Chapter 219

Lu Qiaoge was stunned for a moment.

Were there really that many?

The old turtle could count, so it shouldn't be wrong.

So, the few boxes originally mentioned had turned into eleven boxes?

At this time, the big pike and the old turtle swam back.

The big pike discovered that its speed and flexibility were even better than before.

So it poked its big head out of the water. Lu Qiaoge saw that it was actually carrying something in its mouth.

Lu Qiaoge took it. It had some light, but it was covered in mud and water rust, so she couldn't tell what it was for a moment.

The big carp said: 【Shiny, this is shiny, it's from one of the boxes.】

Lu Qiaoge brushed it in the water. At first, she thought it was a silver dollar, but after cleaning it, she found it was a silver cake, the size of a small cookie. Because of the long time, she couldn't see the full appearance of the silver cake, but it was actually just silver made into a cake shape.

This silver cake wasn't an antique; it was modern.

Lu Qiaoge poured everything out of the canvas bag, hung it on the turtle's neck, and said: "Go pick up the scattered ones for me and put them in here."

Although the big pike was old, it still had a childlike nature and was spinning around happily.

【Good, good, good, we promise to pick them all back. Little fairy, you just wait.】

The old turtle was relatively steady, its little green bean eyes looking at Lu Qiaoge.

Lu Qiaoge reacted. Oh right, I have to cheer for you.

Lu Qiaoge transported energy to them one by one. Actually, it was very simple; she just placed her palm on their foreheads.

Lu Qiaoge could feel a wonderful connection between her and the little animals under her hand.

And these little animals felt the same.

This energy was stored in their bodies by them.

According to the old turtle, if animals like them really wanted to cultivate, there was no method; they just let nature take its course and follow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As for attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal, or cultivating into a human, those were all stories made up by humans.

What species you are, you are that species.

But it was true that they could become smarter, more flexible, and live longer.

Then what else was there to seek?

Wasn't this what humans ultimately sought?

Lu Qiaoge waited leisurely on the bank.

Two hours had passed, and the sun was already on the mountain peak.

It is said that morning clouds don't go out, and evening clouds travel a thousand miles.

The magnificent evening clouds accompanied the setting sun, dyeing the western mountain peaks, looking like a fairyland.

And the old turtle, which had returned again, suddenly asked Lu Qiaoge: 【Little fairy, do you know about 'Mustard Seed Sumeru'?】

Lu Qiaoge was stunned for a moment.

Of course she knew.

It meant a very small place could hold very large things.

Before transmigrating here, she was already the base commander-in-chief of Base 3.

Because she was a ninth-level three-element ability user.

One of the abilities was space, and the space at the ninth level was very large, so large that Lu Qiaoge felt that if she said it out loud, even if the old turtle thought she was a fairy, it would think she was bragging.

Unfortunately, the space didn't follow her here.

If the space were here, it would be great; she could raise these intelligent little animals in her space.

That way, it wouldn't matter even if the water in Red Star Lake dried up.

Her other wood-element ability was also gone, but it might have been transformed into an affinity with little animals.

Then there was speed.

This followed her, but it was actually only in a first-level state.

As for strength...

The original Lu Qiaoge's strength was already greater than that of an ordinary little girl.

It might be due to family genetics.

Old Lu's strength was also very great.

And Lu Zhiguo could easily lift a 200-jin flour bag with one hand.

Why did Lu Zhiguo enter the transport team, and why couldn't several people get him out?

It was because he had great strength.

Actually, this wasn't strange, nor was it an exaggeration; among ordinary people, there were many strongmen, and there were even strongman competitions every year.

And her strength, because of the energy bonus, naturally increased exponentially.

Carrying over 1,000 jin of things was very easy.

Of course, she was a girl and had to pay attention to her image.

Besides carrying gold, she had no interest in anything else.

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "I've read about it in storybooks, and there's even something like 'Universe in the Sleeve' or a 'Cornucopia'."

Old turtle: 【Right, although the names are different, the meaning is about the same. I heard from an old Taoist that this thing exists, it's just that this object has spirituality and doesn't appear in the world easily. Little fairy, you can look for it. If you can find it, your gold, silver, and jewelry will have a place to be put.】

Even, if it could hold living things, we could borrow the light.

The old turtle didn't think it was wishful thinking, because it was facing a little fairy who could communicate with them.

The old Taoist claimed to have cultivated since childhood, but he couldn't communicate with them, and even thought they couldn't understand human speech, scolding them as "old turtles who are stupid and should be stewed into soup."

Lu Qiaoge smiled: "Okay, I will definitely look for it carefully."

The old turtle turned around and went into the water happily, swimming quickly toward the big pike.

This was the last trip.

The old turtle, which returned with the big pike, said to Lu Qiaoge: 【We've searched everywhere we could, so there shouldn't be any more.】

Checking the time, it was already past 5:00 PM.

Lu Qiaoge had come prepared today.

She had also put an iron bucket and a net in her tote bag. Lu Qiaoge had taken the pole of the net off. She simply tied it with branches. Actually, she didn't need the little animals to help, but they just liked to help. She didn't know what method they used, but schools of fish and shrimp swarmed toward Lu Qiaoge's feet.

It was like falling into a fish nest.

Lu Qiaoge didn't even take a few minutes to easily catch a full bucket of fish and shrimp in the reed marsh.

Among them were several large crucian carp.

And the silver cakes she caught back were exactly 120 pieces.

The satchel definitely couldn't hold them, so Lu Qiaoge put them in the canvas bag she had brought.

Fortunately, these little silver cakes together weighed less than 50 jin.

Added to a bucket of fish and shrimp, the load-bearing capacity of the bicycle tires was completely fine.

Lu Qiaoge touched them one by one again, and as usual, urged them to be careful. Watching them swim into the depths of the lake, Lu Qiaoge then carried the tote bag and rode her bicycle home.

Lu Qiaoge's satchel was wet, so after washing it clean, she simply put everything in the tote bag.

When she arrived home, Meng Xia had already returned from buying tofu and was busy in the kitchen.

Lu Qiaoge casually put the things in the courtyard and asked Meng Xia: "Mom, do you need my help?"

Meng Xia said: "No, you rest. By the way, where did you go?"

Lu Qiaoge took out a stone: "I went fishing and picked up a few stones along the way."

Only then did Meng Xia see the bucket of fish and shrimp Lu Qiaoge had put in the courtyard.

Turning back, she looked everywhere for the tabby cat. Not finding the cat's shadow, she said happily: "Since your cat isn't home, we'll keep half of these fish and send the other half to your fourth uncle's house."

Lu Qiaoge agreed.

She carried the tote bag into the bedroom, wrapped the cleaned silver cakes, and put them in the wardrobe.

The Lu family didn't have the habit of rummaging through things.

From Grandma Lu to Xiao Si, they were all like that.

Meng Xia didn't help them tidy up their rooms either; everyone tidied up their own rooms.

So Lu Qiaoge was very relieved.
