Chapter 42 The poor bastard holding the golden bowl

  "Thank you, mother!"

  Caiwei replied, but her mind was in a state of detachment. What just happened was too fantastic. She had never thought that such a good thing would happen to her. It took a while for her to recover from the huge surprise.

  "What are you thinking about? Why don't you come up to sleep?"

  Mother called out while holding the oil lamp. Caiwei came back to her senses and saw that Fei'er had taken off her clothes and curled up in the quilt. The red hairband was also untied, carefully folded and wrapped in a handkerchief, and placed on the pillow. Mother's cotton pants had been taken off and she was calling her with her coat on.

  "Hehe, nothing, I'll go to bed now!"

  She laughed dryly twice, got on the kang, took off her clothes, and got into the quilt.

  "You've been running all day, you must be tired? Go to bed early." Mrs. Du grumbled, blew out the lamp, fumbled to take off her cotton jacket, and went to bed.

  Caiwei lay on the kang, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Listening to the gradually even breathing of her mother and her brothers and sisters, she estimated that they were already asleep, but she still did not dare to enter the space. What if someone got up at night and saw that she was gone? Even if she had a mouth full of mouths,

  she could not explain it clearly! She lay on the kang honestly, thinking about what happened today. To be honest, it was an accident that she got this magical space. At the beginning, if she had not scared the horse and caused the old beggar to be hit, she probably would not care about the old beggar's life or death, and naturally she would not get the mirror containing the space; if the old beggar had not died tragically, she would not have thought about setting up a nursing home to atone for her sins, and naturally she would not be recognized by the beasts in the space and open the space for her.

  Everything seemed to be destined in the dark. It seemed that she must do more good deeds in the future to benefit the people of the world, so as to live up to the instructions of Ci Hai Zhenren and the recognition and trust of the four beasts in her!

  Thinking of charity, she thought of the yellow and white things that were necessary for charity. Her mother called her in a hurry just now, and she had not had time to check other rooms in the space. She wondered if there were things like warehouses there, boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, piles of silk and satin, countless antique calligraphy and paintings, and endless rare treasures...

  If there were, would she no longer have to worry about money in the future...

  Thinking of this, she opened her eyes and used her inner vision to check the space. When her eyes passed the bedroom where she slept and entered a room similar to a warehouse, she was shocked again. The

  small bamboo house, which was not much bigger than her own house, actually had a warehouse the size of an auditorium. There was no gold, silver and treasures in the warehouse that she hoped for, only rows of shelves from bottom to top, the shelves were divided into small grids, and each grid contained a small wooden box with the name of the item in the box written on it.

  Those boxes contained seeds of some plants, seeds of various colors, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and medicines.

  She remembered that Baimei had said that the parrot was a handyman who was specifically looking for species for Cihai Zhenren. It seemed that this great god was obsessed with farming after practicing, so he collected so many seeds...

  But where were the gold and silver treasures?

  Doing good deeds requires real gold and silver, so what are the uses of these seeds? Caiwei was disappointed and went to check another room.

  This room was an alchemy room. The brass alchemy furnace inside was more than one person tall, and there was a raging flame burning underneath. The old turtle was holding a cattail leaf fan, sitting by the furnace, fanning the fire slowly. On the four walls of the alchemy room, there were also shelves with partitions. The shelves were filled with small porcelain bottles with the names of the elixirs on them. Caiwei took a general look and saw some hemostatic pills, Mingmu powder, and tonic pills. She was not interested in these, so she went out to find Baimei.

  Baimei was drinking water by the stream. He felt Caiwei's presence, scratched his ear with a smile, and said, "Master, what's up?"

  Caiwei communicated with it with her mind: "Longmei, let me ask you, did the Taoist Cihai leave gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings on the island?"

  Changmei raised his fist-sized face proudly, stroked his long eyebrows, and glanced at Caiwei: "Master, the Taoist is an immortal, how could he love the worldly yellow and white things?"

  "So, that means, there are none?"

  "Of course - no!"

  "Ah!"

  Caiwei couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that she was destined to be a poor bastard guarding a treasure mountain! There are

  many valuable objects in the space, such as the red sandalwood and golden nanmu in the forest, the ginseng as thick as an arm everywhere, the exotic flowers and plants planted in the yard, and those rare and precious fruits that are not common to humans, but how can these things be exchanged for silver?

  Think about it, dragging out a precious golden nanmu and saying that it was found in the mountains and forests, this is not realistic! Or, she took out a hundred-year-old ginseng and said that it was picked in the mountains. It was very fake. There were wild boars in the mountains and no one dared to go up easily. How could she pick a hundred-year-old ginseng as soon as she went up? As for the exotic flowers and rare fruits, they were not what should be available at this time of year. If they were taken out, it would be strange if the government didn't take them away as monsters!

  What bad luck! It doesn't feel good to beg for food with a golden bowl in hand!

  It

  seems that she can only fend for herself! At that moment, Caiwei decided to pick some practical seeds from the warehouse and plant them. The water and soil in the space are all spiritual. After the things are planted, they can mature and be harvested in a few days. With grain and rice, there is no need to worry about money?

  "Master, do you want to farm?" Changmei sensed Caiwei's thoughts with his mind and asked.

  "Yes, Changmei, help me get some wheat, rice, and seeds from the warehouse, and some beans, such as soybeans, peanuts, mung beans, etc. Oh, vegetables, etc., take some, and wait until dawn, I will go into the space to plant."

  "Space? What space?" Changmei raised his eyebrows, with a curious look on his face.

  "Our Fuyou Island is the space. Here, such a place is called space. From now on, our Fuyou Island will be called space." Caiwei briefly explained to Changmei, and began to plan the farming in her mind...

  Caiwei felt that she would definitely not be able to sleep, but thinking about it, she actually fell asleep in a daze.

  The next day, when the sky was bright, the chickens in the village pulled their necks to wake Caiwei from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes, breathed a sigh of relief and sat up. Suddenly, a gust of cold air blew into her thin undergarments. She shuddered and hugged her shoulders. She missed the warm spring-like temperature and the fresh and humid air in the space.

  "Wei'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze again?"

  Mrs. Du also woke up. Seeing her daughter's thoughtful look, she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

  "It's okay, I just didn't sleep well." Caiwei was wearing a coat and fooling around.

  Mrs. Du didn't think much about it. While putting on her clothes, she said, "If you didn't sleep well, just sleep a little longer. I'll make breakfast!"

  Caiwei entered the space with the purpose of cooking. How could she agree to her mother's request? She hurriedly said, "You should make your clothes. The New Year is coming soon. Let us wear new clothes for the New Year!"
