Chapter 292 Whose Fault?

Chapter 292: Chapter 292 Whose Fault?

Gu Youyou could only ask again, "How are you so sure that the Youying Pearl is on the person in the ancient tomb?"

Jin Zijin slightly hooked up the corner of his mouth, understanding her meaning, and sighed, "The people from Xuanzong had already found the Youying Pearl, but everyone tacitly said nothing. We received information that the State Preceptor once went out for a year and came upon an insignificant little town, and it seemed he even found a pure yin male."

He looked towards Gu Youyou, his expression becoming solemn, "Although females with the Four Pillars Pure Yin are rare, they are not impossible to find. However, pure yin males are truly one in ten thousand, almost a once-in-a-century encounter.

Men are different from women; to cultivate a man’s body into a medicinal vessel is not something that can be done with Youying Grass alone, but also requires the Youying Pearl. Thus, we speculate that he hid the Youying Pearl together with that man deep in the mountains!"

Was this the reason he came to Lotus Village in Qingshui Town?

Gu Youyou fell silent for a moment and did not speak again.

She took the medicine pot and went out, holding some silver in her hand.

She promised Sanya to buy some things when she passed by the street corner later.

Children are easy to please, but promises must not be broken.

As she was heading to the gate, Jin Zijin suddenly called out to her.

"Youyou, let Abao follow you, and come back early," he said.

It was probably because of Zhuo Qing’s arrival that he was somewhat concerned.

With her own safety at stake, Gu Youyou did not object. She nodded, gestured for Abao to follow her.

Gu Youyou had intended to buy some sugary cake that children loved, but as soon as she reached the street, she saw a vendor selling candied haws.

In such a small town, candied haws were not commonly sold, and seeing them was rare. Without hesitation, Gu Youyou bought several skewers.

It had been a long time since she had tasted such treats, and Gu Youyou also ate a skewer herself.

Sour and sweet, it actually tasted quite good.

The Gu Family early on knew that Gu Youyou had raised a dog, but they had never seen it.

This was the first time she brought the fierce-looking Abao into the Gu Family’s home.

The men had all gone out to work in the fields, leaving only those who could not work—Sanya, Meng Qiuju, and Erya at home.

It was heard that the frightened Lei Qianqian was still at the Lei Family’s, only Dabao occasionally went to see her, and they had not brought her back.

Gu Youyou’s expression darkened a bit, and she let out a cold laugh.

There was a saying that you reap what you sow, but who sowed and for whom was this retribution?

Meng Qiuju and Huang Xiangwen, the two women, stayed at home to do chores, and the to-be-married Erya was surely embroidering her dowry in the room.

When Gu Youyou arrived, Meng Qiuju was washing clothes in the courtyard, and Sanya was sitting at the side picking vegetables.

Children in farming families started working early. Sanya, not even six years old, was learning to do the chores she could handle. Picking vegetables was simple, especially since children learn quickly, and she picked it up at once.

"Sanya, Auntie!" Gu Youyou called out as she pushed open the courtyard gate.

Meng Qiuju actually did not dislike Gu Youyou that much, at least not to the extent of deliberately targeting her like Old Madam Huang and Huang Xiangwen did. Her attitude towards Gu Youyou was within normal bounds.

There is no filial child in front of a long-term sickbed—after all, who likes having a sickly person in the house? Naturally, they would wish for the sickly person to die early to avoid burdening the family, and this sick one was not even born to them.

So now that she had recovered from her illness, their repulsion towards her slowly dissipated.

"Youyou, you’re here early today," she commented.

Gu Youyou replied, "Today I only have one prescription, so it’s a bit early."

Sanya dropped the vegetables and stood up, dashing towards Gu Youyou with her little short legs spread out.

She knew her ghost sister would bring something tasty, and she had been yearning for it all day.

Seeing Gu Youyou holding strings of strange-looking things, she appeared a bit flustered and stopped halfway in her tracks.
