The death of the game character was so simple that Lin Qianan felt a little caught off guard.

Is it even a luxury to grow up?

Why don't we start the second life directly and see if we can have a good birth?

But wasting a lifetime always feels a little worthless.

Lin Qianan thought about it, and clicked to open the second world reincarnation to check the game's mechanics.

[Reincarnation Second World, open. 】

【You can choose two from the following traits to bring to the new life. 】

[Yongxiang: In the next reincarnation, you will only be a male. ]

[Small death: It's hard for you to live past the age of five. ]

[Frail and sickly: Your constitution is -1, and you are more likely to die from illness. ]

Lin Qianan fell silent.

Except for one heroic character that he can barely see, the others are all negative BUFFs.

No, he had to come back for the first time.

You can't just die just like that.

As a result, Lin Qian'an returned to the original starting point.

When the game character is three years old.

Lin Qian'an knew very well that at the age of four, the game character would have a disaster year, and then his father, Gao Ming, would offend the steward and lose his job at the wharf.

These things must be handled carefully.

But the characters of the game can't speak, and they are not allowed to go out. This start is really difficult.

After staying at the door for a while, Lin Qianan tried to manipulate the game character to sneak out, but because the fence was too high and the sound of moving things to open the fence was too loud, Wang Cui discovered it, and was immediately taken back and beaten along the way. meal.

Stealing didn't work, and Lin Qianan began to be in a daze again.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a child with a small bamboo basket passing by not far from the fence.

He hurriedly archived and said hello.

[Gao Zhang: Hey, child, stop! ! 】

The child heard the sound, turned his head and glanced at the game character.

[Gao Shi: You are the child, I have a name, my name is Gao Shi. 】

[Gao Zhang: Gao Shi, right, where are you going? 】

Gao Shi tilted his head.

[Gao Shi: Why should I tell you a little brat? 】

Lin Qianan made up a lie by typing directly.

[Gao Zhang: I have candy, you tell me, I will give it to you. 】

Hearing the sound, Gao Shi's eyes changed slightly.

[Gao Shi: Impossible, where did you get the sugar? 】

[Gao Zhang: My father worked hard for the main family, and the main family rewarded him. 】

Gao Shi heard the sound and immediately believed it.

After all, the child didn't have so much thought. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked.

[Gao Shi: Did I tell you to give it to me? 】

[Gao Zhang: Of course, I do what I say. 】

[Gao Shi: I plan to go to Xiaohegou to catch crabs with Gao Yu and Gao Zhi. I’m done, can you give me sugar? 】

After speaking, Takaishi looked at the game character with anticipation.

[Gao Zhang: Of course! 】

As he spoke, Lin Qianan directly read the file.

Back in time.

[Gao Zhang: Tell me what you guys usually play, and I'll give you the candy.]

By constantly reading files, Lin Qian'an gradually gained more information.

I understand how many children there are in the village, how old they are, how they play in the village, etc.

There are not many children in Gaojia Village who can go out to play, only eight or nine, the youngest is seven years old and the oldest is fourteen years old.

The usual entertainment activities are catching shrimps and fishing, climbing trees to steal fruits, and sometimes helping adults do some farm work.

In addition, they are not literate, and there is no private school in the village.

There is no one who learns a craft, and those who can learn a craft have a way.

These villagers have no such access.

After knowing this information, Lin Qianan wanted to fool Gao Shi with the game characters to go out to play.

[Gao Zhang: How many crabs do you usually catch? 】

[Gao Shi: When there are many, there are a dozen or so, and when it is low, I can't catch two a day. 】

[Gao Zhang: I know how to catch crabs, and I can guarantee to catch a big basket. 】

Gao Shi looked suspicious.

[Gao Shi: How did you know? 】

[Gao Zhang: My father taught me this, but unfortunately I can't go out. If you take me to catch crabs, you will definitely catch a lot of crabs today, and you won't be able to eat them all. 】

Hearing this, Gao Shi was clearly moved.

[Gao Shi: You didn't lie to me? 】

[Gao Zhang: I never lie, but the fence is too high for me to open. 】

After hesitating for a while, Gao Shi glanced left and right, and then asked in a low voice.

