Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Upon hearing the sound, Chu Chen quickly got up.

Looking up, I saw it was none other than a young widow from the village named Gu Xiufang.

She is about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

She was also a woman with a tragic fate, having married into Mashan Village from outside the village.

Unexpectedly, three or four years ago, her husband died in an accident while working away from home.

She was left alone to raise an elderly, lame mother-in-law, struggling to make ends meet.

The family consisted of two women who were constantly bullied by the villagers. Even Ma San had climbed over people's walls quite a few times.

But whether it was because Gu Xiufang was too strong-willed or because she looked down on Ma San, Ma San never succeeded.

"Sister Xiufang, it's already winter, what are you doing all alone in the mountains?"

Chu Chen got up and asked back.

"I was just thinking of coming to the mountains to pick some wild produce to supplement our family income. What are you doing here?"

"Ha, I'm hunting a rabbit. My house is under construction and it's too noisy, so I thought I'd come here to get some peace and quiet."

Chu Chen spoke honestly, and looking at the woman in tattered clothes in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

So he said to her, "Sister Xiufang, this mountain is not safe. What if you, a woman, encounter wild boars or tigers?"

Gu Xiufang took the basket off her back and walked to the pond while chatting with Chu Chen.

Although the weather was cold, she must have walked for a long time, as she was sweating slightly.

He pulled a towel from behind his back, soaked it in cold water, and wiped his face and neck with it.

While wiping, he said, "I can't compare to you. My family is almost starving. The harvest has been bad these past few years. If we don't come out to earn some money, we'll go hungry in the winter."

Looking at the young woman in front of me, to be honest, she was taking care of an elderly woman with limited mobility in this era where people relied entirely on the meager harvest from the land.

If there isn't enough food before winter, one can imagine how difficult life would be throughout the winter.

When I was spending money recklessly before, I was so poor that I didn't even have a single grain of rice.

At that time, Gu Xiufang would occasionally take Li Qinglian to do chores, such as digging for wild vegetables and gathering mountain products in the mountains.

Chu Chen pondered deeply: "Why don't I help them myself?"

So he said, "It's alright, sister-in-law. If you don't have enough to eat in winter, just go to Qinglian. I have grain at home."

"That's great! I heard you've made a fortune. You've not only bought a mule cart but also built a big house. If I go to your house to borrow grain every day, Qinglian will probably miss me terribly."

Gu Xiufang said shyly, "But if Chu Chen can really help us this winter, then this winter will be much easier."

"What are you thinking, sister-in-law? I, Chuwazi, am not like Ma San. Don't worry about me."

Chu Chen thought to himself that this woman still had some reservations and was afraid of gossip.

Seeing Chu Chen say this, Gu Xiufang washed the sweat off her face and neck and decided not to leave.

He walked towards Chu Chen.

Huh, what's going on? I may not be a scoundrel like Ma San, but I can't resist a young woman in her early twenties like you.

As Chu Chen watched Gu Xiufang approach, he thought to himself.

“How can Ma San compare to you? I’m not bragging, but if I wanted to remarry, I would have done it long ago. But if I did remarry, my mother-in-law would be doomed.”

After saying that, she sat down on Chu Chen's air mattress without any hesitation.

"Hey, Chu boy, what's this good stuff? It's so soft."

Gu Xiufang plopped down on it, then immediately stood up – it was so soft!

Seeing Gu Xiufang's startled expression, Chu Chen quickly explained.

"This is called an air mattress, it came from across the ocean."

Gu Xiufang tentatively touched it with her hand before sitting down again.

It seems this Chu kid has really made something of himself, even managing to bring things from across the ocean.

So he turned to Chu Chen and said, "Chu boy, you really know how to enjoy life, bringing this thing all the way to the mountains. What, you didn't bring Qinglian along?"

Chu Chen seemed to hear the roar of an engine. Could it be that this little wife was going to drive me?

In this desolate wilderness, placing such a soft mattress here must be either out of sheer boredom or for some other purpose.

Gu Xiufang, having been through similar experiences, immediately grasped the crux of the matter.

He thought to himself: Could it be that this Chu kid is following me and is deliberately waiting here?

In the three years since her husband passed away, she has been harassed by many men in the village.

But he himself looked down on those roughnecks.

Although this Chu boy was a spendthrift in the past, he is fair-skinned and handsome, so it's not impossible for him.

"You go hunting, fine, but why bring this thing along? And you didn't bring Qinglian? What, are you waiting here for your sister-in-law?"

Gu Xiufang asked bluntly.

Chu Chen: I came here to hunt a rabbit, how did it turn into waiting for you?

However, looking at the young woman in front of me, I guess she has a particularly good figure, probably due to years of hard work.

The big parts are big, and the small parts are small. Perhaps it's because she's been in the mountains, but the few strands of messy hair on her beautiful face give her a unique charm when she smiles.

So I got interested, since I had nothing better to do anyway.

"Oh, your sister-in-law found out about this. This is especially for you."

After saying that, he patted the soft mattress.

"Chuwa, you've gone astray! I heard from Qinglian that you haven't touched anyone yet. Is it because you're impotent?"

Chu Chen: This is fucking provoking me, absolutely provoking me.

So he gave Gu Xiufang a deep look, and then followed her gaze downwards.

"Can't do it? You try if you dare."

Feeling Chu Chen's burning gaze, Gu Xiufang also felt a little restless, after all, she had been holding back for three years.

So he started to get bolder: "Sister-in-law, you've been through this before, why don't I check out Qinglian's goods?"

After saying that, she reached out to grab Chu Chen, but Chu Chen easily dodged Gu Xiufang's clutches.

What a joke! You think you can win me over with just a few words?

I may be romantic, but I'm not vulgar.

So he quickly said, "Sister-in-law, you're too impatient. This place is deserted. If you really provoke me, don't blame me for being ruthless and cruel."

"What's the use of just saying it? You try it and see. I don't think you can do it. You'll have to talk to Qinglian when you get back. Now that we have money, we should give you some supplements."

Gu Xiufang said to Chu Chen with a grin, her eyes full of eager anticipation.

Damn it, it's the dead of winter, you're not afraid of the cold, but I am!

After saying that, Chu Chen stood up with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Alright, sister-in-law, stop teasing your little brother. He's perfectly normal. It's too cold here. Next time, I'll set up a tent."

Gu Xiufang also wanted to tease this handsome and wealthy young man in front of her; she wasn't such a casual person, was she?

So he said to Chu Chen, "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Go home early, or Qinglian will get worried."

After saying that, he wiggled his big buttocks, picked up his basket, and was about to leave.
