Chapter 338 Collecting Spiritual Energy Again
Without any delay, Wang Jianguo jumped onto the ox cart, picked up the reins and shook them gently.
The old cow seemed to sense its owner's urgency. It mooed and slowly pulled the cart towards the mountains.
The wheels rolled on the ground, raising a cloud of dust, and Wang Jianguo's figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Only the increasingly blurred tire tracks were left, extending deep into the mountains.
His heart was filled with longing for his sister and Yu Li, as well as expectations for the unknown.
He didn't know whether this trip to the mountains could bring him some comfort, but he couldn't wait to set off.
It was not known how long Wang Jianguo had been driving the ox cart, bumping along the rugged mountain road.
The old cow was breathing heavily and taking each step steadily. Its hooves made a "tapping" sound on the road covered with gravel and mud.
The sun shone through the dense branches and leaves, casting dots of light and shadows on the ground. Finally, Wang Jianguo drove the ox cart to the mountain pass.
At the mountain pass, the wind was blowing, bringing with it the unique fresh scent of the mountains and forests.
Wang Jianguo jumped out of the car and skillfully led the old cow to a thick tree.
He took the reins from the ox cart, wrapped them around the tree trunk several times, and tied a tight knot to ensure that the old ox would not break free.
The old cow seemed to know that its owner was going to be away for a while, so it stood there obediently, gently flicking its tail to drive away the small flying insects around it.
After settling the old cow, Wang Jianguo took a deep breath and walked into the mountains alone.
The surrounding trees became more and more lush, and the towering trees were like giant open umbrellas, almost covering the entire sky.
The road under my feet became more and more difficult to walk on. It was overgrown with weeds, and in some places it was covered with criss-crossing tree roots. It was easy to trip if you were not careful.
He walked carefully, keeping his eyes alert as he looked around.
After walking an unknown distance, Wang Jianguo arrived at a place he had never been to before.
Everything here seems so mysterious. The surroundings are so quiet that it is a little scary, with only the occasional bird calls breaking the silence.
He found a relatively flat spot, used his hands to push away the surrounding weeds, cleared a place to sit down, and then slowly sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Wang Jianguo suddenly remembered that there might be ferocious beasts in the deep mountains, and his heart tightened. He did not dare to be careless and quickly opened the system.
As the system interface popped up, a faint light flashed before his eyes.
He operated it skillfully, setting the system's search range to the surrounding area and began to collect nearby spiritual energy.
After a while, the system responded, and a large amount of spiritual energy began to gather towards him.
He could clearly feel that the air around him seemed to have changed, with a fresh and energetic breath.
He looked at the system prompt [Spiritual energy collection progress, 35%], and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
At this moment, he swept away the gloom that had just arisen from missing his sister.
He thought that the supply and marketing cooperative was now on the right track, and with Zhao Shuzhuo and others there, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
In this way, I will have more time to come to this mountain to collect spiritual energy.
As long as you persevere, the progress of collecting spiritual energy will become faster and faster, and you will be closer and closer to the moment of opening the space.
Once the space is opened, he will be able to find his sister and reunite with her.
This thought was like a ray of light shining into his heart, filling him with hope and motivation. His longing for his sister also became the strength for him to move forward.
He secretly made up his mind to collect enough spiritual energy as soon as possible so that he could meet his sister as soon as possible.
Whenever he thought of his sister, Wang Jianguo's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
It is a longing that goes deep into the bone marrow, and the longer the time goes, the stronger it becomes.
He hasn't spoken a word to his sister for a long time. All the little moments he had spent with his sister kept replaying in his mind like a movie.
His sister's every smile, every little movement were as clear as if engraved on his heart.
Driven by this deep longing, he opened the mysterious system again, his eyes full of expectation and anxiety, trying to get in touch with his sister in the distant space.
"Dujuan, Dujuan, are you there? It's my brother, are you okay?"
Wang Jianguo's voice trembled slightly, carrying endless thoughts, transmitted through the system to the unknown space.
In another space, Li Dujuan was having a great time with Qin Jingru and Yan Jiedi.
Their laughter echoed in the air like silver bells, and the colorful rubber bands sparkled with cheerful light in the sun.
Suddenly, Wang Jianguo's voice broke through the joyful atmosphere like a flash of lightning.
Li Dujuan suddenly stopped as if she was under a spell, with her jumping feet hanging in the air and her hands tightly grasping the rubber band.
Her eyes widened instantly, and the surprise in her eyes shone like bright stars. Then, tears flowed uncontrollably, quickly blurring her eyes.
"Brother, it's brother, brother, I miss you so much, what are you doing? Why don't you talk to me every day? Have you forgotten me?"
Li Dujuan cried, her voice containing both the joy of reunion and the grievance of being "ignored" by her brother.
Her lips trembled slightly, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of her heart. The tears were like beads that had broken off the string, constantly sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground.
When Wang Jianguo heard Li Dujuan's crying full of grievance, he felt his heart was broken.
The crying sound was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into his heart, making him feel so distressed that he couldn't breathe. He hurriedly comforted her:
"Don't cry, Dujuan. I miss you a lot. You know what? I've been busy with something very important lately."
"There are many people here who need my help. I am working hard to make everyone's life better."
"Only when these things are done, I will have more time to find a way to open the space, so that I can see you."
"Are you okay? Is anyone bullying you? Is it your sister Jingru who bullies you? If someone bullies you, you must tell your brother."
Wang Jianguo's voice was gentle and urgent. He wished he could immediately pass through the space, hug his sister in his arms, and wipe away her tears.
Wang Jianguo knew very well that his sister Li Dujuan was a clever girl whose emotions came and went quickly. In order to stop her from being immersed in sadness, he rolled his eyes and suddenly changed the subject cleverly.
This topic was like a magical pistachio, which immediately hit Li Dujuan's funny spot and made her little face, which was originally full of tear marks, instantly bloom with a bright smile.
