Yu Songyu spent an entire day organizing the items in her space and had to admit that Chen Dexing had a good sense of aesthetics. The furniture was all in a rustic yet elegant style, understated yet luxurious. Yu Songyu's space had transformed from bare walls to a high-end, sophisticated environment.
There must be quite a bit of money or jewelry in the safe, but unfortunately, Yu Songyu couldn’t open it yet. So much had happened recently—first being captured in Cambodia, and then rescuing abducted children alongside the police.
Yu Songyu suddenly realized how important it was to have a strong physique; at least when faced with danger, she wouldn’t be so passive. Moreover, it would be best to have a skill to rely on, like those she had seen in martial arts films, where one could use some secret technique without anyone noticing. However, she had no knowledge of such things before and didn’t even know if she had any talent in that area. Self-learning would likely be very difficult; it seemed she would need to find a master.
Yu Songyu noticed that the flowers by the pond seemed to have grown larger recently. They were colorful and vibrant; how could they appear even more brilliant after just a few days? As she approached, she was captivated by the intoxicating fragrance of the flowers.
She picked a petal and brought it to her nose to smell; the aroma was rich and sweet. Unable to resist, Yu Songyu popped the petal into her mouth and chewed it. The floral scent instantly filled her mouth.
In the next moment, she felt a refreshing flow entering her body through her mouth, coursing through her meridians. Her internal organs felt lighter as if the fatigue she had been experiencing had vanished. Could it be?
Yu Songyu quickly picked another petal and ate it; once again, she felt a wave of relaxation wash over her. She felt energetic enough to run a marathon without any issues. This was truly surprising! The flowers by the pond seemed to have special properties that enhanced bodily functions—what a wonderful discovery!
However, Yu Songyu was naturally cautious. Even if something was good, she didn’t dare to consume too much at once. She decided to wait for some time and observe how her body reacted.
She then turned her gaze toward the crystal-clear Water Pool. If these flowers had special effects on people, could the water be equally miraculous? She bent down and cupped some water in her hands, bringing it to her nose for a sniff.
The water didn’t have any particular scent, but when she tasted it, it was exceptionally sweet. After enjoying a comfortable nap on her cozy bed, Yu Songyu took some food from her space before returning to Aunt Wang's house.
"Why are you buying things again? How is your friend's father doing?"
"Well, it's much better now. These aren't bought; they were given to me for free as a thank you for my help!" Aunt Wang looked at the bag filled with flour and pork, speculating that Yu Songyu's friend must come from an extraordinary family. In this era, who could afford to give away such fine grains and meat as a gesture of gratitude?
"Aunt Wang, you keep busy; I’ll be out for a bit!"
"You just got back! Aren't you going to take a break? Aren't you tired?"
"I'm not tired; I'm off now!"
Yu Songyu felt that since she had made up her mind to live in this era, it was necessary to maintain certain relationships. At the very least, when she needed help, she wouldn't be left isolated. Or if she had something to handle, she wouldn't be at a loss for what to do.
Right now, she might need to frequently sell things in town, and it wouldn't do to keep it all a secret. Once the word got out, some busybodies in the village would surely get jealous and start gossiping. Moreover, she planned to earn some money in the future so that the village head could allocate her a piece of land to build a house.
Thus, her first priority was to improve her relationship with the village head's family; at least she needed to become familiar with them. So she took out two pairs of cotton gloves and two knee pads from her space and headed to the village head's house.
"Village Head Uncle, are you home?"
