Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

It was three days later when Shi Yan woke up again.

For Shi Yan, she just had a sleep out of exhaustion, but for Gu Zhen, every day seemed like a year to him.

Not only did he have to take care of the Shi family's funeral, he also had to keep an eye on Shi Yan's condition.

He knew that his wife was a very clean person, so she helped with the cleaning several times a day. He could no longer take care of the business in the store, so he temporarily moved back to the village.

Some people in the village were superstitious and said that the Shi family members had died tragically, so they wanted to pull a living soul down to help share their pain.

Although this rumor quickly disappeared with the intervention of the village chief, Gu Zhen was still afraid.

He also asked his younger brother to secretly go to the next village to find an old lady who could perform exorcisms, and perform the exorcism on Shi Yan in private.

When Shi Yan opened her eyes, the old lady was just about to spray the burnt talisman paper mixed with water on her.

If it was just the talisman water, Shi Yan would think it was no big deal, but A-Po had several rotten teeth, and she was going to hold the talisman water in her mouth and then spray it on Shi Yan's body. She really couldn't stand it.

Shi Yan didn't know why she had such a strong feeling of disgust. After all, she had experienced the filth of the end of the world, and she had long forgotten about mysophobia.

But at this moment, just thinking about the talisman water and saliva spraying on her body made her feel uncomfortable all over.

Shi Yan moved quickly. She pulled up the quilt covering her body and covered the old lady who was about to spray the talisman water.

The old lady was short and thin, and was caught off guard, so she was knocked to the ground by Shi Yan.

Shi Yan was worried that someone might die, so she quickly used her special power to extend vines from the ground. The vines caught the old lady when she was about to fall to the ground, so Apo was not hurt at all.

"Wife, you're awake, that's great!"

At this moment, the only person in Gu Zhen's eyes and mind was Shi Yan who had woken up on the kang. He quickly went over and hugged her in his arms.

The moment she was hugged, Shi Yan subconsciously tensed her body out of defense because she was used to walking in the apocalypse.

But think about it, she and Gu Zhen did everything they should have done, and also did everything they shouldn't have done. They have been married for almost four years, and she didn't understand why she was suddenly on guard.

Realizing that something was wrong with her, Shi Yan quickly relaxed her body and leaned into Gu Zhen's arms.

"It's okay. I was just a little dazed at the time. I don't know why I fainted. Don't worry, I will be more careful next time."

The two of them hadn't spoken to each other for a few days, and Gu Zhen always felt that he had a lot to say to his young wife.

But he was not good at speaking, and he was at a loss for words when he wanted to say something. Finally, the witch on the ground got up and patted Gu Zhen on the shoulder.

"Young man, you haven't given me the money for the offering yet? Your wife is awake now. I think it's because of the Buddha's light on me that the evil spirits in your wife's body dare not run wild after I entered this room."

Shi Yan was amused by the old lady's shamelessness. How could she flatter herself so much?

But Gu Zhen didn't think so. It was Shi Yan's fault that she didn't wake up for the past two days. She had to wait until the witch came to wake up. It must be someone else's credit, so he was very happy to pay the money.

Looking at the one dollar that Gu Zhen handed over, Shi Yan felt that it was not a lot. The most important thing was that the old lady ran exceptionally fast after taking the money.

The thin body disappeared from the sight of the two people in an instant.

Even if Shi Yan wanted to make a fuss about it, it would be useless, not to mention that Shi Yan didn't mean that.

Just as Shi Yan and Gu Zhen were looking at each other in silence, a "gurgling" sound came from Shi Yan's stomach.

Shi Yan curled her lips a little embarrassedly:

"Brother Zhen, I'm a little hungry. I want to eat the noodles you cooked."

Since his young wife had a request, Gu Zhen was naturally very satisfied.

It was just because they hadn't been home for a while and there weren't many things left at home, so Gu Zhen had to go out and buy flour from another family, and then cook noodles for Shi Yan.

While Gu Zhen is away, Shi Yan can calm down and sort out her thoughts.

The original owner's wish was that if he survived, he could be like Shen Nanci.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, she is the only one left in the Shi family, and Gu Xiang, the one who was married off in exchange, is also gone.

If she were to do what Gu Shennanci did now, not only would her and Ye Beiyu's small family become wealthy, but her mother's family would also become wealthy.

Shi Yan no longer has a mother's home, and she doesn't know whether the system will judge her mission as failed.

She can only try her best to make up for it now, such as making the two younger ones, Gu Song and Gu Tao, rich.

Not only do they need to have outstanding abilities, but they also need to have a rich family background.

After making the decision, Shi Yan's mind became clear. She felt that she had been too comfortable since coming to this world, which was not desirable.

So from this day on, it became the day of suffering for the two little ones, Gu Song and Gu Tao.

The gentle and amiable sister-in-law used to watch over them as they studied every day and rested on weekends. They had originally volunteered to help in the store, but that was only when it was busy occasionally. Sometimes, Shi Yan would persuade them to go back to rest or study.

But Shi Yan is not like that anymore. She treats the two little ones like laborers, paying them one day's wages for a day's work, and letting them have their own little piggy bank.
