The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator
Chapter 24 Ancient Fantasy 20
"What happened?"
Seeing her like this, Lin Zhixing frowned slightly, knowing that something must have happened.
“It’s nothing serious, it’s just that the villagers have been saying increasingly unpleasant things lately. My mother doesn’t go out often, so she doesn’t know yet. My father and I don’t want her to be upset if she hears this, so I thought I’d buy a house first and then go back to discuss it with them.”
Su Yuanyuan felt somewhat helpless. People can talk all they want, and as long as she didn't get married, those gossipy women would keep talking. She could only try to persuade her parents to move to town as soon as possible, since nobody knew anyone here.
"Don't worry, I will find one for you as soon as possible. If all else fails, I will try to persuade your uncle and aunt."
Lin Zhixing also knew the true colors of those women; they didn't have bad intentions, they just couldn't control their mouths.
"Forget it, they're just reluctant to leave. If they knew what was going on in the village, they would definitely be willing to move."
Su Yuanyuan waved her hand, knowing he meant well, but her parents weren't stubborn people. They just couldn't bear to leave their homeland, and they would agree sooner or later. Anyway, she didn't mind being told what to do.
"Just keep that in mind. I'll have someone find you a place to live tomorrow. Do you have any requirements?"
Lin Zhixing nodded, confident that this small matter wouldn't be difficult for her.
"A courtyard with one or two courtyards is fine, since there are only three of us. It'll be convenient to go out and buy things if it's close to the main street. You can find the rest yourself; I trust your judgment."
Su Yuanyuan considered it for a moment and mentioned a few points, but she couldn't think of anything more, so she simply handed it over to Lin Zhixing to find.
"Leave it to me, I'll definitely find one that you'll be satisfied with."
As he spoke, he opened the fan in his hand and slowly began to fan himself.
Su Yuanyuan glanced at the weather outside, then silently looked away. As long as he was happy.
"Thank you then."
"Hi, you're too kind."
Su Yuanyuan stood up, patted the wrinkles on her skirt, and said, "I'll be going now. I promised my mother I'd come home for dinner, so I have to hurry."
Should I find a carriage to take you?
Lin Zhixing also stood up and waved for the servant to call for a carriage, but Su Yuanyuan stopped him.
"No need, I'll go back myself, it's not far."
"It's not safe for a young woman like you to be alone."
Lin Zhixing disagreed. Although it was daytime, who said there weren't bad people during the day?
"I always come by myself. Even if there are bad guys, I can handle them. The carriage ride is too bumpy, I can't stand it."
Su Yuanyuan wasn't showing off; she was wearing three or four protective gear items, so how badly could she possibly be hurt?
Lin Zhixing was still worried and kept nagging behind her, making Su Yuanyuan's scalp tingle.
"Alright, alright, that's enough. You're even more long-winded than my mother."
"What are you talking about? Whom am I doing this for?"
Lin Zhixing tried to tap Su Yuanyuan on the head with his fan, but she nimbly dodged it.
"I know you mean well, but I'm really fine, don't worry, I'm leaving now."
After saying that, she waved and left Shidinglou. Lin Zhixing watched her walk away from the doorway and shook his head helplessly.
"come here."
He beckoned to the servant, and only said when the servant approached, "Follow Miss Su from a distance and make sure she gets home safely."
"Yes, I'll go right away." The servant replied and left, trailing far behind Su Yuanyuan.
Su Yuanyuan was naturally unaware of all this. She strolled around the street, bought a few small items and some pastries, before slowly leaving the town.
Enjoying the scenery along the way, she returned home safely. The people who were following her turned around and walked back after seeing her enter the house.
"Mom, I bought some pastries, they're still warm, come and have a taste."
Su Yuanyuan carried the pastries into the house. Her mother was sitting on the bed sewing clothes. She didn't stop when she saw Su Yuanyuan come in. She quickly finished sewing one section before putting the clothes down.
"Why did you take so long? I thought you weren't coming back for dinner."
"It's nothing, Lin Zhixing was just a little busy, so I waited for a while." Su Yuanyuan sat down, opened the pastry shop, and took out a piece.
"Mother, try it! It's a new product from Lan Gui Zhai. I see a lot of people buying it."
Moon Lady sat down at the table and took a piece, putting it in her mouth.
"It's really good, not too sweet, and I quite like the flavor."
"Me too. Those that are too sweet make my throat feel nauseous, but this one is just right. I'll go buy more after I finish this one."
Su Yuanyuan nodded in agreement. This pastry was indeed to her liking, so she bought a few pieces to try. It seemed she hadn't bought enough.
"Eat less, or you won't be able to eat in a while." Yue Niang ate one piece and then stopped. It didn't look like much, so she decided to save it for her daughter.
"Mom, why aren't you eating?" she said, taking another piece and handing it to her mother.
Moon Lady shook her head and didn't take it. "I'm going to cook. Your father should be back soon."
Yue Niang went into the kitchen and began preparing lunch. Su Yuanyuan continued to savor the delicious pastries, wondering whether she should go buy some more.
Just then, footsteps came from outside the door. Su Yuanyuan turned her head and saw her father carrying a sack as he walked in.
"Dad, you're back!" Su Yuanyuan said happily, putting down the pastry she had half-eaten.
"Yes, I'm back." Su Jiye kept smiling, looking like he was in a good mood.
"Dad, what are you carrying?" Su Yuanyuan walked over and was about to open the bag to take a look.
Su Jiye stopped her and tied the opening even tighter.
"I just went up the mountain and caught a few snakes. We can make porridge or roast them directly. Don't look at them, or they might bite you."
Su Yuanyuan put her hands behind her back, but still felt unsafe, so she took a few steps back.
"Dad, why are we catching snakes? Are they poisonous?"
"Don't worry, it's all non-toxic. Try it when it's done, it tastes delicious."
Su Yuanyuan shuddered and quickly waved her hand. "No, no, Dad, you should keep it for yourself."
Su Jiye noticed his daughter was scared, so he stopped talking and went to the well to draw water.
Su Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly jogged away from the bag of snakes.
Just then, Su Yuanyuan heard a "ding" in her mind, and she suddenly remembered that she had a system.
And the daily lottery, it seems like she hasn't participated in one in a long time.
Su Yuanyuan covered her face. She said she had forgotten something. She quickly called out the roulette wheel and glanced at it. Great, the chances of drawing the prize did not stack. There was still only one chance.
Su Yuanyuan reached out and clicked on the lottery, then ignored it. Just as she was about to help her mother cook, the spinning wheel suddenly stopped, and the square the pointer was pointing to emitted a burst of light.
She was stunned for a moment. Why was it so fast this time? Su Yuanyuan didn't dwell on it for too long. Anyway, being faster wouldn't do her any harm.
This time I drew another ability: plant manipulation. It allows me to communicate with plants, promote their growth, and even control them.
"This ability is amazing."
Su Yuanyuan happily clicked "use," now she had an attack ability, and she couldn't wait to try out her new ability.
She opened the door and stepped out of the house. Her mother was still cooking, and she didn't see her father. She guessed he had gone out again.
"Mother, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back!"
Without waiting for her mother's reply, she ran up the mountain.
