Chapter 3 Mysterious Space

Chapter 3 Mysterious Space

In the early morning, the sound of birds outside woke Qin Zhi from his sweet dream. Qin Zhi opened his eyes and looked around the dilapidated room. It seemed that he had really had a sweet dream. The scene in the dream was so real that he could feel the fragrance of dumplings still lingering between his teeth.

Qin Zhi felt that his body had fully recovered, and there was no pain from the wound last night. Qin Zhi touched his head, and he couldn't feel the wound on his head. The wound was quite obvious last night. What happened? Qin Zhi was going to put on his clothes and go out to find a basin of clean water to look at the wound. Who knew that when he looked down, he found that he was wearing the pajamas he changed into in the dream. What happened? Wasn't it a dream?

Qin Zhi thought that it would be great if she could go in again, at least to change her clothes, otherwise her sister and mother would find out that her clothes were missing, that would be terrible. Before she could finish her thought, she suddenly changed into the small villa again. Qin Zhi quickly changed into dried clothes, took a few bags of food from the refrigerator, and quickly changed back to the small shabby house. Then she went in and out again, and Qin Zhi found that her thoughts could control herself. As long as she thought about it, she could enter and exit the small villa at will. This is great. In this strange world, if something happens, this is also a way out for herself. However, Qin Zhi did not plan to tell anyone about this, not even Qin Zhen and Shen. She did not understand this world yet, and she still understood the principle that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. If others knew that she was possessed by a ghost and had this secret villa, they would think of her as a monster.

Qin Zhi fetched a basin of water and found that he looked pure and beautiful in the water. There was no trace of the wound on his head. Qin Zhi lifted his sleeves and found that the bruises on his arms were gone. Could it be because of the water yesterday? It seems that he should try it out next time.

It was still early, Qin Zhen and Shen were not at home, probably going to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. They were forced to move to this small hut yesterday, and there was nothing to eat at home. Qin Zhi thought that his sister and mother must have gone out hungry.

Qin Zhi looked through the food he had just brought out of the villa's refrigerator. There were a few purple sweet potatoes, a few eggs, and a small bag of flour.

Qin Zhi steamed the purple sweet potatoes, beat a few eggs, mixed them with white flour to make a stack of omelettes, and then grabbed a handful of broken rice and cooked a pot of porridge.

It was already daybreak. Shen and Qin Zhen were each carrying a bundle of firewood, and Qin Zhen was holding a half basket of wild vegetables. Alas, the wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain had been almost dug up by the villagers, and the family didn't have any land. If things continued like this, the mother and daughter would starve to death. Shen was worried as she walked home.

"Mom, look at the table." Qin Zhen and her friends saw breakfast on the table as soon as they entered the house.

Qin Zhi heard the sound and knew that his mother and sister had returned. He quickly ran out to take the basket from his sister and helped his mother take down the firewood on her back. Qin Zhen also put down the firewood on her back.

"Xiao Zhi, where did the food on the table come from?" Shen looked at the food. It didn't look like it was given by the villagers. The white flour used to make the pancakes was not something that everyone had. Even if they did, such precious things would be kept for the New Year and other festivals. They would not be willing to waste it on ordinary days.

Qin Zhi lowered his head. He thought, he was just focused on taking it and didn't think about how to explain to his mother and the others.

"Xiao Zhi, although our family is poor, we must be upright and not steal other people's things." Seeing that Qin Zhi didn't say anything, Shen thought that Qin Zhi had stolen from other people's homes and didn't dare to admit it.

"Mom, I didn't steal this. Let's eat it while it's hot. I'll tell you after we're done."

"Xiao Zhi, don't you know what kind of person your mother is? If you don't tell me clearly where it came from, your mother won't eat it." Qin Zhen saw that Shen was hiding signs of anger, so she quickly asked Qin Zhi to explain.

Qin Zhi glanced at the two mother and daughter. His mother and sister were the closest people to him in the world. They would never hurt him. Even if he told them the truth, they would not leave him. He should be honest with them at the beginning so that he would not have to be careful about what to eat in the future.

"Mom, sister, please sit down. I will tell you the truth." Qin Zhi helped Shen sit down. Qin Zhen also sat down, staring at Qin Zhi, waiting for her explanation.

"Mom, look at the wound on my head," Qin Zhi pointed to the wound on his head and showed it to Shen. Shen looked at the place on Qin Zhi's head that was a horrible wound yesterday, but today it became intact without any trace. Suddenly, she was stunned. Shen suddenly jumped up and grabbed Qin Zhi's arm, lifted up her sleeve, and found that her arm was also white and tender, without any scars. Shen checked Qin Zhi again and saw the butterfly birthmark on Qin Zhi's shoulder. Fortunately, this was her daughter, not someone else's impersonation.

