Quick Travel: Destiny for Thirty Lifetimes

Lian Qingyang was awakened by a jolt. He lowered his head and opened his eyes, only to see a worn bag on his lap. He raised his eyes slightly to take in the surroundings, then quickly lowered his head again.

The surrounding scenery looked like a rural area. He was currently sitting on an ox cart, with six or seven other people sitting closely next to him. However, no one was talking, and they all had their heads down, not knowing what they were thinking. Lian Qingyang simply lowered his head to accept the plot of this world.

This is an imaginary world similar to Lian Qingyang's original world. It also experienced the era of educated youth going to the countryside. Lian Qingyang's group is the last group of educated youth to go to the countryside. If nothing unexpected happens, the country will announce the resumption of the college entrance examination soon, so they will have to return to the city after staying in the village for less than three months.

But they actually didn't know it now, so everyone was depressed. Most of the people in the car were under 20 years old, and the youngest was 16 years old.

Lian Qingyang is only seventeen years old now, with a fair complexion. He is the second child in the family. He has an older brother who is already engaged in production work and a younger brother who is five or six years old. Therefore, his family can only let him go. However, he has never done farm work. This time he was sent to Yunqi Village. He almost vomited from just riding in an ox cart.

Arriving at the village youth training center, he struggled with all sorts of adaptations. He tried hard to fit in, but it was hot in July. He'd never done much work since childhood, and, coupled with his frail frame, was often dizzy from prolonged exposure to the sun. Consequently, he always had the fewest work points in the team; even that sixteen-year-old child did more!

Later, the leader of the educated youth team assigned him some easy work to do, which made him feel better.

The people in Yunqi Village are very simple and honest, and the educated youth who came here are also pragmatic and never cheat. The two sides get along quite well. When the educated youth returned to the city, the villagers were reluctant to let them go and gave them some things to take with them. The educated youth would also send some things to the village, and they kept interacting like this for more than ten years.

The plot of this world is so perfect that Lian Qingyang couldn't help but ask Xiaojiu in confusion: So this world is for me to take a vacation?

Xiaojiu was silent for a few seconds, then spoke in a deep voice: "Yes and no, originally according to the plot, it was like this, and you are very close to your goal, so the days after this will be considered a vacation, but!"

Suddenly, a crackling sound of electricity came from Xiaojiu, and it told Lian Qingyang along with the sound of electricity: "I just detected that one of the educated youth in your car seems to have traveled through time. That person's soul is now living in an era similar to this world, which can be called a parallel world. He was framed in that world, so he has become a little darker. He holds strong malice towards all of you in this world, and he may frame you again."

As the sound of "zizi" continued, Xiaojiu's voice gradually became quieter. "He also knows something about the resumption of the college entrance examination and the return of educated youth to the city. Now I just hope he doesn't use too many tricks. Oh, his name is Lin... Zizi... Zizi... Zizi..."

Lian Qingyang frowned and called Xiaojiu in his mind for a long time without any response, so he simply gave up.

He glanced at the people around him again. They all had their heads down and their expressions could not be seen clearly. Even Qingyang couldn't tell who it was, but Xiaojiu told him the man's surname, so it was not that difficult to find him.

The oxcart swayed slowly until it finally reached the entrance of Yunqi Village half an hour later. Several people were waiting there. Lian Qingyang and his companions got off and walked over. A man who looked to be in his fifties introduced himself, saying, "I'm the head of Yunqi Village. My last name is Ji. You can call me Village Head Ji."

Then he pointed to the young man next to him and said, "This is the educated youth team leader Qu Ruixiang. He will take you to the educated youth center to put your things away, and then he will arrange work for you. If you have anything else, you can talk to Xiao Qu. I'll be leaving now."

Qu Ruixiang glanced at everyone in turn, and finally paused when he saw what Lian Qingyang was wearing. He turned around and led the way. On the way, he explained the situation in the village to them: "Yunqi Village is relatively good. I came here two years ago. I'm 22 years old now, so I should be older than all of you. Just call me Brother Qu. The villagers are very nice. Almost no one dislikes us educated youth. We just have to eat separately from the villagers. A few educated youth will be left in charge of cooking at the educated youth station. As for work, we help the villagers plant crops and harvest corn and wheat. We can earn work points, which can be exchanged for money to buy things, or for food."

The road was a loess road, full of potholes and not flat at all. Everyone lowered their heads and paid attention to the road while listening to Qu Ruixiang speak, and they all heard what he said.

As they passed the farmland, they saw many people working under the scorching sun. It was summer, and almost everyone wore short-sleeved shirts and shorts. Even the educated youth were dressed the same way, though the material was much better. Only Lian Qingyang wore long-sleeved shirts and long pants. After walking for a while in the sun, his face began to flush, beads of sweat formed on the tip of his nose, and his hair was a little damp at the temples. His pale, thin figure made him look less miserable than pitiful.

He pursed his lips, hugged the bag tightly in his arms and followed the end of the team. From time to time, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat that flowed to his chin. He thought that the body in this world seemed to be a physique that sweats easily!

At the innermost part of the village where the educated youth lived, the doors of almost all the houses they passed by were closed. It seemed that these people had gone to work in the fields. When they arrived at their residence, several female educated youth were preparing to cook in the yard. They were a little surprised to see a group of male educated youth this time, but they greeted them after a moment.

Qu Ruixiang led them to a large room and pointed to a spot inside, saying, "This is where the men live. We have quite a few men here, so the eight of you can squeeze in over there, okay?"

He was a very dedicated captain, and he stood patiently at the door waiting for everyone to finish packing. With him watching, the others felt less hasty and quickly put away their belongings. Then Qu Ruixiang took them to register their names.

Lian Qingyang noticed that there were two people with the surname Lin. One was the sixteen-year-old boy younger than him, named Lin Haojun, and the other was named Lin Guokang. He looked fierce, but sounded naive when he spoke.

Just watching, he didn't notice anything unusual from the two people. He could only keep his doubts in his heart and wait to see who would reveal the truth first.

After that, it was time to assign tasks. Qu Ruixiang finished the first few tasks quickly. When it was Lian Qingyang's turn, he looked up for a moment, then picked up his pen and began to write. As usual, he asked, "Is it okay to harvest wheat?"

Lian Qingyang replied in a loud and clear voice, "Sure! Thank you, Captain, for the arrangement!"

Lian Qingyang hasn't spoken much since he arrived here. He just wrote his name himself. His handwriting is very beautiful, but the font is vigorous and a little inconsistent with his appearance. When he opened his mouth suddenly, he attracted other people's attention. Qu Ruixiang was also a little surprised. The energetic voice was very inconsistent with his fair and thin appearance.

When he first saw Lian Qingyang's expression, he thought that he would refuse such a job. But since Lian Qingyang agreed so readily, he just had to make the arrangements.
