Flames circulated around his body, keeping out the cold.
Xia Chuhe walked numbly toward the snow house.
The door wasn't locked, and Xia Chuhe easily pulled open the door on the ground.
Through the doorway, she saw two familiar faces.
Xia Qingxue, Lu Xingyi.
The mother and father she had been searching for were waiting for her in the very first instance of her experience, holding a cup of hot tea.
Xia Qingxue smiled gently: "You've finally arrived."
The first instance, the first igloo, a seed sachet embroidered with a special mark, the only human girl who could be taken out, and scattered clues far outside the base.
What a unique design, what complex steps!
I put in a lot of effort.
This is enough to prove that the people in the snow house are the real Xia Qingxue and Lu Xingyi.
But Xia Chuhe felt no joy at finding his relatives.
Her relatives, together with Xinghuo, set a trap for her, and she foolishly jumped into it, also getting involved with a silly boy who was incredibly enthusiastic about her.
Xia Chuhe jumped into the snow house: "Why are you getting the key? Will she come back?"
Xia Qingxue looked at her with a smile and asked in return, "If there's no lock, do we still need to leave the key?"
Xia Chuhe's vision went black.
She couldn't take it anymore after one blow after another.
...
When Xia Chuhe woke up, he was lying on the bed in the snow house, covered with a thick quilt.
Would you like something to eat?
The meat porridge on the stove was bubbling away. Xia Qingxue chopped the dried vegetables into small pieces and put them into the porridge.
Lu Xingyi rummaged under the stove and pulled out three roasted sweet potatoes.
Xia Chuhe had no appetite and kept pressing Bao'er's question: "How can you be so sure that I would bring her out?"
"I'm your mother, the person who knows you best in the world. You developed such bad habits in that world, giving coins to beggars, yet you left a dying little girl unattended?" Xia Qingxue sneered.
Xia Chuhe closed his eyes, his heart filled with anger and humiliation at being schemed against, which he couldn't shake off.
Xia Chuhe didn't even bother to ask what the ice and snow dungeon was all about, or what time travel was all about.
None of that matters anymore.
Even if she were given a way back to the modern world, she couldn't go back.
She couldn't possibly abandon her current friends, businesses, and grudges and entanglements and just walk away.
Xia Chuhe only asked the question she had been searching for: "Did you give birth to me for the wasteland?"
“Yes, you’ve come a long way, you should know this very well.” Xia Qingxue admitted without hesitation, not feeling at all that her answer was cruel to Xia Chuhe.
Lu Xingyi added, "It's taken a lot of effort to raise you for over twenty years, and you're still often disobedient and can't do what we ask."
Xia Qingxue smiled and said, "Fortunately, everything went smoothly. You came to the wasteland, found us, and saw the truth about the upper echelons."
"What do you want me to do?" Xia Chuhe gritted his teeth, controlling his voice so that not a tremor would betray him.
She suddenly remembered the story of Nezha returning his flesh to his mother and his bones to his father.
I recall the story told by Li Qiusheng about a girl who, in order to find superpowers, underwent a cesarean section.
I recall the story of Wang Yan using a great deal of money to repay the debt of gratitude for being raised and to gain his freedom.
Xia Chuhe thought that whatever they wanted her to do, she would do her best to do it.
He cut off his flesh to return to his mother and removed his bones to return to his father.
Repay the debt of gratitude for being raised, and then draw a clear line forever.
Let's go far away and settle our scores.
"How much land do you have now? Give it all to me. It's all the property we built up in the modern world; it's just temporarily stored with you," Xia Qingxue demanded.
Lu Xingyi sighed, "Back then, I wanted to create a child with great purification abilities, but unfortunately, the abilities were still too mysterious. Even with Xinghuo's years of research, we still couldn't achieve our goal."
The implication is that Xia Chuhe was never the child they had hoped for.
From childhood to adulthood, Xia Chuhe had never met their expectations.
Xia Chuhe was momentarily dazed.
Is the person in front of her really her relative?
In her memory, the woman who held her and called her "baby" and the man who always fulfilled her requests seemed like completely different people.
It was as if she had a very beautiful dream, only to find upon waking that reality was the opposite of the dream.
Xia Chuhe stiffly reported the number to Xia Qingxue: "24 mu of land."
The amount of land has quadrupled compared to before.
Xia Qingxue brought the porridge to the small table and took three bowls: "There's so little. Your father and I have prepared thousands of acres of fertile land for our family."
"Let's run a few more dungeons and level up... Nine times should be enough." Lu Xingyi tapped his finger lightly, silently calculating.
Xia Chuhe felt extremely tired: "So what exactly is going on with my farm?"
Xia Qingxue explained, "Projection, your superpower. It's about projecting something from the modern world onto you and then taking it out. Even... the reason you can use other people's superpowers is the same, but the conditions are quite strict."
“Okay, I understand,” Xia Chuhe said.
Lu Xingyi enthusiastically planned: "The energy of the Ice and Snow World is almost exhausted. Once we get out, the two of us will take you through the dungeon. After we have enough projected land, let's take it to Xinghuo. Although this batch of clean land can't save the wasteland, at least it leaves a little hope."
Xia Chuhe was like a rag doll, resigned to being arranged and manipulated by the two.
If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off taking out the feed mill and other assets and putting them at the Cape Trading Market, which would have been my own business.
Lu Xingyi invited Xia Chuhe down for dinner again and casually asked, "You've been in the wasteland for over a year now, how much wealth have you accumulated?"
