Shen Shi'an told Yun Feiyang that he only suffered a little skin trauma in the car accident, which is actually not quite right.
The place where the car accident happened was at an intersection on the outskirts of City H. It was cloudy and raining lightly, and the vision became dizzy and blurred. Shen Shi'an didn't notice anything unusual before the big truck full of coal and dirt rushed out.
He drives a small car, a graduation gift given to him by his grandfather after the college entrance examination. The main promotional point of the manufacturer is that it is light and dexterous and suitable for beginners. Therefore, under the rapid impact of a heavy truck running through a red light, it almost looks like a The flimsy matchbox was thrown into the muddy puddle by the side of the road in an instant.
When he rolled in the air for a few weeks and landed again, Shen Shi'an, who was tied to the driver's seat by his seat belt, could clearly feel that three of his ribs were broken. After filling his chest, the blood scrambled out from his mouth, nose and wound, and soon soaked his clothes.
He thought he was going to die. With the co-pilot completely crushed by the impact and completely incapacitated, he really couldn't think of any possibility of surviving.
But he didn't die.
In the darkness before dying, the blood-soaked prayer beads shone brilliantly, and the pain of burning his right wrist almost surpassed the choking pain of the lung lobe being submerged in blood. When his vision became clear again, he came to his place. where time stands—
In front of you is a quiet space with an area about the size of a football field. The environment is not complicated, the most conspicuous is a three-story, antique bamboo building, a piece of bamboo is planted behind the building, and two trees grow in front of the building, one is a peach tree, and the other is unknown to him.
In front of the two trees is an open space, surrounded by a sparkling stream, and at the source of the stream is a spring with a slightly higher terrain, and below the spring is a pool of gurgling spring water. , a Lingquan with a diameter of about three meters and steaming mist.
It was this Wang Lingquan who saved his life.
After the car accident, just as the pain of being scorched by a branding iron appeared on his right wrist, he was "absorbed" into this place by the Buddhist beads and placed in the spiritual spring. He studied clinical medicine, but no medical theory could explain the changes in him:
It was as if countless warm currents poured into his body from the spring water, soothing, repairing, and healing the wounds on his body surface and inside. The almost maddening pain caused by the car accident quickly subsided, the broken ribs grew back, and he was injured. The pierced skin and flesh quickly healed, and the blood in the chest was discharged from the pores in a wonderful way...
The warm spiritual spring is like a mother's womb, continuously providing him with all the substances needed for life.
He didn't know how long he had soaked in the spiritual spring. When the space "vomited" him out again, he was still tied by the seat belt in the overturned car. A dark blue tattoo grew on the skin, and the siren of an ambulance sounded faintly in the distance.
The ambulance took him to the hospital. The doctor examined him. The main trauma was the outer skin abrasion and soft tissue contusion caused by the impact. When Mr. Gu got the news and rushed to the hospital, the director of the surgery department personally supervised him. I did a check up to the feet, and the results were still the same—
The most serious wound on his body was the deep and shallow scratches caused by broken glass. Because several veins were cut, the bleeding was relatively large. It looked a little scary, but it was actually a skin trauma, and the scabs would heal within two days. , other than the slightest concussion. If it wasn't for Mr. Gu's insistence, he wouldn't need to be hospitalized for half a month at all.
The truck driver who caused the accident fled the scene before the ambulance arrived. After investigation, the police found that he was a temporary worker hired by a mine site. The identity information, contact information, and home address on the work contract were all fake. Still at large with no news.
Only Shen Shi'an knew what mysterious and wonderful things happened in the bloody driver's seat of the car in that tragic car accident on that rainy early winter afternoon.
The temperature in the space seemed to be kept at around 20 degrees Celsius, so even with a towel around his waist, he didn't feel cold at all.
The surrounding area is very quiet, only the gurgling sound of the water flowing in the spring. Shen Shi'an leaned against the wall of the Lingquan pool, the warm spring water surrounded him from the chest down, looking up at the snow-blue "sky" at the top of the space.
After the initial shock and disbelief faded, all that was left was doubt:
What kind of existence is this space? Who created this space? What kind of origin and connection do you have with the Shen family? Besides him, does anyone else know the secret of the Buddha beads
…
There is no end to the similar or completely different questions one after another, but it is obvious that there is no way to answer any of them just sitting here and soaking in the hot springs.
Shen Shi'an lowered his head and splashed water on his face. You have already died once, and if you come, you will be safe, and it is useless to think about it.
About half an hour later, feeling the full energy and strength in his body, Shen Shian jumped up from the spring water with one hand, wiped off the water droplets on his head and body with a bath towel, wrapped it around his waist again, and walked along A grassy path leads to the bamboo building.
