After Reincarnating into Ancient Times, She Bound a Express Delivery System

Chapter 5

"Stay away!"

Li Shuchen's tone suddenly rose sharply, with a hint of murderous intent in his cold voice.

In panic, he let go of his crutch to lift his robe, but did not fall down.

Realizing that she was still lingering around, Li Shuchen's face became as gloomy as if it was about to drip water. He gnashed his teeth and blurted out a cold word: "Scram."

Seeing his strong reaction, Qi Huan belatedly realized that this position was a bit like a toilet hole.

She blushed instantly, although she didn't see anything, she was really embarrassed to the point her toes dug into the ground.

In a daze, she went back to the yard, squatted on the ground, grabbed two handfuls of snow, pressed it against her red hot cheeks, before feeling a little better.

After calming down, she suddenly remembered what she had just seen, and stood up abruptly, just in time to bump into Li Shuchen, who had tidied up his clothes and was walking out with his crutch.

Her eyes fell on his crutch, and her slender eyebrows knitted slightly together.

Just now, Li Shuchen seemed to have let go of his crutch...

At this moment, she heard a prompt from the system in her mind, "Do good deeds +1, 100 points added."

The sudden bonus broke her speculation: "Li Shuchen is not a fake cripple?"

"Yes and no. His physical injuries are no longer a problem, but he has a psychological barrier. However, the host was too aggressive just now, which helped him overcome the barrier..."

Qi Huan was surprised and opened her mouth wide.

She had unexpectedly helped him get better by accident...

Seeing her standing in the wind and snow like a silly goose, Li Shuchen looked up at the fluttering snowflakes and said lightly, "The snow is getting heavier, you should go back."

"Okay!"

Qi Huan happily agreed, planning to go back home first to relieve the emotional ups and downs of today, and come back tomorrow to find ways to help.

She had just taken a step out with her left foot, when she heard Li Shuchen say again, "Don't come back from now on."

Oh, she made a mistake. She should have stepped out with her right foot first.

Qi Huan's mood instantly fell to the bottom of the valley. "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I can help you grind ink, I can cook, ...I can do a lot of things."

"No need."

His tone was colder than the wind and snow outside, freezing Qi Huan's heart to the core.

Seeing her standing in the wind and snow like a dumb goose, Li Shuchen looked up at the fluttering snowflakes again and said lightly, "The snow is getting heavier, you should go home."

"Okay!"

Qi Huan happily agreed again, preparing to go home first to relieve the emotional ups and downs of today, and come back tomorrow to find ways to help.

She had just taken a step out with her left foot, when she heard Li Shuchen say again, "Don't come back from now on."

Oh, she made a mistake again. She should have stepped out with her right foot first.

Qi Huan's mood instantly fell to the bottom of the valley again. "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it. I can help you grind ink, I can cook, ...I can do a lot of things."

"No need."

His tone was colder than the wind and snow outside, freezing Qi Huan's heart all over again.

Just like that, she left with 400 points in her pocket, feeling unwilling yet helpless as she was kicked out the door.

On her way home, she kept her head low, kicking the snow on the ground, walking slowly.

Suddenly, boom - her thatched cottage collapsed, buried under the accumulated snow. Fortunately she was walking slowly and hadn't gotten inside yet.

Qi Huan immediately ran over to try and salvage her quilt, towels and other belongings from the rubble.

However, after scrabbling in the heavy snow for a long time, her fingers turned bright red from the cold, but she could only pull out a few old thatch straws from the roof.

"This is really f*cking unlucky - misfortune knocks on the door of misfortune!"

She squatted dejectedly on the ground, gazing at the hazy sky in the distance, complaining for a while before shivering from the cold.

"System, do you think I can exchange a tent with these 400 points?"

"The system does not dare to guarantee it."

After a moment of silence, the system said again, "The system kindly reminds the host that even if you get a tent, it is still very likely that you will die from hypothermia in such terrible weather."

In order to survive, Qi Huan had no choice but to shamelessly go back to ask Li Shuchen for help.

