Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 8 Why are you crying?
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening a low-level gift box and receiving an 'Inexhaustible' lighter!]

The system panel refreshed, and a golden dragon-shaped lighter appeared on it.

Ok? ? ?
Gu Tang was puzzled. 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 a 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 wished they could split a copper coin into ten parts.

Even the flint we use at home today was shamelessly obtained from relatives.

During the month that Gu Tang had been traveling through time, he had not yet learned how to use flint to light a fire, and every time he tried he ended in failure.

Lighting a fire with a flint requires patience and skill. Every time Gu Tang struck it a few more times, it 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 work in my previous life, but I didn’t expect to see someone who paid to work again in this life!
She couldn't afford the money, so she just refused 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 flames, 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 on the remaining two gift boxes and opened them all in one go.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening an intermediate gift box and receiving an 'endless' beauty set! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening a premium gift box and obtaining a complete recipe for 'Backflow Incense'!]

[The 'unused' skincare set has been stored in the system backpack.]

[The complete recipe for 'Backflow Incense' has been stored in the system backpack.]

Excuse!
She burns incense so well!

Gu Tang smiled happily, these two things are both good things.

This endless beauty set includes five skincare 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 found that the 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 thought this was a very good idea and thought he could give it a try later. He put the formula back into his backpack and took out his endless supply of skincare products. Gu Tang opened each one with a curious look on his face and sniffed it. The scent was a pleasant lotus.

Use the silver spoon that comes with it to scoop out a little and apply it on the back of your hand. Rub it in carefully and the moisture will be visible to the naked eye.

That’s great! I no longer have to endure the peeling and chapped face caused by dry and cold weather.

It was daytime now, so body lotion was not needed. Gu Tang placed the bottles and jars of facial cleansing products on the couch. Following the skin care steps from his previous life, he applied these skin care products to his face, massaging them carefully to absorb them, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Even if I travel 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. It smelled soothing and refreshing.

The more Gu Tang sniffed, the more intoxicated he became. He felt extremely happy, and all his previous unhappiness disappeared.

Just as I was immersed in the lotus fragrance, Gu Ping'an's shouting suddenly came 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, upon hearing the news, walked out of the main room, followed by Feng who kept pulling him. The mother and son were arguing about something.

"You bastard! You've embarrassed yourself enough, and you're going to embarrass your brother too? Come back here! If you dare to go back to the village and yell, I'll die in front of you!"

"You want to die? Fine! You go first. When you're done, I'll immediately send your eldest wife and family down with you. Then your son and his family will follow.

All the members of our Gu family, young and old, went to the underworld to meet our ancestors. After we met them, I said, you old man couldn't bear to leave your children and grandchildren, and you insisted 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 looked like he had drunk a lot of wine.

His feet were not feeling well, and he stumbled as he ran towards Feng, hugged her and burst into tears.

"Mom! Don't scare your son! What's wrong with you? Your son can't live without you——"

Ok? ? ?
Gu Tang was confused.

No, why does this situation seem a little wrong?
Feng, who had recovered her breath, was overwhelmed with grief when she saw her beloved crying so bitterly.
"My son—I'm incompetent! I can't control your heartless and ruthless second brother! He's a mess himself, and yet he drags you into disgrace with him..."

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 and heartbrokenly.

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 without caring about anything else.

The rest of the Gu family, including her father, all 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.
