Chapter 33 Chapter 33 The Taste of Konpeito
"Come over tomorrow?" Gong Zhili turned on the night light beside the bed, leaned against the railing, and answered Xia Yujie's question in a low voice, "Anytime is fine. I have endless work to do here anyway."
Gojo Satoru was walking beside Geto Suguru. When he saw his best friend holding up his phone, he suddenly laughed. He leaned over and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Xia Yujie pushed his face away and said to the other end of the phone, "Can you take a break sometime? You're always working and working."
Gong Zhili on the other end of the phone said something, and Xia Yujie laughed even more happily, but he said, "That's not true."
Gojo Satoru curled his lips. He had heard the other person say, "Because I'm a farmer..." It was just that kind of talk, so what was so strange about it!
And it was he who first met Gong Zhili, and it was he who introduced them there!
After Geto Suguru finished his call, Gojo Satoru asked, "Are you really determined to do this? What if the cursed spirits riot in the village—"
Geto: "I won't be that reckless."
Gojo Satoru continued to ask, "You freed the Curse Jade from the cursed object and sent it to the village. What will happen to the cursed object that contained the Curse Jade?"
They cannot guarantee that cursed objects will not be absorbed after entering the village.
Xia Yujie laughed: "Actually, you have already helped me solve this problem before."
Gojo Satoru's mind raced, and he immediately came up with this: "That cursed spirit—but can't that cursed spirit only swallow inanimate objects?"
Swallowing cursed objects and inanimate objects are two different things. The cursed object itself carries cursed power, and when it enters the body of the cursed spirit, an irreconcilable conflict will arise between the two.
He had only seen a cursed spirit that could hold various cursed tools around Fushiguro Shigeki.
Geto Xia Yu raised an eyebrow: "I changed the cursed spirit's - attributes? You could say that."
So he can control the cursed spirit to swallow the cursed tool, and then swallow the cursed spirit himself.
Gojo Satoru looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "Should I say you're truly a genius—or should I say the Cursed Spirit Jade smells so terrible that you've put in 200 percent effort on this matter?"
He even managed to change the attributes of the cursed spirit - something that Geto Suguru couldn't do after he defected in his previous life!
Xia Yujie is now in a very peaceful state of mind: "After getting rid of the bothersome smell, my mind has become much clearer."
He does not avoid talking about this matter now, perhaps because this matter has almost been left behind him, and he has more time to look elsewhere.
For example, the plan Gojo Satoru has been working on since the start of the school year: "You're almost letting me join your plan, right? You're always calling me 'best friend' and 'best friend', but keeping what you've been doing a secret. Isn't that a bit bad?"
Gojo Satoru turned his gaze away and muttered, "Is this all your attention focused on this?"
Geto Suguru reminded him: "You have been making too much noise since the start of the school year. It's hard not to notice unless you are deaf and blind." Only someone like Glass who doesn't care about these things would not mention it and would not be interested - Glass was more interested in the newly paved gravel road in the school than in "what Gojo Satoru is doing."
Gojo Satoru: "This matter is very complicated and not suitable for a newcomer to the world of spells."
Xia Yujie smiled: "Are you trying to provoke me?"
Gojo Satoru's eyes widened: "I'm giving you advice seriously!"
Seeing that he still didn't want to talk about this topic, Xia Yujie said, "If you need help, tell me."
Gojo Satoru said nothing, but clenched his left fist and lightly hit his shoulder to show that he understood.
As the owner of the land, the ruler of the village, and the supreme shrine maiden in the eyes of the villagers, Miya Chiri had never thought about so many problems. Since Geto Suguru said he wanted to come, then he came.
Meimeizi was still woken up by her and asked drowsily, "Master Gong, what happened?"
Gong Zhili closed his phone and said, "It's okay, go to sleep."
The night is deep and I have no dreams.
--
The mountain peaks are hidden under the blue-gray sky, and the water surface is covered with milky mist, faintly reflecting the shadows of the mountains. Early egrets fly across the water, the dead reeds on the lakeshore are half bent, and the bamboo forest on the opposite bank is bent by the night dew. A few ducks swim away. At this time, the farmers are still asleep, and the village is quiet and peaceful.
Gong Zhili was awakened by the movement of the land.
When she woke up, she saw a few blue jades floating beside the bed. She raised her hand to grab them and found that there was a faint blue light on her arm.
She came to her senses immediately.
What's going on? Why is there a blue aura around her?
She reached out and first put the blue jades into the small basket hanging beside the bed, then carefully examined the changes in her body.
After checking from beginning to end, the conclusion is that there is no change. The only thing that has changed is probably her eyes.
Whether looking at yourself or the scenery outside, you can see a faint blue halo.
It was undoubtedly Geto who brought about this change.
After he entered the village, that kind of power poured out without reservation, causing a change in her eyes.
Gong Zhili covered her eyes, trying to restore her vision to normal.
In fact, after living here for so long, she has some guesses about this situation. Perhaps the land absorbed her power before, which caused her ability to not be fully exerted. However, with her own labor and the supplement of external magic power, the quantitative change has caused a small qualitative change today. The evidence is that she can observe the manifestation of her own power with her naked eyes.
Since it is her own power, of course she can control it freely.
She lowered her hand, and the halo in her vision disappeared.
It was still early, but Gong Zhili had to get up.
I wonder what the Cursed Jade will taste like this time.
Maybe because she hadn’t had breakfast yet, she felt a little hungry when she looked at the Curse Jade in the basket.
