Chapter 52 The Lovely Old Lady
Reading Settings
The two sisters will definitely have a bad reputation in the village, and many people will point fingers at them. Just thinking about that scene is unbearable.
But they didn't have the magnanimity to just stand there and endure Yunxi's disdain without doing anything.
In the end, Yun Zhaodi could only snort at Yun Xi, then pull her sister along and turn around to go up the mountain in another direction.
He silently muttered "bad luck" to himself.
No sooner had he finished cursing about bad luck than Yunxi sneezed loudly and accurately.
Yunxi subconsciously turned her gaze to the two sisters. She felt that the two sisters must be talking about her, which was why she could sense it.
Otherwise, with such nice weather and bright sunshine, and I don't have a cold, how could I possibly be sneezing?
It was definitely Yun Zhaodi and the other girl who were talking about her. She was just about to urge the vines to trip them up when they walked faster and faster and got further and further away, already past the furthest distance the vines could reach.
Unfortunately, I had to give up that idea. But since I haven't found an opportunity yet, I can come back next time. Anyway, fairies hold grudges, and she won't forget them.
Once she reached the mountain, Yunxi headed straight for a secluded spot. Her main task wasn't gathering pig feed, but rather finding remote areas to see if she could plant the sweet potato vines from her spatial storage.
In the past few days, she has roughly figured out the outer perimeter of the mountain. Some places are indeed very remote, like blind spots, yet they are so easy to spot.
In addition, planting them on the outer edge of the mountain feels safer, as there aren't as many wild animals competing with them for food.
After finding the spot, he took out tools from his spatial storage, dug a hole in the ground, and then stuck a sweet potato vine into it.
After wiping this area, water it again with the river water from the space; this will make it easier for it to grow.
Insert a little here, a little there, seemingly without any pattern, and before you know it, a large area is covered.
It took about an hour for about a third of the sweet potato vines that formed a small mountain in the space to be removed.
After watering everything thoroughly, we prepared to head down the mountain.
He took two baskets from his spatial storage, filled them with pig feed, and then carried the baskets down the mountain.
I was quite lucky when I came to the pig farm this time; I didn't run into the two Yun sisters again, and the air felt a bit fresher.
I did run into Sister Lotus, and seeing her working despite being heavily pregnant, I could tell she was exhausted.
Especially watching her walk, even if she doesn't feel tired herself, it's tiring to watch her walk.
Lotus was quite surprised to see Yunxi carrying a basket on her back and another one in her hand; it was the first time she had ever seen her like this.
Yunxi didn't offer much explanation, only saying that she had always been quite strong.
After all, the reason I explained it to Grandma Cheng last time was because the two families are relatives and close, so it didn't seem like a big deal to talk about it.
Later, after hearing about another person from Grandma Cheng, she subconsciously didn't want others to know about her strangeness, so you can't blame her for lying.
When it came time to record work points, Grandma Cheng felt helpless seeing Yunxi carrying two more baskets. She knew that no matter what she said, Yunxi wouldn't listen to her, so she didn't try to persuade her anymore.
Thinking that she's such a grown-up girl, she should know everything she needs to know, so I don't plan to say too much, because saying too much won't make her popular.
"Yunxi, are you satisfied with the shelf that your Uncle Jun and Uncle Ying sent over this morning? If you don't like it, I'll have your sixth grandfather change it."
Yunxi cooperated with her to change the subject, nodding repeatedly to show her great satisfaction.
"I never expected my sixth grandfather's craftsmanship to be so good. It's so exquisite. I was saying that this thing is not suitable for stacking things, but it is suitable for displaying some books. It would be a bit of a waste to use it for stacking things."
Hearing Yunxi praise her husband's cooking skills, Grandma Cheng seemed particularly proud and self-satisfied. "What's so good about it? It's just so-so. Only you, Yunxi, don't mind my husband's cooking. Nobody else would even give it a second glance."
Despite these self-deprecating words, the pride on his face was still obvious, revealing his hypocrisy.
Yunxi suddenly found the little old lady quite cute.
After saying goodbye to the old lady, Yunxi immediately changed direction and prepared to go up the mountain.
It was the same path I took when I went up into the deep mountains last time. With the path cleared last time, it was quite easy to walk this time.
Meanwhile, what has become of the trap deep in the mountains and forests?
More than a day has passed, and I didn't check the trap yesterday. I wonder if any prey was caught there and was eaten by other wild animals?
I have to go check it out today no matter what. If I find it, I'll keep it; if not, I won't regret it.
Today is a good day to dig up all the kudzu roots I found. There's nothing else to do at home anyway, and I can also plant all the sweet potato vines in my space.
Along the way up the mountain, whenever we came across a suitable spot, we would dig a hole and bury a sweet potato vine, essentially digging our way up the mountain.
I came across the kudzu roots that I had marked a couple of days ago, and without any hesitation, I took out a hoe and started digging them up.
Once the excavation has loosened slightly, use spatial abilities to collect them.
We had no choice but to keep them at first, because the kudzu vines were so long and buried so deep.
It's like trying to store kudzu in a spatial dimension, which would require storing the entire mountain in that dimension – the pressure is immense.
However, once the soil is loosened, the resistance won't be that small, and it will be a bit more difficult than when you're normally collecting things.
We dug up kudzu roots and planted sweet potato vines along the way, but time didn't fly by much. By the time we got near where we were digging our traps, more than an hour had passed.
I glanced at my watch; in about half an hour, it would be time for lunch.
Yunxi checked the trap first, and even though she was already very close, she couldn't hear any movement inside, so she had a premonition.
When she got closer to the trap, she knew her premonition was right. The trap had been destroyed, and apart from some bloodstains, nothing was left.
