Chapter 535: Past Life Extra Story Eight_2
That night, Yingbao returned to Jiang village.
Only after she made sure there were no abnormalities around, she walked towards her house.
Spring Lady had been watching for her daughter all morning. Spotting a figure with short hair approaching, she quickly opened the door and pulled her daughter inside.
Not only her father, mother and brother were in the house, but also her grandparents and uncles.
Seeing Yingbao, their eyes couldn’t help but redden.
After exchanging greetings, both Old Man Jiang and Jiang Dabang expressed their willingness to go with their granddaughter, but Jiang Erlang was hesitant.
He also wanted to go with his big brother and third brother’s family, but his wife was not willing.
“Your Second-Aunt and I won’t leave for the time being.” Jiang Erlang took out some Spirit Stones and handed them to Yingbao: “Baobao, you bring these. You have a spiritual destiny, these Spirit Stones will be useful to you.”
Yingbao shook her head: “No need, you guys keep it.” As long as her parents are settled, she can go to the forest to collect Spiritual Medicine for sale, and she won’t be short of Spirit Stones to spend in the future. On the other hand, Second uncle’s family, Huzi is still young, Sister Erni is just a teenager, their future living expenses and marriage costs will require money.
After several repeats of refusal, seeing that his niece was still unwilling to accept, Jiang Erlang could only sigh: “Yingbao, a few days ago, a cultivator came inquiring about you. You must be careful.”
Yingbao nodded and started helping her parents pack their stuff.
Although the Jiang family had storage bags given by Yingbao, they were of small capacity. Just packing some food and bedding would fill them.
With Yingbao’s help, the houses of Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Dalang were soon emptied.
Yingbao then asked Xiaohua to get bigger, carrying her brother and grandparents, and slowly headed into the forest.
Jiang Dalang and his wife followed closely, with their three sons and eldest daughter, while Jiang Sanlong and his wife walked alongside their daughter.
Their departure was so silent that the villagers didn’t notice anything unusual, even the village dogs were huddled in their nests shaking.
Seeing his brothers leaving, Huzi couldn’t help crying, making a fuss about going too. He was dragged inside by Leng Family and severely beaten.
Jiang Erlang coldly said, “Why are you hitting him? Isn’t it good that we stay according to your wishes?”
Leng Family raised her eyebrows, “What do you mean by that?”
“It means nothing.” Jiang Erlang pulled his son over, wiped his tear-streaked face, and said, “In a while, I will send you back to the county town, you and your sister must live well there, and don’t arbitrarily take in outsiders.”
Leng Family crossed her arms and said, “Who is an outsider? Jiang Erlang, stop talking nonsense.”
Last time, because her family had been staying in the Jiang Family’s courtyard in the county town for a while, the entire Jiang Family immediately moved back to Jiang Family village and locked all the doors.
Jiang Erlang didn’t respond, pulling his son back into the room.
Leng Family followed him into the room, still chattering incessantly: “If our house has outsiders, it’s that troublesome child we picked up, and now look, the whole family has followed her into the deep mountains and old forests to live like savages…”
“Shut up!” Jiang Erlang was angry, pointing at Leng Family and saying, “Leng Family, don’t think I dare not divorce you.”
Leng Family immediately shut her mouth, turned around and ran out of the room to cry in her daughter’s room.
As for Yingbao, she led her parents on a journey that lasted two full days, finally arriving at the small secret realm.
When they saw the scene inside the secret realm, they were overjoyed.
Old Man Jiang said, “We live here, and we won’t have to worry about the annual beast tide. Ah, it’s just too good.”
He had always dreamed of a place where he could truly live and work in peace and contentment, free from terrifying cultivators and dangerous demonic beasts.
Little did he know, his granddaughter had found him one.
Both Jiang Dalang and Jiang Sanlang were very satisfied with the place and immediately began building houses.
Yingbao created two caves in a nearby cliff, placed some tools and daily necessities inside, and helped her father and uncle gather a lot of timber to facilitate their building.
But she found a drawback. The place didn’t have a pond, which became a problem for the family’s water consumption.
Yingbao thought for a moment and then found a suitable location and started digging a pit.
Her current magic power was profound, and in no time at all, she had dug out a pit about two yards square.
Consequently, clear water continuously bubbled up from the ground.
The water also contained thin spiritual energy, which was perfect for watering spiritual crops.
Spring Lady was surprised and came over with her sister-in-law to look: “Oh, water comes so easily, Bao’er, why don’t you dig a few more?”
Yingbao nodded and dug a few more ponds about a mile away.
After digging the ponds, Yingbao left the secret realm to find fish, shrimps, and other things to bring back for cultivation in the realm.
She then went and bought a lot of lotus, water chestnut seeds, as well as various Spirit Fruit Tree Seeds.
