Tang Baozhu and Li Jun traveled until they could no longer walk before returning to Qingshan Town. As they grew older, they decided to be buried there, since it was their ancestral home.
Tang Baozhu had a grave prepared in advance, right next to Tang Xiucai's grave, so that after she died, her body would be buried next to Tang Xiucai.
Li Jun didn't care where they were buried, but when he saw that his wife wanted to be buried next to her father-in-law, he agreed. After all, they were from the same village and close by, so burying them together didn't seem to be a problem.
At this time, the two sons and two sons-in-law were getting higher and higher in their official positions, but they and their wives were still living happily together. Seeing that the old couple were not in good health, they wanted to quit their jobs and come back to visit them and spend more time with them.
Tang Baozhu herself is over 80 years old, and her two sons are over 60. It would be appropriate for her to resign from her official post, as she is already quite old and it would be time for her to retire.
So they agreed to their resignation. The parents of the two sons-in-law had long since passed away, so they handed over the family affairs to their sons and came back directly afterward.
The eldest and second sons returned directly with their wives, but Tang Baozhu didn't agree to their return. Anyway, they weren't going to die immediately, so there was no need to rush and delay important matters. After all, they had climbed to such high positions, so it was impossible for them to suddenly ask for leave. How could officials in the court ask for leave so easily?
The only possibility is for them to resign directly like the eldest and second eldest sons, but they are so young, how could we bear to let them resign? That would ruin their lives.
After the children returned, they stayed in the old house. At this moment, they couldn't help but feel grateful that the old house was big enough to accommodate so many people in the family, not to mention so many servants.
Every day was lively and bustling, and Tang Baozhu didn't feel lonely at all. Everyone went back to their hometown, and about a year later, Tang Baozhu and Li Jun's health deteriorated.
Unexpectedly, Tang Baozhu's health was even worse. She was having a good chat with them during dinner that night, but she woke up to find herself back in the system space.
Without any warning, who knows if Li Jun will have a heart attack when he wakes up tomorrow morning and sees the person next to him dead?
He didn't have a heart attack from the fright, but in the middle of the night, Li Jun was suddenly awakened by a bad feeling. After waking up, he instinctively reached for his wife's hand, only to find it was already ice cold.
He was so old, what couldn't he understand? He was heartbroken. The girl he had loved since childhood, even after she became an old woman, he still loved her the same. Now she's gone too.
My heart ached so much that I was numb, and tears streamed down my face involuntarily. Perhaps I was too heartbroken, because I cried myself to sleep and never woke up again.
It wasn't until the next day that their children noticed something was wrong. After all, the elderly couple usually got up quite early, but this day it was so late and they still hadn't gotten out of bed. They felt something was amiss, and when they opened the door, they found the elderly couple lying stiffly on the bed.
When they were collecting the body, their hands were still tightly clasped together—or rather, Li Jun was holding Tang Baozhu's hand. They never separated, and no amount of prying could break them apart.
When they finally made the coffin, they made a big one, a double coffin, and put the old couple together.
****
When Tang Baozhu returned to the space, she was initially very upset. In her entire life, Li Jun had truly been incredibly devoted to her, and she was incredibly lucky to have met someone who loved her so much in every world.
Even though her relationship with Li Jun wasn't great at first, it gradually improved as they spent more time together. Since their relationship improved, she rarely even joined any red envelope groups anymore.
Even though she had forgotten her feelings for Brother Xu, she couldn't help but feel guilty towards him. She knew in her heart that she used to have a very good relationship with him, so in order not to upset Brother Xu, she rarely went in to chat.
"Welcome back, host. I am Little Deer."
Tang Baozhu remained silent for a while until the system erased her emotions from the small world, at which point the heavy feeling finally disappeared.
"Little Deer, can you locate Brother Xu's world? I want to go to Brother Xu's world in the next world. If I don't go, I will feel particularly guilty towards him and worry that it will affect my future missions."
The system was silent for a moment before saying, "We can locate the small world from the red envelope group. However, because that small world is a high-level world, it may take a little longer. Perhaps it will be located by the time the host returns."
In fact, the system, Little Deer, didn't know how long it would take to pinpoint the location. However, it would definitely do its best to complete the tasks assigned by its host and strive to successfully pinpoint the location by the time the host returned in the next world.
Tang Baozhu was unaware that the system was just giving her the runaround. The thought that she could go to Brother Xu's world after just one more world made her quite happy.
She's planning to go to the next world and won't use the red envelope group anymore, so he'll feel like he hasn't been reincarnated yet.
"Thank you, Little Deer. I'll wait for your good news. Now open the panel and show me the information."
Host: Tang Baozhu
Age: 25
Golden Finger: Cannon Fodder Red Envelope Group Wood-type Superpower (Wood Level) Small Space (Beginner)
Points: 4000
Skills: Medical Arts (Intermediate), Embroidery (Intermediate), Languages (Beginner)
Tang Baozhu took a look and saw that this task had earned her 1,000 more points and her embroidery skill had also leveled up. It seemed that diligent study and practice were indeed useful.
She did accumulate some merit, but not much, since she hadn't done many good deeds.
I checked the four red envelopes the group owner sent me. Including this world and the previous small world, there were four red envelopes in total. I opened them all and found that they were for upgrading the space.
After completing the mission in the last world, the group leader gave out red envelopes containing two medium-grade spirit orbs. Now, the group has collected the remaining three spirit orbs needed for the upgrade. In another red envelope, there is a white crystal ball-like object.
"Little Deer, what is this thing that looks like a white crystal ball? What is its purpose?"
Although she knew that everything the group owner gave her would be useful and exactly what she needed right now, she still had to ask to find out what it was for.
"Host, there is a spiritual spring in here. When the space is upgraded, upgrade this crystal ball as well. Then there will be another spiritual spring in the space. The spiritual spring water that comes out will have more spiritual energy than the river water with spiritual energy in the immortal realm."
