What kind of girl would travel to another world?

Chapter 117 Daily Life. - Wei Qingping's unexpected situation.

In the previous chapter, You Jiahui discovered a grove of fruit trees on a slope near a river. After eating the fruit, she and her horse confirmed that the trees were non-toxic. This could be considered a case of "testing the poison with one's own body." Although neither she nor her horse consciously wanted to risk their own lives, they happily ate the fruit together.

After not finding any stomach upset for half a day, You Jiahui continued to pick a tree fruit and started eating it, thinking, "It seems that the tree fruits here are very safe, delicious and safe. It's such a pleasant day." Thinking of this, she picked another tree fruit and fed it to the horse.

After eating the fruit from the tree, You Jiahui asked the horse, "Let's give this place a name. What do you think it should be called?"

The horse neighed, probably just to express that the fruit on the tree was delicious, and it couldn't give You Jiahui any advice.

As if she had heard the horse's "suggestion," You Jiahui muttered to herself, "Okay! From now on, this place will be called 'Fruit Tree Hill'!"

The horse then ate several more berries. It was very happy eating, and You Jiahui was also very happy talking to herself in front of the horse.

Afterwards, You Jiahui brought the horse back to the river, where she washed herself with the river water and also cleaned the horse's fur.

You Jiahui looked back at the slope of fruit trees and muttered, "Flowers bloom in spring, fruits bear in summer, and harvest in autumn..." As she spoke, she thought of the future and thought, "By then, I'll have to arrange a few people. It would be best to build a house here, and let them come to collect and look after it. The fruits from the trees can be sent to the mansion in carts, so that there will be no shortage of fruits in my territory. Although there are no profitable minerals in such a large territory, fortunately, the food resources are very sufficient. Maybe there are several places I haven't been to, and there are good things waiting for me..." Thinking of this, she immediately smiled.

You Jiahui turned her head to look at the river flowing away into the distance, and thought to herself, "It seems that this is the end of the territory. If we go further, it will no longer belong to the scope of the Broken Flow River. I don't know which lord the land there belongs to." Thinking of this, she turned her head and looked in the opposite direction, and thought to herself, "Come to think of it, all the land on the Broken Flow River does not belong to me alone. There are several pieces of land that belong to other lords, but their land is all upstream. It would be great if the upstream was also mine. If the upstream was also mine, wouldn't the scope of this territory completely exceed that of the Baron..." She was caught up in a brief personal fantasy at the moment, and so she fell into a daze.

After briefly stopping at the orchard and riverside, You Jiahui mounted her horse and galloped back, intending to reach the construction site as quickly as possible. However, upon discovering a narrower section of the river, she changed her mind and swam to the other side. Since both sides of the river were her private property, she decided to take a quick look at the other side.

After reaching the other side, You Jiahui's trouser legs were soaked. She dismounted, looked at her soaked lower body, and muttered, "I thought the water here was shallow. I should have known I wouldn't have come here." As she spoke, she vigorously wrung out her trouser legs.

Then she led the horse for a while before riding it again.

Just like that, on a beautiful day, after riding her horse back along the river for a while, You Jiahui suddenly felt inspired to run up a large, open grassy slope. She stopped her horse and dismounted, thinking, "The grass here is good quality, perfect for pasture. Since there aren't many wild animals grazing here, I might as well raise a herd..." With this thought, she folded her arms, letting the strong wind caress her.

You Jiahui was mesmerized by the vastness of the landscape, while the horses grazed the grass. Between heaven and earth, humans, horses, and pasture, they formed a beautiful and soothing picture.

And with that, You Jiahui's morning came to an end. She then went to the construction site to take a look. The workers were just finishing their lunch break. After a few more words with the supervisor, Okri, she returned to the capital.

After returning to the capital, You Jiahui naturally stopped by the tavern for a snack and rest, just like before. Later that evening, she set off for the forging workshop.

After arriving at the forging workshop, the master forger directly showed two design drawings, one for a long sword and scabbard, and the other for a short sword and shield.

You Jiahui looked at the two design drawings with great interest and asked the forging master, "Wow! So many dragons?"

The forging master told You Jiahui, "Sir Knight, look at this dragon head, wings, body, and tail. They're all designed for you. The only downside is the dagger. To hide it inside the shield, the hilt had to be designed to look like a dragon's tail."

You Jiahui waved her hand and said to the forging master, "No, no, your design is very good! The hilt of this long sword is a dragon head, and the hilt of the dagger is a dragon tail. It's so interesting! Your designer is really a genius!" She praised while looking at the design drawings happily.

The forging master then explained the design on the blueprint to You Jiahui, saying, "Look, the hilt of this longsword is shaped like a dragon's head, the guard is shaped like a dragon's wings, and the scabbard is designed to look like a dragon's tail."

You Jiahui listened patiently to the explanation, nodding repeatedly. Then, she praised the shield's design, saying to the forging master, "Your shield also has a dragon wing design. The more I look at it, the more spectacular it becomes! I love it!" Then, she changed the subject and asked the forging master, "Have you ever seen a real dragon? How did you design it so exquisitely?" Her question made sense. After all, she hadn't seen anything dragon-related since she arrived in the other world. Only the president of the Merchant Guild knew anything about dragons.

The forging master replied to You Jiahui, "No, none of us have ever seen a dragon in person. One of our designers saw a drawing of a dragon. We designed it based on the rough outline he drew."

You Jiahui raised her thumb and thought to herself, "Great! Really great! It's worthy of being a prestigious forging workshop, full of talented people!" Thinking of this, she was stunned for a moment and then continued to look at the design drawings.

