Chapter 1 Hello eighteen years old, hello 1995
Zhang An looked at the familiar village in front of him. Although there were only about a hundred households, it was a sight that would not be seen in future generations. The roofs of every household were floating. The corners of Zhang An's mouth turned up slightly.
In short, Zhang An traveled through time due to some uncontrollable reasons and returned to more than 20 years ago, when he had just finished the college entrance examination in 1995.
For more than ten days after seeing this world again, Zhang An felt as if he was in a dream every day, confused and confused.
So I became taciturn and often ran to the hillside behind the village alone, sometimes sitting there all afternoon.
The family only thought that Zhang An became like this because he failed in the exam and needed to adjust his mentality, so they were not too worried.
But in fact Zhang An is not. He is just adapting to the world. At the same time, he is also adapting to his own welfare as a reborn person, an independent space that exists in his mind.
After more than ten days of observation and exploration, Zhang An has basically figured out his blessings (external) and benefits (external).
This is a space of about ten acres, with dark soil inside. Zhang An, who was born in the countryside, can tell at a glance that this land is very fertile. Compared with the loess in his own field, it is definitely not the same. Grade.
The land is not flat, and one side is slightly higher. However, Zhang An couldn't distinguish the southeast from the northwest after walking around for more than ten days.
On one side of the high terrain, there is a small pond, with a clear spring emerging from the ground. The water in the small pond slowly flows to the other side along the creek formed on the ground.
After Zhang An drank the water in the pond, he found that it tasted much better than the mountain spring water outside.
It’s not that Zhang An is not afraid of death and dares to drink water when he sees it.
One is because Zhang An has always had a thought in his heart, as if telling himself that this place will not harm him.
The second one is the endless curiosity inside.
The visible part of the space is only about ten acres, and nothing can be seen outside, because the surroundings are filled with gray-white smoke, covering all the outside places.
Even the stream flowing out of the pond flowed all the way into the white mist.
Zhang An tried to walk outside, but with all his strength, he could not move even one centimeter into the smoke. Later, Zhang An gave up the idea of exploring outside.
If Zhang An was frightened and scared at first when he came in, it slowly turned into a surprise.
In the past ten days, Zhang An walked alone to the hillside behind the village every afternoon to play alone. There was a reason for staying alone. If a living person disappeared out of thin air, then How terrifying.
Zhang An dug up some local cherry and peach saplings from the mountains and brought them into the space to plant them.
At first it was just to test whether the space could bring things in, but later it was found that it was feasible.
But after planting, Zhang An was pleasantly surprised. The small saplings planted the first day had grown into big trees and bloomed when Zhang An came in to see them again the next day. .
He knew that the land in the space could definitely be planted, because this was the trust of the mountain people in the land, but he did not expect it to grow so fast. It turned out that space has the function of stimulating birth.
So Zhang An went to the mountain to catch some small fish and shrimps and put them into the space to see if they could be raised.
Zhang An will definitely not put it directly into the pond, because he still needs to drink the water. After all, in winter in the mountains, the wells may dry up, and it will be difficult to use water then.
So he brought a hoe from home and dug a big hole by the stream, and raised the fish and shrimp he brought in. He also picked up some aquatic plants and put them into the fish pond. After all, fish don’t just drink. It can grow up on water, and it needs to eat some water plants and other things.
While digging a pit, Zhang An discovered the magical effect of spring water. When Zhang An was thirsty while digging, his body was also weak and he wanted to drink water and rest.
After a few sips, Zhang An's fatigue had dissipated.
Later, Zhang An discovered that although the fish and shrimps he put in did not grow as fast as those trees, they basically changed every day. In just three days, Zhang An discovered that the fish and shrimps in the fish pond had all grown. It has grown up, and there are still some small fry swimming in the small pond. "This is such a good treasure. There is smoke coming out of the old Zhang family's ancestral grave. I am going to make a fortune."
Originally, Zhang An planned to go out and look for a job after a while. With the experience he had accumulated in his previous life, he should be able to find a relatively good job.
But that’s all. Zhang An couldn’t do it if he wanted to cheat and make money like the reborn protagonists in later online novels.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person. He had worked, entered a factory, set up a stall, and opened a store. With these experiences, he knew everything he wanted, so he couldn't have been like that in his previous life. mediocre.
It’s like the World Cup. You clearly know who is the champion, but Zhang Anke can’t remember the score, let alone stock investments and the like.
So at first Zhang An just planned to find a slightly better job so that his family could live a better life.
But now that I have this good baby, I can do a lot more.
Who said that rural people must face the loess and back to the sky, and work diligently and diligently in farming.
I don’t want to, I will plant land in the village and create a paradise.
Looking at the time on the horizon, I guessed it was almost four or five o'clock, and the sun had begun to set.
Zhang An got up and went home, carrying two grass carp caught from the space in his hand, each about three or four pounds in size, and they were strung together with ropes made of grass.
In order not to arouse the curiosity of others, Zhang An deliberately took a detour to the river and walked back home. People he met along the way enthusiastically asked Zhang An where he got the fish, and their eyes were full of envy. .
In this era, eating rice is all about corn rice, and eating meat is very rare. That is, during the holidays, meat dishes can only be seen once when guests come to the door.
After Zhang An’s family was separated, the family of three was not under great pressure in life. The harvest in the past few years was good and they could basically eat rice, but eating meat was not common.
The hares and other things caught on the fish mountains in the river are usually taken to the market and sold for money to cut lard. Not many people eat them directly, at least in this era. Zhang An had never seen such a family in Changqing Village.
Back home, my mother Wang Fang is sitting in the yard, sewing and repairing the torn linen bags at home. It is the slack season, the corn in the fields has just been weeded, and only the paddy fields need regular irrigation. , nothing else happened.
So many people will first take out the torn pockets at home and sew them up so that they can be filled with food during the autumn harvest.
My father Zhang Jianguo was also sitting nearby chatting with his mother. When he saw Zhang An coming in, the two grass carp in his hand looked particularly dazzling.
"This fish is quite big. Have you entered the water?" Zhang Jianguo frowned. This season is the rainy season. The water in the river is a bit deep, so entering the water is dangerous.
Zhang An naturally knew what his father meant, so he found a basin, poured some water and put the fish in it.
"I didn't go into the river. When I was playing by the river today, I saw a place where the aquatic plants were growing too well and a group of fish were trapped in it. I tried to see if I could catch some. The water is not very deep, but These fish are very smart. I didn’t catch the other small fish. Only these two stupid big ones didn’t run away and were caught by me.”
The fish raised in the space are really different, although. It looked a little wimpy as I carried it along, but it came alive again as soon as I put it in the water.
"That's fine, I'm afraid you'll get into the water. Although I grew up by the river, I'm sure I know how to swim, but now the water in the river has swollen. It can submerge a person as high as a person. It's very dangerous to go down."
Zhang Jianguo felt relieved after hearing his son's words. This big river drowns people every year, either from his own village or from other villages. Everyone says there are water ghosts in the river.
But in fact, he was trapped in aquatic plants and drowned in the river. The water ghost was just a pretext to scare his children.
