"Yeah, otherwise we'll be living off scavenging for the rest of our lives—though with the Heavenly Thunder Pig around, we find something good every single day..." Shen Yushu nodded.
"These really have been hard yet fulfilling days. Little Shu, at last we can do something for Wei Zhao," Gu Mengyao said with feeling.
"That's right. These days have taught me just how hard Uncle Chu worked to earn his money!" Little Shu nodded too. "But once Brother Arrow is better, everything will be fine again, and we can go back to living like young ladies!"
"..." Gu Mengyao was briefly speechless.
Hearing their exchange, Wei Zhao grew more and more bewildered, yet he could not speak to ask; he could only judge from their words that the two of them were living hard, far from comfortable lives, that they scraped by on scavenging—and strangest of all, that they used the Heavenly Thunder Pig to scavenge!
No wonder they could pick up twenty thousand yuan's worth of junk in a single day. No ordinary person could ever collect that much; it was an astronomical figure. But for a Heavenly Thunder Pig with its treasure-seeking gift, it was nothing at all—it could find even rare heavenly treasures, let alone valuable old goods.
After the two chatted idly for a while, Gu Mengyao got ready to bathe, and Wei Zhao hurriedly cut off his connection to the outside world. He had just looked his fill of little Shu; if he looked at the young lady as well, he would surely suffer a qi deviation!
Another stretch of time passed, and Gu Mengyao finished her bath. She brought over a basin of water, and together with little Shu she wiped Wei Zhao's face, hands, and feet; as for the rest of his private parts, they did not touch them. Little Shu might not have minded, but the young lady was too embarrassed.
The days passed one by one in plain monotony. Wei Zhao gradually drove the fire poison from the meridians other than those of his head and heart, and the effect was quite marked. He believed that if he kept at it, the day of his awakening could not be far off.
During this time Wei Zhao also worked one thing out: the reason Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were here! From their broken snatches of conversation he understood that Gu Pengzhan had gone bankrupt, and Fatty Lai too. Not only had they lost every means of support, but Yu Liu of the Yu family was after him!
So they could only lodge in Granny Sun's house and live by scavenging. Fortunately, no one paid any attention to a few women picking through trash, and Yu Liu and his people would probably never imagine that the young lady of former days would do such a thing!
The tender care of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu moved Wei Zhao deeply. He had truly never thought the young lady could endure such hardship and give so much...
