Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

When Lantian emerged from the cowshed, she carefully observed her surroundings, making sure no one was around. She quickly returned to her room. After a night of tossing and turning, she entered the room, made sure the curtains, doors, and windows were closed, and then slipped into the space.

In the space, the spiritual spring is still clear and transparent, exuding a fresh scent.

Lantian was a little tired after a night of tossing and turning, so he simply took off his clothes and jumped into the hot spring to take a bath.

After she merged the space of the original owner's jade pendant, Lantian found that the spiritual spring had turned into a spiritual hot spring. However, after the first wash, her body had almost no reaction when she soaked in the hot spring again.

Now, she soaks in Wenlingquan purely for the purpose of soaking in hot springs.

As expected, every time she finished a hot spring bath, she always felt refreshed. She quickly went to bed. Tonight had been really hard. Beating someone took energy.

When she woke up, it was already bright outside. Lantian lay in bed, not moving for a long time. She stretched out her body.

[Host, the mission is 70% complete, and the host's resentment has been appeased 90%. Congratulations, host, keep up the hard work.]

"Huh?" Lan Tian was a little confused. When did Ergou have the function of reporting mission completion? "What's going on? How did you get an extra reporting function?"

"Host, this is because you completed your previous world mission very well, and the system energy was replenished, which automatically unlocked some functions. The mission progress broadcast function was restored. Now it seems that you have completed your mission in this world very well, and you have ruined the hero and heroine. The world's self-awareness is automatically repairing the damaged rules. Host, your previous suspicion was correct. Because the rules of the world have been tampered with, Xia Jun and Song Xiang, two scumbags, were locked by the heavens as the hero and heroine."

"What? What? You said that they were chosen as the male and female protagonists because the rules of the world have been tampered with?" Lantian quickly grasped the key point of Ergou's words.

"The contribution points from the previous world were just allocated to me, and I also received a lot of energy points, so some functions were automatically unlocked. I then discovered that it was because the rules of this world were tampered with that Xia Jun and Song Xiang were chosen as the male and female protagonists of this world."

“Who assigns you contribution points and energy points?”

Lantian's mind worked quickly and he asked again.

"Host, I don't know. Some of the functions I have unlocked now don't explain this to me."

Lantian frowned slightly. Who was it?

And who is she herself?

But there was nothing in her mind.

Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

Lantian quickly put aside these questions and asked,

"Ergou, this means that now, as long as I support the original owner's parents, I can rest easy?"

"In principle, you can think so. After all, the hero and heroine of this world are both given to you."

After saying this, the arrogant Ergou stopped talking. He really just suddenly unlocked some functions, and even he himself hadn't figured out the situation yet.

Lantian thought of Fu Ming's promise to her and believed she would be able to return to Beijing soon. Considering the situation of Ma Pingyuan and the other two, she decided to go to the cowshed again tonight to check on their health. Although, she was very confident in the pills she had left for their recovery.

Thinking of this, she got up, brushed her teeth and washed her face, then went to the kitchen to make some fried cakes with porridge for breakfast. She quickly mixed white flour and added some yam powder, thinking that the space could lock up food, so she made a lot of yam fried cakes.

She left two for herself and threw the rest into the space. After drinking a bowl of porridge and eating two fried cakes, she took the two fried cakes and a pound of brown sugar with her and went to the village chief's house.

Lantian will be returning to the city soon and is not planning to work in the fields anymore, so she wants to find the village chief to arrange a lighter job for her.

Liu Changsheng had just finished breakfast. Spring sowing had not yet begun, so there was not much work to do. He was sitting in the main room smoking a pipe.

"Zhou Tian, ​​you're here, why are you bringing anything?" The village chief's wife took the treat from Lan Tian. Her eyes lit up at the sight of the fried dough sticks. They were so fragrant and delicious, but they used so much oil that she couldn't bear to part with them. Furthermore, the fried dough sticks Zhou Zhiqing made were clearly made from pure white flour, and they looked crispy and delicious.

"I made breakfast myself. I made some yam pancakes and added extra flour to satisfy my children's cravings."

"Yam, this thing is so expensive, why are you willing to grind it into powder?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, my parents are not in good health. When I went home, I made some yam powder for them to eat, so I brought some over."

Liu Changsheng took a look at what his wife was holding, pointed at the stool with his pipe, and motioned Lantian to sit down.

"Zhou Tian, ​​what do you want from me?"

"Village Chief, this is what happened. I'm back in the city to visit my family. My parents found me a job, so I should be able to return soon. Before I go back, I was wondering if you could help me find a lighter job. You see, my health is almost broken."

