Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 48 The Short Seven Days (Part 1)

After rummaging in the cabinet for a while, Jiang Ke found the thing he had forgotten——

A green-white fruit.

The "Sighing Fruit" was produced by the tree of spiritual wisdom in the sacred nursery.

Its function is to create an illusion in which all human wishes can be fulfilled.

Jiang Ke felt that even if it was a fantasy, it would be good to be able to relieve Liu Yuehong's worries, right?

With this thought in mind, she returned to the pasture with the fruit and handed it to Liu Yuehong.

"Take a look at this, it should be of some use."

Liu Yuehong took it, and the properties of the fruit appeared in front of her. She read it carefully, and an moved expression appeared on her face.

"Is this...this fruit really so magical?"

"It's made in an apartment. You can't even describe it wrong, right?" Jiang Ke said, "Just give it a try and see what happens."

Liu Yuehong thought for a moment, and her hand holding the fruit trembled slightly. This was a sign of excitement and uneasiness.

"I'll go call Xiaoxing and Yu Yu...if they can see Auntie again, they will definitely be happy too."

Jiang Ke suggested. After getting Liu Yuehong's permission, she opened the door directly.

As a landlord, knowing where your guests are currently located is a small privilege.

Liu Zexing and Wu Yu, who looked confused, were brought in by Jiang Ke and heard what they planned to do.

Both of them fell silent. There was no trace of their usual laughter.

"Is it really okay? Can I see auntie?"

Liu Zexing held the corners of his clothes with his fingers, his voice choked up. Wu Yu beside him had tears in his eyes.

The two grown men stared at Jiang Ke like this, and Jiang Ke also expressed that she was under a lot of pressure. But she couldn't say "give it a try".

So she smiled calmly, as if holding a pearl of wisdom in her hand and said:

"Okay! Come on."

At this time, you have to show your omnipotence in order to give people confidence.

Sure enough, after seeing her looking like she had everything under control, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

But Jiang Ke's pressure was getting bigger and bigger... She took the fruit from Liu Yuehong and started it.

I could see that the jade-like skin of the fruit was emitting countless blurred bluish-white rays from the inside out.

They intertwined and formed in the open space as if they were alive. The imaginary dream and reality had a fulcrum to combine. In just a moment, an oval light ball covering an area of ​​30 meters appeared.

It's like the Fruit of Sighing has expanded several times, with light still flowing on the surface. But this light gives people a wonderful feeling that they really want to contact and yearn for.

Liu Yuehong took a few steps forward and suddenly looked at Jiang Ke pleadingly.

"Xiao Ke, Sister Gu... come in with me, I'm a little scared."

"good!"

Jiang Ke and Gu Ziyi looked at each other and nodded, agreeing to the request. However, they saw Liu Zexing and Wu Yu, who had been impatient for a long time, rushing into the ball of light.

There were ripples like water waves on the surface of the light ball, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly.

Jiang Ke and Gu Ziyi walked up to Liu Yuehong and took her hands from left to right. The three of them took a deep breath and slowly walked into the ball of light.

Before going in, Jiang Ke had thought about what would be inside.

For example, could there be a hallucination of their aunt or something like that? However, when she came back from the blue-white light, what she saw was this scene -——

This is a beach with blue sky and soft sand. The sea in the distance is endless.

The beach is bustling with people sunbathing on sun loungers, children making clay pots, and tourists coming and going.

The crowd was so loud that it was so real that Jiang Ke felt a little dazed for a while.

She sniffed the salty smell in the air, then felt the sea breeze blowing in the distance and the seagulls flying in the sky.

No matter how you look at it, it is a real world!

Jiang Ke was about to ask Liu Yuehong beside him when he realized that something was not right about the other party.

The corners of her eyes were filled with tears. The next moment, her lips trembled and she let go of Jiang Ke and Gu Ziyi's hands, and ran towards somewhere like crazy.

"Sister Liu!"

Jiang Ke and Gu Ziyi also hurriedly followed. Liu Yuehong bumped into several people in front, but ignored them and ran away amidst the angry scoldings of those who were hit.

This speed made Jiang Ke look confused. You must know that this is on the beach! The sand is so soft that it is not easy to walk on it!

"Sorry, sorry, don't worry, she's in a hurry."

She could only apologize to the person who was hit along with Gu Ziyi, while reluctantly following along.

In this way, the two reluctantly followed and soon arrived at a beach covered with rocks. And here, Wu Yu and Liu Zexing had already arrived.

Wu Yu held a woman who looked to be in her forties in his arms, looking anxious and uneasy.

"Mom...Mom." He called the person in his arms softly, but the blood spilled from the corner of the woman's mouth did not look good.

Liu Yuehong had already rushed over to check the woman's condition.

Jiang Ke also stood panting at this time and looked at the woman.

Although this woman has many wrinkles on her face, she can still see the grace of her youth. Although the clothes on her body have faded after washing, they are still clean. Even if she is lying there in a coma, she still has a grace that is difficult to conceal.

At first glance, she looks like a very capable and self-reliant woman.

Jiang Ke has always admired this kind of person.

And... judging from her appearance, she must be Wu Yu's mother, the aunt Liu Yuehong calls her.

"Sister Jiang! Sister Jiang! Did you bring jade leaves or holy crystal fruit!?"

