Chapter Twenty-Six: The Troubles of the Educated Youth Settlement
"The East is Red, the sun rises, a new thing emerges in the east..."
The village loudspeaker blared out patriotic songs that were played every morning.
"Sign in."
["Congratulations, host, you have successfully signed in and received 5 Advanced Spirit Springs, 5 Body Refining Pills, 10 High-Rank Evil-Repelling Talismans, and 10 High-Rank Spirit Beast Meat."]
Gu Zuozuo looked at the scribbles in her hand, a question mark slowly appearing above her head.
"Klass, is there a ghost here?"
The system spun around in a cheerful tone.
"Yes, host. It's just a pity I'm not a ghost-catching system, so I can't open your Yin-Yang eyes. But don't worry, this world has banned the creation of spirits since its founding, so they can't pose a threat to humans."
Aside from occasionally scaring toddlers under one year old who can't speak, it's not very aggressive, unlike the ghosts in the supernatural world who use all sorts of ghostly killing techniques on humans, and are all fierce and menacing.
Gu Zuozuo was surprised. So ghosts really do exist in this world. She had always thought they were just figments of human imagination.
She shook the stack of yellow paper talismans in her hand; there was no point in her signing them in.
[Host, you can list this item in the system and let me sell it for you. In the supernatural world, this thing is a lifesaver.]
Gu Zuozuo didn't stand on ceremony and directly asked the system to help sell it on her behalf.
With her left hand, she picked up a large bundle of firewood tied up on the ground, and with her right hand, she carried two pheasants. Gu Zuozuo slowly walked towards the educated youth settlement under the morning sun.
"Tch... I thought his family had some kind of power, acting like he was getting special treatment as soon as he arrived. Turns out he's just a freeloader, huh? Some people really have thick skin!"
Gu Zuozuo paused as she entered the room, turned to look at Ye Hua, who was carrying a washbasin and speaking in a sarcastic tone, and frowned slightly. What was this man doing so crazy so early in the morning?
Ye Hua's eyes held malice as she looked at Gu Zuozuo with disdain. Ha, so arrogant, she thought she had some great connections at home. Turns out she's just someone who mooches off her friends and looks down on them. How dare she look down on them?
"What are you looking at? Am I wrong? Don't you eat your friends' food and wear your friends' clothes?"
He overheard that Meng Tian said she was going to send one of the packages her parents sent to Gu Zuozuo, and thinking about it made him almost go crazy with jealousy.
Both were sent-down youth, both were children abandoned by their families, so why is it that Gu Zuozuo has two friends to take care of her, lives such a carefree life, has no worries about food and drink, and spends money like water?
As for him, his family not only couldn't help him with anything, but also expected him to send the grain he earned from a year's work points back home. No one even considered whether he had enough to eat or wear.
Gu Zuozuo raised an eyebrow, understanding now, it's conjunctivitis.
"none of your business!"
I thought that places with many women would be the place of trouble, but it turns out that these men are even more troublesome than women. They are all petty and narrow-minded, and they often mock the female educated youth and criticize the girls in the village behind their backs.
She'd been living in this era for almost a month, and while she hadn't discovered anything particularly simple or honest, she'd certainly mastered all the common male vices to the maximum level.
"Rude! Savage! Are you even a woman?"
"Are you blind? If I'm not you, then you are!"
At this point, Gu Zuozuo glanced at him from head to toe, her eyes conveying a meaningful look.
