Chapter 278: Do your best and leave the rest to fate
Gu Nan's mouth twitched, and he turned over and got off the bed, "I'm going to find someone to do some work."
Even from a distance away, one could still hear Jiang Wanying's soft laughter. "Come over anytime if you need anything. We can handle anything you want."
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and Gu Nan walked faster and faster.
If the snow doesn't stop, a large number of houses will be crushed sooner or later, so she has to build temporary shelters first.
Go to the government office to buy houses and land, go to the brokerage firm to post recruitment notices, and finally buy oil, grain, rice, flour, charcoal and firewood.
She was willing to spend money, and the deed was issued on the same day, but there were not enough craftsmen. Unless they were really poor and could not even afford to eat, no one was willing to risk their lives to work in the heavy snow.
Gu Nan had no choice but to buy a few more slaves, but they were all short of food and clothing and could not work immediately.
As night fell, Gu Nan directed the temporary workers rented from the pawnshop to transport supplies.
The snow stopped for a while in the afternoon, but started again as soon as it got dark. The wind was strong and the snow was heavy, making it almost impossible to see the road under my feet.
There was no one sweeping the snow in the alley, and the temperature was so low that the snow had already frozen. A short man lost his balance and was about to fall.
Gu Nan used a spell to support him, and at the same time, he raised his foot to support the rice bag that was about to fall, and whispered, "Be careful."
The man was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly stood up and carried the rice back on his shoulder. "Thank you, Miss."
These two brief exchanges seemed to turn on a switch, and someone in the team broke the silence.
"The snow in Kyoto is really heavy! This is the first time I've seen such heavy snow in my life. It's almost up to my calves."
"When will this snow stop? My toes are going to freeze off."
"You're stupid. It's only cold when the snow melts. It's not even cold now. It'll be at least March next year."
Then the topic turned to Gu Nan, "Miss, you are really strong. This is the first time I have seen someone carry four big bags at once."
Gu Nan helped them move things. Most people carried two bags, but she carried four. She could carry more, but she was afraid of scaring people away, as she would need help with many other things later.
"I have practiced martial arts." Gu Nan replied simply.
Seeing that she was willing to pay attention, they asked her in a flurry of questions, asking if there was a big happy event in some family, otherwise why would she want so much so urgently.
Gu Nan said a few perfunctory words and ended the topic.
She bought a lot of things from various grain and oil stores, and was afraid that they would regret it if she didn't move out quickly.
In the face of natural disasters, prices are raised in the early stages, but there is no demand for goods in the later stages. Only food and supplies are hard currency.
After moving the things and receiving the wages, Gu Nan went to the government office a few times and had a few dreams.
She firmly believes that there is strength in numbers and only when the government takes action can the people unite and fight the disaster with all their might.
It doesn’t matter if they don’t believe it. She will appear in their dreams every night, tomorrow and the night after tomorrow, and the night after tomorrow.
If possible, she would like to get into the emperor's dream.
"Sister, are you crazy?" Jiang Wanying couldn't believe it. "You, a fierce ghost, entered the palace???"
This is as outrageous as saying to an ordinary person "I want to take a bath in a frying pan."
It's really like a dung beetle wandering around looking for death.
"Give up that idea as soon as possible. The palace is filled with dragon energy, which is specifically designed to ward off evil spirits. Forget about dreaming. The emperor is in his prime, full of vigor and vitality. Ordinary evil spirits can't get close to him."
Gu Nan was unwilling to give up and asked the system: "Is it not possible even though I have so many merits?"
No matter how busy she is, it cannot outweigh the above sentence: only the country and the treasury can truly lead everyone through natural disasters.
System: [Merit can only protect the host from harm. It is a defensive skill and cannot help the host break through others' defenses.]
Jiang Wanying added, "If you can break Chunyi's Golden Bell, maybe you can give it a try."
Gu Nan drew circles on the table in frustration.
She doesn't even know what Junyi's Golden Bell Cover is, what a piece of bubble gum.
"Don't overthink it. What you've done is enough." Jiang Wanying comforted Gu Nan, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Isn't that what you advised me before?"
This is how Gu Nan comforted Jiang Wanying when they picked up Niu Niu and lychees.
If Jiang Wanying hadn't used her ghost power to hold them up, all five children might have fallen to their deaths and would never have been able to wait for Gu Nan and Chunyi.
It’s enough to do what you can.
Thinking of Niuniu and Lizhi, Gu Nan smiled softly, "In a few months, Lizhi will be able to walk on her own. Then I will bring her down the mountain to see you."
"Okay, I'll make a room for them when the time comes, and they can have fun at the foot of the mountain for a while." Jiang Wanying pulled Gu Nan onto the couch and wrapped her in the fox fur.
"You've been running around all day. Come read a book with me before you go."
When Gu Nan thought of that fiery literature, his head buzzed.
If she could sleep with Junyi, she would have to learn a few tricks and go back to tease him and make him cry.
But she couldn't go up, and no matter how much she watched, it only increased her desire, and it was only her climax.
It's a bit vulgar, so I just don't watch it.
But Jiang Wanying didn't tease her this time, she just stuffed a travel journal into her hand.
Two of the pages were folded, recording a country in the north called Ross, where lived the fierce, aggressive, tall and beautiful Rakshasas. When they were in a good mood, they would fight with blind bears, and when they were in a bad mood, they would also fight with blind bears. All they did was fight every day.
Gu Nan looked at this familiar description and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The fighting nation with its distinctive style is indeed a unique topic of conversation wherever it goes.
Jiang Wanying glanced at it and smiled, "It's interesting, isn't it? Once you and Chunyi have settled the matter, we can go and take a look."
Gu Nan's smile paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal, "Okay."
She had left in a hurry the previous two times, but if this time she succeeded and Chunyi became a Buddha, she would still have a month to accompany Jiang Wanying to Ross, so it wouldn't be considered a breach of promise.
Gu Nan read a few pages, waited until dawn, put down the book and left the city.
The snow in the sky seemed to never stop falling. Rustling, rustling, it seemed that this was the only sound left.
The snow is heavier today.
Gu Nan waited for the agreed craftsmen and slaves at the city gate and took them to the purchased wasteland to dig the foundation and build a house.
It was really difficult to work in such bad weather. Even with Gu Nan's help, they only dug out a rough outline on the first day.
There are not enough people in the dental clinic, so she needs to find more people to help.
That night, she returned to Fayuan Temple to meet Huiwu.
Hui Wu seemed to have known that she would come to him. After learning the purpose of her visit, he agreed without much hesitation.
Gu Nan finished the hot tea Hui Wu poured for her, bowed, and turned to leave.
Junyi went to Qingjing Peak to seek the truth. He has already embarked on the path he should have taken.
He did not stop her, but made things easier for her.
Gu Nan was a little curious. What was the ending that Chunyi saw about her?
