When Jiang Qiao woke up again, she was even more incredulous. Looking at her body and the furnishings of the room, she could only describe it as poor, but clean.
She couldn't understand why she had been brought back to life in this way. She didn't know if it was a blessing or a punishment from God. If God had opened a convenient door for her, why not give her a wealthy family instead? It was really quite unexpected that she was reborn as a human being.
His gaze fell on the window paper with a large hole in it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a ruthless glint flashed across them.
There was no time to continue studying the situation inside the room. She quickly digested the memories left by the lingering trace of her soul. After digesting them, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. Her older brother had said that the other side would definitely win, and that was exactly what he was after.
"I never imagined that more than a decade would pass in the blink of an eye. Sigh—"
After sighing, she touched her forehead, which was still hot. This little girl with the same name as her was also pitiful. She had no parents and depended on her grandmother for survival. A few days ago was the anniversary of her uncle's death. The old lady fell ill because of her grief. The little girl was busy taking care of everything. She was already thin and was wearing little clothing. There was no heated bed, so she developed a high fever and died. Ironically, it was a blessing for her. In the blink of an eye, she was in 1958, and she was in the body of a twelve-year-old girl.
Thinking of the seriously ill old lady next door, no matter who she is, since she has taken over someone else's body, it is her responsibility to take care of the old lady.
Just as she was about to get up, she collapsed back onto the kang (a heated brick bed), feeling utterly weak. Her small frame was too frail. She gave a bitter laugh and thought to herself, "If only I had some fever reducers and anti-inflammatory medicine."
Suddenly, several boxes of medicine appeared in front of her. Even with her strong mentality, she was startled by this bizarre scene. If she hadn't been trained, she might have shouted, "This is too damn weird! Where did all this stuff come from?"
However, Jiang Qiao was stunned when she saw the writing on the medicine box. It was all in Japanese. If she remembered correctly, she had taken away a lot of Japanese things back then, including things in the hospital. Could it be that those things that disappeared into thin air came with her? Where exactly were they hidden? How come she didn't notice them back then?
She searched the surrounding area but found nothing. She could only check her own body. If there was anything, it would probably be on her. Could it be that she had some kind of magical treasure back then?
Thinking back, she didn't bring much with her at the time. The only thing she had was the Buddhist prayer beads around her neck. Could it be that these beads had an effect?
The little girl didn't have any ornaments on her body, let alone any Buddhist prayer beads. However, she did notice a problem: the little girl had a birthmark on her wrist that was exactly the same as her Buddhist prayer beads. Could it be that the Buddhist prayer beads she brought with her evolved from them?
To verify her idea, Jiang Qiao tried it several times. Looking at the things piled up on the kang (a heated brick bed), Jiang Qiao almost couldn't help but burst into laughter. God really hadn't let her down; He had truly given her a treasure that she could carry with her.
"If only I could go in and take a look—" Jiang Qiao muttered to herself.
She never expected that in the blink of an eye, she would disappear from the kang (a heated brick bed) and arrive in a strange place. Imagining and actually seeing it are two completely different things. Although she guessed that it was some kind of hidden space, when she actually saw what was inside, Jiang Qiao was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
It was the ground, real soil, and everywhere she looked there were piles of things, and without looking closely, she knew where all these things came from.
Especially when she saw that the cooked food was still at the original temperature, she couldn't help but be amazed. This treasure is great! It even has insulation measures. I'm afraid everything in it can be kept fresh and in good condition. I won't be worried about the medicines expiring.
She quickly grabbed two steamed buns and started munching on them. She was just too hungry. The original owner of this body hadn't eaten meat in a long time, and neither had she. So much so that she almost choked to death after eating the two big meat buns.
Seeing the hot soy milk, she quickly drank a big bowl. Her stomach was full, and she felt much better.
She was especially surprised when she discovered a well in the space. She had never heard of such a thing as a hidden space. However, she didn't have time to study it. She quickly took a few fever reducers and anti-inflammatory pills with the water.
Fortunately, she could read the Japanese text; otherwise, most people might have taken the wrong medicine.
She didn't have time to investigate the situation; she was worried that if the old lady woke up and found her gone, she wouldn't be able to explain.
Although this was her grandmother, you can't judge a book by its cover. The little girl didn't quite understand this before, but now that she's an adult, she's pondering the memories the little girl left behind. The old lady was paying respects to her youngest son, but she had never seen her grandmother pay respects to her parents. This was a bit strange, so it was best to be careful.
When she came out, it was already dawn. As usual, Jiang Qiao went next door to check on the old lady. She was still drowsy. When she asked her questions, the old lady just hummed in response and then fell silent. Jiang Qiao touched her head and found it was quite warm. Looking up, she noticed that there was a large hole in the paper window of the room. If Jiang Qiao didn't understand what had happened, all her years as a secret agent would have been for nothing.
It seems that this grandmother and grandson have become a thorn in someone else's side. He lowered his head and said softly, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll go cook and brew the medicine right away. Please wait a little while."
The old lady just waved her hand weakly, truly too weak to speak, her whole body aching.
When Jiang Qiao got to the kitchen and saw that there was only a little bit of food left at the bottom of the jar, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. No wonder the little girl was so hungry; the family was about to run out of food.
With a sigh, she quickly boiled water, cooked, and brewed medicine, and incidentally mixed the medicine she had taken out into the water for the old lady to drink.
Jiang Qiao was a little worried that the old lady would notice that the water tasted different, but Wang Dahua had been seriously ill these days and everything she ate tasted bitter, which made things convenient for Jiang Qiao.
After taking care of the old lady, Jiang Qiao was also covered in sweat.
She had observed before that her family lived in a large courtyard, and she didn't know how the houses were built. It was a mess, with about ten families living there, including all sorts of people from all walks of life.
Fortunately, their home was located in the northeast corner of the compound, which was a bit remote. It had a small courtyard with low walls, which looked about as tall as her. However, to get out, they still had to pass through the common area of the compound. There was also a well in the courtyard, which greatly facilitated the lives of the grandmother and granddaughter. After all, public tap water cost money, so this saved them some money.
