Rebirth Counterattack with Space-Chapter 26 - The Little Girl Really Has Some Problems

“…Then just call me Shitou, it’s just a name after all,” Shitou said, lowering his eyelids. This little girl was indeed a bit of trouble. He casually picked a blade of grass, rubbed it on his clothes, and then brought it to his lips, starting to play. A melodious tune filled the air.

Huh?

He’s actually letting it slide?

Lu Yun felt it was a bit odd but couldn’t quite put her finger on what exactly was odd. She glanced quickly at Shitou, who was focused on playing, touched her head, and decided not to dwell on things she couldn’t understand.

Listening to the pleasant music he made, Lu Yun also picked a blade of grass, rubbed it on her clothes, and joyfully placed it to her lips to blow.

Why is there no sound?

Lu Yun took a deep breath and blew hard, making a “pfft, pfft, pfft” sound akin to farting.

“Hahaha, I was wondering who had farted.”

Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan had apparently approached at some point, and excluding Lu Aiguo, nobody else could be laughing so exaggeratedly. Even Xia Yuan, her own mother, was laughing.

So, so infuriating!

Lu Yun’s face turned red with embarrassment; she dropped the grass and threw herself into her mother’s embrace, “Daddy’s too bad.”

“Haha, my dear, daddy isn’t laughing at you, hahaha… really, hahaha, hahahaha… It’s too funny; daddy really isn’t laughing at you…” Lu Aiguo was laughing so hard that tears were forming, yet he still tried to absolve himself.

Laughing like that and still saying you didn’t laugh at me?

Lu Yun pouted in her mother’s embrace.

Xia Yuan squatted down to hug Lu Yun, her face all smiles, “Xiaoyun, don’t be angry, okay? Your dad didn’t do it on purpose.”

“Hmph.”

Lu Yun turned her head and buried it even deeper.

Right, he wasn’t doing it on purpose, because he was doing it intentionally. Oh, how embarrassing.

“You’re still laughing? You’re responsible for cheering her up since you made the child cry,” Xia Yuan said, lifting her head and also “hmmphing” in response to Lu Aiguo’s “hmmph” when she heard her daughter’s sniffling.

“My dear girl, how about you go with Daddy to the stream to catch fish? It’s a pity we haven’t encountered any pheasants or rabbits all morning. Catching a few fish to eat is just as good,” Lu Aiguo, having laughed enough, squatted down and patted Lu Yun’s back to console her.

After his gentle persuasions for a while, Lu Yun finally nodded.

“Okay, but you’re not allowed to laugh anymore.”

“I won’t laugh, I won’t,” Lu Aiguo repeated, nodding again and again, though the smile still hadn’t completely left his face. Lu Yun pouted. Really, have you ever seen anyone who can’t whistle through a blade of grass?

But Lu Yun’s unhappiness quickly disappeared completely.

Shitou somehow found a small net made of wicker from somewhere, and with the four of them blocking from the front and the back, as well as the fact that not many people visited this stream, and the fish in it being quite daft, they soon caught five or six big fish.

Her space could retrieve and deposit items from a distance, she had tried many times, the furthest distance being ten meters—within ten meters, she could collect and place things at will. But it was extremely draining on spiritual power, and in her current state, she couldn’t maintain it for long, nor could she handle items that were too large.

So sitting by the stream, Lu Yun secretly slipped some green onions, ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppers, chili peppers, and a pack of label-less pickled vegetables into her dad’s basket, thinking that her dad probably wouldn’t have brought any oil, so she considerately added a small bottle of it, weighing one jin.

She really wanted to eat pickled fish. Would mom know how to make it?

Right, she hadn’t seen her dad bring a vegetable knife. Lu Yun searched in her space, where there were quite a few pieces of cold steel; she had more than a dozen sharpened daggers, all of top quality.

She took one out and after hesitating, she grabbed another.

The objects Lu Yun took out were soon discovered, and although this was already the second time, the shock was still significant on Lu Aiguo, Xia Yuan, and Shitou, despite Lu Yun feigning ignorance.

“This has happened again, Shitou, what do you think?” Lu Aiguo looked at Shitou, who was studying a dagger, and couldn’t help being drawn in as well. He reached for another dagger and pulled it out to see its gleaming chill.

“Pretty considerate,” Shitou said, glancing in Lu Yun’s direction as if by accident.

“What?” Lu Aiguo ???

“I mean the person giving these items is pretty considerate, even preparing a dagger for each of us,” Shitou said with a smile.

“My heart’s practically jumping out of my chest in fright, and you’re still making jokes,” Lu Aiguo glared at him dissatisfied.

“Could there really be deities or spirits involved?” Xia Yuan began to wonder suspiciously; if they didn’t consider this angle, there was simply no explanation.

“Nonsense, where are these deities or spirits from?” Lu Aiguo instinctively looked around.

“I know, I know, it must be Lady Snail,” Lu Yun interjected excitedly.

“Lady Snail? What Lady Snail?” Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan asked in unison, both voices full of curiosity. The corners of Shitou’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

You haven’t heard the tale of Lady Snail?

Lu Yun looked at them incredulously with a secretive glance, “You know, it’s the story about a lad who picked up a snail, and the snail turned into a girl who then helped with laundry and cooking, and in the end, she married the boy.”

“I think a Lady Snail must have come to our house,” Lu Yun said, looking at her parents, who were clearly dumbstruck, quite pleased with herself for her quick thinking.
