Chapter 4 That night, it happened
The system was just thinking about how to start when a few low voices suddenly came from outside the woodshed window, "Chao Chao, Chao Chao, are you asleep?"

The little girl on the bed sat up, rubbed her eyes and looked towards the small window of the woodshed.

"Chaochao?"

The familiar voice sounded again. Chao Chao confirmed that he had heard correctly and quickly stood up and responded, "Sister Lin Lan, I'm not asleep."

She placed a wooden block under the window, stepped on it, and looked out. The window was small, without any paper covering, and the cold wind blew in without any shelter.

At this moment, a hand reached in from the crack in the window, holding a hard, coarse-grained steamed bun. "Chao Chao, here, my mother asked me to give it to you. When I passed by your house before, I heard them say you couldn't eat. You must be starving, take it quickly."

Chao Chao hesitated, "Did Sister Lin Lan save this for herself?"

"No, my mother just gave birth to my sister. My father went into the mountains these past two days and picked a lot of chestnuts and shot two pheasants. We are all full. This is extra, take it quickly. I can't delay any longer, I have to go back quickly to help my mother take care of my sister."

After saying that, Lin Lan stuffed the steamed bun into Chaochao's hand, without giving her a chance to refuse, and turned and left.

Chaochao didn't dare to call her loudly, so she could only get down from the wooden block with the coarse flour buns.

Looking at the cold and hard steamed bun in her hand, her stomach began to lose control and her mouth began to drool like crazy.

After a while, she finally brought the bun close to her mouth and took a cautious bite. The bun was tasteless, but to Chao Chao at that moment, it seemed like a delicacy.

She couldn't help but take two more bites, and only stopped after she had finished one-third of it, then put it away carefully.

She doesn't have to do anything today, and she won't feel hungry after sleeping for a while. The remaining food can be saved for tomorrow.

After putting the steamed buns away, Chaochao took a branch, walked to the corner, and removed the straw on top to expose the ground.

Under the moonlight outside the window, she could see many scratches on the dim ground caused by the branches. Now she exerted a little more force and added another scratch at the end.

The system looked at it curiously and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of mark did you make?"

Chao Chao replied subconsciously, "I've written down all the people in the village who have helped me. I'll repay them when I grow up. Sister Lin Lan gave me..."

Before she could finish her words, the branch in Chao Chao's hand fell to the ground with a "thump". She widened her eyes in horror and looked around quickly.

No, there was still no one, just like during the day, and this voice suddenly rang in her mind.

It was dark at night, and the sound was much more creepy than during the day.

Chao Chao trembled, "Are you, a, a ghost?"

system,【……】

The woodshed was eerily quiet. Xiao Chaochao took a deep breath and began to tremble with fear.

The system quickly spoke, "Don't be afraid, Chaochao. I'm not a bad person. No, I'm not a human. Ah, that's not right either. I, well, anyway, I'm not a ghost. I won't hurt you. On the contrary, I'll help you."

Chao Chao pursed her lips. The system spoke a long paragraph, and it seemed less scary. It really didn't look like a ghost, so she hesitated and whispered, "Then you, who are you?"

[I am a system, a charity system.] Chao Chao didn't understand, "What is a system, and what is charity?"

How to explain this...?
The system is in a big trouble, and the host is young, so she can't understand anything that is too profound.

After thinking about it, the system could only explain it in a way she could understand. [What about the system? It's just that I have the ability to speak inside your head. No one else can hear it, only you can hear it. Of course, you can't let others know. Charity is about doing good deeds. I appeared to teach you how to do good deeds.]

Chao Chao, "Oh." It turns out it wasn't an auditory hallucination, nor was it a ghost.

The system exhaled, and the next words flowed much more smoothly. "Xiao Chaochao, you are my host now. As soon as I accumulate enough energy, I will send you home. Then no one will beat you, scold you, or bully you anymore."

"Go home?" Chao Chao's face was full of hesitation. "Do I... have a home?"

She had spent two years in Shangliu Village, and much had been forgotten as the Hus went about their daily business. Not to mention her youth, her memory was limited. Now, her mind was filled with thoughts of what chores she had to do and how she would find food.

Moreover, Zheng kept telling her that she was abandoned by her parents at the foot of the mountain and no one wanted her because she was a disaster star and there was no place for her in the world. Only the Hu family was willing to take her in and saved her life. She should be grateful and serve Baodun well in the future, otherwise she would suffer retribution and be struck by lightning.

Now this so-called system said it would send her home? Could she go home? Would her parents kick her out if she went back? Where would she go then?
The system was heartbroken upon seeing this and quickly said, "Of course you have a family. Your parents... they love you dearly. But your home is very, very far away, and it would take a lot of energy for me to get you back. I'm just a little short of it right now. If you just do one more good deed, just one, I'll have enough energy."

The energy of the charity system needs to be accumulated bit by bit by the host doing good deeds.

However, in the past two years, Chao Chao has had neither the time, energy, nor the ability to do good deeds. Fortunately, her parents have never stopped doing charity work, especially after Chao Chao's disappearance. When they were at their wit's end, they could only place their hopes on metaphysics, thinking that doing more good deeds would accumulate blessings for Chao Chao, and at least these merits would keep her safe.

I have to say, the direction is really correct.

Even if the host wasn't the one doing the good deed, Chao Chao's parents did it in their daughter's name, so part of the karmic responsibility fell on Chao Chao. Furthermore, their charitable efforts were immense, and even across time and space, the system's energy slowly accumulated, though this process took two years.

Now, it's just a little bit short. As long as Chao Chao does a good deed, the energy bar will increase a lot, enough to send people back to the modern era.

Chao Chao was a little hesitant to believe it, "Are you serious? My parents didn't abandon me?"

[Of course not!] The system said firmly.

Chaochao sat on the straw, hugged her knees, rested her chin on them, and a smile slowly appeared on her face, "Well, that's good." It turned out that she was not unwanted, her parents loved her very much, knowing this was enough.

As for going home, Chao Chao didn't dare to think about it. To her, that was a very distant thing. She was happy as long as she knew she was not abandoned.

But the system still heard the desire in her tone. It sighed and said softly, "Chao Chao, you have to trust me. I'll teach you how to do it in a moment. Just bear with it for two more days at most."

Chao Chao paused, recalling what the system had said. Oh, right, it said to do good things.

"Then what should I do?" She looked at her small hands and feet and began to count the things she could do. "Now I can feed the chickens and ducks, collect firewood, wash clothes, sweep the floor, light the fire, wash dishes, wipe the table, water the vegetables, harvest the rice, massage my back, and bring water..."

[That's enough, that's enough. You don't have to do that.] The system became increasingly annoyed as it listened, and quickly interrupted, saying that doing things like washing clothes and sweeping the floor for others were certainly good things, but they were too small. After completing one task, the energy only increased by +1+1, so it would take forever.

It has to take advantage of these two days to search for something good that can directly replenish its energy. After all, if Chaochao continues to be abused, it may not be able to help but explode.

However, before the system could figure it out, it happened that night.
