The Amusing Adventures of a Directionally Challenged Dad and Daughter

Chapter 2

"Darling, are you awake? Are you hungry? Quickly drink the porridge."

Old Gu Six happily brought in a small bowl of thick porridge.

The man was estimated to be one meter eighty-five tall, even in the post-apocalyptic world, he was quite outstanding, although he appeared somewhat slender.

Dressed in coarse clothes, with a straight figure and a sturdy lower body, he was clearly someone who trained.

His narrow and elongated phoenix eyes slightly arched upwards, the smile in his eyes diluting much of the sharp, not-so-easy-to-get-along-with feeling.

His thin lips curved up, his smile bright, making him appear somewhat silly.

Gu Chang'an: A good-looking man ruined by his smile.

"Have you eaten?"

"Eaten," he would make some black dough later.

"When you lie to me, your eyes wander," his wandering eyes betrayed his guilt.

"Darling, you eat first, and later I'll make some black dough to eat. In the afternoon, I'll go to the city to buy grains."

"You sit down and listen to me," come, listen to my story.

Gu Chang'an got up from the bed, pulled him to sit on a stool, and she sat beside him.

Then she said, "Wasn't I unconscious for quite some time before?"

Old Gu Six placed the porridge on the table and remained silent for a while before saying, "A day."

"Yes, don't be afraid. I didn't die, I went to another place."

Old Gu Six's pupils slightly contracted, somewhat disbelieving.

"What place?"

Gu Chang'an thought of the world before the apocalypse.

"Heaven on Earth? I was originally from that world, but because of the calamity, my master sent me here, reborn as your daughter.

Yesterday, because of my unstable soul, my master summoned me back, that world is currently very unsafe, so my master sent me back here again."

"I didn't have memories of my past life before yesterday, but now that I'm back, I remember everything."

Old Gu Six was somewhat uneasy and fearful of losing her, he asked, "If that world becomes safe, will you leave?"

He didn't expect his daughter to have such a background, facing a calamity? It sounded very powerful.

"No, don't worry, I am your daughter, and I will never change in this lifetime.

I will always be with you until this life is over, only then will I have completed the calamity."

For the reward of that lifetime of merit, she must accompany you until the end.

Old Gu Six felt relieved, who her daughter was in her past life didn't matter, what mattered was that in this life, she was his daughter, Old Gu Six's daughter.

For a lifetime.

"Is my darling a little fairy?"

"...Yes, I am a little fairy who won't let you go hungry."

The matter of space definitely had to be mentioned, otherwise, how could they survive the journey of calamity?

There had to be someone to cover for her, right?

If she were to escape the calamity alone, that was fine, didn't she still have a father?

In their family, it was just the two of them, she had to keep it a secret.

She bet on Old Gu Six's love for his daughter, if she won, everyone would be happy.

If she lost? She'd leave him, she didn't want the merit of a lifetime.

Mysterious species timely appeared: Don't worry, he loves his daughter more than himself, he won't say anything even if he dies.

Gu Chang'an: You know him very well?

Mysterious species: Of course.

Gu Chang'an: Can I take Old Six to find a place in the deep mountains and old forests to hide, and come out when the disaster is over, okay?

Mysterious Species: Are you really so naive? Do you think it's easy to hide in the ancient deep mountains and forests? If it's easy to hide, why are so many people fleeing? Do you think you're clever?

Who doesn't know that there are water sources in the deep mountains and forests? In such a serious drought situation, how deep into the mountains do you have to go to find a water source?

Jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, poisonous snakes, giant pythons, all fierce beasts gather in the deep mountains and forests, how many of them can you handle?

Even if you have lightning powers, can you keep using them without running out?

Stop thinking about it, go flee, come on, I'll plan an escape route for you, stop hiding all the time, go out and see the world.

You are currently in the eastern region, head north.

Gu Chang'an: No, aren't droughts in novels usually in the north? How is this the east?

Mysterious Species: Droughts in the east and west regions, locust plagues in the southwest, water disasters in the south, currently only Lingnan and the north are normal.

Gu Chang'an: Is this the end of the world? Causing so many disasters.

Mysterious Species: The new world is unstable, and for reasons that are not convenient to disclose.

Gu Chang'an: Get lost!!!

Mysterious Species: Alright!

Old Gu Six took out a bag of 20 kilograms of rice from the side, and Gu Lao Liu saw the sudden appearance of something.

Hmm? Such a strange packaging, but he can read.

Northeast Wuchang Rice?

Old Gu Six grinned foolishly, "My daughter is truly a little fairy."

"Don't get too excited yet, Master said that this world will experience a severe drought for three and a half years, and the supplies Master gave me are only enough for the two of us to eat for two years.

There will be a cold wave in October, very, very cold, the kind that can freeze people to death, in about half a month we will have to go flee.

We must quickly prepare supplies, how much silver do you have?"

Old Gu Six's pupils shook, a severe drought for three and a half years? Is God not giving people a way to survive?

How cold is cold enough to freeze people?

"I have three hundred and seventy taels, let's go prepare supplies this afternoon."

"Okay."

"Daughter, you must not reveal your powers to anyone else, and do not use them outside, if you must use them, I must be by your side."

"Okay."

"We can't use this bag for rice, next time you take it out, just tear the bag."

"Do we have a large container or bag for rice at home?" Let's unpack some of it first.

"We have cloth bags, I'll go get them for you."

Old Gu Six went to his own room and brought back five cloth bags from the cabinet.

The cloth bags were not big, they could only hold about twenty pounds.

It's okay, they can be reused.

Gu Chang'an opened the rice bag, "Dad, lift it up and pour it into the cloth bags."

They transferred the rice to the cloth bags, and Gu Chang'an then took out a piece of pork, a handful of bok choy, and then a bucket of mineral water from the space refrigerator.

"Dad, you go cook, I'll pack the food."

Old Gu Six saw things appearing out of thin air and his hands trembled, "My daughter is a little fairy."

Gu Chang'an: ...

"Daughter, we can't take out this water container either."

"Okay, I know, you pour the water into the container, I'll put away this bucket."

Old Gu Six ran to the kitchen and brought a clean water container, he hadn't seen such clean water in months.

He poured the water, took the rice, meat, and vegetables, and quickly returned to the kitchen to cook.

After Old Gu Six left, Gu Chang'an took back the plastic bucket into the space and remembered someone mentioning her having lightning superpowers.

She calmed her mind and sensed it, pleasantly surprised to find out that her superpowers had indeed followed her, just a bit weaker than before.

Before, she could kill zombies with one strike, but now she could probably just electrocute them to a half-dead state, but not immediately kill them.

It's better to be weak than to have nothing at all.

Gu Chang'an went into the space, filled four small cloth bags with rice, and decided not to mention it to anyone since her house was somewhat unsafe.

She smelled the stench on her body, realizing that in this water-deprived state, the original owner probably hadn't bathed for months.

Thinking about how Old Gu Six had just hugged her and cried, truly showing no disgust, being blood-related after all.

She took a bath in the bathroom, then washed her hair, feeling like she had lost twenty pounds.

Looking at the little girl in the mirror, at the age of eight, with milk-white skin, a round face, big eyes, long and curly eyelashes, a delicate nose, and a cherry-like mouth.

A real-life SD doll?

Adorable!
