Chapter 3 3. Mysterious space

   "Am I dead?"

   "Where is this?"

   "Is this how people die?"

  Wang Hong was floating in the air at this time, except for the black land below, the other directions were covered with white mist. He stretched out his hand to pinch his thigh hard to prove that he was not dead, but found that his hand had passed directly through his thigh, and tried again to pass his hand through his chest, and his head could pass through.

   "It seems that he is really dead. He was not bitten to death by a wolf, but played to death by himself." I felt a little uncomfortable and felt a sense of relief.

  Working hard every day, just for the bowl of porridge mixed with a lot of wild vegetables at night, I have lived for twelve years without even eating dry rice a few times. Try to earn some food every day, just to have the strength to find food tomorrow. What's the point of living like this for another few decades? If there is still a chance, I must go to the outside world to see and make a fortune, but unfortunately there is no such thing.

   "What if my younger brother is left alone after I die? Can I still live? It's just that I'm dead, so what else can I do! That's all! Life and death depend on fate, and there is nothing you can do if you worry."

   "It turns out that this is what it looks like after death. It is completely different from the legendary underworld. I haven't seen a single ghost except myself."

  Wang Hong found that his thoughts could control his flight and teleportation. He flew around in the space for a while and landed on the black ground. "The land is quite fertile, but it's a bit small. There's only one piece of land, (one piece of land is equal to 66 square meters) should be able to grow crops, but unfortunately I'm dead, and there are no seeds to plant here. Alas, everything is over! "

  I don’t know how long I stayed in it, maybe one day, maybe three to five days, maybe longer. Without the freshness at the beginning, I suddenly felt bored.

   There was nothing in it except a piece of black earth, no other life, no sound. The white mist all around was like a foggy wall, and it didn't budge even after pushing hard.

  I feel like I'm going crazy if I stay any longer. It's worse than being in prison. At least I can see living people in prison. Even being beaten every day is better than being locked up in this dead place. I don't know how long I will stay here.

   "Is there anyone? Come out and let's chat for a while?"

"Once upon a time, there was a rich man who bought a good horse that could run eight hundred miles a day. The rich man thought the horse was good, but he had to eat fifty catties of fodder every day, which was not worth it. The rich man rolled his eyes and thought of a brilliant idea. On the second day he only fed forty-eight catties of forage, and on the third day it was forty-six, decreasing daily. One month later, his horse died. The rich man sighed: Oh! It’s really bad luck. The horse just learned not to eat grass. died."

   "Hahaha! Let me tell you one more thing. Once upon a time there was a monkey..."

  Wang Hong told himself stories, chatted, and finally sang loudly.

"I want to go out!"

"let me out!"

"let me out!"

  Suddenly, I felt a fluctuation around me, my eyes dazzled, and the person disappeared from this space.

  Opening his eyes again, he found that he was still lying on the place where he had just fought with the wolf. Not far away, the body of the wolf was lying quietly in a pool of blood.

   "What's going on here? Could it be a dream?"

   "It's not like a dream, the experience just now is very real."

  As soon as the mind thought of that mysterious space, it appeared in the space again.

   "Let me out!" shouted a few times, and went out again.

   "Get in!"

"go out"

  …

  Looking at the black land in front of me, I no longer have the same fear as before. As long as the spirit is highly concentrated, you can enter and exit at will.

  Wang Hong was so excited that he danced his hands and feet, turned several somersaults in the air, and bowed three times to the four directions, thanking all the great gods he knew.

  It has been proved just now that what is outside can be brought in, and what is inside can also be taken out. The back basket, medicine hoe, hunting knife, and that huge kudzu root are all placed on the black soil at this time.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! I finally have a piece of land! I want to plant all of this land with crops, sweet potatoes, and wheat. It's a pity that there is no water, so I don't know if I can grow rice." There is no farmer who doesn't like the land , Wang Hong’s family has been tenant farmers for generations, and their love for the land has been brought from the bottom of their hearts. Once your wish is fulfilled, you will naturally be ecstatic.

   "It's getting late, let's go back first. If there is another wild wolf, it will be troublesome." The wound was simply bandaged. He also threw the wolf's body into the space, found a stronger wooden stick, sharpened one end, and held it in his hand.

   On the way home, he didn’t encounter danger again, but when he was walking, the wound on his body was so painful that he grinned. When he was about to get home, he went into the space again and carried the wild wolf out of the back basket.

   "Hey! Er Gouzi, why did you come back covered in blood?"

   "Did you meet a wild beast? It's okay, as long as the person is back." Wang Dazhu from the village was returning from the field with a **** dangling on his shoulders. Seeing the blood all over Er Gouzi's body, he was also shocked.

   "At such a young age, to be able to escape from the claws of wild beasts is to smoke from the ancestral graves. When you go back, you have to burn incense and pay homage to your ancestors."

  Hearing his shout, the surrounding people gathered around. At this time, when I got closer, I found the wolf's head protruding from the back basket. His jaw dropped in shock. You must know that even adults, one-on-one may not be able to hunt wild wolves. There was even a woman who grabbed the ear of her son next to her, "It's also twelve years old, look at the two dogs, who can fight wolves when they go up the mountain, and catch fish when they go down the water. They can support their two brothers. And look at you, you can spend all day Knowing how to eat, I asked you to dig some wild vegetables, you went to play in the river, yesterday I asked you to collect some firewood, you climbed a tree to dig out bird nests, you didn’t dig anything, and even tore your clothes.”

  Other onlookers were also talking about it. Usually, several people went to the mountains to hunt together, hunting some wild goats, roe deer, wild larvae, and the like. Everyone would not provoke them when they saw wild wolves.

  Wang Dazhu saw that he was injured and his face was pale, so he didn't say any more, he quickly took the back basket and helped him to send it home.

  ………

   After resting for two days and using some herbal medicine, the scratched part of his body by wolf claws has begun to heal, but the bitten piece of meat on his left arm will take at least ten days to recover.

  In the past two days, Wang has entered the space several times, and transplanted the few three- to five-year-old sealworts to a corner of the space.

  After repeated attempts, I found that except for plants, other living things could not be brought into the space, not even a show.

   Moreover, the passage of time inside is really different from the outside. Use two sticks of incense to mark the scale and light them at the same time. The inside will burn out, and the outside will only burn a little bit of incense. It is estimated that the speed of time passing in the space should be 20 to 30 times that of the outside world.

   "It seems that we need to get some seeds to plant the ground as soon as possible. This day is equivalent to one month less. It's too wasteful."

   "Although it is dangerous to go into the mountains this time, the harvest is not small. There are more than ten stalks of Polygonatum, dozens of catties of kudzu root, and a wolf. I will sell it in the town later, and buy some seeds when I get money."

Wang Hong didn’t tell his younger brother about the matter of the space. First, the matter was too weird, and second, he didn’t dare to let others know. Once outsiders found out, Wang Hong was sure that someone would use a knife to split his head open to find the mysterious gem. . As for whether or not to find the mysterious gem from his head, that's out of the scope of consideration. First look for it, and then think of other ways if you can't find it. As for the death of a poor boy with no background and no strength, who would care?

   It's not that I don't trust my little brother, it's just that the best way to keep a secret is to keep it rotten in your stomach and never let anyone know about it. If: the younger brother knows, should the wife he marries in the future also know? And what about her natal parents and brothers? Everyone has someone close and trustworthy. In the end, it may become a well-known secret.
