Lu Xiangze ran through a reed bed.

The people behind them were in hot pursuit.

The sound of dogs barking could be heard from behind from time to time.

The dog was about to bite Lu Xiangze...

Su Qiao suddenly opened her eyes.

She hadn't had a dream like this in a long time.

She didn't see what happened next.

She couldn't sit still any longer.

Just as I was about to go inside to take a look, I heard voices coming from outside the wall.

Is this the one?

"No, are you stupid? You can't touch this family. Be careful they don't 'hunt you down' later. You can't touch anything in their house."

Su Qiao held her breath and listened carefully. The group finally stopped next door.

They seemed to have just confirmed the location and then left quickly.

They came and went in a hurry.

Su Qiao then entered the space.

Xiao Bai was pacing anxiously in the space.

"Master, I feel like I can't get through this suddenly."

Xiao Bai is a spirit of the artifact.

But now I suddenly can't get through it.

Su Qiao even noticed that the wall separating the two of them had become thicker, and the other side was blurry and unclear.

This is not a good thing.

Su Qiao walked to the corner and observed carefully. It seemed that a gentle breeze was blowing into Lu Xiangze's space.

"Little White, come and see what these are!"

Xiao Bai was overjoyed upon seeing this.

This is the spiritual energy of the space resisting, no wonder it didn't feel uncomfortable.

It turns out it was supported by spiritual energy.

If there is enough spiritual energy, the connection with the other side will not be lost.

Upon hearing this, Su Qiao immediately got to work.

After quickly collecting a batch of vegetables with her consciousness, she found that her spiritual energy value had not increased at all.

Xiao Bai quickly reminded him.

Even at this level of advancement, only fruits and vegetables grown by Su Qiao herself will generate spiritual energy.

Without hesitation, Su Qiao picked up her farm tools and started working.

During this time, Su Qiao discovered that when she harvested medicinal herbs, she could also see the year and quality listed on them.

This has never happened before.

Now is not the time to dwell on this; her hands moved faster and faster.

Perhaps because she had something on her mind, Su Qiao couldn't sleep at all today.

As dawn broke, she managed to maintain the connection between the two of them in the same state as when Lu Xiangze had just left.

But Xiaobai still couldn't get past it.

He muttered to himself, "What is this person hiding that they won't let me see?"

Su Qiao rubbed her aching back and waist, almost unable to straighten up.

Xiao Bai muttered a complaint to himself.

"Even the best body can't withstand this kind of torment."

Su Qiao rubbed its little head and took a deep breath.

"I will be careful."

It started raining this morning, a light, drizzling rain.

It looks like this rain is going to last a long time.

Su Qiao felt regretful, thinking that the traces outside the door should have disappeared as well.

Since it's raining today, the team naturally gave everyone the day off.

Everyone is staying at home, doing things they wouldn't normally have time to do.

For example, weaving bamboo baskets and bamboo sieves.

Few people pay attention to others.

Except for Aunt Zhang at the village entrance.

Her house occupies the best spot in the whole village for enjoying the gossip.

Walk down two steps and you'll reach the watermelon-eating spot under the banyan tree.

She now has plenty of time every day.

Even when washing dishes, they would carry the basin to the tree to wash them.

She hates rainy days the most.

Because I can't see my gossipy girlfriends.

Today, as usual, she took out the wooden basin for washing dishes and stared blankly at the banyan tree.

But just then, they saw Su Qiao hurrying out.

She didn't even have time to shout.

Why is Su Zhiqing in such a hurry? Could she be going to meet a man?

Aunt Zhang was excited.

She immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks, opened her umbrella, and went to share with her girlfriends.

There's no way we can wait until tomorrow.

Su Qiao was unaware that a piece of gossip was about to spread throughout the brigade.

Su Qiao focused on getting on her way.

After it rains, the ground is especially slippery when it comes to shoes.

Fortunately, rubber shoes can handle it.

Perhaps she was too anxious, because she arrived half an hour earlier than usual.

When she arrived in the county town, she inquired everywhere and finally found out the location of Lu Xiangze's factory.

She asked the gatekeeper.

At first, when Su Qiao tried to get closer to take a look, the old man scolded her sternly.

This is not a place for you. Get out of here!

Su Qiao was naturally unwilling to leave.

She walked over with a smile.

He pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over.

The old man chuckled; it was the first time he'd ever seen a young girl with cigarettes on her clothes.

This girl is savvy, he likes her!

They give him a whole pack at a time, enough for him for half a month.

He immediately put on his most amiable expression, treating her no differently than his own granddaughter.

Su Qiao didn't mince words and asked directly, "Grandpa, do you know Lu Xiangze?"

"Why are you asking about him? Let me tell you, this kid is incredibly arrogant and looks down on everyone. I advise you to find someone else."

Since Lu Xiangze came to the factory, he has had many people trying to curry favor with him every day.

Even the factory's most beautiful girl has a crush on him.

The old man completely mistook Su Qiao for a lovesick woman who was looking for Lu Xiangze.

Out of consideration for the cigarette, the old man offered a few more words of advice.

“That boy is heartless, girl, you’re going to suffer.”

Su Qiao was speechless.

"Sir, he is my fiancé."

The old man began to think back, wondering if he had said anything wrong.

He immediately tried to smooth things over: "It's like this, Comrade Lu, he's utterly loyal and deeply devoted to you..."

The old man has started misusing idioms.

Su Qiao told him to stop immediately.

Well said, you don't need to say it again next time.

"Sir, you're so well-informed. Do you know where he went on his business trip?"

The old man shook his head and lowered his voice, "These things are not something you should ask about anymore. No one will tell you."

Su Qiao understood.

And even if you find them and tell them you had a dream, and then ask them to come and help you?

How could they possibly go?

Su Qiao was walking on the road.

Suddenly I heard a very familiar voice.

It sounds a lot like the one I heard last night.

But when she turned around, she couldn't find her again.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.

The reed marshes there seemed familiar, as if I had seen them somewhere before.

But she had never been to any far places since she was a child, so where had she seen this reed marsh before?

There isn't one in the Qingshui Brigade.

Su Qiao thought about it carefully, but still had no clue.

Some things, the more you think about them, the less you understand them.

She tried to clear her mind.

Raindrops pattered against the umbrella.

It makes a thumping sound.

The system's excitation level suddenly became very high.

Could it be that this guy is up to something again?

The system has now given up entirely.

It was overjoyed to notice Su Qiao's gaze.

Do you want to know what makes me happy?

"In no mood."

The system continued speaking to itself.

I know you're saying one thing and meaning another. I'm giving you one last chance. Bind yourself to me, and I'll help you save that person.

"Do you think I'm stupid? If I let you bind me, my life will be in your hands. Aren't Dong Yiyi and the others living examples?"

The system does not understand.

It's often said that the characters in books are all deeply in love.

Given the chance, they might even commit suicide together.

Besides, it's just a book; bringing her back to life would be a piece of cake.

Why be so cautious?

But it didn't know that Su Qiao had traveled to the future and was now back in the book.

Nature cherishes it all the more, but not every time can one escape danger unscathed.

For her, this world is the real world.

Su Qiao remained silent.

The system wants to give it one last shot.

"Don't you know where he is? Let me go, and I'll tell you."