[Gao Shi: I will take you there quietly, and come back when I catch a crab, okay? It's time to divide you two! 】

[Gao Zhang: Two are too few, I want five. 】

Gao Shi counted with his fingers, then nodded in response.

[Takaishi: No problem! As long as you really catch a big basket, I will definitely give you five. 】

As he spoke, he also reached out to open the gate of the fence and quietly led the game character out.

The game character was thin and short, and Takaishi took him away after trotting for two steps.

Walking on the country road, while talking with the game character, Gao Shi led him quickly towards the small river ditch near the village.

Soon, Gao Shi had come to the vicinity of Xiaohegou.

Not far away, two children of his age were waving at him.

These two children are a boy and a girl. The boy is about eight or nine years old, and the girl is a little older. She has a ponytail and looks like she is ten years old.

Of course, they're not as young as they seem, all because of their malnutrition.

Lin Qianan had already asked, including Gao Shi, all three of them were already eleven years old.

Soon, Takaishi came to the two children with the game character.

The girl with the ponytail asked.

[Gao Yu: Stone, why did you bring a little kid? is that your brother? What if he starts crying later? 】

Takaishi explained.

[Gao Shi: He is not my brother, but Aunt Wang's son. He told me that he knew how to catch crabs, so that we could catch a bamboo basket full of them. 】

The thin little boy next to him was full of disbelief.

[Gao Zhi: He must have lied to you, he just wants to come out and play, take him back quickly, if Aunt Wang finds out that her son is missing later, she must be anxious, and you will have to be beaten when you go back. 】

Hearing the sound, Gao Shi seemed a little moved.

Seeing this, Lin Qianan hurriedly typed and spoke.

[Gao Zhang: Cough~! The three are much older than me. I know that as the saying goes, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. If you don’t try, you will slander me and lie. How can this reason make sense? 】

The three children glanced at the game characters. Although their voices were milky, for some reason, they always felt that the game characters' words were quite convincing.

[Gao Zhi: Then how do you say you want to test it? 】

[Gao Zhang: I will take you to catch crabs, I know where they are, and I guarantee that they will be accurate. 】

Hearing the sound, Gao Yu looked suspicious.

[Gao Yu: Really or not? 】

[Gao Zhang: Try it and you will know. 】

Immediately, Lin Qianan manipulated the game character to walk to the river, and pointed at a stone, saying that there were crabs under it.

Gao Shi heard the sound, rolled up his trousers and went down the river ditch, then moved the stone away.

There is nothing down there, where did the crabs come from?

He was about to get angry, but Lin Qianan had already read the file.

Three times in a row, Lin Qianan manipulated the game character to point at a stone.

[Gao Zhang: There must be crabs under this rock. 】

Gao Shi went down the river, removed the stone, and a crab about the size of a chicken quickly crawled out.

The two children next to him saw this, and their expressions became extremely surprised.

[Gao Zhi: Is it true? 】

[Gao Yu: Are you blind? 】

Lin Qianan did not explain, but manipulated the game character to point to the past.

[Gao Zhang: There are also crabs under this stone. 】

After reading the file for a long time, there were a lot of crabs in Takaishi's small bamboo basket.

Wherever Lin Qianan manipulated the game character to point, there is a crab.

Of course, this is only superficial.

In fact, he has turned over the stones in the entire river ditch.

Lin Qian'an shook his head slightly. It was the first time he used the archive function to do this kind of thing. It was overkill!

However, after this incident, the three children were barely able to gain some trust in the game characters.

At this moment, Lin Qianan stopped.

Gao Shi looked a little puzzled.

[Gao Shi: Gao Zhang, you continue to point, the big deal is that I will go back and divide you a few more crabs. 】

[Gao Zhang: It’s not that I don’t want to tell you more crabs, but the crabs in one place are limited. You have already caught all the crabs here. If you want to catch them, you have to change the place. 】

Hearing the sound, Gao Shi frowned.

[Gao Shi: Only this section of the river ditch in the village belongs to us, and the others are occupied by Gao Lin. 】

Gao Lin is the king of children in the village. At the age of fourteen, he is already an eldest child who can help his family hold up half the sky.

