Chapter 249: Confessing to Grandpa (Page 1/2)
It gets dark early in winter, so when it was time to get off work, Lin Man rode her bike home without waiting for Huo Qingci.
Lin Man had just returned home for a few minutes when Huo Qingci came in carrying one or two large bags. One bag contained vegetables and fruits, and the other contained clothes prepared for Grandpa.
Two sets of gray thermal underwear, a sheepskin vest with leather and fur, a down vest, and two wool sweaters.
Seeing that the children were in good spirits today, with no fever or cough, Lin Man peeled a pear for each of the two brothers and asked Liao Sijie to watch while she went to the kitchen with the vegetables that Huo Qingci brought back.
Huo Qingci carried the bag of clothes into the room and took out the clothes for his grandfather one by one and placed them on the bed.
"Grandpa, this is the winter clothing that Manman and I prepared for you. Master is making your cotton-padded jacket, so it will take about ten days before you can pick it up."
Huo Li looked at the thermal underwear, sweaters, and waistcoats spread out on the bed and said, "I already have clothes to wear. Why did you buy so many clothes for me? Just return them. Don't waste the money."
"Grandpa, please accept these. This is a gift from Manman and me."
Huo Li picked up a piece of thermal underwear and looked at it carefully.
He recalled the base clothes he had seen at the supply and marketing cooperative and couldn't help muttering to himself, "I remember that the fabrics sold back then were mostly blends of cotton and linen, right?"
He touched the underwear in his hand again and felt that its texture was obviously much thicker.
Huo Li stared at Huo Qingci with sharp eyes and asked, "Tell me, where did you get this clothes? Don't tell me you bought it on the black market. I don't believe that such an upright person like you would go to that kind of place to trade!"
Huo Li knew his grandson Huo Qingci very well. He knew that Huo Qingci was kind-hearted, upright, and always abided by the rules of etiquette.
In the past, he had never questioned the source of the items purchased by Huo Qingci, but today the situation was special, so he had to ask a few more questions to prevent his eldest grandson from going astray.
Seeing that his grandfather became suspicious, Huo Qingci quickly locked his grandfather's door without saying a word.
Then, he held his grandfather's hand tightly and pulled him into his own space.
At noon, he and Lin Man discussed for a long time, and finally decided to tell his grandfather that he owned a space.
After all, Grandpa has always treated them very well, and they firmly believe that Grandpa will never harm him.
They also hope that in the remaining short time that grandpa has, he can eat well every day, live well, and live happily.
Liao Sijie is going to get married at the end of the year, and by then, only her grandfather and her family of four will be left at home, with no other outsiders.
In this way, if they want to eat something in the future, they just need to close the door and cook it secretly at home.
Huo Li was suddenly in a completely unfamiliar environment. He turned pale with fear and exclaimed, "Oh my God! What is this place? Am I already dead?"
Before this, he had never believed in the existence of ghosts and gods. If ghosts and gods really existed in this world, why didn't they send all the villains who invaded China to the eighteen levels of hell?
Seeing this, Huo Qingci quickly pinched Huo Li's fingers and asked with concern: "Grandpa, do you feel it now?"
Huo Li tightly grasped Huo Qingci's hand and said, "Oh, I feel like we're both warm and alive. Qingci, where are we?"
Huo Qingci said proudly: "Grandpa, this is my space."

Huo Li was very confused and asked, "What the hell is space?"
"The cave that the gods have given me!"
"Immortal cave? You're kidding! I was wondering why you loved staying alone in your room when you were a kid. So you ended up here.
I originally sent you to military school, intending to train you to be my successor, but you chose to study medicine.
It seems that you chose to study medicine because of this space. That large field of medicinal herbs is cultivated by you, right?"
Huo Qingci nodded. "There's a medicinal field in this space. I started collecting herbs and selling them when I was a teenager. Later, I gradually fell in love with these herbs, so I decided to study medicine."
"Tell me, how did you get this space? Are you a god who has come down to our Huo family?"
Huo Qingci didn't expect that his grandfather, who was such a serious person, would actually joke.
He explained with a smile: "I don't know either. This place appeared in my dream when I was a child, and then I came in when I thought about it."
Huo Li really couldn't figure out how his eldest grandson got this space, and what major events had happened to him when he was a child. He had to think about it carefully.
Huo Li patted his head and said, "Qingci, I remember now. When you were three years old, your grandmother was in poor health and confused. She put a small green bead in your mouth, thinking it was candy.
We asked the doctor to see you, and he said you'll be fine once you pull the beads out."
"Grandpa, why don't I remember this?"
"How can you remember so much about when you were three years old..."
Huo Qingci thought so too. Could it be that this was how he got his space? If the space's origin made sense, then what about his healing ability? Could it also be due to that bead?
Huo Qingci asked again: "Grandpa, what kind of beads did grandma feed me?"
"I don't know either, maybe it's a medicine bead, a treasure your great-grandfather left for your grandmother.
Well, let's not go into the details of how you ended up in this space. Now that you have some free time, take me to visit your space."
"good."
Huo Qingci first led Huo Li to the sheep pen, pig pen and chicken coop that Lin Man had helped to build.
Huo Li looked at the flocks of chickens, ducks and geese in the chicken pen and asked curiously, "How many chickens, ducks and geese are there in total?"
"There were three hundred and eighty chickens, one hundred and sixty-six ducks, and eighty-seven geese."
Huo Li opened his mouth wide, "Did you raise all these? How come there are so many?"
"I didn't raise many at first, they reproduced on their own."
No wonder their family often eats meat. It turns out that the eldest grandson raises so many livestock in the fairy cave.
Huo Li pointed to the sheep pen and pig pen and said, "How many black goats are there?"
"Including the lambs, there are one hundred and thirty-two sheep. I bought the breeding stock of black goats on the island."
Huo Li said teasingly with a forced smile, "You were so scared when you got this space back then, but you didn't tell anyone. You're really amazing!"
Huo Qingci touched his nose awkwardly. He was indeed frightened when he was a child, but he didn't say anything because he was afraid that adults would mistake him for a monster and burn him.
When he grew up, he knew that he was in possession of a rare treasure, and for the sake of his family's safety, he could not tell anyone. If he had not seen his grandfather planning to spend all the family wealth today, he really had no intention of telling him.
He told his grandfather about the space because he wanted his grandfather to live a better life in the remaining days.
