After returning from Su Lianqiao's house, Wen Yan had nowhere to go, so he went back to his rented room and took a nap.
The new colleague was very nice. I rented a room in the east wing of my small courtyard to him.
My colleague's mother was also very nice. When she saw him open the door, she brought him a plate of raw dumplings.
He had eaten the pork and cabbage stuffing once and found it much better than plain noodles. When dipped in vinegar, it was a delicacy.
There are always so many heartwarming moments here that make him linger.
"Xiao Yan, it's not a big deal for you to eat plain noodles, steamed buns and boiled water every day. I'll make dumplings for you in the future. If you feel embarrassed, just buy some flour and stuffing and I'll make them for you."
"Thank you, auntie." Wen Yan's smile was particularly warm, and was very much loved by his auntie.
"Why are you being polite? By the way, why are you still going out? My cousin's daughter and her family are coming over soon. Just like what I told you before, she has a job and is pretty. You can take a look at her. It won't be awkward if you don't like her. How about having dinner at my house tonight?"
Ever since Wen Yan was transferred to the Animal Husbandry Station in Beijing, there has been an endless stream of people keen to introduce him to girls.
Wen Yan couldn't hide his heartache and shook his head to refuse, "Aunt, I want to go see my brother."
Wen Yan's younger brother died and he had to go to the cemetery again.
The aunt sighed. It seemed that he didn't want to find a partner yet. She understood and didn't force him, nor was she angry. The neighbors all took good care of him.
"Go ahead and make dumplings for yourself tonight."
"Well, thank you, auntie."
Wen Yan rode his bicycle to the cemetery in the suburbs, and he finally brought his brother with him.
Su Ying walked up the mountain from behind, and came to Wen Yan's side, one in front and one behind. She looked at the portrait on the tombstone, which was exactly the same as the man in front of her. It was Wen Yan who put his own black-and-white photo on it.
She stood there in silence for a few minutes before she asked, "Why did you bury your brother here?"
On the way up the mountain, Wen Yan picked a bunch of unknown wild flowers from the roadside and placed them in front of the tomb, explaining: "Where I go in the future, I will take my brother with me to remind myself and not forget how he died."
Su Ying tilted her head and looked at Wen Yan's expressionless face. No emotion could be seen on his face. Was this his true character when he took off his disguise?
She asked, "Then how did your brother die? Did he really fall into the sea and drown when the fishing boat encountered a storm?"
Wen Yan turned his head and denied with a smile, "No, he died before he fell into the sea. Do you want to hear it? I can tell you."
There is danger all over him, danger of telling a secret.
Su Ying also laughed, "I don't want to hear it."
Wen Yan was choked by this unexpected answer and asked in confusion: "Don't want to know? Then why did you come to see me alone?"
He and Su Ying both have a common secret that is hard to cut off, and they can guess the invitation signals released by the other party with just some small hints.
He went to Su Lianqiao's house just to tell Su Ying that he needed to talk to her alone.
He would come to the cemetery to visit his brother every weekend before and after the New Year. Today was only the second day of the New Year, and there was almost no one in the cemetery. It was an excellent and quiet place, especially now that the sun was about to set. Apart from the two of them, there was not a single living person to be seen.
Now that Su Ying is here, she doesn't want to hear his secret?
Wen Yan asked back: "Then why did you come to the appointment?"
Suying looked him straight in the eyes, "I'm just here to warn you, stay away from my sister's family."
Su Ying warned him for these indigenous people?
Wen Yan seemed to have heard a funny joke and was laughing uncontrollably. He laughed for a while, but when he saw that Su Ying still had a blank expression on her face, Wen Yan stopped laughing and frowned instead.
If he stays here for a long time, will he become like Su Ying and start to care about the safety of the indigenous people here?
It's incredible.
Wen Yan asked tentatively: "Why do you want me to stay away from Su Lianqiao's family? You can find someone to remarry, but I'm single, so why can't I pursue happiness? Your second cousin's family is really nice, and Comrade Lianqiao is sincere and lovely, so why can't I pursue her?"
Su Ying suddenly attacked, or perhaps because Wen Yan didn't even think about hiding, he was strangled by her.