The rules among the children in the village are divided by him.

Including the river ditch for catching crabs, the location for fishing, and the location for cutting ragweed are all agreed upon.

Lin Qian'an had obtained this information from Gao Shi through reading files.

[Gao Zhang: Wouldn’t it be fine if the crabs caught were divided into 50 or 50 percent? 】

[Gao Shi: Is this still possible? 】

Immediately, Gao Shi brought the crabs in the bamboo basket to another section of the river ditch.

There are also four children playing in the water and catching crabs and fishing.

Seeing the arrival of Takaishi and the others, these children seemed very vigilant.

[Gao Nan: Gao Shi, what are you doing here? This is our territory. 】

Gao Shi showed a bamboo basket of crabs.

[Gao Shi: See, this is our harvest today. 】

The children glanced at it with admiration.

[Gao Nan: So what? What does it have to do with us? 】

[Takaishi: I can teach you how to catch crabs and make sure you catch a lot of crabs too, but we have to divide them in half. 】

Hearing this, the children were also moved.

They negotiated with each other, and it seemed like a good deal.

After all, they can't catch a few a day, and Gao Shi is just a bamboo basket here, even if half of it is given to them, it is definitely not a small number.

Soon they made a decision.

[Gao Nan: Good, but you have to make sure that you have to catch so many crabs. 】

[Tao Shi: Anyway, it must be more than what you usually catch. 】

[Gao Nan: Tell us now, what is the way to catch so many crabs? 】

Hearing the sound, Takaishi pushed the game character out.

[Gao Shi: It's him. 】

Gao Nan's expression was strange.

[Gao Nan: Him? A little brat? 】

Gao Shi smiled.

[Gao Shi: Gao Zhang, show them. 】

Lin Qianan manipulated the game character with a finger.

[Gao Zhang: There are crabs down there! ! 】

After showing a little bit, Lin Qianan successfully gained the trust of Gao Nan and the others.

After catching the crabs, time did not pass, so the children went to the vicinity to start picking wild fruits.

Lin Qianan manipulated the game character and also ate a little of the fruit.

He didn't know how it tasted, but Lin Qianan could see the properties of the fruit.

[Chestnuts: Eating it can restore a little stamina. ]

It's just a simple sentence, but it's enough.

This made Lin Qianan understand that the game characters still maintained some of the game characteristics they should have.

Although the game character is young, under the manipulation of Lin Qian'an, he can always say some very suggestive words. In addition, he has shown almost predictable ability through reading files. Soon Lin Qianan let the game character play in these There is trust and a certain status among children.

The corners of Lin Qian'an's mouth twitched. This was a good start. As long as he had the help of these children, it would be much easier for him to do things.

Just then, there was a loud noise not far away.

I saw Wang Cui and a few villagers hurried towards the place where the game characters were.

Lin Qian'an knew that the incident of sneaking out this time was about to come to an end.

Several of the villagers were apparently the parents of these children, and they were trained to live there as soon as they arrived.

Takaishi's ear was grabbed by a woman, and his expression became ugly.

[Gao Shi: Mother, what are you doing! 】

The woman stared at Gao Shi angrily, and a cane slapped him hard.

[Xu Rui: What are you doing? You quietly brought out your Aunt Wang's son and asked me why? 】

On the other hand, Wang Cui had already embraced the game character, and the exit prevented Xu Rui from continuing to beat the child.

[Wang Cui: Sister Xu, stop beating, the child is still young and ignorant, just go back and talk about it, don’t break it. 】

Xu Rui quickly stopped when she heard the words.

She obviously didn't want to hit her son very much, but if she didn't act a little more stern, it would be hard to get rid of Wang Cui's anger.

[Xu Rui: This child has been naughty since he was a child. When I go back, I will make his father beat him hard. 】

Gao Shi shivered, unable to speak at all.

Seeing that it was time, Lin Qianan manipulated the game character to speak.

[Gao Zhang: Mother, I asked Brother Stone to take me out to play, and he also invited me to eat chestnuts! 】

Hearing the sound, Wang Cui was stunned, obviously not expecting this to happen.

