Chapter 003: Crossing the Standard Spiritual Spring Space

Ever since Lin Yue woke up in this body, she felt that something seemed to be different.

However, since she woke up, things have been happening one after another, leaving her no time to take care of him. Now she finally has some time to check herself carefully.

She sat down on the kang, closed her eyes, and tried hard to recall what she saw when she first came here.

Suddenly, a world wrapped in thick fog appeared before my eyes.

Yes, this is the space she stayed in at the beginning.

Lin Yue could feel that this place was deeply bound to her soul and was now a part of her body.

And even though she didn't know the principle, when she felt the vague connection between herself and the space, she suddenly knew how to use this space.

She walked into the yard and stretched out her right hand towards the small woods outside the yard. Just as she was about to move, she hesitated and put it down.

She wasn't sure what would happen next. There were many people living nearby and it would be bad if someone saw her.

The space was now full of fog. Although she could see inside, she couldn't get in. This must be her golden finger. She really wanted to open the space and take a look, so she stood in the yard, struggling not to give up.

Finally, Lin Yue made up his mind to try it out in a deserted place outside the village.

The two little guys on the kang were sleeping soundly at this moment, and Lin Yue tucked in the quilt for them.

The newborn babies couldn't roll over yet, but she still found some things to surround them, then put on thick clothes, wrapped herself tightly from head to toe, and quietly walked out of the village.

It was already evening, and I stood at the door of my house and looked out into the distance. Outside the village were the shadowy green mountains, and in the sky there was a fiery red sunset glow hidden between the peaks of the Dacangshan Mountain. There were a dozen or so villages scattered at the foot of the mountain, all of which belonged to the Dacangshan Commune.

In the village, smoke rose from every household. Occasionally, one could hear the sounds of children being scolded and beaten, and occasionally there were the sparse cries of chickens and the barking of dogs, most of which were weak.

The weather was too cold and it was not the busy farming season, so people stayed at home and were reluctant to go out. Lin Yue did not meet anyone along the way, which also made her feel relieved.

She chose this time specifically to go out. If she went out too early, she was afraid of running into people. If she went out too late, everyone would have finished their meals and many people would go to the brigade headquarters to warm up in front of the stove, so there might be even more people on the road.

Although it is not dark yet, it is the time with the fewest people on the road.

Lin Yue left the village from the south. There was a muddy beach at the east end of the village, called Dongwozi. Rice was not grown here, and no food could be grown in the muddy beach, so it was a wasteland.

Lin Yue’s destination is there.

At this time, Dongwozi is full of dry weeds and bare low shrubs. There are also many small water holes hidden in the grass. If people walk on them, they will step on water and mud if they are not careful. However, due to the drought, the water in the small water holes is only a shallow layer, and now most of it has frozen.

Lin Yue arrived at the place and stretched out her hands to the front. She wanted to store things in the space, without touching the real objects, and even without destroying the material structure, she could separate and extract them. It was just that this action was a bit embarrassing, and I wondered if there was a way to improve it, at least not to do it so obviously.

She closed her eyes, experiencing this magical feeling, and carefully collected some of the soil, water, plants, and insects and animals that were hibernating into her own space, trying her best not to destroy the original topography of Dongkuozi.

After finishing, she didn't dare to stay any longer. Without even taking a look at the current state of the space, she hurried back home.

The two little guys were still sleeping soundly. She reached out to check their breathing, then reached into the quilt to check their body temperature to confirm that they were really asleep.

She was amused by her own neurotic behavior and laughed foolishly to herself for a while.

Aunt Su came back again, patted Lin Yue from behind, and said with a smile: "What are you doing here alone?"

Lin Yue was startled. Seeing that it was Aunt Su, he asked, "Aunt, didn't you just go back? Is there something you forgot to say?"

Aunt Su handed her a basket with a bowl of boiled eggs in brown sugar and a bowl of cornmeal porridge. She said, "I prepared it in a hurry today, so I didn't make any special postpartum food for you. Eat these first, and I'll kill a chicken for you tomorrow to make up for it."

Lin Yue quickly waved his hand to refuse: "Auntie, what are you doing? Don't spend so much money. I don't need it."

Aunt Su scolded, "You just gave birth. Why don't you take care of yourself now? What are you going to do? You don't have to worry about anything. This is what Principal Xu wanted. He paid for it. I'll just take care of you for a few days, and I'm happy to have a good relationship with Principal Xu!"

Having said that, the two families are not close. Aunt Su already has work to do in the brigade. Now in order to take care of herself, she needs to run to her place several times a day and even open a small stove for herself. It is really hard. Lin Yue remembers this kindness in his heart.

Aunt Su added, "Principal Xu really cares about you, his favorite student. Not only did he come to my house, he also went to find Secretary Liu to ask about your situation. He didn't return until it was almost dark. I think he would treat his daughter like this."

Lin Yue was touched and said with a smile: "He saved my life a few years ago. Later, he saw that I was quite smart. My parents didn't allow me to go to school, so he accepted me as his disciple. Teacher Xu's child was lost early in his life, so he treated me as his own daughter."

Aunt Su nodded and sighed, "No wonder."

Then he said, "By the way, when I came in just now, I saw Widow Liu looking around in front of your house. Does she want to talk to you about something?"

Lin Yue shook his head. The original owner was not close to anyone, and had no contact with this widow Liu.

