Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

The terrifying scene that the original owner's parents encountered in the vegetable market kept replaying in Lantian's mind. Every detail was like a sharp blade, piercing the original owner's heart.

Lantian could even sense the endless sadness in the original owner's heart. In their previous life, their family had been cannon fodder, tools used to provide the protagonist with benefits, warmth, and welfare.

Poor her parents, who lived in fear all their lives and died in such an unclear way. And she was plotted and murdered by the dog spies in the desolate place of Liujia Village.

She hadn't understood why she had been killed by Liu Jianjun's domestic violence. Now it seemed that this wasn't domestic violence at all, but a calculated attempt to silence her. Needless to say, the order must have come from Cang Yong.

"Host, congratulations! You have discovered the hidden plot on your own. According to the rules, you can get a 500-point reward. Now, the host has already broken the original plot's harm to the original owner, so the reward is doubled. It was originally only 250 points, but now it is 500 points."

Lantian sneered after hearing this.

"Hey, I broke this game right from the start. Why don't you give me the bonus?"

The cocky Ergou shrank back.

Well, why is the host always so scary when he loses his temper?

"Host, this isn't my fault. According to the rules, if you don't discover the hidden plot on your own, even if you break through, you won't get any reward. You see, before, you only triggered the conditions that prompted the hidden plot. Only this time, you discovered the entire hidden plot without even notifying me. Therefore, you've met the conditions for the bonus."

Lantian said nothing.

There's no way to reason with him about this system.

Anyway, these points are free, so why not take them?

Now, she was worried that the original owner didn't know Fu Ming at all. If Fu Ming didn't trust her, she would have no way to save Fu Ming?

After all, according to the hidden plot, he was discovered, corresponded with friends abroad, and was reported. After the report, the Revolutionary Committee actually found these letters in his home, and he was charged with treason. He was eventually sent to a labor camp near Liujia Village. In the end, he never returned to the capital and died on the farm. As to whether his death was real or fake, we can only sigh.

She knew very well that Cang Yong was the mastermind behind all this, and the reason why he was so unscrupulous was that his purpose was to bring down Fu Ming and take him to the island country.

When Lantian thought of Fu Ming, his brows furrowed even more.

Today, Fu Ming is a pillar of Jingcheng University and a well-known figure. It is not easy to get close to him, let alone gain his trust.

This is an era of panic and fear, and all intellectuals are trembling with fear. How could they easily treat a stranger as an ally?

As for the original owner herself, she was just a female educated youth from an ordinary family who had recently returned to the capital. In Fu Ming's eyes, she was perhaps just an insignificant drop of water in the vast sea of ​​people.

"What should I do?"

Lantian murmured softly, and the hot air he exhaled instantly condensed into a ball of white mist in the cold air.

At this moment, she had just gone out and was about to go to Beijing University to find Fu Ming.

However, after the initial excitement, she stopped and looked up at the night sky covered by dark clouds, trying to find a glimmer of inspiration from the endless darkness.

"Host, host, I just carefully searched the original plot. There is an insignificant plot that you can use."

The cocky Ergou suddenly started to show off in Lan Tian's sea of ​​consciousness with some complacency.

(￣▽￣)／

"what?"

Lantian was a little slow to react. What was Ergou trying to do?

"Host, there's a very insignificant description in the original plot. It mentions that Fu Ming's mother recently stepped on an ice cube while buying vegetables at the market, fell, and passed away. Fu Ming was completely lost in thought due to his mother's death, so someone took advantage of him and stuffed these foreign letters into his dormitory."

When Lantian heard this, his eyes lit up and his whole body suddenly glowed.

what is this?

This is when a person feels sleepy and a pillow is handed to him.

She immediately ordered Desser Ergou.

"Ergou, locate me, I'm going to the market right now. This shouldn't have happened yet, right? When?"

"Well, host, we're lucky. According to that short description, it should be this afternoon. She wants to buy some New Year's goods. Sometimes, around the New Year, there are some things in the afternoon, and she wants to try her luck. There are still two hours left. If you rush over now, you should be able to make it."

Lantian couldn't help but get excited.

The original owner's luck was not very good, fortunately I have good luck.

She turned around and followed Desser Ergou's instructions, heading towards the small vegetable market near Beijing University. Fortunately, the buses in Beijing were very convenient, and an hour later, she arrived at the vegetable market.

"Ergou, Fu Ming's mother hasn't come yet, right?"

"No, but it will be soon. It should be very soon."

"Can you find him?"

"Well, there's a portrait at the funeral. I can compare it. Don't worry, it won't cause any trouble. We just need to wait patiently."

Lantian stood anxiously at the entrance of the vegetable market. It was no use for her to be anxious about this matter.

Wait!

Lantian stood at the entrance of the vegetable market, afraid of attracting other people's attention and being mistaken for someone who came to investigate speculation and profiteering, so she could only stroll slowly around the stalls near the entrance.

These days, material things are extremely scarce, and there is really nothing to sell.

She was slowly choosing from the hand-knitted socks section at the door, while keeping an eye on the movements at the door.

Time passed, the market bustling with activity. Lantian pretended to focus on the socks in his hands, but his eyes never left the market entrance.

She would carefully and inconspicuously look at every old lady who came in, for fear of missing Fu Ming's mother.

However, in order to avoid causing disgust among the stall owner, she still picked out a few pairs of cotton socks, just in time for the New Year, for the original owner's parents.

After a while, Ergou's voice suddenly rang in Lantian's mind:

"Host, attention, the target has appeared at ten o'clock, wearing a navy blue cotton jacket and a gray scarf."