She said coldly: "I don't care how you got here, you'd better follow the rules of this world. Besides, people here are emotional, a couple for a lifetime. If you can't do that, don't mess with my sister."
Wen Yan did not struggle, and said sarcastically: "How can there be so many of us? Without the door, they can't get through. What do you think we should do?"
Su Ying: ...This guy knows a lot. Should we kill him? Will it cause any trouble?
There will definitely be trouble. How about using supernatural powers to erase his memory?
This is feasible, but after clearing his memory over a large area, he might become a fool.
Wen Yan seemed to realize that Su Ying wanted to erase his memory. He was shocked and begged for mercy, "Sister, Sister Ying, let's talk it over. Don't be violent."
…
While Su Ying was still hesitating, she was interrupted.
"Who is this? Coming to the cemetery to start a fight?"
Su Ying and Wen Yan, who was being strangled by her, looked to the left and behind at the same time.
Wen Yan saw the handcuffs exposed at the man's waist. These were equipment only worn by law enforcers in this world. They were the most upright and principled people. When they saw civilians in danger, they would be the first to rush forward.
He is in danger right now and his memory may be wiped out at any moment.
Wen Yan quickly called for help, "Comrade Public Security, help me."
But this public security comrade did not move, but looked at Su Ying with surprise. Wen Yan felt that something was not good. It seemed that this public security comrade knew Su Ying, and the situation was not favorable for him.
Su Ying didn't expect to meet Duan Fan in a suburban cemetery on the afternoon of the second day of the Chinese New Year.
So, what was he doing in the cemetery?
Duan Fan was keeping an eye on a suspect. That guy was a filial son and might come to the cemetery to pay homage to his parents in the next few days. Today was his turn to stake out.
He came to the cemetery to look for a suspect and ran into his own sister, and the man next to her was not Han Jingyuan.
Judging from the situation, something unpleasant happened between the two of them. If he hadn't come over in time, they might have fought, and there was no doubt that his sister would win.
Duan Yan: "What are you two doing?"
Su Ying answered first: "He was a hooligan and met a tough guy like me."
Wen Yan is aware of the definition of hooliganism in this world. No matter whether one succeeds or not, once a person is convicted of hooliganism, he or she will be sentenced to death in serious cases.
He couldn't believe it. Su Ying was really so cruel and ruthless that she didn't care about their friendship as fellow villagers at all. It was too much.
Wen Yan hurriedly defended himself, "Comrade Public Security, you won't believe it, right? Look at the tombstone, the photo on it that has the same face as mine. How could I behave like a hooligan in front of my brother's grave?"
Duan Fan angrily punched him, "No criminal will admit to committing a crime, and all hooligans will find excuses to justify themselves..."
…
Wen Yan was beaten. Although Su Ying stopped the second punch and found an excuse to explain, he was still very angry and thought she was a hooligan. Haha, Su Ying had superpowers. Who could be a hooligan to her?
Wen Yan was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Duan Fan was impulsive and lost his mind just now, but his sister said that she was bullied by a man, so which brother can still be rational?
Su Ying didn't expect that Duan Fan, the captain of the criminal investigation team, would lose his mind and start fighting right away. She had already pulled them apart and made up a random excuse to explain it away.
She pleaded spinelessly, "Brother, can you please not tell Han Jingyuan about what you saw us doing in the cemetery today?"
Wen Yan sneered at the side, "If you see it, then see it. Are you afraid that your husband will misunderstand?
Duan Yan took a glance and raised the handcuffs, and Wen Yan immediately shut up.
Duan Yu said, "You two don't seem to be involved in any criminal activities. Since you have your own reasons, I will pretend that I didn't see anything."
Wen Yan: ...How unprincipled.
Su Ying said with gratitude, "Thank you, brother."
Duan Fan felt bitter. Although his sister called him brother, it was only to ask him to keep the secret and she had no intention of acknowledging him as her brother.
She is really adaptable.
Duan Yu couldn't help but ask, "Which day are you planning to leave?"
"It's the sixth day of the New Year. Han Jingyuan only has ten days off. We have to go back on the sixth day of the New Year."
Duan Yu said in a negotiating tone, "Actually, your sister-in-law also wants to see you. Before you leave, take some time to have a meal at my house. I guarantee that no one you don't want to see will come to disturb you."
