Chapter 6: Space Present

After fainting, Xu Nian felt like he was back in that space, but it was a little different.

The big military tent was still there, and the corn and fruit trees she had planted were still there, but the large expanse of black earth that had been empty before was now shrouded in mist.

She tried to go in, but it was like there was a wall and she couldn't get through.

Xu Nian had no choice but to withdraw his foot and hurried to see if there were any supplies in the tent.

She checked one by one and fortunately everything was there.

Xu Nian didn't care about anything else anymore. He first took out a piece of bread to fill his stomach, then took out a chicken drumstick and took a bite.

"It smells so good. I didn't dare to eat as much as I wanted before because of my figure. Now I think about it and it makes me crazy. Isn't meat delicious? Ouch~ It smells so good."

After filling her stomach, Xu Nian began to think about her situation. She remembered that she must have fainted just now.

Although I don’t know how the space reappeared and became smaller, it’s better to have it than not.

At that time, Xu Nian's experimental area was not large, and she only planted a dozen fruit trees, including her favorite cherries and dates, as well as a sea buckthorn tree given by the store.

Xu Nian looked at the fruit trees full of flowers and felt no pity. If she had known that she would have such an adventure, she would have bought some apple trees or pear trees instead of these cherry trees that could not fill her stomach.

We walked around the fruit trees and arrived at the cornfield. Because it was just a trial planting at the beginning, the cornfield was only about two acres in size.

Xu Nian sighed and went to look at the stream again. Fortunately, the stream was still there, and the fish and shrimps in it were swimming around happily.

"I don't know how long you can live. If I can't go back to the modern world, you will just become my meal."

Xu Nian put his feet in the stream and swam back and forth. Not to mention, he felt much more comfortable all over.

Before Xu Nian could enjoy it, she felt an unknown force pushing her out.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at her family and villagers surrounding her. She was stunned at first and then shocked.

She seemed to have regained her original memory, because when she opened her eyes and saw the villagers surrounding her, the names of those people appeared in her mind naturally.

For some reason she didn't feel happy. Did this mean that she could never go back to the modern world? Did she really become Xu Nian?

Tian looked at her daughter crying and said distressedly, "Nian'er, tell me what's bothering you."

"Yes, girl, Doctor Liu said that you were angry and had an attack of anger. What happened to you?"

Zheng was also asking worriedly.

Xu Nian couldn't bear to see everyone worrying, so he quickly said that it was nothing.

Xu Nian was indeed fine. Now she felt that all the fatigue in her body had disappeared, except that she felt a little hungry.

It seemed that her consciousness had just entered the space, so the food she ate did not satisfy the hunger of this body.

"Mom, I feel a little hungry."

"Okay, okay, I'll get it for you right away."

Tian brought the food and said, "This is the porridge your grandmother cooked specially for you. Mother will feed you."

Xu Nian was in good health, so of course he felt embarrassed to ask Tian to feed him, and Tian did not insist.

Xu Nian sipped his porridge in small sips and asked his own questions.

"Mom, have we rested for a long time?"

"It's almost an hour. Your father and grandfather were called by the village chief to discuss something. I don't know how the discussion went yet."

Zheng and Xiao Wang were also very worried. They were not only concerned about their own family's safety but also about the situation in their natal family's home.

The situation was urgent at the time, so I just sent someone to deliver the message. I don't know whether they were fleeing to the north like them.

Xu Nian had just finished his porridge when he saw Wang coming over.

"How's the eldest girl?"

"Grandma, I'm fine. I just had the porridge you cooked. It was delicious."

"It's good to be able to eat. Now that the troops have stopped to rest, you should rest more.

The second and third sons' families, go and look after the children for a while, the journey ahead may be difficult."

Xu Nian stood up and moved, looking around.

They are now resting at the foot of the mountain. No one knows where the two groups of refugees went, but it can be seen that the current atmosphere is very different from that of the previous few days.

Most of the men in the village sat outside to rest, in order to be able to respond in time when danger came.

While Xu Nian was looking around, Old Man Xu and Xu Yaozu had also discussed things and were coming back.

Xu Yaozu was very happy to see that his daughter was fine, and Old Man Xu also said in a positive tone, "Very good, very good."

Old Man Xu gathered the whole family together and told them the village chief's decision.

"After discussing with the village chief, we decided to continue heading north, but this time we are going to the northern border."

"Northern Frontier? How far is that?" Wang felt even more bitter.

Old Man Xu did not answer. If he told his family that they would have to walk more than 3,000 kilometers, they would lose their energy before they even set out.

"The village chief said that Northern Xinjiang was the fief of the Zhenbei King, and that the Zhenbei King had guarded Northern Xinjiang for decades without any wars or disturbances, which was enough to show how powerful the Zhenbei Army was.

Moreover, we have no choice. The imperial court has no spare energy to take care of us refugees. We must find a place to shelter us all."

After hearing what Old Man Xu said, everyone in the Xu family fell silent. Everyone knew that Old Man Xu was right, but leaving one's hometown was not an easy thing to do.

Xu Yaozu broke the silence and continued, "Because of the drought, we can't continue on the road. Let's all go into the mountains together tomorrow."

"Why do we have to go into the mountains again? What should we do with our car?" Wang was trembling with fear at the waves of attacks.

"Cars are definitely not allowed into the mountains, but some wheelbarrows and donkeys can be put in."

"That car cost more than 600 coins at that time!" Seeing that her eldest son wanted to throw the car away, Wang said with some heartache.

Seeing that his wife was still worried about money, Old Man Xu was a little angry and asked, "Which is more important, money or life?"

At this moment, Xu Nian was feeling conflicted. She didn't know whether she should tell others that she had space.

Although the Xu family members were very kind to her, she had never dared to underestimate the evil of human nature since she was a child. Would such a heaven-defying divine object really not arouse people's greed?

If she didn't tell him, it would be impossible for her not to use the things in the space along the way. How would she explain it then?

Suddenly, Xu Nian came up with an idea. She had to give it a try no matter if it would work or not. At worst, if this world couldn't accommodate her, she would just eat and wait for death in this space.

The worst that can happen is that she will be left alone again. It’s not like she hasn’t lived her own life before, Xu Nian comforted herself gloomily.

At night, Tian, ​​who was sleeping next to Xu Nian, was awakened by a whisper. Nervously, Tian sat up and saw that it was her own daughter talking in her sleep.

It was so funny that I wanted to wake my daughter up and let her go back to sleep, but I couldn't wake her up no matter what I did.

Tian was so anxious that she had to call her mother-in-law Wang.

"Mom, Nian'er seems to be having a nightmare and won't wake up no matter how much I call him."

When Wang arrived at Xu Nian's place, she heard her eldest granddaughter mumbling something like "Empress".