Aunt Su reminded her: "Then don't worry about her. You should stay away from her and don't associate with people like that."

In the past few years, the country was in turmoil, and there were many widows in the village. No one would gossip about widows casually, but this widow surnamed Liu was different. She was not very self-disciplined in her early years and had affairs with many men. All the women in the village hated her. Aunt Su was afraid that she didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so she reminded her.

Lin Yue nodded quickly to indicate that he had remembered it.

After seeing off Aunt Su, she slipped into the space.

As soon as she came in, she was shocked by the scene inside. The space was originally filled with fog, but now the fog had dissipated in an area of ​​about two acres, revealing yellow land covered with withered weeds and shrubs.

The water she collected was not much, and it formed a small puddle. There was only a shallow layer of water in the puddle, which looked a little turbid, and there was vaguely something tumbling in it.

Lin Yue took a closer look and saw that there seemed to be a few loaches in it. They might have burrowed into the soil to spend the winter and she had just collected them in.

The most eye-catching place in the space is a pool, which is paved with some kind of jade and looks very moist. There is a thin layer of clear water at the bottom of the pool, and there is a spring flowing very slowly.

As soon as Lin Yue saw the clear spring, he knew it was created by mist.

When she was in spirit form, she could feel the vitality in the mist, and after seeing the spring water, the feeling became even stronger.

Standing by the pool, Lin Yue's broken body immediately felt an irrepressible desire. It can be seen that these spring waters are of great benefit to people.

She was reluctant to dirty the pool water, so she went out and got a bowl, carefully scooped up some spring water and fed it into her mouth. She tasted it carefully, and apart from being clearer and sweeter than the water she usually drank, it seemed to be no different from ordinary water.

However, Lin Yue soon discovered the difference. Not long after she finished drinking it, she felt refreshed, and all the fatigue of the day was instantly swept away.

Although the feeling of fatigue disappeared, she suddenly felt very sleepy and just wanted to have a good sleep.

There are no seasons in this space. If you don't change it, the temperature will always be over 20 degrees. Lin Yue was wearing too many clothes and it was too hot. She took off her heavy clothes uncontrollably, leaving only her underwear.

As she moved, she calculated that the time flow rate ratio between the space and the outside was 5:1, which means that one day outside was five days in the space. If she only slept for one hour, it would only be ten minutes outside.

She was so sleepy that she leaned against the jade wall and fell asleep. She slept until it was completely dark outside. She went out to check on the two kids and was relieved to see that they were still sleeping soundly and showed no signs of waking up.

It was at this time that she realized that her body was sticky, as if covered by a layer of dirty stuff, and it also gave off a bad smell. Moreover, although it was not as exaggerated as the hair removal and marrow cleansing in the immortal cultivation novels, she felt that her body was indeed much better, and she was no longer the one who would pant after a little movement.

She knew that this was the benefit of the spiritual spring water, and she was immediately very surprised. However, she was very dirty now. Fortunately, after heating the goat milk, Xu's father was afraid that the pot would crack, so he added a lot of water to the pot. She tried it and found that the water temperature was just right, so she poured the water into a wooden barrel, carried the hot water into the space, and planned to take a good bath.

In this rural area where people were short of food and clothing, the original owner was alone with a big belly and could hardly take a bath. You could imagine how dirty she was, but fortunately, she had no lice on her head or body.

At this time, she no longer thought about whether she could take a bath during the confinement period, because she had no chance to do so anyway.

While taking a shower, Lin Yue intuitively realized how thin this body was.

The body of a woman who has just given birth will be more or less plump, but the original body is different. Her ribs are clearly visible, but she is not skin and bones. Her body is a little swollen. If you press the skin with your hand, you can see a pit, and it takes a long time to bounce back.

Lin Yue knew that this was not because she had just given birth, but because she had edema, which was caused by long-term malnutrition.

She carefully recalled the three aunts she had met. They were all very thin, but none of them seemed to be so thin, and none of them looked bloated.

Lin Yue sighed, stopped thinking about it, and lowered his head to wash his body carefully.

After washing three times, I felt much fresher.

She left the room and checked on the two kids. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, she went back in. She had to get up often at night to take care of the kids, so in order to get enough sleep, she lay down beside the pool to rest.

Before falling asleep, she was thinking, she had complained before that maybe the birth rate in the future was too low, and the underworld couldn't arrange reincarnation, so the staff of the underworld found a corner and threw her here to let her fend for herself. She didn't expect that when she came here, her welfare treatment was so good. It was already amazing to have such a space, and there was even a spiritual spring!

Happiness came too suddenly. The terrible living environment, the original owner's excellent relatives, two hungry little kids, and the husband who only lived in other people's mouths, were nothing.

Outside the space, the two little guys were still sleeping soundly on the warm kang.

Outside the house, a figure wrapped even more tightly than Lin Yue was carefully hiding in the grove outside the fence.

This man was not afraid of the cold. He just kept staring at Lin Yue who was busy in the house. Because he couldn't see clearly, he leaned forward and tried hard to look inside.

This person has been following Lin Yue since she left the village. Although he didn't see what Lin Yue did, he always felt that she was hiding some secret that others didn't know.

After all, in this person's memory, Zhang Yuandong's wife should have died last night, and even her two newborn children did not survive this winter.

The person who should have been dead now appears in front of him in good health. How can one not be shocked?
