Chapter 124 Even in Space, You Can Eat Meat



Standing in the space, Song Ning was completely bewildered. Had she really entered like this?

What did she just do?

It seems like he only muttered a couple of sentences?

Looking around, I felt like it had been a while since I'd been here; the space seemed a little different now.

The things inside are still there, and the door is still there, but something just feels off.

After walking around the space, I saw that her land still had fruit trees, baskets of vegetables, and bags of grain.

Suddenly noticing the eggs in the basket on the ground, Song Ning finally realized that something was wrong.

Her chickens and rabbits have disappeared.

She had put her two chickens into her spatial dimension before fleeing the famine, as well as the two rabbits she had found on the mountain, which had given birth to several litters of baby rabbits, but now they were all gone.

Song Ning searched the entire space, including the house, but couldn't find any trace of the rabbit or the chicken.

Her big rabbit is gone, and so is the hen that was laying eggs.

Does the space also eat meat?

After observing for a while, it seems that apart from the few that can walk and run away, the others are no different.

So, here's the question.

Being unable to get in is indeed a very serious and terrible problem, but what's even more terrible than being unable to get in is being unable to get out.

ah?

Song Ning was dumbfounded.

Get out! Why aren't you getting out? Get out of here!

Everyone else's online space is pretty stable, so why is it like this when it's her turn?

"No, you're sick!"

She tried again and again, but the scene in front of her was still the same as in the space.

The joy of entering the space has now completely turned into resentment.

If she still can't get out by tomorrow, she'll smash this damn space!

If she really can't get out of there for the rest of her life, then there will be another unsolved mystery in the world.

Shocking! A young woman mysteriously disappeared overnight!

Song Ning lay on the ground, her eyes vacant. Although there was food and drink here, she thought, "I can't stay here forever, can I?"

If she really dies here in the end, no one will collect her body, and no one will even notice when it starts to rot.

Wait, that's not right. Her things don't seem to spoil, and the corpse should be fine too, but that's still too pitiful.

Song Ning collapsed to the ground, stretched out her hand, felt as if she had touched something, and then the next second, she was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) with a "whoosh".

It was almost dawn outside. Chu Ning stared at the rooftop in astonishment. "You're back?"

Before Song Ning could recover from her daze, she heard Liu Yuelan's voice outside: "Er Ya, it's time to get up. We're going to Jiangning County today."

Oh right, they're going to buy garlic and green onions.

Song Ning didn't sleep all night, spending the whole night trying to find a way out, and then went out with dark circles under her eyes.

They had no means of transportation and could only walk to Jiangning County. Along the way, Song Ning was so tired that he could barely walk, so in the end, he simply had Song Dahai carry him on his back.

Song Ning slept soundly on Song Dahai's back and didn't even realize when they arrived in Jiangning County. When she woke up, she only saw drool dripping from Song Dahai's back.

Jiangning County and Tianxiang County are worlds apart. Although it's cold now, there are still many people on the streets, and food stalls are everywhere.

They arrived early and planned to wander around the streets first before meeting at the agreed-upon place.

From the distance we've traveled, it seems to be more prosperous than the county above Shanhe Town.

They went from the general store to the cloth shop, then to the pharmacy, and finally to the blacksmith shop.

When I passed by a shop, the crowd was so large that I almost collapsed. As soon as the shop opened, the crowd surged forward, all shouting that they wanted to buy something, and a few even started fighting.

Song Dahai pulled the mother and daughter back quickly, asking, "What are you selling? Why are there so many people?"

This scene seemed familiar to Song Ning.

If I'm not mistaken, they must be selling cotton.

It seems that cotton was not grown in the Jin Dynasty, and the cotton here was all traded from neighboring countries, which is why it was so precious.

As soon as the crowd dispersed, the shopkeeper put up a sign that the items were sold out.

Moreover, the cotton here is more expensive than any she's seen before.

She shook her head, turned and left. Never mind, she'd better go find some new seeds.

Nothing has been planted in her space for a long time; it's time to find some new species.

Finally, they found a vendor selling seeds at a market.

Winter is approaching, and seeds are cheap, so Song Ning bought some of all the seeds she had never seen before. The seed sellers couldn't even tell what kind of seeds they were.

I bought quite a lot this time; these seeds cost a total of half a tael of silver.

After buying the seeds, Song Ning went to the livestock market; she had money now.

She still has the money from selling cold noodles, so she's probably the richest person in the entire Tianxiang County now. Even the county magistrate might not have more money than her.

The livestock and vehicles here are much more expensive than in Shanhe Town, even after the prices have been reduced.

A horse-drawn carriage was out of the question; even their county magistrate didn't have one. So she decided to buy a mule cart.

Having learned from his previous experience, Song Ning quickly selected a mule and also bought a cart, the kind with a carriage.

This mule cart cost her almost twenty taels of silver.

But it felt great; sitting in the car made me feel like the money was well spent.

After we'd had our fill of sightseeing, everyone headed to the meeting point.

The subsidy money given last time has now been reduced to one tael per household. Fortunately, garlic is not expensive. They asked several places, and the cheapest price was six coins per jin.

Twenty taels of silver could buy almost four hundred catties of garlic.

Onions are cheaper than garlic, so I'll buy 300 jin of garlic and the rest of the onions. She has enough seeds for bok choy.

She noticed while walking around the street that most of the food sold here was noodles, with very few leafy vegetables, and no garlic sprouts or bok choy were being sold.

The garlic stalls didn't have enough garlic, so they had to go to several places to buy it all.

The whole truckload of garlic and scallions made passersby wonder what was going on, thinking that garlic couldn't be eaten as a meal.

You might say they're poor, but they have a mule cart that looks brand new. You might say they're rich, but they only buy garlic and not grain.

Even the garlic sellers advised them to buy less and come back after they finished eating.

Then, in the eyes of those around them, they became idiots.

Garlic is only good as a condiment; eating too much of it will give you heartburn.

Song Ning didn't say anything, and neither did the rest of them. They were trying to make money, and what if someone stole their techniques and told others?

The group walked back, the two counties were not far apart, but the weather changed halfway there. They were all wearing only light clothes, and a gust of wind made them feel cold.

Song Ning was shivering from the cold. Liu Yuelan felt sorry for her and took off her outer clothes to hug Song Ning and wrap her up in her arms.

Song Ning was so cold that her teeth were chattering. No wonder people were desperate to buy cotton; they really couldn't survive the winter without it.

Finally back in Tianxiang County, the first thing to do was to light a fire and heat the kang (a heated brick bed). Song Ning, wrapped in a quilt, sat on the kang and hadn't even recovered when Zheng Gaoyi arrived outside.
