Chapter 165 - 165 Little Kong's Guide!
165 Little Kong’s Guide!
Gu Qingming poured out so many pumpkin leaves from the space. She had to find an opportunity to send them home.
On this day, it was Market Day.
Gu Qingming no longer had any enthusiasm for going to Market Day. Not only were there a lot of people and the smell was bad, but the environment was also really dirty and messy!
After going there once and shopping once, she did not want to shop anymore.
Many people from the Shi Family had gone to Market Day.
Now, most of the farm work was almost done.
The aim of this trip to Market Day was to buy some things.
When it was almost autumn, many things would be planted before autumn. It was commonly known as “falling over”.
For example, autumn watermelon, autumn peanuts, and autumn sweet potatoes.
However, the harvest from the autumn was not as good as the harvest before and after Qingming in April.
For example, the autumn watermelon was not as sweet as the one planted before and after Qingming. The autumn peanuts were also not planted before and after Qingming.
However, in the countryside, they would plant some autumn produce. One reason was that they could be consumed by the farmers themselves. Secondly, it was easier to keep autumn produce until the end of the year.
Gu Qingming’s three aunts and three sisters-in-law had to go to Market Day to buy some things. The children loved to be lively. Every time it was a Market Day day, they would make a fuss and go up, so they followed.
Her uncles and three brothers went to work in the fields.
Grandpa Shi and Grandpa Gu went out to chat with the old men under the big tree at the entrance of the village.
Grandma Shi and Grandma Gu were the only ones left at home.
Gu Qingming said, “Grandma, Grandma, I’m going out for a walk. I’ll be back in a while!”
“Are you alone?” her Grandma Shi asked. “Where are you going? I’ll accompany you, won’t I?”
She still remembered that Boss Liu might be a human trafficker.
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “Grandma, it’s fine. I’m already very familiar with the village. I can do it alone!”
Grandma Shi was still a little worried. “But… but?”
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Grandma, don’t worry. I won’t go to remote places. I’ll go to places with many people. I… I want to take a look in the fields.”
Grandma Gu smiled and said, “In-law, Mingming is not a child. She will take care of herself. Let’s not worry!”
Grandma Shi nodded and said, “Alright, you have to be careful! When you go to the fields, the ridges are relatively slippery. You have to watch your step!”
“Good!”
After Gu Qingming walked out of the Shi family, she communicated with the little fairy.
She asked, “Little Kong, I’ll find a deserted place and bring out the pumpkin leaves in the space. Can you detect if there’s anyone around?”
Kong Xingfan nodded and said, “That’s not a problem. All animals and humans will have a sense of vitality. It’s difficult to escape my nose within a hundred miles! However, the prerequisite is that you let me out!”
“Invisibility!” Gu Qingming said.
Kong Xingfan said, “Of course. If I don’t hide, what if something sees us? You’ll be in danger, and so will I!”
Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Yes, then I’ll find a place to hide.”
After all, Kong Xingfan could turn invisible, but the things in the space could not.
They had to find a place to hide and get them out.
Gu Qingming had been walking around this village with the two children these past few days and was already very familiar with it.
She also knew where the more hidden places were.
Without hesitation, she walked straight in that direction.
As she walked, she communicated with the little fairy.
The fairy asked, “What reason do you have to tell your family where the pumpkin leaves came from?”
Gu Qingming said, “I’ll say that I bought it from an old granny. It’s Market Day now, and many people are picking things to sell. It’s this season, so someone will definitely pick these things to sell.”
As for which old granny, Gu Qingming would say that she was not familiar with her. Her grandmother and the others would definitely not probe further.
Moreover, no matter how suspicious they were, it was impossible for them to suspect that she could conjure these things out of thin air.
“Yes, that’s a good excuse. But have you thought about it?” Kong Xingfan said sharply, “It’s good to use such an excuse this time, but what about next time? And the time after that? Don’t tell me you use such an excuse every time?”
Gu Qingming frowned.
This was indeed a problem.
It was a problem that needed to be resolved as soon as possible.
The things in the space grew quickly. If they grew something next time, they would definitely bring it home to try.
“Then tell me, what should we do?” Gu Qingming asked for the fairy’s opinion. “Do you have any suggestions?”
Kong Xingfan said, “Actually, I have a suggestion. I don’t know if you’ll accept it!”
Gu Qingming asked curiously, “Yes, tell me first!”
Kong Xingfan said, “There are so many fields here. You can consider planting some yourself. At that time, you can just exchange the things you want from the fields! Also, it’s best to water the things you plant outside with spiritual spring water.”
“Then there’s another problem!” Gu Qingming said sharply. “I can plant and pluck the things in the space with a thought, but my thoughts are useless for the things outside. How can I plant them here? It’s like cabbages. Do you want me to dig one and plant one? Look at my hands. Can they be used to dig vegetables?”
Gu Qingming raised her fair and tender hands.
Kong Xingfan flew up in the air.
“Pfft!” he said with a smile. “Master, are you confused?”
Gu Qingming was stunned. “What?”
“The things in my space are only for your family to eat. Are you going to exchange everything you grow with the space?”
The fairy said in amusement, “Even if you’re willing to, I won’t agree either. My master and I have a goal of planting everything in my space. If you keep changing like this, not to mention decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years, you might not be able to plant everything. After all, as you said, you can control the things in the space with your mind, but you can’t control the things outside at all.”
When Gu Qingming heard the little fairy’s words, she was stunned for a moment before she laughed.
“Hehe, I’m thinking too much,” Gu Qingming said. “Yes, only people close to me can eat the things in the space. I don’t need much. Therefore, it’s much simpler to exchange like this.”
Kong Xingfan nodded and said, “If Master develops a side business, contracting a few acres of land and watering it with some spiritual spring water, that kind of thing will definitely be sold for an astronomical price.”
Gu Qingming smiled and nodded.
However, she immediately reacted and said, “Wait. Kong Xingfan, other than drinking the spiritual spring water in the space, I haven’t eaten anything else from the space, right? How would I know if the things grown in the space are delicious?”
The spatial fairy was speechless.
If the spirit spring water was so delicious, how could the food not be delicious?
