Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

In the early morning, the strands of light are like a veil, gently passing through the gaps in the window and silently falling into every corner of the house, carefully coating this small space with a layer of light warm gold, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Lantian slowly woke up from his sleep.

Last night, after going through untold hardships, she finally climbed out of the secret exit outside the city.

After successfully escaping, she told Ergou, who was beside her, to remember this crucial location well, and then she went straight back home without hesitation.

After returning home, Lantian quietly climbed into his room through the window as if he was familiar with the place, then quickly slipped into the space and began to wash up carefully and meticulously.

When she finished washing up and walked out of the space, the sky outside the window was already turning pale and dawn was about to break.

Lantian felt exhausted at this time, after all, he had been tossing and turning all night long.

Although she had previously used the power of the spiritual spring to cleanse herself, she still felt physically and mentally exhausted.

You know, this body is really too weak. Except for using the spiritual spring to wash it once when she first arrived, she has hardly taken good care of the external condition of her body since then.

Although she would practice martial arts diligently on weekdays, due to her long-term neglect of physical care, the improvement in her physical condition was ultimately very limited.

Thinking of this, Lantian couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking secretly in his heart:

It seems that the most urgent thing at the moment is to take good care of this body.

If she had been physically strong enough last night, she would definitely have been able to strangle those two hateful spies to death on the spot.

In this way, this is undoubtedly the most straightforward and permanent solution, but unfortunately it is really difficult to do so given her current physical condition!

However, thinking about the situation in Liujia Village, if the original owner suddenly became radiant, she would not be able to explain it, and in the end, she could not have the best of both worlds.

Lantian decided that from now on, she would temper this body.

Although there is no spiritual energy in this world, martial arts can still be practiced.

She can also strengthen her body and reach the world's top level as soon as possible.

Thinking that there was still a month of vacation, Lantian felt relieved.

At worst, she could wait until she returned to Liujia Village and kill these two spies before leaving.

It wasn't that she wasn't willing to try other methods.

But, Cang Yong’s position is too high.

It was simply beyond the reach of ordinary people like the original owner, so she could only use the simplest and quickest method.

She took a deep breath and listened to the rustling sounds of the original owner's parents coming from outside the door. Like a dancer about to perform on stage, she quickly and calmly adjusted her mood and instantly switched to the appearance of her usual well-behaved and sensible daughter.

She got up calmly, pushed the door into the kitchen, and began to wash up in an orderly manner.

These old-style factory dormitories basically do not have separate toilets.

There is a public restroom at the end of the corridor on each floor.

Basically, every household gets up in the morning and washes up in the kitchen.

The sound of water on the sink maintains the seemingly ordinary rhythm of the early morning.

Zhou Tian's home also has a separate kitchen, which is very good among the housing allocated by the unit.

Mainly because Zhou Mingguo was a technical backbone in the factory and the leaders took care of him, they allocated him a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment with a suite.

This time, both of them were fired from the factory.

In fact, the leaders are also under pressure from above and there is nothing they can do.

Director Cui still disagrees with this approach from the bottom of his heart.

He was considering giving them temporary jobs after they recovered. Therefore, the house and the factory were never reclaimed.

The other key leaders within the factory, including the two deputy factory directors and their two workshop directors, were actually quite sympathetic to the original owner's parents. These two individuals were truly good-natured and efficient within the company, making them key personnel, and the leadership was reluctant to fire them. However, they also understood that this was the intention from above. Therefore, they all turned a blind eye to the factory director's plans.

All these situations were told to Lantian by the arrogant Ergou.

"Ergou, that leader who greeted me from above, is that Cang Yong?"

"Yes, host. Cang Yong has a good relationship with the Minister of the Machinery Industry. He let Minister Wang know that Zhou Guoming and Wan Wan were seeking personal gain within the factory. Of course, he only said this verbally, but his words revealed a clear sense of disgust. Minister Wang's child just happened to need him to arrange a good school, so Minister Wang called Director Cui directly. You have to know that this was the Minister's intention, even if it was just a hint, how could Director Cui dare not do it?"

Lantian sighed inwardly, "Alas, it's true that higher-ranking officials can crush people to death. It seems that the factory leaders are not so heartless."

After hearing this, the cocky Ergou couldn't help but chuckle a few times.

"Host, you're not as worldly-wise as I am, are you? Your parents are the backbone of the factory. The quality of the machinery factory's products, so to speak, is all controlled by your parents. If you fire them all, where else can you expect them to find such suitable people? They are familiar with the factory, understand the technology, are obedient and honest, are determined, and have good personalities. People say that capable people have tempers. But the original owner's parents don't have that at all."

