I, the one in the heavens, am here to protect my bottom line in all realms.

She looked at Jiang Siyou and said, "Go ahead and walk straight to the top where you will see a cave. Inside is my secret base."

Jiang Si didn't ask any more questions and walked up the stairs obediently. Zhang Chengyuan took out a candle and lit it, then walked up the stairs and closed the entrance.

He caught up with Jiang Siyou in three or two steps, took his hand and walked side by side with him, holding a candle to light the way for both of them.

Not long after walking, a light appeared, which seemed to be the exit.

But it was not, it was the entrance to the cave, and the light came from the window she had chiseled out.

Jiang Siyou looked at the bright cave in front of him in surprise. There were tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, etc. inside, even a stove.

Zhang Chengyuan boasted with a smile: "Not bad, isn't it."

Jiang Siyou nodded in approval.

Zhang Chengyuan spoke again: "Come on, I'll take you to the bathroom."

As she spoke, she came to the cabinet beside the bed, lifted the bamboo curtain, pulled Jiang Siyou in and introduced them to him: "This big basin is for taking a bath, the one on the shelf is for washing your face, the one on the floor is for soaking your feet, and the bucket in the corner is for convenience."

Zhang Chengyuan also found him a new homemade toothbrush and cup, as well as a bathrobe and face towel.

"When you need to drain the water later, just pull out the plug. If you don't need the water, just plug it back in."

Zhang Chengyuan knocked on the big round barrel next to the bathroom window. It looked like an oversized wooden wine barrel, but here it was placed upright. She opened a hole at the bottom and inserted a bamboo tube as an extension. There was also a half-person-high shelf underneath to make it convenient to use water.

The big barrel was out of water, so she just needed to set up a ladder, open the lid of the barrel, and pour the water in from the top.

Normally, she could use a bucket of water for two days. She had just added water last night and it hadn't been used yet, so it was enough for him to use once.

"Then how do you drain the water after taking a shower?"

Jiang Si asked if he had seen the place in the tub where the water could be drained. Zhang Chengyuan pointed it out to him and said, "Here, when you are done, lift up this small board and pull out the plug. The water will flow out by itself. I have connected a bamboo tube to the outside."

Jiang Si nodded to show that he understood. Zhang Chengyuan stood up and left, while explaining: "The toothpaste is in the red bamboo tube, the green one is for shampooing, and the white one is for bathing. Don't use the wrong ones."

Before he finished speaking, she had already gone out, lit the pot, cooked him some egg noodles, and then found him a set of his own clothes.

They are about the same height now, but he is thinner than her, so he can naturally wear her clothes.

The poor people of that era had no idea of ​​distinguishing between boys' and girls' clothes for children, except of course those families who loved their children. Most of the fabrics they used to make clothes were dark in color, such as brown, dark blue, etc.

Zhang Chengyuan followed the local customs and sold a lot of such cloth. She had extra clothes made for herself, so she could now give some to Jiang Si.

She found a set of clothes that she had never worn, prepared a set for him from inside to outside, and put four more sets in the closet.

As she was closing the cupboard door, she heard Jiang Siyou's footsteps. It seemed that he was almost done cleaning up.

She looked at the pot and found that there was still a lot of water in it, so it wasn't mushy. She took a bowl and filled it with water for Jiang Siyou, then placed it on the table. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Siyou who was drying his hair and said, "Wrap your hair and eat first. I made you some egg noodles, and I'll make you meat in two days."

Jiang Si was not being polite to her anymore. He was indeed hungry. Bazi came online at some point and watched everything silently, feeling a little envious.

Zhang Chengyuan also served herself some. Although she was not hungry, she could still eat a little. After eating, Jiang Siyou continued to dry her hair while Zhang Chengyuan went to clean up the pots and bowls.

Seeing Jiang Siyou combing her hair, she reminded him, "The clothes on the bed are for you. Go change into them."

When Jiang Siyou came out after changing his clothes, Zhang Chengyuan was already sitting at the table drinking tea. When he saw him come out, he waved for him to come over and sit down. He also poured him a cup of tea before speaking: "Siyou, can I ask about the plot? And your mission?"

Jiang Si nodded to indicate yes, and slowly began to speak: "The plot is roughly about the reborn heroine who was reborn as a child before she was exiled. She used the space to collect most of the family property, and on the road of exile, which was not hard to begin with, she took her family on a hiking tour.

After arriving at the place of exile, she quickly bought land and built a house, then met the male protagonist and fell in love with him. Eventually, King Liang ascended the throne, the male protagonist and everyone was vindicated and returned to Beijing, the male and female protagonists got married, and lived a happy life after marriage. "

"Um...what about you?"

Jiang Siyou found it a little difficult to say, but he didn't want to deceive her and also wanted to give her a heads up for the future. He gritted his teeth and decided to tell her. He didn't want to be estranged from her because of this matter in the future.

"I... well, I was just a third-party licker who always licked the heroine. In the end, I watched the heroine get married and disappeared heartbroken. No one knew where he went."

As he spoke, Jiang Siyou carefully watched Zhang Chengyuan's expression. He was already thinking about giving up the mission. He kept comforting himself that it didn't matter, it was just a mission failure.

The points are enough to be deducted. Punishing the world is just a little suffering, no big deal.

Even though he was thinking this in his mind, his body had its own ideas and it was already trembling slightly.

Zhang Chengyuan knew his thoughts through the appraisal and did not intend to embarrass him: "You have to be a licking dog for the heroine, which is also difficult for you. I don't know how to do this licking dog task?"

Jiang Siyou glanced at Zhang Chengyuan while feeling guilty and said, "I just send things to the heroine from time to time, take the blame for her, protect her, etc. The main purpose is to maximize her favorability. But don't worry, I don't have to be with her for real."

Zhang Chengyuan twitched his lips and said, "You are really miserable. Don't worry. I won't get angry. I understand your difficulties."

Jiang Siyou was deeply moved when he heard this.

Zhang Chengyuan easily changed the subject: "You should remember this place. You can come here by yourself in the future. Just be careful not to expose yourself. There is food here. You can get whatever you want to eat. I may not be by your side all the time."

Jiang Siyou nodded heavily and said with emotion: "Thank you, Yuanbao."

"You're welcome, oh, by the way, Siyou, you still haven't told me what Bazai likes?"

Hearing this, Bazai immediately became alert. He kept urging Jiang Siyou in his mind, wanting Jiang Siyou to speak for him. He was now more and more eager to upgrade and have the authority to enter and exit the space freely.

Jiang Siyou was unwilling to tell the truth: "It's nothing special, you don't have to spend money."

Zhang Chengyuan took his hand and said with a doting smile: "You, well, I won't ask you anymore. But the system spirit only likes a few things, points, merits, and food, among which merits are the best.

Well, I will give it a ray of merit."

As she spoke, she directly drew a strand of merit from her own golden light of merit and sent it into his mind without a chance of rejection.

The expectant Bazai quickly collected the merits and gave a little to Jiang Siyou, saying, "Don't say I'm stingy. I'll give you a little."