"Xiao Zhi, what's going on? Why are all the wounds on your body gone? Even a miracle doctor can't do this." Shen asked Qin Zhi with a confused look on her face.

"Mom, what I'm going to say next may be a little unbelievable, but it's true."

Next, Qin Zhi told Shen about his dream about the mysterious space, and slowly explained to them that his wounds healed after bathing in the pool of water; he took food from the refrigerator inside, and when he looked back, the refrigerator was full again; he picked fruit from the fruit tree inside, and then a bigger fruit popped out of the tree. He also explained to Shen that the breakfast on the table was taken from inside.

Shen totally didn't believe that such a magical thing could exist in the world.

Qin Zhi looked at Shen's expression and knew that she was still skeptical, so he asked Shen to watch him perform.

Qin Zhi stretched out his hands and took out a bunch of grapes from the refrigerator with his mind. Seeing a bunch of grapes appear out of thin air in Qin Zhi's empty hands, Shen and Qin Zhen opened their mouths wide. Wow, this is incredible. Xiao Zhi went through the gates of hell and came back with such a magical skill.

"Mom, you and sister won't have to work so hard in the future. We don't have to worry about going hungry anymore." Although Qin Zhi had just traveled through time, he felt uncomfortable when he thought of the suffering his mother and sister had endured in the Qin family. Perhaps this was affected by the original owner's emotions.

When Shen first saw her little daughter's miraculous ability, she was indeed happy for a moment, but soon she became anxious. She had no power and influence, and if someone with ulterior motives knew about it, it would be a disaster for her daughter.

Shen took Qin Zhi and warned Qin Zhen and Qin Zhi not to tell anyone about this, not even their father Qin Erzhu. If their foolish and filial father knew about it, the group of idiots in the old Qin family would also know about it, and they would definitely try every means to squeeze Qin Zhi. When the time comes, it will be exposed, and they will not be able to protect Qin Zhi.

"Xiaozhen, Xiaozhi, we can't let our guard down. We have to live the same way as before. We still have to go out to chop wood and dig wild vegetables as usual. Xiaozhi, be careful with what you eat and don't let anyone outside find out. We just moved out now and there are so many people watching us. When we have more time, we can live more easily."

"Xiaozhi, mother is right. We'd better endure a hard time during this period. If the Qin family finds out something is wrong and comes to make trouble, we won't be able to withstand it." Qin Zhen also said to Qin Zhi seriously.

"Yes, I know. Let's eat our fill today, and I'll go digging wild vegetables with you tomorrow."

Qin Zhi urged everyone to eat breakfast quickly and not leave any traces.

Shen and Qin Zhen sat down. The breakfast on the table was too rich for them. When they were in the Qin family, they didn't have any delicious food during the New Year. They were given a bowl of porridge for every meal all year round. Except for their second room, everyone else ate better than them. But now they have finally left the Qin family, and everything will slowly get better.

"Xiaozhi, this cake is so delicious." Qin Zhen raised her thumb while eating.

"Of course it's delicious, made with such precious white flour." Shen also said with a smile.

"Sister, we need to eat well today and start a new life tomorrow."

"Yes, Xiaozhi, this is the happiest day for me in these years. As long as we leave the Qin family, we will get better and better."

The Shen family, mother and daughter, were all very satisfied with the meal. After taking a short rest, they began to clean up the shabby house. Since they were settling down, they should treat this place as their real home.

Shen cut a lot of reeds by the stream behind the house, dried them, and laid a thick layer on the roof, so that there would be no need to worry about leaks when it rained. After doing all this, Qin Zhen and Qin Zhi also cleaned up the two rooms. But when they left the Qin family, they had nothing, not even a quilt. Fortunately, it was summer now, so they could do without a quilt. But it was really unbearable to have no change of clothes in such a hot day. It seemed that they had to find a way to make money.

At night, Qin Zhi did not use the food in the small space. He only took out a little salt and cooked the wild vegetables he had dug during the day, which were at least edible. After eating, he took out the wormwood he had cut behind the house during the day. The wormwood had been exposed to the sun in the yard for an afternoon and had dried up. He lit the wormwood in the two rooms to fumigate them, so he didn't have to feed mosquitoes at night.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Shen frowned. Who would come here at night? She was the only woman at home with a pair of twin daughters. This shabby hut was at the foot of the mountain. There was no one around. It was also a quarter of an hour away from the village. If anything happened, no one would be able to help.

Shen picked up a wooden stick from the kitchen and walked to the door. "Who?"

There was no answer at the door, but the knocking continued.
