"He Nian, where are you going? You haven't finished harvesting the wheat yet!"
"Just say I'm not feeling well and leave early!"
Jiang Henian didn't even look back and ran straight towards the road on the bumpy dry fields.
Many people heard the noise, turned around and saw her, with a look of surprise on their faces.
That crisp, bright voice just now was actually the one shouting from that depressed girl from the Jiang family? What was she so anxious about?
Are you in a hurry to go to the toilet?
Jiang Henian stepped onto the outermost ridge of the field, and someone just happened to come out of the cornfield on the side carrying a basket of corn.
The two almost collided.
When Jiang Yanqiu saw Jiang Henian, she thought of what happened last night and her face turned unhappy. "You don't have eyes!"
Unexpectedly, when Jiang Henian saw her out of the corner of his eye, he ran away without even stopping.
Jiang Yanqiu's face turned pale as he was ignored.
This woman has been getting more and more arrogant lately, talking nonsense like a devil, and she doesn't take me and my mother seriously at all. If I say it a couple more times, Dad will agree to the substitution marriage. Let's see how long you can keep showing off!
No, she is in such a hurry, what is she doing?
Jiang Yanqiu rolled her eyes, threw down the corn basket and followed him.
Jiang Henian showed the determination and momentum of an 800-meter long-distance run in his physical test, and ran to the foot of the mountain at the end of the village in one breath.
Without even taking a breath, he pushed open the tattered wooden door and walked in quickly.
Not far away, Jiang Yanqiu was hiding behind a tree with his eyes wide open.
You're such a good fellow, Jiang Henian! You're pretending to reject the good marriage I arranged for you, while secretly coming to see He Jinshan?!
Still pretending here with me!
Inside the thatched hut, Jiang Henian stared at He Jinshan, who was lying on the bed with a pale face and breathing more than he breathed in, his heart pounding.
What that big potato said was actually true...
Just now in the field, Jiang Henian suddenly felt dizzy and was pulled into a mysterious space.
It was brightly lit on all sides, as if she had entered a glass house. She was wondering when suddenly a huge sweet potato, half a person's height, with squinty eyes and a sausage-shaped mouth, fell from the sky.
It’s really sweet potato, the kind with red skin and yellow flesh!
Big Sweet Potato put his hands on his hips and boasted that he was from the Space-Time Administration. He had detected a bug in the world of the book and had come specially to fix it.
Jiang Henian originally thought that she could return to the modern era, but was told that she was indeed the lucky person who was randomly chosen to travel through the book, and He Jinshan was accidentally implicated by her and traveled through time.
This world lacked a life form capable of supporting He Jinshan, so Jiang Henian's life force was split in half, with each of them sharing one life. They couldn't be separated for long, or else their life force would be insufficient, leading to coma at best and death at worst.
The longer they are apart, the faster they snap.
Jiang Henian cracked.
"Don't bluff me. If what you said is true, then how could there really be a He Jinshan in this world? Everyone in the village knows him!"
Big Potato coughed lightly and explained seriously:
"The great space-time system has self-correction and logically self-consistent functions. It's not a problem to sneak a character in without anyone noticing, as long as it doesn't affect the main storyline of the protagonist."
Jiang Henian was furious: "Since you can create a character shell, why can't you also give him a life! Are you incapable of this? What a lousy system!"
The big potato who was poked pretended not to hear, tapped the big gold watch with diamonds on his "wrist", and gave a serious reminder:
"It's been nearly twelve hours since you separated. He's in the critical stage of forced fusion, and the impact will be several times more severe than yours. Half of his health isn't enough to support his severely injured body's recovery. He needs nourishment from a homologous life form, otherwise he'll suffer severe rejection and accelerate exhaustion and death."
It suddenly covered its mouth and brought its big potato head closer in a mean voice: "Then you will only have half your life left, and you will die very quickly."
"Then you'll be faster than me."
Jiang Henian sneered, pulled out a bone-chopping knife from the space, swung it over, and neatly cut off a sweet potato vine.
Big Sweet Potato howled in fear and backed away, "How dare you! How dare you attack me! I am the honorable Inspector of Space and Time!"
"Don't talk nonsense to me, say something useful."
Jiang Henian walked over aggressively, holding a knife, "I want a method to completely separate us."
Seeing the situation was not good, Big Sweet Potato quickly spoke up, "To maintain sufficient vitality, it's best for homologous life forms to stay together frequently so that energy can be recycled and regenerated, slowly nurturing two complete life forms."
"How long will it take?"
"ten years."
"Then you can die with us. I'll peel some sweet potatoes to eat first." Jiang Henian raised the knife again with a kind smile.
"Wait! There's another way!!"
Dafanshu broke out in a cold sweat. Wasn't she just a delicate little girl? How could this be different from the information?
"Take tonics! Very tonics! Use external energy to replenish internal energy. Although the effect is far less than that of mutual nourishment from the same source, it can still be used as a substitute and in an emergency."
Jiang Henian's expression lightened slightly, "Continue."
"The first three months are the most critical adaptation period. During this time, the maximum separation time between two homologous life forms is twelve hours. Once this limit is exceeded, health points will plummet. Without energy replenishment within half an hour, death is inevitable!
The death was, uh, something you wouldn't want to see.
After successfully passing the adaptation period, the time is extended to 24 hours. As your respective halves of the life form are nourished by energy and grow stronger, the separation limit will continue to increase until you each grow a complete life form, capable of self-circulating energy, and the bond is released, no longer affecting each other.
Two hours before the separation limit, various adverse reactions will appear, such as obvious fatigue, dizziness, or severe hunger, and energy replenishment will be needed as soon as possible.
