On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 25: The novice mission is completed, and part of the original book's plot is unlocked!
On the way back, Li Shiyue gave Shitou some instructions, and her words were simple: "Brother, don't tell us what we just saw unless our mother and the others ask.

If they ask, let them ask me."

Although Shitou didn't understand why Li Shiyue was telling him this, he still nodded obediently and agreed to Li Shiyue's words.

When the two men returned to Li's donkey cart, no one came to ask them what they encountered on the way to collect firewood. Only Li's mother asked them if they were thirsty.

"The boiled water is in the kettle, so don't drink the water in the bucket."

It was completely dark. In order to save fuel, only a few families in the Lijia Village camp lit torches, and Li Shiyue's family didn't light anything at all.

Li Shiyue, who was still sleeping on the straw mat leaning against his mother, felt a tingling pain in the soles of his feet as soon as he lay down.

Li Shiyue had to look forward to getting some useful goodies from this mission three. It would be best if there was some kind of Da Huan Dan, or some kind of panacea that could make him extremely powerful and allow him to defeat ten people at once.

However, Li Shiyue no longer had any expectations for this rubbish system. After all, what good things could a system called "The Cultivation of a Generation of Favorite Concubines" give to the host?

The prizes drawn in the previous two missions were named Beauty Pills and Fertility Pills. It was really hard for Li Shiyue to imagine what the reward for Mission Three would be.

"It's not bad to get some beauty pills as a guarantee. I can take them as fasting pills. I may have to rely on them in the future."

Li Shiyue closed her eyes and opened the system's virtual screen in her mind. She looked at the two red dots on the system interface with some surprise.

One is naturally the red dot that can be drawn after completing Task 3, and the other is an item that has never appeared before - the plot!

The plot bar next to the task bar!
Li Shiyue quickly clicked on the plot column, and saw the first line read - The host successfully completed the novice mission. In order for the host to be able to complete the mission better in the future, part of the original book's plot was unlocked for the host.

I hope that after understanding the plot, the host will better complete the tasks assigned by the system and become a favorite concubine as soon as possible!
Li Shiyue curled her lips in her heart, and she was very contemptuous of the words "a favorite concubine of a generation"!
“It’s really funny, beloved concubine, beloved concubine, listen to this, beloved concubine.

The purpose of this is to be a subordinate to men. Who wants to be a subordinate?

Even if you can't be the superior, at least you have to be an equal!"

Li Shiyue, who felt like a grassland again in his heart, angrily clicked on the flashing word "plot". However, just a few hundred words gave Li Shiyue a certain understanding of the plot of the original book.
-
In the 15th year of Yuanhe in the Dalong reign, Emperor Xianzong Liu Chun was fond of seeking immortality in his later years. He liked to take elixirs in order to achieve longevity. He had an irritable temper and often beat palace maids and eunuchs. He was later assassinated in the Zhonghe Hall by the eunuchs Chen Hongzhi and Wang Shoucheng.

After Emperor Xianzong died, his son Liu Heng ascended the throne. The court officials were dissatisfied. At that time, there was a severe drought in the country, and refugees from various states and prefectures gradually rose up.

At the same time, the military governors of Lulong and Chengde rebelled. In order to suppress the rebellion, Kyoto recruited adult men to serve in the military.

In Lijia Village, a lottery was held, and dozens of strong men from the village were captured by soldiers with swords and taken away for military service, and their lives or deaths were unknown. Among them were Li Shiyue's uncle Li Wangzheng and Li Chunli's father Li Wangtian.

Li Shiyue's family was lucky enough that they didn't win the lottery, so they all stayed.

Amid natural disasters and man-made calamities, Li Shiyang, who was studying at the provincial school in the city, foresaw in advance that the Dalong Dynasty was about to collapse. After returning to the village, he called on the villagers to flee north together, saying that King Zhenbei Liu Chong was the leader of the revival, and persuaded everyone to pack up their belongings and flee with their families.

The people of Lijia Village encountered a group of refugees led by Dazhuzi on their way to escape famine. More than half of the villagers were killed or injured that night. Grandmother Li was pushed out by Father Li to block the knife and died. Qin Tao miscarried the unborn baby in her belly while trying to save Li Chunli. In the original book, Li Shiyue was hacked to death by the refugees while trying to save Shitou.

After going through untold hardships, they finally arrived at Andong Protectorate, the territory of the King of Zhenbei. The remaining twenty or so people in Lijia Village were resettled in Liujiatun. The heroine of the original book, Li Chunli, who went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, accidentally found the hero of the original book who had fainted on the hillside and was shot by an arrow.
Seeing this, Li Shiyue tried to look through the pages again, but there was not a single word.

"It seems that the three missions I have completed so far are only enough to read a small part of this, and most of them are things we have already experienced. I guess I need to complete more missions in the future before I can continue to read the original book's plot."

Li Shiyue closed his eyes and read the original story of several hundred words in his mind over and over again, thinking: "First, my father and mother successfully divorced, and my father was separated to live with Qin Tao's family.

Grandma is not dead, and the baby in Qin Tao's belly is still there. And based on what we saw in the evening, it is possible that the baby in Qin Tao's belly is not the father's biological child.

I came through, I resisted, I didn't die, and the stone is fine.

All of the above proves that the plot of the original book can be changed!
And I am that variable!
Secondly, referring to the male protagonist of the original book as mentioned in the plot, then my system should require the host, that is, me, to be the male protagonist's concubine, right?

So, if I want to stop being a concubine, I have to kill the male protagonist first?
Oh, no, no, forget it, I'd better wait until I can get to Andong Protectorate first."

As Li Shiyue was thinking this, an electronic voice sounded in her mind again: "A long-term mission has been discovered. Please accompany the heroine Li Chunli and the supporting actress Qin Tao to the Andong Protectorate. If you complete the mission, you can be upgraded to the second level. The host can exchange skills so that you can better become a favorite concubine of the first generation!"

Li Shiyue's face darkened in his heart: "Good fellow, I say you are really a good fellow!
Does this mean that my ultimate mission as the system host is to become the hero's favorite concubine?
Just have to be bound to the heroine and the supporting actress!

Can't I be beautiful without them?"

The system did not respond to Li Shiyue's words. Even though Li Shiyue cursed it as "rubbish system" several times, he still did not get any reply from the system.

Li Shiyue had no choice but to accept this setting reluctantly. She accepted it, but it was naturally up to her to decide what to do.

In fact, Li Shiyue was somewhat happy in her heart, because from what the system said, if they could arrive at Andong Protectorate safely and let the plot proceed smoothly, that is, let the hero and heroine of the original book meet, then the system could be upgraded and Li Shiyue could redeem skills.

Being able to exchange skills is always a good thing.

Li Shiyue finally fell into a deep sleep while thinking about all these things. Not far from the Li family's donkey cart was the donkey cart that Li's father had given to Qin Tao's family for use.

Li Chunli, who was still blocked by a long wooden board, reached out and patted her brother Li Shigui again: "Brother? Brother? Are you asleep?"

Li Shigui closed his eyes and replied to Li Chunli: "Li Niang, what's wrong?"

Li Chunli was not happy with Li Shigui's closed eyes. She reached out to pull his eyelids. Li Shigui had no choice but to open his eyes: "Tell me, what's wrong?"

"Brother, do you think what Li Shiyue said before was sincere or false?"
