Just as Wudan and Liudan were about to pout and cry, they heard their eldest sister coughing. They immediately held back their tears, their eyes red, and gave Qianxiao a fawning smile.
"Big sister, we'll be good."
Qian Xiao nodded seriously: "Good boy, all of you be good. I'll make you some meat to eat in a while."
Qian Jiefang found it amusing. Just as his wife had told him, the younger children really did listen to their daughter. His daughter was just like he had been with his two younger brothers back then, acting like the eldest son.
The old lady was worried: "No need, let San Dan and Si Dan sleep with me. What if they kick you while they're sleeping? You go to sleep."
Her eldest granddaughter's wound was still red and swollen. What if the two boys were restless in their sleep and kicked her on the head? This incident really scared her.
"You really don't need me? I can keep an eye on them both."
"No need, just keep an eye on the milk."
As long as her two younger brothers don't cause trouble for their parents, she doesn't really care who they sleep with. Her two brothers rarely get up at night, but their sleeping postures are a bit off.
Qian Xiao had just finished washing up and lay down when she heard the voice in her head.
Oh right, she also has a little system. She had almost forgotten about it after not speaking for so many days.
She glanced at the direction of the door; there was still light in the yard, so her family probably hadn't gone to sleep yet. However, her family rarely came to her room, so she closed her eyes with peace of mind.
Even if her family comes over, they'll assume she's asleep and won't suspect anything else.
Qian Xiao closed her eyes and felt as if she saw something strange. She opened her eyes and closed them again, repeating this several times before she was sure she wasn't seeing things.
"My god, this is a space? You actually created a space for me? Can I even fit my whole body into this space?"
"No, what you've entered is a spiritual entity."
"I always said I wasn't that lucky, but having something is better than having nothing." She wasn't greedy; after all, she had lived for seven years without anything.
She turned her eyes to look at the space that would soon be hers. It wasn't big, only about the size of a basketball court, and it was completely empty. However, there was grass on the ground. She squatted down and touched it; it was real.
"Is this grass real? Can I pull it up and plant crops instead?"
She hadn't forgotten that in another four or five years, it would be the time of the Three Years of Famine, when the most scarce resources would be food and water. It was too early to start preparing now.
"Why don't you give it a try? I'm not familiar with this space, but we can use it."
Qian Xiao was probably too excited about getting the space to notice the flaws in the small system's words.
"Okay, I'll find some time to bring my farming tools and try it out. It would be great if we could grow crops there." Although the place isn't big, it's a five-year period, and we can accumulate quite a bit of grain.
Apart from the open space in the middle, the space was surrounded by a thick fog. She went over to look out of curiosity. She remembered reading in books that such boundless spaces could be upgraded. She wondered if this was the case.
"By the way, little system, we don't need to spend money to maintain this space, right? Like, to devour money or treasures?"
"No need, but we can only use this space, we can't transfer it or see the physical form of it."
Qian Xiao nodded to indicate that she understood. After all, she didn't own any brand names, bracelets, pendants, or anything like that, and she hadn't gone through the process of blood transfusion to bind her things to a master. However, she wasn't picky; having a place to hide her things was already quite good.
The space wasn't very big to begin with, and she reached the boundary line after walking for a short while. She reached out and touched it, and it felt like she had touched something very elastic. Although it was very elastic, she couldn't break the membrane no matter how hard she tried.
Is this what they call a barrier? She really wants to see what the outside world is like!
She pressed her face against the membrane at the edge of the barrier, trying desperately to see what was outside through the fog. What a pity! If only a gust of wind could blow the fog away, she couldn't see anything at all!
Well, she'll try her best to upgrade this space. If it upgrades, she'll be able to see what's outside. It would be even better if there were mountains and rivers outside, so she wouldn't have to worry about water when farming here.
"Oh, right, host, here's this for you."
Qian Xiao looked at the new transparent glass bottle in her hand. The liquid inside was light blue and looked very pretty. "What is this?"
"Consider this your newbie gift pack. This is a drug to stimulate your superpowers. It's not 100% effective, but the success rate is about 70%. You can give it a try. Even if it doesn't stimulate your superpowers, it will still improve your physique."
"What side effects might this have?" This thing is so magical, surely it could have side effects, right?
"There are no side effects, it just hurts a bit, but you can bear it." The little system felt that for someone with superpowers, that kind of pain was really nothing.
"Won't this kill me?" She hasn't lived enough yet. In her previous life, she only lived to be twenty-four, and in this life, she's only seven, totaling thirty-one years. Who would be willing to die now?
"No, I won't exist if you die, so don't worry, I won't harm you." At least I won't ruin my last chance to survive.
"Okay, I believe you. We'll drink when I get out."
Qian Xiao's spirit left the space, while Sun Kaicheng, having finished his battle, found a secluded spot and entered his own space.
While fighting the zombies, he sensed something amiss in his space. After finally ending the battle and returning, he found nothing changed. He frowned and looked around, feeling that something was wrong.
He had a good grasp of his space; you could say he was the master of it. Every plant and tree in it was within his perception range. But after looking for a long time, there was no change. Could it be that he was mistaken?
He shook his head; he was truly exhausted today, and might be hallucinating. Thinking that it wasn't very safe outside, he immediately left the space. After all, he could leave for a short while, but if he stayed too long, people would become suspicious.
Qian Xiao looked at the liquid in her hand in the moonlight, hesitating between drinking it and not drinking it.
Even if drinking it doesn't trigger any special abilities, it will still improve her health. The little system is now connected to her, so it shouldn't joke around with her life.
But in this era, having superpowers isn't necessarily a good thing. If she were to be discovered by someone, her fate would be predictable.
But she was unwilling to not drink it. What modern girl hasn't had this kind of dream? She already has such a magical thing as a spatial ability, so having one more superpower wouldn't be a big deal, right?
