"Did you eat something strange and get an upset stomach? Are you feeling better?" Qiu Zeyu asked with concern.
"It must be because the weather got cooler and we caught a bit of a chill. Let's rest a little longer and then get going." Lan Yamei had something on her mind and had wanted to have a romantic moment with Qiu Zeyu, so she had to end it hastily.
"Alright, get on the carriage first, don't catch a cold." With that, he helped Lan Ya Mei onto the carriage, then used mud to extinguish the fire before jumping onto the carriage himself, and they sped off towards Longyang Town.
When the two returned to Longyang Town, the whole street was dark and everyone was still asleep. Qiu Zeyu slowed down the carriage and slowly walked towards the barbecue restaurant.
At the bridgehead, only the tofu shop still had candlelight, and the millstone was making a clattering sound; it turned out that Old Wang was already grinding soybeans.
Lan Yamei lifted the curtain and saw the figures of an old man and a young girl through the doorway. She smiled slightly and then lowered the curtain again.
The carriage stopped in the backyard of the barbecue restaurant, and Qiu Zeyu helped her down from the carriage.
The front and back doors were tightly shut. Just as Lan Yamei was about to knock, Qiu Zeyu stopped her, put his arm around her waist, and leaped to the third-floor window, grabbing the windowsill firmly with his other hand. He swung slightly and tossed her through the window, then jumped lightly into the room himself, closing the window behind him.
This was Qiu Zeyu's room. Lan Yamei frowned. "How did you know the window wasn't closed?"
"I never close it; it's convenient for me to come and go at any time."
"Then I'll go and rest first." Lan Yamei had something on her mind, so she pretended to yawn and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Qiu Zeyu grabbed her hand and said, "I have to go out for a while. When I come back, come with me to Qiu Ming Manor. I think it's time for me to get married and have children."
Qiu Zeyu spoke with such seriousness that Lan Yamei didn't know how to respond for a moment. She thought to herself, "These ancient men are so responsible! They're already thinking about taking full responsibility even though they're only in a relationship. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing." "I'm going back to sleep now."
"You haven't agreed to my request yet!" Qiu Zeyu pressed.
"I promise you!" Lan Ya Mei really couldn't do anything about him.
Qiu Zeyu hugged Lan Yamei again before letting her leave.
Back in her room, Lan Yamei didn't dare turn on the lights. She closed the doors and windows and immediately slipped into her spatial dimension.
Zhao Zhicheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. When he saw Lan Yamei come in, he said, "Quickly think of a way to get me out of here. After you left, I walked around inside again and found that the snail rice noodle and hot pot base areas we ate at are gone. If it keeps shrinking like this, the whole space won't last much longer."
I never imagined things would develop to this point!
It was because of this space that Lan Ya Mei felt much more at ease. Whether for survival or for connecting with time and space, this space was of great significance. If this space were truly gone, who knows how things would have developed?
"I'll try to get you out of here first; we can't stay here any longer." Lan Yamei calmed herself down and quickly sorted out her thoughts. "If this space really disappears, there are two possible outcomes. First, we'll be trapped in this era and never be able to go back. That's not a bad outcome! Second, we'll return to our original era along with the space and never be able to come back."
Zhao Zhicheng said worriedly, "There is also the worst possible outcome. We will disappear along with the space! Neither in this era nor in the original era."
Lan Yamei frowned and asked, "Why do you think that?"
Zhao Zhicheng said, "Right now, I'm just a shadow in this space. You can't touch me, but I can eat, drink, and need to use the toilet. So tell me, am I a person or a shadow? Therefore, I boldly speculate that this space might digest us and grind us down."
"Digested! Ground up?"
"We didn't travel through time ourselves, but rather a wisp of consciousness. Just like the three souls and six spirits, a person can only be mentally sound if all three souls and six spirits are present! If the souls and spirits are incomplete, one will either be insane or unconscious. Don't forget, I'm a healer! Research shows that people in a vegetative state are only unable to wake up because they have suffered certain special stimuli, resulting in incomplete souls and loss of consciousness. I can't say for sure what this space is! But I always feel that this space is absorbing my energy. Perhaps I, from that era, am currently unconscious!"
"A wisp of consciousness?" Lan Yamei didn't understand medicine, nor had she read any books about supernatural beings.
"Hmm! When I first came here, I could feel my weight, clearly distinguish that I was in this era, and even more clearly hear the voices of this era. But yesterday, I suddenly couldn't feel my weight anymore. I felt as light as a wisp of smoke, as if I could dissipate at any moment. I was so scared that I drank two big bottles of water before I gradually felt my weight again. Moreover, when I fell asleep, I felt like I had gone back. Back to my original world, and I could hear my teacher speaking."
"Your teacher is speaking! You mean you can travel back in your dream?" Lan Yamei excitedly reached out to grab Zhao Zhicheng, but missed. He was still like a wisp of image, visible but untouchable.
"Yes, I heard my teacher say that his fingers were moving, so he should be waking up soon." Zhao Zhicheng said, tears welling up in his eyes.
"You mean, you're still alive?" Lan Yamei asked excitedly.
"It should be! But I can't open my eyes. In my dream, I can only hear sounds, but I can't see or smell anything." Zhao Zhicheng thought it was a dream when he woke up this morning, but after calming down and considering everything that had happened, he couldn't help but doubt that he was really still alive.
"That's great! That's great!" Lan Yamei jumped up and down excitedly! If Zhao Zhicheng could go back, that would be wonderful! And she could go back too!
Wait, I can go back too! Lan Ya Mei hesitated! If she really could go back, should she go back then?
Seeing Lan Yamei's fleeting happiness, Zhao Zhicheng assumed she was upset about not being able to go back, and comforted her, "As long as I can go back, the first thing I'll do is help you go back. Don't forget I'm a doctor! My teacher is an even more amazing doctor! Tell me your name."
Lan Yamei opened her mouth and said, "My name is Li Xiulan, I am 35 years old, from Xi'an, and a retired martial arts coach from the national team."
“I remember, I will definitely find you, believe me.” Zhao Zhicheng said, then let out a long sigh. “My soul may not be able to return to its original body. In that case, I will disappear completely, and my physical body will die naturally.”
"Death?" Lan Yamei's mind was still reeling.
"Yeah! So we can't all think the best. If that happens, we'll be saying goodbye forever!" Zhao Zhicheng said lightly, but he was terrified inside.
"No, it won't happen. You're a doctor, you've saved so many people. People who do good deeds will live a long and healthy life. You will definitely go back safely and wake up."
Thank you. I hope everything will turn out well.
“Okay, let’s try again now and see if we can get you out of this space,” Lan Yamei suggested.
"Okay, let's try again."
