In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

Most of the cars she stored in the warehouse were equipped with smart assistants.

I turned it off last night because I was afraid it would scare the children.

The car started at that moment, and it turned on by itself again, without making a loud noise.

But everyone was too shocked to utter a sound, and these few words were heard clearly!

"This monster can call me 'master'? Is it a maid? It doesn't even have a mouth, so how can it speak?"

"What's an empty note? What's 'family fuss'? What's the fuss at home?"

"Is the cold drink ice cream? Is it tasty?"

The well-informed shopkeeper Wu's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "Miss Jiang, is this car really rented? Where did you rent it from? Could you get me one too?"

He wants to get a car so that if he ever has to flee famine, he won't have to endure the wind and sun.

"That person only has this one car, but I'll mention it to him and bring it to you if he gets any."

That's what they say, but this is different from food, and Jiang Mianmian doesn't plan to give it to outsiders for the time being.

If you don't drive well, it can easily lead to a fatal accident!

If you're using it yourself, you don't have so many concerns. Let others say what they want. You've been reborn. Why hoard so many supplies? Aren't you just waiting for them to rust?

She beckoned the mice to get on the vehicle, and dragged Li Mu and Jiang Ranran on as well.

"Goodbye, Manager Wu!"

"and many more!"

A girl's anxious voice came through the car window.

Jiang Mianmian rolled down the car window. "Qingrui? What brings you here?"

"Here you go! Miss Jiang, thank you. I've taken your words to heart. This is a gift from my family as a token of our gratitude!"

Qingrui stuffed a large bundle through the car window, panting heavily, as if she had run all the way here.

[Merit +50, Total Merit Points 488.]

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

It felt like wood, and Jiang Mianmian didn't refuse, waving her hand with a smile.

My merit points have increased again, that's great!

"Boom~"

The car roared and slowly drove into the rain.

Outside the car, it was pouring rain, but inside, cheerful singing filled the air.

The children were a little reserved at first, but they soon couldn't help but get excited.

They even started chatting with the voice assistant, asking, "What songs can you sing?"

Assistant: "I'll sing whatever you want to hear."

"I don't believe it!" the child exclaimed, getting excited. "Then sing 'Happy and Carefree' for me to hear?"

"The spring breeze is warm, the sun shines bright. The little child is lazy, sleeping soundly. Parents call, but he doesn't hear. The sun is high in the sky, and he smiles in his dreams. Sparrows chirp, making noise outside the window. He wakes up and goes back to sleep, without any worries."

A melodious tune drifted through the car, piquing the interest of all the children, who joined in the singing.

"With sweet cakes, I rise early. Without delicacies, I lie down again. Day after day, I am idle, my heart is carefree. I am carefree and happy."

Jiang Mianmian was driving when she heard a warm and joyful sound.

However, the more he listened, the stranger it seemed, and his smile slowly faded: Why would a modern-day car assistant sing a popular folk song from the Rong Kingdom?

When she was on a mission, she would visit libraries and museums to look up relevant books almost every time she went to a new world.

Attempts to find the fate of Rongguo after the natural disaster have yielded no results without exception.

The system told her that after her death, the Rong Kingdom experienced decades of disasters before finally disappearing completely, leaving no trace of its history.

Since there are no traces, a car assistant generated based on modern big data could not possibly be a folk song!

Lost in thought, she didn't notice that Jiang Ranran at the back of the car was furious.

Her eyes were bloodshot as she meticulously memorized the car's interior. She couldn't believe where that bitch had gotten such a wonderful thing! Even if she were crippled, what did it matter? Plenty of men would still come seeking her hand in marriage!

Li Mu nudged her. "Ranran, what happened to you?"

"hiss."

Jiang Ranran sobbed, "Uncle, I... I was beaten by my sister. Please don't blame her. There must be a reason why my sister hit me, sob sob."

Keep trying to sow discord between that bitch and me. Once she's in the Jiang family, someone will take care of things for her!

She looked at Li Mu's twisted calves with heartache, "Uncle, did your sister do this to you too?"

"Ah, haha, I..."

Li Mu was too embarrassed to say it, but he was so tightly bound like a caterpillar that even if he didn't say it, others could guess.

Jiang Ranran sneered inwardly, but her face was full of heartache. "This is where my sister is wrong. I am the younger sister, and it doesn't matter if she insults or beats me at will, but my uncle is an elder, and he is talented and handsome. How could she do this? What if something happens to him in the future...?"

"It's alright, I'll have your mother call a doctor for us later, he'll definitely be able to cure us."

Li Mu felt uneasy, but he had to comfort her, "What big thing happened in your family recently? Why is that brat acting like she's possessed by a ghost?"

These words gave Jiang Ranran a new idea. She put on a terrified look, "No wonder she hit my eldest brother, second brother, and mother, and now she dares to lay a hand on my uncle! It must be...it must be...Uncle, what should we do? Should we ask Granny Li to help my sister summon her soul? This strange thing must also be a ghost's magic weapon. We can have Granny Li drive it away too!"

As long as you give Granny Li some silver, this magic artifact will become Jiang Ranran's.

"Yes! I'll tell my sister later!"

Li Mu's eyes lit up.

The two of them discussed the matter furtively for a long time.

Jiang Mianmian, who was driving, received a whispered announcement from her assistant: "[New recording detected. Would you like to listen now?]"

New recording?

She glanced at the back of the car.

If the recording equipment is installed at the back of the car, then the new recording is from those two people, right?

She drove with one hand, using the other to put on her left earphone. "Let it go."

Their discussion completely exposed their true intentions.

Jiang Mianmian scoffed, "What kind of time is this to be exorcising demons?"

What a wishful thinking!

It takes half an hour to walk back to the village from Fengshui County, but only about twenty minutes by car, even with poor road conditions and Jiang Mianmian deliberately slowing down.

It was completely different from when I left, when there were villagers everywhere.

After days of torrential rain, the fields were flooded. The villagers had no time to chat idly anymore; they all stood on the ridges of the fields, wearing raincoats and straw hats, scooping water out with all their might.

However, human strength is no match for the speed of rain, so it was almost useless.

The villagers were all dejected.

"If this continues, the fields will be ruined before the rain stops. This year is going to be tough."

"At worst, we can grow some other things, raise a few pigs and hogs, and sell them to restaurants."

"Have you heard the rumor going around town? It says it's a natural disaster! People are going to die!"

"I don't believe it! It's just rained for a few days, what's there to be afraid of? It'll stop eventually!"

“My brother-in-law’s neighbor in the city left, saying that the Ye family had all left.”

Suddenly, someone saw a light in the distance, getting closer and closer to them!

Startled, he dropped the wooden basin he was holding. "What's that?"

The others followed his gaze and exclaimed, "Ghost! Ghost Eyes! Run!"

Everyone turned and ran.

Several others were so frightened their legs went weak and they plopped down in the water, crying out, "Help me! I don't want to be eaten by ghosts!"

"Useless!" Despite the insults, some people stopped, pulled them up, and ran with them.
