Traveling through 1942 with space

"Great! I just don't know if this spring water has the same effect as other golden fingers in cleansing the marrow and strengthening the bones. If it does, it would be perfect."

Hou Xiaoge, who had drunk a lot of wine, lay lazily in the spiritual field, imagining himself cleansing his meridians and marrow to become a martial arts master.

Perhaps due to the nourishment of the spring water, Hou Xiaoge fell asleep in the spiritual field in a daze. At the same time, the feeling of soul incompatibility caused by the time travel was slowly disappearing.

I don’t know how long I slept, but when Hou Xiaoge opened his eyes, he felt refreshed.

A kite jumped up from the spiritual field, grunting and waving its fists and feet around, awakening the sleeping body.

"It's still good to be young. I can just lie down and fall asleep. This sleep was so comfortable. The tiredness after waking up due to snoring in my previous life never appeared again." After stretching his muscles, Hou Xiaoge felt full of energy.

"Ouch! I can't hold it anymore."

Just after finishing punching, Hou Xiaoge felt his back door loosen, and he quickly found a corner and dug with his hands to start releasing it.

After a crackling sound, I finally felt relieved after all the garbage in my body was discharged.

"Ugh!"

"I'm hungry again after taking a dump. Humans are really feces-producing machines." Hou Xiaoge felt helpless when his stomach growled again just after he finished using the toilet.

Without food, I can only drink water. After all, spiritual spring water still has some energy and drinking it is good for the body.

Hou Xiaoge picked up the bowl and drank three big bowls in a row.

After drinking it, Hou Xiaoge felt the warm feeling in his stomach again and he became much more energetic.

After taking it twice, Hou Xiaoge was finally able to confirm that this spiritual spring water did have a nourishing effect on the body.

However, the effect is not very great, and it does not have the legendary miraculous effect of cleansing the tendons and marrow. I guess it will take long-term use to have obvious effects!

Of course, it may also be that the energy in the current planting space is insufficient, and the efficacy may increase after replenishment.

After walking around the empty planting space for another round, the novelty wore off, and Hou Xiaoge prepared to go out and learn more about the specific environment his body was in.

Hou Xiaoge looked at his body with disdain, which was enough to rub half a basin of balls with legs stretched out and eyes wide open, and did not wash it.

After all, we don’t know what the situation is like outside. This color is still a protective color for Hou Xiaoge now, so it’s better not to remove it.

After using his mental power to check, he found that Xiao Shuanniu was still sleeping. He then tried out the new function of the ring and teleported directly to the yard.

Yesterday, Hou Xiaoge learned from the information transmitted by the ring that the planting space is now one acre in size, and the spatial capacity can cover 25 meters. As long as one enters the ring, the outside world within a 25-meter radius can appear at will.

However, this function consumes a lot of energy and can only be used twice a day. Any more than that may cause the space to collapse.

It is best to control it within Hou Xiaoge's mental perception range, within five meters, so as to minimize energy loss.

"Not bad, not bad. A radius of 25 meters is not small, and it can be used twice a day. It is also a good skill for escape and confidentiality." Hou Xiaoge was very satisfied with this skill.

After leaving the dilapidated courtyard where the two brothers lived, Hou Xiaoge saw a bare hillock, and in the distance he could vaguely see a black mountain.

The sun had just risen at this time, around seven or eight o'clock.

Hou Xiaoge felt the sultry temperature all around him, then looked at the unburned wheat stubble in the fields not far away and estimated that it should be June or July now.

I looked around at the surrounding buildings and found that most of them were dilapidated thatched houses. There were no people around and it looked very desolate.

However, Hou Xiaoge used his mental power to explore the surrounding courtyards and found that there were quite a few people. Most of them were sleeping on the ground. They should be refugees fleeing.

While it is still early, Hou Xiaoge plans to walk around to see if there is anything to eat, and by the way, use his mental power to pick up some waste.

Hou Xiaoge walked carefully along the way, occasionally releasing his mental power to sense if there was any danger.

"All the grass has been eaten up, even the tree bark is not spared. There are tooth marks on these bones, which are obviously human thigh bones. The famine is really terrible." What Hou Xiaoge saw along the way, even though it was summer, still made him shudder.

"Hmm! There are goods in this rat hole." Suddenly, Hou Xiaoge used his mental power to scan and found a small handful of wheat and grass seeds in a rat hole hidden in a corner.

However, there are no rats in this rat hole now. They must have been caught and fed by someone.

Hou Xiaoge walked closer to the corner, and with a movement of his mental power, the wheat grains and grass seeds entered the planting space.

However, Hou Xiaoge cannot plant directly outside. He can only do so by entering the planting space and getting close to the land.

In this way, Hou Xiaoge walked and stopped along the way, and cleared more than twenty rat holes, collecting more than three kilograms of wheat, sorghum seeds, and grass seeds.

It is worth mentioning that Hou Xiaoge also caught two big rats weighing three taels and a nest of red-skinned mice.

However, people were almost starving to death, and Hou Xiaoge didn't care about the disgusting smell of rats. Besides, in his previous life, it was a modern society, and people in the south still often ate rats.

Now with these mice and the planting space, Hou Xiaoge can skip farming and quickly move into animal husbandry.

"We are ordinary people! We are so happy today." Hou Xiaoge sang and jumped all the way.