[Gao Zhang: Mother, can I still play with Brother Stone in the future? 】

[Wang Cui: Zhang Er, dear, you are still young, it is too dangerous outside, when you grow up, I will let you and your brother Shitou come out to play. 】

[Gao Zhang: Brother Stone has always protected me, it's alright. 】

Hearing the sound, Wang Cui's eyes softened a lot when she looked at Gao Shi.

Xu Rui also patted Gao Shi.

[Xu Rui: If you know how serious you are, go back and teach you a good lesson. 】

After some exchanges, Wang Cui will bring the game character back.

At this moment, Gao Shi suddenly made a sound.

[Takaishi: Crab, crab! ! 】

As he spoke, he hurriedly brought a series of crabs to Wang Cui's side and handed them to her.

Wang Cui was a little puzzled.

[Wang Cui: Stone, is this what your mother meant? 】

Gao Shi shook his head.

[Gao Shi: I agreed with Brother Zhang, as long as Brother Zhang helps me catch crabs, I will give him some. These are my share, and these two are only shared by Gao Nan. 】

Wang Cui looked back and forth on the faces of the game character and Gao Shi with a suspicious expression.

[Wang Cui: Zhang Er is so young, can you catch crabs for you? 】

Hearing the sound, Gao Shi was obviously taken aback.

Obviously I don't understand how to explain it, after all, the excuse that Lin Qian'an made at first was the technique taught by his father.

Lin Qianan was afraid that Gao Shi would talk nonsense, so he hurriedly typed and replied.

[Gao Zhang: Mother, my eyes are very good, I can see where those crabs are. 】

Hearing the sound, Wang Cui really believed it.

[Wang Cui: I didn’t expect my son to have such an endowment, it’s really a virtue of his ancestors. 】

As she spoke, she also picked up the crab, and then planned to leave.

Seeing that Wang Cui was leaving, Gao Shi asked.

[Gao Shi: Aunt Wang, can I bring Brother Zhang out to play in the future? 】

Hearing the sound, before Wang Cui could answer, Xu Rui next to him grabbed Gao Shi's ear again.

[Xu Rui: Do you remember to eat or not to fight? ! 】

[Gao Shi: Ouch, it hurts ~ Mother, let go! 】

Wang Cui paused, then smiled.

[Wang Cui: Sister Xu, don't pull Gao Shi's ears, don't look back and pull it. 】

[Xu Rui: Humph, this unintelligible ear is still ripped off, so as not to cause trouble for me in the future! 】

Even so, Xu Rui let go of her hand and gently rubbed Gao Shi without leaving a trace.

Wang Cui looked at Gao Shi and asked softly.

[Wang Cui: Stone, you can take Zhang’er out to play, but you have to make sure he doesn’t get hurt, understand? 】

Seeing this, Gao Shi quickly patted his chest.

[Takaishi: I understand, I understand! Aunt Wang, don't worry, as long as I am here, I promise not to let Brother Zhang suffer any harm, and even mosquitoes won't be able to bite him! 】

Hearing this, Wang Cui nodded with a smile.

[Wang Cui: Well, then I can rest assured. 】

After saying this, Wang Cui just left with the game character.

Lin Qianan breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately it was Wang Cui who let go, otherwise it would be troublesome in the future.

Fast forward time, and soon half a month passed.

In the past half-month, Takaishi has taken the game characters out to play almost every day.

At first, Wang Cui came out from time to time to see if Gao Shi had brought the characters to do some dangerous activities, but gradually he felt relieved.

Because Lin Qian'an never manipulated game characters to climb trees and dive into the water, he always just watched from the side.

Moreover, Gao Shi also took good care of him, and the other children had to get through this level of mischief.

As a result, Wang Cui quickly released the restrictions on game characters.

On the other hand, Lin Qian'an has also accumulated enough prestige among these children. Whether fishing or catching shrimp, wherever he points, there must be goods.

This also makes the daily life of game characters a little easier.

Moreover, Lin Qianan also let these children steal some salt and try to make fine salt.

Limited by the conditions, the filtering is not very good, but the color is also much purer.

At least those obvious impurities are no longer visible.

