Grandpa Meng thought of the gods from a thousand years later that his granddaughter had once mentioned, and dared not think further, for they were what he deeply feared.
Fu Daniu, the granddaughter feared by her grandfather, led the Nuannuan sisters to her small building.
The layout inside the small building was almost the same as the main house in front. In Fu Xinci's opinion, rooms only needed to be comfortable to live in, not overly ornate.
Also, as the weather was getting colder, Fu Xinci didn't plan to live upstairs.
Winter was so nice downstairs. The rooms had underfloor heating, and the blue brick floor was scrubbed clean, then a carpet could be laid down.
She could sit or lie down however she pleased, in comfort.
…
The Nuannuan sisters followed Fu Xinci into the small building, their eyes flickering as they saw the spacious main hall (living room) in the middle.
Fu Xinci first took the sisters to the west room. Her expression was not overly animated, as if treating ordinary family relatives. She said, "Everything here is ready. You sisters can stay here for now."
"This is not appropriate," Nuannuan said, looking at the bright glass windows and then at the young girl before her with some unease.
Her family also had servants who lived in the outer courtyards or the back rooms. Such bright and clean main rooms, especially the main rooms in a maiden's boudoir, were not for servants to live in. These rooms should be for the young ladies of the house.
Along the way, Nuannuan had heard the elder gentleman call the young girl, who was close to her age, Ci'er.
The slightly older young man called this girl Sister Fu.
She had initially thought the family's surname was Fu, but then she heard the young man call the elder gentleman Grandpa Meng, and she was bewildered.
How could a granddaughter of a Grandpa surnamed Meng also be surnamed Fu? Were they not family? Or not blood relatives?
Little Nuannuan was completely confused by the family's surnames. She had to suppress her doubts and patiently observe, waiting for an opportunity.
Fu Xinci, however, did not think as much. Regardless of what the sisters thought, after telling them to stay in the west room, she returned to the east room.
After closing the door, she flickered into her space.
On the side for planting, wheat, millet, and rice had been planted the day before and were already bent over by the weight of their heavy ears.
The sorghum, corn, soybeans, and peanuts planted a day later were also beginning to turn yellow.
"It's only been a week, and they're ready to harvest?" Fu Xinci could hardly believe her eyes and teleported over to see.
Up close, it was even more astonishing. The heavy ears of millet felt as if they would block her hands.
Suppressing her inner elation, she teleported to two more fields. Seeing that the wheat and rice were the same, she immediately threw all decorum aside and sat on the field ridge, laughing heartily.
There was no one around anyway, so even if she laughed until she was exhausted, no one would see her.
"Squeak squeak." Little Bai was here.
Fu Xinci was startled when Little Bai suddenly appeared before her. Only then did she remember that she had hidden Little Bai in her space to avoid the scarred man in town.
"Little Bai, hello!"
"Squeak squeak." Not good.
"Why not good?"
"Squeak squeak." Look. Little Bai extended its little paws, pointing to the other half of the space and whimpering aggrievedly, "I can't get over there."
Little Bai was also startled when it was first thrown in by humans. It spun around in confusion for a while before realizing it was a good place.
Not only were there fields here, but also a stream. When it wandered to the area where ginseng was planted, it was so happy that it couldn't get up from the ground.
Seeing that no one was around, it secretly plucked a small ginseng. It chose one that was squeezed among other ginsengs, as if about to be crushed.
Little Bai washed it by the stream and ate it with great satisfaction.
It was afraid of being discovered by humans, so it even ate the ginseng leaves. And indeed, it tasted much better than before.
Before, it wouldn't eat ginseng leaves.
It initially thought this was good enough, but as it walked, it discovered a shocking secret.
At that moment, Little Bai felt that its brain and eyes were not enough.
On that side, there were many good things, especially delicious food.
Little Bai was certain that those were delicious things.
Just as Little Bai was about to run over and feast, it realized it couldn't get to the other side.
It clawed with all its might but couldn't get over. It could see everything opposite, but when it tried to move forward, there was an insurmountable barrier before it, and it couldn't get past.
It couldn't see the barrier, but it could feel it.
"Squeak squeak." It struggled until it was dog-tired, and then the human arrived.
"No way." Fu Xinci didn't believe Little Bai. She often moved freely within the space and had never encountered any barrier like the one Little Bai described.
Seeing that the human didn't believe it, Little Bai was almost driven mad. "Squeak squeak." If you don't believe me, watch. I'll charge over again for you to see.
After speaking, Little Bai gathered its strength and charged towards the area where supplies were stored.
"Oof."
Fu Xinci truly saw Little Bai being bounced back.
"No way." Fu Xinci exclaimed in surprise, teleported over, and tentatively reached out to touch, but felt nothing.
Little Bai watched helplessly as its human went to the other side. It was so anxious that it scratched its ears and wriggled, but it couldn't get over.
"Squeak squeak." Little Bai was on the verge of tears from anxiety.
"Alright, don't cry. I'll see if I can bring you over." Fu Xinci said, then reached out and scooped Little Bai into her hands.
Then, Little Bai followed its human into the other side it had longed for.
"Squeak squeak." Little Bai joyfully jumped off its human's hand and rushed towards the neatly stacked snacks. "Whoa!"
Fu Xinci, watching Little Bai's ecstatic joy, also came to a conclusion.
Even if she brought people into the space, they couldn't move freely between the two merged spaces like she could.
To verify her idea, Fu Xinci asked Little Bai to return to the planting space.
Although Little Bai was reluctant, it had to bow its head under the human's roof.
When it rushed over with some dejection, it was bounced back again. Immediately, it "squeaked squeaked" and ran to its human, saying, "It's not that I don't want to go over, it's that this side is keeping me!"
Fu Xinci rolled her eyes at it, not wanting to discourage the pitiable Little Bai.
"Squeak squeak." I want to eat delicious food.
Looking at the potato chips Little Bai's little paws were pointing at, Fu Xinci repeatedly praised its good taste.
Since transmigrating here, she hadn't eaten potato chips yet.
"Squeak squeak." Is it delicious?
"Little Bai should like it," Fu Xinci said, tearing open a small bag of potato chips and handing it to Little Bai.
"Squeak..." And then Little Bai's voice could no longer be heard.
Fu Xinci returned to the planting space and began to worry. Where should the mature crops be placed after harvesting?
Should they be put in the warehouse? She was a little uncertain.
Where should they be placed?