When they reached the end of the village, a blue brick building suddenly made Hou Xiaoge excited.

"Wow! It's actually a blue brick house. Could this be the legendary landlord's house?

Judging from the situation, they should have fled, but there are still three pounds of nails in the broken boat, there must be good stuff, let's go in and take a look." Although there was not even a gate in the yard, Hou Xiaoge was still looking forward to it.

It is better to be cautious. Hou Xiaoge walked around the yard and used his mental power to explore it, and finally confirmed that there were no refugees living there.

Hou Xiaoge speculated that it might be the natural "reverence" of ordinary poor people towards the rich!

It’s true, a rich family is a rich family. Before entering the door, Hou Xiaoge’s spiritual power found silver and money under the bricks of the gatehouse, and it seemed that there was quite a lot of it.

Hou Xiaoge estimated that this should be the deposit paid by the wealthy family when the house was built.

Because mental power could not collect things through the earthen bricks, and it was broad daylight now, Hou Xiaoge could only write it down first, and then find the tools and dig it out at night.

Walking into the yard, Hou Xiaoge saw dark brown marks on many places on the wall and thought that they must be bloodstains.

The whole yard was arranged in a quadrangle, but most of the buildings had been damaged at this moment. Even the large vat in the middle of the yard was smashed into three pieces. It was a mess at first glance.

Seeing this, Hou Xiaoge had already imagined the scene of the disaster victims breaking into the wealthy houses and burning, killing and looting.

After going around every room, Hou Xiaoge only found some copper coins pressed under the wooden rafters. It was not worth the effort and he got nothing.

However, Hou Xiaoge was not disappointed. After all, this was a large courtyard with three entrances, and most of the people living in the front yard were servants.

After entering the second courtyard, the view is much wider. This is the courtyard where the owner lives. The wing rooms and the main house are all complete. There are corridors around, and there is a small garden of more than 30 square meters and a small pavilion in the middle of the courtyard. However, it is also bare at this time, with only a piece of yellow earth left.

He first explored the small garden and found a small hoe buried half a meter deep. Hou Xiaoge guessed that it must have been buried by the children when they were playing.

It wasn't deep, so Hou Xiaoge found a wooden stick and started digging. After five or six minutes, the small hoe was dug out.

"Although it's rusty, it's still good. At least I have a handy tool." Hou Xiaoge played with the rusty hoe and nodded with satisfaction.

Holding a hoe, Hou Xiaoge began to sweep the yard.

It’s true, the yard where the owner lives is great, and Hou Xiaoge really found a lot of good things there.

Copper coins left in the cracks between bricks, silver dollars buried in the soil, and silver nuggets hidden on the beams were all searched out by Hou Xiaoge.

After inspecting the middle courtyard, Hou Xiaoge walked straight to the backyard without any reluctance.

It has to be said that women still like to hide money. Hou Xiaoge actually found a small wooden box in a room, which contained not only banknotes but also a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

"Wow, I'm rich. I've owned so much gold in two lifetimes!" Hou Xiaoge looked at the small yellow croaker in the wooden box, his eyes shining.

Hou Xiaoge counted and found that there were three small yellow croakers, two hundred silver dollars, five or six pieces of gold and silver jewelry, and finally a roll of three hundred yuan of legal currency in the wooden box.

"Now we are rich. Even if there is a famine, we don't have to worry about starving to death.

But now it is the Republic of China. It seems that I have traveled to the Republic of China, but I don’t know which year it is. "Hou Xiaoge looked at the legal currency of the 28th year of the Republic of China in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just accept what has happened and live in the present. The rest will be up to fate." After thinking a lot, Hou Xiaoge finally decided to take it one step at a time.

After putting the wooden box into the space warehouse, Hou Xiaoge came to the cross courtyard next to the main courtyard.

This cross-courtyard is very large, almost as large as the main courtyard.

Hou Xiaoge could tell at a glance that this was a granary, where servants and livestock lived. This was normal, after all, as a local lord, the locals must store the means of production.

However, it was obvious that this yard had been given special attention by the disaster victims. The entire livestock shed, yard and houses were demolished into pieces, and it looked like a mess.

However, Hou Xiaoge was not without gain. There was a lot of food hidden deep in the rat holes near the granary. Hou Xiaoge collected five or six kilograms of food. He also caught four big rats weighing half a kilogram and a dozen small rats that had just grown hair.

After sorting these out, Hou Xiaoge collected a lot of blue bricks as a precaution, and also put the three large troughs in the livestock shed and the mill in the middle of the yard into the space warehouse.

"It's almost nine o'clock. Let's go back quickly! Otherwise, the little guy will be worried when he wakes up and can't find me." After leaving the Tuzhu compound, Hou Xiaoge looked at the sun above his head and hurried back.

……

"Brother, brother, you're back! I thought you didn't want me anymore."

Xiao Shuanniu, who had just woken up, was about to go out to look for his brother. When he saw Hou Xiaoge coming back, he burst into tears.

"Okay, don't cry. How could I not want you? I just went out to find food." Hou Xiaoge pinched the little guy's almost fleshless face and explained with a smile.

It would have been fine if Hou Xiaoge didn’t mention food, but as soon as he mentioned it, the little guy’s stomach immediately started growling.
