Chapter 471 Two Moons Meet
Gu Jiayue didn't expect the original body to be so direct. She subconsciously sat up straight, and her fingertips even felt a little stiff.
It was like when she was a kid, secretly taking her grandmother's jewelry box and getting caught before she could put it back. The awkwardness and guilt made her voice soften. "Yes..." She paused, then added, "I'm sorry, I used your body without your permission. I..."
The original body sat on the edge of the bed, gently pinching the corner of his clothes with his fingers, and fell silent.
According to the information she had overheard before, she was already "dead" when this foreign soul entered.
How can you talk about "agree" or "disagree" with a dead person?
But on second thought, this body is hers. Even if she lost consciousness at the time, there should be an explanation for others living in her body.
She frowned, her mind a tangle of confusion, unable to make sense of it for a moment, and could only shake her head gently. "It's not important."
What's the point of dwelling on the past? Can he turn back time to two years ago?
She raised her head, a hint of curiosity in her eyes, and her tone softened. "My name is Gu Jiayue, everyone calls me Yue'er. What about you?"
"My name is Gu Jiayue too." The conscious Gu Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief. The lack of a quarrel or anger meant there was still a possibility of conversation and reconciliation. Her tone softened. "I was already over 30 when I came here, older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Sister Gu."
"Hello, Sister Gu!" Yue'er's cheeks flushed slightly.
She didn't expect that the soul that "occupied her body for two years" would be so gentle, not at all like the "invader" she had imagined.
She had also read picture books. The souls in those picture books that wanted to take over other people's bodies were all very vicious, and many times they would directly devour the original soul in the body.
But this foreign soul is very gentle. Maybe the truth is just as she said, and she has no choice?
Maybe you can choose to believe it? "Yue'er, I apologize to you again."
"I traveled to your body by accident. I was not prepared and I couldn't refuse."
She then briefly recounted the process of her journey through time after death.
No exaggeration, just the most real experience.
Yue'er listened attentively, her eyes sparkling, and she nodded slightly from time to time.
After Gu Jiayue finished speaking, she smiled and said, "Sister Gu, this is indeed not your fault. Not only do I not blame you, I also want to thank you. You have used my body to do so many meaningful things, and you have made decisions for me that I dared not make."
If she hadn't died, and the Marquis's wife asked her to return to the Marquis' Mansion to be the second lady, would she have refused as decisively as Sister Gu did and chosen to return to Taohua Village?
I'm afraid not.
She grew up in the Marquis' Mansion and had such deep feelings for the place that she couldn't leave freely.
But she also knew that staying in the Marquis' Mansion would only bring more troubles to this newly reunited family.
The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh, but partiality is inevitable. She couldn't guarantee that she would not feel resentful because the Marquis's wife favored Gu Wangshu, and do something that would make everyone regret it.
So Sister Gu’s choice to leave and let everything return to its original state is actually the best outcome.
Not to mention that Sister Gu also runs a school and grows crops in Taohua Village, bringing hope to the poor mountain village.
These are things she can't do.
Hearing the sincerity in Yue'er's tone, without a trace of resentment, Gu Jiayue's heart finally settled down.
This child is really kind and sensible.
"Sister Gu, then...we can't just keep going down there, right?" Yue'er said with a hint of worry in her tone, "Even though you're so kind, I don't want my every move to be watched by others."
She also has no hobby of eavesdropping on other people's conversations at any time.
Gu Jiayue really didn't know how to solve the problem of "two souls sharing one body".
Subconsciously, both of them turned their gazes to the still flickering ball of light deep in their consciousness.
The system froze instantly, and the light ball's flickering frequency became chaotic. "W-Why are you all looking at me? I...I don't know!"
It was spinning in circles in its consciousness.
I am just a lowest-level education system that has just been produced. The database has not even been unlocked. How would I understand this!
But the two people's gazes were so "penetrating", as if they could see through its ball of light.
The system had no choice but to compromise. "Okay, okay! You guys chat first, I'll go look through the database!"
It had previously integrated the system in Gu Yuchuan's body, and there were many packaged documents in the database, but they had never been sorted out in time, and they were piled up in the corner and collected dust.
I can only look through those messy data with the idea of "trying my luck".
It is a system without "human rights" after all, so we can only follow the host's requirements.
Seeing that the system's light ball finally "hid" in the corner and no longer made people dizzy, Yue'er and Gu Jiayue both breathed a sigh of relief.
He was so dazzling that it hurt my eyes.