When she got close, she saw that Li Shuchen was on the roof, holding a broken broom and sweeping snow down.

He had indeed overcome his demons and stood up again.

The speed was astonishing, simply a medical miracle.

As expected of the chosen one.

Snowflakes drifted down from the roof, falling into the yard, making the snow on the ground even thicker.

Qi Huan walked into the yard, rubbed her hands, and started helping sweep away the snow.

"Do good deeds +1, 100 points added."

She said to the system in her mind, "Although I already have 500 points, I still feel bad about my quilt. Omnipotent System, can the things I take out in the future be kept in your space?"

"The system has storage space, but the host will need to pay points to use it."

"The host can purchase a delivery truck-sized storage space from your previous life for 1,000 points. The system has checked that the host currently does not have enough points and cannot make the purchase."

"That's great!" Qi Huan's eyes lit up with joy, morale surging, "After I help Li Shuchen do a few more things, I'll be able to exchange for space."

"Host, go for it."

"Wish the host every success."

Time flew by while she was chatting with the system, and unknowingly, the snow in the yard had been completely cleared away by her, and Li Shuchen had also jumped down from the roof.

"Li Shuchen, you are truly foresighted. If this snow was not cleared, I'm afraid your house would also collapse."

Hell hath no fury like a flatterer scorned, Qi Huan decided to use a sweeter tongue, although she truly admired Li Shuchen's foresight.

"Why did you come back again?"

"Because the snow collapsed my house," she answered dejectedly.

Then she tentatively asked again, "Can I stay at your place?"

Li Shuchen put down his broom, walked into the house without closing the door.

Not seeing her follow him in after a while, he stiffly walked out again, "Do you want to freeze to death in my yard?"

He was able to stand up again thanks to the help of the Qi father and daughter. Moreover, she was a decent cook, and there were many suspicious points about her, so he might as well take her in for now and keep her under observation.

Qi Huan was overjoyed and quickly followed him into the house.

But then the problem arose again, where would she sleep?

In the center hall there was an old square wooden table, surrounded by long benches on four sides.

On the east and west sides of the room, there was a wooden door on each side connecting to the bedrooms. The west bedroom had a large communal sleeping area that took up almost the entire small room, with three bedding mattresses laid out, which should be the lodgings of Xiuwen Yiwu and Yan Qinghe.

The east bedroom door was closed, and she couldn't see the layout inside.

Clearly, Li Shuchen had also thought of this problem.

"You sleep in my room."

"Then where will you sleep?" Qi Huan asked concernedly.

"I'll stay with Qinghe and the others."

As he spoke, Li Shuchen opened the door to his room, ready to move his bedding, but glanced back at the empty-handed Qi Huan, and put the bedding back down.

Qi Huan, who had been watching his actions all along, quickly understood his intention that he wanted to give her the bedding to use.

"Then what will you cover yourself with?"

Stumped by her question, Li Shuchen's face stiffened a little. Sharing a bed with Yan Qinghe and the others was already the limit of what he could endure. To further take their bedding would make him very uncomfortable.

"Don't worry about it."

"But I insist on worrying about it, heh heh."

After speaking, Qi Huan dashed out carrying a hoe, full of determination to dig out bedding. But she found that the accumulated snow and collapsed mud wall were too thick. Moreover, the mud wall was frozen solid and impossible to dig at all.

Besides, it was already dark outside and getting colder. She could only ask someone for help to dig it out another day...

Qi Huan rubbed her face that was about to freeze stiff, found a secluded spot, and temporarily bought another quilt to use tonight: "System, system, I want to buy another quilt!"

"Okay, host."

"A quilt is valued at 146 points. Repurchase fee is 14.6, rounded up to 15, totaling 161. Does the host confirm repurchase?"

"Where did you learn this set of tricks, System? You even round up numbers now, be careful or I'll report you!" Qi Huan was annoyed.

"Sorry, the system does not have decimal arithmetic capabilities, and cannot perform decimal calculations."
