Chapter 294 Salt Again
Gu Qingcheng once again lived to be over ninety years old and died of old age.
At the moment when life completely disappeared, prompt sounds rang out from the depths of the sea of consciousness.
"Ding! The mission is rated 'perfect' and you get 4 times the points."
"Ding! Receive a blessing."
"Ding! Gained 163 points of merit. The total merit of this mission is 1295 points."
Gu Qingcheng's soul returned to the system space, and the disaster was already rolling over happily.
"Welcome to Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven!"
It was probably because Gu Qingcheng’s performance this time was very good, and Huoshui, who was able to get a higher reward, was also excited.
While being happy, the little idiot has already started to show off.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, you are so amazing!"
"The wisher is really, really, really pleased with you!"
The mission was given a rating of "perfect", which is quite telling.
This is the highest rating and the reward is generous, with a full 4 points.
"Four points?"
Gu Qingcheng nodded with satisfaction, "Then add it all to your appearance."
Her appearance already has 61 points, and with an additional 4 points, she is slightly better than the average person.
It is an appearance that can be called delicate and pretty.
If she dresses up carefully, coupled with her temperament and aura, she will basically have the feeling of "a person of culture and elegance".
"Ah? It's all about appearance!"
"Your Majesty, are you really not going to consider improving your character?"
If your character value is too low, it is very easy to match yourself with the character of an extreme villain and face the strange tasks they propose.
Moreover, there is a relatively high probability that—
Ahem, I can’t say!
It cannot be said now.
Every time Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven completes a task, she will rest for a long time.
If it tells you about the "difficulties" that may be encountered in the next mission, Her Majesty the Queen will have more reason to postpone the mission.
After all, the current Queen Mother has gotten rid of her ugliness and doesn't seem to be so concerned about her appearance anymore.
Gu Qingcheng still didn't say anything, just looked at the disaster quietly.
Huoshui suddenly felt an invisible pressure. He shook off the fur on his body and said helplessly, "Okay! Okay! Got it!"
The disaster began to take place.
Gu Qingcheng's personal attribute values have been updated.
She opened her personal panel:
Appearance: 65 points.
IQ: 96 points.
Character value: 57 points.
Physical strength: 75 points.
Grid Space: Blessing (2).
Merit: 1295 points.
Gu Qingcheng became more and more satisfied.
Pull the soul out of the system space and return to this world.
It’s still that small fishing village.
The new house has not been built yet, it is just a sketch.
Gu Qingcheng's family temporarily rented a few courtyards in the fishing village.
There were originally about ten households in the small fishing village.
However, in the hurricane season that just ended, fishing villages adjacent to the sea were the hardest hit areas.
The village was in ruins, and the villagers either fled inland for shelter or were swept away by the hurricane.
The remaining houses are basically empty.
After Gu Qingcheng and his party arrived at the fishing village, they asked their soldiers and rangers to simply repair the ownerless houses and temporarily live there.
"Ah Qing, this beach doesn't seem very safe!"
Gu Heng turned around.
I was shocked to see the post-disaster scene with collapsed houses and uprooted trees.
Although he had been to Lingnan, Lingnan is actually very large, and not all of its prefectures and counties are by the sea.
Some are very landlocked in the southwest.
Even in Naju, there is only this coastal area.
When Gu Heng was the Minister of the Central Secretariat, he did receive memorials from local officials in the coastal areas that mentioned the word "hurricane".
However, the words "blowing sand, uprooting trees, and flying tiles on roofs" written in the memorial are just pale words. Only by experiencing it personally can you know how terrible a hurricane is.
This is a very terrible natural disaster!
Wherever it passed, houses collapsed, fertile fields were damaged, people and animals were killed, and the land was razed to the ground.
Gu Heng did not experience the hurricane in person, but he saw the tragic scene after the hurricane.
The small fishing village was in a mess. After the sea water receded, there were still many "remains" on the beach.
"Aunt is right, my granddaughter takes it for granted!"
The time and space they were in was not the later age, so there were no such solid buildings.
In fact, even in later generations, there is nothing we can do to deal with those hurricanes.
In the face of a real natural disaster, humans are still so insignificant!
The originally chosen address for building the house is no longer usable and must be moved back to a safe distance from the beach.
Gu Qingcheng realized her shortcomings and began to find ways to deal with them.
Anyway, this huge piece of land, as well as the mountain next to it, were all bought by Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng can build the house anywhere she wants.
In addition to relocating, the fishing villages also need to be dealt with after the disaster.
For example, the wreckage -
"Burn them all!"
Gu Qingcheng said with a sigh.
Although the ancients emphasized "resting in peace".
But cremation still exists.
Just like on the battlefield, it is impossible to collect and bury the bodies, so the only thing to do is to cremate the bodies of the comrades and take their ashes back.
There are also many people who died in a foreign land, because the journey was too long, the weather was too hot, or their families were poor, and in the end they could only bring back a jar of ashes.
