The two of them were busy the whole afternoon. With so much to do, time was really running out.
In order to save time, they split up into two groups. So when they finished everything and opened the door back home...
Meng Xiao was dumbfounded.
He swallowed and turned to look at Shen Qingli: "Qingqing... although we travel light, we don't have to travel so light... Tell me, how are we going to sleep at night with only the bed board left?
"I don't mind. When I'm on a mission, I can sleep on the ground in the middle of winter. Do you want to sleep on this wooden board? The temperature drops at night. I'm afraid you can't handle it."
Shen Qingli smiled awkwardly: "It's over! Sorry, I forgot, I was just thinking about going into battle lightly..."
Shen Qingli felt very embarrassed! She really forgot! When packing up, Kuku put the things into the snakeskin bag.
What to do! If she were alone, she could go into the space and sleep, but Meng Xiao was here...
"There are no buses going to the county at this time, and there are no guesthouses in town, so we have to go to the county. We can't go to the collective dormitory either. There are no quilts, so we have to sleep on wooden planks and get cold.
Otherwise, I can go and ask the captain if he has any extra quilts. This is the only way. You wait at home, I'll go right away."
Shen Qingli watched Meng Xiao think of all the possible solutions and made a decision in his heart, "No need to go."
"Silly girl, how are you going to sleep today if you don't borrow a quilt? Be good, I'll be back soon, or you can come with me." Meng Xiao said as he was about to hold her hand and go together.
"Brother Meng, close your eyes." Shen Qingli bit his lip and whispered.
Meng Xiao asked, "Why can you turn a quilt into something?", but he still closed his eyes obediently.
He never could bear to refuse his little girl.
Shen Qingli took his hand, and the soft touch made Meng Xiao's heart skip a beat. He closed his eyes and couldn't see, but he felt a flash of light before his eyes, and his head was dazed. He subconsciously tightened his grip, but he still kept his eyes closed.
"Open your eyes, Brother Meng."
Meng Xiao slowly opened his eyes, adjusted to the light, and saw the scene clearly. His heart skipped a beat as he looked at the buildings in front of him that he had never seen before. They were extremely tall and huge.
Slowly turning to face Shen Qingli, hesitantly asked, "Qingqing, what about this?"
"This is the space where the birthmark on my wrist is. I don't know what's going on. Brother Meng, you don't think I'm a monster, do you?"
Shen Qingli ultimately kept quiet about her rebirth. It was something that even people in later generations found unbelievable, so she decided not to share it. Furthermore, she and the original owner shared the same name, appearance, and even birthmark, which made her think this might have been destined.
"No." Meng Xiao took a few breaths to calm himself down and forced himself to accept everything in front of him.
"Why would I think you're a monster? No matter what, you're still my Qingqing. Don't tell this to anyone else, it's very dangerous. And this... will this space have a bad influence on you?" Meng Xiao was now afraid that the existence of this space would have some influence on her.
"No, see that spring water? Drinking it can strengthen your body and is good for your health. Then, on the last day of every year, three drops of milky white liquid condense. I haven't tried it, so I don't know what effect it has, but I think it must be more precious than the spiritual spring water. Maybe it can save lives. I collected them all.
That tall building houses a huge market, with everything, and an endless supply. The western-style building next to it is where we live. We might end up sleeping there tonight.
Shen Qingli pulled Meng Xiao around and showed him around, wanting to share his new toy with him like a child.
Meng Xiao was a little dizzy from the impact of information one after another. All the things in the mall that he had never seen before appeared in front of him.
He took a deep breath, turned around, put his hands on Shen Qingli's shoulders and turned her towards him: "Qingqing, a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. Remember! You must never let anyone know about the existence of this place again, okay? Actually, you shouldn't have told me."
Shen Qingli looked at his worried eyes and felt a little warm in her heart: "I believe you, so I tell you, you won't hurt me, right?"
Meng Xiao put his forehead against hers:
"Well, Meng Xiao will never hurt Shen Qingli."
Their breaths intertwined and they were getting closer and closer. Just as they were about to kiss, Shen Qingli pushed him away with a sly smile and ran away: "Come on, we haven't seen the inside of the house yet!"
Meng Xiao had no choice but to keep up with her pace, and the two of them toured Shen Qingli's villa inside and out.
Shen Qingli finally led him into the bathroom, "It's time to take a shower and go to bed. I'll teach you how to use these things. The red direction on this faucet is hot water, and the blue direction is cold water. You can adjust the water temperature yourself when washing your face and brushing your teeth.
"That's the one for the shower, the faucets all operate in much the same way. The white one outside the glass door is the toilet, or, uh... the restroom. You sit on it and use it... When you're done, stand up and press the button on the side. That's it... As for the shampoo, toothpaste, shower gel, and other items, just read the words on them." Shen Qingli patiently explained each one.
Meng Xiao listened attentively, his heart already filled with turmoil.
"These are really great. Our country will definitely get better and better in the future. We will definitely have these things by then."
Shen Qingli nodded. "In the next few decades, our country will develop rapidly in all aspects of economy, science and technology, agriculture, and military, and become a powerful nation with a say. In the future, every household will have these things. The prosperity of the city will be beyond your imagination, with high-rise buildings everywhere. In the village, every household will have a house, land, and a car, and they will have enough food and warm clothes."
