After traveling to the fairyland with the home system

Chapter 5 Scarce Resources

With the help of Youyou, the cleaning work of the courtyard was completed very quickly.Not only the guest room and kitchen, but also the concierge and the outer courtyard were cleaned.

Youyou is full of energy and wants to clean up the backyard as well.But Ruan Nanxing saw that her face was flushed and her breathing was heavy, fearing that she would be exhausted, so she stopped her.

The two sat on the stone steps at the gate of the courtyard watching the sunset.

Ruan Nanxing, who was poor and destitute, had nothing good to offer to thank the children, so he had to fetch a bucket of water from the well in his home in the end.

Fortunately, there are cups in the wooden house, otherwise we can only use buckets to drink water.

Ruan Nanxing handed over the water and said dryly, "Drink some water, this water...is very sweet."

Ruan Nanxing felt ashamed for being such a big man, asking his children to help him with the work, but he didn't even have a piece of candy, for fear of being rejected.

But Youyou's expression was pleasantly surprised, "Can I drink it?" The next second, she asked anxiously: "But... my sister, is your water not enough?"

Ruan Nanxing realized in an instant that various resources in the lower realm were scarce, and water was also very scarce. For monks in the lower realm, water was a very precious resource.

She pushed the water glass to Youyou, "Just drink it, my sister has nothing else, but the water pipe is enough!"

Youyou immediately smiled, took a big gulp from the water glass, and at the same time swallowed, her round and big eyes widened even further, she said in surprise: "It's so sweet, it's so delicious!"

Ruan Nanxing directly carried the bucket over, "Drink more if you like."

Youyou nodded with a smile, took another big sip, and said, "Sister, your water is full of aura, much better than the water condensed by Aunt Ling."

Ruan Nanxing was puzzled, "Condensed?"

Youyou said: "Aunt Ling is the only water-attribute monk in our village. Only she can draw water from the surroundings and condense it into water. Therefore, the daily water consumption of the villagers is fixed, and it needs to be very economical to be able to use it. Every time I I only dare to take a sip of water.”

After finishing speaking, Youyou sighed heavily.

Ruan Nanxing understood, but she didn't understand much about the environment, especially since this is a fairyland, completely different from her previous world, so she could only sigh along with her.

Not long after drinking the water, Liu Hui came to pick up Youyou. When she saw the bucket next to the two of them, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and when she saw the water glass with only a little water left in Youyou's hand, her expression changed instantly. .

Liu Hui took a step forward, snatched Youyou's water glass, and said sharply, "How can you drink sister's water?!"

Youyou was taken aback, and the circles of his eyes turned red.

Ruan Nanxing quickly pulled Youyou into his arms to cover her ears, "Aunt Hui, don't be angry, I gave Youyou the water to drink, and Youyou helped me all afternoon, I don't have anything to eat here, only It's water."

Liu Hui's expression was very anxious, "Nan Xing, you just came here. You don't know how precious the water in the lower realm is. Sooner or later, your water will run out. How can you give it to outsiders for nothing!"

"It's not an outsider." Ruan Nanxing said seriously: "Youyou is the first person I met here, and I like her very much." After a pause, she continued: "Don't worry, Aunt Hui, my water is short-lived. It won’t run out, and it’s not bad.”

Liu Hui's expression softened a little, but she still sighed: "You'll know when you live for a while. This water looks inconspicuous, but you can't do anything without it. It's not enough."

After speaking, Liu Hui took Youyou and left.

Ruan Nanxing looked at the bucket at her feet. Originally, she wanted Liu Hui to take the water back, but in the end she didn't ask, because she knew Liu Hui wouldn't want it.

Like the environment in the lower realm, Liu Hui's thoughts cannot be changed in a short while.

Ruan Nanxing entered the courtyard and closed the gate, and went straight back to her home. She first took a look at the vegetable garden. It was the same as at noon, nothing changed much.

She remembered that Youyou said that the well water was full of aura, so she brought another bucket up, watered the ground again, washed up after finishing her work, went to the closet to change into loose clothes as pajamas, and went to bed.

Probably because he went to bed early, Ruan Nanxing woke up at dawn the next day.

She changed into a calf-length dark blue skirt, braided her long hair into a fishbone braid, and finally put on short boots to fetch water in the backyard. Just as she bent down, she suddenly froze, and then suddenly looked at the vegetable garden—it was pitch black The land on the ground has been covered with a piece of tender green, and the seeds she planted yesterday have sprouted!

Ruan Nanxing was shocked, and hurried over to check it out. When he got closer, he found that it was not just sprouting, but some seedlings had already grown.

She had to wonder whether this was due to the well water, or was it the setting of the home system?It can't be that she is so talented that she was so successful in farming for the first time, right?
Ruan Nanxing suppressed the fluttering thoughts in his heart, and rationally divided the vegetable garden into two even parts, watering one part and leaving the other part to fend for itself. It was an experiment.

After everything was tidied up, Ruan Nanxing drank a few sips of water and left the house. By the way, he brought out a quilt and arranged the guest room to at least look like someone lived in it.

As for the kitchen... Ruan Nanxing really couldn't find something suitable to "decorate", so he could only ignore it for now. Anyway, immortal cultivators probably don't use the kitchen very much, don't they all eat bigu pills or something?

Ruan Nanxing closed the gate of the courtyard with peace of mind and went down the mountain.

As soon as I walked to the foot of the mountain, I saw the smoke rising from the village in the distance.

Ruan Nanxing: ...This is completely different from the world of cultivating immortals she imagined. It's no wonder she mistook the era when she first came here.

It was still early, and the village was very quiet. Ruan Nanxing walked through half of the village and came to Yang Yaoshi's big courtyard.

At this moment, Pharmacist Yang was turning over the medicinal materials. When he heard the movement, he turned his head and looked over. He was not surprised to see that it was Ruan Nanxing, so he asked softly, "Has the injury on your hand healed?"

Ruan Nanxing touched the smooth back of her hand, and nodded guiltyly. In fact, the injury on her hand healed up the next morning, and even the traces could not be seen. After all, her body is made of data, and everything has its own settings. .

It's like Cinderella's glass slipper, which will return to its original shape when the time comes.

Pharmacist Yang packed up the dried herbs, picked up a bamboo basket and walked out, "The place where the herbs are collected is a little far away, have you brought something to eat?"

Ruan Nanxing shook his head, "Are you going to be back very late?"

Yaoshi Yang: "If it goes well, I can come back in the first half of the night. If it doesn't go well, I have to wait until tomorrow."

Ruan Nanxing had no objection, just... "Will it be dangerous?"

Yaoshi Yang glanced at her and said firmly, "It shouldn't be dangerous to you."

Ruan Nanxing relaxed, showing a little smile, "Then let's go."

Yaoshi Yang led the way silently, thinking, with Ruan Nanxing around this time, he might be able to explore deeper places.

Ruan Nanxing didn't know anything about this, and set out on the road with the expectation of gaining a better understanding of this strange world.

　Yaoshi Yang: With her, I can go further.

　　Ruan Nanxing: Have you misunderstood something?
