Ling Jiheng's words were half true and half false.
He really wanted to know the whole picture of the space, but he could restrain the desire in his heart.
But he couldn't stand being in the same space with his wife, who wanted to sleep in a separate room from him, so he could only use such a shameless excuse to beg her to stay.
Chi Xingyue pursed her lips and finally agreed to rest with him in the conference room.
The two of them turned off the lights and lay on the desk. The dark environment seemed extremely ambiguous.
Ling Jiheng's big hands were around Chi Xingyue's waist, and Chi Xingyue could feel the stiffness of his body.
He chuckled and closed his eyes, trying to use the space master's control over foreign creatures to hypnotize Ling Jiheng.
Sure enough, the man who wanted to do something slowly closed his eyes and breathed slowly and steadily.
Chi Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes to catch up on his sleep.
He slept until mid-afternoon, and Chi Xingyue blocked Ling Jiheng's consciousness, causing him to fall into a coma.
Then he slowly got up, walked to the private room, and glanced at the data on the electronic screen.
[Space Soul Binding Progress 20%]
[Level 3 space upgrade progress 45%]
I didn't pay attention to how the progress grew, and switched it to the external image.
The snow at the place where the car was taken away was obviously not as thick as in other places, but from the dim sky and the snowflakes falling in front of the "camera", it can be seen that the snow has probably never stopped.
Her existence is indeed very important. If there were no space, Ling Jiheng would have to trek in the snow.
Chi Xingyue sat on a chair and quietly admired the snow scene for a while before getting up to prepare dinner.
She didn't plan to touch the food in the private room, otherwise Ling Jiheng would finish eating it, and she would have to wait until the third-level space upgrade was completed to eat again.
What surprised her was the change in the pistol. She had clearly fired a bullet, but it was refreshed in the early morning.
Chi Xingyue later thought that it might be because Ling Jiheng's purpose of attacking was to protect himself, so this bullet was equivalent to being used by the owner, so it came back without any damage.
Recollecting his thoughts, he went to the cafeteria. He scooped out a bowl of braised pork and potatoes and a few stir-fried vegetables. Chi Xingyue packed the food in a lunch box and hummed a little tune as he returned to the meeting room.
Nearing the second floor, Chi Xingyue released the lock on Ling Jiheng's consciousness. The man gradually woke up from his sleep, turned his head to look, and found that Chi Xingyue was not there. He sat up suddenly.
It took him a moment to realize the environment he was in. Before he could get down from the table to turn on the light, Chi Xingyue pushed the door open and walked in.
He raised his hand and flicked the switch, and the room became brighter. Ling Jiheng raised his hand to shield his eyes, and it took a moment for him to adjust.
His stomach rumbled at the aroma of the food in the lunch box. He went to the bathroom to wash his hands before coming out to eat dinner.
The movie continued and the two watched while eating.
Ling Jiheng felt that this kind of life was quite addictive, so much so that he didn't want to go out and struggle anymore, and wanted to experience a life of drunkenness and dreams.
Three days later, the snow finally stopped falling. Chi Xingyue didn't know how thick it was, but it was definitely thicker than the day before.
Chi Xingyue wasn't in a hurry to leave. Since they were already in the space, they might as well stay a few more days. Once the snow melted and the frost became more solid, they could ride the sled back home.
The Ling family had no idea and was going crazy with anxiety.
I was already worried about why they hadn't come back for so long, and now it's snowing for several days in a row. If they hadn't cleared the snow diligently, the roof would have collapsed.
"Why haven't Heng'er and Xingyue come back yet? Could they have gotten stuck on the road?"
"It's hard to say. In this situation, staying in an inn is a good idea. At most, I'll be back late. I'm just afraid..."
Shu Muyun didn't finish his words, but the old lady knew what he meant.
What am I afraid of? I'm afraid of being stuck on the road, with no village or shop in sight, and lost. With nothing to eat or drink, there's no other way out except waiting to die.
Thinking of this, the old lady's legs became so weak that she could hardly stand.
Shu Muyun hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, mother. Xingyue is a blessed child, and Heng'er will definitely be able to escape danger. We just have to wait!"
The old lady nodded: "Yes, yes, I will definitely come back safely!"
After saying that, he glanced at the neighbor next door and said, "Isn't Ji Ren going to the county to sell mushrooms? Has he left yet?"
"No, I just finished packing it up, and I asked him to cover the basket with a quilt.
You say he is really something, can't he just wait for Heng'er to come back? He insists that he has already taken enough advantage of the second brother and has to go out in the snow to sell it! "
The old lady was somewhat relieved: "It's time to go through hardships to understand how difficult life is for the second wife. That's great. Ask Ling Yi to accompany him. Don't let anything happen on the way!"
"I know those kids are thoughtful. Not only did they clear snow for our family these past two days, they also helped the villagers from time to time.
I didn’t even mention it today, and I just said I was going to the county town with Ji Ren. I felt embarrassed.”
The old lady smiled and said: "Let Taohua make something delicious for them, and when we come back, let Ji Ren give Ling Yi some dividends."
"Oh, I know!"
Shu Muyun went out and conveyed the old lady's intention to Ling Jiren.
Geng Suhua showed no dissatisfaction after hearing this. Instead, she smiled and reminded her son: "Did you hear me? Remember to pay Ling Yi for his work. You two should go early and come back early. It doesn't matter if you can't sell all the goods. Just be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Weicun came in and said he wanted to go together.
"It's impossible for the first and second wives to both contribute and for me, the third uncle, to just sit back and reap the benefits. Come on, I'll go with you. With an elder like me around, I can also put pressure on you.
As for the Shu family, it’s not easy for both the couple, so I won’t call them. Ji Ren and I will just go there! "
Just like that, the three of them went out together. They didn't even take a car, just stepped on the icy snow.
Ling Yi said, "When we get to the county, let's buy some sleds. If we walk this road a few more times, my legs will be worn out."
Ling Weicun and Ling Jiren had no objections, but they were so cold that they couldn't speak.
But he still tried his best to protect the basket behind him, fearing that the mushrooms were of poor quality and could not be sold at a high price.
The journey that was supposed to take only half an hour took them until noon, and the three of them felt like their legs had lost all feeling.
The situation in the county town was no better than that in Qingshan Village. The snow was calf-deep and almost no one was on the road.
Although the shops were still open, there were few customers and they looked deserted.
Ling Weicun asked the grocery store owner about the situation in the county town, and then went to the richest Wu Mansion and knocked on the door.
At first people mistook him for a beggar, but later they found out that he was selling vegetables.
It was just some cabbage and radish, so the doorman didn't want to report it.
"Hey, young man, we have some fresh winter mushrooms at home. Take a look. Do you need any?"
The word "winter mushroom" made the servant's eyes light up.
The masters have been complaining about the bland food for a long time, but where can they find fresh vegetables in this winter?
The dried vegetables stored in advance were bland and tasteless, and some of those grown in the greenhouse were in short supply.
If he finds fresh ingredients, won’t he be rewarded?
His eyes rolled and he hurried to find his master at home to report the situation.
The three Ling family members didn't have to wait long before they were invited into the mansion. After showing the samples to the other party, the master of the Wu Mansion didn't even bargain and bought everything.
He also said that if there are fresh mushrooms in the future, they will be sent over.
