Chapter 256 The Early-Death Fisherwoman in the Hong Kong Variety Show World - Passerby A 5
The next morning, everyone was busy again, some going to work and some going to school. It was Friday, and the students at school were quite restless. At noon, Jiang Yue had lunch with her friends and took a short rest. School was over around 4 p.m. When she got home, she was a little hungry, just like her younger sister. The two of them went outside and found a street vendor, each buying a bowl of noodles.
Not long after returning home, Jiang Yue received a call from Bai Ze. The two hadn't seen each other for a while. This time, she used the excuse that her mother missed her to go there for a couple of days, exchange information, and improve their meals. Jiang Yue also took Xin Xin with her when she left. After the car that was supposed to pick her up arrived, she said goodbye to her mother and left.
Upon arriving at Bai Ze's place, they first had a big meal. Then, while Xin Xin was sleeping, Jiang Yue inquired about Bai Ze's recent situation. Bai Ze seemed to be doing nothing, except for occasionally traveling north to deliver some things. However, Jiang Yue made a new discovery: she had recently asked Bai Ze to investigate this matter.
The thing is that the world she came to doesn't seem to be a separate world. Jiang Yue saw the name Zhuang Shikai in the newspaper, as well as names like Da Dong, Da Ba Zai, Wu Ying Tou, Ba Zhong, Sheng Ji, and Fei Gu. Jiang Yue remembered that these people seemed to be characters from a movie, and Zhuang Shikai was the name of the protagonist in a book she had read before.
When Bai Ze first discovered the wanted criminal Da Dong, he thought it was the person from a historical event. However, a few days later, he saw Zhuang Shikai's name in the newspaper. Bai Ze checked and found something was wrong. He then checked again and found that it was similar to the description in a novel. Bai Ze pulled up some classic Hong Kong movies from the database and found that many people were in this world.
However, it's worth mentioning that the timeline is a bit messed up. Normally, Da Dong only came to Hong Kong in the 1980s, was arrested in 1984, and died in prison in 2009. But now it's only 1978, and he's already dead. However, Jiang Yue can understand that it's normal for the timeline of Hong Kong variety shows to be a bit messed up.
The good thing is that they don't have any supernatural powers. If they were to incorporate elements from ghost movies or zombie movies, that would be a disaster. Out of caution, Jiang Yue asked Bai Ze to check the names of her family members in the database. The good thing is that no one was found to match them, so their safety is guaranteed. The bad thing is that as a family that is just background characters, they might run into trouble one day.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue took out several talismans from her spatial storage. She had made many of these in the cultivation world, but they were mostly unused and she still had a lot left. The next day, Jiang Yue asked the old lady to hand the talismans to her, and she specifically mentioned that they had been blessed by a master. She immediately put them on Jiang Yue and Xin Xin, and gave the rest to Jiang Yue to take back to her family.
That evening, Xin Xin secretly approached Jiang Yue and asked if it was inappropriate for her to accept gifts from others. Jiang Yue comforted her sister, saying that she had already refused, but hadn't been able to. Xin Xin whispered to Jiang Yue that she should visit other people's homes less often in the future, as it wasn't good to always accept gifts from others.
Jiang Yue felt both gratified and helpless. She wanted to tell her sister that everything belonged to her, even the people in the story. However, Jiang Yue had experienced many worlds and was still somewhat rational. Otherwise, if she had said that to her sister, she would have asked a master to examine her when she got home.
They stayed with Bai Ze until Sunday. After lunch, Bai Ze sent someone to take the two sisters back home. After returning home, Jiang Yue distributed the amulets to her family. This time, Jiang Yue had to explain for a long time. Her family members did not know the situation and did not agree with Jiang Yue accepting other people's gifts. Finally, her grandmother spoke up and said, "The elders asked Yue'er to bring them back to us. How can a child say no? Can a child persuade several adults?"
"We'll keep their kindness in our hearts. Xiaojun and Xiaojuan should work hard there, and we'll send them gifts during holidays in the future."
Although they accepted the gifts this time, Jiang's parents still had a special talk with Jiang Yue, reminding her not to accept gifts from others in the future. Jiang Yue nodded in agreement. This was the last time. When she was a little older, she could make up her own reasons and wouldn't have to use Bai Ze's name anymore.
Time flies, and it was 1984 in the blink of an eye. That year, Jiang Yue successfully passed the entrance exam for the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong. That's right, after several years of consideration, Jiang Yue finally decided to study medicine. In fact, it doesn't matter what you do, she just chose the one that suited her best.
Over the past six years, Jiang Yue's family has also prospered. With Bai Ze's help, her older brother and sister have both become managers. Bai Ze has been giving them generous year-end bonuses in recent years. They have also bought a house near the company. Her sister and her boyfriend have gotten married, and her nephew is already three years old.
Jiang Yue felt it was a bit of a pity that her brother got married a year later than his sister-in-law. The first one didn't last. She was quite optimistic about the two of them back then. A few years ago, after the family had some money, they took the opportunity to buy a shop with a loan. Jiang's parents opened a pastry shop, and after several years of development, they accumulated a group of loyal customers.
With Jiang Yue's help in taking care of her health, Grandma has been getting younger and younger over the years. She plays cards with her old neighbors every day and lives a very comfortable life. Her younger sister has also started middle school. Although her grades are not as good as Jiang Yue's, they are still quite good. Jiang Yue probably won't have any problem getting into university.
At the end of August, Jiang Yue's parents sent her to school. Having never traveled far from home before, they were a little worried and decided to send her there. Jiang Yue didn't object and treated it as a trip.
After arriving at the school, Jiang Yue showed her parents around. Although it was her first time here, she had Bai Ze with her, which saved a lot of trouble by scanning. She also brought Bai Ze because after so many years of development, the company no longer needed Bai Ze to keep an eye on things all the time. They just had a high-level puppet to check on things from time to time, and they could contact someone at any time if something happened.
After completing the enrollment procedures, Jiang's parents went home. Only Grandma and Xin Xin were at home. They had been away for too long and were worried about Jiang Yue. Before leaving, they gave Jiang Yue a lot of instructions, which Jiang Yue listened to obediently. Jiang's mother cried when she got into the car. Actually, the school was not far from home, but Jiang's mother thought that if Jiang Yue studied medicine, her daughter might not have time to come home when she was busy, which is why she couldn't control her emotions.
After seeing her parents off, Jiang Yue felt down for a while, but she was very good at adjusting herself. She contacted her family that evening to make sure they arrived home safely before returning to her dormitory. The dormitory was small and the annual accommodation fee was very expensive. By the time the semester started, Jiang Yue had already familiarized herself with the skills and had also practiced surgery in the virtual world. After becoming familiar with the fixed skills, she was now a top doctor.
