The Road to the Rebirth of the Goddess

Chapter 9

The effect of this water gel is really extraordinary, but in just a few days, Mu Dad's legs are almost completely healed, and his daily activities at home are no longer a problem, but everyone is worried and insists not to let him Just go out to work.And the scars on Mulan's face were obviously much lighter. Muma couldn't help nagging at home every day: "What an old fairy, amazing!" Mulan also nodded seriously: "It's amazing."

These days, Mulan didn't fall down for a day. She secretly got up every night to let the jade bottle absorb water. After a few days, Mulan also had a better understanding of the jade bottle. To absorb water, there are three essential conditions: clear water, night and moonlight. One day it was raining and there was no moon in the sky. No matter how hard Mulan tried that night, the jade bottle would not absorb water. As a result, there would be no dew on the next day. .

After that time, Mulan began to think again. If there is no moon for ten and a half months during the rainy season, wouldn't there be no need for dew?Does this thing have to be used up every day?Can it be saved?While thinking this way, Mulan subconsciously put the jade bottle with the cap still plugged into the water, and unexpectedly found that the jade bottle can also absorb water. After absorbing the water, the jade bottle still condensed blue dew.

On the second day, Mulan specially left a drop and was not willing to use it. At night, she put the corked bottle into the water to absorb water, and finally found that the water condensation in the bottle was indeed a little more than usual. It seems that this thing can still be used. Saved it, Mulan was very excited about this discovery.

Looking at the calendar with one page torn off every day hanging in the main room, Mulan found that it was already August 28 before she knew it, and ten days had passed since she was reborn. There were still eighteen days left until September [-], the registration time, and Mulan suddenly felt a sense of urgency. She had to make a proper arrangement for her family before leaving home to go to college.

Since Muma said last time that the house at home was a little tilted and she wanted to repair the house for fear that it would collapse when it rained heavily, Mulan had also seriously considered this matter. In her previous life, she had indeed heard from her younger sister that after a heavy rain, The house was tilted very badly, and mud and powder would fall down at night. Later, Dad Mu went up the mountain and cut a few logs and came back to support it. It barely lasted for a few years.

This house is really dangerous if it is not repaired, but if you want to take a good rest, it will probably cost a lot of money. Maybe the savings in the bank will be filled in now, and the life of the family in the next few years before I graduate But it's all based on these savings, Mulan doesn't want to just spend on repairing this old house for nothing.

And if they stay in the village, apart from planting the few acres of land, at most they can raise two pigs and a few chickens. There is really no way to make more money to improve the family's life. Mulan feels that she must make a good plan. The whole family can move to live in the county, so that the parents can live more comfortably, and the little sister can get a better education.

It is not uncommon for people in the village to move to the county seat. Some of them have children who have grown up and found a job in the county seat and took the whole family out. Built a house and moved out.But how can someone like Mulan's family gain a foothold in the county?

During the meal, Mulan chatted with her family seemingly unintentionally: "You say, if our family moves to the county town, what kind of earning business can we do?"

Dad Mu: "I'm a rough old man. Apart from being strong, I don't know a single word. What can I do? Even if you're at the gate, people don't want you."

Mu Ma hesitated and said, "Do you sell tofu?"

Mu Mian happily interjected: "That's right, the tofu made by Mom is the best." Among other things, Mu Ma really has a good skill in making tofu. People in the village say that their tofu is delicious. Best done, tender and creamy.The few sisters didn't learn this skill very well, but the second sister, Mumei, got the true instruction from Muma.

That’s right, why didn’t I expect that, Mu Ma’s natal family has the craft of making tofu, and Mu Ma and her brothers and sisters all know this. Mulan remembers that in her previous life, after her aunt’s family bought a house in the county town, they opened a tofu shop. At the beginning, the business was good, but later, when I wanted to make money, I bought bad soybeans and made bad signs, so the business slowly declined.

Mulan exclaimed: "That's a good idea, Mom, let's just say that, let's move to the county and sell tofu. Call the second sister back to help!"

Coaxed Muma to laugh: "You child, you really know how to coax your mother."

"I'm not joking, I'm serious."

"Silly boy, let's go to the county town and sleep in the bridge hole. I heard that renting a house in the county is not cheap. It costs several hundred a month!"

"Let's not rent a house, let's buy it!" Mulan patted her chest proudly, everyone laughed and dispersed, and no one took what she said seriously.

