"What else can we do but bear it? So many years have passed. The village chief has always felt indebted to their family, so he's just continued living like this. But in the last two years, Li Qingzhu has grown up and become increasingly outrageous, which may have really pushed the village chief to the limit."
Lin Cuicui shook her head. Tang Yue, listening from the side, thought that family was simply bizarre. It must be because the village chief had been compromising for too long, and they had already developed a sense of superiority in the village.
She invited two families over for dinner. Lin Cuicui had already crushed the corn and mixed it with rice to make a mixed rice dish. There was no meat at home; families without meat ration coupons couldn't buy meat even if they had money.
The family is now old and young, so Lin Cuicui didn't dare to make a fuss and didn't buy any meat.
Old Li went to invite the village chief to his house for dinner, but the village chief didn't come.
After finishing their meal and cleaning up, the two families left.
Lin Cuicui discussed with Old Li, "Dad, I'm thinking that our family needs two workers a day. Let Da Bei and Er Nan come over and help us. We should be able to work a full day."
Old Li took a puff of his empty pipe. "Tomorrow, let's see what the work is like here. I'm thinking of trying to get three jobs a day so we can have enough to eat."
Lin Cuicui wanted to say that her family was now wealthy and didn't need to go through so much trouble, but considering the size of their family, she didn't say it aloud.
Tang Dong sat down next to Lin Cuicui and said, "Mom, I'll go help in the fields tomorrow too."
Lin Cuicui wanted to say no, but seeing that Tang Dong was very serious, she didn't argue. Anyway, if he couldn't do it, he would come back on his own.
“The firewood we’ve been using these past few days has come from our two aunts’ families. After we finish work, we need to go up the mountain to gather some firewood.”
"good."
At night, Tang Yue and Lin Cuicui now sleep in the same bed. Her mother's breathing was uneven, but Tang Yue, who was meditating with her eyes closed, didn't notice.
After a while, Lin Cuicui spoke up, "Yueyue, I think I can sense spiritual energy?"
Tang Yue opened her eyes with a "whoosh," her eyes filled with surprise.
"Mom, can you feel it? What color is it?"
Lin Cuicui was a little uncertain, "It seems to be yellow, and there's also red?"
Tang Yue was very happy; it seemed that her mother might have both fire and earth spiritual roots.
"Mom, can you still see the other colors of aura?"
"Huh? There are other colors too?"
Lin Cuicui closed her eyes and carefully sensed it for a while, then shook her head.
"No, you can only see these two types."
"Hmm, it's okay, Mom. You can try to draw the spiritual energy of those colors into your body."
"good."
Lin Cuicui tried following the instructions Tang Yue had given her, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she still couldn't get it right.
"Oh, no, honey. How about you try channeling a little more spiritual energy into Mommy? Just a tiny bit will do."
Tang Yue was a little puzzled, "Transfer spiritual energy?"
Lin Cuicui couldn't see Tang Yue's expression in the darkness, but she could hear the confusion in her daughter's voice. "Yes, I got seasick that day, and you channeled some spiritual energy into me, didn't you? It was from that moment that I think I started to understand what spiritual energy was."
I've been trying to sense it for the past two nights while I'm sleeping, and today I finally saw those little points of light.
Tang Yue was overjoyed. "Mom, are you telling the truth?"
Lin Cuicui was a little puzzled. She sat up and asked, "Um, what's wrong?"
Tang Yue had a bold hypothesis. Although it was still immature, she wanted to give it a try.
She reached out her little hand and grasped her mother's hand, thinking of fire and earth spirit energy. Then, faint red and yellow light spots rushed towards Lin Cuicui's palm.
In that instant, Lin Cuicui felt incredibly wonderful. She let out a comfortable sigh.
"Mom, this is the feeling, you know?"
Lin Cuicui was very happy, "Okay, I'll try again."
"Yes, Mom, keep it up."
Tang Yue got out of bed after speaking, but Lin Cuicui stopped her, saying, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find my brothers and grandpa."
More than a month has passed since the family learned about the spiritual energy. Apart from Tang Bei, who sensed the spiritual energy, Tang Shengkai was the one she sensed after channeling spiritual energy into him.
Now her mother says she sensed it by channeling spiritual energy. Tang Yue then has a bold guess: could someone be using spiritual power to guide newcomers, allowing them to sense the presence of spiritual energy more quickly?
As long as they can absorb spiritual energy into their bodies, they are different from ordinary people.
When Tang Yue arrived, the four people there were also cultivating. Except for Tang Bei, who was fighting against the light spots, everything else was pitch black.
Sensing someone, the group opened their eyes in the darkness.
Tang Yue is small, so they can easily sense it.
Tang Bei sat up and took his younger sister's hand. "What's wrong, little sister? Can't you sleep?"
Tang Yue shook her head, seeing that everyone had sat up. Tang Yue asked, "Big brother, are you still unable to absorb spiritual energy?"
Speaking of this, Tang Bei became somewhat frustrated. "These past few days, I've felt the spiritual energy around me increasing, but no matter how I summon it, those guys just won't come. They won't even come near me."
Tang Yue felt that Tang Bei probably still didn't know what it felt like to absorb those small orbs of light into his palm or body.
Tang Yue opened her big eyes and asked Tang Bei, "Brother, can I help you?"
"Huh? How can I help?"
Tang Yue held Tang Bei's small hand and gently channeled the water and wood spiritual energy into his palm. In that instant, Tang Bei felt a tingling sensation all over his head. "Brother, can you feel it?"
Tang Bei nodded excitedly. But that wasn't all. Tang Yue drew the water and wood elemental energy from the air into Tang Bei's palm and then sent it inside.
That tingling yet pleasant feeling on my scalp came back again.
