Late at night, Yezhi lay awake, her nose filled with the scent of smoke from mugwort. The cold moonlight seeped through the cracks and fell upon her. The dozens of baskets of peaches from Team kept swaying in front of her eyes. With so many peaches, relying solely on the village's two horse-drawn carts for transportation seemed a bit precarious. The villagers trusted her so much that she had to ensure the peach-selling venture went smoothly.
Logging in with her consciousness, she found herself in an endless grassy field, lush and glistening as if freshly watered. Xiao Fang sat on the grass, alternating between laughter and sighs. Upon seeing Yezhi, she bounced in front of her, beaming with a big smile and said, "Master, hee~hee, you’re here!"
Yezhi rolled her eyes at Xiao Fang: "What nonsense! Your master is standing right in front of you, and you still ask!" Xiao Fang was so scatterbrained that she didn’t even know what was going on at that moment. With a grin that made her eyes round, she said, "Master, the 5 million from Cosmic Mall has arrived!"
"Really!" Yezhi didn’t expect it to come so quickly. She had planned to check their account balances; this 5 million was like a timely rain!
"Xiao Fang, go! Go! Go shopping!" Yezhi urged cheerfully.
"Master, can we talk about buying the Pet Communicator later?" Xiao Fang wailed. What should she do? They needed to find a way to hold onto the money; if it flew away, what would happen to the seasonal supply? It was all its fault for not thinking of this sooner!
"Master, we can't spend money recklessly!" Before Xiao Fang could finish, Yezhi interrupted: "Xiao Fang, isn’t money meant to be spent? Go! Go~!"
Xiao Fang hesitated, looking pained as if parting with meat, which made Yezhi burst into laughter. Compared to the obedient Xiao Fang before, this version of her was much more lively and interesting.
"Let’s wait until the final payment for the Pet Communicator arrives; come on Xiao Fang, let’s change our vehicle first!" Xiao Fang's eyes widened. Change vehicles! Master’s safety came first above all else—seasonal supply! Sigh~! Let’s change vehicles first!
"Master, do you want to shop in the mall or online?"
As the representative of laziness, Yezhi naturally chose online shopping. She gestured for Xiao Fang to shop online. Xiao Fang opened the Cosmic Mall Website where a group of plump young girls dressed in jumpsuits rolled up to Yezhi in two lines while singing beautifully: "Welcome to Cosmic Mall!" The more Yezhi looked at them, the more they resembled that sympathetic figure who waved at her—Parola Star's Fat Woman.
Xiao Fang directly navigated to the folding vehicle page where various folding vehicles floated before them in a 360-degree view. "Master, should we choose one that’s smaller or focus on performance?" Xiao Fang was unsure how to proceed with thousands of floating small vehicles.
"Xiao Fang, shouldn’t we consider weight?"
"Master, don’t worry; folding vehicles are designed for convenient travel; being lightweight and compact is their feature!" Xiao Fang clicked on a silver-gray streamlined folding vehicle.
Entering the 3D page, a silver-gray collar appeared before them. Xiao Fang picked it up and forcefully tossed it onto the ground. With a loud "bang!", a 16-inch silver-gray folding vehicle unfolded automatically. Yezhi hopped on; it was as fast as the wind but felt flexible and soft on the seat—she didn’t feel that sense of insecurity that came with high speed. Xiao Fang reported that this folding vehicle cost 1.88 million Bodeton. Yezhi was dumbfounded; its performance wasn’t impressive—it was just a bit more comfortable and smaller when folded—what was the difference from an 80 thousand Bodeton folding vehicle? It wasn’t worth it!
Yezhi directly stated her requirement: "Xiao Fang, I want one that can carry goods; do we have any?" Hugging Square Head thoughtfully for a moment, Xiao Fang typed "miniature power vehicle" into the search bar and entered the power vehicle 3D page. Yezhi was delighted; there were all sorts of small vehicles around 80 centimeters in size—so cute! But Xiao Fang frowned as she quickly browsed through them and returned to the folding vehicle page. Yezhi looked at Xiao Fang with sparkling eyes and said: "Xiao Fang, those small vehicles are so adorable!"
"Master, we can’t afford any of them; let’s stick with folding vehicles for practicality." Disappointedly resting her chin on her hand while waiting for Xiao Fang's browsing results, after serious comparisons regarding safety and price, Xiao Fang finally selected one—a folding vehicle about the size of an adult bicycle in black that looked quite heavy with mesh baskets at both front and back and four wheels—two in front and two behind. When Yezhi rode it, it was a bit slower but still stable. "Master, this model can carry up to 300 kilograms; it's a hybrid folding vehicle!" Xiao Fang picked up two black metal plates about the size of magazines and demonstrated how they fit together for Yezhi. After looking at it and weighing it slightly—Xiao Fang said it weighed 18 pounds—costing 2.46 million Bodeton. Seeing Yezhi hesitate, she quickly assured her: "Master, this is the best option!"
Yezhi nodded, thinking that she had no choice but to buy it. Although it looked a bit ugly, it would have to do for now! Hmph! Once she had money, she would definitely get a cute motorbike to ride. Xiao Fang swiped the card to make the purchase and then closed the Cosmic Mall Website.
Yezhi exclaimed, "Xiao Fang, I still have things I haven't bought yet!"
"Master, if you buy more, you'll be overweight!" Xiao Fang said seriously, twitching its brow.
Yezhi poked Xiao Fang's square head and laughed, "You're such a miser, but I still want to buy!" Xiao Fang frowned and managed to say, "Master, what do you want to buy?"
