"The East is Red, the sun is rising, in the East a..."
The loudspeaker in the village played the red songs that were played every morning.
"Sign in."
[“Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in for 5 high-level spiritual springs, 5 body-refining pills, 10 high-level evil-repelling talismans, and 10 high-level spiritual beast meats.”]
Gu Zuozuo looked at the scribbles in his hand, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head.
"Klas, is there a ghost here?"
The system spun in a circle, its tone cheerful.
"Yes, host. It's a pity I'm not a ghost-catching system, so I can't give you the ability to see ghosts. But don't worry. After the founding of this plane, spirits were banned. They can't become a force to be reckoned with, and they can't cause any harm to humans."
Apart from occasionally scaring children who cannot speak before one year old, they have no offensive power. Unlike the ghosts in the supernatural world, they can use 180 kinds of ghost killing techniques on humans at any time, and each of them is ferocious.
Gu Zuozuo was surprised. It turned out that there really were ghosts in this world. She had always thought that they were the product of human’s rich imagination.
She shook the stack of yellow paper talismans in her hand. It was useless even if she signed for them.
[Host, you can install it in the system and let me sell it for you. This thing is a life-saving thing in the supernatural world.]
Gu Zuozuo didn't hesitate and directly asked the system to help sell it.
Picking up a large bundle of firewood on the ground with his left hand and two pheasants in his right hand, Gu Zuozuo slowly walked towards the educated youth point against the morning light.
"Tsk... I thought my family was so powerful, but now they're asking for special treatment. Turns out they're just trying to get some extra money. Some people are really thick-skinned!"
Gu Zuozuo paused as he entered the room, turned around to look at Ye Hua, who was holding the washbasin and speaking in a sarcastic tone, and frowned slightly. What was this man doing so crazy so early in the morning?
There was malice in Ye Hua's eyes as she looked at Gu Zuozuo with contempt. Haha, she was so arrogant and thought her family had some great connections. It turned out that she was just a person who asked her friends for food and drinks and looked down on them. How could she have the nerve to look down on them?
"What are you looking at? Am I wrong? Don't you eat and wear your friends' clothes?"
He heard that the girl named Meng Tian said that she would give one of the packages her parents sent to Gu Zuozuo. Thinking of this, he was almost crazy with jealousy.
Both were educated youth sent to the countryside, and both were children abandoned by their families. Why was it that Gu Zuozuo had two friends to take care of her, and lived so freely and comfortably, having no worries about food and drink, and spending money like water?
As for him, not only did his family not help him at all, they also asked him to send back the food he earned in exchange for a year's work points. No one thought about whether he had enough to eat or warm clothes to wear here.
Gu Zuozuo raised his eyebrows and understood, it was conjunctivitis.
"none of your business!"
I originally thought that places with many women would be the place for gossip, but it turns out that these men have more trouble than women. Each of them has a mind smaller than a sesame seed. They often mock the female educated youth and secretly interfere in the affairs of the girls in the village.
She had been in this era for almost a month, and she hadn't noticed anything about being simple and honest, but she had trained all the common problems of men to the maximum level.
"Rude! Barbaric! Are you a woman?"
"Are you blind? I'm not you, am I?"
Having said that, Gu Zuozuo glanced at him from top to bottom with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Ye Hua's face flushed. Don't think that they can't understand what this woman's eyes mean. It's not that insulting.
"you……!!"
Gu Zuozuo no longer paid attention to the man's mental disorder. She turned around and put the firewood into the newly built firewood shed next to the door of their room, and took the pheasant out of the firewood.
The villagers basically don't care about people going up the mountain to hunt, unless they have to hand over wild boars and sheep to the village. They can keep pheasants and rabbits for themselves. However, they knew about it and were afraid that someone in the village would be jealous, so they put it in the firewood and carried it back.
Ye Hua stood in the corner, looking at the two pheasants in Gu Zuozuo's hands with jealousy on his face. The aroma of meat in their house every day almost made him greedy to death.
Gu Zuozuo didn't care about his mood. He killed the chicken, boiled water, and plucked the feathers with quick movements.
"Zuo Zuo, you're going out so early again?"
Meng Tian yawned and walked out of the house in a daze. As a result, she shivered all over when she was blown by the cold morning air outside.
"Well, exercise and pick up firewood."
Meng Tian admired her from the bottom of her heart for her unwavering determination to go out and practice martial arts before dawn every day. She couldn't get up anyway, either because her bed didn't smell good or her quilt wasn't warm enough. Getting up so early would almost kill her.
They had built a double stove at the beginning. At this moment, water was boiling in one pot, and corn grits porridge had been cooked in the other pot before she left. Now, when the lid of the pot was opened, the sweet aroma of corn instantly woke up her dizzy head, and her stomach, which had been empty all night, began to rumble like the empty city plan.
“It smells so good!”
Meng Tian had a toothbrush in her mouth. When she smelled the scent, she kept stretching her neck towards here. When she saw the golden porridge in the pot, she almost swallowed the toothpaste foam in her mouth out of greed.
"Eat quickly. We're going to the mountains to collect firewood today. The captain said the mountains will be closed to the elements in half a month. We need to prepare enough firewood for the winter as soon as possible."
Meng Tian hurriedly washed her face, went back to the room and applied the skin care products specially made for them by Gu Zuozuo, and then woke up Qi Meng who was sleeping soundly.
"Don't sleep! It's time to work!"
Qi Meng was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She had been so excited organizing the packages sent from home most of the night before. How long had she slept?
Thinking of the package, Qi Meng suddenly woke up, looked around, and didn't see her sisters, so she looked outside stealthily.
"Where's Zuo Zuo? Is she okay?"
It was only after reading the letter that they learned that Mr. and Mrs. Gu, who had been missing for five years, were gone. Although the cause was not explained, they did not see the bodies with their own eyes.
The military seal on the letter of credit should not be fake, and the certificate for children of martyrs is not fake either.
They all shed tears of grief and even woke up crying twice in the middle of the night. As a person who waited for her parents to come home every day at home, Gu Zuozuo had no idea how grief they must have felt.
Meng Tian paused what she was doing, and her heart became sad again, with her eyes slightly red.
When there was no news, everyone held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that they must be living a peaceful life in some corner they didn't know about.
But when the news of his sacrifice came, it made them more heartbroken and sad than no news at all.
"I couldn't tell she was feeling any emotion. She just kept her head down and worked."
Qi Meng felt even more upset. Zuo Zuo definitely didn't want them to worry about her, so she hid all her sadness and pain in her heart, and didn't know how to cry in private.
No! She wanted to write a letter to her uncle, asking him to buy some more things and send them over to comfort Zuo Zuo. She also wanted to inform them about what happened to Uncle Gu and Mother Gu. After all, Mother Gu was her uncle's teacher. If she didn't tell them now, she would be nagged again when they found out.