This is already available for sale.

However, Lin Qianan found out that it was nearly ten miles away from the city, so he put down the idea.

And most importantly, he couldn't find a partner for the time being.

As simple and honest as the game character's father, mastering this wonderful method of making money, it is estimated that he will be eaten by the belt and bones.

Time passed, and soon the months passed, and the weather was getting cooler, and it was unreasonably cold.

Heavy snow fell from the sky, streams froze, and a thick layer of ice grew in the river. The cargo handling at Wangming Port also came to a standstill, and the price of charcoal began to skyrocket.

Lin Qian'an recalled what he had seen in the disaster year before, and had some guesses in his heart.

Sure enough, the cold days lasted for several months, and it didn't get better in spring, and when it was time for the villagers to sow, the cold didn't subside.

Then came disaster.

The villagers starved to death and were frozen to death.

Some were unwilling and wanted to escape with their family, but to no avail.

This disaster affected almost half of the girders.

The characters in the game are barely able to get a little food from their work because their father works at the Sun's family in the port, but other families are not so good.

Gao Shi was sold to the city by his father, but starved to death himself.

The fate of other children is also very miserable, and there are no two good ones.

Lin Qianan began to think about how to change this situation.

The ability of the game characters is limited, the age is too young, and it is too small to face natural disasters.

In the small wooden house, by the simple bonfire, Wang Cui was chatting with Gao Ming while holding the game character.

[Wang Cui: When my sister came to borrow food from us before, she said that someone in Wangjia Village burned coal for heating and was killed by black smoke, alas! 】

[Gao Ming: No way, in this horrible weather, if we don’t burn coal, our food will freeze to death. We don’t have much food. Tomorrow I will ask the host for credit. I hope this time can be passed smoothly, otherwise]

Lin Qian'an, who was thinking about the problem, accurately captured what Wang Cui said about someone burning coal and died.

There is some information in this sentence.

First, there seems to be a coal mine nearby?

Second, people in this world do not have the technology to make anthracite.

Third, the way they burn coal for heating doesn't seem to be scientific.

Immediately, Lin Qianan asked Wang Cui about these three questions.

And Wang Cui also answered.

Coal mines do exist, and they are still semi-open-air. There are two coal mountains with huge output. It is near Wangjia Village. However, because people have been poisoned by burning coal, they are superstitious that coal is poisonous, and no one dares to burn coal.

Anthracite is naturally even less known.

In addition, they do not understand the factors that need to be ventilated when burning coal for heating, and many of them should be poisoned by carbon monoxide.

After understanding these three problems, Lin Qianan knew how to solve the problem of this cold winter.

Since no one wants coal, he will find a way to get it, then make anthracite and sell it cheaply to the villagers to make some money, and tell other villagers about the scientific heating method to reduce the death rate.

The only question is, who owns that coal mine?

What if you want to cooperate?

Lin Qianan asked Gao Ming about this question, and then he got the answer.

That is also the Sun family's property.

The Sun family is a big family in Fengshui City. It has been accumulated for thousands of years. Even if it is only a local gentry, its family wealth is unimaginable.

After thinking about it, Lin Qianan decided to read the file back to the time when the cold winter just appeared, and manipulated the game characters to follow Gao Ming to see the Sun family steward.

With the technology of anthracite in hand, when the price of charcoal rises, he said that he could not take this opportunity to cooperate with the Sun family.

With the power of the Sun family, things can definitely be done better.

Click to read the file, and the time goes back to the beginning of October.

Lin Qianan manipulated the game characters to find a way to obtain coal from the Wangjiacun coal yard, and asked those children to help burn charcoal into anthracite.

While his father, Gao Ming, went to work in Fengshui City, Lin Qianan asked the game character to bring a sample of anthracite, and was going to meet the steward with him.

The sky was bright, and some residents of the village who had picked mountain goods drove the ox cart to sell in the city. Gao Ming also packed up and prepared to take the ox cart and go to the city to work.

And just before he was about to go out, Lin Qianan manipulated the game character to grab his trouser legs.

[Gao Zhang: Dad, are you going to work in the city? Can you take me to see the city? 】
