The Road to the Rebirth of the Goddess

Chapter 3

Mulan rushed to meet them, took the basket and began to carefully put dinosaur egg fossils in it.

"Third sister, what are you wrapped up in a ball?" Kapok asked curiously.

Mulan didn't want to talk too much, so she just answered vaguely: "It's a good thing, it can be sold for money."

Mumian let out an ignorant "oh", knowing that it would be enough to sell for money, happily lifted the basket with Mulan and walked towards home.

Along the way, he kept talking: "I have already fed the pigs, cooked the rice, pasted the cornbread, Brother Dazhu hunted a rabbit, and said he would bring a bowl of stewed rabbit meat to our family. , so I didn’t cook any more.”

Mulan looked at the little girl with a greedy face with a smile. Those little girls in the county town are still wearing beautiful clothes and leaning on their mother's arms and acting like a baby, but this little girl has already worried about the basic necessities of the whole family. up.Mulan secretly made up her mind that even if she couldn't let her live the life of a girl in the county town, she must not let her live a life where she only thought about what to do for dinner every day.

As soon as he put down the basket at the door, Li Guozhu came in, holding a large bowl of stewed rabbit meat in his hand: "Sister Mulan is back? Come, take this rabbit meat in quickly."

"I don't need so much. I'll just keep half of it. You can take it back and feed it to the ladies." This big bowl of rabbit meat probably contained more than half of the rabbits, how could Mulan have the audacity to just accept it like this.

"My family can eat as much as two people. Uncle You hurts his leg and needs to eat more good food to make up for it. Why are you being polite to me!" He said and brought it into the house and put it on the table.

When I came out, I saw a big basket by the door: "Hey, there are a lot of keels dug today, and they are all wrapped up so well?"

It's okay if you don't ask, but when you ask Mulan, you feel bad again. Li Guozhu is a generous and helpful person. Mulan's family has received a lot of favor from him. In his previous life, he got money from selling fossils, and secretly gave her 2000 yuan. When paying tuition fees, after his father became disabled, there was no male laborer in the family, and he helped with a lot of heavy work in the field. The things in this basket should belong to him, but now he keeps them for himself. It's really...

"I happen to have something to go to the county tomorrow. If your keel is going to be sold, I'll help you carry it out. It's too heavy for a girl to carry."

Mulan's heart moved, she was worried about how to sell the dinosaur egg fossils, so she simply asked Li Guozhu for help, and when the time came, the money would be shared with him, which would be regarded as compensation for him: "That's great, I was just worried about not knowing How to get it to the county to sell it, then call me when you go out tomorrow!"

"Success, no problem! Then I'll go back first."

"Well, Brother Dazhu, go slowly." Mulan said sweetly.

Hearing the girl's sweet voice, Li Guozhu sighed in his heart as he went out, the third sister of the Mu family is good at everything, but her face..., alas!
After dinner in the evening, she went to bed early, and Mulan set off with Li Guozhu just after dawn the next day. Both families were poor, and they couldn’t afford tractors for passengers in the village, and they didn’t even have a bullock cart. It takes more than two hours to walk from the village to the county, so we have to start before the sun is up, so that the road will not be too hot.

When Li Guozhu lifted the basket, he said casually: "Your keel is not light, you must have worked hard yesterday!"

Mulan smiled, and did not quietly pull Li Guozhu behind the tree until she passed through the grove outside the village, and said to him, "Brother Dazhu, I'll tell you something secretly."

Li Guozhu looked at her mysterious look and was very puzzled: "Why can't we talk about it?"

Mulan didn't argue with him, she pointed to the things in the basket and said, "These are not keel bones."

"what is that?"

"In short, it's a good thing that can be sold for money. We're going to the town to find someone to sell it quietly, and we can't let others know."

Li Guozhu nodded seemingly knowingly: "It turned out to be a treasure buried in the ground, so why did you tell me? Are you afraid that I will dig it secretly some other day?"

"It's gone. There's only so much that's hidden in the ground. I've already dug it up."

"Then why can't people know?" Li Guozhu asked puzzled.

Mulan regretted telling Li Guozhu a bit, but fortunately she didn't tell him what it was, and then she remembered that he had no sense of secrecy at all, just like in her previous life, the news that he dug up the treasure was immediately spread to everyone.

"Wealth should not be revealed, haven't you heard of it?"

"Oh!" Li Guozhu replied stupidly, but he still didn't quite understand what a face it is to make money, why can't he tell others?However, although this Mulan was young, she was a high-achieving student who was admitted to a university. He was in awe of educated scholars from the bottom of his heart. Since Mulan said this, she naturally had her reasons.

