Chapter 701 Ancient Young General vs. Rich and Beautiful Lady 4
At dusk, Ji Yunhuan stretched and loosened her stiff arms and legs, and she actually fell asleep on the table in the garden.
She had suffered from insomnia for a long time, and this time she slept particularly soundly.
There was a faint floral scent lingering around my nose, mixed with a strange odor of incense. It was not a festival, and I didn't know who was worshiping their ancestors.
"Ah! Mirror!" Ji Yunhuan jumped up from the chair. The water pipe had stopped running, the ground was dry, and all the water was absorbed by the mirror.
Ji Yunhuan placed the mirror on the table. The mirror surface felt very smooth, but was covered with a light gray mist, like looking at flowers through the mist, and one could not see the human figure clearly.
Before, this bronze mirror had been placed on the antique shelf in the study. On the back was an exquisite picture of auspicious animals, flowers and birds. Ji Yunhuan had always thought it was an exquisite ornament. When he took it out of the box today, he found that it was a bronze mirror.
The phone screen flickered, and there were several missed calls, all from An Tong.
When the call was connected, An Tong's voice crackled, "My ancestor, what on earth are you doing? You didn't answer the phone, you didn't reply to WeChat, and no one answered the door. The property manager of the community couldn't find you, so he called me."
"What on earth are you doing? The property management said that your family uses several tons of water. I warn you, don't do anything stupid, or I won't let you go even if you go to hell!"
An Tong's tone was fierce, but Ji Yunhuan felt a warm feeling in his heart.
An Tong is her best friend. They have known each other since they were old enough to wear open-crotch pants, and now they have become like family.
After her parents died, her emergency contact was changed to An Tong.
There was once an incident of a homeowner committing suicide in the community. The owner filled the swimming pool with water, forgot to turn off the faucet, and was about to drown himself. Later, the property management noticed that there was something wrong with the water usage and saved a life.
With the lessons learned from the past, the property management is so nervous.
Ji Yunhuan quickly explained: "I'm fine, I just forgot to turn off the tap when watering the flowers, and I fell asleep just now, and my phone was muted."
An Tong breathed a sigh of relief, "You really scared me to death! I know you don't want to go out, but you can't miss your birthday. I'm on a business trip abroad and can't accompany you. I've ordered a birthday banquet for you at the Hanyuan Hotel, and a birthday cake. I think it will be delivered soon. Remember to open the door to get it."
"Eat well, sleep well, and when I come back and find you've lost weight, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
The property manager had already delivered the things to the door of the villa. Ji Yunhuan used a cart to push a table of packed dishes into the garden, as well as a three-layer birthday cake.
The table was piled high with food, but Ji Yunhuan had no appetite. He just cut off a small piece of cake and tasted it, muttering quietly, "There are so many, how can I finish them all by myself? What a waste, it would be nice if someone could eat with me."
There were originally many people in the house. There were three cleaning ladies alone, each responsible for a different area. There were also a housekeeper, a gardener, an organizer, a chef, a driver, a nutritionist, a bodyguard, etc., who all lived in a house next door. She gave them three months' extra salary and fired them all.
She knew they were all doing this for her own good; they kept the villa clean and tidy and put away her parents' belongings, hoping that she could start a new life. But she just wanted to restore her home to its original state and live a quiet life alone.
Suddenly there was a flash of white light and the cake disappeared!
Ripples appeared on the surface of the bronze mirror and soon returned to normal.
There was a line of green characters floating above the bronze mirror: Merit value: 2256, +1, +2, +2...
The green words kept jumping, and the merit value was getting higher and higher.
Ji Yunhuan reached out to touch it, and the green light passed through her hand, leaving only a line of phantoms. She patted her face and muttered, "Either I'm crazy, or the bronze mirror has become a spirit. It can actually eat cake!"
Ji Yunhuan placed a dish of four-happiness meatballs in front of the bronze mirror. "Do you eat meat?"
The four-happiness meatballs disappeared!
Then, sweet and sour spare ribs, steamed sea bass, pepper shrimp, braised pork, beggar's chicken, three fresh vegetables, boiled cabbage...all the dishes disappeared one by one.
Even the thermos containing rice disappeared.
"You really are not picky about food. What kind of spirit are you? A mirror spirit? How can you eat so much?"
Ji Yunhuan became interested. She wanted to see how much the mirror spirit could eat.
She carried the mirror to the storage room on the underground first floor, and what came into view was her father's collection of red wine, which filled up an entire wall, with more than a thousand bottles.
Strangely, she felt the bronze mirror stirring, as if she had a telepathic connection with it.
"Wait! This can't be eaten! I'll find you something that can fill your stomach."
During the three-year special period, my father organized a fleet of vehicles in the company to transport supplies to local residents free of charge. Naturally, our family also stockpiled a lot of food, which has not been eaten up yet.
Ji Yunhuan pushed open a door and saw a hundred bags of rice inside, each weighing ten kilograms, all of which were top-quality Northeastern rice.
I originally stockpiled so much because I was planning to give it to people working at home, but later they were not used and so they were left idle. Now they are just the right size to feed the bronze mirrors.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred bags of rice disappeared.
Ji Yunhuan felt a little tired. Going further in, there were boxes of compressed biscuits, instant noodles, sausages, pickled mustard tubers, various canned meats, canned fruits, and so on.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the world ends one day, Ji Yunhuan can live in the villa for a year without worrying about starving to death.
All the stock went into Bronze Mirror's stomach. After eating a room full of food, Bronze Mirror seemed very satisfied.
The merit points above my head were also rising rapidly.
Although he didn't know what the merit points were used for, it was like playing a game. Ji Yunhuan felt inexplicably happy when he saw the progress going up.
Ji Yunhuan yawned, feeling a little dizzy, hungry and sleepy.
The mirror spirit didn't leave any for her. Ji Yunhuan ordered takeout, ate and drank her fill, then fell asleep as soon as she got on the bed.

Before the shrine.
Huo Xiao knelt devoutly in front of the bronze mirror for a long time. The wound on his abdomen was aching slightly. The soldiers advised the young general to take a rest, thinking that perhaps the gods would not appear today.
"No!" Huo Xiao was very stubborn. "I have a feeling that the gods must still be here, and they will not abandon Pingyang City."
As soon as he finished speaking, a snow-white object floated out of the mirror and landed steadily on the ground.
It is shaped like a tall tower divided into three layers. The outer shell is as white as snow without a single flaw. It is dotted with flowers, and the petals are spread out in layers. I don't know what material they are made of, but they are elegant, ethereal, and lifelike.
Zhao Hai smelled a sweet scent and couldn't help but touch the white tower with his hand. It was fluffy and soft, like white clouds in the sky. He licked his fingers and the sweet taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue, stimulating his taste buds.
"Oh my god! It's sweet! It's sweet and soft. It really is a divine thing. The food that gods eat is really good. Even the emperor can't eat such sweet and white sugar!"
