Chapter 120 Peach Blossom Essence

Yunxi carried her basket on her back and went into the cornfield to start picking corn.

At first, the work was quite easy, but as time went by, sweat began to trickle down my forehead, drop by drop.

Once the basket was full, they would leave the cornfield and dump it directly onto the drying ground before continuing to harvest corn from the field.

Yunxi felt fortunate that she hadn't taken on too many tasks, only one acre of land. She figured that if she worked a little harder today, she should be able to finish it.

If she were alone, she could simply use her abilities to control them, but now there are people all around her, so she has to honestly pry them off one by one, which is really exhausting.

Yunxi had never felt that working was such a tiring thing. How easy it was to cheat before, how hard it is now that she can't cheat.

By the time they took a midday break, only half of the land had been dried. Their once delicate hands were covered in blisters, and even their fair and smooth skin was scratched by the corn leaves, with occasional streaks of blood seeping from the cuts.

If it weren't for the fact that you can't take leave during the autumn harvest, Yunxi really wouldn't want to work. You have to work in order to get a share of the grain when it's distributed. If it's not enough, you can use money to buy more. Fortunately, everyone in the village is related to each other, so no one will object to buying more.

By the time they were able to go back for lunch, Yunxi had finished the entire thermos of water she had brought. The weather was hot, and she was sweating profusely, her mouth was extremely dry, and the thermos of water wasn't enough for her.

When I got back, I immediately splashed cold water on my body, and the itching finally stopped. Then I applied some plant essence to the small wounds, and the cool, refreshing feeling made me feel better.

All the blisters on my hands were popped, and some plant extracts were applied. I could feel the blisters itching, as if they were healing.

The recovery is going quite fast; I think I'll be almost fully recovered by the time I need to get back to work.

After tidying myself up, I took out some porridge from my space. It was so hot that I didn't want to eat, so I just had some porridge with some pickled vegetables to make do.

Yunxi felt that she just hadn't adapted yet, and once she did, it wouldn't be so hard.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, and before they had even had a long rest, they heard the loudspeaker outside again. They sighed heavily in their hearts; these people were just too diligent, and they were already starting to work again so soon.

I quickly filled the kettle with cooled boiled water, and then took out a lot of peach petals that I had collected before from my space. I crushed the peach petals and dissolved their essence into the cooled boiled water. That way, when I was very tired, I could drink a sip of the cooled boiled water infused with the essence and feel refreshed. This way, I wouldn't be so tired when I was working.

I didn't even think about it this morning, and I didn't expect the work to be so hard. Now that I know how hard it is, I definitely need to prepare in advance.

After putting on his hat and carrying a glass of cold water, he headed straight for the plot of land he hadn't finished working on that morning.

On the way, we passed by other people's assigned plots and saw that some of them had almost finished working on one acre of land, and some had even started working on a second plot. They were really capable.

She hurried to her plot of land, picked up her basket, and went inside. Even though she was wearing gloves, her hands were still incredibly sore. Yunxi ignored the discomfort and had only one thought in her mind: to finish the work as quickly as possible.

When you're focused on something, it's easy to lose track of time. After Yunxi finished harvesting all the corn in the entire acre, she checked the time and it was already almost 3 or 4 in the afternoon.

After finally finishing picking the corn, Yunxi breathed a heavy sigh of relief. She took all the corn to the square and then grabbed a machete from home. Although the corn had been picked, the corn stalks had not yet been cut, so the work was not yet finished.

Fortunately, his body had been modified, so he was still quite strong. When he wielded the machete, he could chop one tree at a time, and he was quite fast.

After two or three hours, it was already dark when they finally finished chopping. Yunxi felt like her hands didn't belong to her anymore, and her whole body ached terribly.

At this point, Yunxi no longer felt that living in the countryside was good. It was so tiring, and if she continued to live in the countryside, working would be unavoidable.

Although living in the countryside means having an endless supply of meat and even a variety of vegetables to eat freely, the thought of having to work makes me decide against it.

If you persevere in getting into a good high school, a good university, and then find a good job, you'll instantly feel fulfilled.

After dragging my tired body home, I didn't want to do anything, not even eat. I just collapsed into a chair.

If she weren't so dirty and smelled so bad, she would have wanted to crawl into bed and get a good night's sleep.

However, considering that I worked on one acre of land today and earned eight work points, I still feel quite accomplished.

After resting for a while and drinking some plain water with peach blossom essence, I finally regained some energy.

The first thing I did was feed the chickens in the backyard and the quails in the storage room next door. I collected a few eggs. The quails had also laid a few eggs, but not many, only about four. It seemed that some of them were frightened and didn't want to lay eggs, or that there were males mixed in and they wouldn't lay eggs.

The quail eggs were really too small. If she weren't waiting to eat fried quail, she really wouldn't want to raise them. They were so noisy and chattering.

Store all the eggs in your spatial storage and give them to the quails when they need to incubate them. Hopefully, the fried quails won't disappoint me, or all my efforts will have been in vain.

First, I went to the kitchen and boiled a large pot of water for myself. While boiling the water, I put a lot of peach petals from my space into the pot. These peach petals all contained a trace of spiritual energy. When I boiled them in the water, the spiritual energy entered my body during my bath, which relieved the pain and made my body stronger. Although it was not visible on the outside, I could feel it.

Once the water boiled, it was placed directly into a large bathtub and transported to the room using spatial abilities. When the water cooled just right for washing, I simply took off my clothes and soaked in the water.

When I'm soaking in the water, I can clearly feel something entering my body. I think that's the spiritual energy of the peach petals, seeping into my body.
