Who is it?

"His aunt is me, Xizi's mother."

"You're here! It's you, sister-in-law! What can I do for you?"

"Auntie, have you forgotten that this wasn't yesterday when we were sitting together eating?"

When you mentioned that your family's white goose laid eggs, didn't your sister-in-law say that her daughter-in-law was pregnant?

Didn't other people say that goose eggs are better for pregnant women?

"Didn't we agree? I came over today to get some goose eggs for my daughter-in-law. I didn't know this jaundice prevention thing was really effective!"

"Sister-in-law, if you hadn't brought it up, the child would have completely forgotten about it. I'm so sorry, sister-in-law!"

"It's alright. I know you're feeling sad because your aunt just passed away."

Originally, I shouldn't have come to disturb your rest today. But your family, including Xizi, is in a hurry to return to the city. I had no choice but to come.

"Look at what you're saying, sister-in-law. It's just getting goose eggs, what's the big deal? You wait here, I'll go get them for you."

"By the way, why don't you come in and sit down for a while?"

"No, I'll just wait here! I'm afraid that once I sit down, we'll start chatting and it won't end."

I'd better hurry and take it back. My son and the others are going back to the city this afternoon, and I need to go back and pack some groceries for them to take back with me. We sisters-in-law can chat anytime!

"Okay, I'll get them for you, but there aren't many. I have six or seven more at home, so I'll give you six."

"Sure, no problem."

"I'll take it to you right away."

He turned around and went inside to get it, returning shortly after.

"Here you go, sister-in-law, six of them."

"Okay, here's the money, six yuan each, that's thirty-six."

"Alright, no need for so much, thirty will do."

"How can that be?"

"Why can't I? I'm still my nephew's aunt. Go back now!"

"Alright! Here's thirty yuan, don't think it's too little!"

"Look at what you're saying, that's quite a lot."

"That's good, sister-in-law will be going now."

Let's go!

After watching her leave, he closed the door and turned to go back inside.

I suddenly felt pain in my finger and realized that I had injured it. I quickly found the first-aid kit, sat on the sofa, found some alcohol to disinfect it, and seeing that the wound was not big, I decided to put a band-aid on it.

But unexpectedly, the moment the wound was touched, it appeared in another place.

Wait, where am I? This isn't my home!

What kind of place is this? I'd better go home as soon as possible. This is too scary!

Whether I could go out or not, I never expected to be back home in an instant, and in the same place as before. I saw the familiar furnishings, and I felt relieved. I was finally back.

But what exactly happened just now? After looking at my finger, I tried touching the wound again, and it reappeared in the same spot as before.

After trying it several times, I finally realized that this was the space that novels often talk about!

Despite my age, I still enjoy reading novels and know what a "space" is—a good place to hide things.

Now that I have some free time, I plan to take a good look around my social media.

What came into view was a courtyard with five main rooms, a side room to the east, and a well in the courtyard.

Is anyone there? Is anyone there?

I called out several times but no one answered, so there must be no one there.

Now I feel much more at ease and can confidently walk over slowly to take a good look.

Pushing open the door to the main room, I saw a hall, about twenty square meters in size. I didn't know what kind of wood the furniture was made of, but it looked quite nice, with patterns on it.

Pushing open the door on the east side, there was a four-poster bed and a dressing table by the window. To the north was a screen, behind which against the wall were two large wooden wardrobes and four large wooden chests. This must be the bedroom.

After turning around and going out, I went to the west side and pushed open the door. It turned out to be a study with first-class bookshelves filled with thread-bound books.

I just saw from the outside that the main house only has one door, but the study is the same size as the main hall.

That means there should be one room on each side, east and west.

But I looked carefully in the bedroom just now and there was no door leading to the easternmost room, which means it's not in the bedroom.

But the outermost room on the west side wasn't visible in the courtyard earlier, which means the door should still be in the study. After wandering around inside a few times, I finally found it.

After walking around a few times, I saw a chaise lounge behind the bookshelf, and there was indeed a door between the chaise lounge and the bookshelf.

Upon opening the door, I saw a row of large wooden crates inside. When I opened them, I found them filled with gleaming gold bricks, neatly arranged. The sight of them made my eyes light up with gold, and I stood there stunned for a while before I came to my senses.

Then I slowly opened them all and looked through them. They were all pearls, agates, jade, or antique calligraphy and paintings.

