Seeing that Gu Nianzhi did not answer, Sima Yao continued, "Can you take me to see your world?"

Gu Nianzhi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded gently, "Okay, but this world may be very different from what you are familiar with." There was a hint of worry in her voice, wondering if Sima Yao could adapt to this completely unfamiliar environment.

Gu Nianzhi stood up and slowly walked out of the basement with Sima Yao. Her steps were a little heavy, and each step seemed to carry past memories and emotions. The dim light in the basement gradually dimmed behind them until it was completely swallowed by darkness.

"This is my grandfather's former residence. He passed away a long time ago." Gu Nianzhi's voice sounded slowly, mixed with deep nostalgia and sadness. Her eyes were a little blurry, as if she saw the warm time she had spent with her grandfather through the scene in front of her. "When my grandfather was alive, this place was always full of laughter and joy, but now there is only silence."

There are a lot of props in that basement. I am actually the manager of a traditional drama, and I usually perform on stage in the role of a male. "Gu Nianzhi continued, with a hint of pride and determination in her eyes. "Every time I stand on the stage, I can feel my grandfather's expectations and encouragement for me. Those props have witnessed my countless rehearsals and performances, and they support my dreams. "

Gu Nianzhi pointed at some costumes nearby, her voice soft and full of emotion: "These are some of the costumes I have worn before. They are too old to wear on stage, but I can't bear to throw them away, so I moved them all to my grandfather's old house." She gently stroked the costumes, as if touching the past years. "This one with peony embroidery was worn when I played a cross-dressing role for the first time. I was so nervous that my palms were sweating, afraid of making any mistakes. And this one, the silk thread on it is a little worn, but every time I see it, I think of those days when I worked hard for my dream."

As he spoke, Gu Nianzhi led Sima Yao out of the door. The sun instantly shone on them, bringing a burst of warmth. However, Sima Yao's attention was completely attracted by Gu Nianzhi's red car. He widened his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief and curiosity.

"What is this? I have never seen it before." Sima Yao's voice was full of astonishment. He approached the car cautiously, stretched out his hand to touch it, but retracted his hand when he was about to touch it, as if he was worried that this strange object would suddenly attack him.

"This is my car. Here, most families have a car, and my car is very cheap. It can be bought for tens of thousands of yuan." Gu Nianzhi explained with a smile, her eyes revealing her understanding of Sima Yao's curiosity.

"Tens of thousands of dollars?" Sima Yao frowned, his face full of confusion. "What do these tens of thousands of dollars mean? I really don't understand. In my world, only gold, silver and treasures are the measure of value."

"We don't use silver or gold bars here, we use paper money." Gu Nianzhi said patiently, taking out a paper money from her bag and showing it to him. "This is paper money, different denominations represent different values."

When Gu Nianzhi came out of the house, she took the car key. She pressed the key, and the car lights flashed and made a beeping sound.

Sima Yao seemed startled. He took a step back and his face turned pale. He subconsciously stood in front of Gu Nianzhi, opened his hands in a defensive posture, and shouted, "Be careful!"

Gu Nianzhi was touched and sad. She gently pulled Sima Yao's sleeve and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's my car that made the noise."

Sima Yao then slowly lowered his hands, his chest rising and falling violently, and he obviously had not yet fully recovered from the shock. "This thing is very strange, and it made a sudden sound. I'm afraid it will be bad for you." There was a tremor in his voice.

Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook her head, her eyes full of tenderness: "It's okay, this is just a normal car warning sound, it's very safe. You don't need to be so nervous."

Gu Nianzhi walked to the car, stretched out his hand to open the door, with an excited smile on his face, and said: "This car runs faster than a Ferghana BMW, do you want to try it?"

"Okay." Sima Yao responded. He looked at the strange giant in front of him with curiosity, his eyes full of novelty and confusion. There were several seats in the car, arranged neatly, and a round object. He was full of curiosity and was about to go in to find out, but was stopped by Gu Nianzhi.