It was rare for Lantian not to refute Ergou this time.

Why does she feel that this Tongzi's thinking is becoming more and more tortuous like human thinking?

There's something wrong with this Tongzi!

However, she didn't show it, so I'll just have to observe slowly. It's better to complete the task first.

In this world, she has discovered several hidden plots, but there are no additional new tasks. It seems that the original owner hopes that her parents can live a safe and happy life. This wish is too strong.

She pondered for a moment. The original owner was so honest, yet she was sold by Song Xiang and still counted the money for her. This really had a lot to do with the character and education of the original owner's parents.

She was simply showing off, telling Song Xiang, I am an honest person, come and cheat me, cheat me!

Lantian put her mind aside and decided to protect the original owner's parents first. This was her most important task.

She opened the door and went straight to the kitchen.

Zhou's mother Wan Wan got up early and tiptoed into the kitchen.

The kitchen was still filled with a little chill from last night, but she didn't care. She skillfully tied on her old but clean apron and started working briskly.

The flames on the stove danced happily, reflecting her concerned face. The water in the pot gradually heated up, making a gurgling sound, playing a unique melody in this warm morning.

At this moment, she caught a glimpse of Lantian walking in from the corner of her eye, and a bright smile instantly bloomed on her face. That smile was like the sunflowers blooming in spring, warm and making people feel particularly comfortable.

She smiled and asked, "Tiantian, did you sleep well last night?"

The voice was as gentle as a breeze blowing across the lake, creating ripples, full of a mother's love for her daughter.

Little did she know that she and her husband Zhou Mingguo had gone through a "thrilling" detoxification process last night and almost did not sleep all night.

The reaction caused by the spiritual spring water in their bodies initially made the two of them panic and break out in cold sweats. The stench of the toxins that were continuously discharged filled the room and made them almost nauseous.

But even so, Wan Wan relied on her tenacity to get through this difficult night.

The magical thing was that when the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on her face through the window, she felt as if she was reborn, and her whole body was filled with an unprecedented sense of ease. All her fatigue and discomfort were completely driven away by the tossing and turning of that night.

At this moment, Wan Wan, standing in the kitchen, felt as if a clear spring was flowing through her body, and every pore was comfortable. The feeling was simply indescribable, it was wonderful!

If she hadn't been concerned about the surprised looks of others and worried that others would think she was crazy, she really wanted to open her throat and shout loudly to the vast world to express her inner joy.

At this moment, her whole body seemed to be injected with vitality, her excitement was beyond words, and it seemed that even her hair was dancing happily.

Lantian's gaze naturally fell on Wan Wan.

She tilted her head slightly, hiding the inquiry and concern in her eyes.

Wan Wan's hair was not at all messy and had a healthy luster.

His gaze slowly moved down, passing over the corners of Wan Wan's eyes. The originally subtle crow's feet seemed to have faded a lot, and her eyes were bright and lively, completely free of the fatigue and turbidity of the past.

Looking at her cheeks again, her skin was rosy and stained with a light layer of morning glow, revealing vitality.

Finally, it landed on her busy hands, with quick and steady movements, without any delay.

Lantian took it all in calmly, nodding secretly in his heart, well, the condition is indeed good.

After being nourished and cleansed by the spiritual spring, the hidden injuries that had accumulated on Wan Wan's body disappeared quietly, just like ice and snow meeting the warm sun.

Her face seemed to be covered by a layer of crystal clear gauze, revealing a healthy and moist glow, and all the haggardness and fatigue of the past were swept away.

Lantian knew that it was a good thing that he returned home at this time. Wan Wan looked so radiant that outsiders could interpret it as someone who was in high spirits because of good news.

Otherwise, this sudden change would easily arouse suspicion.

She had wanted to remind the two of them to try to look more haggard in the future so as not to attract too much attention.

But she racked her brains but couldn't find a suitable excuse. After all, if the matter was made clear, she would have to spend a lot of time explaining the matter of the spiritual spring water.

Lantian hesitated for a long time, pursed his lips slightly, and said hesitantly:

"Mom, what happened to you and Dad last night? Why did I feel like the house seemed to smell bad in the second half of the night? But you look fine now, are you really okay?"

When Wan Wan thought of the scene when someone knocked on the door last night, she felt a little helpless.

