The ring turned into a small mole and appeared on Qin Mian’s left wrist. The current Qin Mian also had the exact small mole on his left wrist. Maybe it was a coincidence or maybe there was some mysterious reason, but Qin Mian didn’t care. What’s important was that he still had this space.
The space was a small world of its own, with mountains, water, rising sun and setting sun, as well as a classical courtyard. In particular, there was a spiritual spring in the space. Qin Mian didn’t know where the spring came from, but he was sure that there was no end to it. The water of the spiritual spring had a wonderful effect. After drinking spiritual spring water, his body had always been healthy and good. The vegetables and fruits watered with the spiritual spring water were all in good form and tasted very good that it was unimaginable how many times better than the vegetables sold outside.
Because 2012 was theorized to be The Doomsday, Qin Mian collected a lot of materials to be stored in the space, including food, clothing, useful items etc. and not only that, but also raised a few chickens and ducks, planted a variety of vegetables and fruits, and even a few field of rice and wheat. It’s more reassuring to grow one’s own food. It’s also because Qin Shiyuan gave him 5 million yuan in order to compensate him that he had the capital to squander for these things.
Now, although he transmigrated, but with these materials, he was confident that he would have a good life. There was also a strange thing in this space where it could form a ‘heartstrings knot’. When he found a person who he would mutually love in the future, he could share this space with her, live and die together. Even in this backward ancient era, they could live a beautiful life.
After drinking a glass of spring water and watering the unknown flower bud in the flower bed behind the house as usual, Qin Mian left the space. Now that he was in a strange place, he tried to stay in the space as little as possible and if he couldn’t go in, then he couldn’t go in.He stayed in the room until he heard Du Shi saying to Lei Chuntao that she would prepare meal. He got up and went to the kitchen to help light the fire.
Du Shi still didn’t have a good face for Qin Mian and he also didn’t care. He could not be hurt even if she stared at him. He even waited for Du Shi’s words to reveal some information about this space-time.
“Eldest’s [wife].” As soon as Du Shi saw his ‘clouds were light and windy’ appearance, she was annoyed. “Since you are married to Lei Family, don’t be lazy all day long! It’s your blessing that Eldest loves you dearly, but you can’t want a mile after win an inch just because of it and unable to recognize others’ good intentions! You understand?” She used the spatula to vigorously turn the dish in the wok. The spatula knocked and banged on the wok, as if the wok was regarded as Qin Mian. Even if she turned the dish fast enough, the dish in the wok still very quickly emitted scorched smell.
“Or are you against me or something! Are you trying to make the fire big?” Du Shi abruptly used the spatula to hit on the kitchen stove and stared at Qin Mian coldly: “Do you want to burn the wok through or don’t want to let the family eat? Ah?”
Qin Mian was speechless for a while. In the first place, fried eggplants need more oil but you only used a spoon to drop a few drops of oil, it will be strange if it doesn’t scorched. Doing was wrong, not doing was also wrong. He understood that Du Shi was not pleased with him. He became more and more confused. In this case, how could she agree for Lei Tie to marry Qin Mian?
“If you[1] don’t salvage this dish, it really won’t be edible. I’ll go see if they’re back.” After that, Qin Mian stood up and left.
Without waiting for Du Shi’s response, he went straight out of the yard. For a moment, he really had the urge to leave, but reason quickly convinced him. His health was not good and he was only a teenager; how far could he go even if he leaves? He could stay in the space until he gained a good health, but he knew nothing about this world and if there was any taboo or someone discovered the existence of the space, he had no choice but to die. There was also the problem of household registration. He would become a black household after leaving in this way. It was unknown how much trouble he would have in the future. He was most worried about whether there was any special reason for the original body’s owner to get married with that man. If he ran away, would that lead the Lei Family to chase him down?Not far out, a group of people came across while talking and laughing. It happened to be Lei Daqiang and the others.
Qin Mian hesitated for a moment and stood by the side of the road waiting for them.
Lei Tie saw the child from afar and walked two steps quickly before soon came to him while looking at him with questioning eyes.
Qin Mian didn’t know what his ‘questioning’ meant. He simply shook his head and smiled at the approaching Father Lei.
“Dad, you are all back. I was going to call you all back to have meal.”
“Um.” Father Lei replied simply.
Lei Xiangren and the others called out “eldest sister-in-law”.
Qin Mian nodded as before.
Behind them were several villagers who had also finished their farm work and returned home. They looked at Qin Mian strangely and smiled vaguely before they walked to another path.
Qin Mian stealthily pulled Lei Tie’s arm. When Lei Daqiang and the others went in, he let go. “I have something to talk with you.”
Lei Tie hinted for them to go inside to talk.
Just after the two entered the thatched cottage, Du Shi shrieked: “Eldest’s [wife]! Where are you running to goof off again?”
Qin Mian sighed. “Forget it. We’ll talk at night.” He didn’t believe that the old lady would be tied in front of him after dark!
Lei Tie watched him walk out of the door as he stood still with his thoughts unknown, before he went out after a while.
