The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

"I came here to say hello to you and ask for a long vacation!" Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile.

"Ask for leave? Something happened in your family?" Jia Bing asked with a frown.

"No, no, it's just that I've been very busy recently and I want to take a break. And you saw what happened today. I'm afraid I can't handle it!"

Hearing what Zhao Dongchuan said, Jia Bing's expression relaxed.

"Just for this? So many people have begged you to come, but you are still trying to avoid it! Really..."

Jia Bing shook his head and cursed with a smile.

"But it is true that there are more people coming this time than before..."

Jia Bing paused, looked at Zhao Dongchuan, and said slowly: "However, there is nothing we can do about it. Since you have chosen this path and have made achievements, you will naturally be affected. Fame and fortune are a double-edged sword. While it brings honor and status, it will also bring more troubles!"

"I understand the logic, so I want to stay out of the spotlight for a while. Teacher Jia, please ask the curator for leave for me!" Zhao Dongchuan smiled slightly.

"You don't need to ask for leave. As cultural workers, we can't achieve results just by sitting in the office. What we need is divergent thinking and free thinking. I'll talk to the director later... Given your current situation, it's okay even if you don't come to the cultural center to work for half a year!"

Hearing this, Zhao Dongchuan felt delighted. It turned out that writers were treated well. It was worth the effort he put into writing the novel "Yellow Earth".

"That's great, thank you Teacher Jia!" Zhao Dongchuan smiled and bowed with both hands, performing an ancient ritual.

"Go away! Stop being sour on me!"

"Lao Jia, who is that?" Shufen's voice came from the inner room.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's this little monkey!" Jia Bing replied with a smile.

"It's Xiao Zhao, come in and have a seat, and have some tea!" Shufen greeted Xiao Zhao when she saw him when she came out.

"No, sister-in-law, I'm just coming over to say hello to Teacher Jia and will leave right away!" said Zhao Dongchuan.

After chatting with Jia Bing and his wife for a while, Zhao Dongchuan said goodbye and left. It was already four or five o'clock, and if he was any later he would miss the bus to Yuanxi County.

Zhao Dongchuan rode his bicycle at lightning speed towards the Dongguan Bus Station.

He was lucky enough that the last bus to Yuanxi County was still recruiting passengers, so he caught the last bus.

Buy your ticket and get on the bus!

As the car started, the noisy crowd, sitting or standing, crowded together and staggered towards Yuanxi County.

Because Zhao Dongchuan arrived late, he failed to grab a seat and could only stand inside the car, holding on to the seat frame beside him, his body swaying.

He didn't care. It was just a little less comfortable anyway. He simply closed his eyes, immersed his mind in the system space, and began to organize the items inside.

The various treasures in the system inventory are shining brightly.

[Item: 30 catties of rice (rich in nutrients, delicious!)]

Even though he was already very frugal, basically mixing it with other foods, it still couldn't keep up with his consumption, and the rice in the system was running out.

He was a little troubled by this. Before, he went to see the landlord, Mr. Huang, partly because he wanted to try to trigger some system tasks. By completing the tasks, he would get a treasure chest. He could also try to see if he could get system rice. The drop rate of system rice was quite high.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. After several attempts, even when Mr. Huang asked him to inquire about that "Sister Hua", no task was triggered. The system did not move at all, and no one knew what the triggering mechanism of this system was.

This is too random, there is no pattern at all.

Zhao Dongchuan was secretly complaining in his heart!

There was no way for the time being, so he stopped worrying about it and started looking at his latest treasure, the "Teleportation Bracelet"!

This is a treasure. It can teleport to a specific point. It is even more useful than any magic weapon. Most importantly, it is not only small and exquisite, but also highly concealed. It can also change its shape according to the owner's thoughts. It is truly invincible.

With it, he can set up several fixed transmission points and travel back and forth at will. With the system glasses, he can change his identity and live in another place.

Doing this will be very helpful for him to do things.

He originally wanted to set a coordinate in Huangyuan City, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find a suitable place for him to travel conveniently.

The dormitory wouldn't be a good place to set the coordinates, as he wouldn't be able to explain himself if someone saw him. The cultural center or the office wouldn't be a good place either. He naturally couldn't just set the coordinates at any random place.

He wanted to find a safe and secluded place for his convenience in entering and exiting, so Zhao Dongchuan was eager to buy a house.

Mr. Huang's house is in a very good location, has a good layout and area, and also has a back garden. Although it seems a bit expensive, he has more money than he can spend now, so it doesn't matter whether it's more expensive or cheaper. If he misses this house, he doesn't know how long it will take for him to find a suitable one next time.

As for Mr. Huang's strange request, Zhao Dongchuan didn't take it to heart. If he had the chance to go to Shanghai, he would naturally inquire about it, but he didn't know how long that would be, and there was no requirement for him to find useful information.

This time when he returns to Yuanxi County, he can also ask if there are any similar suitable houses for sale. If he happens to come across one, he can set a coordinate to facilitate his travel.

No need to spend time sitting in a car and squeeze with people every time!

Smelling the various unique smells coming from the surroundings, this idea in Zhao Dongchuan's mind became stronger and stronger.

As time passed, Zhao Dongchuan looked at the system space, sorted out the items in the storage ring space, then calmed down and practiced "Introduction to Qi Refining".

Then Zhao Dongchuan gradually got into the state, the concept of time slowly faded away, his body swayed with the movement of the car, but his heart calmed down, feeling the mysterious, the breath in his lower abdomen became stronger and stronger!

…………

With a "squeak", the sound of a car braking was heard!

"We've arrived at the station, we've arrived at Yuanxi County. Comrades who are getting off in Yuanxi County, please hurry up!" The ticket seller waved the red flag in his hand and announced the station loudly.

Zhao Dongchuan opened his eyes and came out of his cultivation state.

He stretched his body, followed the crowd, and got off the car!

Yuanxi County, I, Zhao Dongchuan, am back again! Looking at the familiar hills and roads, Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.

Although he hadn't been here for only a few months, he felt like he hadn't been back for a long time. "A day without seeing you feels like three years." The ancients were right!

Zhao Dongchuan unloaded the bicycle from the back of the car and drove towards the county with a happy mood!

At this time, it was already the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the wind was so cold that Zhao Dongchuan felt that his bicycle was almost frozen.

Fortunately, he was in good health and was not afraid of the cold. However, in order not to attract attention, he took out a pair of gloves from his bag and put them on.

"Gee!!!" Zhao Dongchuan was riding a bicycle, imagining that he was riding a horse, galloping in the cold wind, and couldn't help shouting.
