Chapter 2 Golden Finger
Chapter 2 Golden Finger
Su Yue had no choice but to awkwardly take out her phone and scan two hundred yuan under the old monk's warm and kind gaze.
Before leaving, the old monk thoughtfully instructed Su Yue to keep it with her at all times and to let her know that he was safe.
Then Su Yue watched the old monk walk towards the next sand sculpture with that warm and kind gaze.
After returning home, Su Yue thought to herself, "Forget it, I'll just consider it a blessing." But she was also reluctant to part with the little thing she had bought for two hundred yuan.
I haven't worn any jewelry around my neck before, so I'll just wear this as an accessory.
Su Yue never expected that nothing had come with her, not even her own soul, yet this little thing had followed her.
Could this be my own cheat code?
Su Yue had read quite a few time-travel novels before, and these usually involved spatial elements.
I don't know if it's a space, or what kind of space it is. It would be best if it were a planting space, so that in this ancient time when people could starve to death, there would be no worry about food and drink.
Su Yue gripped the safety buckle on her chest and silently chanted in her heart: Go in.
Huh, why isn't it responding?
It is difficult to bind someone to their master by blood.
Su Yue looked at her hands, which were as thin as chicken claws, and really couldn't bring herself to eat them!
I had no choice but to rummage through a pile of junk and pull out a rusty sickle, carefully slicing it on my finger.
Su Yue quickly wiped the blood that had gushed from her finger onto the safety buckle.
The safety buckle instantly absorbed the blood, then transformed into a beam of light, merging into Su Yue's palm and disappearing.
After a while, Su Yue saw that in the palm of her hand where the safety buckle had disappeared, a pattern the same size as the original safety buckle had appeared.
Su Yue was so excited she almost jumped up. When the safety amulet disappeared, she thought her cheat code was gone!
She was terrified. Su Yue patted her chest with her other hand.
After catching her breath, Su Yue began to try to enter the space.
Enter the space!
Recite in your heart!
Then everything went black, and when Su Yue opened her eyes, she found herself in a space of about seven or eight acres.
Half of the space is filled with flowers and plants, while the other half is bare, with a small bamboo house at the edge of the space.
Su Yue looked around, smelled the fresh air, and felt as if she had come back to life.
I'm thinking of finding some edible seeds to plant later.
Then he got up and walked towards the small bamboo house at the edge of the space.
Only when you get closer do you realize that there is a spring next to the small bamboo house, with water gurgling out.
Su Yue glanced at it only once before pushing open the door and entering the small bamboo house.
Inside, there was only a bamboo bookshelf filled with various books.
There was a table with twenty or thirty bottles and jars on it, covered with characters that Su Yue didn't recognize, along with a small, dark cauldron and a small calligraphy brush.
A bamboo bed.
Nothing else.
Su Yue went to the bookshelf, picked up a book at random, flipped through a few pages, and found that she didn't recognize any of the books.
He put the book back in its original place.
He went to the desk again, touched the small tripod, and played with the calligraphy brush.
They then examined the bottles and jars on top of them carefully.
Finally, among so many bottles and jars, I found two bottles with some words that looked familiar to me.
Power pills.
Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Su Yue wasn't sure if it was expired, but she thought she might as well try eating one first.
"Power pills" literally means "eaten" or "taken".
Does taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill allow one to cleanse their marrow and tendons like in the cultivation stories?
Wouldn't that allow her to cultivate immortality and live forever?
But in the original owner's memories, she had never heard of a world where one could cultivate immortality!
Never mind, I'll just eat one kind at a time.
Su Yue took the two bottles and squatted down at the spring outside the small bamboo house.
He opened the bottle of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, poured one into his palm, swallowed it in one gulp, and used his small, chicken-claw-like hands to scoop up a mouthful of water from the spring and swirl the pill down his throat.
After waiting for several more minutes without any response, just as Su Yue thought that the expiration date had passed and her hopes had been dashed, she got up to go into the small bamboo house.
