From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 27 A few days later

Looking at the tightly closed door of the earthen house, Jiang Yao was speechless.

"As the saying goes, a man who eats someone's food is grateful for what he has received."

"This old man was smiling when he took my things, but in the blink of an eye, he told me to get lost..."

"Forget it, a master must have a temper. I am magnanimous and won't bother with him!"

He muttered something secretly and tried to comfort himself. Although he was not very willing, under the current circumstances, Jiang Yao could only get on his bike and head back the way he came.

With the panel light curtain as a background, he had thought about going to some desolate places in the middle of the night to actively provoke those evil things.

But now, Wang Dahai’s death really scared him a little.

After all, his panel light screen can only give him a reminder when a disaster is coming.

What if the disaster came too quickly and he had no time to resolve it? Then his ending would probably not be much better than Wang Dahai's.

It would be a lie for Jiang Yao to say that he was not jealous of Carpenter Xu's skills.

After all, the golden finger he possesses can only be rewarded after surviving a disaster.

At present, he only knows that only when he encounters that kind of evil thing can a disaster be caused and displayed on the panel.

In this case, unless he doesn't want to obtain the incredible rewards given by the system, it is only a matter of time before he takes the initiative to provoke those things.

If Jiang Yao could learn Carpenter Xu's skills, he would feel more at ease whenever he wants to do something.

"Forget it. The main reason I came here today with cigarettes and alcohol was just to ease the relationship with this old man."

"For the time being, my goal has been achieved. After all, he didn't chop me with a carrying pole and let me in, didn't he?"

"There's no rush to learn skills from him. Take your time."

"Whenever I have time, I'll come to visit him more often. The more I visit, the closer our relationship will become."

……

Jiang Yao was thinking about something as he rode his bike unsteadily.

By the time he got home, it was already past seven in the evening and it was already dark, but the night was not too dark.

The houses of the surrounding neighbors were brightly lit, but Jiang Yao's house was still dark.

"The cart is not here. It's already this late. Mom hasn't come back from selling vegetables yet?"

"Anyway, I'm not planning on going fishing tonight, so I might as well go pick her up while I have time!"

After looking around and seeing that there was no cart at home, Jiang Yao went into the house, parked his bicycle, then walked out of the house and headed towards the main road leading from the village to the county town.

More than ten minutes later, when they were almost at the entrance of the village, Jiang Yao finally saw his mother pulling a cart, looking exhausted, and walking slowly towards them.

"Mom, let me pull the cart."

"You came back so late, is business bad today?"

Jiang Yao immediately went forward and took the cart from his mother Yuan Xiuhua.

Originally, he was going to let his mother sit directly on the cart, but after seeing that there were still a lot of food left on the cart, he finally didn't say it.

"Well, business is indeed average today. Even Ben hasn't come back yet."

"There's still a little bit of vegetables left from the ones we bought this morning. If I go to sell them tomorrow, they won't be fresh anymore. I'll probably have to throw away half of them."

"Why is our Xiaoyao so well behaved today? He even remembers to pick up mom? Aren't you going fishing tonight?"

……

With a look of relief on her face, Yuan Xiuhua said with a smile.

"No, the weather has been bad these past few days. The river seems a little uneasy at night." "You should know Wang Dahai, who is about the same age as us and from Group 2 next door."

"He was fishing with us last night, but was found lying by the river early this morning. He is gone..."

Pulling the cart, Jiang Yao and his mother Yuan Xiuhua chatted as they walked.

There was no need for Wang Dahai to hide this matter from his mother.

After all, although their family is not in the same group as Jiang Yao's, they are neighbors. Even if Jiang Yao doesn't say it, Yuan Xiuhua will know it sooner or later.

"Ah...was that kid with you guys last night?"

Yuan Xiuhua was obviously a little shocked. After being stunned for a while, she sighed, "Something happened to the kid from Wang Qixing's house next door. I heard about it on the street."

"He died so young, what a sin!"

"If you hadn't mentioned that he went fishing with you last night, I wouldn't have known about it."

"Don't go fishing anymore, and don't go out at night during this period. You are my only child. If something happens, I won't be able to live anymore!"

……

Mother Yuan Xiuhua is always like this. After just a few words, she can launch into a long speech.

In response, Jiang Yao did not refute or say anything more.

Life was not easy, and the little money their mother earned as a vegetable vendor was just enough to keep them from starving and to barely make ends meet.

Jiang Yao really didn't want to go back to that miserable life where he often didn't even have a dollar in his pocket.

As a time traveler, and one who comes with a golden finger, he is absolutely unwilling to stay at the bottom of society and live an ordinary life.

"Mom, I will become rich. From now on, I will never let you work so hard or worry about money again..."

Jiang Yao pulled the cart without saying a word, but secretly swore in his heart.

After returning home and having dinner, Jiang Yao chatted with his mother for a while and then returned to his room early.

At noon on the third day, Bingzai came to Jiang Yao's place.

He said that accompanied by his mother, he had visited Carpenter Xu in Mawan Village.

Carpenter Xu spent thirty-three yuan, and did nothing but fiddle with a few chopsticks.

Is this money worth spending? Bingzai didn't know, but after returning from Carpenter Xu, he felt much more at ease.

When they came to Jiang Yao's place, the two of them just chatted for a while.

Judging from his attitude, it would be impossible for him to go fishing with Jiang Yao at Yuanjiang River again in such a short period of time.

Jiang Yao naturally wouldn't force it.

To be honest, Wang Dahai's death had already made him feel extremely guilty.

After all, if it weren't for me, Wang Dahai would just hang out in the dance hall when he came out at night and would never go to the riverside.

After staying quietly at home for several days, until the ninth day of July, Jiang Yao finally couldn't hold back and ran to the river again.

Of course, he didn't fish at night, but went directly to the river at around ten o'clock in the morning.

Although the sun is a little bigger during the day, it is much safer than at night.

The fishing spot he chose was changed from under the Linxi Bridge to another place with nearby trees and grass that provided some shade.

After throwing out a few pieces of bran cakes as bait, he retreated directly to the shade of the trees behind.
