Transmigrated into a Farmhouse: The Stepmother Spoils Her Child to the Heavens

Upon hearing this, Xiuxiu couldn't deny that she was tempted. Lin Cai had only brought over three blueprints, and they were already so stunning.

Will the next ones be even more amazing, even more astonishing, and even more irresistible?

She agreed to take her in and promised to teach her wholeheartedly, and so Xiao Chunhua was kept at Caixiu Pavilion.

There were three people when they came, but only one person left. Lin Cai turned around and went to the pharmacy to buy something to take back.

"Waiter, do you have any saltpeter?"

There was only a young boy dispensing medicine in the pharmacy; the old doctor was not there, probably out on a house call.

When the child saw a guest arrive, he thought it was someone coming to see a doctor. Just as he was about to say that the doctor was not here, he heard the guest ask if they had any saltpeter.

"Saltpeter? What's that? Is it a medicinal herb?"

Lin Cai knew there was no need to ask; the pharmacy didn't have saltpeter, which could be used in medicine. If the pharmacy didn't have it, then it was even less likely to be found elsewhere.

Lin Cai didn't know whether she should be grateful or smile bitterly, since the ancient Long Kingdom didn't have any saltpeter.

The lack of saltpeter means she can't do what she wants to do, and it also means that no one in the Ancient Dragon Kingdom has developed firearms so far.

After leaving the pharmacy, Lin Cai was somewhat absent-minded. She only realized what was happening when she bumped into someone on the road.

After she realized what had happened, she touched her purse and, sure enough, the purse containing the money was gone.

When Lin Cai found out she had been robbed, she was devastated. Damn it, if there were police here, she would have called them right away, without even bothering to chase after them.

But in this godforsaken place, there aren't even any police, let alone a public phone. How can I even call the police?

There's no reason not to chase after a lost purse. Following the thief through a maze of alleyways, the thief finally stopped.

"Huff huff huff, run! Why did you stop running? You stole my purse and brought me here. Since you can run so fast, why don't you keep running?"

"You brat, who do you think you are like?"

The thief was exhausted; he was even starting to stutter. All he had stolen was a purse.

Is it really necessary to chase him for several blocks?

He was about to open the purse to take a look when Lin Cai saw him and immediately shouted, "Stop!"

The thief's hand trembled in fright, and he looked up at Lin Cai: "I stole it, what's wrong with me looking at it?"

"That's mine, you're not allowed to open it."

The thief wouldn't listen and insisted on opening it, and then something hard and cold hit him on the forehead.

The thief, seeing stars after being hit, was still thinking before he collapsed to the ground unconscious, "How did she manage to hit me from so far away?"

Lin Cai walked over to the unconscious thief, took the purse from his hand, and was just about to bend down to pick up the frozen mineral water bottle when a pair of feet appeared in front of her.

"So you've come to stalk me now that you've recovered from your injuries?"

"We met by chance."

How credible is this statement?

Lin Cai stared at him expressionlessly. The mineral water bottle was still on the ground, and this person wouldn't let her pick it up. She wanted to pick it up, but she was afraid he would find out, so she could only question him directly.

"You say it's a chance encounter, but you don't explain it clearly. I think you're just following me."

"I wasn't following you."

"You say it's gone, but I don't believe you. I only trust my intuition."

Lin Cai stood there for a while and, realizing that the person had no intention of leaving, simply told him to leave.

"Gu Zhan, I said you were following me, and you said you weren't. So why aren't you leaving now?"

"Didn't you say you weren't following me? Then get out of my sight right now. I'm in a bad mood, so don't bother me."

"It's not safe in town right now, you're coming back with me."

"Ha, is insecurity a problem for me? What does insecurity have to do with me?"

She felt that it would be truly unsafe for her to follow him. She wondered when he had arrived, how much he had seen, and whether he had even seen her throw out the bottled water.

Gu Zhan still didn't leave, seemingly determined to send the person back. Lin Cai had no choice but to resign herself to her fate, pick up the mineral water bottle, and storm out of the alley.

What are you holding in your hand?

Lin Cai walked ahead angrily, and Gu Zhan quickly caught up. When he asked her what she was holding, Lin Cai held up the bottled water.

"Didn't you just see it? Don't you know what it is?"

"When I arrived, I saw it lying on the ground; I didn't see anything else."

"That's right. You didn't see it, how could I have seen it? You don't know, how would I know?"

"I just think this thing is pretty interesting, is it wrong for me to pick it up and study it?"

Gu Zhan frowned upon hearing this, then suddenly held out his hand: "Give it to me."

Lin Cai stopped and looked at him: "Why should I give you something I picked up?"

This guy is really something. He wanted it himself, so why didn't he pick it up earlier? Now that someone else has picked it up, he wants it back. Is he out of his mind?

"The unidentified object poses an unknown hazard. It's not safe for you to keep it with you. I'll take it to someone else for research."

Hearing what he said, Lin Cai suddenly felt like laughing. Since he wanted to give it to others to study, then let him give it to others to study.

Then she simply threw the bottled water at him.

As soon as Gu Zhan took the bottle of mineral water, he felt a chill in his hand, and then he could see clearly what was inside.

Is there a strange thing filled with ice?

But how could there possibly be ice here at this time?

Lin Cai walked for a while and realized that the people behind her hadn't followed. She stopped and turned around, only to see the people behind her staring blankly at the bottled water in their hands.

She was speechless. It was just a bottle of frozen mineral water.

Is it necessary to watch for so long?

"Hey, didn't you say you'd take me home? Are you coming or not?"

When they returned to Gu Family Village, it was already noon. Just as they reached the village entrance, Gu Zhan said that the ice there was very strange and told Lin Cai to be careful when going out in the future.

Lin Cai didn't understand why he was making himself so nervous, so after listening to him finish speaking, she simply waved her hand.

"Don't talk to me about that. The two days are almost up. Think about this."

She said two days, and she meant two days. If she doesn't see him after two days, she'll really go crazy.

Scarface's wound is healing. Gu Dachui helps him change the dressing every day. He can move now and occasionally walks out of the woodshed.

Lin Cai opened the gate and walked into the yard, where she saw Scar lying in the yard.

Gu Dachui was chopping wood not far away. She walked over and asked, "When did he come out?"

"It came out when the sun came out."

Gu Dachui stopped what he was doing. After answering, he looked behind Lin Cai and, not seeing his younger siblings, a look of panic appeared in his eyes.
