Chapter 29: Spiritual Spring Water!
I couldn’t think of anything else to buy for the time being, so I just went back to the village.
In the blink of an eye, the day of gathering arrived. In the early morning before dawn, Wu Yuetang quietly went out, found a secluded corner, and pulled the carriage out of the space. Sure enough, the horse was chewing hay in its mouth with relish. When it opened its eyes, it found that the environment in front of it had changed again, and it couldn't help rolling its eyes at Wu Yuetang.
"Hey, are you really a spirit? You roll your eyes at me."
Wu Yuetang couldn't help but pat the horse's butt lightly, scolding with a smile.
When she appeared at the door of the Wu family pulling a carriage, the whole family was dumbfounded again. In this short month, the family was dumbfounded again and again. When did this little sister become so powerful that she could find everything.
"Girl, where did you get this carriage?"
Wu Shoutian walked forward with a look of surprise, and touched the front and back of the horse, looking very curious.
"I ordered this carriage the last time I went to town, and I got up early this morning to pick it up."
"Oh, this carriage must have cost a lot of money. Did you spend all the money you earned digging herbs in the mountains?"
Mrs. Li felt very distressed, but when she looked back at the bags carrying her sons, she felt that buying a carriage was the right decision.
"Oh, mother, money is meant to be spent. You see, money is something you can't bring with you when you are born, and you can't take it with you when you die. Why not live a better life? Besides, I went hunting in the mountains with Ye Jingchen a while ago, and I dug up a hundred-year-old wild ginseng. I sold it in town for several hundred taels of silver. We can afford this carriage."
Hearing Wu Yuetang say this, Li's heart was relieved. She didn't ask how much silver was left. Even if she really asked, she might not tell her.
"Come, big brother and second brother, put your bags in the carriage, and big sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, too. Don't carry anything in your hands, just take your water bag. Third brother, put the rations on your shoulder in too."
Under Wu Yuetang's direction, the family bustled around to stuff all the luggage into the carriage. The carriage turned out to be unexpectedly large. With so much luggage in it, there was still room for two or three people to sit.
Little did they know that when they were putting their things away, Wu Yuetang had secretly thrown some of them into the space, otherwise the carriage would definitely not be able to fit them all.
"This way we can take turns riding in the carriage on the way, and it can also save some energy."
Then he forced his parents into the carriage. Wu Zhiyun led the horse, and his eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, and Wu Yuetang walked beside the carriage.
When they arrived at the gathering point, everyone was amazed by the Wu family's luxurious carriage.
"Hey, whose carriage is this?"
"Look, Wu Lao San is leading the horse. It must be theirs."
"When did his family buy the carriage? I've only heard that the village chief's family has an ox cart, how come there's also a horse carriage?"
"Don't you see how capable her daughter is? Not only can she cook, but she also knows about medicinal herbs. How can she not live a good life?"
"Didn't Tang know how to do anything before? How come she's so capable all of a sudden?"
"That's called hiding one's abilities. Unlike you, you can't wait to show off your abilities. Otherwise, the Wu family wouldn't be able to live a good life."
There were many different opinions at once, and the words were full of jealousy, and it was unclear what was good and what was bad. Wu Yuetang frowned and didn't want to care too much.
"Tang girl, your family left a bowl at our house."
Aunt Liu from the neighboring household ran over with a bowl in her hand, took Wu Yuetang's hand, and stuffed the bowl into her hand.
"Oh, look at my memory. I even forgot to get the bowl."
Wu Yuetang had a very good impression of Aunt Liu. She was kind and polite, and never gossiped. It was very comfortable to get along with such a person.
"It's okay. We can't throw it away. But girl, your cooking skills are really good. The dish is really delicious. Our grandson loves it."
"Okay, I'll cook and bring you another bowl someday."
The two exchanged greetings for a while under the heated gazes of the crowd, and then the village chief arrived.
The village chief drove a bullock cart to the crowd and counted the number of people. There were exactly 102 people from 12 households.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's set off. The sooner we set off, the sooner we'll reach our destination. Horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts will go in front, wooden carts will go behind, and people will go in the middle. The strong laborers will go on both sides of the team to protect everyone. Let's set off when we're ready!"
After that, a group of people followed the village chief and started moving. The Wu family had the only carriage in the village, so they followed behind the village chief. The team was not moving very fast, but a few people could keep up with it.
After walking for about an hour, they arrived at the gate of Qingshi Town. Wu Yuetang walked into the town and took a look. The once prosperous market was now desolate and miserable.
All the shop doors were closed, and even the roadside stalls were swaying from side to side in the cool breeze.
The village chief meant to wait here for the villagers who were hiking behind, and after everyone arrived and had a short rest, they could set off.
Li and Wu Shoutian also hurried out of the carriage and insisted that Wu Yuetang and Wu Zhiyun get on the car to rest for a while. Perhaps because they were still young, they were afraid that they would get tired, so the eldest and second brothers reached out and pushed them into the car.
Wu Yuetang was speechless, unable to bend her arms, so she had no choice but to crawl into the carriage. As soon as she entered, she fell asleep, and her consciousness had already entered the space.
"Host, host, you have already reached level five, almost level six. You have unlocked the second-level system map and a chance to draw a lottery. Would you like to participate in the lottery now?"
When the system saw Wu Yuetang entering the space, it immediately took a photo of her to verify her familiarity.
"Almost level six?"
I haven't really cared about the things in the space during this period of time. I can even draw a lottery after reaching level five?
"What are the rewards for drawing?"
"The system doesn't know what the specific rewards are."
Then a big turntable appeared in front of him. Wu Yuetang pressed the lottery button, and the turntable began to spin and finally stopped on the spiritual spring.
"Congratulations to the host for unlocking the Spiritual Spring. In the future, all crops, poultry, and livestock will be irrigated with the Spiritual Spring by default."
Lingquan? Is that the Lingquan I understand?
Wu Yuetang was a little excited, but a little uncertain. She picked up the water bag she carried with her, filled it with spiritual spring water, and took a sip.
"Hmm! It's refreshing and sweet, and it's especially refreshing. It's the spiritual spring I understand! Really good, it's worth all my hard work to upgrade."
He then inspected the situation in the space, processed the crops, poultry, and pickled quail eggs, and then left the space.
The rest time is almost over, so the village chief leads the team out.
This time it was the turn of the two sisters-in-law to rest, while the eldest and second brothers sat in front of the carriage and drove it.
It was June in Dayu, and the scorching heat coupled with the long drought made the soles of the feet ache just walking on the road. Wu Yuetang watched her parents wiping their sweat and directly picked up her water bag and handed it to them.
"Dad, Mom, drink some water and you'll feel better."
Maybe it was too hot, Li and Wu Shoutian did not refuse, picked up the water bag and took a small sip.
After drinking, the two of them felt less uncomfortable instantly, the heat in their bodies also subsided a lot, and their throats, which were originally dry and smoking, were now moist.
"Girl, what kind of water is this? It's so sweet."
"It's just ordinary water, Dad. You must be too hot."
Seeing this, Wu Yuetang hurriedly gave her father another sip of water and quickly covered his mouth, otherwise if his questions were heard by others, he would not have a peaceful life.
