ter all, she came from the Jiang family, a wealthy clan, and had witnessed various kinds of extravagance. 。However, who could have guessed that Cao Mingyu, the shining star of campus and a talented yo...In the afternoon, the boys were busy cleaning up the yard. The broken walls and gates needed repair, and the problem with the only public toilet was even more troublesome. 。Seeing that he was unable to help, Jiang Yan left the crowd and walked toward the back mountain, where his little secret was hidden. 。Their dwelling was in a prime location. Behind it, a grove of small trees concealed a clear spring creek, the purest water from the mountains. Following the stream led to the village pond, and further on, a path wound its way into the green hills. 。Such a feng shui treasure land, why would it be left vacant in the hands of educated youth Although Jiang Yan had doubts, he believed that life needed to be explored slowly, leaving some unknown pleasures for the future. 。Jiangyan's trip out this time wasn't for nothing. He found an excuse, firstly to celebrate the start of a new life and boost everyone's morale, and secondly to take this opportunity to visit Village Chief Niu Dashi. While it wasn't for any favors in terms of work, understanding the customs and habits of the village would always be beneficial. 。As he walked, Jiang Yan searched his mind. When he first obtained the space, it was on the edge of the apocalypse. He mainly used it to store supplies, including a large amount of seeds cultivated into plants and medicinal herbs. As for wild animals, he hadn't had time to capture them yet. 。Besides common domestic animals like poultry and livestock, the space also houses a pair of wild and domesticated rabbits, as well as fish and seafood. 。After a period of breeding, these resources have become plentiful. 。Jiang Yan finally decided not to bring the rabbit. He casually picked some roadside mugwort and skillfully twisted it into a hemp rope. Then, he took out four palm-sized crucian carp from his spatial storage. For such a shallow stream, this harvest was already enough to arouse suspicion. 。Carrying several fresh, tender crucian carp and a handful of carefully selected melon seeds, Jiang Yan returned with light steps. However, as soon as he stepped through the door, the scene before him made him pause slightly. 。Outside the courtyard, a group of children of different sizes gathered like a tangled mess, surrounding Zhang Qingfang. Their fingers were stained with smudges, [some tightly clutching her sleeves, while others held onto her skirt hem. Zhang Qingfang was surrounded by them, her voice slightly anxious but with a smile: "Really, there's none left, I've already divided it up" 。Jiang Yan smiled wryly. He had long understood that Zhang Qingfang's straightforwardness and kindness were well-known, probably stemming from her unique family upbringing. 。He imagined that Zhang Qingfang's family background must be extraordinary, and their concern for her would definitely manifest in action. It wouldn't be long before they either called her back home or sent someone to protect her. 。Therefore, Jiang Yan reminded himself to be more careful in his future actions. 。At this time, Old Mr. Niu appeared carrying a basket of green grass. He waved his arms to disperse the children and gently admonished Zhang Qingfang, but he also understood her kindness. In the end, he just shook his head and left. 。Jiang Yan seized the opportunity to stop him, preparing to offer fish as a gift. 。"Mister, I just caught some fish in the stream, hoping to give the children a different taste. Although they're a little small, please don't mind." 。Jiang Yan said, handing forward several fish. 。Uncle Niu initially refused, but under Jiang Yan's persistence, he only accepted two. After inquiring about the source of the fish, he reminisced about the difficult years in the past. Now that the mountains and forests are gradually recovering their vitality, wild animals are starting to return. 。As they said their goodbyes, the children who had been hiding nearby heard the commotion and rushed towards the mountains, as if they had found a new treasure. 。Zhang Qingfang looked at this scene, her heart still a little afraid, but she didn't take it to heart. She just smiled and watched Jiang Yan 。Jiang Yan didn't say much, he knew this wasn't a big deal, and Zhang Qingfang had her own way of handling things. 。Lu Hong heard the noise and carefully walked out of the room, her eyes falling on Jiang Qing's catch. 。His eyes widened in surprise, prompting a flurry of questions from the crowd. 。Jiang Qing recounted his discovery once more. Lu Hong and Zhang Qingfang expressed astonishment, while several men were filled with surprise. They realized that since Jiang Yan could do it, they could too. 。At the thought of being able to savor delicious fish every day in the future, a sense of happiness that transcended their homes filled their hearts. 。