Chapter 143 The Package from Afar

Yunxi grabbed her usual gear for every trip up the mountain—a basket, a machete—and, closing the door, eagerly headed down the mountain.

The flat areas at the foot of the mountain were still covered with thick snow, but it had indeed melted a bit compared to the beginning, making the road less easy to walk on.

Fortunately, Yunxi was quite steady on her way up the mountain and didn't fall. Because she was worried about falling, she specially cut a stick to support herself. However, the snow was slowly melting in some places, making the path up the mountain a little more difficult to walk. It took her ten or twenty minutes longer than usual to reach her destination.

The original stream was no different from last year, but when we arrived at the site for reclaiming wasteland, it was overgrown with weeds. To clear it, we had to remove the weeds first.

Fortunately, Yunxi knew how to be lazy. She simply used her spatial abilities to wander around the field a few times and collect all the weeds that shouldn't be there into her space.

They even went out of their way to examine the land; the combined effect of space and spiritual power was greater than the sum of its parts, and they could start planting things right away.

But when she touched the ground, she found it was still very cold. If she planted the seeds now, she felt it would be a waste, as they would all freeze.

I'm thinking of waiting a while before making a decision. Anyway, the land has already been prepared, and we can start planting whenever it's ready.

I glanced at my watch; it was already four in the afternoon. There was still a long time before I got home, so I decided not to delay any longer and avoid getting home too late.

Yunxi didn't encounter a single person on the way down the mountain, and had no idea what the others were doing!

After returning home, I glanced at myself and saw that I was covered in filth from the forest. I added some firewood to the stove, and after the fire was burning, I added more cold water to heat it up so I could take a nice bath.

As for the hot water stored in the space, I'll keep it for now. Anyway, I have time to boil water now, and I'll use the hot water in the space next time I don't have time to boil water.

When the water was ready, Yunxi went back inside, took out the box where she hid her money, and prepared to count her secret stash of cash.

When I counted all the money, I found that it totaled more than 10,000 yuan, which didn't seem like a small amount. They were probably considered wealthy in the village.

Moreover, he hadn't sold any of his valuable medicinal herbs, including the pile of meat in his spatial storage, which he planned to save for when he needed to use it.

Anyway, Yunxi's intuition was particularly accurate. She always felt that something bad was going to happen soon, and the whole world gave her a feeling of turmoil.

Perhaps she can accumulate more merit by storing up more supplies now, so that she can do so when the time comes.

Yunxi found it somewhat difficult to accept that she had become human and could no longer cultivate.

So she plans to accumulate more merits and see if she can be reborn into a place where she can cultivate in her next life. Even if she is reborn as a peach tree again, it doesn't matter, because she was originally a peach tree spirit.

After having this idea in mind, something flashed through her mind for a moment, and then Yunxi became determined to achieve this goal.

Even if she wanted to earn merit, Yunxi didn't plan to give things away for free; she felt she wasn't that kind of generous person.

After taking stock of the items in the space, although it seemed like there was already a lot, compared to the infinitely large space, the things stored in the space were just the tip of the iceberg.

I need to continue storing more things in the future, and see how full I can fill up the storage space in my lifetime.

The inventory of supplies took some time, and after I finished preparing everything, I went to the kitchen and found that the water was already boiled.

I carried the water straight into the house, mixed it, poured it into the bathtub, and took a relaxing bath, also washing my hair at the same time.

After washing up, I poured the dirty water into the ditch. Looking at the well next to the ditch, a thought suddenly popped into my head: store water.

It was sudden, for some reason, when this thought suddenly popped into her head, but Yunxi still trusted her intuition.

We can store more well water for drinking, and we can also store more river water when we have free time. Since there's so much space, we might as well stock up.

I made a mental note of this, and seeing that it was getting late, I prepared to go to the kitchen to cook. The food I had stored in my space was just for when I didn't feel like cooking. Now that I had nothing to do, cooking a meal wouldn't take much time.

I took out some green peppers that I had stored from last year from my space, and I'm going to stir-fry some green peppers with pork, then stir-fry some water spinach, and then bring out a bowl of braised pork and some pork rib soup from my space, which will be my dinner tonight.

It took half an hour to cook the two dishes. I took them directly into the house, took out rice, braised pork, and pork rib soup from my storage space, and started to eat heartily.

After dinner, it got dark. Yunxi thought that the formal teaching would begin tomorrow, so she took advantage of the early hour to review the textbook content.

For Yunxi, reviewing the textbook content is simply about memorizing all the knowledge. If she could just go through it all, she would feel like she didn't even need to bring the books to school.

My brain is so sharp that I always feel like it would be a waste of it if I didn't read more books.

I've already finished reading the books I bought last time. It seems I'll have to buy a few more when I have time. Since I'm smart enough now, I should learn as much as I can.

I went to the desk, sat on the stool, and took out the new book that I had been given out that day from my schoolbag. It was brand new, without a single mark except for a name written on it.

I have two classes tomorrow morning, Chinese and Math. I might as well start with Chinese and Math, and after reading about ten pages, I'll switch to other books.

Before she knew it, she was completely absorbed in the book, as if she didn't feel the passage of time. When Yunxi put down the book, she glanced at the time on her hand and found that it was already 11 o'clock.

Yunxi was surprised that so much time had passed. She quickly put away her books and got some rest, as she had to get up early for school the next day!

Life went on in an orderly fashion. Every day, besides going to school, I would go to check on the private plot of land or the reclaimed land on the mountain after school. When the weather warmed up and all the snow melted, I would finish planting all those plots of land.

I even planted some vegetables in the backyard. With the help of space and mental energy, the work was really easy. It only took a week. I worked on it every day after school and then it was done.

Every day was peaceful. After school, I was alone. During school, Li Xingtang would come to talk to me every day, which led to misunderstandings among the other classmates.

Yunxi suspected that Yunxi and Li Xingtang might be dating, but neither of them offered any explanation. Yunxi had originally intended to explain, but seeing Li Xingtang's pleading eyes, she simply forgot about it.

My peaceful life was disrupted by a package mailed from afar.

Yunxi had long forgotten about Liu Chunbai. If it weren't for this package, she probably wouldn't even remember who he was.

I really didn't expect that Liu Chunbai would send me such a big package.

There was also a letter inside, which didn't contain any ambiguous words. It just told her to focus on her studies and not to date during her school years. It said that once she got into a good school, she would find that there were plenty of good guys out there.

Yunxi looked at the letter and figured that he probably knew about the rumors at school and was writing to make his presence known.

Although she didn't know how he found out, Yunxi didn't pay too much attention to it. The gist of it was that he was interested in her.

Then I saw all sorts of things that were sent over, including milk powder, canned food, malted milk powder, several boxes of biscuits in tin boxes, and a big bag of dried red dates. All of these things together were not cheap.

After looking at the contents of the package, Yunxi was even more certain of her guess. Despite how cold he was to her last time, he's now eagerly sending things over, worried that she might have forgotten about him!
