Chapter 197 Stacking Ingots, Horror!
Fu Yuan pretended not to have asked and started talking about serious matters.
The Fa Da Cai Supermarket branches 1-3 and vegetable plots 1-6, as well as the livestock farm, are now operating smoothly...
After chatting for half an hour, Gu Xixi had basically caught up with the conversation, and Fu Yuan then explained, "Actually, it was your aunt and uncle who asked me to come and comfort you. They were worried that there was a generation gap between us and that they wouldn't be able to speak to you on your own. But now I feel that I can't speak to you on your own either, right?"
Fu Yuan's eyes were gentle, yet also showed a touch of magnanimity.
Gu Xixi understood; just as she suspected…
“We are good friends, but sometimes even the best of friends can’t solve the emotions and suffering we have to bear. So, it’s not a question of whether we can talk to each other’s hearts. But thank you for your concern anyway.”
Gu Xixi paused for a while before replying, and Fu Yuan said nothing more, got up and left.
After seeing Fu Yuan off, Gu Xixi looked at the safe, squatted down and took out Shen Qingyan's urn, muttering to herself, "You, you served the country and the people, and in the end all you're left with is a handful of white earth. Are you happy? I'm not happy... but I always feel like you're still here, so I'm sad but not really sad..."
Aunt Qin came upstairs to collect the dishes and teapot. Gu Xixi called out to her, "Aunt Qin, could you go out and buy some yellow paper for me? I want to fold some paper ingots for Shen Qingyan. He was so poor and suffered so much when he was alive. I want him to have a better life in the afterlife."
Aunt Qin took the task and left, and Gu Xixi sighed again.
In less than an hour, Aunt Qin returned with yellow paper and several other types of paper for making ingots. Gu Xixi sat there folding them, a skill she had learned every year when burning paper money for her ancestors.
The chubby white bird seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. Every time Gu Xixi folded a paper ingot, it would snatch it away and throw it out the window, making one and throwing it away each time.
Gu Xixi's patience reached its limit. She stared at the plump white bird with a deathly gaze and stood up. "You'd better have a reasonable explanation, or I'll pluck your feathers and roast you to eat."
"Miss Gu, Miss Gu." The plump white bird only knew this one phrase. Gu Xixi got up and chased after it. The system chuckled: [Why are you arguing with a bird?]
If you want to say a proper goodbye to Shen Qingyan, you still have a Time Rewind Card available. Although you can't change history, you can resolve regrets. Do you want to use it?
[You will be traversing three thousand worlds in the future, and keeping your mind constantly burdened can harm your health, so my suggestion is to use it.]
Gu Xixi hesitated, but still nodded.
She wanted to see Shen Qingyan one more time, even if nothing could change: [Use it.]
[Friendly reminder: When using the Time Reversal Card, please think about the time and place you want to go to in your mind to improve the accuracy of time travel.]
Gu Xixi reported to Chu Anguo about her plan to use Time Reversal, and after telling Chen Yu, she changed into clothes from the Great Huang Dynasty. She also packed some gold, silver, valuables, and a wooden gun into her backpack.
Once she was ready, she stood still and waited: [Use Time Reversal Card]
[Okay, activating the Time Reversal Card function for the host. This Time Reversal Card will be used for five hours. Please pay attention to the time.]
Gu Xixi closed her eyes. Her originally calm mood was now somewhat uneasy. She wanted to go to Xilan County when Shen Qingyan returned to Xilan County after taking up his post.
As she silently contemplated the situation, her body felt lighter, and with a gust of wind, Gu Xixi was once again firmly on her feet, having completed her journey.
Gu Xixi opened her eyes and found herself standing by a small river. The scenery around her was picturesque, but there was no one around.
She looked around, and as she turned around, her eyes met those of the boy soaking in the river. The boy had a youthful version of Shen Qingyan's appearance.
Gu Xixi was horrified: ? ? ! !
what's the situation.
Gu Xixi's direct gaze frightened the young man so much that his whole body tensed up. Helplessly, he pleaded with Gu Xixi in a low voice, "This lady... please don't look at what is improper, please don't look at what is improper."
Gu Xixi realized what was happening and immediately turned around to burrow into the nearby reeds, not even noticing that she was clumsy and awkward.
Gu Xixi was internally devastated: [Brother Tong, where did you get yourself here?]
Why did she see a naked man when she traveled back in time? Although she didn't see him completely, it was still incredibly unbelievable.
Moreover, he looks exactly like Shen Qingyan.
[According to system detection, we have currently arrived in Qingcheng County, Bei'an Prefecture, during the Great Huang Dynasty, when Shen Qingyan was seventeen years old. To correct the system error, the time rewind duration can be adjusted from five hours to 24 hours.]
Gu Xixi: No, not at all.
"You... if I meet him now, wouldn't that change the course of history? Is that alright?" Gu Xixi asked again.
[After you leave, the system will automatically erase all traces of your existence, so please rest assured.]
【Okay.】 Gu Xixi squatted in the reeds, her back to the riverbank, afraid of seeing something she shouldn't. Little Shen Qingyan it is.
Parting is always painful, but every reunion brings joy.
A few minutes later, she heard the voice of the young man Shen Qingyan behind her. His voice was clear, steady, and contained a hint of displeasure.
“Young lady, this place is remote and it’s already late afternoon, less than two hours before sunset. It would be safer for you to go into the city sooner. If you trust me, you can follow me into the city, and I can look after you.”
Gu Xixi stood up. Shen Qingyan had been a gentleman since childhood; even after being seen naked, he still knew to consider the plight of a woman alone.
So she went out and bowed to Shen Qingyan, saying, "I am new to your esteemed place and do not know the way to the city. I will trouble you, young master."
Shen Qingyan was only 17 years old at the time, while she was 23. It felt strange.
"No need for thanks, young lady. Just follow behind me and keep a distance of about two zhang." Shen Qingyan returned the bow, showing maturity beyond his years.
His blue robe was old but clean, and it fluttered in the river breeze, giving him the air of a pine tree.
Shen Qingyan was also observing her. A woman traveling alone, with a beautiful face that she didn't bother to conceal... She must be a rich young lady who ran away from home, that's why she's so naive.
Gu Xixi then noticed that he was carrying several large river fish.
So Shen Qingyan used to go fishing in the river when he was young?
This was completely different from his later composure and maturity; it felt like he had come alive again.
Unexpectedly, he was quite skilled at catching fish. This one weighed about three or four pounds, and he caught four or five of them, all of them still alive.
After nodding to Gu Xixi, Xiao Shen Qingyan walked ahead to lead the way, and Gu Xixi, carrying her backpack, quickly followed.
Every time she tried to catch up with Xiao Shen Qingyan and get closer, he would quicken his pace, she would slow down, and he would slow down as well.
In any case, Xiao Shen Qingyan always kept a distance of about two zhang from her.
This person... really meant two zhang when he said it... Gu Xixi laughed.
She started teasing him on purpose, sometimes walking fast and sometimes slow.
Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Shen Qingyan turned around, her eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness.
Gu Xi suppressed a laugh, caught up with him, and walked beside him with a pitiful expression, "Young Master, we are too far apart, I am really scared to walk behind alone."
