The reason Xu Fu and the others agreed to join them was all thanks to Su Muqing. The villagers of Houxi Village had no prior dealings with them, so they had no reason to protect them.
If they truly wanted nothing in return, just to silently contribute, it might lead some ungrateful villagers to believe that Xu Fu and his group were eager to protect the people of Houxi Village.
Old Third and the others going out to search for supplies was considered Su Muqing’s family's quota. This was also a little trick of hers. It was equivalent to her exchanging spiritual spring water for their efforts, so both families contributed and both received something. Neither side lost out.
“Alright, I’ll watch Xuan Ge’er. You all go rest for a bit. There’s still something to do later! Look at Xiao Rong, her eyes are almost closing.” Madam Wang called to them to rest. Madam Wang sighed in her heart. Alas! When it was time to distribute the goods later, who knew how much fuss there would be!
She didn’t know what was wrong with this girl. Was she too stimulated by the events of the past two days? Why had she suddenly become so opinionated? In her opinion, it was better to have fewer troubles than more. Everyone should just live their own lives.
The three of them lay down on the straw mats. Lin Rongrong was indeed sleepy and fell asleep in a short while. Su Cuiping felt there were mosquitoes and got up again to apply some mosquito repellent.
Su Muqing, with her consciousness, quickly entered the space. The boxes from the morning hadn’t been opened yet, and the three transactions for the day hadn’t been made. Distributing goods in the afternoon would take more time. She felt she was quite busy today!
After Su Cuiping finished applying the medicine, she wanted to chat with her for a bit. But when she looked over, Muqing seemed to have fallen asleep too? Were they all that tired? Then she would sleep as well!
At this moment, Su Muqing, inside the space, looked at the axe in her hand with a little panic. Had she entered the wrong place? Why had her body followed her in?
It was over, it was over, it was over. Suddenly, a person transformed! They would definitely think she was a monster! Su Muqing, nervous, dropped the axe and her consciousness exited the space. She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up abruptly.
Su Cuiping had just lain down. Seeing her flustered expression, she quickly sat up and leaned closer, asking, “What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”
Su Muqing saw only curiosity in her expression, not fear. The people around were all busy with their own tasks, and no one was paying attention to them. So she tentatively asked her, “I just had a nightmare. I dreamt that I disappeared completely. I just vanished suddenly. Did you see me just now?”
Su Cuiping looked at her with a confused gaze for a few moments, then reached out and felt her forehead. “You don’t have a fever! Why are you talking nonsense? Hurry up and sleep! You’re not a monster, nor are you an immortal. How could you suddenly disappear? Do you think it’s a magic trick?” After saying that, she stopped paying attention to her and lay down to sleep.
So, entering the space with consciousness could also form the appearance of the physical body? Just like the real person! It had scared her half to death! She then lay down again and, with her consciousness, entered the space once more.
After adjusting her breathing, she picked up the axe she had just dropped and swung it forcefully at the cleaned wooden box.
“Clang, clang, clang…” She couldn’t help but complain. What a delicate body. It actually took a few chops to break open. She completely omitted the fact that her aim was poor and she always hit off target.
Putting down the axe, she lifted the lid of the wooden box. It really had some weight.
“I x…” Su Muqing suddenly sat up again, her mouth spewing out a beautiful piece of national heritage.
“What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare again? Did you fall asleep so quickly just now?” Su Cuiping looked at her with disbelief. Hadn’t she just lain down?
The others, hearing Su Muqing’s exclamation, also poked their heads over to look. She quickly covered her mouth and shook her head, indicating she was fine.
In just this short time, she had experienced fright and surprise! It was too exciting!
See! This morning she was afraid that if she saw too much wealth, she wouldn’t be able to control herself, which was why she chose to enter the space herself to look. As expected, she couldn’t control herself just now!
Su Muqing calmed her emotions, then lay down on her side again. Lying flat always made her reflexively sit up. It was better to lie on her side! This way, even if she wanted to jump up, she wouldn’t be able to. The most important thing was still to control herself!
Looking at the box filled with gold, even though she knew it wasn’t a dream, Su Muqing still forcefully pinched her thigh. But because she was in a state of consciousness, she couldn’t feel the pain.
Wow! Just this one box of gold was a huge profit. In comparison, that bag of silver seemed insignificant. How many times was this compared to the silver?
