Chapter 330
Although Yuan Jing did not mention the existence of System Xiaowu, Jian Hui could guess that there was something taking Yuan Jing to different worlds to complete tasks. However, their current strength was too weak to do anything about that thing. At least for now, that thing did not have any adverse effects on Yuan Jing.
A strong desire arose in his heart, hoping that in the future he would not lose his current memory, and that he could fight side by side with Yuan Jing. One day, he would be able to solve all the puzzles.
In Yuan Jing's mind, the system gave an echo: "Yes, host, the world consciousness is still asleep, what do you want to do?"
Yuan Jing asked: "I want to know why the world consciousness has weakened to the point where it needs to sleep? Is it related to the changes in Xuankun Continent? Is there any way we can help it?"
Xiaowu: "Okay, I'll try to communicate with it."
Yuan Jing took Jian Hui to find a place to sit down, quietly waiting for the result of Xiao Wu's communication with the world consciousness.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Wu's voice sounded in Yuan Jing's mind: "I tried to awaken the world consciousness and barely communicated with it. The host was right. The world consciousness is weakening because of another world consciousness. It needs help and a lot of merit to revive it. Please use your discretion, host."
Yuan Jing frowned slightly: "How much merit is required?"
Xiao Wu communicated with the other party again, and then replied: "It requires half of the host's merit."
Yuan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would need to give away all his merits. In that case, he would need to think carefully because he was worried that it would affect the missions in the future world. It was only half, and he could earn it back later.
"Okay, I am willing to donate half of my merit to the world consciousness, and I hope it can recover as soon as possible."
After traveling through several worlds, Yuan Jing was worried that if the world consciousness could not be restored, the development of this world would not continue in such a benign way. He was worried that it would suddenly collapse halfway through the progress, and then all the previous efforts would be in vain.
"Okay, host."
Yuan Jing clearly felt his body lighten, as if something was leaving him. He used his divine eye to look at himself and found that the golden light of merit on his body had indeed been reduced by half. However, it still did not prevent him from being a little golden man in the eyes of others. He patted his butt and stood up with relief, pulling the worried Jian Hui down the mountain together, and talked about what had just happened as they walked.
Jian Hui was worried after hearing this: "Half of the merits? Do you need so much? Can't I give away my merits?"
Yuan Jing stopped and looked at Jian Hui, then suddenly laughed: "Don't worry, even if I have only half left, I still have more than you. I don't want to leave, so you can carry me."
As he said that, he jumped onto Jian Hui's back. Jian Hui showed a helpless and doting look on his face. He quickly held the person behind him with his hands and said, "Next time you want to give me something, you have to discuss it with me. If it's too much, don't agree to it. Got it?"
He was always worried about Yuan Jing's things. This time he wanted merit, what would he want next time? He couldn't be too unreasonable.
"I know, butler..." Yuan Jing stretched out his voice and pinched Jian Hui's ear.
Jian Hui could only pat him on the butt and tell him to be honest and remember his words. Although he had a strong desire, he was also worried that he would not be able to remember his current memories in the next life and the next life, and would not be able to remind this person in time.
Yuan Jing took Jian Hui's words to heart, as this was his lover's concern for him.
Next, he only needed to wait for the news from the world consciousness. This was much more convenient than blindly searching for Xuankun Continent. At present, it seemed that the spiritual energy recovery of the Earth was entirely brought about by Xuankun Continent. So, was the world consciousness of Xuankun Continent still there? Was it malicious or kind to the Earth? The answer in Yuan Jing's mind was not biased towards kindness.
Before meeting anyone else, Yuan Jing got off Jian Hui's back. Jian Hui was a little disappointed because he really wanted to carry his lover all the way back home.
Just as they were about to greet the villagers they met, they were stopped by the villagers and said, "Go home quickly. Yan Jiabao and Jian Shoufa have returned to our village together."
"He's out of jail?"
"What did Jian Shou send it back for?"
"Yan Jiabao has been released from prison. Jian Shoufa is not sure. I suspect he may have heard about you, Jian Hui, and came back. Jian Hui, be careful. Your stepfather is not a good person."
"Thank you, uncle. I understand. Let's go back first."
The two men waved goodbye to the uncle from the village and rushed home. They looked at each other. This news was a bit disappointing for them. In fact, Yan Jiabao was easy to deal with. After all, he was only Yuan Jing's cousin and not his biological brother. Yuan Jing's family did not have any responsibilities or obligations to them. The trouble was Jian Shoufa on Jian Hui's side.
Yan Jiabao was finally released from prison, but to his disappointment no one in his family remembered the time of his release and came to pick him up. But he had to rush home alone. On the way, he met Jian Shoufa. During the conversation, he learned about the changes in Yanjia Village and the situation of his second uncle's family. The poplar tree that he looked down upon before, no, is now called cypress tree. His father is actually a high-ranking official in the imperial capital, and he has several brothers and sisters in the family, all of whom are very capable.
