"Little sister, don't be sad. Teacher Zhen is gone. There's nothing we can do about it. It's a natural disaster or a man-made calamity that we can't avoid."
"My older sister is already saddened enough by what happened to Teacher Zhen. Your reaction only makes her more upset."
Anle blinked twice, thinking to herself that it was probably impossible for Teacher Zhen to be dead.
She believed that he had left.
It seems that the person was taken away by that Master Meng.
With bodyguards protecting him, how could someone of royal blood, a member of a prestigious nation, die so easily?
She was a little sad and a little disappointed. She had finally managed to get on the good side of someone, but then that person disappeared without a trace.
I originally wanted to rely on him, but it seems that it's better to rely on yourself than on others.
"Fourth Sister, do you think we really can't escape? Jincheng has sealed off its gates, is there really no other way out?"
An Ning nodded, her eyes dimming.
"Of course there's no way to escape. Where else can you go? Unless you grow wings and can fly over the mountain range that surrounds Jincheng."
Anle's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she murmured, repeating, "Flying over...mountains?"
"Sigh, now we just hope that our Jincheng won't be burned down and cremated."
"Fourth Sister, you can go out now. I have a headache and want to rest for a bit. Also, please close the window for me; there are so many mosquitoes." Anle said weakly, her hand on her forehead, trying to get rid of the person.
An Ning glanced at the window. On such a hot day, the windows were meant to let in fresh air, but there were definitely a lot of mosquitoes.
"Then you should rest well. I'll be in the pavilion outside. Just call if you need anything." After giving this instruction, Anning closed the window and went out with her eyes lowered.
Hearing the door close, Anle raised her head and glanced at the doorway. Seeing that no one was there, she slipped into the System Garden.
She's been unconscious for so long, I wonder how things are going in the fields.
Although she didn't know what was happening in the fields, she could sense that things were changing there, so she was eager to go in and take a look when no one was around.
On the system interface, Anle noticed a lightning bolt icon pop up.
The lightning bolt icon wasn't there before she was struck by lightning and fell into a coma; it only appeared after she woke up.
Anle tapped her finger lightly, and the lightning bolt icon interface opened, popping up a box—
Congratulations to the garden owner for unlocking the new Seven-Colored Farmland feature!
Anle paused slightly, raised her eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then stared intently at the new feature. There was actually a new feature?
This is a really big surprise.
That's amazing!
Unexpectedly, her system's idyllic setting had new features that she hadn't discovered before in the upgrade guide.
Her Seven-Colored Garden also leveled up after unlocking this new feature.
As soon as I opened Seven Colors Pastoral, a small firework popped up on the screen—
Congratulations to the Garden Owner on advancing to Level 2!
Then Anle saw an expansion notification flashing on the interface.
"So you can expand again?"
Originally, only fourteen plots of land could be planted in Anle's Seven-Colored Garden. Now, after being upgraded from Lv1 to Lv2, the number of plots can be expanded to twenty-one.
This thrilled Anle immensely.
She didn't even bother to explore the new features that had popped up in her system's garden; she planted some more things instead.
This time, Anle is planting hot air balloons.
This idea originated from a casual remark made by her fourth sister, Anning, who said something like, "Grow wings and fly over the mountains."
Her inspiration came from this one sentence; it was this one sentence that gave her the sudden idea.
Such an idea is not exactly far-fetched.
In the world she lived in, using hot air balloons to float and fly in the air was not unusual.
As long as she makes all the necessary preparations, she can still achieve her goal of flying using a hot air balloon.
Of course, she couldn't accurately determine the destination.
But it doesn't matter, as long as we escape Jincheng.
After planting the hot air balloon and a few other essential items, finishing planting all twenty-one plots for the day, I exited the interface and went back to ponder the lightning bolt icon.
This lightning bolt icon is undoubtedly integrated with the system's garden, but surprisingly, it not only connects to the system's garden but also to the outside world. It can directly communicate with the outside world and release energy.
As for the method of releasing energy, it was naturally done according to her will.
Anle opened the upgrade guide again and learned about the function of the lightning icon in detail.
To be honest, the upgrade guide in her rural space is somewhat useless. It doesn't teach her how to upgrade the rural system.
She was able to unlock this energy-releasing function and upgrade the countryside entirely by accident, resulting in a beautiful outcome.
But after that, she didn't know how to upgrade next.
We can only figure it out little by little.
She didn't dare linger in the pastoral space, fearing someone might break into her room and find her gone. She quickly finished planting, glanced at the guide, and then exited.
Listening to the noisy chatter of He Sanfeng, Liu Xiufen, An Xian, and An Tai outside the window, An Le rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
She didn't really want to deal with those two old folks, or her restless and troublesome aunt's family.
However, when it comes to a matter of life and death, we can't just sit idly by.
It's a few lives at stake, so we have no choice but to take them with us. We just hope they won't cause any trouble for her.
However, with the hot air balloons and gondolas planted and preparations made, I feel much more at ease. Now, all I can do is wait for the right opportunity and observe the wind direction.
Hot air balloons rely on the wind to move; they can only go in the direction the wind blows, so they have to wait for a windy day.
It's a pity that all the property and assets she built up here will have to be abandoned here.
Over the course of several days, Anle had secretly made all the preparations. She put all the electrical appliances in her home into her "All Things Pouch" storage space, just waiting for a windy day to disappear.
But plans can't keep up with changes.
Instead of a windy day, they were greeted by death's 'blessing'—
Qiao Qiuniang fell ill, having contracted the plague.
Not only Qiao Qiuniang, but nearly eight out of ten disaster victims in the entire Linghe Town were infected with the plague.
Even the doctors and apprentices in the clinic couldn't escape it.
Anle's face was ashen and pale. Why?
How did her mother get infected?
