Chapter 175 Goods Doubled
Xue Ruanruan is an ordinary girl, but she has a secret—she possesses a magical spatial jade pendant. She has worn this pendant since childhood, always finding it special, but only recently discovered its true purpose. It turns out that the pendant hides a vast space within, capable of storing all sorts of items and resources. This space can not only store necessities like food and water, but also cultivate various plants and raise animals. Furthermore, the space within the pendant has some special functions, such as accelerating plant growth and increasing animal reproduction rates. Xue Ruanruan is incredibly excited about this new discovery, as the spatial jade pendant means she possesses limitless possibilities. From then on, she begins to utilize the space within the pendant to solve problems in her life, gradually mastering more about its uses. As time goes on, Xue Ruanruan realizes that the pendant's existence might bring her trouble. Therefore, she decides to keep this secret from everyone. But fate always seems to enjoy playing tricks on people; just when she thought everything would return to normal, a sudden disaster struck…
The space is vibrant with life, various plants growing vigorously and exuding a refreshing fragrance. In the rice paddies, heavy ears of rice bend low, presenting a golden scene of abundant harvest. On this fertile land, farmers work diligently, piling up the harvested rice into mountains, filling spacious granaries. This grain not only satisfies people's hunger but also provides a solid guarantee for future livelihoods.
She decided to personally escort provisions to the frontier to support her father and brothers who were guarding it. She knew the importance and danger of this mission, but she embarked on this arduous journey without hesitation. Carrying sufficient food and supplies, she prepared to face the challenges of the frontier alongside the soldiers. Along the way, she endured harsh weather, rugged terrain, and potential enemy attacks, but she remained steadfast in her beliefs and never wavered. Upon finally reaching the frontier, she received a warm welcome from her father, brothers, and soldiers. They were grateful for her arrival and expressed their heartfelt thanks for the provisions she had brought. In the days that followed, she worked alongside her father and brothers to safeguard the frontier.
The army's rations were already running low, and now a heavy snowfall blanketed the world in white. Looking at the harsh weather and dwindling food supplies, the soldiers felt a growing sense of unease. They knew that if things continued this way, survival would become increasingly difficult.
Every winter, the grass on the grasslands withers, and cattle and sheep lack sufficient food, making life difficult for the Turkic people. To survive, they had to take action. Thus, every winter, the Turks would organize large-scale armies to march south. These armies were usually led by experienced generals, and the soldiers, on horseback and armed, traversed the cold grasslands and mountains to reach the Central Plains.
Once they entered the Central Plains, the Turks began burning, killing, and looting. They attacked villages and towns, plundering food, property, and people. Many innocent people lost their lives, their homes were destroyed, and their property was looted. They also burned houses and destroyed farmland, causing immense suffering and loss to the local inhabitants.
Such actions not only harm individuals but also severely impact social order. Massive casualties lead to a reduction in the labor force, hinder agricultural production, and plunge the economy into crisis. Simultaneously, social order deteriorates, people live in fear, and are unable to work or live normally. Furthermore, war can incite ethnic hatred and conflict, exacerbating social instability.
Faced with Turkic invasions, the Central Plains dynasties often had to invest substantial resources in responding. This included strengthening border defenses, dispatching troops to resist, and organizing civilian self-defense. However, due to the Turks' high mobility and familiarity with the terrain, defense was extremely difficult. Furthermore, prolonged warfare depleted the nation's resources and negatively impacted national development.
My father not only had to protect the country's territory, but also constantly pay attention to the living conditions of the people. He frequently went among the common people to understand their hardships and provide help and support. Sometimes, he would generously use his own salary to help impoverished families through difficult times; other times, he would personally participate in the farm work, working alongside the farmers to ensure a bountiful harvest. He deeply understood that only when the people lived happy lives could the country truly prosper. Therefore, he worked tirelessly and silently gave his all.
Her space was stockpiled with mountains of grains and medicinal herbs, the sheer quantity of which was astonishing. The grains exuded a faint fragrance of rice, each grain plump and full, as if containing endless vitality; while the precious medicinal herbs emitted a rich aroma, some with thick roots and stems, others with tender green leaves, each plant displaying its superior quality.
The grains and medicinal herbs were neatly piled together, forming huge stacks that resembled a treasure trove, waiting to be discovered and utilized. Some of the grains had already been processed into dried rations for easy carrying and consumption, while others remained in their original state, ready for cooking or making other foods. As for the medicinal herbs, they had been carefully selected and categorized, arranged according to their different effects and uses, for easy access at any time.
These provisions and medicinal herbs are not only her guarantee of survival but also vital resources for her future development. In this world full of dangers and challenges, having enough food and medicine means being better able to cope with various difficulties. These supplies can also be used to exchange for needed items with others or to help others overcome hardships. Therefore, she is incredibly proud of her space and determined to protect it well, making it the strongest support on her path forward.
Xue Ruanruan stepped into the space, and the scene before her filled her with immense shock and excitement. She saw herds of cattle and sheep grazing and playing freely, like a vibrant painting. Each cow was strong and plump, with soft, white wool; each sheep was lively and adorable, with wool as pure as snow.
Looking further into the distance, there stretched an endless expanse of rice paddies, the golden ears of rice drooping heavily, resembling a golden ocean. A gentle breeze rustled the rice, making a soft, whispering sound that conveyed the joy of harvest. Xue Ruanruan couldn't help but recall her childhood memories of accompanying her grandfather to the fields to harvest rice. Back then, she was always full of curiosity, asking questions and filled with awe for nature.