Lantian looked at Liu Changsheng and spoke calmly.

"That's a bit troublesome. If you don't mind the food rations, you can go and pick grass for the pigs. That way you can only get four centimeters a day. Do you think that's feasible?"

Lantian's eyes lit up when she heard this. She had the space at her disposal, and she had no shortage of food, so the number of work points didn't matter to her.

"However, when you leave, you cannot take the house with you. It cannot be considered your property. You must leave it behind." Liu Changsheng looked at Lantian and suddenly spoke slowly.

Lantian reacted immediately.

"That's definitely no problem. However, I do have an idea. Village chief, do you have anyone you can trust? I can sell the house to him before I leave. As for the price, it's up to you to decide. The village will then complete the necessary paperwork and it will be legal. But I have to live there until I leave."

Liu Changsheng nodded secretly in his heart. This girl is very smart. No wonder she can find a job in the city.

He looked at Lantian with satisfaction and spoke slowly.

The village chief's wife stood nearby, winking at him anxiously. His son, Liu Wanlin, was getting married this year. If they could buy Zhou Tian's house, they could save money on building a new one.

"Oh, that's not impossible. My son is getting married soon and needs a wedding house. If you're willing, you can sell it to him. As for the price..."

"Oh, the price? Fifty yuan is fine. The village approved the land for the house when we built it, and I've lived here for so long, so fifty yuan is fine. I just happen to have an income. If your son didn't need it, I would definitely leave my house to the village."

Lantian immediately stood up and spoke sincerely.

Liu Changsheng nodded, agreeing.

Lantian knew that she wouldn't have to work in the fields before leaving.

Many people at the educated youth site were dissatisfied, and Liu Changsheng directly scolded them, saying that if they were willing to earn only four work points a day, they could go and pick grass for pigs.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

These days, work points are your food rations. If you don’t earn work points, you won’t even have enough to eat.

Every morning, after breakfast, Lantian would carry a bamboo basket up the mountain to gather grass for the pigs. This kind of work was usually done by the village's teenage children, filling in for their families. Feeling embarrassed to compete with a group of teenage children at the foot of the mountain for the pig grass, Lantian headed further up the mountain.

As she walked, she tossed any plants she found that caught her eye into the space. Not to mention, she had found two wild ginsengs, over a hundred years old, and transplanted them directly into the space. She also found wild mushrooms, wild mountain fungi, and even a number of matsutake mushrooms, as well as many traditional Chinese medicines, all of which she had transferred into the space.

Lantian even sent a lot of wild animals from the mountains, including rabbits, wild boars, tigers, lions and wolves, into her space.

As the species and number of plants and animals she moved into the space reached a certain amount, Lantian discovered that the entire space had actually expanded a lot.

The mountains in the distance seemed even more distant, and the entire valley widened, appearing lush and verdant. Several acres of medicinal fields had sprouted around the Wenling Spring. These were varieties transplanted from the mountains by Lantian some time ago, and they were thriving. The two wild ginseng plants looked to be over five hundred years old.

Since Lantian didn't have to work in the fields, he basically didn't interact with the villagers or the people at the educated youth camp during this period. He would leave early and return late every day, handing in the full amount of pig feed, and then go back.

She would go to the cowshed every night and bring some food to Ma Pingyuan and the other two, such as rabbit meat she had hunted, to improve their diet.

"Professor Ma, after the last acupuncture treatment tonight, your body will basically be fully recovered. Just relax and wait for your return to the city."

Ma Pingyuan looked at Lantian with gratitude.

"Girl, the three of us are lucky to have met you. Do you think we'll ever be able to return to the city one day?"

Next to them, Qiu Hong and Li Haixin heard Lao Ma mention this question and couldn't help but turn to look at Lantian, their eyes full of anticipation.

"Of course. Think about it, isn't the current situation utterly chaotic? How can this world remain in such chaos forever? You have to believe that our country, our nation, still possesses the immense power to restore order."

"That's very well said. Girl, I've been teaching for my whole life, but I still don't see things as clearly as you do. Got it, I will definitely relax and wait for spring."

Ma Pingyuan had a look of enlightenment on his face, full of longing for the future.

Lantian felt relieved.

As long as a person has hope, he can live well no matter what.

Besides, spring will soon arrive, and the college entrance examination will be resumed the year after next. These three pillars of the country will be able to return to the city by next year at the latest.

"Professor Ma, I should be back in the city soon. My family found me a job in Beijing, so I can go back. I've almost recovered the health of the three of you. Remember, don't be pessimistic, don't despair, relax, and don't take anything unhappy to heart. I'll be waiting for you in Beijing."