Su Ying scratched her hair. Duan Fan had promised to keep her visit to the cemetery a secret. He just wanted to treat her to a meal. She would feel embarrassed to refuse at this time.
She agreed, "I'm going to Su Xinyi's house on the third day of the New Year, so let's go at noon on the fourth day, is that okay?"
Duan Yu smiled, "Okay, then you must come on the fourth day of the New Year. Your sister-in-law and I will not go anywhere on the fourth day of the New Year. We will wait for you at home."
…
Wen Yan went down the mountain with Su Ying. He still had a wound on his chin. Duan Fan's out-of-control punch was very powerful. Su Ying used her special powers to help him remove the blood bruise so that he wouldn't have to explain to his neighbors when he returned.
"Is that man really your brother?" Wen Yan asked angrily, "It must be fake. Did he lose his mind and help you unconditionally just because you are a woman?"
Su Ying said: "This body of mine is his biological sister. People here still value affection. Just be thankful. If I hadn't been here today, you would have been taken away as a suspect."
Wen Yan: "...My cheap brother treats you very well."
Su Ying said nothing.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Wen Yan saw a young girl from afar, hiding in a secluded place at the entrance of the cemetery. He guessed that she was waiting for Su Ying.
He said, "Let's change the time and place and have a good chat."
Su Ying refused without even thinking, "I don't want to tell you your secrets. You can do whatever you want, but don't involve me and my family."
"Is Su Lianqiao also considered your family member?"
"Calculate."
Wen Yan thought to himself what kind of family were they, and even after both photos came out, she wasn't even curious.
He said, "Sister Ying, I can't believe how low your curiosity is. Don't you have anything to ask about those two photos?"
"No."
Wen Yan was unable to catch his breath, his chest rising and falling violently. As he was about to leave the cemetery, he said, "Okay, come find me if you change your mind."
…
Su Xinyi approached Su Ying and quietly pointed at the back of the young man in front of him, "Is that your kind? Is he your friend in the other world?"
Su Ying shook her head. "All my friends in the other world are dead. I didn't ask about his background. I just warned him not to get close to my family."
Su Xinyi's heart trembled. Su Ying must have experienced something terrible, which was why she said that all her friends were dead.
But in this world, Su Ying still sticks to her principles, and even gives her the initiative to choose her body when she is unconscious.
She has no friends anymore, Su Xinyi thought, so I should be her friend and not let her be alone with no one to talk to when something happens.
After Su Xinyi made up his mind, he hugged Su Ying's arm tightly and said firmly: "Su Ying, no matter what, I will stand by your side."
Su Ying was quite touched. The people here were so easy to open up to. If you were a little nice to them, they would become your lifelong friends.
This is true for Su Xinyi and Qiao Lanlan as well.
She sent Su Xinyi home first. Su's parents had already gone home. They were very enthusiastic when they saw Su Ying. "Han Jingyuan is here. He said he wanted to pick you up. I waited for a while but he didn't show up, so I went back."
Su Xinyi stood at the door and said what was in his heart: "Han Jingyuan is a good person. I think you can trust him. If you don't want to keep a secret alone, try to tell him."
Su Ying hesitated, "Let me think about it."
…
After leaving Su Xinyi's house, Su Ying got on the bus home. She should be able to make it home in time for dinner.
After getting off the bus, she saw Han Jingyuan waiting at the station. Although the snow had stopped, it was still very cold outside. She ran over and said, "It's so cold outside. Just wait for me at home."
Han Jingyuan held her hands in his palms. Fortunately, her hands were not cold.
The two walked into the courtyard, and Han Jingyuan said, "I went to a friend's house in the afternoon, and went to Uncle Su's house on the way back. I wanted to pick you up, but you and Sister Xinyi didn't come back. Where did you go?"
Su Ying said: "I was just strolling around the street. Oh, I ran into Duan Fan. He was trying to please me and wanted me to go to his house for a meal. I couldn't stand it. How about we go there at noon on the fourth day of the New Year?"
"Why are you soft-hearted again?"
Su Ying thought that she was not soft-hearted, she was just afraid of trouble. After all, she asked Duan Yu to keep a little secret for her. He just wanted her to go for a meal, it was a small matter, so she agreed.
