Chapter 613 The Passerby in the Fusion of the Urban World 2
When the natal Gu absorbed the heart's blood, snakes, scorpions, centipedes, spiders, and toads also crawled onto the table. However, under the intimidation of the Golden Silkworm Gu, they simply lay quietly to the side and did not make any further moves.
After absorbing the heart's blood, the natal Gu emitted a faint golden light. It slowly flew up, circled Jiang Yue once, as if expressing affection, and then climbed onto Jiang Yue's head to sleep. This was to absorb energy. Her natal Gu had not yet reached the first stage of transformation and had not opened a Gu house, so it could not be taken into her body and could only stay in the outside world.
However, the Golden Silkworm Gu is about to advance to the first stage. It is currently a mortal Gu and has not yet reached the extraordinary stage. Jiang Yue has not studied the Gu Dao before and dares not mess around recklessly. Once it reaches the extraordinary stage, she can try feeding it some pills or meat.
He glanced at the sleeping Golden Silkworm Gu, then at the few Five Poison Gu on the table, and then took out five small bowls to feed them some spirit beast meat. Since they weren't meant to be his natal Gu, it wouldn't matter if they died; he could just raise them again. This made him much less worried, unlike the Golden Silkworm Gu, which was extremely rare; you might not even be able to find a second one in the world.
After feeding the five poisonous creatures, Jiang Yue washed the small bowl and put it away. They used to share one bowl, but the cultivation speed had been a bit fast in the few days since Jiang Yue arrived. The six little creatures had all developed a little bit of spirituality and often fought when being fed. So Jiang Yue bought five more small bowls, so each of them could have their own and wouldn't have to fight anymore.
Looking at the empty house, Jiang Yue contacted the puppet and asked him to deliver the package. Since the courier service didn't deliver to the village, Jiang Yue had to ask the puppet to pick it up in the county. The puppet was very fast, and in less than an hour, two three-wheeled vehicles arrived in the village, carrying Jiang Yue's savings accumulated over the years.
When he found Jiang Yue's house, a crowd had gathered at the door. There was nothing new happening in the village, and after only half a day of Jiang Yue's return home, all sorts of speculations were flying around. Some said she had returned home dejected because she couldn't make a living, others said she had been abandoned by her man, and still others said she was pregnant with someone else's child. There were at least a dozen or twenty versions, if not a hundred or eighty.
After moving everything, Jiang Yue noticed there were still a few packages left. None of the names on the packages were Jiang Yue's. She looked at the puppet, which said, "These belong to other people in the village, so I brought them back."
"Oh, right? There's a bunch of people at the door, go ask them whose it is and deliver it to them."
"OK."
The puppet went out to deliver packages, and Jiang Yue started unpacking them. First, she took out the quilts and other things to air them out in the sun. Then came the cosmetics and other items. Actually, Jiang Yue didn't want these anymore, but her senior had helped her clean the house. They were quite expensive when she bought them, and it didn't make sense to suddenly throw them away, so Jiang Yue put them away.
After that, there were several large boxes filled with clothes I'd bought over the past few years. They were vacuum-packed before, so now I just need to unpack them and put them in the closet. The closet is a bit old though, but I'll buy a new one once the house is repaired. I'll make do with this for now.
The washing machine and refrigerator were also mailed back. Anyway, we've already mailed a lot of things, so these two won't make a difference. They're all only a few years old. There were also some other appliances, such as a kettle, an oven, an induction cooker, pots and pans. It took three hours just to pack everything up.
When it was time to eat, the people at the door dispersed. Jiang Yue closed the door and went out. Then she took out a puppet and started tidying up the things. She went to the kitchen to prepare a meal. Fortunately, the power cord was fine. She could manage to cook a meal if she persevered. The earthen stove was broken and unusable long ago.
When she came out with a plate of mint-fried pork ribs, the puppet had already tidied up the things in the house, which looked much more comfortable now. After dinner, she thought about the house repair. The house couldn't be repaired for a while because the road was impassable and large machinery couldn't get in. Getting the building materials in was also a problem.
It's the rainy season now, and the road is impassable when it rains, let alone for trucks carrying goods. If it were just a simple repair, it would be fine; she could just find a small tricycle to slowly haul it away. But Jiang Yue wanted to fix it properly, thinking about opening a guesthouse or something in the future, so she could have some income and stay home in peace. As for whether or not she would receive guests, that was entirely up to her.
I thought about what my aunt said about not having enough money for the road repair. I'll ask her about it tomorrow when I check if the houses next door are for sale. I'll see how much they still need. If it's tens of thousands of yuan, I can contribute some. I won't say it's for the convenience of the villagers, but I'll just say that I'll be staying here permanently. That way, the road will be easier to travel on after it's repaired. If we don't take advantage of the village-to-village road construction, we don't know when the next road repair will be done.
After all, although Jiang Yue's small village is on a hillside, the road leading into the village is relatively flat, and the slope into the village is not steep, so it is not difficult to build. The problem is that there are too few people in the village, and many people work outside all year round and do not come home. It is not an easy task to raise funds. Moreover, building a road will definitely take up the adjacent farmland. I don't know if this aspect has been agreed upon.
Since the house can't be repaired in a short time, it can remain untouched for now. The yard needs some tidying up. Although the weeds have all been pulled out, they're still quite bumpy because of them. Jiang Yue doesn't even want to think about what it will look like when it rains. She can only haul some stones or bricks to pave a path for now.
There's also the collapsed courtyard wall that needs to be repaired, and the gate needs to be replaced. There's quite a lot to do. After taking out the printer, Jiang Yue asked Bai Ze to design several plans. In the end, she chose one that she liked. Of course, she also anticipated the possibility that she wouldn't be able to buy the one from the neighboring courtyard. She prepared one large plan and one small plan.
After releasing the Wizard Tower, some decoration materials can be prepared. The current decoration market is a mixed bag, so she doesn't plan to hire anyone to build and decorate the house this time. She plans to leave everything to the puppet, and she will also get the decoration materials herself. This way, she can save time and avoid disputes.
Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Yue went to sleep. The next day, after getting up, she did some exercise. These past few days, she had been taking medicine to feed the Gu worms, so she had a bit of high energy and needed to expend it. After practicing a set of punches, she fed the Golden Silkworm Gu. This little guy was close to its transformation and needed a drop of heart's blood every day. Fortunately, it was estimated that it would break through today.
Jiang Yue took out some spirit stones from her spatial storage. She didn't dare take the best ones yet, otherwise she was afraid the spirit stone would become too strong. After the spirit stone fell into a deep sleep, Jiang Yue put the little thing into its 'eating' bowl. At this moment, the Five Poison Gu next to her began to stir. Jiang Yue fed it blood and took out some spirit stones to distribute to everyone, emphasizing fairness.
After finishing, she put them all in the bedroom and sent a puppet to guard them. She had to go out today, and the Golden Silkworm Gu's evolution was in the next couple of days, so she left a puppet to guard them. She also left some pills and spirit stones as a precaution.