After washing up and cooking some porridge, she went out to open the door of the chicken and duck shed, letting them out to walk around and look for food. But the chickens and ducks were still sleeping at this time and were not awakened by her.
Gong Zhili walked around the grassland and the lake, and was surprised to find that chickens and ducks had laid eggs!
She found five in the pyracantha bush and two in a grass nest by the lake.
It would be great if they could lay eggs stably in the future. Thinking of this, Gong Zhili added feed to the trough as a snack for them.
After she strolled through the vegetable garden and orchard, she moved the potted plants she had planted yesterday to the porch railing outside the west door. At this time, Geto Xia Yu leisurely walked to the edge of the terraced fields.
"Chiri, good morning." Geto Suguru pulled his hand out of his pocket and greeted her. "Did you receive the curse spirit I released?"
Gong Zhili nodded: "Good morning - the Curse Jade is with me, but is it necessary to come so early?"
Only then did the sun rise over the mountain, casting golden light on the lake.
Geto Xiayou: "I want to have some breakfast, there's no reason for me to keep you waiting."
He understands that if you want to eat for free, you have to be proactive.
Gong Zhili: "You could have told me in advance last night, although I did make your portion." I put a lot more rice in the casserole in the morning.
"We're having vegetable porridge and sweet potato pancakes this morning, mainly sweet. Is that okay?" she asked.
Geto Suguru said that he is not picky, and if he really can't get enough of the food, he will just fry an egg.
Gong Zhili went to the kitchen and asked, "Speaking of which, Xia Yu, do you eat salted eggs?"
Geto Summer Oil: "What is a salted egg?"
Gong Zhili pondered for a moment and said, "Well, it's just pickled duck eggs."
Geto: "I've never heard of it, but I think it'll be delicious if you make it."
Gong Zhili smiled and said, "I'll definitely invite you to try it when the time comes." She'll start making it after she's collected a certain number of duck eggs. It's a perfect match for porridge for breakfast.
Before breakfast, Geto Xiayou got the cursed jades. He stood at the kitchen door and swallowed them one by one.
Gong Zhili stared at his expression and asked, "What's the smell this time?"
Xia Yujie paused and said, "Have you ever eaten konpeito?"
Miyajima pulled out the twins' konpeito jar from the refrigerator. "This kind?"
Geto Xiayou nodded: "That's the taste of this candy."
Gong Zhili frowned and became confused. Xia Yujie's mood brightened completely at this moment. Seeing this, he asked, "Is there any problem?"
Gong Zhili said, "The first transformed Curse Spirit Jade you ate tasted like grass. The origin of that Curse Spirit was related to the land. The second Curse Spirit Jade was the weakest, a fly head, and it tasted as bland as boiled water. I thought the flavor of the transformed Curse Spirit Jade would be related to the properties of the Curse Spirit itself—but the taste you just tasted overturned my guess."
Xia Yujie didn't discuss this with her, but only said: "The origin of the cursed spirit is not good. I still prefer the taste of konpeito."
Seeing the disappointment on Gong Zhili's face, he asked cautiously, "You seem a little disappointed?"
Gong Zhili sighed deeply: "I was planning to try it..."
Geto Suguru: "Don't be too interested in this kind of thing." It's not a good thing.
When the twins woke up, they were surprised to see Brother Takeru coming to visit again. Among the three guys from the technical secondary school, their favorite was undoubtedly Takeru Takeru.
Of course, they are very good at reading the atmosphere and just secretly rank the three people in their hearts without saying it out loud. By the way, Lord Gong does not participate in the ranking.
Geto Xiayou also noticed the changes in the house, the pits and plastic film in the living room, and the additional furniture in various places in the house. He also went to take a look in the utility room, where a lot of things had been added, including a new folding bed. All the rooms were more organized, and he could fully imagine how the owner of this place managed his life seriously.
He recalled the gravel path between the terraced fields and asked with a smile, "Were you the one who recommended walking on the gravel path to Glass?"
Gong Zhili nodded: "Yes, that can help her improve her sleep deprivation and poor sleep quality."
Geto Summer Oil: "Isn't Nitro staying up late, but not sleeping well?"
He hadn't noticed the difference between the two before.
Gong Zhili recalled: "Nanoko slept better at my place. She might be the kind of person who would be healed in a natural environment." She really slept a lot during those two days in the village.
Geto Suguru has already understood: because of the special nature of Nozomi's technique, she rarely has the opportunity to completely relax and fall into a deep sleep. That should be the source of her mental stress.
"You three each have your own problems," Gong Zhili said, "Your school, or rather the entire Jujutsu world, has treated you poorly."
One of them couldn't eat well, the other couldn't sleep well, and the only one who looked cheerful would occasionally reveal a very heavy expression. The more she saw this, the more time she had to spend every day thinking about how to give the twins a healthy education.
Geto Suguru was speechless.
Gong Zhili changed the subject: "So, did you bring the reward for the Curse Spirit Jade this time?"
Xia Yujie took out a card and said, "I've deposited money into this card. The password is *****. I'll transfer money to it later."
Gong Zhili held his forehead with his hand: "Card...where should I go to withdraw money?"
Geto Suguru: Oh no, I overlooked this point!
His face immediately showed the annoyance of "one mistake out of a hundred plans", and Gong Zhili comforted him: "Forget it, you don't have to charge me. You have to come and help me with the farm work during the busy farming season."
Geto: "I'm happy to be of service to you."