But after seeing some of them, the key issue is that I don't understand the value of these things.

So I had no choice but to leave for now and go see if there was any development in other places.

I just visited the main room, bedroom, study, and storeroom; that's only four rooms. The main house has five rooms in a row.

They quickly went out to the east wing and went inside. Near the southeast corner were two large iron pots, which must be the kitchen.

However, it looks quite old; it used to be a wood-fired stove. Near the pot was a cupboard, and there was a door in the southwest corner.

In the northeast corner of the room, there was a large cabinet and a set of ordinary tables, chairs, and benches.

There's another door in the northwest corner. Let's go over there and open the north door to take a look!

Upon entering, I found it was a warehouse, but it was completely empty. The room was the same size as the other rooms, about twenty square meters.

Since there's nothing there, let's go check out the house to the south!

Then I went out and opened the door on the south side. I never expected there would be a separate room inside.

Against the east wall, there was a small room, about one meter wide and three meters long, containing a bathtub and a drainage system. This must be the bathroom!

The other room I saw contained some baskets and other items; this must have been the woodshed.

After looking around, I didn't see any clues or hints.

After looking through everything, I realized that I hadn't looked closely enough in the study, so I quickly went out.

I went to the study and carefully looked through everything, including several drawers under the desk, but it wasn't there.

Unable to find it, I was about to sit down when I saw a letter under the table.

He picked up the letter from the ground, sat down in the chair, and began to read it.

Wow, traditional Chinese characters! Although I've been learning simplified Chinese since I was little and can recognize a few traditional characters, there are still so many. It's really hard for me.

Writing so many words, isn't that just making things difficult for yourself?

What to do? Oh right, I can use my phone to check. Look at my own stupid brain.

He quickly took the letter outside, found his phone, sat down, and slowly began to look up each word. It took him most of the day to figure out what was on the letter.

Now we finally know the origin of this space:

This space is called the Courtyard Space. The courtyard is not big, only about one and a half acres. It was the first space created by a master craftsman. Because it was the first time, it was just for practice, so it was not built very large and could not be upgraded. It was only this big.

However, the well in the yard, while not a cure-all, can improve one's health.

It was then given to the clansmen through some channels, but for several generations no one had opened it. In the end, unexpectedly, a useless person without spiritual roots opened it.

This person is named Wang Hai. He was discovered by chance when he was about to die. Because he had no spiritual roots and could not cultivate, he could only come to live in the mortal world alone.

He worked hard in the mortal world to earn some wealth, but fearing that his descendants would squander it all, he put half of his wealth in the storeroom and also furnished the space with some high-quality wood, such as rosewood, sandalwood, and mahogany furniture, to leave to his descendants so that someone with the right destiny could possess it.

After about a dozen generations, this small courtyard fell into the hands of a woman named Chen Fangyu. She was a well-educated young lady from a prominent family. She had collected some rare books and paintings in her study, and she also decorated her boudoir. The wardrobe and wooden chests in her boudoir were filled with fine silks and the like.

Because he didn't know how to farm, the yard remained empty until he passed away, when he gave it to his descendants to be given to someone destined to live there.

But unexpectedly, as times changed, it ended up in their own hands.

But what's the condition of the wound on my finger? Oh right, let's go check if the jade is still there.

I went to the bedroom and walked to the desk. I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. I even looked under the bed, but still nothing. What does this mean? Could it have entered my body?

But that's not right. Before, it was just a broken piece of jade, not even a piece of jade. At most, it was just a pretty stone!

I remember buying this jade for less than 200 yuan! How could it be a spatial dimension? I fucking can't believe it!

How could it have merged with itself? This is too amazing!

Another point is that others can inherit and pass it on, so why does this happen to me?

Could it be that I've loved reading novels since college, and I've read hundreds, if not thousands, of novels over the years?

Furthermore, I also like novels with spatial elements. Is this like what's written in novels, where the appearance of a spatial element indicates either the apocalypse or time travel?

In other words, this is a hint, so you should hurry up and prepare.

If that's really the case, then I should buy some things and put them in my space, otherwise I might starve to death before I know it.

Although I have no children of my own, having lost both my parents, I now only have my younger brother as my only remaining relative.

Fortunately, he has family, so I don't need to worry about him for now. As for the rest, I'll deal with it later. It's better to prepare things first.