Lantian's heart tightened. He looked in the direction Ergou pointed and saw an old lady with a slightly hunched figure walking into the vegetable market with a staggering step. It was Fu Ming's mother.

Lantian took a deep breath, hurriedly picked up the two pairs of socks that had been adjusted, and threw ten yuan to the stall owner.

The stall owner took the money and was about to give the change, but when he looked up, the little girl had already run away.

The stall owner scratched his head in confusion. Are young girls at home so extravagant these days?

She still kept the six yuan change beside her, thinking of giving it to the girl when she came out.

Lantian followed calmly.

The old lady walked around, stopping at a few stalls to bargain and buy quite a few things. Her eyes showed her anticipation for the New Year's goods, and she would occasionally bargain with the stall owners.

Lantian took a look and found that the old lady might be too anxious. She found that she bought too many things. No wonder she slipped on a piece of ice!

This is indeed too much to buy.

At such an old age, carrying so many things is indeed a huge burden.

Lantian suppressed her impulsive urge, feeling that now was not the best time for her to step forward. Anyway, she would definitely rescue the person when the time came.

She was quiet and always kept a certain distance. She couldn't be too far away so that she wouldn't be able to rescue her in time if an accident happened, nor could she be too close to alert the old lady.

Just as the old lady walked to a fish stall and was about to bend down to pick a fresh fish.

The cocky Ergou suddenly spoke.

"Host, host, pay attention, it should be at this time that the original text mentions the fish stall."

Lantian immediately focused all his attention on the old lady.

The old lady was obviously thinking about buying some more fish. Her eyes lit up when she saw the fish stall. Normally, there would be no fish in the afternoon, but today she had come across some.

She walked quickly towards the fish stall.

Suddenly, her feet slipped and she fell forward.

Lantian was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He rushed forward and at the moment when the old lady was about to fall to the ground, he reached out and grabbed her arm tightly, pulled hard, and held the old lady steadily.

"Old man, are you okay?"

Lantian asked with concern, his voice trembling slightly, both because of his nervousness just now and because he was afraid that something might happen to the old lady.

The old lady was obviously frightened by this sudden change. Her face turned pale and it took her a while to recover. She looked at Lantian gratefully and said:

"Girl, thanks to you, if it weren't for you, my old bones would have been broken."

Lantian helped the old lady sit down on a stool nearby, and after a careful examination, he found that the old lady's ankle was a little red and swollen.

She pretended to be distressed and said:

"Old man, you may have sprained your foot. Let me take you to the hospital."

When the old lady heard this, she waved her hands quickly:

"No, no, girl, it's just a sprain. Just go home and rest. Why would I bother you to go to the hospital?"

Lantian was not willing to give up. She knew very well how important this opportunity was to her. If something happened to the old lady, not only would Fu Ming fall into grief, but her plan would also be completely ruined.

So, she advised kindly:

"Old man, please don't take it lightly. If this sprain isn't treated promptly, it could become a serious problem. If you're sorry for me making the trip, I'll call your son and have him pick you up. Is that okay with you?"

The old lady hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Lantian was delighted and hurriedly asked the old lady for Fu Ming's contact information. Then he ran to a nearby public telephone booth and dialed Fu Ming's number.

"Hello, is this Mr. Fu Mingfu?"

Lantian tried his best to keep his voice calm.

"I'm Lantian, at the vegetable market near Jingda. Your mother accidentally fell, and luckily I was nearby and offered her a hand. However, the old lady still sprained her foot. I originally wanted to take her over for a checkup, but she refused to bother me. I think it would be best if you could come over and take her to the hospital for a checkup, so that everyone can be reassured."

When Fu Ming on the other end of the phone heard this, he became extremely anxious:

"What? My mother fell down? Thank you, Miss Lan. I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lantian returned to the old lady and waited patiently with her.

During this period, Lantian also thoughtfully helped the old lady buy some New Year's goods that she had originally planned to buy, which made the old lady like her even more.

Not long after, Fu Ming hurried over. He looked flustered and his forehead was covered with sweat. He saw his mother sitting there and Lantian beside her at a glance.

He walked quickly to his mother, squatted down, held her hand, and asked anxiously:

"Mom, how are you? Where are you hurt? I told you I'll prepare the New Year's goods in two days when I have a holiday. Tell me, why are you so anxious?"

The old lady smiled and comforted:

"Don't worry, son. Thanks to this blue girl who caught me in time, I just sprained my ankle. It's nothing serious."

Fu Ming then raised his head and looked at Lantian, his eyes full of gratitude:

"Miss Lan, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I really can't imagine..."

Lantian waved his hand slightly.

"Mr. Fu, you're welcome. This is just a simple favor. Anyone who sees it will help. However, I still need to go to the hospital for a thorough checkup to avoid any future problems."

Fu Ming nodded repeatedly, helped his mother to stand up, and said to Lan Tian, ​​"Miss Lan, I need to take my mother to the hospital now. Can you leave me the address?"

Lantian listened and gave her address. She continued, "Mr. Fu, it's okay. I'm Zhou Tian, ​​an educated youth who went to the countryside. I'm back in the city to visit my family. I just happened to be planning to buy some things for my parents. I've already bought them. It's okay, I'll go with you. It's probably not convenient for you, a grown man, to take your mother to see a doctor."

After hearing this, Fu Ming agreed.

He said with gratitude, "Okay, okay, but it's too much trouble for you, Miss Zhou."

Lantian waved his hand and stepped forward to support the old lady.
