The casual life of the flat space

Seeing Bai Tiexiong shaking his head like a rattle, Bai Tieying smiled and continued, "Originally, I haven't decided whether to tell you or when, but these books are really important to me, and what I just said to Grandpa Wu was not false.

If I can let more people read these books, I am willing to devote all my energy to it. I am not doing this out of impulse or greed, but I am sure that I can do it and am willing to take it as my life's pursuit.

Although my sister didn't tell Uncle and Grandpa Wu what her magic power was, they guessed it themselves. My sister thought they were all honest and trustworthy people, and since they didn't ask, she wouldn't tell anyone else.

I have just made up my mind to confess to Grandpa Wu, so I will tell you about this today. But you must know that this concerns our lives, and you must not tell anyone else, understand?"

As if he wanted to think things through in his mind, Bai Tiexiong didn't speak for a long time, just staring at his sister. Bai Tieying also felt uneasy when she saw this, so she didn't speak either, waiting for his answer.

"Sister, what you just said means something like what mother said, 'If you have something delicious and don't want to share it with others, you should eat it secretly by yourself, and don't eat it in front of others without giving it to them', right?"

"Well, what you said, oh, mom is right!" Bai Tieying thought to herself: "Okay, I've been talking a lot, but I haven't said this sentence clearly yet!"

"What do you think about my sister's magical powers..."

"Sister, my parents have always said that you are smarter than me. I am a little scared looking at all these books, but you are thinking about that...all your strength, so my parents must have let you do it because they think you are smarter than me!

I am not angry with my parents, nor with my sister. I... I just want to see my parents again... But I just want to see them, not to ask for things. Sister... Can you not go to see your parents in the future? It doesn't matter if you don't have magic power. When I grow up, I will raise you and I will definitely not let you starve! I... don't want you to lie there motionless anymore."

"Oh, you little potato, how can you be so cute!" Bai Tieying hugged her brother tightly...

"Sister, sister, you're going to strangle me to death! I'm not a little potato, I'm a white iron bear! Sister, what on earth is a little potato?"

"Little potatoes are just so delicious and tasty."

"Then when we get back, can you do it for me?"

"Well, let me think about how to make you a small potato without small potatoes! Okay, let's eat quickly, and then work harder to move all these books and leave here as soon as possible."

"Why, sis?"

"Hey, why so many whys? Just eat quickly!"

It took the two sisters more than an hour to collect the remaining books. Bai Tiexiong was so tired that he sat down on the ground. It looked simple, but it was unbearable to do the repetitive movements too much. Besides, he had been walking for most of the day! Bai Tieying also felt that her waist could not stand up straight.

Bai Tieying asked her brother to take a sip of water and rest for a while. She calculated in her mind: There are a total of 24 rows of boxes here, with 36 columns in each row, so the two sisters opened and closed the boxes more than 800 times each! Oh! If there was no such mechanism, she would have collected them in just a few minutes.

But when she multiplied the number of books in each box, the pain in her waist seemed to be instantly cured. More than 200,000 books! Could she finish reading them in her lifetime?

If reading ten thousand books means traveling ten thousand miles, then wouldn't I be able to circle the planet five or six times after reading it? When Bai Tieying thought that he could be more powerful than that drink, he wanted to put his hands on his hips again.

"I don't know what time it is now?" Bai Tieying thought and looked up at the sky out of habit, only to find that there were only three of the dozens of fire lines above his head. What happened? Was he out of breath?

Bai Tieying suddenly thought of something and looked carefully at the cave ceiling structure in the space... "Oh my! The person who designed this thing is really a genius! Isn't this a 24-hour system? I miss the days when I knew what time it was..."

"Let's go, Tiexiong, go back to sleep! Experts say you won't grow taller if you don't sleep!"

"Who is the expert? Are you an expert?"

"You are the expert! You... Yes, I am the expert, and I am here to let you know what domestic violence is! Look how far I will go!"

The two sisters dragged their heavy feet back to the small stone courtyard and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Grandpa Wu woke up first. After he finished making porridge and went out for a while, the two sisters woke up slowly. Bai Tieying got up and saw that the meal was ready. She apologized to Grandpa Wu embarrassedly. Grandpa Wu waved his hand to indicate that it was okay and asked them to clean up and eat quickly.

After the three of them finished their meal, Grandpa Wu asked the two sisters if they wanted to go to other courtyards. Bai Tieying quickly nodded and said yes. Grandpa Wu then said he would give them an hour and let them take whatever they liked, and then he would go back.

The two sisters' eyes were truly opened in the following hour. They did not touch any of the famous paintings, bronze and stone artifacts, and only opened and read the ones they could understand - as expected, glittering things make people happy!

On the way back, Bai Tieying suddenly became curious about what was inside these boxes, so he opened one to see what was inside. It turned out that there were weapons inside! If all the boxes were filled with weapons... Bai Tieying was so scared that he quickly closed the box, but he didn't expect Bai Tiexiong to start making a fuss:

"Sister, sister, let me look at you for a while longer! Didn't I wait for you when you saw that big-headed flower just now?"

"What big-headed flower! That's... forget it, just look, just look!" The boy was just interested in these knives and guns, and thinking that they would never come again in the future, Bai Tieying let his brother enjoy them.

She touched these boxes that made her want to drool, thinking it was a pity. She didn't know how to work the mechanisms inside, nor did she dare to work them. Otherwise, she could take one of the boxes away as a souvenir! It wasn't that she bought the casket and returned the pearl. It was just a little hobby she brought from her original life for boxes, boxes, and beautiful paper bags.

When Grandpa Wu saw the two sisters coming back empty-handed, he casually asked if they had anything they liked. When he learned that the two sisters were just looking and didn't take anything, he liked Bai Tieying even more.

He went to the Hongwen Academy in the morning and opened several boxes, all of which were empty. Naturally, he was sure that the secrets of this little girl were no less than those here. But he didn't believe that she could take away so many books without having room to put some smaller and more valuable things.

He had kept this secret for his whole life, and thought that it would be lost when he left, and the most regrettable thing was the books. He did not expect to meet such a talented brother and sister in his later years, who gave him surprises time and time again, so he decided to test them one last time.