"Yes, I just felt soft-hearted. If you want to ask me for something in the future, just beg me nicely, and maybe I will soften my heart." Su Ying joked.
Han Jingyuan's heart moved, "Really?"
"real."
…
On the fourth day of the New Year, Han Xiujun and her husband were cooking at home. Today her sister-in-law would bring her brother-in-law and the children back.
Speaking of which, although she has never met this sister-in-law, Han Xiujun has heard a lot about her deeds, which makes her admire her very much.
At least she felt she was better than her previous sister-in-law.
Han Xiujun really didn't want to mention her parents-in-law. Her mother-in-law didn't know what was going on. After she knew her sister-in-law's identity, she didn't mention the plan of visiting her family to recognize her relatives. Instead, she went to the prison to visit Duan Chuxia several times.
It's really heartbreaking. No wonder my sister-in-law doesn't even want to pay attention to her husband.
Han Xiujun emphasized to her husband again, "You won't be called away to work overtime again today, right?"
Duan Fan: "Absolutely not. I have informed my boss and colleagues that my sister is coming today. Even if it rains knives from the sky, I will not care."
"Is mom going to cause trouble?"
Duan Yu said, "I have warned my father that if he dares to ask my mother to come over today, I will put an announcement in the newspaper tomorrow to sever our father-son relationship."
He does what he says.
Han Xiujun felt amused, thinking that her husband had really given it his all this time.
Duan Yan always looked outside the door, "Why haven't they come yet? They didn't go home early and drive to the station without saying a word, did they?"
This is something that both Su Ying and Han Jingyuan can do.
Last time, when Han Jingyuan's mother celebrated her 50th birthday, Han Jingyuan took his wife and children back to South Island a day in advance and did not attend his mother's birthday party. His mother was furious but there was nothing she could do.
Han Xiujun said, "I don't think so. My aunt is a person who keeps her word. If she promises to come, she will definitely come. It's only a little after ten o'clock now. You can wait for another half an hour. Don't be impatient."
…
Half an hour later, Su Ying and Han Jingyuan arrived, bringing all four children with them.
"Uncle, aunt." Gu Cancan and Han Xinxing took the red envelopes for meeting each other and spoke very sweetly.
According to their seniority, Gu Zhinan called them brother and sister-in-law.
Han Jingchen and the Duan family have known each other since childhood. In addition, Duan Chuxia is his former second aunt, and now she follows Cancan's generational relationship and calls them uncle and aunt.
The one-bedroom, one-living-room apartment that Duan Fan currently lives in was allocated by his wife's unit. He was supposed to have been given a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment before, but he gave it to Sheng Jianye.
Although there is only one room, the living room is quite large and eight people can squeeze together and sit around the table.
Duan Fan was very happy and dragged Han Jingyuan to drink until they got drunk. Before lunch was over, Duan Fan was carried to the bedroom by Han Jingyuan.
Han Xiujun laughed and was angry at the same time. She made a hangover soup for her husband. "Your brother can't drink much. He went to my house on the second day of the Chinese New Year. His elder and younger brothers-in-law urged him to drink, but he didn't drink a single sip. He must be really happy today."
Su Ying helped Han Xiujun clean up the kitchen. "I heard that Ms. Wen had a fight with her sister-in-law before the New Year?"
During the Chinese New Year, there is no place like home without gossip among relatives. Moreover, Comrade Su Lianqiao found out all the trivial matters of Duan Fan's family and even came to tell her. It was hard for Su Ying not to know.
Han Xiujun paused, feeling very sad. Her mother-in-law took the opportunity to make a fuss about her inability to have children.
"My mother-in-law has been in a bad mood for the past six months. I'm almost 30 years old and I haven't given birth to a child for your brother. I'm lucky that she has endured for so many years before getting angry."
Su Ying disagreed, "Having a child is your own business, you don't need to listen to other people's nagging. Does your sister-in-law want to have a child?"
Han Xiujun touched her flat belly with a gloomy expression. "No matter if it's a boy or a girl, I still want to have a baby. Unfortunately, after seeing so many Chinese and Western doctors, my belly hasn't moved in all these years."
Su Ying asked, "What does my brother think?"
