After entering the sophomore year, time flies very fast, and it is the end of the term in a blink of an eye.
When Ji Xiaoou finished the last professional course and came out of the classroom, he received a call from Lu Qichang's father.
Ji Xiaoou's parents retired half a month ago and planned to travel to Europe for half a year. They got their visa a week ago and flew to Finland the next day.
Before leaving, I specially asked my old friend to take care of my daughter.
It's a holiday today, after Lu's father picked up Lu Qichang, he came to pick up Ji Xiaoou.
Lu Qichang and Ji Xiaoou went to university in the same city, but Lu Qichang was in the south of the city, Ji Xiaoou was in the north of the city, the two schools were a little far away.
After Ji Xiaoou hung up the phone, he was ashamed to keep Father Lu waiting so long, returned to the dormitory, quickly packed his luggage, and came to the school gate.
After getting into the car, Ji Xiaoou said to Lu Qichang's father, "Thank you Uncle, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Lu's father smiled and said, "Why are you being polite. Your parents are not around. Today is just a holiday, and there are many people and vehicles on the road. If you let you go home alone, uncle will not be at ease."
Ji Xiaoou followed suit with a smile.
T University is about two hours' drive from S City, and when the car arrived downstairs at Ji Xiaoou's house, it was already dark.
Father Lu got out of the car and helped Ji Xiaoou with his luggage, and asked, "Why don't you come to our house for dinner today?"
Ji Xiaoou shook his head and refused politely: "My parents handed Gungun to the pet center before they left, and I have to pick it up right now. Uncle Lu, you guys go home first, I'll be back later Just do something yourself."
Father Lu wanted to invite again, but when Ji Xiaoou insisted, he compromised, told Ji Xiaoou to pay attention to safety on the road, and then drove away.
After Ji Xiaoou put the salute home, he took the key and went out again.
Picking up sex is only one of the reasons, she has another purpose for going out.
Ji Xiaoou came to a large shopping mall nearby, took some bread and milk for tomorrow's breakfast, and then went straight to the daily necessities area.
Ji Xiaoou pushed the shopping cart, shuttling between the shelves, paper towels, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, sanitary pads... almost everything.
After finally walking out of the daily necessities area and arriving at the non-staple food area, Ji Xiaoou asked the specialized staff and bought some seeds of mung beans, soybeans, peanuts and other crops.
Then I remembered something, returned to the place where the milk was sold, and moved several boxes of milk to the shopping cart.
…
When Ji Xiaoou stood in front of the cashier, the cashier looked at the two shopping carts full of things in front of her, and asked hesitantly, "Are these all your things?"
Ji Xiaoou touched his cheek and nodded, "Well, it's all mine."
After paying the bill, Ji Xiaoou counted seven or eight shopping bags in total, not counting the cartons of milk.
Fortunately, Ji Xiaoou came here by car, otherwise, even if she had space, she wouldn't be able to use it in front of so many people, and I really don't know how to take it back.
On the way back, Ji Xiaoou stopped by the pet center to pick up Gun Gun.
Gun Gun hasn't seen her for a semester, and whenever he sees her, he throws himself on her.
Ji Xiaoou just got the driver's license, the steering wheel is in his hand, and he dare not play with it at all, "Go away, sit down."
Gun Gun uttered "meow" twice, and reluctantly lay down on the cushion.
It was half past ten when we got home, Ji Xiaoou put all the things he bought into the space, and then he had time to take a shower.
After taking a shower, he ate something, and Ji Xiaoou went back to his room to rest.
On the second and third days, Ji Xiaoou basically went out to shop.
First went to the clothing market, then went to the hardware market, and the grain and oil market... In short, Ji Xiaoou went to all the places he could think of.
Coming back from these places, Ji Xiaoou spent almost nothing left of the pocket money, scholarships and tutoring wages he had saved in the past few years.
At noon on the fourth day, Ji Xiaoou made a video call with his parents.
It was morning in Finland, and Ji's father and mother had just woken up, standing on the balcony, with the yellow house and red tiles shaded by green trees behind them.
"Father, mother." Ji Xiaoou greeted them.
Mother Ji smiled and said, "Ninny, what have you been up to these days? Why are you free to talk to Mom and Dad today?"
Ji Xiaoou pursed the corners of his lips, "The school club activities are not over yet, it just ended this morning."
"What kind of member, there are still activities during the holiday?"
Ji Xiaoou is not lying, "Social Practice Society."
Ji's mother was a little worried, "Although club activities are good, don't tire yourself too much, relax properly, and go out to play more during the holidays."
Ji Xiaoou said yes, and took this opportunity to mention to Ji's father and mother, "Mom, I signed up for an activity organized by the school. It will take about two months to go to a poor area to support education. I heard that the place is very remote. The signal is also not good, I probably won’t be able to contact you often after I go, if you miss me, you can give me a voice message, I will reply when I see it.”