"After a great disaster there will be a great plague. These corpses have been in the water for so long that some of them have already rotted and become smelly!"
The modern small world that Gu Qingcheng experienced had her memory erased.
But she has "common sense".
So, she knew that these bodies must be cremated!
“After a great disaster there must be a great epidemic?”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After listening to his granddaughter's words, Gu Heng thought carefully and found that there were indeed similar situations in the memorials he had seen and the government affairs he had handled.
At first it was just considered a "punishment from God", but now it seems that it is a law that can be changed artificially!
Gu Heng once again felt that his little granddaughter was smart enough.
She is only six years old, but she already has such insights.
Moreover, I don’t know if it’s an illusion or the climate and soil of Lingnan are suitable for my granddaughter’s horoscope, but since she set out on the journey to Lingnan, my granddaughter has become more and more beautiful.
Especially after arriving in Naju, the little granddaughter's eyebrows and eyes "grew" and her skin became whiter.
Between their eyebrows, they look more and more like their son and daughter-in-law.
In fact, it was similar in the past.
only--
To be specific, my son has almond-shaped eyes and my daughter-in-law has almond-shaped eyes.
The little granddaughter looks like both her son and her daughter-in-law, with the result that one of her eyes is bigger and the other is smaller.
Now, both eyes are the same size, and both are beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
I'm going to say something that may make my little granddaughter sad. Her appearance combines the characteristics of her parents, but it's half and half.
Such a result is really not good looking.
Coupled with her slightly dark skin, the little girl seems to be a plain girl.
Fortunately, they came to Lingnan, and fortunately, the little granddaughter has grown up.
Gu Heng is a truly learned man, so he naturally wouldn't care superficially about the good or bad of appearance.
But, this is the way the world works—
Only those with a huge fortune are qualified to treat money as dirt; only those with noble birth are able to be otherworldly and detached from the mundane world; only those with outstanding looks can say, "It's just a piece of rotten skin."
Otherwise, it's like talking without any pain, or saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them! Gu Heng, Gu Yi and others all understood these principles, so they never talked about appearance in front of Gu Qingcheng.
They would only let Gu Qingcheng read more, understand more, enrich herself with her knowledge, and try not to care about external things.
But does not caring about it mean it doesn’t exist?
Not to mention women, even for men who become officials, appearance is very important.
It’s not just a plus, it’s a necessity.
If someone has outstanding talents but an ugly appearance and a vulgar temperament, Shangguan will be the first to reject him.
This is true for men, not to mention women.
A woman may not be beautiful, after all, “marry a virtuous woman”.
But it can't be too ugly.
The most vivid mark left by Queen Xuan of Qi in history books is not her talent, but the word "ugly"!
If possible, Gu Heng also hopes that his granddaughter will not become famous because of her appearance.
It’s good now. The little girl is not very beautiful, but she is not ugly anymore!
"Okay! I'll leave all the household affairs to you. Ah Qing, just do what you want!"
Gu Heng calmed his mind and said to Gu Qingcheng with a smile.
"Yes! Aong!"
Gu Qingcheng was very happy to receive recognition and respect from her elders.
No matter how glorious her past life was, no matter how bloody her mission world was, in reality, she was just a six-year-old girl.
The fact that the elders value her so much is the greatest compliment to her.
There were bonfires set up on the beach.
The corpses were burned and collected one by one.
Gu Qingcheng ordered people to buy many pottery jars, collect the ashes of each corpse, and bury them together on the hill on the other side.
The remaining people in the small fishing village returned one after another.
They live by the sea all year round and are used to it.
When a hurricane came, they ran to nearby caves, and if conditions allowed, they went to the county town or provincial capital.
When the hurricane passes, they come back.
The house collapsed?
Then rebuild!
On both sides are relatively simple thatched huts or wooden houses.
With the help of neighbors, the repair was completed in a day or two.
Then, continue with your day-to-day life.
It's not that I'm numb, but living by the sea is what you'll experience.
Apart from the local indigenous people, most of these villagers are exiled prisoners or their descendants.
Their household registration is here, unless they want to escape to the mountains and become savages, or become an illegal resident.
But, is it so easy to be a savage or an illegal resident? This is Lingnan, still an undeveloped wild land.
There was miasma that made people shudder at the mere mention of it, and there were snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere in the mountains.
Not to mention wild beasts, in the wild, just a mosquito can make people want to die!
Although the small fishing village often encounters disasters, it is a place where serious human beings live.
Not to mention, you can fish, collect pearls, and boil salt by the sea...life can always go on!
Cook and salt?
After the small fishing village returned to normal life, Gu Qingcheng discovered the "activities" carried out by the village chief while strolling on the beach.
Then, Gu Qingcheng smiled.
How could she forget such an important thing?
PS: Thank you for the reward from Xuhui, thank you for the monthly tickets, and thank you for your support!