Speaking of Duan Yu, Han Xiujun showed a happy smile on her face.
"Your brother is such a good man. He has never complained in all these years. He even said that the inability to have children might be the man's problem, but after a checkup, there was nothing wrong with his body. He also advised me that if I was worried, he would get a sterilization, so that neither of us could have children and neither of us would look down on the other."
But Han Xiujun firmly disagreed and would not allow her husband to give up the idea, thinking that she might get pregnant someday.
Su Ying said, "Sister-in-law, I have been learning medicine from my grandfather and my father since I was a child. I will take your pulse. My father left a few prescriptions. If you are not afraid, you can try them."
Han Xiujun had nothing to be afraid of. The worst that could happen was that she would still not be able to have children. Her aunt took the initiative to help her, and she was so happy that she couldn't contain herself.
Su Ying went to the bedroom with Han Xiujun and closed the door. Taking Han Xiujun's pulse was just a cover. She used her special powers to investigate and found out that Han Xiujun had a constitution that made it difficult for her to conceive, but it was not true that she could not get pregnant.
Using her special powers to help her vent, Su Ying wrote a prescription and gave it to Han Xiujun, asking her to take it for half a month first, and then stop taking it and wait a few months before planning to have a child.
"Sister-in-law, please keep calm. Sometimes the more anxious you are, the worse it will be. Besides, my brother is busy with work. Sister-in-law wants a child. You should calculate the days when it is best to get pregnant and try to keep my brother at home."
Han Xiujun's face turned red. People said her sister-in-law was thick-skinned, and she had experienced that. However, her sister-in-law was analyzing and planning for her, and Han Xiujun was very grateful.
She can consider her sister-in-law, so she doesn't actually hold any grudge against her brother, right?
Han Xiujun planned to wait until her husband sobered up and tell him to make him happy.
…
Duan Fan fell drunk on the bed. Han Xiujun was sending her aunt's family out and was almost knocked down by an old lady who suddenly rushed over. Fortunately, Su Ying pulled her aside.
The old lady couldn't stop the car and fell headfirst into the weeds. She got up and cursed, saying that Han Xiujun was trying to hurt her on purpose.
He also cursed Duan Xuan to die a miserable death, saying that the couple deserved to not be able to have children.
How much hatred and resentment must one have to curse Duan and his wife like this.
Su Ying frowned and asked her sister-in-law what was going on, "Could it be that my brother has arrested someone from her family?"
Han Xiujun thought that her aunt had lost her memory and didn't remember these messed up things. She didn't want to upset her, so she told them to leave first, "Ignore this crazy old lady."
It was not until the way back that Gu Zhinan explained, "Sister, that old lady's daughter-in-law said she died after taking the medicine my father prescribed. My father was fired from the Chinese medicine clinic and died of depression not long after. Don't you have any memory of it at all?"
Gu Zhinan absolutely did not believe that his father's medicine would kill people.
"After her daughter-in-law died, the whole family made a scene outside the Chinese medicine clinic every day. The clinic had no choice but to ask my father to go home and rest."
Seeing that Gu Zhinan had said it, Han Jingyuan simply told Su Ying everything.
"After Duan Xuan knew that you were his sister, he inquired about your family's situation. He didn't believe that your adoptive father's medicine had killed someone, and suspected that your family was using the opportunity to extort money. He couldn't find any evidence at the time, so he targeted the old lady's family."
"Their family is really the same kind of people, none of them are good people. The old lady's son-in-law embezzled public funds, and after being found out by Duan Fan, he was directly fired from his job and sentenced, so the old lady hated your eldest brother."
Su Ying didn't know what to say for a moment. She liked to be alone. The more people were nice to her, the more things she had to worry about.
She thought about her recent troubles and the two photos. It was obvious that they were trying to lure her out. If it wasn't resolved, the safety of everyone around her would be at risk.
After thinking for a while, Su Ying said, "I want to go see my adoptive parents tomorrow. Don't follow me. I just want to go alone."
Han Jingyuan was worried about Su Ying going to the cemetery alone, so he wanted to accompany her. "I'm really worried about you going alone. I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain."
"That's fine."
…
After arriving home, Su Ying called Su Xinyi and told him that she would go to the cemetery to visit her adoptive parents the next day.