The feeling of the green grass being trampled under the feet is very wonderful, the slight tingling is accompanied by dense itching, and the land next to it is soft and fluffy, and it is fertile black under the sky light.
Shen Shi'an looked at the flat open space surrounded by streams, thinking whether he should plant something, or it would be too wasteful.
But what to plant
Not only did he have no experience in planting, but in a modern city where it is extremely convenient to buy any vegetables and fruits, it seemed unnecessary to go digging soil and farming in the space.
While thinking, he walked around the two thick trees in front of the building, and stepped on the steps outside the corridor. Shen Shian stopped at the door, picked up the neatly folded towel on the bamboo stool and wiped his feet, then put on a pair of cotton slippers next to the stool—
These two things were bought by his bodyguard Fan Guoping during his hospitalization, and then brought in when he was testing the laws of space: as long as the objects in direct contact with his body can enter the space with him.
The space on the first floor of the bamboo building is not large, there are only four rooms in total, the living room is in the center, and the study is on the right side of the living room.
The furnishings in the study were simple and elegant. Shen Shi'an opened the door and walked in, walked over the desk complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and walked straight to a pair of bookshelves opposite the desk.
The bookshelf is very large, as high as the entire wall, but there is only one book on the entire bookshelf. Shen Shi'an walked over and picked up the book from the bookshelf, and the four big characters on the simple cover came into view again:
Return to the ruins technique.
Shen Shi'an has turned this book back and forth many times, and he can feel that this book and Lingquan spring should be the two most important things in this space. If he can grasp the content of the book, he should be able to understand Space has a deeper understanding.
It's a pity that the vast majority of the books are in traditional Chinese characters, the second is the difficulty of recognition, the most important thing is that the words and sentences are difficult to understand, and the word order is chaotic. You know every word, but it doesn't make any sense to connect them together. For Shen As far as Shi'an is concerned, it is no different from Tianshu.
Reluctantly flipping through two pages patiently, he found that he was still confused and made no progress like the previous few times. Shen Shi'an could only put the book back and returned to the living room on the first floor.
The innermost part of the living room is the wooden staircase connecting to the second floor. Shen Shi'an walked up the stairs, and when the stairs reached a half-turn, he was blocked by an invisible barrier as expected.
Sure enough, he still can't go up. There are still too many things he can't understand about this space.
Walking out of the bamboo building, Shen Shi'an once again focused on the tattoo on his wrist, and appeared in the bathroom as soon as his mind moved.
The steam from the shower had dissipated, and his figure was clearly reflected in the mirror. The time flow rate in the space is different from that in the real world, about two to one, that is to say, if you stay in the space for two hours, only one hour passes in the real world.
It seems to be a good choice for cramming before the exam.
Shen Shi'an untied the bath towel, put on clean underwear, and then put on the home clothes with pink and white checks. The light colors neutralized his cold temperament, and even weakened the aggressiveness brought about by his delicate appearance. Showing a softness similar to that of mother.
With Yun Feiyang's help, the house has been completely cleaned up, but no one has lived in it for more than half a month, and there is still a lot to clean up. The quilt core and pillows were carried to the balcony to expose to the sun, the changed sheets and bed covers were stuffed into the washing machine, the fruit supplements brought back from the hospital were put in the refrigerator and tidied up, Shen Shi'an carried a small watering can, walked around the sweeping robot that was circling back and forth to Water the green plants on the balcony.
The green plants were all planted by grandma and grandpa. When grandma was still alive, the whole balcony was arranged like a small three-dimensional garden. From common vegetables such as pumpkins and peppers to various vines and flowers, it was very colorful and lively, and it was full of vitality all year round. exuberant. After grandma passed away, a lot of vegetables and flowers withered, but grandpa turned around and took care of it carefully, and it was lush and lush.
Until his grandfather passed away, Shen Shi'an didn't know what to do with the plants on the balcony.
He tried to take care of it according to the planting manual and the habits of various plants that he found on the Internet, but the plants that had enjoyed careful care seemed to be more fragile than human life. No matter how hard he tried, one or two plants died and withered every day.
Later, he gave most of the surviving plants to the neighbors upstairs and downstairs who like to take care of flowers and plants, and a small half may have been kept out of the mentality of "wanting to prove my gardening ability". Up to now, there are only one left. A pot of cactus, a pot of aloe and a bush of green dill are still lingering in his hands.
But no one watered it for half a month, and the wet aloe and pothos didn't seem to be able to breathe for a long time.
Squeezing the wilted leaves of the aloe that had shrunk by half with his fingers, Shen Shi'an subconsciously frowned, thought for a while, and disappeared from the spot in a flash, and when he reappeared, the watering can had been replaced with spiritual spring water.
