Summer 2013
In a small town in G County of SD province, the trees kept calling out as they got wind of what was going on.
Under such a hot weather, Gao Yang, who had just finished work at 5 PM, was unwilling to ride the bike home under the huge sun.
She didn't rush back to the dorm like her colleagues. She lowered her head and kicked the pebbles on the road in boredom. She wasn't planning to go home today anyways. It was useless rushing back to the dorm so she might as well go slowly!
But considering that her parents might be worried if she didn't go home, she pulled out her cell phone and dialed a familiar number.
The moment the call connected, her mother's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yang, what's the matter?"
When Gao Yang heard her mother's voice, some unhappiness arose in her heart.
She actually knew that her mother wanted her to come home a few more times, for either nothing or her marriage.
Her family were all worried. After all, she was twenty-four years old.
In their village, if a twenty-four year old girl still didn't marry, then she would really be a 'leftover girl'. There would really be gossip.
Actually, it wasn't that Gao Yang didn't want to go back, it was just that she really didn't want to get married.
It wasn't that she herself had experienced any emotional betrayal, but that she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take responsibility for her marriage.
Gao Yang remembered that when she was young, her father and siblings were more numerous, and her granny had never seen her for a day.
At that time, when she was still young and insensible, she asked her mother naively, "Why doesn't my grandmother like me? Is it Yang who is disobedient?"
At that time, she was still young, so she didn't know what that lonely, angry and sad expression on her mother's face meant.
When she grew up and learned what the expression on her mother's face meant, she was truly afraid of marriage.
The truth was that the matter was extremely simple. It was just that her grandmother didn't like her parents because her parents had married due to love.
It was because of this that her grandmother often looked for her mother to settle things, and her father could only be troubled on both sides. Gao Yang had grown up in this kind of environment.
The moment her family was about to get married, she immediately thought about the grievances her mother had suffered. She felt that her mother was not worthy of her.
However, she really couldn't tell her family about this. She couldn't tell them that she saw her grandmother making things difficult for her when she was young, right?
The hot weather was one of the reasons she didn't go home today. The most important reason was that she was afraid that when she went home, she would hear endless persuasion from her family.
Is marriage really that good? If she were to meet a grandma like her grandma, who knows if she would go crazy. It would be better if she were two years late!
"I'm not going back today, Mom! It's too hot, I still need to ride for half an hour on the road, I really don't want to go back, otherwise I would definitely turn into dried meat when I get home. "
Gao Yang complained to her mother on purpose, but Gao Yang was actually still upset about it.
On the other side of the phone, Gao's Mother heard her daughter's words. How could she not know what this girl meant? Seriously, there really wasn't anything to be afraid of!
Besides, didn't she force him now?
"Since you don't want to come back, then stay outside and pay attention to your safety. You must come back in a few days after the weekend."
Gao Yang happily picked up the answer she wanted, and kissed the phone: "Mom, I love you the most!"
"Girl, you just know how to pick up a good tune. If you really do love me, then it's better if you settle down early."
"I know, Mom, I won't say anymore. I'm hanging up. I'm going to eat dinner on the street today. Bye bye."
"Alright, let's not talk about you anymore. You have to pay more attention to the cars on the road!" Hearing her mother's orders, Gao Yang instinctively nodded her head and said, "I understand!"
Then he hung up.
After getting the answer she wanted, Gao Yang was no longer depressed. She happily ran back to her dorm and changed her clothes.
Today, she was going to buy some things she liked. It had been a long time since she last went shopping. These past few days, she had been home every day and was being talked about by her family.
It had been a long time since she went shopping. She wondered if there was something she liked on the streets!
Riding on her electric car, Gao Yang arrived at the place where she frequently ate noodles. She ordered a bowl of beef noodle soup and prepared to have a beautiful meal!
Looking at the green onion and parsley floating in the bowl, Gao Yang felt like drooling at the sight of them.
When she finished the noodles in the bowl, Gao Yang felt extremely satisfied.
"Boss, pay!"
Gao Yang waved to the boss of the noodle shop and said with a smile.
"Come on, have you finished eating? Come next time!"
The boss of the noodle store took the money from Gao Yang with a smile, and said to her.
"Alright, I will!"
After paying, Gao Yang pushed her electric car to their town's pedestrian street.
Some of the stalls here would often have strange things on them. Gao Yang liked to come here and play with some of the little things.
Today, as usual, she had come to this stall to look for something she liked.
Gao Yang had heard that this place seemed to have antiques for sale, she didn't understand either, it was just watching the crowd gather here.
As she watched the others pick things out, she happily pulled over to the side of the road.