"This is the driver's seat. I should sit here. You sit next to me." Gu Nianzhi's voice was clear and firm. After that, she took Sima Yao to the passenger seat, opened the door gently, and motioned for him to sit in.

Then Gu Nianzhi sat in the driver's seat, took a deep breath, and turned the car key. The car shook twice and made a low muffled sound, but it did not start successfully as she wished. She frowned slightly and said helplessly: "My car is quite old, and it has been parked for so long that the battery may be exhausted."

"What is a battery?" Sima Yao looked confused, his deep eyes full of confusion about this unfamiliar word.

Gu Nianzhi turned his head and saw Sima Yao's confused expression, and couldn't help but smile. Perhaps it was because the two of them had temporarily left the world in the book, and Gu Nianzhi didn't have to worry about anything in the book, so he was much more relaxed and laughed a lot more easily. "You can think of it as the stomach of a Ferghana horse. If it doesn't eat for a long time, the horse will have no strength, and it can't stand up or run."

"Oh, you have been in Dasheng for half a year, and this iron horse has been hungry..." Sima Yao said thoughtfully, with a bit of sympathy in his tone.

"That's not wrong," Gu Nianzhi replied as she continued to try to start the car. She held the car key tightly in her hand and turned it again and again, with every attempt accompanied by full of expectations.

Time seemed to lengthen at this moment, and the air around them seemed to become more and more solemn. Sima Yao sat quietly in the passenger seat, staring closely at Gu Nianzhi's movements, and secretly cheering her on in his heart.

Gu Nianzhi's forehead gradually oozed fine beads of sweat. She bit her lips, her eyes revealing a stubbornness that refused to admit defeat. Finally, after countless attempts to start the car, the little red car finally held up. The engine roared, the car body trembled violently, and actually gave Gu Nianzhi a favor, and started successfully.

Gu Nianzhi excitedly patted the steering wheel, took a long breath, and said, "Great, it finally started!" Sima Yao also showed a relieved smile on his face.

Once the car starts successfully and the power is recharged, there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient battery power. Gu Nianzhi stepped on the accelerator and the car slowly drove forward.

The wind poured in through the car window, blowing their hair. Sima Yao felt the unprecedented speed and novel experience, and was filled with amazement. He looked at the scene outside the window, exclaiming: "This speed is really amazing, far beyond the reach of the Ferghana horse."

Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, "This is just a small part of modern technology. There are many more things that you may not expect."

The car sped along the road, and the trees and buildings on both sides quickly receded. Sima Yao curiously observed the various facilities in the car, and asked Gu Nianzhi about their uses from time to time. Gu Nianzhi patiently explained to him, and every answer made Sima Yao understand this strange world a little better.

Gu Nianzhi thought of her cell phone.

"Wait for me." As soon as she finished speaking, she got out of the car like a gust of wind. Her skirt fluttered with her hurried movements, and she hurried to the basement.

Gu Nianzhi got out of the car in a hurry, her heartbeat quickening because of her eagerness. The basement was filled with an old smell, dark and damp, and the corners were covered with spider webs. She didn't care about these things, and her eyes searched the ground anxiously, occasionally bumping into some debris under her feet, making a slight sound. "Where is it?" She murmured to herself, and beads of sweat gradually seeped out of her forehead. Finally, in a corner, she found a completely dead mobile phone, and the black body looked a little dull at the moment. She grabbed the phone as if she had found a treasure, a trace of joy on her face, and hurried back.

Back in the car, Gu Nianzhi was breathing heavily, with beads of sweat oozing out of her forehead. She didn't bother to wipe them off, and quickly plugged in her phone.

Gu Nianzhi hadn't driven a car for more than half a year, so he was inevitably a little unfamiliar with it.

"I'm going to start it. The car will move soon, don't be afraid." Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm. She turned to look at Sima Yao with a soothing look in her eyes.

Gu Nianzhi gave Sima Yao a heads-up in advance and then released the brakes.

