The Farmer’s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket

Chapter 1379: Gu Yundong’s Sharp Questions

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong thought that since they were so eager, she would not stand on ceremony.

"Okay, then let me ask you. Why do horses sleep standing up? Why is it usually sunny in the morning when there’s dew? Why is it colder when snow melts than when it falls? Why can’t the oil that’s on fire be put out with water?"

The Young Princess widened her eyes. She, she did not know.

But before she could answer, Gu Yundong’s next questions followed. "When you hit a snake, you hit its weak spot. Where does the weak spot refer to? What is the most precious thing in the bird’s nest? What’s the use of a cat’s whisker? What kind of plants bloom first and then grow leaves?"

As soon as Gu Yundong finished speaking, there was silence.

Everyone looked at her blankly. These questions were different from what they had imagined.

None of them knew.

The Young Princess was so anxious that she started to sweat. Her teacher had never taught her before, and there was no such thing in the books. How could she answer?

She could only turn her head quietly and look at the maid behind her.

The maidservant naturally did not know, but she did not want to show her ignorance in front of the young princess, so she immediately targeted Gu Yundong.

The maidservant sneered and said, "You’re quite nimble with your questions. Who can’t ask these questions? But do you know the answers? You probably don’t know and are specially using them to scare people, right?"

The other maidservants immediately echoed, "That’s right, that’s right. Do you know the answers? Why should you ask someone else for an answers you don’t even know?"

The older ones also nodded. "You must have asked randomly."

"No, she did not," Qin Anning immediately defended Gu Yundong and retorted. "My Sister Gu definitely knows. She’s very powerful."

When the Young Princess heard the support of the people around her, her guilty conscience immediately disappeared. She also looked at Gu Yundong. "Tell me the answers if you have the ability."

"Okay." Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Firstly, a horse has a big body and doesn’t have sharp teeth or claws. If it lies down to sleep, once a ferocious beast attacks, it will be too late to defend or escape. Therefore, a horse has developed the habit of sleeping standing up to protect itself."

"Second, on a clear and cloudless night, the heat on the ground will dissipate quickly. The temperature in the field will decrease rapidly, and the ability to contain water vapor in the air will weaken. This way, the water vapor will condense on the grass, leaves, or rocks. Therefore, it’s usually sunny in the morning when there’s dew."

"Three, when the snow stops and the sky clears, there will be no clouds in the sky to block sunlight. The snow will begin to melt under the sunlight and absorb heat, so it will be colder when the snow melts."

"Fourth, oil is lighter than water. When it burns, if you pour water into it, the water will immediately sink to the bottom of the oil. The oil will float up and flow out of the pot. Of course, the fire will burn brighter and brighter. It’s best to immediately cover the pot to extinguish the oil pot fire."

After Gu Yundong finished speaking, she looked at the girls in front of her who were blinking in shock. She suddenly felt that... she was bullying them?

She spoke faster. "The seven inches of a snake is the heart. The most precious bird’s nest is the blood swallow. A cat’s whisker is used to detect the width of the road. Plants like winter plums white jasper, and elm plums bloom first before growing leaves. Buying the shell and returning the pearl is a metaphor for people who only pay attention to the appearance of things and not their substance."

She said the last sentence very meaningfully.

As expected, the two older girls instantly understood what she meant and felt a little ashamed.
