“Tools? Are you going to mow the lawn manually?”
“Are you for real? Manually? Like with your hands? The yard isn’t a small place. Can you finish it within the day? You will be exhausted!”
“I also have a piece of land back in my hometown, and I know how exhausting it can be to mow your lawn manually!”
“+1! I’d rather pour some weed killer over the grass than remove them by hand!”
Su Yu answered, “Actually, removing the weeds isn’t as exhausting as you think, and this is my own front yard, so using weed killer in my own yard isn’t the brightest idea.”
He then walked next door and knocked on his neighbor’s door.
“Uncle Zhang, are you home?”
He waited for a while in front of his neighbor’s door, but no one answered him.
“Hoho, I think no one’s home. Dude, I don’t think you will get an answer.”
“Why don’t you go to your other neighbor?”
Su Yu replied, “It’s fine. I’ll just go in and take them. I’ll drop Uncle Zhang a message when he returns or when I return the tools.”
“Wait, are you serious? Isn’t that a little inappropriate? It’s basically stealing, no?”
“Hoho! This guy is stealing on live stream! Guys, we can call the police now!”
Su Yu was speechless when he checked the comments.
“Guys, it’s not a serious crime. I’ve known the owner of this house for more than a decade, and he basically watched me grew up. I used to take things from Uncle Zhang even when he wasn’t home. I have the keys to his house anyway. I guess this is a perk of living in the countryside village. We can just walk into our neighbor’s house and take what we need. All we need to do is tell them afterward. There’s no stealing or whatever around here.”
“I can relate. Neighbors in rural villages are usually closer to each other. It’s something that we city folks just don’t learn.”
“Yeah. You might live in the city for a decade and not even know the gender of your neighbor. Judging from the situation, living in the countryside is better since you know each and everyone around your area.”
“It makes me wanna go home. Too bad I’m poor and I have to work. I envy you, dude!”
Su Yu went back for the keys and opened Uncle Zhang’s gate. He easily made his way to the backyard and found a full set of farming tools.
After he brought the tools back to his front yard, he rolled up his sleeves and readjusted the camera on the tripod.
“Okay, let’s remove some weeds!”
Then, he started his work.
Su Yu’s front yard occupied quite a spacious land—almost 200 square meters, to be exact. With such a huge front yard, he could even pose as the landlord in olden times and people would believe him.
Su Yu had no idea why his front yard was this big.
The spacious front yard was a nice place to hang out in, but since it was filled with weeds, it was quite a hassle to remove them all.
After working for half an hour, Su Yu already used all the tools that he got: the hoe, the rake, and even the sickle. Despite using every available tool at his disposal, all he did was clear a small area.
The viewers felt exhausted for him.
“Geez, it’s summer and he’s removing weeds in his front yard under the sun. It’s torture to look at.”
“I checked the temperature in Hangyuan City and it’s a whopping 39 Celcius degrees! What a mad lad! I can’t even last 10 minutes outside in such ridiculous temperatures.”
“His hardworking spirit really moves me! I’m impressed!”
[Princess Piggy sent you a Magic Tome!]
“Good job, handsome. Why don’t you take a rest first and continue later? It’s so hot out there. You might get a stroke.”
Su Yu noticed the gift that he had received from his viewer.
“Thank you, Princess Piggy, for the Magic Tome. It’s fine. It’s only been half an hour, so I’m still far from a stroke. I’d better finish it quickly. Otherwise, I won’t be able to do anything once the sky turns dark.”
“The number of weeds in the front yard ruin my mood, and if I don’t clear them by today, I might have to feed the mosquitoes at night.”
The tall and messy weeds were the best spot for mosquitoes to breed. If he could not clear the weeds before dark, the swarm of mosquitoes might suck his blood dry at night.
Fortunately, Su Yu did not have to worry. The weather might be unforgiving, but he had access to a spirit well, where the water could re-energize his body.
If he got tired halfway, he could take a rest and drink a glass of spiritual water to replenish his stamina. Then, his exhaustion would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Even though he had to work under the harsh sun at almost 40 Celsius degrees, the spirit water could cool him down and he could keep working.
He picked up his hoe and continued toiling away!
“Awesome! This dude’s zodiac sign must be a donkey! His resistance to heat is incredible!”
“He’s not afraid of heat! I’m impressed!”
“Fighting! Handsome!”
[Ms. Black Pineapple sent you a Money Gun]
[Princess Piggy sent you a Magic Tome]
“Thank you all for your gifts. I’m already halfway done. Let me take a toilet break and I’ll continue later.”
Su Yu had been drinking the spiritual water as he worked, so he had to unload his bladder. After excusing himself from his viewers, he ran to the toilet.
“Hahaha! The dude can’t hold it anymore! He’s been guzzling water while he worked!”
“Pee Style Water Jutsu!”
“Shocked! Lion Fang’s streamer is earning millions by streaming…nothing?!”
“Hey, look at that! At the lower-left corner, what’s that?”
While Su Yu was away, a white figure flashed across the corner of the front yard. Several eagle-eyed viewers spotted it.
The white figure was fast as it was moving across the ground. With the cut-down weeds providing cover, one could easily miss it if not one was not paying attention.
The white figure wriggled through the yard and made its way to the well.
When the white figure stopped moving, the eagle-eyed viewers finally got a clear look at what it really was.
“Snake! Holy sh*t! Snake! The dude has a snake in his front yard!”
“That’s a huge snake! Wait, given that size, it’s a freakin’ python!”
“Dude, run! There’s a huge snake in your front yard!”
“Fortunately, the handsome guy went to the toilet. He might have ended up in the snake’s stomach otherwise.”
“What should we do? Why don’t we call the police? Is it really okay? That snake is huge! Is he in danger?”
“Even if you want to call the police, you don’t know where his house is! All we know is that it’s in Hangyuan City, but the place is ridiculously huge. Wo knows where his house is?!”
“Wait, guys! Look, what is the white snake trying to do?”
The comments were spamming the stream.
The huge white snake wriggled to the well and slowly crawled into the bucket that Su Yu used to fetch the water out of the well.
Then, it started to drink from the bucket.
The viewers were shocked.
“Wait, is this for real? The snake came here just to drink?”
“This is a little bizarre. Is the well in the dude’s yard sweeter than anywhere else? Why is such a big python drinking from his well?”
Amidst the heated discussion and enthusiastic comments, Su Yu came back from the toilet.
When he arrived at his front yard, he could already see the long white snake drinking happily from the bucket beside his well.
His return was swiftly spotted by the viewers.
“Sh*t! The dude’s back!”
“Run, handsome! You might still make it!”
“Is he stunned?! Why is he standing there? Run! A guy like you is no match for a snake that size!”
Actually, Su Yu wanted to run when he saw the snake, but before he could react instinctively, he noticed the snake’s gaze.
Having noticed Su Yu’s presence as well, the snake turned around. Its eyes were trained on Su Yu who could no longer escape.
Hiss!
Su Yu stared at the snake and smiled awkwardly. “Uhh, hey, snake, what’s up?”
