Because she was too angry and overly excited, the big swelling on the back of Meng Tao's head started to hurt again. The windows and walls she saw seemed to be shaking and deforming. She was dizzy. She stumbled back to the bed and fell headfirst onto it.
When she closed her eyes to rest, she felt a cool breeze blowing towards her. When Meng Tao opened her eyes, she was shocked: How come she was on a cliff?
No, it should be on a stone platform, about ten square meters in size and width. The reason why I feel like I am on a cliff is because there are clouds and fog all around!
The sea of clouds was so vast that one could not see the bottom. The wind brought by the rolling clouds made people feel cold. Meng Tao closed her eyes and imagined it, which was even more thrilling: This place was more like the top of a famous mountain from a high altitude in movies and TV shows, and there was no way down! Oh my God, how did she get here? The stone platform was oval in shape, naturally flat, clean and dust-free, but there was nothing on it. There were two pine trees growing on the side, like the Huangshan strange pine, leaning outward, so that even the pine needles would not fall on the stone platform.
Meng Tao sat in the middle of the stone platform. She was slightly afraid of heights and generally didn't dare to stand on a high place and look down unless she was bored.
Looking at the rolling sea of clouds in all directions, as if it could swallow up the stone platform at any time, Meng Tao was confused: Is this the legendary golden finger, space? What is the use? Other traversers have a large amount of supplies stored in their space, spiritual springs and fertile land for planting, and hot springs, but she only has this?
This is too poor, it's the poorest space in history! The place is small and dangerous. As the saying goes, poor people have nothing but roofs and walls. Not only is there no roof, there are no walls either. It's empty and has no shelter from the wind or rain. What if the wind blows her down? There are obviously thousands of mountains and valleys below. If she falls down, she will die.
After complaining, Meng Tao had some different feelings. She felt very comfortable sitting on this stone. Was it because of the good air? She could breathe more smoothly than outside, and her head was no longer dizzy or painful. She subconsciously reached out to touch the back of her head. Hey, the big swelling had disappeared by half! She understood that this space had a healing function. Maybe it could be used as a health club?
Not bad, right? In fact, she should be grateful for the space. She shouldn't be picky. This is great luck.
At least, when she encounters danger, she can hide in it and protect herself immediately.
The sea of clouds was sometimes surging and sometimes calm. Sitting on the stone platform was like sitting on a boat riding the wind and waves. It felt sour and refreshing for someone who was slightly afraid of heights and prone to seasickness. It took Meng Tao a while to adapt. He slowly stood up and tried to walk to the stone platform to look at the pine trees. The two pine trees were about five or six feet apart. The trunks were as thick as Meng Tao's waist, and the pine needles were dense and exceptionally green. Looking down, they had roots deeply embedded in the cracks under the stone platform. The area that could be seen under the stone platform was steep and rugged, with quite a lot of cracks in the rocks.
Meng Tao thought: If pine trees can grow, there must be soil in the cracks of the rocks. I can get some saplings or seeds and throw them around the stone platform to see if I can give it a try. When they grow, they will become a fence, which will add a safety factor and I won't have to worry about them falling.
The spaces of other people in the novel all have their origins, but Meng Tao doesn't know where her space comes from.
She returned to the center of the stone platform and sat down to think carefully. Suddenly, she felt a slight burning sensation in the middle of her collarbone. Meng Tao reached out and touched it. It seemed like there was a small mole there. If she wore a more delicate necklace, the pendant would stop there.
When she fell, one of her hands subconsciously hooked into a crack in the stone wall, and she took out a round bead of unknown material, which looked like stone and jade. After washing it, the pattern on it was mysterious and beautiful. She liked it very much and wanted to wear it but couldn't bear to destroy the integrity of the bead, so she went to a jewelry store to customize a silver wire net to catch the bead, turning it into a unique piece of jewelry, matching it with her dress, and wearing it from time to time to make herself beautiful.
She was wearing this bead the day she had her car accident on the road.
And the small mole she now felt on her collarbone should be the bead.
So, it was that bead that brought her into this world?
Meng Tao instantly felt a sense of familiarity and belonging to this space: This is hers, so it is naturally the best! Meng Tao has been in the space for a while, and she is worried that she will be discovered by the Tian family, so she has to go out and take a look first.
She closed her eyes, concentrated and silently recited the word "get out". When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the original small room. Just as she sat down on the bed, she heard footsteps outside the door. Someone was walking towards this room. Meng Tao thought to herself that it was a close call.
She stared at the wooden door with a cold gaze, thinking that it might be Wang Shuifeng and Tian Yalan again, mother and daughter, who were so anxious to see her, could it be that Shi Datou? She couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore, and she had to stay awake and be alert from now on. If Wang Shuifeng wanted to make trouble at dinner and cook egg custard with sticky grass, then let her cook it, but it would never be her, Meng Tao, who would be the victim.
Meng Tao came up with a bold idea. She decided to wait for the right opportunity and strike first to get rid of this family of troubles as soon as possible.
Let them reap what they sowed! The wooden door was pushed open, and Wang Shuifeng and Tian Yalan walked in. Seeing Meng Tao leaning against the head of the bed, the mother and daughter looked at each other. Tian Yalan curled her lips, and Wang Shuifeng smiled what she thought was a kind smile and said:
"Taohua, you're awake, why didn't you say anything? Do you want some water? Are you feeling unwell? You must tell mom, look at you, you were washing clothes by the river and you fainted without making a sound, it was so scary."
"That's right, you should be more careful now that you're an adult. You fell and got a big bump on your head. Fortunately, I had the strength to carry your heavy body back. You should know what is good for you and be grateful to me." Tian Yalan followed.
