Su Manni deeply understood Mr. Gu's intelligence and talent, and she made this decision after careful consideration.

In comparison, she thought Mr. Gu was easier to get close to than that little brat.

Mr. Gu...who gave you this illusion?

Therefore, after hearing the system's suggestion that afternoon, she asked her aunt who was working nearby about Mr. Gu's situation. Then, she seized the time and walked stealthily towards the mountain.

As expected, she saw Mr. Gu tying up firewood not far away, so she walked up to him, pretending to be pitiful and said, "Mr. Gu, it's great to see you! Can I discuss something with you?"

However, what Su Manni didn't know was that although Gu Zhonghua was in the mountains, his mental power was always paying attention to the movements in the village. When the female educated youth started walking towards the mountain, he already knew it.

Moreover, he knew clearly that his clever little granddaughter was wearing an invisibility charm and standing next to him, observing the movements here silently.

This little girl had been missing for the entire afternoon and no one knew where she had gone to play. As soon as she returned to the village, she started to act up. The old man shook his head helplessly, then turned around and looked at the educated youth in front of him.

Old Gu asked, "Comrade educated youth, I don't usually go around in the village, so I'm afraid I can't be of any help to you. It's getting late, and it's quite dangerous on the mountain. You'd better go back early." After that, Old Gu picked up the bundle of firewood and prepared to leave.

But how could Su Manni give up so easily? She bit her lips tightly and tried hard to hold back her tears. She looked so pitiful.

She said to Grandpa Gu in a tearful voice, "Grandpa Gu, those people in the educated youth camp always bully me. You saw it last time. I was beaten all over by them and I haven't fully recovered yet! Can I move in with you? Don't worry, I will pay you rent every month, and I will still eat at the educated youth camp. I just want to stay at your house at night, is that okay?"

After hearing what she said, Mr. Gu refused without even thinking, "No, comrade educated youth, I only have a few rooms in my house. My granddaughter has one room, and I have one room. My sister's place is small to begin with, and she has a few grandchildren who sometimes want to stay at my place when they come back. There's really no room for them!"

When Su Manni heard this, she quickly said, "I can live in the same room with Sister Tang Hua. Don't worry, I will get along well with this little sister!" As she spoke, she squeezed out a few tears, looking even more pitiful.

Mr. Gu completely ignored her and didn't even bother to give her a glance. He just picked up the firewood and strode away.

Su Manni stood there, staring at Mr. Gu's departing back, her face full of resentment and anger, her distorted face impossible to ignore.

However, all of this was seen by Gu Lao, who possessed spiritual power, and Tang Hua, who was hiding behind him. Gu Lao shook his head helplessly and sighed in his heart: "This is simply a vicious snake! It seems that I have to discuss with my granddaughter how to solve this problem. After all, if we continue to let this poisonous snake stay in the village, I am afraid that it will become a huge disaster sooner or later."

He knew that decisive measures had to be taken to protect the peace and harmony of the village.

Gu returned home, washed her face, and just as she put the towel away, she saw Huabao coming out of the room. Seeing her smiling face, he went back to the room to make a bottle of milk and handed it to her, then asked, "Where did you go this afternoon?"

"I went to deliver a package, and when I came back and took a look around the shed, I saw Su Manni sneaking up the mountain to look for you." Tang Hua said while drinking milk from the bottle.

"Oh? Do you have any ideas?"

"All I can say is that we can't find a way to deal with it for now, and we can't let her leave the village."

Mr. Gu nodded in agreement. He stroked Tang Hua's hair, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"However, we still have to be careful. Su Manni is a person with bad intentions. She might try every means to live in our house." Old Gu warned.

Tang Hua nodded obediently, "Grandpa, I know. I will always keep an eye on her movements."

As the days passed, Sumani did not give up the idea of ​​getting close to their family, and often showed a pitiful expression in the village, trying to arouse the sympathy of the villagers.

That morning, Tang Hua was still sleeping soundly in her warm bed. At this time, the voice of the system came into her mind, "My lady, I found that in addition to Ruan Feiyi, several other educated youths who were close to the heroine looked a little pale this morning, as if they had just recovered from a serious illness. Their luck is slowly disappearing. I suspect that they were absorbed by Su Manni's system last night."

Tang Hua jumped up instantly after hearing this, then she got dressed, got off the kang, took some breakfast prepared by her grandfather and went out. It was just the beginning of the work day and the villagers were still walking to the fields.

She spread her spiritual power like ripples throughout the village, including the mountains, and felt something was different. She asked solemnly, "Tongzi, Su Manni's system has been upgraded. I feel that this village has become different."

"You mean it can absorb itself after upgrading? If so..."

"If this continues, this village and even the surrounding villages will become very dangerous."

"My lord, what should we do now?" asked the system.

"Look in the space study to see if there are any books on this subject. I'll call grandpa back."

After saying that, he spread his mental power to the valley where his grandfather practiced in the morning. When he saw someone, he teleported over directly. As soon as he appeared, he said directly, "Grandpa, if there is anything, let's go home."

After that, he took Grandpa into the space and then returned home. After Gu Zhonghua was brought back, he asked, "Huabao, what happened?"

Tang Hua said with a serious face, "Grandpa, use your mental power to feel the situation of this village carefully."

Gu Zhonghua concentrated his energy and used his mental power to detect the surroundings. After a moment, his expression became serious.

"My mental strength may not be strong enough. I didn't notice anything this morning, but now I feel something is wrong." Gu Zhonghua frowned, and then said, "I feel a strange energy fluctuation that seems to be affecting the luck of the entire village."

Tang Hua asked anxiously, "Grandpa, this morning I saw two educated youths who were close to Su Manni, and I found that their luck was disappearing little by little. I originally thought that she would not attack the people around her, but I didn't expect that."

Gu Zhonghua pondered for a moment and said, "The cornered dog has jumped over the wall. The main thing is that this absorbs... is an object, not a person. If it were a person, Grandpa would be able to stop it in a minute. Go to the space and look for books to see if there are any books on this subject."

Tang Hua nodded, quickly returned to her room and entered the space. When she came to the study and saw books floating in the air, she knew that the system was also looking for books on this subject. She came to another corner, and her mental power shuttled through the books, looking for books on this subject.

At the same time, Gu Zhonghua walked out of the house and walked along every corner of the village. He was looking for a place to prevent Huabao from finding any books on the subject so that he could make plans. Moreover, time was running out. The more this thing he absorbed, the more powerful it would be. He had to act as soon as possible to protect the safety of the village.