Mulan originally planned to ask Li Guozhu to help her find the boss in Hong Kong, but she didn't dare now. Seeing him like this, he must be a man who can't hide his words, so it's better to go by herself to be on the safe side.

When she arrived in the county, Mulan asked Li Guozhu to find a place to sit down and wait for her. She took a fossilized dinosaur egg and wrapped it in old clothes. She put a bundle on her back and went directly to Ruixiang Hotel, the best hotel in the county.

Fortunately, Li Guozhu did not hide his secrets back then. The news that he dug up the treasure has been rumored by the villagers for many years, and Mulan has also heard many details. For example, he found the Hong Kong boss in Ruixiang Hotel. The boss had lived in the county for several days and hadn't received anything. He was about to leave in disappointment, but Li Guozhu came to his door unexpectedly, and so on, so Mulan knew that he should be able to find Boss Zeng when he went to Ruixiang Hotel at this time.

The girl at the front desk of the hotel is a snobbish eye. Seeing Mulan's shabby clothes, she pouted impatiently: "Go, go, there's no work for you here." She saw a lot of girls like Mulan, and she didn't want to do farm work at home. She just wanted to go to the county town to find an easy job, and she didn't look at her own appearance. With such a big scar on the side of her face, anyone who would invite her would be blind.

If Mulan was really the little girl in her previous life who hadn't seen much of the world, she might have been scared away right now, but no matter what she said, she had also struggled in society, and she wasn't angry at the moment, she was generous Walked over quickly: "I'm not looking for a job, I'm looking for someone. May I ask which room Boss Zeng is in?"

"Looking for Boss Zeng?" The girl at the front desk looked Mulan up and down, "He's not here."

"I have something very important to ask Boss Zeng, can you tell me where he went?"

"Important? What important things can a country bumpkin have?" The girl at the front desk sneered. A ragged rural girl is looking for a rich Hong Kong boss. I believe you will have important things.

Mulan could also tell that this was deliberately not telling her, so she couldn't help feeling a little angry: "It's really important, please tell me Boss Zeng's room number."

"I won't tell you what's wrong with you?"

"Can you afford to delay Boss Zeng's important matter?" Mulan didn't know that coaxing her might make it easier to get the information she wanted. I can't change it, if I can be gentle with those who are close to me, but I can't be tactful with those who are not good to me.

The girl at the front desk lowered her head and fiddled with her nails, and said indifferently: "Our hotel has regulations, and we cannot disclose information about guests at will."

"Okay then, I'll wait here for him to come back." Mulan was about to go to the sofa in the lobby and sit down, when the girl at the front desk yelled, "Hey, hey, don't sit around, be careful of getting dirty, you have to wait until the door Go squatting. Country bumpkin, don't know anything!"

"Hey, the little girl is eating firecrackers, so she has such a temper?" A smiling middle-aged fat man came down from the stairs, just in time to meet the girl at the front desk who was angrily cursing, and couldn't help but joked.

The girl at the front desk immediately put on a flattering smile: "Boss Zeng, are you up?" She pointed at Mulan angrily, "It's not like those bumpkins, they don't know the rules at all."

"Oh?" Boss Zeng, who was chubby like a Maitreya Buddha, took a look at Mulan. Seeing that the master had arrived, Mulan hurried up and said in a crisp voice, "Boss Zeng, I have something to ask you."

"Oh? What is the girl looking for?" Boss Zeng didn't look down on her because of her appearance. Instead, he asked Mulan kindly in the same manner as he had just said to the girl at the front desk.

Mulan pointed to the bundle of old clothes in her hand, and said in a low voice, "I have some things dug up from the ground here, you will definitely be interested."

"Come up with me." Boss Zeng narrowed his eyes, obviously interested.He has been staying in this small town for several days, and rumors that he wanted to collect some good things have already been released, but he only collected a lot of scattered dinosaur bones sold by the villagers as medicinal materials. Fossils, but there are none of the good things that are whole and decent.Although Mulan doesn't look like she has any good things, it's better than nothing, and it's good to try her luck. Boss Zeng has no good in his life, he just works hard, so his luck has always been good.

When Mulan followed Boss Zeng upstairs, her legs were shaking. It wasn't that she had the guts to follow a strange man into a hotel room, but that the thing in her hand couldn't be taken out casually. There is also a small knife in his pocket. When it is really impossible, the worst is to fight to the death.

Fortunately, Boss Zeng was also a serious businessman, so he asked Mulan to show him what was in his hand as soon as he entered the door. Mulan looked around for a week, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she put the clothes bag on the table and opened it carefully. Come on, push back the blades of grass inside to reveal the dinosaur egg fossils.

Boss Zeng was still smiling. Mulan, who had been paying attention to his expression, did not miss the sudden flash of light in his eyes.
