Chapter 4 Don't Cry
She pried open one of them: scrolls of ancient paintings, porcelain glowing with a faint light... these were definitely not belonging to the Gu family; she pried open another box: neatly stacked gold bars, piles of silver dollars... they gleamed with a cold and attractive luster in the dim light.
Gu Qiuyue's heart sank. This dry well was definitely not just hiding the Gu family's property, it was a secret cave where they hid the stolen goods!
Chen Xiangsong, or the people behind him, have seized far more than just the Gu family!
No matter why Chen Xiangsong was able to get these things, Gu Qiuyue only thought at this time, if only she could take all these things away.
However, the most important thing now is to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible before anyone notices.
But just as she was about to leave, a mysterious scene appeared and a box disappeared in front of her!
Gone! Disappeared!
Gu Qiuyue looked at her hand, which was frozen in mid-air. It had been resting on a box, but now the box was gone?!
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and remembered the wooden box that appeared in her mind. Thinking about the wooden box, she was shocked. The original small wooden box turned into her 120-square-meter apartment in the city center in her previous life, and the box that had just disappeared was quietly placed in the living room.
Is this the benefit of her time travel, space? But why is it this house she rarely lives in? Because she hardly lives in it, and there is nothing inside except the exquisite decoration.
Gu Qiuyue was still thinking about getting into the apartment, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get in. Instead, she managed to get out a box that had already been put in. Her eyes lit up, and she tried a few more times, and found that she could actually get things out of the living room just by thinking about it in her mind, although she had to touch that thing to put the things outside back in.
Gu Qiuyue felt happy when she thought that she could also have such a useful storage space!
But we have to get out of here now.
But just as she climbed up the well and stuck her head out, a beam of strong light immediately shot into her eyes, causing her to instinctively close them. The next second, she was lifted up and thrown to the ground. A familiar voice rang out above her head, "Who is it?!"
Gu Qiuyue's heart skipped a beat. She didn't hear anyone coming in, but she replied angrily, "Woman!"
This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she was treated so rudely. Besides, she had already perfectly kept the evidence and she no longer had to worry about being exposed. Gu Qiuyue was furious. She rubbed her sore butt and stood up on her own.
"Speak nicely!" Xie Shiyu raised the flashlight and shone it on Gu Qiuyue's face.
Gu Qiuyue was so blinded by the bright light that she immediately closed her eyes and said angrily, "Stop shining the flashlight into people's eyes. What if they go blind?"
"Then just speak nicely!" Xie Shiyu moved the flashlight away, his voice almost icy.
Xie Shiyu looked at the woman opposite him. She was wearing a blue Lenin suit that had been washed so much that it looked a little pale. There was still a lot of mud and dust on it. There was also an unsightly piece of black dust on her delicate little face. There were a few dead leaves and some moss in her hair which was tied into two big braids.
Such a little girl looks a little pitiful and a little funny.
"Okay, tell me why you climbed out of the well so late at night." Xie Shiyu tried his best to keep a straight face.
Gu Qiuyue raised her eyebrows and said as a matter of course: "The bad guys were caught, so I came up!"
"Bad guy?" Xie Shiyu frowned, "The one who was in the yard just now? But he said he..." He paused here. The identity of the woman in front of him was unknown, so he couldn't say so much to her.
Gu Qiuyue didn't care whether he finished his words or not, and said with a pout: "Why is the security in the capital so bad now? I just watched a movie and people blocked me in this yard. It's really scary!" She patted her chest as she spoke.
Xie Shiyu caught the loophole in her words and his face darkened. "You are not from Beijing?"
Gu Qiuyue nodded and shook her head. "Yes, but now my household registration is not in the capital." Then she looked at her watch. "Why are you pestering me with endless questions? I haven't done anything wrong. If you want to ask, go ask that bad guy. It's too late now. I have to go back."
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Xie Shiyu to nod.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Xie Shiyu moved faster than his brain and grabbed Gu Qiuyue's arm behind her back. Suddenly, a "click" sound was heard in the silent air, which was the sound of a dislocated bone.
Gu Qiuyue groaned and kicked Xie Shiyu between his legs. Xie Shiyu hurriedly stepped back to avoid it and let go of Gu Qiuyue's dislocated arm. She staggered and sat down on the ground.
Before Xie Shiyu could react, Gu Qiuyue burst into tears. "You people in the capital are so amazing! Not only did you try to grope a girl who came home late in the middle of the night, you even broke her arm. Do you have any law?"
Xie Shiyu was irritated by Gu Qiuyue's crying, "Stop crying, if you didn't want to run away, I wouldn't..."
"What do you mean by running or not?! It's like I did something bad. I'm obviously going back."
Gu Qiuyue interrupted Xie Shiyu crying, "It's so late, it's not safe for a girl like me to spend the night outside. Besides, if the people at the guesthouse see that I haven't returned all night, I don't know how they will investigate!"
At first, she was pretending to cry, but as she kept pretending, she thought about her unfortunate time travel, and she couldn't help but feel really sad.
"That's enough, stop crying." Xie Shiyu's temples were twitching, and he was about to grab Gu Qiuyue's limp arm. Seeing this, Gu Qiuyue hurriedly stopped him: "What else do you want to do? Stop it!"
But Xie Shiyu didn't listen to her. He directly lifted Gu Qiuyue's arm and pressed it on her shoulder, saying lightly: "It's just a dislocation. I'll fix it for you and it won't hurt anymore."
Before Gu Qiuyue could resist, Xie Shiyu held Gu Qiuyue's arm and pulled it to connect it for her.
"Try it and see if it still hurts."
Gu Qiuyue moved her recovered arm suspiciously, and was about to say something when her head seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning, and she fell limply to the ground.
Xie Shiyu did not expect this scene to happen. He instinctively stepped forward to support Gu Qiuyue who was about to fall to the ground. He saw that her eyes were closed tightly and her face was pale. Was she suddenly suffering from some emergency? She couldn't have fainted from the pain of a dislocated shoulder, right? That would be too delicate!
But now is not the time to think about these things. Xie Shiyu directly put the person on his back and ran to the nearest hospital.
Meanwhile, Gu Qiuyue in the hospital is receiving the memories she just got.
Only then did she realize that she had not simply traveled through time, but had traveled through a book. She had traveled to a period novel that she had previously complained about to her bestie, and had become the love-brained cannon fodder of the person with the same name as herself.
In fact, "Gu Qiuyue" in the book had a good start. Not only did she have a loving pair of parents, but she also had a brother who loved her. However, things change. In those years, she was forced to go to the countryside because her parents had studied abroad and were reported and demoted.
Later, she became the "cash machine" for the male protagonist Chen Xiangsong and the female protagonist Bai Xiaolian.
What made the original author even more worried was that when Mr. Tang in the book, whose grandfather had saved his life, finally found her and tried to help her transfer back to the city, he was caught by his opponents who had been monitoring her for a long time. He was criticized in the newspaper for having "privileged thinking" and was eventually exiled to the frontier and died in a foreign land.
