Chapter 9: Not Going Back in Time



With the money in her pocket, Lin Ximan had a good idea of where to go next. The scrap yard was the only one in the town, so it was easy to find out.

She didn't come here hoping to find a bargain. What bargains could there be for her to find in such a tiny town? Besides, even if there were any, she wouldn't know where they were.

In her previous life, she worked 996 and had never come into contact with these things. Now, even if you put antiques in front of her, she might not recognize them.

She came here mainly to buy some newspapers and books. She wanted to learn about this place and this era. She had only seen this era in novels and on TV, but she still wanted to see it in detail.

At the door of the scrap station sat an old man guarding the door. He sat on a wooden rocking chair, holding a large teacup in one hand and beating rhythm on his leg with the other hand, humming the tune of a model opera.

"Uncle, I want to buy some old newspapers and books." Lin Ximan stood obediently beside the table and spoke softly to the uncle.

The old man didn't reply, but waved his hand to let her go in. On the east side of the yard, there was a pile of plastic waste and a pile of glass bottles, cans, etc. left in the open air.

There were some iron and aluminum products piled up on the west side. These products were not afraid of water, so they were placed outside. In front was a large warehouse, and the things she was looking for should be in there.

As she had expected, there was nothing good in the warehouse, let alone antique paintings and calligraphy, or gold hidden in tables and chairs made of precious wood. There were only a few tables and chairs in the warehouse, but there were quite a few old newspapers.

It seems that not only fairy tales but also novels are deceptive.

She found a large pile of newspapers in chronological order and also found a few elementary school textbooks. She didn't look at them carefully, but just put them all together and carried them out.

"Uncle, I'm done." Lin Ximan put the newspaper on the table in front of the uncle. The uncle stood up slowly, put the newspaper and book on the scale, and said with a pout: "3.4"

Lin Ximan gave him fifty cents, and left after the old man gave her the change. She put the things in her hands into the space when no one was around. She walked around the town again and found that there was really nothing worth seeing.

In this tense era, it is still easy to find deserted alleys. She has no plan to go back to the brigade, as that was not her home anyway. Until things are settled, she will still live in the villa in the space.

After entering, she first harvested the crops that needed to be harvested, planted what needed to be planted, and sold what needed to be sold. After everything was packed up, she returned to the villa and prepared to read the newspaper carefully. As a result, she couldn't stop reading.

After she finished reading all the newspapers she had just bought, she finally confirmed one thing, that is - this time the system did not go back in time, but this time it traveled to a parallel world.

She had always thought that this time and space was a return to the 1970s, but she didn't expect that this place was not the same world as her previous life!

This is a parallel world. From the newspaper, I learned that although this world is also in an era of passion, this was not started by four villains, because these four people do not exist in this world.

The current top leader is not that great man, but a chairman named Cui. She has never heard of any of the founding generals.

The revolutionary stories told in those limited elementary school textbooks were not what she had heard in her previous life.

The most important thing is that in this world, the country she lives in is called China (the author doesn't want to call it this name, but I'm afraid it will be out of place if I use another name, so I thought about it for a long time and changed it back to this name) instead of the name of the country she lived in in her previous life.

She didn't know whether history would be the same or not, and these things couldn't appear during this period. We'll have to wait and see.

The place where she is now is called Dalu Town, which belongs to Longcheng County, Pingyuan City, Jiangbei Province, which is equivalent to a border town in Heilongjiang Province in her previous life.

The current situation is unstable and this is a border area, so secret agents and espionage activities are rampant. You can see in every issue of the newspaper that people are urged to be vigilant and not give secret agents any opportunity to take advantage.

So you can see soldiers wearing red armbands everywhere on the street. If they think something is wrong with you, they will come up to you and question you. Only they know whether they are really suspicious and will take you back.

Her current outfit is very eye-catching. She doesn't want to, but she can't wear the original owner's clothes. Fortunately, she dresses herself younger, and everyone thinks she is a child from a well-off family and is out having fun, so no soldiers bother her.

This is all she knows now, and she doesn't know any more. If she wants to know more, she will have to go to the county or city to collect newspapers or go to the library.

Fortunately, she now looks like a half-grown child. Even if she walks on the street, she seems to attract no one else except human traffickers.

There is no bus to the city from here. One has to take a bus to the county first, and then take another bus from the county to the city. It takes a long time, three and a half hours, so she didn't plan to drive her electric scooter there. It's better to just take the bus from the bus station.

She had experienced the smell in the car before, and it was really hard to describe! Fortunately, she had a space, and she could immerse her consciousness in the space to work so that she could not smell it, and she could also earn more gold coins, which was a win-win situation.

The bus from the county to the city is much better, after all, they are all city dwellers and will not bring any messy things. Most farmers will not go to the city to buy things, and some farmers have never left the county in their entire lives.

When she was taking a bus in the town, she found an old lady. Lin Ximan had observed her for a long time and found that she was a person who loved to take advantage of others. This kind of person cares about money the most. She only needs to give her one dollar and ask her to take her on the bus. She only needs to say a word.

It’s the same from the county to the city. Life is hard now, so money is still very easy to use. One dollar can get you by.

Fortunately, she is young and can be taken out by adults without a letter of introduction, but she can't ask someone to take her in the car every time. This is too troublesome and there are also great hidden dangers.

But no matter what, she still arrived in Pingyuan City smoothly. Seeing that the time was now, she couldn't go anywhere. She could only find a deserted place, go into space and sleep, and think about it tomorrow.
