Chapter 18: Space Reappearance



He walked into the simple kitchen, lit the fire, washed the pot, beat the eggs, and washed the shallots and greens he had picked from the chicken coop. He was so proficient in the whole process that the fifteen years of living alone in the apocalypse hadn't been in vain.

"If only the space was still there..." Thinking of the billions of supplies in the space, her mouth was watering.

Before he could finish his words, Chu Xi froze on the spot.

Where is this?

It feels so warm, like being in my mother's arms when I was a child and feeling relaxed.

Standing at the gate of a small courtyard, there are three main rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, a toilet, and several large warehouses.

Why does it look so much like the furnishings in my space? Looking at the seemingly endless supplies in the warehouse, Chu Xi smiled with relief, and the space really followed.

Nearby is a familiar altar. I have the impression that the altar has changed a lot. There are nine pillars around it, and various ancient and strange creatures are carved on the brown pillars.

There are all kinds of mysterious creatures on it, they are lifelike, there are flying phoenixes, roaring Suanni, sleeping dragons, and lively Wuzhiqi...

They have various shapes and are strange and bizarre.

A clear spring gushed out from a platform in the center of the altar, filling the air with hot steam. The fragrance had seeped into the lungs, and the water was so clear and transparent that it gave people a wonderful feeling of vitality.

In the steaming spring, a lotus flower blooms, as crystal clear as jade.

He stepped onto the altar, quickly cupped the liquor in both hands and took a few sips. It was as sweet as honey.

Chu Xi felt refreshed all over, and squinted her eyes for a long time before waking up.

There was a small gap in the corner of the altar, and the water from the spring was flowing continuously into the distance...

Standing on the high altar, looking back and looking around...

On one side is a dense forest, lush and green, blocking out the sun, extending far up the hillside...

There seemed to be some low bushes growing inside, mixed with unknown flowers and weeds.

At the bottom are many small grasses, gathered in groups of three or five, dazzlingly green, shiny, and so pure.

On the other side is a large area of black soil watered by clear springs, but no plants grow there yet.

There seemed to be flickering light and shadow on the periphery, and Chu Xi had an epiphany that time seemed to be passing faster there?

"Is this the private plot left for me? Or an accelerated version?" Chu Xi imagined happily.

In the distance there are mountains, lakes and grasslands. The shadows of ice peaks, blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the lake, forming a beautiful picture.

Walking on the grassland is refreshing and the scenery of mountains and lakes is breathtaking.

As we approached the lake, the surface of the water was blue, the same color as the sea, but the water in the depths was blue with a hint of green, as if a huge emerald was lying quietly at the bottom of the water.

There seems to be a stream winding down to the lake from the distant mountain...

The entire space is like a natural sculpture, full of charm...

What she didn't know was that in the end times, the green ancient jade combined with space, giving life to the space, so there were clear springs and fertile soil, mountains, forests and grasslands.

By clever chance, the ancient altar that was originally integrated with the ancient jade was also integrated into it, giving the space endless world laws, so there were altars and courtyards, lakes and ice peaks.

I just felt the entire space was extremely quiet, as if there were no animals present. The huge space seemed a little lifeless. It seemed that I had to work harder and raise more animals...

Haha, Chu Xi secretly laughed.

"Oh no, I'm still cooking. Don't let the kid starve."

After saying that, he immediately slipped out of the space.

The pot had just been heated up, so I made some thick egg drop soup first, and then some fragrant egg and scallion pancakes. There was nothing else in the kitchen, but with the space, I had hope for the future.

He simply filled two large bowls, took the pancakes, cleaned up the "battlefield", and quickly evacuated.

I quietly returned to the woodshed. The yard was quiet; everyone must have gone to work to earn work points. The old hag must have gone to some intersection to chat and gossip.

Today, it is still in the form of a production team, where people work together collectively. After the harvest, the public grain is paid, and the remaining money is distributed to each household according to their work points.

In those days, most people still relied on wild vegetables and grains as their staple food, but even then, most families still could not get enough to eat. Only when the harvest was good could they live a better life. However, during the successive years of famine in the 1960s, countless people died of starvation and disease. There were even rumors of extreme cases of people cannibalizing their own children, which was comparable to the end of the world.

When I returned to the room, I saw a child about two years old who had just sat up and was dressing himself. He looked like he was only one year old. He was so thin, with a sallow face and skin and bones. There was almost no flesh on his small hands.

The child was said to be a legacy of the original owner's male comrade. He was injured while saving him during a mission, and ultimately passed away due to poor medical conditions. Before his death, the thing he was most worried about was the young child. He secretly wiped away tears several times just because of that poor child...

In the end, the child's young mother secretly left the child at the gate of the army and remarried, which also gave everyone a final understanding of the thoughts of their deceased comrades.

Fortunately, the woman was thoughtful and left a package containing clothes, milk powder and a letter.

Perhaps out of guilt and reluctance, the original owner took the child back, and it has been almost a year.

So, the original owner's husband was a grateful person.

However, after marrying the original owner, his vicious mother-in-law simply threw the child to her and chased her to work every day to earn work points, while her husband was away from home all year round. As a result, both the adults and the children had a very hard time.

By the way, her man seems to be called Shi Peng.

The child's name is Shi Feiyu, and his nickname is "Little Stone".

There is no need to worry about whether to change your surname due to adoption.

I couldn't help but go forward to help and quickly helped him put on his clothes. The thin cotton coat probably wouldn't be of much use.

"Mom, Little Stone is hungry."

The soft voice made Chu Xi's heart tremble, and a surge of maternal love and tenderness from the bottom of her heart made her eyes red.

I quickly took the food and fed him carefully. Of course, the food given to the child was milk powder and hot porridge taken out from the space.

"Little Stone is so good, come here, open your mouth, ah..."

One spoonful at a time, with great patience, she carefully wiped his mouth with a wet wipe.

At this moment, there is a kind of gentle love that makes her so attentive, and that is the natural maternal love that women have.

For a moment, the messy and simple room became unusually warm.

In the end of the world, Chu Xi became an orphan at the age of eight. He deeply felt the loneliness and helplessness of being without his mother and family. If he had not obtained the spatial ability by chance, there would probably be a pile of dry bones in the world long ago.
