Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 45 Cabbage in the Field

I don't know what kind of life she lived before. You'd think she was from a wealthy family, but how could they possibly let a little girl like her flee famine?

If it were a rural family, who could afford to raise such a lazy, good-for-nothing, and strong girl?

Strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual.

Look, she just woke up and lay down again. If her little mouth weren't covered by the headgear, she wouldn't stop talking all day.

Su Yue, lying on the cart, was not so sleepy as she had fallen asleep, and had even entered the space and transformed it into something else.

Once consciousness entered the space, the remaining bamboo house was still inaccessible; only the earthen blocks in the space had become larger, and another mountain had appeared.

The ripe grains and vegetables from the fields were harvested and stored in the warehouse. Even the chili peppers, sunflower seeds, tomatoes, and various fruits and melons found in the Herb Pavilion were ripe.

Su Yue also roasted some melon seeds in her space. The products from her space were really good; each seed was plump and there wasn't a single empty shell.

The joy of the harvest is overwhelming, the only downside is that we can't eat it all right now.

All of it was stored in the warehouse, and a new batch of seeds was planted. This time the land was larger, and there was not enough to eat if too much was planted. Su Yue only planned to plant corn and sorghum.

The trees were laden with ripe fruit, and many more had fallen to the ground, a sight that saddened Su Yue. She also discovered a magical place within the space.

Aside from the seeds and trees you plant, anything else placed near the bamboo house will quickly disappear.

It's like it's been eaten up by space, like a trash can.

Only when I felt tired did I bring my consciousness out of the space.

My back is aching from lying down again. I really want to go for a walk, but the scorching sun quickly dispelled that thought.

"Little girl, wake up! Look, isn't there a village ahead?" Old Luo, who had been driving the mule cart, thought Su Yue was still asleep, and his voice was so excited it was almost splitting.

"Calm down, calm down. You're getting on in years. What if you get too excited and collapse?" Su Yue stood on the cart, holding her hands up to her eyes as if using binoculars to look at the spot Old Luo was pointing to.

"It seems there really is a village there. You old man, your eyesight is pretty good."

Old Luo was focused on finding water and had no interest in arguing with Su Yue.

Old Luo slapped the mule's rump with joy. He had been worried sick all morning, fearing that if the mule ran out of water, it would be impossible to keep it. This little girl was so lazy; if he made her walk like the other refugees to escape the famine, she would probably be exhausted to death.

Great news! We can see the village now; at least we can save the mule.

When they arrived at the village, they realized it wasn't a village at all! It was more like a ghost village, terrifying!

Old Luo excitedly drove his mule to the village entrance, but it looked deserted, with no signs of recent habitation.

Before even entering the village, we found green bottle flies everywhere, even more than we saw on the corpses by the roadside.

The swarms buzzed and flew around the doors and windows of the houses as soon as you got close, and the whole village was filled with a stench that even wearing a hood couldn't hide.

Su Yue jumped off the cart and carefully examined the village. She noticed that not only were there many flies, but also many rats scurrying out whenever someone walked by or made a sound.

This village doesn't look like anyone still lives here, and the stench is unbearable! Ugh...ugh...Su Yue felt nauseous and wanted to vomit even through the hood.

"Maybe we shouldn't go in, ugh..." Su Yue pinched her nose and turned to Old Man Luo.

Old Luo also felt something was wrong. The smell was like a rotting corpse, and judging by all these greenbottle flies, there might be more than one corpse.

Just as the two were hesitating, they heard an even louder vomiting sound.

When Su Yue looked, good heavens, the mule had vomited from the fumes.

Knowing full well that it wasn't the right time to laugh, Su Yue couldn't help herself, hahaha... ugh... ugh...

Then she vomited too.

Thankfully, she took off the hood in time; otherwise, she would have vomited inside.

After vomiting, he didn't dare to rinse his mouth with water. He quickly put on a hood and endured the stench in his mouth as he ran to the village entrance. Only then did he manage to get water from his spatial dimension to rinse his mouth.

No matter what they said, Su Yue refused to go back in. Old Man Luo couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he had no choice but to compromise and set off to leave the village in his mule cart.

After walking a long way through the village, Su Yue still felt nauseous, and with the hot weather, she lay on the cart, unwilling to move at all.

Looking at the distressed Su Yue, Old Luo felt it was all his fault for insisting on going into the village to find water; he was really afraid the little girl would get sick.

He found a shady spot under a tree and stopped, then started pressing on acupoints on Su Yue's small hands to relieve her nausea.

Hey, you know what, after pressing like this, Su Yue felt like her stomach didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.

"Oh dear, old man, I'm afraid I'm getting sick! Oh dear, my stomach is so uncomfortable, I can't move at all, I feel like vomiting if I move, I don't even have the strength to fan myself, I'm such a poor little cabbage! Yellow in the field~ no one cares for me~" As she spoke, Su Yue began to sing in a weak and feeble manner.

Old Luo really wanted to cover the girl's mouth. What kind of nonsense was she singing? The voice was so soft, it felt like his ears were about to die.

To stop her from singing, he picked up a book from the cart and used it to fan her.

I must have owed you something in my past life.

Feeling quite pleased with herself, Su Yue actually fell asleep while lying down. She was probably too weak from vomiting earlier, and she was also exhausted from being stressed these past few days.

Old Luo only dared to stop his hand when he heard Su Yue's even breathing.

The little girl is pitiful; she was forced to flee famine at such a young age.

While Su Yue was asleep, Old Luo used a cart to block the refugees on the road and used the last bit of water to cook a pot of rice porridge for Su Yue.

During this time, they also drove away several refugees who wanted to rob them. Some who didn't dare to rob them stopped to rest and stared at the small pot of porridge, drooling.

Old Luo was genuinely worried that someone would come up and try to rob him, as more and more refugees stopped to look.

Once the rice in the pot had started to ripen, Old Luo would extinguish the fire, put the things on the cart, and drive off in his mule cart.

How can two-legged creatures outrun four-legged ones? Soon, those people were left far behind.

Perhaps the mule cart was going too fast, as it was shaking a lot, which woke Su Yue up.

Old Luo turned around and saw Su Yue, who had woken up. "Little girl, are you still feeling unwell? Have some porridge, I've made it for you."

This was the first time Su Yue had ever seen Old Man Luo so caring; she could hardly believe her eyes.

"Hey, where did this monster come from? Get off this old geezer, or I'll let you taste my big iron spoon and make sure you regret it."

Old Luo was completely bewildered. He thought the little girl was really sick, otherwise why would she have become stupid after waking up?