The car started slowly, and the speed was very slow at first, like a child who had just woken up, stretching his body lazily. Gu Nianzhi turned the steering wheel skillfully, his hands trembling slightly, after all, he hadn't touched a car for a long time. The car slowly drove out of the yard along the mechanized farming road, and the wheels rolled over the stones on the ground, making a slight creaking sound.

The car alarm beeps.

Sima Yao looked around nervously, his eyes wide open, full of vigilance and anxiety. His body was tense, as if he was ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

"I forgot to remind you to fasten your seat belt." Gu Nianzhi said apologetically, and she slowly stopped the car, her voice gentle and steady. Then, she pulled the seat belt over and leaned over to fasten it for Sima Yao.

"Why do people have to be tied up to ride on an iron horse?" Sima Yao's voice was trembling and puzzled. His eyes were fixed on Gu Nianzhi's movements, and his hands unconsciously grasped the edge of the seat.

It could be seen that Sima Yao was a little nervous, so Gu Nianzhi smiled and comforted him: "This is just like my first time riding a horse, I will be scared after all. But don't worry, I have good driving skills, just like your riding skills, you can trust me." Her smile was warm and sincere, trying to ease Sima Yao's nervousness.

Gu Nianzhi hadn't driven for a long time, but when she sat in the driver's seat, the familiar feeling quickly returned.

The vehicle started again. This time, Gu Nianzhi used some force when stepping on the accelerator. The strong push on his back scared Sima Yao. His body suddenly leaned back and he looked at Gu Nianzhi for help, his eyes full of fear and anxiety.

"Don't be afraid." Gu Nianzhi comforted him, her voice firm and powerful. She focused her eyes on the road ahead and stepped on the accelerator a little harder. The car sped away like an arrow from a bow, and the wind poured in through the gaps in the car windows, ruffling their hair.

Sima Yao held the seat tightly, his face pale, his lips trembling slightly. Gu Nianzhi sensed his nervousness and said in a slow tone, "You will get used to it soon, believe me."

The car sped along the road, and the scenery on both sides quickly receded. Sima Yao's mood gradually calmed down from his initial panic, and he began to try to feel this unprecedented speed and power.

Familiar city expressway, familiar city.

Back in her own world, Gu Nianzhi's mood became much better. She looked at the scenes flashing outside the car window, her eyes full of ease and joy. It was already evening, the setting sun was on the edge of the mountain, emitting the last rays of light, the orange-red light outlined a beautiful golden edge on the edge of the city, and it would soon completely set.

Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath, as if she wanted to take in all the familiar atmosphere of the city. The glass curtain walls of the tall buildings in the distance reflected the light of the setting sun, dazzling and bright. On the streets, pedestrians were in a hurry, and vehicles were flowing. Everything seemed so orderly and full of vitality. She thought of the days in Qiangyi. The air seemed to be always filled with dust, and life was full of uncertainty and anxiety. But now, returning to this familiar place, the sense of peace and tranquility in her heart made her feel extremely satisfied.

Gu Nianzhi let out a long breath, saying goodbye to Qiangyi, where even the air seemed to have a rough feeling, and returned to the bustling city. Everything was so beautiful. Outside the car window, high-rise buildings were lined up one after another, neon lights were flashing colorful lights, people were walking hurriedly on the streets, and cars were flowing continuously. This familiar hustle and bustle made her feel extremely kind, as if every sound and every light and shadow were telling the warmth of home.

However, Sima Yao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had a completely different state of mind from Gu Nianzhi. His eyes were wide open, full of vigilance and uneasiness about the surrounding environment. Everything here was so unfamiliar. The sudden appearance of the car in front and the neon lights slowly appearing on the street made him feel insecure. His body was tense, and his hands tightly grasped the edge of the seat, as if this would give him a sense of security.

Sima Yao subconsciously leaned against the backrest, nervously watching everything around him. The roar of the speeding cars made his heart beat faster; the flashing lights on the roadside seemed like mysterious magic to him, making him feel at a loss. He tried to understand it all, but the harder he tried, the more confused and fearful he felt.
