Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 1202 Wang Zhan's Doubts
Kournikova took the jar, opened it, and saw that it was wine, but she didn't know if it was good wine.

I'd like to know if that's true; isn't there an expert in the small world?

With a flick of her hand, Second Grandma appeared, her face full of anger. She shouted, "Kuwa, I was just about to take a bath. Thank goodness I didn't take off my clothes. Next time, could you please discuss it beforehand?"

Kova lowered her head in shame, and when she looked up again, her second grandmother was drinking from a jar, a blissful smile on her face.

Kournikova understood; these were all fine wines. She took them all and put them in the small world's warehouse.

When the little bear saw that the wine was gone, he panicked and started crying and hugging Kova.

When Kournikova saw that she had sent the little bear and the second grandmother into the small world, she pointed to the storeroom, meaning that she had put them away for him.

The little bear finally calmed down and pulled Kournikova to look at this little world with curiosity. The storeroom was in the backyard of the manor.

Kournikova said to her second grandmother, "Thank you for your trouble, second grandmother. Please go back first, I'll show Little Bear around."

As Kournikova carried the teddy bear into the central courtyard, Ugly Girl jumped out, shouting and pointing excitedly at the teddy bear. The teddy bear was so frightened that it lifted Kournikova's clothes and stuffed its head inside.

“Stop, this is my brother, Little Bear, don’t scare him,” Kournikova said to Ugly Girl.

The ugly girl said with a wronged look, "Brother, I've noticed that you love me less and less?"

"Did I? No way, why do you say that?" Kournikova asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Look, you didn't even ask for my permission to recognize a younger brother. Don't you take me seriously?" Ugly Girl asked.

“I feel like you’re getting smarter and smarter,” Kournikova asked.

"The Fountain of Wisdom, oh, it tastes so good, and it can make me smarter. Wait, I meant to talk about that thing in your arms," ​​the ugly girl said, realizing what she meant.

"This is our little brother, Little Bear. He loves sweets and came to see his big sister." Kournikova brought Little Bear out.

The little bear's round, adorable eyes instantly won over Ugly Girl. Ugly Girl came over, petted it, and said, "From now on, all my desserts are yours."

"Alright, little bear, let your older sister show you around and help you get acquainted with the place." Kova, wondering if her second grandmother would go to the storeroom, eagerly handed the little bear to Ugly Girl.

Ugly Girl skipped away, pulling Little Bear along. Kuva saw Ugly Girl take candy out of her pocket and give it to Little Bear.

Kova went back to find her second grandmother, and as expected, she was found drunk and passed out in the storeroom.

Grandma Wen stood at the door and said, "Knowing she likes alcohol, you still made so much. Do you want your second grandma to be drunk enough?"

Kournikova sighed and explained the whole story. Her grandmother said in surprise, "You must have had incredible luck to be able to get into the city like this. We should be careful. I'll go with you tomorrow. Rest first. Oh, and make some food. They have huge appetites."

Kournikova looked incredulous; he had prepared ten days' worth of food before he left, and only two days had passed.

Breakfast was lavish, and Little Bear had already betrayed her, sticking close to Ugly Girl. He wouldn't leave her side, becoming her two protectors alongside Linglong. Kuva looked at Little Bear indifferently and said, "You were tempted by her sweets, but do you know where they come from?"

Then, with a sly look, he turned and walked away. The little bear, looking on with an adorable expression, glanced at the ugly girl, then at Kournikova's retreating figure, wavering between the two.

Kournikova told his grandmother that he would go and check it out first, and if it didn't work out, he would sneak back. His grandmother thought about it and agreed, but asked him to wear the white shoes she had made herself.

Before leaving, Kournikova found the ginseng garden. The old ginseng saw him at the door, and Kournikova frowned and said, "You didn't even invite me in. How rude of you."

The old ginseng said very straightforwardly, "I'm afraid you'll have designs on my children and grandchildren."

“How much do you know about the border town?” Kournikova asked.

"I don't know much, it's all from conversations with passersby. I know that there's a square in the very center, and the four sides of the square are the locations of the four major sects: the City Government is to the east, the Three Immortals Sect is to the west, the Zhengyi Sect is to the south, and the Five Buddha Hall is to the north," the old ginseng said.