Yan Jiabao didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed. Why was he his second uncle? If his father had such a noble relative, why would he have to go to jail?
But he has always known that the relationship between his family and his second uncle's family is not harmonious. If his second uncle had not agreed to help him pay the bride price, he might not have been arrested. He should have been busy with his marriage at that time, instead of running off to play with others in a fit of irritability, which ended up putting himself in jail.
How could he benefit from the good life of his second uncle? He was not optimistic at all. When he walked into Yanjia Village with Jian Shoufa, he could not believe what he saw. He thought he had left the village for 10 or 20 years. Otherwise, why was the village so unfamiliar? This is more beautiful than the houses in the county town.
It was the person who initially recognized Yan Jiabao who sent him home, because a new house had been built and without anyone to take Yan Jiabao to, he had no idea where the new home was.
At first, Grandpa Yan and Yan Changhai were also tempted to sell their shares and move to the city to become city dwellers. Unfortunately, Yan Jiagen and his wife were only interested in clinging to their second uncle. Can city dwellers cling to a thigh as thick as a cypress tree?
Since they tried hard to curry favor with their uncle, their relationship with his family has improved a lot. Because of their firm opposition and the birth of their grandson, Yan Changhai had to give up his life in the city and stay in Yanjia Village. Now he is feeling proud and fortunately he did not leave. However, he also feels a little regretful that their family owns less shares than others, and Yan Changjiang does not know how to help his own family at all.
But who made them not believe in the cooperative in the first place? They thought they were smart, but it turned out that they were the dumbest.
Seeing Yan Jiabao coming back, the whole family surrounded him and burst into tears. Of course, this did not include Yan Jiagen and his wife. They were living a very comfortable life now and did not want Yan Jiabao to come back at all. Yan Jiabao was a lazy person who would only hold them back.
Yan Jiagen and his wife looked at each other and made a unanimous decision to split up the family. They had to split up this time. They didn't want to be dragged down by Yan Jiabao.
Jian Shoufa was surrounded by people, who asked him why he came back. They said there was no place for him in the village and he was no longer considered a member of Yanjia Village.
"Oh, I heard that Jian Hui is back. His father was worried and asked me to come and see him. How unfilial of a child. He left for several years without any news. Now he is back, and his father can finally rest assured."
Sure enough, they came for Jian Hui. Ugh! What a wishful thinking. Does Jian Hui's current achievements have anything to do with their Jian family?
"Jian Shoufa, you are too shameless. We all remember how you treated Jian Hui. Don't say that you raised him. The work Jian Hui does is enough to support himself."
"That's right. Back then, that child was treated like a slave in your Jian family. Now you have the nerve to come back and recognize him. You are just trying to pick ready-made fruits."
"Don't come into our Yanjia Village in the future. We don't welcome you in Yanjia Village."
All the villagers stood on Jian Hui's side, including the elderly people with more conservative ideas, because Jian Hui was such a good kid. There were wide roads outside, a primary school built in the village, and a beautiful office building. Jian Hui did not ask the village for a penny. He paid for it all out of his own pocket. If they forced him to return to the Jian family, wouldn't that be ungrateful? They couldn't be so heartless.
This child is nostalgic and grateful, so after he went out and made a lot of money, he came back to repay the village, but what kindness did the Jian family have to him? It's no wonder that Jian Hui forgot about this family and didn't care about them.
Jian Shoufa's forehead veins jumped when he heard this. If he had been in the past, he would have quarreled with these people. He was very angry. That damn boy made a fortune outside, but he hid it from them and didn't show any filial piety to them. Instead, he spent so much money on the village.
Before they knew the identity of Jinghui's boss, they laughed at him behind his back, saying that he was a big fool and that this big boss was stupid but had a lot of money.
This time they became city dwellers as they wished, and felt superior to the people in Yanjia Village. But at this moment, someone told them that the big boss behind Jinghui was actually Jian Hui from their family. The Jian family was all shocked, and then they closed the door and cursed this unfilial son. Thinking of how much money was spent on Yanjia Village, they felt heartbroken. They regarded the money as their own. Shouldn't the money earned by Jian Hui be handed over to them?
Yes, we also need to let Jian Hui arrange his younger brothers to work in his factory, yes, to make them managers or something, and we also need to keep the money in the future, we can’t let others with lots of money build roads and schools, wouldn’t it be better to use the money to live a comfortable life?
But they can't get angry now, they have to get that damn kid Jian Hui back first.
Seeing Yan Changjiang appear, Jian Shoufa quickly pushed aside the people around him, smiled and stretched out his hands to shake hands: "Oh, my relatives, Jian Hui's child made you worry. I never thought that our two families would become relatives."
