Chapter 8 Why are you crying?
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening a low-level gift box and obtaining an 'Inexhaustible' lighter! ]
The system panel refreshed, and a golden dragon-shaped lighter appeared on it.
Um???
Gu Tang had a question mark on his forehead. Can a lighter be used as a prize?
[The 'Endless' lighter has been stored in the system backpack. The host can check it at any time. ]
I opened the backpack and saw a row of tiny words under the lighter compartment.
Gu Tang clicked on it to enlarge it, and it turned out to be information about the lighter.
[Endless supply of lighters, windproof and waterproof, never runs out. ]
Never run out?
Gu Tang raised his eyebrows. This function is good.
In ancient times, making fire was a difficult task.
Ordinary people usually use flint, but those with a wealthy family can buy a flint.
The Gu family could not afford a flint. They had two scholars, one big and one small, at home, and they wanted to make every penny count.
Even the flint that the family uses today was shamelessly obtained from relatives.
During the month that Gu Tang had been here, he had not yet learned how to use flint to light a fire, and he always ended in failure.
Lighting a fire with a flint requires patience and skill. Every time Gu Tang struck it a few more times, he would attract the attention of the Gu family.
Everyone scolded her for being clumsy and for having to knock so many times to light a fire. They said she was deliberately wasting the flint at home and insisted that Gu Tang pay a copper coin as compensation!
Gu Tang got angry immediately.
I saw people who paid to go to work in my previous life, but I didn’t expect to see someone who paid to work again in this life!
She can't afford this copper coin, so she just refuses to serve!
Gu Tang took out the lighter and played with it for a few times. It was heavy and had a very textured feel.
The dragon claw is a button. When you press it, the dragon head will spray out blue flames.
The golden dragon shape, coupled with the blue flame, you know what, the overall look is very eye-catching.
After playing with it, put it back into the backpack, so you don’t have to worry about making a fire in the future.
This time the green gift box was very powerful, which greatly boosted Gu Tang’s confidence. He clicked twice at the remaining two gift boxes and opened them all in one go.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening an intermediate gift box and obtaining an 'inexhaustible' skin care set! ]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening a high-level gift box and obtaining a complete set of recipes for "Backflow Incense"! ]
[The 'unlimited' skin care set has been stored in the system backpack. ]
[The complete recipe for 'Backflow Incense' has been stored in the system backpack.]
Wow!
She burns incense really well!
Gu Tang smiled happily, these two things are both good things.
This endless beauty set includes five skin care products: face cream, lotion, essence water, serum, and body lotion.
After use, your skin will become delicate and tender, as white as snow, just like mutton-fat white jade.
The complete set of secret recipes for making backflow incense includes the recipes for making incense and incense burner.
The former makes her beautiful, and the latter allows her to make money and not worry about her livelihood.
Overall, the prizes drawn this time were very much to her liking.
Taking out the backflow incense recipe and reading it carefully, Gu Tang discovered that incense was easy to make, but firing the incense burner was a bit troublesome.
Given her current situation, it is still quite difficult.
Of course, there is still a way out.
She could build a small kiln herself. It didn't need to be too big, just big enough to hold a few incense burners.
After pondering for a while, Gu Tang felt that this was a very good idea and he could try it later.
After putting the formula back into the backpack and taking out the endless skin care set, Gu Tang opened them one by one with a curious look on his face and sniffed them. It had a pleasant lotus scent.
Use the provided silver spoon to scoop out a little and apply it on the back of your hand. Rub it in carefully and you will see how moisturizing it is.
That’s great! I no longer have to endure the peeling and chapped face caused by dry and cold weather.
It was daytime now and body lotion was not needed, so Gu Tang placed the bottles and jars of facial cleansing products on the couch and followed the skin care steps from his previous life, applying them to his face, massaging them carefully until they were absorbed, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Even after traveling through time, I still want to be a beautiful and fragrant girl.
After wiping his face and hands, Gu Tang put the skin care products back into the system backpack, put the back of his hand under his nose, and kept sniffing.
When she applied it just now, she was a little worried that the fragrance would be too strong. But after applying it now, she found that the fragrance was very light, not pungent at all, and it smelled soothing and refreshing.
The more Gu Tang sniffed, the more excited he became. He felt extremely happy, and all his previous unhappiness disappeared.
Just as I was intoxicated by the lotus fragrance, I suddenly heard Gu Ping'an's shouting from the yard outside -
"Dad! Uncle is back!"
Gu Tang shuddered and immediately woke up.
Gu Liansheng is back?
She quickly climbed onto the couch and looked out through the crack in the window.
Her father came out of the main room upon hearing the news, followed by Feng who kept pulling him. The mother and son were arguing about something.
"You bastard! You haven't embarrassed yourself enough, and you want to embarrass your elder brother as well? Come back here! If you dare to go to the village and shout, I will die in front of you!"
"You want to die? Okay! You go first, and when you die, I will immediately send your eldest family down with you, and then your son and his family will follow you.
All the young and old in our Gu family went to the underworld to meet our ancestors. After meeting them, I said, you old man can't bear to leave your children and grandchildren, and you insist that the whole family die together!
Tell me, if our ancestors knew about this, wouldn’t they praise you for being kind and virtuous?”
These words made Feng's heart tremble. She knew that if she really wanted to commit suicide, this unfilial beast would really dare to do it!
Feng was so angry that she couldn't breathe. Her vision went dark and she sat down in the corridor. It took her a while to recover.
Gu Tang: …………
As expected, the one who can suppress Feng is her father!
"mother!!!"
A sharp scream suddenly sounded at the gate of the courtyard.
Gu Tang pushed the window open a little more and saw Gu Liansheng with a look of shock on his face.
Gu Liansheng's face was flushed, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine.
His feet were not feeling well and he stumbled towards Feng, hugged her and started crying.
"Mom! Don't scare your son! What's wrong with you? Your son can't live without you——"
Um???
Gu Tang was confused.
No, why does this situation seem a little off?
When Feng, who had recovered her breath, saw her beloved crying so bitterly, she was also overwhelmed with grief:
"My son - mother is incompetent! I can't control your ruthless second brother! He is a mess himself, and he wants to drag you into disgrace..."
Gu Liansheng was probably drunk, and at the moment he couldn't say anything else. He just lay on Feng's legs and cried.
She cried so heart-wrenchingly.
If you don’t know this, you might think that Feng Shi is dead!
Gu Liansheng cried so hard that Feng stopped complaining and hugged her son's head and cried too.
The rest of the Gu family, including her father, looked at the mother and son with indescribable expressions.
I really don’t know why they are crying!
"Sister!" There was a knock on the door, and Gu Ping'an called softly into the room.