Early the next morning, when Mulan said that she was going to enter the county seat, both Mu's father and Mu's mother were taken aback. If the child dared to tell the truth, they quickly asked Li Guozhu next door to accompany her, for fear that the child would Be lied to.

When it comes to buying a house, Mulan is indeed not talking nonsense. She remembers very clearly that in her previous life, shortly after she went to college, her little sister was stabbed in the eye. Within a few days, my aunt's family bought a house in the county, and it was a facade house in an excellent location at a very low price. My aunt said it to everyone as if she had picked up a big deal.

But after about half a year, Mulan heard that her aunt's family had sold the house again, and sold it to outsiders at a low price. Inquiring, it turned out that it was because someone died in this house, it was unlucky, and everything was not going well for my aunt's family living in it. I hated the person who concealed the truth and sold the house to them, so I sold the house by coaxing and cheating. to uninformed outsiders.

But the foreigner who bought the house lived well in that house, and his business was booming. After a few years, a developer from the city came and bought that large piece of land to develop into a It is a big commercial city, where the residents have received a large amount of compensation for demolition, and each family has been allocated a shop in the commercial city. The aunt's family who sold the house at the beginning was so regretful.

Mulan didn't believe that the house was inauspicious. She thought it was because the aunt's family had a bad heart, and she suffered retribution for doing too many bad things. Her family was a simple, kind and honest family. There were many people in the family and they were prosperous. Naturally, what was it? She is not afraid, as for the shameful matter of selling dinosaur egg fossils, Mulan wisely ignores it.

Mulan went to the county this time because of the cheap house.

She remembered that the house my aunt bought was on Renmin Road, so she went there directly as soon as she entered the county. There were no intermediaries in the small place, so she could only inquire about it by herself. She knew that the house my aunt bought was before they bought the house. The accident happened more than two months ago, so it is estimated that it was a little earlier than now. Unfortunately, there is no internet now, and Mulan doesn't have the habit of reading newspapers, otherwise she wouldn't be as confused as she is now.

No matter what, it's better to find out first. If it's really something bad, you can't be greedy for this little bargain.

Mulan found a small noodle shop, looked at it, but didn't go in, and squatted outside under the wall.

Li Guozhu glanced at her blankly, did not speak, and squatted down next to her. Beside them, there was an old man who squatted earlier, with a broken bowl in front of him, and he pulled up his clothes quite comfortably. Head down to catch lice.

"Master!" Mulan greeted first.

"Little girl." The old beggar also responded.

"Is business good?"

"It's okay, I won't die of hunger."

"What's new recently?"

"Yes, but unfortunately the old man is too old to remember."

Mulan took out five yuan from her pocket and threw it into the bowl in front of the old man: "Do you remember now?"

The old man smiled into a chrysanthemum with all the creases on his face: "I remember, I remember, the Cai family in Dongtou gave birth to a pair of twin sons last month."

"This is a good thing!"

"But people say that these twins look a lot like Wang Da next door."

Mulan gave a "puchi" smile: "This is not new, so is there anything particularly inauspicious?"

"It's an unlucky thing, but there really is such a thing." The old man raised his head and pointed with his chin to a facade with a rolling shutter in front of him. "There, there was a couple from out of town. A businessman here had a gas leak one night, and both of them suffocated to death! I heard that when they died, they took a bath together, and when they were carried out, they were all naked!"

"Did you see it?"

"How can it be, I heard."

"The landlord is out of luck, how can the house be rented out!"

"That's right! Well, it's the house of the grocery store owner's younger brother next door. His younger brother's family has gone to the city, so he rented out the house and entrusted his brother's family to take care of it. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?" Son! No, I don’t want a house anymore, I think it’s bad luck to die, so I’m planning to sell it!”

"That's not easy to sell, who wants to buy a house that has killed someone!"

"You can't say that, there are always some uninformed outsiders, or those who are taken advantage of from the countryside are willing to buy it!"

"Isn't that deceitful!" Mulan, who was taken advantage of from the countryside, said unhappily, patted her buttocks and stood up.Li Guozhu, who was holding a tree branch and drawing circles on the ground, quickly followed suit, and quietly tugged on La Mulan's sleeve: "Could you want to buy the house where someone died?"

"Which old house has never died, what are you afraid of, the price is cheap."

Li Guozhu seemed to make some sense when he thought about it, so he didn't say anything more. Although the task he received today was to prevent Mulan from being cheated, he felt in his heart that the girl was much smarter than himself, so he couldn't take the turn. He didn't want to worry about this, so he automatically changed his task to protecting Mulan's safety.