Last night, their daughter knocked on the door to ask about something. The couple was afraid that she would worry, so they mumbled and lied to her in the house and refused to open the door.

After hearing Lantian's words, Wan Wan's hand, which was putting noodles into the pot, shook violently, and the chopsticks in her hand almost slipped, and she was stunned for a moment.

She hadn't expected her daughter to bring this up so suddenly. Her mind raced, thinking about how to smooth things over...

Now, the Four Olds were being destroyed everywhere, and they had all been fired from their jobs in the factory.

If someone else discovers anything unusual, it will definitely not end well.

Lantian pretended not to notice anything. She glanced at Wan Wan's expression and knew that she had heard it, so she said no more.

Wan Wan prepared breakfast and hurried to the bedroom.

"Old Zhou, look, after all that going on last night, don't we both suddenly look younger?"

Wan Wan picked up a small mirror and looked at her face carefully.

Zhou Mingguo had woken up long ago. He had been dazed looking at himself in the mirror beside the bed, and when Wan Wan said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Wan'er, we should be more careful here. If we get targeted again, we'll be in trouble. Tell me, who targeted us a while ago?"

"Oh, you don't know? I've been thinking about it for a while now. We both go to get off work and come home on time every day. After get off work, we rarely go out except to buy groceries. We haven't offended anyone in normal times. How could this guy be so cruel? Not only did he beat us up, but if we weren't lucky that the patrol happened to come by that day, I think we would have been beaten to death."

Wan Wan became very angry when she talked about this.

Who is this person? He is so wicked and likes to bully these two honest people.

After hearing this, Zhou Mingguo sighed again.

The two of them have thought about this question countless times.

who is it?

Who is it?

Do you have to take their lives?

That day, after get off work, the two of them had just left the factory and hadn't walked far when they ran into an elderly woman who was lost. The elderly woman couldn't tell where she lived, and she grabbed Wan Wan and wouldn't let go.

The two men had no choice but to take the old lady around and ask around. It was not until it was completely dark that they finally found the old lady's home.

She was an elderly woman who worked at a textile factory and often got lost and forgot things. After her children returned, they searched everywhere for her. Unexpectedly, Zhou Mingguo and his wife sent her back.

The two of them didn't think much of it, but on their way back, they passed through a long alley where almost no one walked, and were suddenly ambushed.

The two men had no power to fight back and were beaten all over. They shouted for help, but there was no one around. If the patrol had not happened to pass by, they would have been killed.

Zhou Mingguo and Wan Wan thought about it countless times afterwards, and they both agreed that the hooligans had indeed intended to beat the two of them to death.

It was dark, and the two of them had no way of seeing the assailant's appearance, so the police had no way of solving the case.

Originally, the two thought it was their own illusion.

However, a few days later, a piece of paper was slipped through the crack of his door. On the paper were words cut out from newspapers.

"Shut your mouth."

They couldn't figure out what they were seeing, and others asked them to shut up.

Now, the two of them don't have to think about it anymore.

This group of people were really planning to beat them both to death.

However, according to the public security investigation.

There is nothing wrong with the old lady.

Lantian returned to the room and used his spiritual sense to listen to his parents whispering from afar.

She thought to herself, according to current sayings, the old lady had Alzheimer's disease.

Zhou Mingguo and Wan Wan couldn't recall what they had seen. After discussing it, they felt the current police were quite incompetent. So, they didn't even mention the note to them.

A few days later, they received a notice of dismissal from the factory.

Now, the two were certain that the person who threatened them must be in a high position with connections, otherwise, they couldn't just fire them.

From then on, Zhou Mingguo and Wan Wan lived in nameless fear every day, not only because of the injuries on their bodies, but more importantly because of the fear.

They didn't dare to contact their daughter at all, for fear that she would be retaliated against.

"Wan'er, I think we still need to clean up a bit. We mustn't let anyone else find out what my daughter just said. Sigh, to be honest, I wonder if Tiantian will be implicated when she returns this time?"

Zhou Mingguo looked worried.

After hearing this, Wan Wan was trying to put on makeup to make herself look older and more haggard, while feeling worried.

"Old Zhou, tell me, what exactly is going on? Who have we offended?"

At this moment, Lantian withdrew his spiritual consciousness.

Well, now I know what happened to the original owner's parents.

"Ergou, do you know what's going on?"

"Well, the hidden plot was just triggered."

"Ah, another hidden plot?"

"I'll pass it to you, you can read it yourself!"

The arrogant Ergou didn't waste any time and directly transmitted the plot to Lantian.