Lingquan can heal wounds, so it should also nourish plants, right
Shen Shi'an is not particularly sure. After all, the nutrition needed by the human body is completely different from that of plants, but right now, he can only try it out as a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but after pouring the spiritual spring water, the wilting condition of the aloe vera and the green radish seems to have improved a lot at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The cactus was only watered before being hospitalized, so it should not be used for the time being. Shen Shi'an stared at the spikes for a while, then stretched out his hand to hold the flower pot where the cactus was planted, and with a thought, the cactus disappeared into his palm together with the flower pot.
It seems that not only "dead objects" such as slippers and towels can be transferred, but also plant life such as cactus can be brought into the space. I don't know if animals are allowed
Shen Shi'an was a little satisfied to have mastered another law about space. After looking at the sky, I decided to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities before the sun went down.
My grandfather was a teacher at the Medical University of H City before his death, and he was a colleague of many residents in the community. These colleagues also knew Shen Shi'an and took care of him more or less after his death, so the journey from home to the entrance of the community In the process, he had to stop several times to say hello to the other party.
The school can't hide the news. Many people have heard about Shen Shi'an's car accident. In addition, he has a code of conduct of "doing good deeds every day", often helping the elderly to carry things and press the elevator. He is very popular. He always wants to inquire carefully about his health and well-being.
In the face of these grandparents, Shen Shi'an has always restrained his indifference and tried to slow down his expression and tone. The thick eyelashes hang half down, looking cute, cute and beautiful, making people reluctant to let go once they hold on to it.
The two bodyguards are very dutiful and far behind. Both of them have a professional military training background. Both eyesight and observation are much sharper than ordinary people, and the two shadows in the distance are not difficult for him to spot.
Fortunately, they didn't follow closely, Shen Shi'an thought, or else two bodyguards suddenly appeared beside him, these grandparents would probably have to ask more questions.
After finally walking out of the gate of the community, Shen Shi'an heaved a long sigh of relief, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden, his brows returned to alienation and coldness, and even his steps became much lighter.
The supermarket is not far from the community, just walk a few tens of meters across the road. Shen Shi'an bought some fresh ingredients, picked out a few bottles of fresh milk and juice, took some snacks, and replenished bath and toiletries. When he was about to check out, he thought about it, pushed the shopping cart to the agricultural product area, and found it after a long time. Find a few packets of vegetable seeds at the bottom of the shelf.
After all, it is not a specialized crop seed base station, and the types of vegetable seeds in the supermarket are limited. Shen Shian took a pack of tomatoes and a pack of melons, and when he walked back to the community with the paper bags in his arms, he was still thinking about where in the space it would be more appropriate to plant them.
I was so engrossed in thinking that I stumbled over the steps and staggered forward to stabilize myself in time, but a bag of luncheon meat fell out of the bag and rolled away.
Before Shen Shi'an could pick it up after a few steps, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the bushes, grabbed the luncheon meat in one bite, turned around and lowered his two front legs towards Shen Shi'an, the hair all over his body exploded, and the hair came out from his throat. Threatening growl: "Aww!"
Super fierce.
Shen Shi'an stopped. Looking at the dirty puppy, which is not as big as his foot, he narrowed his eyes, pointed at the luncheon meat in its mouth and said coldly: "Mine."
"Aww!!" It became even more fierce.
Shen Shi'an, who has no interest in pets at all, feels that he has been provoked.
The property environment in the community is very good. He has lived in it for several years and has never seen a stray cat or dog. Where did it come from? It’s so small, it looks like it’s only two or three months old at most, was it lost in another resident’s house, or was it accidentally bumped in after being abandoned by a bitch
No matter what, it's always wrong to grab his luncheon meat.
He put the paper bag aside, squatted down, and quickly grabbed the nape of the puppy's neck before it attacked—thanks to Lingquan, his reaction speed has also improved a lot. The puppy was very light, and it was only when I carried it closer that I realized it was a little male dog. At the same time, the sour smell that hadn't been bathed for a long time became more and more obvious.
Shen Shi'an frowned, and took the dog away with some disgust.
The nape of the neck was held in the hand, and the animal instinct made the puppy stiff, but he was not willing to be controlled by others, so he rolled his eyes and stuck his neck, his limbs thumped back and forth stiffly, trying to break free from Shen Shi'an's grasp—it looked like It's a silly dog with neurodevelopmental dysplasia.
Even so, it didn't spit out the luncheon meat in its mouth.
Shen Shi'an and it looked at each other for a while, unmoved by the other's fierce eyes and endless threats.
Remembering that Yun Feiyang persuaded him to get a dog before, and he was not particularly satisfied with today's "doing good every day", he hesitated for a while, and shook the little thing in his hand twice like a dried plum:
"...how about coming home with me?"