"Yue'er, don't be afraid." Gu Jiayue's voice rang out again. "Tomorrow when we return to Taohua Village, I'll help you identify the people and tell you who is who. Let's not reveal any flaws and don't let our family worry."
She found that Yue'er seemed unable to recognize people and could not match names with their appearances.
Yue'er nodded quickly, her eyes brightening. "Okay! I thought so too! I was discussing with Jiang Shanchang whether to tell the truth, but I was always worried that they would worry. Now that Sister Gu is helping me, I'm not afraid anymore!"
The two of them discussed some details in detail to ensure that everything went smoothly.
Seeing that the sky outside the window was completely dark, Gu Jiayue urged Yue'er: "Hurry up and get some rest. You have to get up early to travel tomorrow. Don't overwork yourself."
No words were spoken that night.
The results of the college entrance examination would not be announced until a month later. The next morning, the students of Qiushi Academy packed their luggage and gathered at the door of the inn, chatting and laughing.
The carriages and horses had been prepared long ago, and a dozen ox carts parked side by side on the road looked very impressive.
"Let's go!" Gu Yuhe was the first to jump onto the carriage and waved to the students behind him.
The huge team drove towards Taohua Village, and the wheels rolled over the bluestone road, making a "gurgling" sound.
The moon was leaning against the carriage window, her eyes sparkling.
The scenery outside the window is completely different from Kyoto.
The wild grass on the roadside grew taller than the ankles, and occasionally mountain spring water flowed out from the cracks in the rocks, making a tinkling sound; in the distance, mountains were connected one after another, and the green shadows of the mountains were looming in the morning mist, and even the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees.
"There are so many high mountains here!" Yue'er couldn't help but sigh, tapping the car window lightly with her fingers.
"The southwest is already very mountainous." Jiang Luli sat beside her and followed her gaze. "South of Juzhou City, there's Wanfeng City. The mountains there are endless. I'll take you to see them next time I have the chance."
"And this water? Why is there mountain spring water everywhere? Can we drink it?" Yue'er asked again, pointing to the stream by the roadside.
Zheng Qinghe sat across from him and explained with a smile, "It's drinkable. The water quality in the southwest is good, and there are crystal clear streams everywhere. But before drinking, the people will twist a piece of straw into a ring and throw it into the water. If the straw ring doesn't sink to the bottom within a quarter of an hour, the water is clean and can be drunk directly."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of straw from the car window and demonstrated how to twist it into a ring with great skill.
"Look! Was that a hare that just ran past?" Yue'er suddenly pointed at the grass by the roadside, her eyes wide open.
"It's a wild rabbit." Jiang Luli nodded and added, "There are also pheasants nearby, and their feathers are very beautiful."
As the carriage passed a hillside covered with wildflowers, Yue'er stared at a purple flower on the edge of the cliff and whispered, "That flower is so beautiful. Can I have one?"
Jiang Luli was about to speak when Zheng Qinghe said, "I'll pick it for you."
"No need." Jiang Luli interrupted him and glanced at Zheng Qinghe. "Zheng County Magistrate is a weak scholar. The flower is growing on the edge of the cliff. You can't climb up. I'll go."
He got off the carriage swiftly, stepped on the stones on the roadside, climbed to the edge of the cliff in a few steps, picked the flower, patted the dirt off his body, and handed it back to Yue'er.
Zheng Qinghe pursed his lips and said nothing more, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
The two of them were like fighting roosters, competing openly and secretly to see who could make Yue'er happier.
Yue'er was completely unaware of the "undercurrent" between the two. She took the flower handed to her by Jiang Luli, put it to her nose and smelled it, then stuck her head out of the car window and continued to look around curiously.
"Wow! What is that yellow thing?" She pointed to the fields in the distance, her tone full of surprise.
The fields are full of golden flowers, like a layer of gold. When the wind blows, the sea of flowers will sway gently.
"It's rapeseed flowers," Zheng Qinghe said immediately, a hint of pride in his tone. "These were planted by me and the county officials and the people. The rapeseed flowers will bear fruit after they fade, and the fruits can be pressed into oil. The oil residue left over can be fed to pigs or buried in the ground to fertilize the fields. It's very useful."
When it comes to these things, he is much more familiar with them than Jiang Luli.
He watched these crops grow little by little, and he even remembered the row spacing for sowing and the time for fertilizing clearly.
Yue'er listened attentively and nodded repeatedly. "So rapeseed flowers are so useful! They're even more powerful than the peonies in Kyoto!"
Jiang Luli sat aside, looking at Yue'er's sparkling eyes, and stopped arguing with Zheng Qinghe.
