Chapter 293 Mending Clothes

Gu Nian looked at Chun carrying the water ghost on her shoulder and sighed helplessly.

"Aren't you a little... huh?"

"You should take this thing back first. Why do you have to carry it on your shoulder?"

"If you're that energetic, I'll clear out two fields behind the base later and put a plow on you so you can plow two acres."

Chun activated Yan Hua to send the water ghost off her shoulder, then looked at Gu Niandao.

"Boss, when is the next scene in the script?"

"Soon, about a week from now."

"Could you give me a spoiler in advance?"

"I've seen people who don't want others to spoil the plot, but I've never seen someone actively ask for spoilers."

Gu Nian closed his eyes, and after a while, patted Chun's shoulder and said.

"Give the Ghost Whisperer to Shigure tomorrow."

"Timely rain is needed after today's script."

"Is there another new script?"

Gu Nian nodded.

"Um."

"That script is related to the First Emperor's underground palace that you once visited."

"There's no place for us in the script, but we can still help out."

"Pay attention to the little girl named Liu Yu in the Hunters; she is the most important turning point in this story."

"This little girl is related to the two endings of this script. The worst ending is that Shigure will start a Shura chaos and break through the Northern Base by herself."

"Even the best outcome won't be much better. After that script ends, Shigure's bounty overseas will reach a staggering 10 billion."

"And what about the next part of the script?"

Gu Nian took out a revolver, loaded it with a bullet, and fired a shot into the sky.

"Hunting gods in the heavens, all hunters rebelled."

"War of national annihilation".

"Destroyed a country? Which country was destroyed?"

"You just need to know that it's not the land we're standing on."

"As for the rest, you can read them yourself once the script is started."

……

The hunters looked at the extremely dry mountain, and then Shigure seemed to remember something. After leading everyone down the mountain, he said...

"Boss, I have a great idea."

"put."

"How about we just flatten this mountain?"

Everyone turned to look at Shi Yu in shock, including Bai Yu.

Shigure reached out and scratched his head, revealing the muscles beneath his cloak.

"After being messed with by those two, this place is so dry it could turn into sandstorms."

"This hill is probably ruined anyway, so we might as well level it and make use of that empty space."

"Do you have a solution?"

Qi Wu turned to look at Shi Yu, who then activated the Ace of Spades' reverse decomposition ability, directly disintegrating the entire dried-up mountain.

"The ability of the Ace of Spades to reconstruct is decomposition. With my current strength, leveling a mountain is not a simple matter."

"You brat, you leveled this mountain without even asking me?"

Qi Wu gave Shi Yu a flick on the forehead, and Shi Yu covered the spot on her head where she had been hit.

"Keep pretending, boss."

"Your expression practically begs me to flatten the mountain, you just can't bring yourself to say it."

I despise you!

"Damn it, you brat, don't you dare run away!"

"Everyone, grab that kid! Today I'll teach him a lesson!"

But how could anyone possibly catch up with Shigure, who was running away? As one of only three hunters with the ability to fly, Shigure was much faster than Li Shun and Qi Wu.

Guan Yun's Remnant Fire Mech was unable to arm itself due to exhaustion of energy, so Bai Yu was even less likely to be able to. It was good that she didn't side with Shi Yu and beat them up.

When everyone returned, they bumped into Qi Wu's mother-in-law, who was putting a gray coat that Qi Wu had worn on Shi Yu.

Shi Yu had already taken off her black cloak and hung it on the clothesline, while Gu Yue was helping Shi Yu brush off the dust.

Looking at Shi Yu's cloak, which was somewhat tattered from the battle, Gu Yue said with heartache.

"Little Rain."

"I know it takes a lot of money for you to support a family of two, but you can't keep putting yourself through this."

"This cloak is so tattered, I'll mend it for you properly later."

"My sister-in-law opened a clothing store. She'll bring you some clothes tomorrow."

"Although there are no adults at your home, Liu An and I are here."