Mother Ji paused and asked, "Where is it?"
Ji Xiaoou mentioned a place name.
Ji's mother and Ji's father at the other end of the video looked at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.
Since Ji Xiaoou disappeared in high school for half a year, Ji's father and mother were instinctively worried about these remote places.
However, when the daughter grows up, she cannot always be restrained under their wings.
Mother Ji struggled for a long time, and finally compromised: "Then... you take good care of yourself, pay attention to safety, and remember to report to us regularly."
Ji Xiaoou nodded, "Yes."
Then Ji Xiaoou talked with his parents again, mostly listening to the two of them talk about what they had seen and heard in the past few days.
Ji Xiaoou held his cheeks and listened with gusto.
One second before hanging up the video, Ji Xiaoou suddenly called out: "Mom."
Ji's mother said, "Ninny, is there anything else?"
Ji Xiaoou was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "Mom, I will miss you."
Mother Ji said: "Mom will miss you too."
In the early morning of the next day, Ji Xiaoou woke up early, and took Gun Gun, who had just been brought home two days ago, to foster care at a good friend's house.
Gun Gun was abandoned again, probably out of anger, Ji Xiaoou hid under the sofa when he left, and refused to even see her off.
Ji Xiaoou scratched Gun Gun's chin, "Hey, Gun Gun, I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."
Gun Gun just "meowed" and licked her palm perfunctorily.
Ji Xiaoou left his friend's house, wandered around the city center for a while, and then drove to the suburbs.
Ji Xiaoou was not familiar with driving skills, so he didn't drive fast. After three hours of wandering, he came to the bottom of a cliff.
This cliff was the place where Ji Xiaoou's class organized a camping trip and she fell off the bus.
— It is also the place where Ji Xiaoou came back from that world.
Ji Xiaoou walked forward for a while, she was not familiar with this place, the only memory she had was the last time she had a high fever and came back from that world before she fell into a coma.
Groping forward based on memory, after about an hour, Ji Xiaoou stopped in front of a leafy oak tree.
The trunk is thick and twisted, and it is very old at first glance.
However, it wasn't this that attracted Ji Xiaoou.
It is a few numbers engraved on its trunk - "1002".
This is the date that Ji Xiaoou engraved when he first arrived in that world. She clearly remembered that when she lost her way in the forest, she used this method to mark it.
The handwriting and shape are consistent, and it has been three years, but it is still as clear as when it was first engraved three years ago.
When Ji Xiaoou saw this string of numbers, he was extremely shocked.
Why is this tree here
Did he cross over like her, or... was it originally a channel connecting the two worlds
Ji Xiaoou has been desperately looking for a way to get back, never thinking that this "method" is so close to her.
In the next three years, Ji Xiaoou thought a lot.
If the tree is just a channel connecting the two worlds, wouldn't many people be able to travel between the two worlds
So Ji Xiaoou guessed that all this might have something to do with her space.
Trees, space, and special opportunities, the combination of the three makes it possible to travel.
As for what the opportunity is... Ji Xiaoou is too sure now, he needs to try it out.
Ji Xiaoou stretched out his hand, placed his fingers lightly on the tree trunk engraved with the number "1002", and slowly closed his eyes.
After a while, Ji Xiaoou felt that the flow of air around her gradually became faster, as if she was in a river, washing her and drifting forward continuously.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar force attracted her, and before she could react, it suddenly dragged her into another world.
…
Ji Xiaoou opened his eyes again. In front of him were towering ancient trees, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. It was a strange yet familiar primordial continent.
She turned her head, and the big tree engraved with "1002" stood behind her, as if it was no different from other trees.
... She just came back
Ji Xiaoou was a little perplexed, even if she was killed three years ago, she would never have imagined that she would return to this place on her own initiative three years later.
Ji Xiaoou walked along the original route for a while. Before coming this time, she specially changed into light running shoes and walked out of the forest very quickly.
Across a stream, and a short walk to the north, is the Kamuda Valley.
However, Ji Xiaoou didn't go that way.
She came back this time not to reunite with Ren.
When he left her so decisively, and had such an ugly fight with Ren, Ren certainly didn't want to see her again.
And since we haven't seen each other for three years, who knows if Rennes will have a new female
So she just wanted to know how he was doing and hearing about him was enough.
Ji Xiaoou walked in another direction. If I remember correctly, it should be the place where herbivorous species settled.
However, just a few steps away, there was a slight movement behind him, followed by an incredible voice—
"Ou??"
Ji Xiaoou was startled, and turned around following the sound.
Eric stood a few steps away, with more complicated and stronger antlers than before, and his figure was much taller and stronger. When he saw Ji Xiaoou's face, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise: "Ou, that's great!" Yes, you are still alive!"
