Yun Que'er opened her eyes and saw the pointer stop at the position for the third - level reward.
Yun Que'er's eyes lit up. The third - level reward had appeared too frequently in the past few days!
She quickly clasped her hands together and prayed silently in her heart: "I want sickles! Enough sickles for the whole family! And it'd better be old ones, not new ones. They should appear..."
Having made up her mind, she hoped they would appear beside their courtyard wall, and preferably early the next morning!
Yun Que'er had something on her mind and hardly dared to sleep all night.
She knew it would be difficult for a child to wake up once asleep, so she kept herself alert all night, half - asleep and half - awake. Finally, she opened her eyes as soon as it dawned the next day.
Yun Que'er sat up abruptly. Seeing the faint light in the east, her heart finally settled down.
She quickly crawled to the side and frantically shook Yun Fujin's arm.
"Big brother, big brother! Wake up quickly!"
Yun Fujin barely lifted his eyelids. It was obvious that he was still sleepy. But he had a good temper and gently stroked Yun Que'er's little hand.
"Be a good girl, Que'er. Let big brother sleep a little longer. I've been so tired these days..."
"Don't sleep anymore!" Yun Que'er crawled to Yun Fujin's ear and raised her voice slightly. "I had a dream. I dreamed that a lot of treasures fell in front of our house!"
Yun Jianzhou, who was snoring, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.
"What? What treasures!"
Yun Fujin looked at him speechlessly. He woke up quite quickly when it came to treasures.
Yun Fujin gave Yun Jianzhou a punch. "Don't have any funny ideas again. Isn't the lesson from last time enough?"
Yun Jianzhou covered his head and dodged to the side, making Yun Que'er laugh.
He mumbled, "What lesson... It's just that the dog - like village head is greedy. Que'er, quickly tell us what treasures are outside?"
"I don't know either." Yun Que'er tilted her head pretending to be in a difficult situation. "I just dreamed of an old god. He told me that he would give our family treasures. Let's go out and have a look quickly!"
Yun Fujin thought the child had just listened to too many stories last night and had a dream. How could there be an old god?
But Yun Jianzhou thought it was real. After all, those sweet potatoes last time were real. He immediately put on his shoes, picked up Yun Que'er and rushed out of the house.
Seeing Yun Jianzhou so excited, Yun Que'er felt a little uneasy.
After all, wishes couldn't always come true. What if she had used up all her good luck last time and there was nothing this time? How could she explain it?
It was only a dozen steps from the door of the house to the courtyard gate, but Yun Que'er felt it was as long as a decade. Finally, the two of them reached the gate...
Yun Fujin was completely awake because of the commotion. He got up and was slowly putting on his clothes when he suddenly heard Yun Jianzhou outside let out a yelp as if he had been stepped on the tail.
Yun Fujin was shocked. He thought, "Don't tell me there are a bunch of sweet potatoes popping up again like last time!"
They really wouldn't be able to explain it this time!
He quickly rushed out of the door and bumped into Yun Jianzhou, who was running in with Yun Que'er on his back.
"What are you doing?"
Yun Fujin almost fell over backward. He barely managed to stand still by holding on to the wall.
"Did you see a ghost early in the morning?"
"It's not a ghost..." Yun Jianzhou stared in disbelief. "B - Big brother, there really is a god in our family. There really is!"
Seeing Yun Jianzhou's serious look, Yun Fujin also became curious. He quickly went out to take a look and saw several sickles lying neatly in front of their house as if they were in a line.
But they were obviously used by others. The sickle blades were rusty. They probably wouldn't even be able to kill someone.
Yun Fujin scratched his head. "What's the use of these?"
Yun Jianzhou waved his hand. "How can they be useless? Didn't we just discuss last night that we would cut pigweed to earn work points? These sickles were sent to us early this morning. It's obvious that a god is blessing our family. It will send us whatever we think of!"
Yun Que'er was speechless. What old god? It was clearly a little god! The little god was sitting in his arms, okay?
But looking at the sickles on the ground, Yun Que'er also felt really disappointed.
Come on! She just said she wanted used sickles, not rusty ones!
In this condition, wouldn't they break after cutting a little pigweed?
Yun Fujin couldn't help laughing and crying. "Even if you're happy, you should first see what these things are. They can't be used at all."
Yun Jianzhou didn't care about these things. He was convinced that their family must be blessed by a god, and their future days would surely be smooth sailing.
Afraid that someone would snatch these broken sickles from him, he quickly took all the sickles into the yard while the neighbors were still asleep.
Then Yun Jianzhou got busy. He found a big rock, splashed some water on it, and started sharpening the sickles with a clang.
Poor Yun Motan finally got to go to work today. He got up early in the morning but didn't even have time to eat. In the end, Yun Yi packed a bag of unsold dried sweet potatoes for him.
Yun Motan passed by and saw the three siblings in a complete mess, making the yard smoky. He just shook his head and sighed.
"Alas, these kids just won't listen..."
Yun Jianzhou worked hard all morning and actually found a usable sickle among the several ones.
That sickle was the least corroded. There was only a thin layer of rust on it. After being sharpened, it was as shiny as new, but the handle was still from an old sickle.
"It definitely won't be seen as a fake when taken out." Yun Jianzhou said.
He ruffled Yun Que'er's hair hard. "You're really a lucky star. Have more dreams in the future. Then it won't be long before we get rich."
Yun Que'er pushed aside her messy hair and buried herself in Yun Fujin's arms.
"I don't want to have dreams. I want to sleep well!"
Yun Fujin chuckled, picked up Yun Que'er, and went back into the house to cook.
Yun Jianzhou looked at the sickle in his hand in amazement. Although they only got one good sickle with great difficulty, there were still two old sickles at home, which was enough.
Yun Jianzhou took the sickle into the house and gave it to Yun Yi.
"Look, thanks to our little girl, I got you a good tool. You'll work faster with this."
Yun Yi glanced at it. Although she was happy in her heart, she still acted proud.
"What's so great about a sickle? Besides, this sickle will rust after being used for a while. How can it help me?"
Yun Jianzhou curled his lips. "You just don't want to praise Que'er. It won't kill you to move your lips. Why do you always act like a fighting cock? Fortunately, our little sister doesn't care about you."
"You're still saying me!" Yun Yi jumped up and wanted to hit Yun Jianzhou. "Weren't you the most active one when we wanted to send her away? You were so afraid that she wouldn't be willing to go. You even bought her new clothes and gave her delicious food."
Yun Yi blurted out this sentence, and then both of them fell silent.
Thinking about it now, what they did at that time was really scumbag - like.