Squat down to choose a favorite item to wear, anyway the items on the stall is not expensive!
Gao Yang reckoned that the stall did not have any loopholes, like the ones in the novels, at all. She looked around and picked out a bracelet with a red rope written on it.
It looked similar to the color of the jade Buddha she saw in the shopping mall, but Gao Yang knew that this object was made of glass.
However, Gao Yang found it very pleasing to the eye, so she spent 5 yuan to buy the bracelet and put it on her hand.
After buying the bracelet, he also bought some snacks and fruits.
Although there was no road robbery in this small town of G County, it was not safe for a girl to go out too late!
Besides, Gao Yang's factory was in the outer ring. Although it was not a very remote place, Gao Yang still felt that it was better to return home early.
Gao Yang rode her electric car back to her dorm and put away her car. She was about to put away her snacks and fruit when she carried them.
Looking at the fruits, Gao Yang felt that she was too lazy to wash her cancer.
Forget it, she was just lazily preparing to peel and eat. She excitedly found the skinning knife that she kept in a drawer!
Maybe it was because her luck was bad, she didn't know how to cut her hand, although the wound wasn't big, but the ten fingers were linked, causing Gao Yang to grimace in pain.
Just as Gao Yang was about to find a Band-Aid on her wound, she saw that the bracelet on her hand was absorbing her blood.
Could it be that she got lucky today? Was this really the space for her in the novels?
After waiting for the stone on the bracelet to stop drinking blood, Gao Yang picked up the bracelet to realise that the green stone on the bracelet had actually turned transparent.
She thought that the novels only said that I had to enter before I could enter the space. Gao Yang also wanted to try.
And she thought, "I want to go in." Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Gao Yang actually came to a strange place.
When Gao Yang entered the space, the first thing she saw was five brick houses that were similar to her courtyard.
It looked no different from her own house, and then she saw the dark ground beneath her feet.
Gao Yang knew that this land was pretty fertile, and that she wasn't the type of person who was immune to Yang Spring Water.
Her parents were both in the countryside, and she often helped them work in the fields when they were busy.
When Gao Yang looked at the area of the black soil, she felt that it had to be at least 40-50 mu. Gao Yang felt that she had become rich first.
Despite her worry, she decided to go inside.
He looked at the house that was no different from her own. The first place he entered was the living room, and next to that was the bedroom and the kitchen.
Gao Yang was afraid that she would see someone else inside, so she walked over to the door and knocked: "Is there anyone inside?"
She waited for a long time, but seeing that no one said a word, Gao Yang braced herself and entered the house.
When Gao Yang entered the house, she discovered that the interior of the house was different from her own.
Although it was the living room, there was only a table and a chair in the living room. From the looks of it, it was the kind of study desk that was shown on TV.
Other than the desk in the living room, the only other thing in the room was a bookshelf filled with books.
Seeing the appearance of the living room, she felt that this was the study room. Therefore, Gao Yang walked to the desk and discovered that on top of the desk, there was another letter.
On top of the envelope was written "The fated one has opened it himself". Only now did she put her heart into her stomach!
Gao Yang opened the letter and discovered that all of the words on the letter were written in traditional characters, and even more, they were written vertically and not horizontally.
When she read the letter, she realized that the original owner of the space was a lady from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, she had bought this bracelet when she first went shopping, so she had worn it on her hands out of a special heart.
Due to being framed and having their families destroyed, the original owner had actually sacrificed his looks and sacrificed himself to his enemies in order to get revenge.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty was still open, but the original owner had never gone out much. At that time, her enemies didn't know what she looked like, so on the day her family members were killed, her maidservants took her place, allowing her to escape.
After the original owner escaped, she had suffered a lot due to her appearance, and due to unexpected circumstances, she opened up the space.
When she knew who her enemy was, she decided to sacrifice her beauty.
The original owner was also a girl from a noble family, so her scheming was not a problem. Through her efforts, she finally managed to kill her enemy, and even brought a portion of his property into space.
Only after she escaped did she feel at a loss. She had avenged her great vengeance, but she was no longer innocent. The original owner had found a very remote mountain village and lived a life of an early and late return.
Since she was known as the widow of her husband, she did not have the heart to remarry.
With money in her hands, the people in the small mountain village were also very simple and honest. She slowly began to observe the space by herself.
Knowing that space could grow things all year round, the original owner was very excited, but after all, the original owner didn't know how to farm. After all, the original owner didn't know how to grow things all year round, and only opened up a plot of land at the back of the house, where he grew some common herbs, vegetables, and fruit trees.