Standing before this golden rice paddy, a surge of inexplicable emotion welled up within her. Everything here was so beautiful, free from the hustle and bustle of the city and pollution, only fresh air and tranquil rural scenery. Xue Ruanruan took a deep breath, savoring the fragrance of rice in the air, feeling exceptionally relaxed and at ease.
Space is a mysterious and wondrous realm, filled with endless possibilities and unknown wonders. In this unique dimension, time and space seem to lose their original definitions, and everything becomes distorted and deformed.
Entering this space is like stepping into a dreamlike world. Here, there is no gravity to bind you, allowing you to fly freely; there are no distance limitations, enabling you to traverse thousands of miles in an instant. Objects within this space can freely change shape and size, even disappearing or reappearing. This magical transformation is utterly breathtaking and awe-inspiring.
Within this space, various peculiar energy fields and magnetic fields exist. These energy fields may influence human thought and perception, causing hallucinations or the experience of supernatural forces. At the same time, countless secrets and mysteries are hidden within this space, waiting to be explored and unraveled.
Space is not only a field of scientific research, but also a frequent subject of science fiction novels and films. It inspires human imagination, filling us with boundless anticipation and longing for the universe and the future. Perhaps one day, we will truly be able to unravel the mysteries of space and achieve travel and exploration beyond time and space.
He never imagined he would see the Regent again. In his past life, it was this very Regent who had saved him. At that time, she was being chased by a group of thugs and, with nowhere to run, had no choice but to jump off a cliff. She thought she was going to die, but unexpectedly, the Regent suddenly appeared and rescued her from the cliff.
"Thank you so much, Regent, for saving my life!" she said, tears streaming down her face. The Regent smiled and waved his hand. "No need to be so polite, it was just a coincidence. But why were you being chased?" His gaze was sharp, as if he could see right through her.
Xue Ruanruan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth, "I possess the secret of the spatial jade pendant, and they want to steal it from me." A hint of surprise flashed in the Regent's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "A spatial jade pendant? Such a treasure exists in the world." He stroked his chin thoughtfully.
“Young lady, this jade pendant is of great importance and must not be shown to others lightly. If you trust me, you may entrust the jade pendant to me for safekeeping, and I will certainly protect you.”
Xue Ruanruan gritted her teeth. She knew that the person in front of her was of noble status and had immense power. He was probably the most reliable candidate at the moment. "Then I will trouble the Regent."
The Regent took the jade pendant and carefully put it into his pocket. "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter as soon as possible and give you justice."
A hint of surprise flashed in the Regent's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "A spatial jade pendant? Such a treasure exists in the world. Rest assured, I will ensure your safety."
The regent glanced at her and said indifferently, "No need to thank me, it was just a small favor."
A flicker of despair crossed her eyes, her legs buckled, and she almost collapsed to her knees. Her voice trembled, choked with sobs, as she said, "But this is a life-saving grace for me!"
The regent frowned, seemingly impatient. He said coldly, "I told you, this is just a small favor."
She bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes. Her voice grew lower, tinged with despair, as she said, "But this is truly a life-saving grace for me..."
The Regent's eyes turned slightly cold, and his voice became even more indifferent as he said, "I told you, this is just a small favor."
Her tears finally streamed down her face, her voice filled with despair and helplessness as she said, "But this is truly a life-saving grace for me..." With that, she turned and left.
She had never seen the Regent since then. Only now had she seen him again.
She didn't know why, but she felt a surge of curiosity and gratitude towards the Regent. Perhaps it was because he had once saved her life, or perhaps it was because of a unique charm he possessed. In any case, she longed to know more about him.
“Ah Xun…” Ning Xinyao’s eyes were filled with gratitude and affection as she stared intently at the man before her. Murong Xun’s gaze softened as well, and he said softly, “I will not let anyone hurt you.”
Hearing this, Ning Xinyao was deeply moved. She knew that Murong Xun's love for her was selfless, and no matter what happened, he would stand by her side to protect her. Thinking of this, Ning Xinyao felt a surge of warmth and resolved to repay Murong Xun's kindness.
Reborn into this life, she will repay kindness tenfold. She will study diligently, improve her abilities, and help Murong Xun realize his dreams. At the same time, she will repay Murong Xun with her own love, making their love even stronger.
Murong Xun's expression was indifferent, his eyes cold. He stared silently at the falling snowflakes outside the window, as if isolated from the outside world. His gaze seemed to pierce through the swirling snowflakes, reaching into the distance. The snowflakes fell in a flurry, like white feathers dancing in the air. Murong Xun's mood, like the cold weather, was filled with loneliness and solitude. An indescribable sorrow welled up within him, as if he were the only person left in the entire world.
The General's Mansion was shrouded in an atmosphere of tension and anticipation. Members of the Xue family had gathered there, their eyes fixed on the tightly closed gate, eagerly awaiting the return of the eldest daughter of the Xue family.
Time ticked by, and everyone grew increasingly anxious. Finally, accompanied by the sound of hooves and wheels, a magnificent carriage slowly entered the manor gate. The curtain was lifted, and Miss Xue stepped out. She was dressed in a beautiful brocade robe, her face delicate and her demeanor elegant.
"Welcome back to the manor, Miss!" the clansmen shouted in unison. They surrounded Xue Ruanruan as they walked into the manor. Along the way, laughter and chatter filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere. Xue Ruanruan smiled and exchanged greetings with the clansmen, her eyes sparkling with confidence and determination.
Upon entering the hall, Xue Ruanruan went straight to the head seat and sat down. She looked around and her gaze fell on an elderly man.
"Grandfather, Ruanruan has lived up to your expectations and successfully brought back the grain and medicine," Xue Ruanruan said firmly. A gratified smile appeared on her grandfather's face.
