She thought she would never see this scene again in her life.
Stepping gently onto the other side of the door, everything before me seemed so familiar.
This is her home... her modern home.
Her shoes were casually placed by the door, and the house key was on the cabinet.
When she went inside, it was daytime, and everything in the living room and bedroom was exactly the same as before. There was even a magazine that she had casually tossed on the table the night before.
Many of the snacks she bought were also placed on the shelf, and the tap could still run water when turned on.
Song Ning could hear car horns outside the window. Excitedly, she ran over and saw the road outside the window with cars coming and going.
She even wondered if jumping out of the window would allow her to return to the modern world.
Thinking this, Song Ning did just that. But as soon as she opened the window, the view outside changed. The road disappeared, the cars disappeared, and what she saw was the green grass in her space.
Close the window, and the outside world returns to its original state.
Song Ning was deflated; it seemed that this space had brought her house with it.
Would you consider this an unexpected surprise?
They stopped exploring the outside world and turned their gaze elsewhere.
Once inside the bathroom, the shower water was still hot. If she weren't worried about someone calling her from outside, she would have loved to just crawl in and take a shower right then and there.
Her clothes weren't clean either; she hadn't showered for several days. Just a few steps she took in, there were several shoe prints on the floor.
He picked up a bunch of grapes from the table and started eating them while wandering around the house, looking for anything he could use.
When Song Ning saw the bed at home, she was ecstatic; she hadn't slept in such a soft bed in a long time.
Once they've settled down, she'll definitely move all her bedding and blankets out.
Opening the refrigerator, one finds a plethora of chilled drinks and food she had stocked up on; the refrigerator is crammed full.
She tried it, and the refrigerator was still running. In this house, the only things that wouldn't turn on were the TV and the phone.
Song Ning didn't dare linger. She grabbed a bottle of juice and left, returning to the carriage from her spatial dimension.
He took a bowl out of the car, lifted the curtain, and quietly called to Liu Yuelan.
Thinking something had happened, Liu Yuelan quickly got into the car, and Song Ning handed her the bowl of juice: "Mother, try this."
Looking at the yellowish liquid in the bowl, Liu Yuelan hesitated for a long time before taking a sip, then exclaimed in surprise, "What is this? It tastes so good! It's sweet and refreshingly cool."
"As long as it tastes good, I have some more. I'll save some for Dad later."
Just then, a sound came from outside. Song Ning glanced over and asked, "What are the village chief and the others going to do?"
"I heard we need to find water. We can't just sit here waiting. The water we brought won't last long."
When these families left town, they filled all their buckets and jars—anything that could hold water—to the brim.
But that wouldn't last long enough for food and supplies on the road. They had some on board, but it was estimated to be enough for only two or three days.
They now consist of five households, but fortunately there are more men than women. The village chief gives up one man from each household, and the rest are kept to protect the women and children.
Song Dahai and Li Daniu also went along. Li Xingwang had nothing to do, so he performed a monkey climbing a tree for Song Ning, who was standing under the tree.
I must say, his skills are truly impressive; most people couldn't climb a tree like that.
Suddenly, Li Xingwang, who was in the tree, let out a "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Song Ning asked, looking up.
There seem to be people down the mountain.
Song Ning tensed up and hurriedly asked, "Can you see who it is?"
Li Xingwang shook his head: "It's too far away to see clearly. I can only see a group of people at the foot of the mountain."
Song Ning hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother Xingwang, wait for me."
After saying that, he ran onto the train carriage, entered the space, and ran into the house to start rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
She used to enjoy hiking and had bought a lot of hiking gear; she remembered having a pair of binoculars.
Finally found the item, quickly went outside and jumped off the train.
"Brother Xingwang, can you take me up there?"
Li Xingwang stepped down from the high place, then stretched out a hand: "You brace yourself against that indentation, grab that branch, and I'll pull you up."
Song Ning is too short now, but fortunately she is light. Li Xingwang pulled her up the tree.
Then, he lifted it higher, allowing Song Ning to stand on the branch above.
Song Ning took out her binoculars and looked into the distance.
Although it's unclear who they are, they're probably not soldiers.
They were most likely refugees, as many of them were pushing carts and were probably just resting at the foot of the mountain.
Song Ning breathed a sigh of relief; at least they weren't pursuers.
"Don't worry, they should be the same as us."
Li Xingwang's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "Er Ya, what are you holding in your hand? Can I see?"
Song Ning handed him the item: "This thing can see very far. Give it a try."
Li Xingwang took the binoculars and looked into the distance using the method Song Ning had just described, and immediately cried out in surprise.
"Er Ya, where did you come from? You can see very clearly."
Song Ning whispered, "I bought this when I went to the county town. I heard it came from outside and cost me a lot of money. You have to keep it a secret from me. If my parents find out, I'll get scolded."
Upon hearing Song Ning mention that it had cost a considerable amount of money, Li Xingwang's hand holding the binoculars trembled slightly. He touched them repeatedly before carefully returning them to her.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Li Xingwang jumped down from the tree first, and then carried Song Ning down from the tree.
Aunt Zhao, who was not far away, had already noticed the commotion between the two. She smiled with her lips pursed, her eyes narrowing into slits.
She would be so grateful if her son and Er Ya could get together.
Zhou Ling'an, who was not far away, also shifted his gaze toward Song Ning, but said nothing and remained silent.
Yu, who was beside him, had a cold face and didn't even glance in their direction.
The people who had been looking for water didn't return until it was getting late.
I wandered around all afternoon, but the result was not satisfactory.
There's nothing on this mountain; not to mention water, you can hardly find any birds, beasts, fish, or insects.
It really exhausted the group.
Song Ning called Song Dahai over and quietly handed him a bowl of chilled juice.
After finishing the bowl, Song Dahai finally felt relieved.
The group was in a bad mood because they couldn't find water, so Song Ning went to see the village chief.
"Village chief, a group of people came down the mountain today, and they look like they're also fleeing from disaster."
Judging from that direction, they should have come from Shanhe Town as well.
Of their entire Nanshan Village, only a few families have escaped so far. The fate of the rest is still unknown. Upon hearing that they might have come from the same direction, the village chief couldn't hide his excitement.
They might be those who got separated from Nanshan Village.
Thinking of this possibility, the village chief decided to go down the mountain to take a look.
It's getting late, and it's a long and difficult walk down the mountain. Some people suggested we go again tomorrow, but the village chief was worried we wouldn't have enough time, so he took a few people and went down the mountain.
