Yi Yami returned home, said hello to Old Lady Yi and He Huaizhu, then went into her room and bolted the door.
Lying on the bed, my heart moved freely and entered the hairpin.
"My dear ancestor! What a great job you arranged for me! I'm really impressed! I wasn't tired when I went to sell food to people. But I'm really exhausted from having a war of words with those brainless villagers. I have no energy left!" Yi Yami started shouting without caring whether Ancestor Yi could hear her or not.
No one responded for a long time.
She dragged her tired body to the fountain of youth and scooped up a bucket of water to drink, and only then did her spirits return.
"I'm really impressed. How come the people in this village have no manners at all? Why do they all like to morally blackmail others?" Yiyami shouted.
She was almost suffocating, but luckily she had a hairpin so she could scream as much as she wanted in it without worrying about anyone hearing her.
She was lying on the grass beside the Fountain of Youth and looking up. Suddenly she found that the five-flavor tree next door had five huge fruits. They were super big fruits.
"Oh my god, such a big fruit! What will happen if I pick it?" Yiyami exclaimed with wide eyes.
"And there are exactly five flavors! But why does this fruit look more and more like a person?" She tilted her head and twisted her body, trying to look at it backwards.
The five-flavor fruit hangs on the tree like an upside-down baby.
The voice of Yi Laozu came from the air, "Miwazi, this is a reward for you, the Five Flavor Fruit Doll."
"Huh?" Yiyami was surprised. "Grandpa, where are you? The job you gave me is not easy at all! Not only do I have to face the guests, but I also have to face the brainless villagers. It's so annoying!" Yiyami shouted with his head raised.
"Stop shouting, I heard everything. I saw you teach another two families and introduce new delicacies. And then you met those villagers again. I saw it all and told you, I am watching you from the sky! So, I know you are working hard. These five-flavor fruit dolls will ripen in a while. When they fall to the ground, they will turn into human form. After they turn into human form, you can arrange them to work, which will make things a lot easier for you." Patriarch Yi explained helplessly.
"Ancestor, do they have any other functions?" Yi Yami asked with a smile on her face and a sly look.
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. You will have to figure it out on your own when the time comes! I have a task for you." Old Ancestor Yi asked in a riddle and spoke lightly.
"Huh? Again? Last time you told me to bring our Yi family's delicacies to benefit the people of Yinwei Country and let everyone know the name of our Yi family. I haven't completed it yet! Why is there another task? My ancestors!" Yi Yami complained.
"Stop yelling. You're giving me a headache every day! It's just a very small task." Old Ancestor Yi tried to coax her.
"Okay? You tell me first, let me see what the task is, and then I'll decide whether to accept it or not." Yiyami said with his hands folded.
"Didn't I tell you before that I made a bet with another old man?" Old Ancestor Yi began to mutter.
"Yes, I remember there was such a thing." Yi Yami listened carefully and nodded.
"This old man is my mortal enemy. He and I have been at odds for many years. He has wanted to suppress me for more than just one or two years. I made a bet with him that my descendants did not embarrass me, but he did not believe it. After he knew that I summoned you to this country, he also took some measures." Patriarch Yi spoke slowly.
"What measures?" Yiyami ate melon.
"It's hard to say, but what I know now is that this old man has some bad intentions. I, your ancestor, can be considered a positive character. You can understand him as a person who is both good and evil. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what's going on in his mind, and he often does things that hurt other living beings." Ancestor Yi sighed.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Yiyami asked in confusion.
"It's very simple. If there is any unusual movement in the human world, such as natural disasters, floods, famines and other serious disasters, you have to write down the details of what happened on the fifth book on the top shelf of the bookshelf in the room inside this hairpin. In this way, I can know and tell you the solution. Of course, don't write to me unless you have nothing to do! I don't have time to care about you!" Patriarch Yi said seriously.
"Okay, I understand, Grandpa!" Yi Yami nodded, his eyes rolling, "Grandpa, what's in it for me?"
"Can you please stop being so snobbish, girl? You want benefits in everything you do!" Old Ancestor Yi said helplessly.
"Ancestors, people say that people die for money and birds die for food. This is just human nature." Yiyami curled his lips and looked to the other side cleverly.
"You're still asking for favors from me! I haven't settled the score with you yet! Look how much water you've used from my Fountain of Youth!? Ah, you say?" Old Ancestor Yi was furious when he saw that the Fountain of Youth was missing a whole circle.
"Oh, I didn't use much... I just come in and drink a big ladle of it when I'm tired every day... and drop one or two drops into the food when I go out to work every day. It's just that I've been dropping more recently, just one extra drop..." Yiyami looked at her toes guiltily.
After hearing this, Patriarch Yi felt his heart bleed. He held his forehead and said, "You should be thankful that you are my descendant and have my blood in your body... Otherwise, if you drink a scoop every day, not to mention every day, even if you drink a scoop every day, you will explode and die..."
"Wow, it's so serious! No wonder I said that every time I drink water I feel much better, as if I took stimulants." Yiyami was surprised.
"Fools have their own luck. Don't drink so much next time. Drinking too much is not so good for you. Your body is still a mortal body and can't withstand too much force. Dropping one or two drops into the food like you did will not have much impact. At most, it will improve the physical fitness of those people. It is their blessing to meet you." Ancestor Yi sighed.
"This fountain of youth, ancestor, won't dry up, right?" Yi Yami asked as he saw that the fountain of youth was indeed obviously missing.
"It won't dry up, but the more you drink, the less it gets. This Fountain of Youth is very difficult to collect. It is your ancestor who has to go to the top of Wuji Mountain every day to collect the dew that absorbs the essence of the sun, moon and the sky. You don't know how many snow-capped mountains I have to run to collect such a small sip. But you, on the other hand, drink up a big scoop every time." Ancestor Yi felt his heart bleeding.
Yi Yami knew that he had made a fortune, so he humbly accepted the advice and did not dare to speak.
"Forget it, just drink it. I won't bother with a little kid like you. Just do your job well for me, do you hear me? Don't embarrass me!" Old Ancestor Yi sighed and said.
"Okay, I promise to complete the task!" Yiyami nodded.
Yi Yami glanced at the five-flavor fruit dolls and gently stroked them. "Grow up sweetly! I'll be waiting for you!"
The five-flavor fruit dolls fluttered in the wind, making tinkling sounds, as if responding to her.
Yi Yami put away the hairpin and returned to her room, then she heard someone knocking on the door.
"Coming." Yi Yami stood up.