His legs buckled and he knelt on the ground, convulsing. His bones felt like they were being shattered by a hammer.
She didn't know how long this situation lasted, so long that Su Yue thought she was about to die from the expired Marrow Cleansing Pill, before the pain all over her body slowly subsided.
I lay on the ground for a while before I had the strength to sit up and stretch my muscles.
I found that the pain seemed to have subsided, and there was even an indescribable feeling of comfort.
The stench emanating from her body was so strong that it almost made Su Yue vomit.
Oh my god! This smells awful!
Su Yue pinched her nose, picked up the strength pill that she had thrown aside due to the pain, and poured out one pill after opening the bottle.
Quickly stuff it into your mouth and swallow it.
A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one. I've already been through the pain once, so I can bear it again.
Su Yue, who was sitting on the ground with her eyes closed, waiting for the pain to strike, found that this time it didn't seem to hurt.
After waiting a while, there was still no response.
Su Yue got up and believed that only the Marrow Cleansing Pill would cause such pain, while the Strength Pill was like an ordinary pill and had no effect.
Ignoring her own stench, Su Yue became smug and almost grinned from ear to ear.
After putting the remaining pills in the bottle back on the table in the small bamboo house, Su Yue planned to leave the space to fetch water and wash off the stench.
Let's try the effects of the "power pill".
Su Yue silently recited the words to herself.
The scene changed, and they were back in the dilapidated shed.
When I came out, I found it was still quiet outside; not a single dog barked.
Su Yue pushed open the wooden door of the dilapidated shed, her heart pounding with excitement, her hands trembling, and walked out of the courtyard.
He walked towards the well at the village entrance, which was in the original owner's memory, intending to wash off the stench on his body.
The reason Su Yue didn't want to wash at home was because the water in the house was all fetched from outside by the original owner in the morning, and the water she fetched each day was only enough for one day's use.
Under the moonlight, Su Yue carried a bucket and stealthily made her way to the well. She drew up a bucket of water, found a secluded spot, and took off her clothes, which were almost torn to shreds.
I quickly scrubbed off the stench from my body and washed my clothes while I was at it.
He quickly returned to the dilapidated shed and lay down to rest.
Thankfully it hasn't rained these past few days, and it's been hot every day, otherwise I would have frozen to death outside.
There was a faint glimmer of light in the sky this morning.
Su Yue then heard her neighbor start cursing and swearing.
Su Yue, whose head was throbbing from the noise, plopped up, rubbed her messy hair, and got up to go out.
The old lady next door, Mrs. Wang, had four sons, and her first three daughters-in-law all gave her grandsons.
Old Mrs. Wang always wanted to act like a housekeeper, but unfortunately, her first three daughters-in-law all had sons to rely on, and each one was more cunning and treacherous than the last.
Only the youngest daughter-in-law had given birth to three daughters in a row, so he lacked confidence.
She was always bullied by her whole family.
Early this morning, Old Mrs. Wang started calling out in the yard.
"Fourth brother's wife, don't you even know what time it is? Your whole family is a waste of money, all you do is sleep all day long, why aren't you up getting up to fetch water and cook..."
Su Yue squatted in the corner and listened for a while, then saw Old Mrs. Wang feel the courtyard gate being opened.
Two skinny little girls walked out; they looked like they could be blown away by a gust of wind.
One was carrying a bucket of water.
One was carrying a backpack.
Su Yue quickly ran over and grabbed the little girl carrying a basket on her back: "Xiao Hua, let's go up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables together today."
Xiao Hua nodded and said, "Xiao Yue, you go back to carrying your basket. I'll walk slowly ahead first. Otherwise, when my grandma comes out and sees that I haven't gone up the mountain yet, she'll definitely scold me and my mother again."
Su Yue let go of Xiao Hua's hand, then went back to the dilapidated shed, picked up her basket, and chased after Wang Xiao Hua.
It wasn't that Su Yue wanted to go up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables; she just didn't want her second aunt to get up and make her fetch water and cook.