Kournikova knew that he came from the west, and that the city gate was also the west gate.

Kournikova vanished from the small world in a flash. The distillery was still the same distillery. Kournikova pushed open the storeroom door and walked out. It was a small tavern with a counter and four or five tables in the front. The backyard contained the storeroom and kitchen, and further back were several living quarters.

Kuva thought for a moment, then went straight to the counter. She searched for a long time but found nothing, though the ledger was right there on the counter. Looking at the records, she saw that it accepted gold and silver, as well as spirit stones; the exchange rate was one spirit stone to one thousand gold. Kuva wondered where the tavern's money should be kept. She suddenly thought of asking her grandmother, but then thought better of it—after asking, the money might not even belong to her. She turned and pushed open the tavern's door.

A main road stretched from west to east, standing before Kuva. The tavern was located at the west gate. Now an empty city, it gave Kuva a sense of desolation, though the trees lining the road were still lush and green. Kuva was conflicted. Should she head directly east, or go to the city gate first to check the way back?

Kournikova thought for a moment and decided to ask her grandmother's opinion; her grandmother would like to see it too.

He flashed back to the small world, found the two grandmothers drinking tea, and asked, "The city is indeed deserted. Would you like to go out and take a look?"

Before she finished speaking, Ugly Girl, Linglong, and a little bear following closely behind appeared in the backyard. Grandma Wen said, "Then let's go together. I've never seen Kunyun's big city before, let's see it for ourselves."

Ugly Girl said, "Let's go too."

"Then you must behave when you go out and not run around, understand?" Kournikova said sternly.

Ugly Girl obediently replied, "I understand, I will be good."

Grandma Wen looked at Ugly Girl and shook her head.

With a wave of her hand, Kournikova conjured up several people and a small bear on the street.

As soon as Little Bear appeared, he pointed to the tavern, and Ugly Girl led Linglong and Little Bear into the tavern.

Kournikova shouted, "Come back here!"

The two grandmothers stood by and watched, neither of them saying a word.

Kournikova sensed something was wrong and said, "Grandma, aren't you going to do anything about Ugly Girl?"

"What do you think they went to do? With Little Bear around, that's a treasure Little Bear presented to Ugly Girl," Grandma Wen said jokingly, glancing at Kova.

Kournikova slapped her forehead, regretting that she hadn't thought to ask Little Bear.

A moment later, the two girls came out beaming, followed by Little Bear.

Kournikova was puzzled; she didn't see the money pouch. Looking closely at Ugly Girl, she noticed that Ugly Girl was wearing two rings on her hand. Judging from Ugly Girl's distorted smile, Kournikova knew that Ugly Girl had two storage rings.

Grandma Wen reached out her hand, and Ugly Girl came running up to her, presenting the girl to her like a treasure.

Grandma Wen glanced at it, then handed one back to Ugly Girl, saying, "Good girl, keep this one for yourself, and hide it from now on."

Ugly Girl's face lit up with a smile again, because she was now allowed to hide her secret stash of money.

Kournikova pursed her lips, thinking to herself, how much money could a small pub possibly have?

At this moment, Grandma Wen exclaimed in surprise, "This is much more than a Mercedes-Benz!"

Kournikova instantly lost her composure, her eyes gleaming as she looked at the shops lining both sides of the road.

Before he could react, Ugly Girl and Linglong split up and rushed into the two shops.

Kournikova didn't care anymore and rushed into one of the houses. She went in quickly and came out quickly. When she looked up, she saw two big characters: "Public House," which was actually a latrine. The two grandmothers were already laughing so hard they couldn't breathe.

This time, Kournikova spotted a silk shop and rushed inside.

The two grandmothers were not idle either. They walked and browsed, collecting anything of value. By sunset, they had swept through the street and stood at the gate of the Three Immortals Sect.

The gates of the Three Immortals Sect were tightly closed. From the outside, the courtyard was not large. Several people didn't need to discuss things, and Kournikova was the first to be targeted.

Kournikova solemnly bowed three times.