At night, a pot of simple salt-water boiled fish and a few flatbreads filled everyone's stomachs. They licked their lips contentedly. 。After the meal, everyone worked together to boil hot water. After washing themselves, they each returned to their own rooms. 。Jiang Yan carefully closed the door, tidied up the bed meticulously, and placed a wooden stake outside the door before dragging her two suitcases into her mysterious domain. 。The space seemed somewhat chaotic, although the ramshackle colorful steel sheet houses were haphazardly arranged, the ancient courtyard retained its original elegance because Jiang Yan rarely set foot in it. 。She was a highly vigilant person, passionate about stockpiling materials. Even during peacetime, the amount of food stored in her home could keep her comfortable for months without leaving. 。In the urgency of the apocalypse, her collecting behavior intensified. Despite the clutter in the space being difficult to manage, she remained steadfast in her protection of the indigenous architecture. Thus, she had a batch of mobile steel storage units custom-made and haphazardly piled in a corner of the space, serving as temporary storage. 。She remembered to store perishable items and essentials in the dormant area, just in case the space became a ruin as soon as it opened. 。Jiang Yan ignored those corrugated iron houses and strode straight into the three-in ancient house. This was the work of the former owner—the one who had once been empress. 。She, neglected and unloved, had the space to herself. Choosing to distance herself from the palace intrigues, she devoted herself to cultivating this piece of land. 。Until her family suffered, she personally ended the emperor's rule and looted the palace and treasury before taking monastic vows. This act had a profound impact on the dynasty's economy, which Jiang Yan deeply admired. 。The queen's story made a deep impression on her. She specially set up an altar in the space out of respect. 。Jiang Yu placed her luggage on the wooden chair in the garden, slowly opening it. Inside, it was completely empty. 。She gently touched the edge of the box lid, recalling a small protrusion and using it to release a black hair clip. It was topped with a miniature "M" emblem. 。Jiang Yan carefully inserted the hairpin into the mechanism, turned it three times, and with a "bang," picked up the hair card. 。The box lid creaked open a sliver. 。She gently twisted it open, revealing a soft, flat box. Inside lay a delicate silver pistol, with neat rows of silver bullets beside it. 。This was Jiang Han's coming-of-age gift for his granddaughter, unfortunately he couldn't see her wearing it. 。Jiang Han carefully examined the pistol. Although there were weapons in the space, this one was undoubtedly more exquisite. The combination of silver and steel, the grip inlaid with walnut wood and ivory, [the intricate jade carving had a special non-slip pattern, and even the bullets were crafted from personalized alloy material] 。It is obvious that Jiang Han had made careful arrangements. 。After carefully placing the firearm, Jiang Yan proceeded as before, opening the hidden compartment at the bottom of the suitcase. There lay a treasure, originally meant to be her wedding gift. 。At present, due to the pressing circumstances, I have only chosen to keep the valuable items with me. The rest are carefully concealed, awaiting a time when conditions permit their retrieval. 。In another suitcase, there was a stack of neatly arranged financial documents. There were crisp new banknotes and old-fashioned coins, each type of currency bundled together in neat amounts. Jiang Yan gazed at these, and his heart couldn't help but ripple. 。This undoubtedly reflected Jiang Han's deep care for the original owner, but fate played a cruel trick, preventing a good ending. 。After gathering his thoughts, Jiang Yan began to sort out the spatial resources. 。This space resembles a miniature planet, half land and half azure blue. Beneath the crust lies a treasure trove of time and space frozen in stillness. 。Jiang Yan speculated that this might be a parallel universe in a science fiction novel. She and the previous owner of this space accidentally touched upon an interstellar channel leading to this mysterious planet due to some coincidence. 。Lost in thought, Jiang Yan shook his head gently, a smile playing on his lips. 。In this strange world, she wielded her psychic powers to almost play the role of a creator. 。She meticulously planned at the foot of the mountain, with precious jewels hidden within the villa. The rest of her belongings were arranged in an orderly fashion, resembling a miniature city. 。During the sorting process, Jiang Yan was surprised by the abundance of his harvest, as if he had gathered enough resources to establish a base. 。ragon Ball.After many attempts, she found that the small balls seemed to be related.When she took out four orbs and compared them to the dragon balls on the box, she found that their patterns were exa...
