very simply and straightforwardly. But Jiang Li couldn’t help but frown slightly when she heard the words “complete the mission”. There was no other reason, it was just that the last mission gave her a little shadow. “Is the mission this time still so dangerous?” The last time it really took half her life. Although beastmen are tough and their wounds heal quickly, they didn’t play like this, did they?