After hearing Lantian's words, the three of them's eyes lit up.

When Lantian saw the expressions of the three people, she felt relieved and could leave with peace of mind.

After leaving the cowshed, Lantian went back to the space and took a hot spring bath. Although the house did not have a flush toilet or water heater, she had the space and could take a hot spring bath every day.

Although Wen Lingquan could no longer temper her body, Lantian felt that her skin had become much whiter, no longer the dry, dull skin she had when she first arrived. She looked at least five years younger. Fortunately, she hadn't interacted with many other people during this period.

However, Lantian would tidy herself up every day to make herself look dry and charred so that she would not be conspicuous.

At noon that day, Lantian's spiritual sense scanned the area and spotted the town's postman, a bicycle approaching from a distance. During this period, Lantian would scan the path outside the village with her spiritual sense at regular intervals every day. She knew it must be Fu Ming's telegram.

She hurried down from the mountain and when she reached the door, she happened to meet the postman, who signed for her telegram directly.

The content of the telegram was very simple: the work has been completed and you should return to the city as soon as possible.

Lantian thanked the postman and went straight to see the village chief, Liu Changsheng. Liu Changsheng happened to be at the village committee, so Lantian asked him for a letter of introduction and the procedures for transferring the household registration. They agreed to hand over the house to his son the next day.

Liu Changsheng couldn't help but smile.

He had the village handle the formal sales procedures for the Lantian house, and it was now registered in his son's name. He was obviously very happy to receive the house tomorrow.

Liu Changsheng handled all the procedures very efficiently and did not engage in human trafficking at all.

After Lantian returned, he packed up his belongings and threw everything that could fit into the space. He only packed a large bag for himself, ready to carry it out to hide from others.

In the evening, she went to the cowshed again and left the three old people ten pounds of white flour, ten pounds of yam powder, three pounds of brown sugar, bacon pickled in the space, and a few cans of milk powder, and said goodbye to them. The three old people were very reluctant to let her go, but they also knew that it was a good thing that the girl could return to the city.

The next day, Lantian handed the house keys to Liu Changsheng early. Liu Changsheng had already arranged for the village's oxcart to take her to town. Liu Ronggui was already waiting for her at the village entrance.

Along the way, Liu Ronggui drove the ox cart silently, gently waving the whip in his hand, and the ox moved forward slowly with its hooves.

The sun shines on the country road. The trees on both sides of the road are lush and green. The breeze blows, and the leaves rustle.

Today is a busy day for Liu Ronggui. Not only does he have to safely send Zhou Tian to the bus station in town, he also has the responsibility of going to the commune to retrieve some crucial documents.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously asked the cow to walk faster.

At this time, Lantian took out a bag of fragrant yam oil cakes from his bag and handed it to Liu Ronggui.

Liu Ronggui took the bag and his face was filled with joy. His smile was as bright as a flower blooming in spring.

This is good stuff. The fragrance alone is enough to make you salivate.

He couldn't wait to pick up a piece of fried cake and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully, his face full of satisfaction.

The delicious fried dough cake gave him endless strength, making him drive the ox cart more steady.

After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the bus station in town.

The station was small but bustling with people coming and going, some anxiously waiting for trains, others saying goodbye to friends and family.

The only means of transportation to the outside world here is the car to Dongyuan City.

Lantian quickly bought the ticket and got on the bus.

The minibus was already packed with passengers, and the air was thick with various smells. The bus started slowly, and as the road conditions changed, the body began to shake constantly.

Lantian sat by the window, watching the scenery outside the window constantly receding, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

After a long journey, the minibus finally arrived at Dongyuan Bus Station at around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Fortunately, the train station is next to the bus station, which provides great convenience for Lantian’s subsequent journey.

Lantian dragged his tired body and walked into the train station carrying heavy luggage.

She bought a train ticket home, then found a seat in the waiting room and waited quietly for the train to arrive.

After three days and two nights of travel, when Lantian stepped out of the train carriage, he seemed to have lost all his energy and became listless and haggard.

However, as soon as she got home, Mother Zhou went into the kitchen without saying a word and carefully prepared a bowl of steaming shredded pork noodles for Lantian.

Lantian picked up the bowl and began to eat with big mouthfuls. The evenly thick noodles slid into his mouth, and the tender and juicy shredded pork was even more delicious. In a short while, Lantian had devoured the entire bowl of noodles.

At this moment, she felt rejuvenated and all her previous fatigue was swept away.
