Su Muqing attached the dropper according to the instructions. This way, the condensed spiritual spring water could flow directly into the dropper for storage. The markings on the dropper indicated half a drop and one drop. When needed, it could be squeezed out. The operation was simple and convenient.
"Note: For hosts in non-cultivation worlds. Upon initial consumption of the raw spiritual spring water, severe diarrhea will occur. (Detoxification and external application are not affected.) Daily drinking water should be heavily diluted before consumption. Reference: One drop of spiritual spring water to 10L of purified water. Please operate according to instructions."
"Host, do you wish to continue opening the upgrade gift package? The package time limit is permanent. It is recommended that the host accumulate more before opening it at once for a higher chance of obtaining rare items."
"Then I'll listen to you and not open it for now. I'll save more before opening."
"Host can control with consciousness. Transport and organize items."
Su Muqing was struggling to move things when she heard 217's humanized reminder. She tried to imagine how the items should be placed in her mind.
As expected, following her imagination, the transported items disappeared into thin air and then reappeared in the designated places.
After organizing the items, Su Muqing walked to the spiritual field. The dog was squatting on its hind legs, looking at her from the middle of the spiritual field.
As she got closer, the puppy wagged its tail and trotted over. It sniffed around her feet, as if trying to memorize her scent.
Su Muqing looked down, intending to tease the puppy. However, she saw the tattered straw sandals she was wearing, and her lips twitched!
She then shifted her attention to the coarse cloth clothes she was wearing. The clothes no longer showed their original color, covered in stains and with white marks left by dried sweat.
It was then that she remembered that this body seemed not to have taken a bath in a long time...
Su Muqing quickly reprimanded the puppy and took a few steps back. "Hey, hey, hey! Don't come any closer, don't sniff anymore. This isn't my scent. Let me clean myself up first."
The puppy was obedient and did not chase after her. It sat back down and waited for her.
Su Muqing ran to her chest and took out a set of clean underwear and long cotton and linen clothes.
Without enough water to wash her hair and bathe, she dared not clean herself up too thoroughly. So, she simply wiped herself down with wet wipes and changed into clean clothes.
However, the original owner's hair was dirty, long, and tangled. This made her a bit unbearable. So, she gritted her teeth, opened a barrel of purified water, poured it into a mouthwash cup, squeezed in a little shampoo, and washed her hair simply and frugally. She then wrapped her hair in a dry towel.
After washing her hair, her head felt much lighter. The greasy, sticky feeling was also greatly reduced. She felt much more comfortable.
Seeing that she was finished cleaning up, the puppy quickly ran to her. Su Muqing picked it up and walked to the edge of the spiritual field.
She took out a portion of dog food. It was a twenty-jin package. Su Muqing complained in her heart that this food was even more abundant than hers.
Then, according to the dosage instructions on the bag, she scooped a little into its bowl. The puppy obediently went over and started eating.
After watching the puppy eat for a while, Su Muqing used her consciousness to plant the gifted seeds in both spiritual fields. She planted wheat on one side and vegetables on the other.
"217, can you see what time it is outside now?" she seemed to have been in the space for too long. She didn't know if the villagers had started their journey.
"Answering host, it is currently 6:59 AM space time. Converting to current time, it is Chenshi. Host can choose to enable mirror mode, which allows direct observation of all situations outside the space."
Su Muqing turned on the mirror mode and saw that it was still barren outside. "I've been in here for so long, and it's only 7 o'clock? If I kept hiding in the space, wouldn't I live forever?"
Hearing her words, an alarm sounded on the screen. "Warning, warning! The space and the host are symbiotic. The host needs to survive in the small world, and the generated data will be converted into contribution for maintenance. The growth of spiritual field crops is also based on the time outside the space as the baseline cycle. If the host is passively idle, the space may be swallowed or reclaimed."
"I was just kidding. How could I live alone in here! Don't get excited, don't get excited!" Sigh! (⇀‸↼‶) It seemed the idea of being a lazy fish was not going to work. But she was indeed joking. Regardless, there was still a little milk娃 in the team.
Su Muqing took off the dry hair towel from her head, took a hair tie of her own, and bid farewell to the dog. She checked and saw that no one was outside the space.
She silently chanted "space" in her mind, and in the blink of an eye, she was outside the space. Without the constant temperature environment inside the space, the stuffy air instantly enveloped her.
If it weren't for her hair not being completely dry yet, and the fact that she could still clearly see everything inside the space even after coming out, Su Muqing would have thought that everything that had happened was just her imagination.
She tied her hair, which was seven-eighths dry, on top of her head and then coiled it into a bun.
She walked to the large pit she had just climbed out of. Looking through the gap, she could clearly see other corpses. Flies were buzzing around. She walked a little closer and could even smell the faint odor of decaying bodies.
Su Muqing felt a chill run down her spine. If she hadn't woken up in time and desperately climbed out, she would have been buried here forever!
The place where she had been lying had now slightly sunken. She moved some soil from elsewhere and quickly covered the place she had dug up.
After confirming that the pit had been filled, Su Muqing wiped the dirt off her hands with a wet wipe and then went to catch up with the main group. She remembered that the villagers had rested at the foot of Deer Ridge Mountain yesterday, in front of the dilapidated temple on the north side of the crossroad.
She walked along the main road for about twenty minutes and reached the crossroad. At this moment, the entire crossroad seemed to be divided. People fleeing together were sitting in groups.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that those people were all staring at her intently.
From a distance, she saw that the area in front of the dilapidated temple was crowded with people. Many of them looked familiar to her. They were indeed from Houxi Village. It seemed they hadn't traveled yesterday.
After confirming she was in the right place, Su Muqing quickened her pace towards the crowd...
An aunt saw a person dressed in clean clothes running towards her. When she recognized the person's appearance, she suddenly screamed loudly.
"A ghost! Su family girl has returned from the dead..." As she yelled, she pulled her child behind a man and hid.
The crowd, attracted by her scream, turned their heads and looked. They were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe and retreated one after another, hiding far away and whispering to each other.
"Isn't this the Su family's eldest daughter? Wasn't she buried yesterday? How..."
"Did she come back to see Su Mingyuan because she knew he was dying?"
"Alas! Only young master Xuan is left in the Su family now. It's truly pitiful. A baby only a few months old, I don't know if he can survive..."
"Stop talking, what if Su family girl's ghost entrusts young master Xuan to you? Will you raise him or not?"
"If there was food, I would definitely raise him. Mingyuan is a good person, but he has bad luck..."
"I didn't say Mingyuan was bad. How difficult is it to raise a child now? Don't you know how short of food it is now? Even one's own children and daughter-in-law can't be supported..."
"Alright, alright, I was just saying casually. Why are you saying so much? Isn't there anyone left in the old Su family? Is it my turn to raise him?"
Hearing her husband's words, the woman pouted. Relying on the people of the old Su family to raise Su Mingyuan's child? Wouldn't that be like giving a chicken to a weasel?
