Chapter 4: Half a Pie, Master the Knife Skills!
In the silent night, Lin Zhongyun paced slowly in the darkness.

After a while, he finally found the familiar door, and immediately pushed it open and walked in slowly.

"Second brother, second brother!"

Lin Zhongyun spoke softly towards the room.

Then, a slightly shocked male voice sounded: "Brother?"

"It's me." Lin Zhongyun quickly agreed, closed the door, fumbled in the dark, finally found a chair, and sat down directly: "Second brother, come here quickly."

Oil lamps were a rare commodity these days, and not something that people like Li Zhongwu and his predecessor could afford.

Especially since there was no moonlight entering the room, the two of them could only grope in the dark.

Fortunately, they were already very familiar with this house.

Li Zhongwu immediately climbed up from the bed and slowly walked towards Lin Zhongyun.

"Brother, where have you been these two days?"

He had just returned from cutting hay outside and had no idea what had happened to his previous life, and no one in the mansion had told him.

As Li Zhongwu spoke, he sat down on the chair according to his memory. However, he noticed something was wrong as soon as he sat down.

"Get out! You're going to crush me to death!"

Lin Zhongyun quickly pushed Li Zhongwu away and said helplessly, "Bury my father in the next two days."

"Uncle Lin is gone?"

Li Zhongwu was stunned for a moment, but was not overly surprised, although he had a good relationship with his predecessor and knew the physical condition of his predecessor's father.

And for them, death is just the norm.

"Yeah." Lin Zhongyun nodded.

"Didn't Mr. Wang help you?" Li Zhongwu had been groping for a chair, but when he couldn't find one, he sat directly on the table and asked in a low voice.

"Help?" Lin Zhongyun sneered and gritted his teeth, "Don't even mention helping me. Not only did he take away all the cakes my father left for me, he also kicked me out!"

Hearing this, Li Zhongwu suddenly fell silent.

They all knew the character of the rich man Wang, and he was capable of doing such a thing.

Li Zhongwu didn't say much, but immediately stood up and walked towards the bed again.

Not long after, Lin Zhongyun suddenly felt something stuffed into his arms.

Lin Zhongyun reached out and touched it, and immediately knew what it was.

This is the big pancake eaten by the servants in the palace.

This kind of cake has an extremely hard texture and tastes extremely bad. Even Lin Zhongyun doesn't know what it is made of. He only knows that it is difficult to poop out after eating it, but it is indeed very filling.

"This is what I left over from this trip. Come and eat it, big brother."

Li Zhongwu's voice sounded again.

"Ugh."

He sighed deeply and said, "Don't worry, big brother. We are brothers and we will live and die together!"

"It's getting harder and harder for me now. Before, I could save a few pancakes when I went to cut fodder, but now I can only save one at most, and I have to eat sparingly."

Lin Zhongyun knew what he meant. He meant that fodder was becoming increasingly difficult to find. After all, fodder was not only eaten by livestock, but also by refugees.

"The cow that Mr. Wang gave me is getting thinner and thinner."

"I just came back yesterday, and I will be out again the day after tomorrow at the latest. Brother, at worst you can go with me, and we two brothers can still take care of each other."

For these cowherds, everyone has his own livestock to take care of, and as long as there is a problem with the livestock, their good days will be over.

Li Zhongwu naturally did not dare to delay.

Lin Zhongyun held the pancake and said nothing more. At this time, the cold voice of the system sounded in his ears again.

[Detected that the host completed a suggestion. 】

[Ding! Reminder to the host, this task is a rating task, do you want to complete it immediately? ]

After hearing this prompt, Lin Zhongyun hesitated for a moment, but immediately chose to complete it in his heart.

There is no way, his current situation is too difficult.

There is no way it can be dragged on.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a bronze treasure chest. ]

【Opened successfully. 】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Knife Mastery]

[Knife Skills Mastery Effect: Improves the host's knife skills (limited to: kitchen knife)]

"."

Looking at the virtual panel in front of him, Lin Zhongyun was stunned for a moment!
Shit, is the skill of this primary treasure chest really related to food?

Not to mention food, I don’t even have a kitchen knife now. What’s the use of this skill?

Lin Zhongyun complained in his heart, but before he could think about it, he quickly answered Li Zhongwu's words and said, "Second brother, this is not a solution."

"That's true. If the drought continues like this, I will die sooner or later."

Li Zhongwu nodded slightly and said, "My father risked his life to keep me alive. Our Li family cannot be cut off by me."

As soon as the words fell, the whole room fell silent.

After a while, Li Zhongwu continued, "Oh, don't think too much about it. Big brother, you just stay here for the next few days. Those guys outside are cannibals. Anyway, no one cares about the North Courtyard."

Hearing this, Lin Zhongyun did not hesitate and nodded slightly: "Okay!"

Soon, they both returned to their beds.

Lin Zhongyun has been looking at the suggestions from the system, but the new suggestions are almost all unreliable!

For example, some suggestions would make you work as a postman and wait to be laid off, while others would make you the king of a mountain. None of them can be done directly now.

After taking a closer look, Lin Zhongyun saw the upload page pop up again, and then he uploaded the video directly! .
Jinling University dormitory.

"Hey, it's updated so quickly?"

Shangguan Kangle was slightly stunned when he saw the notification that popped up on his phone.

He immediately clicked on the video and frowned when he saw the boy talking to Lin Zhongyun in the video.

"Who is this person?"

Confused, he clicked on the homepage and saw a photo with text uploaded.

"Li Zhongwu: A cowherd in the family of the wealthy Wang. He is about the same age as Lin Zhongyun and is his sworn brother. The two have a very good relationship. Due to the increasingly severe drought, Li Zhongwu has strength but a worrying future."

After reading the introduction carefully, Shangguan Kangle immediately clicked on the video again.

The video was posted with the following content: "There is nothing to eat nearby. Mr. Wang has dozens of guards at home. I can only ask old acquaintances for some food. What should I do next?"

Watch Lin Zhongyun eating the cake in the video.

An inexplicable feeling of excitement suddenly rose in his heart!
In the last video, he seemed to be the only one who commented on looking for food!
"I was selected?" Shangguan Kangle was overjoyed, but he couldn't help but frowned when he saw the content of the video.

"This kind of cake is totally not enough. If we continue like this, we will die."

Shangguan Kangle said a few words secretly, and then suddenly thought of Li Zhongwu's character introduction.

Someone from Mr. Wang’s house?
Cowherd?
Puzzled, Shangguan Kangle glanced at the "Complete History of Ming Dynasty" on the table, and then his eyes suddenly lit up!
If not now, when?
He quickly typed another comment, and then directly shared this blogger's post to his school group.

"This blogger is quite interesting. He shoots content based on comments and it looks very authentic!"