"Han Jingyuan is with me, but he's at the foot of the mountain. Sister Xinyi, please find a chance to ask Wen Yan in private whether he will go to see his brother tomorrow."
Su Xinyi immediately understood that Su Ying wanted to see Wen Yan for something and wanted to meet him alone.
She understood, "Okay, I'll go ask right away. Don't worry, no one will know. I'll just say I went to see a classmate."
Su Xinyi's physical condition and IQ had always been like that of a child of a few years old, but the Su family really loved her. Su's mother accompanied her daughter from elementary school to high school, allowing her to experience what the world was like at every stage.
In junior high and high school, she was already a big kid. Her classmates were all very nice and always took good care of Su Xinyi. In high school, Su's mother didn't even need to accompany her. In the morning, her classmates would come to the door to pick her up and go to and from school together.
The classmate she visited today was a very good playmate of hers. In Su Xinyi's memory, there were still many beautiful friendships between classmates left by the original owner.
After his IQ returned to normal, this classmate's mother even thought it would be nice if her son could find her as a partner, and tried to bring them together secretly, but neither of them had that intention and they remained good classmates.
Su Xinyi brought gifts to his classmate's home, and his classmate's family insisted on staying for dinner, and also invited Wen Yan. Su Xinyi did not refuse, and found an opportunity before the meal to give Wen Yan a message.
"Su Ying said she's going to the cemetery to see her adoptive parents tomorrow, and asked me to ask you if you're going tomorrow, she's alone."
Wen Yan's hands trembled, and he nodded with forced calmness.
Su Xinyi was in a good mood as she could finally help Su Ying.
As I was walking and almost reaching my doorstep, I suddenly ran into a haggard-looking man at the corner. He had an untidy beard and bloodshot eyes. I was really afraid that this man would collapse at the next moment.
Su Xinyi was shocked, "Gu Chengfeng, what happened to you?"
…
Because she had to leave on the sixth day, and several relatives had left on the fifth day, she couldn't refuse. She had dinner at her fourth cousin's house, and Su Ying had to leave at seven o'clock, "I have to go see my parents."
Fourth cousin: "...Daughter, it's night time now and the cemetery is deserted. Aren't you afraid?"
Su Ying: "What's so scary about me going to see my parents?"
Since it was not the first time that Su Ying went to the cemetery at night, her family members gave her a few words of advice but did not take it seriously.
Su Lianqiao, in particular, once went to the cemetery to look for her cousin in the middle of the night.
It's no big deal.
But Han Jingyuan thought his wife would be scared. "We won't leave until tomorrow afternoon. We can visit our parents tomorrow morning. We'll have enough time."
Su Ying: "Han Jingyuan, don't tell me you are afraid of ghosts."
Han Jingyuan: ... "Okay, I'll go with you."
Su Lianqiao volunteered to send the four children home. Han Jingyuan was afraid that there would be no car when he returned, so he borrowed a car to take his wife to the cemetery to pay tribute to their adoptive parents late at night.
He was at the foot of the mountain, and seeing that Su Ying still insisted on going up the mountain alone, he had no choice but to tell her, "Wait for you for two hours. If you don't come down, I'll go up to find you."
Su Ying said, "Half an hour up the mountain, half an hour down the mountain, do you think one hour is enough?"
Han Jingyuan: "How much do you have to say? Isn't an hour enough to tell your parents?"
Su Ying: "I may not come back next year. What will happen if I say more? Three hours, it's eight o'clock now, I will definitely come down before eleven o'clock."
Han Jingyuan was very helpless. Only his wife would go up the mountain to chat with his parents so late at night.
"Okay, be alert and be safe."
Su Ying laughed, "Dead people are the safest. If there really is a supernatural incident, no matter how powerful I am, I can't handle it."
Han Jingyuan: "You are getting more and more ridiculous. It's 8:05 now, and you have wasted another five minutes of time with your parents."
Su Ying stopped chatting with him and hurried up the mountain. She walked quickly, hoping to make up for the five minutes.
…
Wen Yan waited shivering in the cold wind for an entire afternoon. When he saw Su Ying walking towards him under the moonlight, he was angry but dared not say a word.
