Chapter 316 Returning Home
During this period, Wu Youai came once and cautiously talked to Jingshu about something completely unrelated. Jingshu then realized that this guy was worried that she was deaf. He didn't dare to yell for fear of affecting Jingshu's mood. He also asked for help from the tutor Chu Zhuohua. He was prepared to try the tutor's method if Jingshu couldn't match the code.
Wu Youai patted his chest and said, "I was scared to death. You really lost your soul at noon. I said a few words to you, but you didn't respond..."
Jingshu couldn't help laughing when she thought of this. Fortunately, the ringing sound in her ears had subsided at that time. If Wu Youai asked her again now, he would probably treat her as deaf.
Jingshu made this bold decision after careful consideration, and practiced the Rubik's Cube in a 'self-abuse' way by constantly exercising and overusing illusions, causing headaches and buzzing in the head.
First, Jingshu was deeply influenced by online novels. Don't all kinds of abilities and martial arts need to be practiced regularly to become strong?
The illusion ability that comes with her Rubik's Cube Space is too weak and can only have a suggestive and guiding effect on one person at a time, so Jingshu hopes to increase her trump card for survival in the apocalypse. What if one day she is like the rebellious Lelouch and is besieged by a large army, but can only control one person, then she is doomed to be beaten by the group.
Jingshu will summarize the extent of her illusion ability every seven days, and record the length and pain of the illusion every day. If after a month of experimenting, it can only affect one person and her head is still buzzing, she will give up. After all, what if the self-abuse burns out her brain?
Secondly, Jingshu has tried too many methods and wanted to intensify her Rubik's Cube practice in order to advance to the next level, but they all ended in failure. Sometimes she was really impressed by the power of the Rubik's Cube. Sometimes she could do other things while practicing the Rubik's Cube, so this should be the same as the last time she advanced to the next level, which requires opportunities and conditions.
This time, Jingshu accidentally helped Qiaolian give birth to a child, which triggered what Jingshu thought was the correct way to advance. It could be considered that good intentions paid off. After all, if she hadn't helped Qiaolian give birth to a child, she didn't know how long it would take for her to have the opportunity to use illusions on two people at the same time.
According to Jingshu's experience, every time the Rubik's Cube Space is upgraded, the derived abilities come at a price.
Each level of its ability is connected to another and seems to have no connection, but Jingshu always feels that their ultimate goal is to combine them together. What Jingshu does is to unlock them layer by layer and then display the abilities of each level, so the conditions for upgrading are likely to be related to the ability of this level of the Rubik's Cube.
Let's just say that the price of practicing illusion is the roaring sound in the ears, which constantly stimulates the head and eardrums. Jingshu even suspects that the Rubik's Cube Space is in her brain. Expanding the memory and adding brain waves can expand the illusion ability. Otherwise, why does she faint and have a headache every time the Rubik's Cube Space is upgraded?
With a goal and a plan in mind, Jingshu got busy, choosing morning and evening hours for her experiments. She couldn't really deaf herself just to practice solving the Rubik's Cube, could she? After all, she couldn't hear any outside noises during the roar.
Two days later, when everyone had finally recovered from the incident, my uncle had processed all the pork, and my aunt set up a farewell banquet because Jingshu was also going back to Wucheng.
The banquet was not sumptuous, but it was the best that my aunt's family could offer. There were few dishes but a lot of meat. My aunt's family did not use many seasonings. I had to ask Jingshu for the seasoning for the main dish, Dongpo pork elbow, from her RV. As for the marinade, I was lucky because Jingshu had just braised the meat a few days ago and gave it all to my aunt.
The dishes consisted of a plate of green vegetables and a plate of scrambled eggs with black fungus that Jingshu had brought.
Even after the red nematodes died out, vegetables still could not be grown because the climate was too cold. Unless there was a greenhouse with spotlights, which also required a lot of cost, ordinary families could only grow garlic sprouts.
Just like my aunt's house, the vegetables she planted in pots in her bedroom were carefully cared for and served on the table, but they were still short and weak.
The eldest uncle took up a little wine and spoke first: "Qiao Lian gave birth to the child without any danger. Jing Lai named the child Wei Shuen. We are grateful to Jing Shu. Jing Shu has done a great favor for this child, so we named her Wei Shuen. Jing Shu, your uncle is really grateful to you. I won't tell you about your help to our family, everyone knows it. This glass is in your honor."
As he spoke, he raised his head and took a sip, making a smacking sound.
"Uncle, I should be the one toasting you. At that time, I only thought about the safety of mother and child. There was no need to use names." Jingshu quickly stood up and returned the toast with a cup of tea. She was a little happy after all.
"It's necessary. I heard Youai say that you caught a cold and had a fever that day, and I was busy here and didn't take care of you, so I specially prepared the banquet in advance today. I also want to thank you for the chicken and fish, as well as the eggs, and the milk powder your parents brought. With these, little Shuen can grow up healthily." The eldest aunt held the baby. It took only a few days for the baby to grow up, how fast.
Qiao Lian wrapped her head in a towel, her complexion restored as she smiled, "I also want to thank Grandma for her little clothes and bedding, Grandpa for his gold locket and jewelry, Third Aunt for her diapers, and that unknown sister's handkerchief. This is probably because surviving a great disaster brings good fortune. To have so many good things in this apocalypse is truly a blessing for her."
Qiao Lian is also good at talking. I heard that she let her mother go home on the day she gave birth. Perhaps it is the moment of life and death that can show clearly who she can rely on in her life. To be honest, Jingshu still believes that there is love in the world. Qiao Lian was dark and fat at that time, and Wei Zheng could still say "Save the eldest" in such a situation. And the eldest aunt and Jingnai also respected the couple's own decision, which is amazing.
The second aunt looked at them enviously, thinking of finding a wife for her son as soon as possible, and then let Jingshu bring so many things to her. In the apocalypse, being with Jingshu would mean having no worries about food and drink. She must have been kicked in the head by a donkey for offending them before the apocalypse.
The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests, except for Jingshu who was not full...
Although Jing Nai was reluctant to leave and her aunt also wanted her mother to stay for a while longer, time did not allow it. Jing Shu had to go back quickly to prepare for the third year. Wu Youai's work was about to go crazy. He worked on his mobile phone in the space capsule every day. Jing Nai's silkworms had come out again, and they would die if they were not treated well in such cold weather.
Even Jing Ye had to rush to repair the villa and do a lot of things that Jing Shu asked him to do.
Everyone was very busy, so we had to leave after eating. Before leaving, I took the things that my aunt had prepared for the family a long time ago. Country people are so generous even though they are poor. Before leaving, I must take some local specialties with me. The prepared blood clots and brains are great for making maoxuewang and hot pot; the braised pig tongues, pig hearts, and pig ears can be cut into pieces and mixed with cold dishes. They are delicious dishes that go well with rice at any time.