Liu Zexing shouted anxiously.

"Take it, take it!"

Jiang Ke used to put something in her pocket, which was one of her habits. She didn't expect it to be effective at this time.

She hurriedly walked over and took out the Jade Leaf and Holy Fire Crystal Fruit. Although she had doubts about whether the props here could work, and cancer is a disease...

Are these two things really treatable?

A scene appeared that reassured her.

The jade leaves overflowed with clear light and entered the woman's body. Although the light on the jade leaves passed quickly, the woman's pale face was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I don’t know if it was the contribution of the jade leaf or the fruit of the Holy Fire Crystal... Anyway, after a few minutes, the woman slowly woke up.

She looked at the faces of the Liu Yuehong siblings who were very close at hand, and there was an incomprehensible shock in her eyes.

Then...she closed her eyes again and said to herself:

"I must be in hell, otherwise why would I have such a dream?"

"Mom! It's me!"

At this time, Wu Yu finally couldn't help but burst into tears. Jiang Ke had never seen him like this before, and he was almost exhausted from crying.

It is said that mother and son are connected by heart. At this time, the woman was completely sure that this was her son.

"Don't cry, little fish! Mom is here!"

She quickly sat up and hugged Wu Yu, letting him cry in her arms.

Liu Yuehong and Liu Zexing were also in tears. Liu Yuehong was still standing, but Liu Zexing could not help but threw herself into the woman's arms and cried.

Jiang Ke only felt that her eyes were extremely sore, and she felt like she wanted to cry but couldn't.

feeling bad……

Gu Ziyi patted her shoulder and then hugged Jiang Ke.

This scene did not last long. Wu Yu and Liu Zexing stood up with red eyes.

"Mom, how are you feeling now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Wu Yu asked cautiously. He supported his mother more carefully than holding a fragile porcelain.

"I feel very good. Sigh. Looking at you like this, there must be a lot of things that I can't understand, right?"

She glanced at the people present and didn't ask any questions. She just fixed her eyes on Liu Yuehong and smiled at her:

"Xiao Hong, thank you for your hard work."

The smile was very bright and the tone was very sincere.

Jiang Ke naturally understood what the phrase "hard work" meant. I'm afraid this mother had already thought about the life of her son and her adopted son and adopted daughter before she fell to the ground and lost consciousness, right?

This is a thank you to Liu Yuehong.

After all... in reality, after her death, it was really Liu Yuehong who lived with her two younger brothers.

The hardships can be imagined.

Liu Yuehong looked at the woman in silence. After thanking her, she finally lost some sense in her heart. She rushed over and hugged the woman.

She cried much louder than the two men just now.

It can really be said that I was hoarse.

Protectors are often more difficult than the protected because they cannot show any weakness. They have taken over the responsibility and become the pillar.

But... they are human beings after all. The pain in their hearts will not be less, but more.

The woman just stroked her back silently, gently and gently.

Jiang Ke couldn't bear to watch, so he and Gu Ziyi walked aside and gave the space to the four of them, mother and son.

"It's amazing, what kind of place is this."

Gu Ziyi bent down and grabbed the back of a little crab with her flexible fingers. The little crab struggled hard, but couldn't escape.

"Look, this thing looks alive no matter how you look at it."

Jiang Ke stretched out her hand and poked it. The thorns on the crab's carapace made her retract her hand. She nodded and said:

"Yes, but it doesn't matter what happens. As long as Sister Liu and the others can untie the knot, that's fine."

"Yes, the apartment is indeed magical. A single fruit can have such a magical effect. Are there more fruits?"

Gu Ziyi asked curiously.

"It's gone." Jiang Ke shook his head, "There is only one fruit. I don't know when the tree in the Sacred Nursery will be restored."

Speaking of this, she paused before continuing: "And this fruit can only last for twenty-four hours due to lack of ingredients... Although I don't know if it is the same in the illusion.

But...if it really only has twenty-four hours, will Sister Liu and the others be even more disappointed?"

After hearing this, Gu Ziyi's expression obviously became worse. She pondered for a moment and was about to say something, but she saw Jiang Ke staring straight in front of her.

It seems like he's looking at an information box or something.

She swallowed her words and waited patiently.

Jiang Ke was indeed looking at the information box——

[Due to the unknown power charging, the duration of the current illusion has been extended from twenty-four hours to seven days. ]

When she saw this information, she had mixed emotions. She was happy and uneasy at the same time.

She knew very well that if it was only twenty-four hours, although it would be uncomfortable after it passed, it would pass quickly... But if it was seven days, she would really enjoy it before losing it.

That was really extremely uncomfortable.

"Sister Gu, I..."

She raised her head and was about to say something, but suddenly she closed her mouth.

I saw Liu Yuehong, mother and son, already walking over.

Liu Yuehong's eyes were red, but she was in good spirits. She waved and said with an excited smile: "Xiaoke, Sister Gu, come to my house! Auntie said she wants to make delicious food!"

Jiang Ke had never seen her smile so heartily, as if she was a different person.

only…

Jiang Ke rubbed his belly, but finally said nothing.

"I'm coming!"

She and Gu Ziyi, who also looked a little embarrassed, followed the mother and son.

The group stepped on the soft sandy beach and walked towards the east.
