Chapter 7 System Lottery
Gu Qing shouted this way in order to attract the attention of the people in the main hall and stir up other conflicts to help her mother, Wei.
But who would have thought that there was a lot of noise in the main room and no one paid attention to what he said.
Gu Qing was so angry that his teeth were itching. He wanted to shout again, but when he glanced over, he saw Gu Tang coming out of the house and standing in the corridor of the west wing, staring at him coldly.
I don't know what happened, but when I met Gu Tang's gaze, Gu Qing was suddenly startled. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.
When she came to her senses, Gu Qing's face flushed red, she felt embarrassed and annoyed. She was actually afraid of Gu Tang? !
Gu Tang didn't tolerate her and just spat at her, then slammed the door.
Gu Qing was so angry that his teeth were about to break, and he was ready to go over to settle the score with Gu Tang.
"You're crazy!" Gu Lian, the second daughter of the eldest wife, hurriedly grabbed her and said, "What are you doing over there? Can you beat Si Ya? Or can you beat San Lang?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, waking up Gu Qing's furious mind.
Gu Lian continued, "I don't know what happened these days. Si Ya is so vicious and strong that she not only beats people herself, but also teaches San Lang to behave like a dog, beating whoever he points at!
If you go to look for her now, Tianbao and I will not help you! Who can you beat by yourself? Be careful of Si Ya's hoof hitting you in the face! If you get disfigured, you should give up the idea of marrying Mr. Shen!"
Gu Qing was so embarrassed by these words that she immediately turned her face up. "What nonsense are you talking about! What is this about marriage or not! When did I ever say I wanted to marry Mr. Shen?! Why are you talking nonsense here!"
Not feeling satisfied after cursing for a while, he actually pinched Gu Lian's arm a few times.
Gu Lian cried out in pain from being strangled, but she didn't dare to hide.
Gu Tianbao on the side was unhappy and pushed Gu Qing away, "You don't know how to appreciate kindness! Second sister shouldn't have advised you, she should have let you go over and get a beating!"
"You..." Gu Qing was pushed and staggered back two steps, raising his right hand high to hit Gu Tianbao.
Gu Tianbao was not afraid of her, he put his face close to her and let her hit him: "Hit me if you want! Whoever doesn't hit me is a turtle in the river! If you hit me, I will let my parents beat you to death!"
Gu Qing was shaking with anger, but he didn't dare to lower his hand which was raised high. Finally, he was so angry that he covered his face and went back to the house crying.
Gu Tianbao won a great victory and wanted to say a few more harsh words in triumph, but Gu Lian quickly covered his mouth: "Ancestor! Be careful of her doing bad things behind your back! Haven't you suffered enough from her? Hurry up and go to the headman's house to find your father!"
At this time, only her father could help her mother out.
But her father was drinking at the headman's house at the moment, and if she went over and shouted, she would definitely be scolded.
It’s different for the younger brother. If he goes and shouts, their father will just come back with a smile.
"I won't go!" Gu Tianbao is not someone who can be easily manipulated. "Dad always likes to ask me to recite books in front of others! Unfortunately, I can't recite those books, and I always stumble and fall. It's so embarrassing! I won't go!"
Gu Lian was so angry that she slapped him and said, "I will definitely not let you carry me this time. Just say that your second uncle went crazy at home again!"
Gu Tianbao still hesitated.
"If you don't go, when mother comes out, I will tell her that you didn't save her! Then mother will hug you and cry!" Gu Lian had no choice but to use her trump card.
Gu Tianbao shuddered all over. He was most afraid of his mother hugging him and crying!
Every time his mother cried and complained about how difficult her life was, her words expressed a debt of gratitude that could never be repaid in a lifetime, which made him feel suffocated!
"Don't tell her! I'll go!" Gu Tianbao looked grim and ran out of the yard.
In the west wing, Gu Ping'an, who had been lying on the crack of the door and keeping an eye on Gu Qing and his sister, reported Gu Tianbao's movements to Gu Tang in a timely manner.
"The darling of the first wife has gone out. He must be looking for his uncle!"
Gu Tang was washing his hands carefully, and asked absentmindedly: "Looking for uncle? Uncle is not at home again?"
"Not at home. I went to the headman's house for a drink today."
"Drinking again?" Gu Tang curled his lips. "Uncle gets sleepy when he drinks. He will definitely go to sleep when he comes back. Dad has been scolding for so long, it's time for him to take a break."
Then he pointed outside and asked Gu Ping'an to guard the gate: "Keep an eye on him. When you see uncle, shout towards the main hall. When dad hears him, he will know what to do."
"Okay!" Gu Ping'an nodded, opened the door, and trotted to the gate to guard it.
When leaving, he did not forget to close the door, which was very conscientious.
Gu Tang glanced back and felt very satisfied, as this was all due to her training.
After washing his hands, Gu Tang took out a soft towel from his system backpack to wipe his hands, and then took out a box of facial cream he bought in Bei'an City and applied it carefully on his hands.
After finishing all this, she counted out nine incense sticks, lit them with a fire stick, and then knelt down and made a wish in each of the four directions.
“Great Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Tathagata Buddha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva… please bless me, a poor wretch! Traveling back to ancient times is already extremely pitiful. I pray for good luck to come and bless me for the rest of my life…”
I have said a lot of things, but the main idea is only one: wish you good luck!
After worshiping the gods and Buddhas, Gu Tang inserted the incense into the incense burner, then called up the system panel and gently clicked three times on the lottery wheel on it to make three consecutive draws!
[Ding! The sign-in system lottery begins! ]
The colorful turntable spun rapidly, so fast that Gu Tang couldn't even find the shadow of the arrow.
After spinning at high speed for about ten seconds, the speed of the turntable began to slow down.
Soon, a burst of dazzling fireworks exploded on the system panel, and three colored gift boxes jumped out of the fireworks: purple, red, and green.
[Ding! The lottery is over! Congratulations to the host for winning one high-level gift box, one mid-level gift box, and one low-level gift box. ]
Gu Tang covered her mouth and screamed silently—Ahhh! Burning incense and praying to Buddha really worked! She was lucky today!
The sign-in system's lottery draw is open every seven days, and one more chance to draw is available every thirty days.
During this month of traveling through time, Gu Tang had a total of five chances to draw a lottery.
In the first two draws, she won a gray gift box and a green gift box. The levels of these two gift boxes were very low, and the gifts that came out were hard to describe.
The gray gift box gave out a thousand copper coins. According to the current exchange rate in Bei'an City, a thousand copper coins could be exchanged for one tael of silver.
The green gift box gives out one point.
Points can be used to buy things in the system mall.
But the things in the mall are ridiculously expensive! The lowest price costs hundreds of points.
The points obtained are really useless, not even as good as the thousand coppers in the gray box.
Gu Tang looked at the three gift boxes in front of him, full of anticipation.
The green gift box doesn’t count if it is crossed out. The red and purple gift boxes are one intermediate gift box and one advanced gift box, so you must wait to get something rare!
With trembling fingers, Gu Tang opened the green gift box first.