"Help me buy some 'Yueyue Shu', 'Nutrient', and Pangwu food. Oh right, make sure to get 'Smart Beans' that Black Treasure likes. Also, look for cheap tree seeds, vegetable seeds, and grain seeds...!" Yezhi listed a bunch of items while Xiao Fang grew increasingly worried. "Master, aren't you going to pay off your debts?"
"What debts? The debt to Cilou Dog?" Xiao Fang nodded. Yezhi chuckled, "Isn't there still more than two years left? Why rush!"
Xiao Fang couldn't understand; it was almost in a panic while its master was still laughing. "Master, the quarterly supply of 8.9 million tons is about to expire, and you're not worried at all!" It had just received a voice reminder from Cosmic Bank and was almost at its wit's end!
"What quarterly supply?" Yezhi was confused; how could her master not know? Xiao Fang explained anxiously, "It's the repayment plus interest that needs to be paid to Cosmic Bank every quarter." She had signed a loan contract that required installment payments. Well... money always has to be repaid; if it's in installments, then so be it! But Xiao Fang had it tough; her master seemed completely unconcerned about this matter and was only thinking about how to spend money. Recently, Xiao Fang had been acting like a penny-pincher all for the sake of repaying debts.
Yezhi looked at Xiao Fang gently and said, "Xiao Fang, I'm so touched that you care so much for me! In the future, if there's anything, don't bear it alone; just tell me, and I'll solve it."
Xiao Fang was filled with questions. Had it ever kept anything from its master? Yezhi repeatedly reassured Xiao Fang to relax; she would find a way. However, Xiao Fang felt that its gentle master seemed a bit strange.
...
As soon as the rooster crowed, Yezhi got up from the bed and watered the vibrant vegetable garden. After waiting for a long time, Cosmic Express finally arrived. While Aunt Zhou was in the kitchen making breakfast, Yezhi placed her newly bought folding bike into a large Cloth Bag.
At that moment, the voice of Village Uncle came through the loudspeaker: "Everyone pay attention! I am the village chief; each family should send someone to help load peaches onto the cart!"
Yezhi held a Corn Cake in one hand and carried the large Cloth Bag on her back as she ran towards the Team. The Cart Master and Uncle Zhou each had a horse-drawn cart parked on the dam while everyone was busy loading willow sticks filled with peaches onto the carts.
As the first rays of dawn illuminated everyone, both carts were filled to the brim. There wasn't even enough space for Village Uncle or One Gun Brother or Big Zhu to stand. In the end, only Village Uncle followed behind the cart as they set off.
Yezhi watched as the carts gradually disappeared into the mountains, feeling anxious inside. She felt obligated to escort them into town. As kids arrived one after another for class, they greeted her! She had no choice but to put away her worries and focus on teaching the kids. After finally finishing class, Yezhi returned home and told Aunt Zhou about her decision to go into town. Aunt Zhou seemed to know she was going and even prepared some dry rations for her.
Riding her newly bought patchwork folding bike through the dense forested mountains, Xiao Fang sat in the front basket of the folding bike with an exploratory gleam in its eyes as it scanned 100 meters ahead.
"Master, Village Uncle is 50 meters ahead."
Upon hearing Xiao Fang's report, Yezhi turned the handle, and the speed of the folding bike immediately dropped by half. Both Yezhi and Xiao Fang were quite satisfied with the performance of their newly purchased folding bike; it not only had shock absorption features but could also adjust speed, making it very practical.
When they were still 20 meters away from Village Uncle, Xiao Fang activated the Light and Shadow Concealment Technique. Yezhi followed behind two horse-drawn carriages moving very slowly, getting quite a bit of dust!
Village Uncle was chatting with Cart Master, both looking happy yet anxious! Suddenly, Uncle Zhou shouted loudly, and Yezhi thought something had happened. It turned out that Fifth Uncle was singing mountain songs to entertain himself since no one was chatting with him. Surprisingly, he had quite a rustic charm. Xiao Fang and Yezhi listened with delight, and the overly curious Xiao Fang suddenly had an idea to record a segment, saying she would send it to Cosmic Record Company to see if she could exchange it for money. Yezhi looked at Xiao Fang with a teasing gaze, making her shiver with goosebumps. The master is so strange!
As the afternoon sun grew hotter, they passed a small river where Cart Master stopped the carriage to let the two horses drink water. Yezhi took this opportunity to feed the horses a few pieces of flower cakes to boost their energy!
So they wobbled along until nightfall when they finally arrived in the city. Village Uncle and the others went to stay at the "Big Cart Inn" where they had lodged last time, and Yezhi also checked into the women's dormitory.
The next day, before dawn, she sat at the registration area waiting for Village Uncle and the others. When they saw Yezhi, their jaws nearly dropped in surprise. Once he regained his composure, Village Uncle said with concern, "You girl, there's no need for you to worry; your uncle is here!"
Cart Master even gave her a light tap on the forehead, while Uncle Zhou exclaimed that it wasn't safe for a girl like her to be traveling alone at night. The three of them started scolding her one after another. Yezhi had no chance to retort and could only smile ingratiatingly until her face felt sore just to get through it.
After finishing breakfast at a roadside shop, Village Uncle went with the carriage to the Fruit Company, while Yezhi walked there but was too afraid of being recognized to enter. She waited outside the main gate, pacing back and forth.
When Cart Master and the others appeared looking cheerful, a heavy stone finally lifted from Yezhi's heart. She waved at them, and upon seeing her, Village Uncle jumped down from the carriage excitedly. "Yezhi, you did great! We have a total of 3,340 pounds of peaches; look!" He pulled out a bundle of Unity, tightly held in his arms, grinning widely.
With this matter settled, Yezhi felt triumphant and shouted joyfully at her nearly ecstatic uncles: "Let's go! I'm treating you all to a meal!" Haha~! Delicious food, here I come!
