Chapter 6

After breakfast, Yun Yi led the father of Daya to a courtyard he had chosen earlier in the morning. After the father of Daya inspected the courtyard, he said it would be easy to acquire. He then instructed Yun Yi and Daya to wait there while he hurried off to call the village chief and the owner of the courtyard.

"Uncle, this courtyard is so dilapidated, how did you fall in love with it?" When Yun Yi looked at the courtyard with its wattle fence covered in morning glories, and the large yard with several fruit trees, the graceful Daya standing beside him asked curiously, looking at Yun Yi with a smile.

"Hehe, the house in this courtyard is a bit old, but the courtyard is quite large, and there are many fruit trees. Plus, there's a stream not far from the courtyard, making it a very beautiful place. I really like it, Uncle does." Looking at the courtyard that suited his taste, and then at the delicate face of Daya standing beside him, Yun Yi smiled slightly and said, "What, Daya doesn't like it here?"

"No, I like it too. But I heard from my father that this courtyard is close to the stream outside the village, and the ground is a bit low. If there's heavy rain, the house will get damp." Daya's beautiful eyes glanced at the courtyard, then she looked at Yun Yi with a sweet smile.

"Hehe, it's no problem. As long as the scenery is good, it's worth paying a little price." Hearing Daya's well-intentioned reminder, Yun Yi smiled faintly and said softly, "In this world, how can there be good things without any cost? If you want to gain something, you must pay a price."

Listening to Yun Yi's mysterious words, Daya looked at him with a mix of understanding and confusion, her long eyelashes fluttering...

After negotiations between Daya's father and the original owner, the small courtyard was purchased for 30,000 yuan. The original owner, happy to have received the money, helped Yun Yi clean up the courtyard.

"Uncle, why did you spend so much money to buy this small courtyard? Is it really that good?" Daya, while tidying up the house, asked Yun Yi, who was also busy.

"Hehe, the scenery in this courtyard is very beautiful, and the air here is very fresh. Living in such an environment is priceless." Glancing at Daya, who was slightly bent over, wiping the glass, her pretty face slightly flushed, a few fine beads of sweat shining on her nose, and her rosy, tender lips lightly pursed, she looked very focused on her work.

Daya's skin was very fair, and her neck, below her small face, was white and slender, making her every movement graceful.

After a day of cleaning, the courtyard was completely transformed. The weeds that had once covered the yard were now all cleared away, and the pulled weeds were taken by some villagers to feed their sheep. The yard was then swept clean with a large broom.

The spider webs that had formed in the house due to long-term vacancy were also cleared away, and the walls were covered with posters of celebrities, instantly brightening the once dark and gloomy room.

"Uncle, the fruit on the trees in this courtyard is very delicious. When Grandpa Miao was alive, I often came here to eat peaches, apricots, and jujubes."

After Daya and Yun Yi finished tidying up the house, they sat on the threshold of the main room, looking at the scenery in the courtyard, waiting for dinner.

"At that time, the fruit trees were well cared for by Grandpa Miao, but after he died, the trees in the courtyard didn't grow well, and I never ate the fruit from the courtyard again." Sighing softly, the light in Daya's eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head, staring at the recently weeded courtyard.

"This is not a problem. Uncle can plant some fruit trees in the courtyard in the future. When the trees grow, I can let Daya come and eat the fruit. Isn't that good?" Seeing Daya's head lowered, Yun Yi smiled slightly and comforted her.

"Thank you, Uncle..." Hearing Yun Yi's words, a glimmer of light returned to Daya's eyes, and she looked at Yun Yi with a bright smile.

Yun Yi smiled slightly, looked at Daya's delicate face, and pointed to the spacious courtyard, saying in a gentle voice, "In the future, Uncle will plant many fruit trees in the courtyard, so that the most beautiful Daya can eat sweet fruit every day."

"Okay, then I will come to Uncle's place every day." Daya lifted her face and smiled sweetly at Yun Yi, like a blooming flower.

After dinner, Yun Yi returned to his small courtyard. He casually walked around the courtyard, and after the food had digested, he went back to the house, locked the door from the inside, and entered the space.

The space was still as bright as always, with a soft light that never changed. This light did not hurt Yun Yi's eyes, who had just come from a dark environment, and he quickly adapted to the light in the space.

Before entering, Yun Yi had already placed a shovel, some watermelon seeds, and a small bucket by the bed in the house.

"Judging by the fertility of the soil in the space, these seeds should sprout quickly." After looking around the space, Yun Yi chose to start near the small pond, as it was close to the water source and convenient for watering.

He dug a row of small holes in the fertile soil of the space, carefully planted the watermelon seeds, and then carefully covered them with a thin layer of soil.

After planting the watermelon seeds, Yun Yi walked to the small pond, filled the small bucket with a little water from the shallow pond, and then walked back to the watermelon plants to water them.

"Hey, the spring here is still active!" After watering with one bucket, when Yun Yi returned to the small pond to get more water, he was surprised to see that the spring in the middle of the pond, which he had just taken a fifth of the water from, was slowly bubbling, though the speed was slow, it was visible to the naked eye.

"Great, I was worried that such good spring water would run out, but now it seems there's no need to worry." Seeing the spring still bubbling, Yun Yi was very happy. He vaguely felt that the spring water had a miraculous effect on the human body, as his body felt much better today than before.

"Yes, if it has a positive effect on the human body, which is at the top of the food chain, then according to the food chain principle, it should have an even greater effect on plants." While continuing to water the watermelon seeds, Yun Yi calculated in his mind, wanting to see how much the space water would promote the growth of the watermelon seeds.

Yun Yi brought only about thirty seeds this time, planting them in an area of about thirty square meters in the space.

After watering, Yun Yi looked around the space and saw that there was no other work to do besides the newly planted watermelon seeds, so he exited the space.

Back in the dark bedroom, Yun Yi was still full of energy. Not knowing the time, he picked up his phone and saw that it was not yet ten o'clock at night. He had entered the space at eight, and only a little over an hour had passed.

Lying in bed, Yun Yi listened to the chirping of insects in the courtyard and the gentle breeze of the mountain night rustling through the treetops. In this chorus of the mountain village's animal orchestra, he soon fell asleep unconsciously...