Then, You Jiahui looked more and more carefully. When she encountered something she didn't understand, she would immediately ask the forging master, and the forging master would explain it to her very carefully.

After thoroughly reviewing both design drawings, You Jiahui said to the forging master, "Oh my God, if this is truly forged, I'm afraid I won't be willing to use it."

The forging master smiled broadly and said to You Jiahui, "Sir Knight, see what you said. If these equipment are damaged in battle, they can be repaired. Just remember to bring these two blueprints with you."

You Jiahui was very happy and said to the forging master: "Okay! I am very satisfied with this design! Just make it like this!" After that, she paid all the subsequent money in one lump sum.

You Jiahui didn't need to rush to pay the full amount so soon, but she's just like that. Normally, she thinks carefully and calmly, but once her happiness reaches a certain point, she'll start spending without a second thought. Her main goal is to maximize her spending for "emotional value."

After carefully calculating the labor and costs, the forging master gave You Jiahui a very normal market price. After all, he was dealing with a customer of noble status, so he didn't dare to ask for too much or too little, so he had to be very "conscientious".

After receiving the payment, the forging master immediately signed a contract voucher certifying the payment and handed it to You Jiahui. He told You Jiahui, "It will be completed in two weeks. You can come and pick it up with this voucher." Then he asked You Jiahui, "Sir Knight, have you thought clearly about the armor?"

You Jiahui shook her head and frowned, and told the master forger, "Let me think about it again. I haven't considered it yet." She was still struggling with the material, size and weight of the armor, and whether to wear a helmet.

After leaving the forge, You Jiahui touched her backpack with a greatly reduced amount of currency and thought to herself, "Yesterday, the president asked me to talk to the king about taxes, but I can't be so rash as to go to the king. I'd better wait for the right time. If I really need a lot of money later, I might as well go to the Merchant Guild to borrow some..." While thinking, she mounted her horse and slowly headed towards the palace.

Three days later! Why three days later? Because nothing special happened during those three days. Yang Mingyi slowly learned magic, while Qi Xinyang and his group continued their archery lessons and various exercises in the mountains. It was also on this day, three days later, that Wei Qingping had something to talk about.

So, what exactly happened between Wei Qingping and the Sword King? As we mentioned earlier, when the Sword King initially led the way, they kept getting lost. After all, they were traversing a mountainous terrain with no path. Furthermore, the wild forest often obscured their view, making it difficult for the Sword King to discern the direction, leading to numerous missteps. Fortunately, once Wei Qingping led the way, things improved considerably.

Just today, the two of them had stopped early, intending to build a shelter from the rain. Indeed, they had only been walking for the entire morning when they noticed the weather was not looking good, and they both predicted a heavy downpour would soon arrive. Since it was going to rain, they couldn't continue their journey and instead had to quickly find shelter or build one themselves.

The Swordsman King blamed himself and said to Wei Qingping, "I should have bought two tents earlier."

Wei Qingping said to King Jianhao, "Didn't you say it? It's to hide from others, for fear that people would know someone was going here." She didn't hear the self-blame in King Jianhao's voice, and thought that King Jianhao was blaming herself for not buying it.

The Swordsman King looked up at the gloomy sky. Thick clouds were gathering, as if a torrential downpour might fall at any moment. He sighed and said to Wei Qingping, "It's too late to regret now. Don't you know that magic? Hurry up and 'dig a hole,'" he said, referring to the "earth flow technique" Wei Qingping had used to escape the capital.

Wei Qingping raised her eyes and stared at the sky blankly, and said to the Swordsman King: "You can't dig a hole down here, otherwise it will become a 'hot spring'." After saying that, she looked at the Swordsman King with a face full of suspicion.

King Jianhao scratched his head and said to Wei Qingping, "You are still joking at this time. You must be looking for..." Before he finished speaking, he turned his head around to look at the surrounding terrain, trying to find a place suitable for them to dig a hole to shelter from the rain.

Wei Qingping continued to say to the Swordsman King, "It would be best if we didn't have to dig a hole, but there are no large leaves here, and we don't have the right tools to cut down trees..."

The Swordsman King looked out into the distance and said to Wei Qingping, "How can we cut down trees? We're not going to build a house. Let's quickly find a suitable place to shelter from the rain, and then pick up some branches and dry grass to use as a shelter."

Wei Qingping said to the Swordsman King in surprise, "Huh? You understand this too? I thought only people like us from the mountains understood this."

After hearing this, the Swordsman King smiled bitterly and said to Wei Qingping, "I was an adventurer after all. Sometimes the tent is broken and can't be used. I have to find a way. I can't sleep in the rain."

After hearing what the Swordsman King said, Wei Qingping suddenly became interested in the adventurers' affairs, but now was not the time for idle chat. After that, the two of them did not exchange any more words, but tacitly searched for the necessary items to build a temporary shelter.

Fortunately, the two of them acted quickly enough and found everything they needed in time. Before the downpour came, they were well hidden under the makeshift shelter.

Wei Qingping was squatting in the shelter, feeling bored. She asked King Jianhao, "Are you almost done with the fish you cooked?"

King Jianhao turned around and asked Wei Qingping, "Would you like to eat something?"

Wei Qingping told King Jianhao, "I'm not hungry."

The Swordsman King asked Wei Qingping, "You haven't eaten for three days, aren't you hungry?"

Wei Qingping told the Swordsman King, "Didn't we eat a lot of fish by the lake before?"

King Jianhao asked Wei Qingping again, "That was three days ago. Are you sure it's okay to continue like this?" He was afraid that Wei Qingping would suddenly faint from hunger during the rest of the journey.

On a rainy day like this, what else could you do besides hide from the rain? See the next chapter.