"You've had a tough time in the past. Even though you're doing well now, you still need to remember to take care of yourself."

Shi Yu scratched his head and looked at the black cloak.

"This is what my family left me."

"This is a gift that should have disappeared twelve years ago, but I received it twelve years later."

"The reason my cloak is tattered is because I used it in my Asura form and it was burned by Asura karmic fire."

"I'll trouble you to help me replenish my energy, sister-in-law."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."

Just then, a kind voice rang out, and Gu Yue turned her head to see her mother walking over with some black needles and thread and a pair of reading glasses.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

The old man took a chair, took off Shiyu's cloak, and laid it flat on his knees.

"Let me help this little boy mend his cloak."

"I've been a tailor for over forty years, so mending this child's cloak is no problem for me."

"I, as an old woman, also want to see if my skills have become rusty."

"Then we'll have to use your cloak to verify it, little one."

Shi Yu smiled and said nonchalantly.

"Please go ahead."

"This cloak is already tattered beyond repair, it can't get any worse."

The old man smiled, put on his reading glasses, threaded the needle, and began to sew carefully.

The old man's skillful hands moved like butterflies, and in less than half an hour he had repaired Shi Yu's tattered cloak until it looked brand new.

"Oh dear, it seems this old woman's cooking skills haven't gotten rusty yet."

"Come on, little one, try it on."

Shi Yu took the cloak from the old man and put it on. Looking at the brand-new cloak, she couldn't help but smile.

"As expected of you."

"I've heard Nan Nan say before that you made all her clothes when she was little. The old tailor's skills are indeed well-deserved."

"Hehehehe."

"I just like mending clothes, it's nothing special."

"Nan Nan's clothes when she was little were indeed made by cotton I specially grew. After all, I trust handmade products more than those baby products that I don't know what they are made of."

"I'm glad you're happy, child."

At that moment, the three little ones appeared out of nowhere, crawled into Shigure's cloak, and climbed up Shigure's body.

Shiyu gently peeled the three little ones off one by one through the cloak, then took off the cloak and hung it back on the clothes rack before nodding to the three little guys on the head.

"What are you three doing here, having a good time?"

Qi Nannan held the tortoiseshell kitten, which had grown quite a bit, in her arms and said with a smile.

"Brother Shiyu, could you cook lunch today?"

Liu Yu nodded and said seriously.

"It's been a long time since we've had my brother's cooking. Ever since he learned to cook from Mom, I feel like his already delicious cooking has become even better."

"Alright."

Shi Yu looked around at the trees and found some vines. She pulled them down and wove them into a basket.

"Sister-in-law, where is your vegetable garden?"

"I'll go pick some vegetables and come back to cook."

Gu Yue pointed to a large, lush green area not far away.

"They're all there."

"The vegetables and everything inside are all grown perfectly, ready to be picked and used immediately."

"There's a stream across the vegetable garden. Let Nan Nan take you to find it."

"The water in the stream is clear spring water flowing down from the mountain; you can wash vegetables in it."

"Let's go!"

Shi Yu waved her hand, and then Bai Yu ran over and stood next to Shi Yu.

"I want to go too!"

"Okay, okay, let's go together."

Watching the five figures gradually walk away, Liu An put his arm around Yu Yan's shoulder and said.

"Not bad."

"This kid is becoming more and more like the head of the family. I never thought that the sickly boy from six months ago would be so reliable now."

"That's right. Back then, no one could do anything about the cancer that this kid had. If the country hadn't had treatment options, he probably wouldn't have even joined the Hunters."

Qi Wu lit a cigarette, and then Gu Yue rushed over, snatched the cigarette from Qi Wu's mouth, and stomped it hard on the ground.

"Didn't you hear me say I should smoke less?"

Just then, Li Shun and Da Niu, who were about to smoke, saw Qi Wu's miserable state after being yelled at and silently put their cigarettes back into the pack.