"Sister Ying, can you please have a sense of time? Look at what time it is now. I haven't had lunch or dinner yet. With my small body now, I will definitely get sick from the cold tomorrow."
"I'm sorry, the people here are too enthusiastic. I can't escape the clutches of my aunt with my personality. I can't leave. Well, I'll give you some supernatural powers to ensure that you won't get sick tomorrow."
Su Ying held Wen Yan's hand, which was icy cold. It was the coldest time of the year, and Wen Yan had no special abilities, so he was indeed not cold-resistant.
She felt quite apologetic and gave him a lot of supernatural powers. Wen Yan's body gradually warmed up, he felt more energetic, and his hunger was less.
Su Ying said, "Han Jingyuan is waiting for me at the foot of the mountain. I have to go down the mountain at half past ten. He must see me at eleven o'clock, otherwise he will come looking for me. Let's hurry up and exchange information."
Wen Yan nodded. He came to see Su Ying to exchange information with people of the same kind.
He said, "After coming here, I checked the history books here. Eighty years ago, this world was in the Guangxu period, and our world was in the other world. It was also in that year that a door appeared between the two worlds. It was actually a time-space connection channel that allowed a few people with supernatural powers to travel back and forth."
"But people over there can't live in this world for long. If we don't go back in time, we'll die suddenly. So no matter how much we yearn for this world, it's useless. We can't stay here. If we want to survive, we have to go back."
"But we can transport supplies through this space-time channel. Food and water are the most lacking things in the other world, but here, these two things are not scarce and are cheap. Any medicinal herbs are panaceas for them, and any supernatural powers they display are considered miracles. We have even specially trained a family to do the business of buying and selling food and supplies for us."
"This business has been going on for more than 70 years. My boss's family has mastered the time-space channel. For more than 70 years, they have owned the largest base fortress in the other world. Until a few years ago, the door of that channel suddenly stopped working."
"Originally, there was nothing we could do about it. If it was gone, it was gone. But suddenly one day, we rediscovered food and fruits on the black market that could only be produced in this world."
"That means the door is still there, it's just moved to a new location, and is being used by another group of lucky people."
"Whoever controls the gate will have the potential to develop the next strongest base. The boss's family has selected several candidates and set the rules. Whoever can take back the gate will be the next heir."
"My boss finally found the team that mastered the space-time channel. He found out that they only used the channel to come to this world occasionally to eat and the supplies they brought back at a time were no more than a week's rations for seven people. They also often helped the weak who were starving to death. My boss was furious."
What Wen Yan didn't say was that he had also been helped before, and that was the most delicious multi-grain rice ball he had ever eaten.
He took out a group photo, which showed a team of seven people, five men and two women.
This photo is the same one that was developed from the camera film in Cui Xingdong's basement.
Wen Yan handed the photo to Su Ying. "It was this team. There were seven people. They were later arrested by my boss and imprisoned for three years. They were tortured for three years. Except for the youngest girl, the others died after being tortured. But no one told me where they went."
Wen Yan's voice trembled. "My boss promised that as long as they told him where the door was, they could get whatever they wanted in the base. But they would rather die than tell me. I really don't understand. Is that door more important than their lives?"
Su Ying's teeth were trembling and her voice was very soft.
"Because that door is me. The ability to travel between two time periods is my special ability. The six people who died were my family. What they were guarding was not the secret of the door, but my secret."
Wen Yan looked up in horror, and suddenly he understood a lot of things.
Of the seven-member team, only six were left hanging on the base's defensive wall and being eaten by mutant beasts. Some people who knew the situation speculated that the youngest girl might have sold out all the team members because she fell in love with the boss.
But the truth is not like this.
Su Ying has the ability to travel back and forth in time. Her companions protected her and never said a word until they died. They are all very tough.
Wen Yan asked with difficulty: "It was you who led the beast tide to the base later, right?"
Su Ying nodded, her voice erratic, not like her own, "Yes, I want revenge, otherwise why do you think I stayed in the base and didn't run away, enduring the disgust to deal with your boss?"
Wen Yan: ...Su Ying is really the girl in the middle with a bright smile in the group photo of seven people.
He cupped his hands in admiration, "You are ruthless, I can't compare to you."
