portable space

After finishing the meal, the mother and daughter saw Zhang Taiping closing his eyes again. They quietly put away the dishes, gently closed the door and went out.

After the door was closed, Zhang Taiping opened his eyes again.

What he needs most now is not to rest, but to sort out the messy memories in his mind.

Rebirth may be a bad thing for others, but it is definitely a good thing for Zhang Taiping.

We are still in the year 2010. Fortunately, we are still on the earth and have not traveled to other messy eras or time and space. It is just from early summer to early autumn.

His body is only twenty-four years old, which is the age of a tiger and leopard. He is a little over 1.9 meters tall, almost two meters tall. His waist is round and his legs are thick. Just wherever he stands, he can give people a sense of oppression. In his early years, he practiced with his grandfather a few times.

Although his hands have become ineffective in recent years, his skills have not been lost. It is no problem to take care of four or five people.

You have a wife, a daughter, a house and land. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?

Especially the wife and daughter who the former bastard Zhang Taiping regarded as a burden. For Zhang Taiping, who had always longed for a home and family members as luxury goods in his previous life, this wife and daughter were God's best gifts.

A virtuous and beautiful wife, and a well-behaved and sensible daughter. If you didn’t know how to cherish and love Zhang Taiping in the past, it’s your own fault and you should not survive! Now I will cherish them, love them, and prevent them from being wronged or bullied.

After shouting like an oath in my heart, the guilt about my previous life also disappeared. I felt that my thoughts became clear for a while, as if the stone weighing on my heart was suddenly removed.

"From now on, they will be my wife and daughters, and this is my home. I also have a home." Zhang Taiping whispered with uncontrollable excitement in his chest.

After calming down, he smiled bitterly again.

It's true that the stall left over from its predecessor was really in bad shape.

Four years ago, the 20,000 yuan I borrowed from the village chief has not been repaid yet. The other people have also given me 10,000 yuan.

This money may not be considered money at all outside, and it may cost more than this for a meal. But in the eyes of farmers who rely on crops and fruit trees for income, it is a lot. At least in the eyes of the mute wife, this is already a huge amount.

Counted.

Although it is difficult to make money in the mountains, these accounts do not scare Zhang Taiping.

What troubles him is that he has lost all his credit and popularity. I believe that if he goes out to borrow money now, he may not be able to borrow even a dime even if he goes around the small village.

Who doesn't scold him behind his back as "a gambler and a lazy man"? No normal person wants to associate with him. Those who associate with him are those who have ulterior motives or are just the same thing.

"Alas" Zhang Taiping sighed, and said self-deprecatingly: "That's good, it won't expose any flaws when there are too many people coming and going."

Habitually, he put his hand on his chest, wanting to caress the jade pendant that had been with him for thirty years.

I grabbed it empty.

Suddenly I felt a chill in my body.

I remember that the jade pendant was worn between the eyebrows.

Touch your eyebrows with your hands and wrap a gauze ribbon around them.

He jumped up and jumped off the bed. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes and ran to the mirror.

There was an unfamiliar face in the mirror.

He has the appearance of a typical northern man, with a Chinese character face, a ring of stubble on his chin, and messy hair.

A white gauze band was wrapped around the forehead, which ruined the appearance of the entire face. It made the appearance that should have been rough and bold look like an Indian Asan.

Zhang Taiping was not in the mood to check these. He faced the mirror and slowly untied the gauze ribbon that had been wrapped many times.

The wound between the eyebrows was stuttered. I touched the black and purple scar with my hand, and felt no pain, but it was a little itchy. I rubbed it gently with my index finger, and the purple and black blood scab fell off, revealing half of the newly grown scar inside.

Transparent skin.

I looked carefully at the layer of translucent skin, and there was no trace of the jade pendant at all.

Just thinking about a piece of jade inside my head makes my scalp numb and my limbs cold.

Zhang Taiping's heart felt like it was being tightened, and he was in a state of confusion after the examination turned out to be fruitless.

This happens to everyone. Putting something that does not belong to you in your body, especially in your brain, will inevitably lead to panic.

Reluctantly, he looked in the mirror again, squinted his eyes, and stared hard at the new layer of translucent skin, trying to see through it.

At the moment when I was highly concentrated, the world suddenly started to spin, and then everything around me became gray.

The frightened Zhang Taiping relaxed and still stood in front of the mirror.

I turned around and looked around, and then at the light bulbs hanging on the roof. Everything was quiet, without any shaking. The sunlight filtered through the cracks in the window, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

After confirming that it was not an earthquake, Zhang Taiping breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyone who has experienced earthquakes in 2008 will be very sensitive to earthquakes. If there is a slight shaking, the first thing to consider is whether it is an earthquake.

What's more, since 2008, earthquakes of varying degrees have occurred frequently in China and around the world.

It is normal for Zhang Taiping to have such a reaction.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Zhang Taiping looked at his figure in the mirror. His body suddenly became stiff as if a body-fixing spell had been cast on him.

It wasn't an earthquake, it was the feeling just now... Even though it was still the end of summer, the sun was blazing in the sky, and it was extremely hot. Zhang Taiping still stood on his head with chills and his hair was straight.

After all, he was a Communist and firmly believed in materialism. That's why he didn't rush out of the room directly, but stood under the window and let the sunlight melt his frozen muscles.

They say curiosity killed the cat, and this statement is not an exaggeration at all.

The more scared I am, the more I want to find out what is going on.

Zhang Taiping stomped to the mirror again with all his body on guard. He stared at the center of his eyebrows and repeated the previous process.

As expected, when I concentrated my mind, the world started spinning again. Because I was mentally prepared, I was not scared this time.

The surroundings were gray, as if the heaven and earth were still in chaos. There was a light in the distance. Just when I thought about how to get close to that light, I suddenly appeared in a strange environment.

A semicircular light curtain is like a jade bowl upside down on the red and black soil.

Zhang Taiping, who seemed to understand something, could not suppress his excitement, his spirit relaxed again, and he was still in front of the mirror.

The first fear and fear had long been thrown away in the Kingdom of Java. I was so excited that my whole body trembled and I clenched my hands tightly.

If Zhang Taiping still doesn't understand what happened, then those years in his previous life at the starting point were really wasted.

It is clearly an independent space.

I closed my eyes and calmed down my turbulent mood. I entered the space again as it was.

The radiant screen covers the red and black land like a sky, isolating the gray color from the bright space inside.

There are about two acres of land in the screen, and the distance from the top to the ground is about 20 meters. There is a three-meter-square clear spring in the center of the ground, with water gurgling from the spring. The magic is that no matter how much water gushes out, the pool will remain the same.

There is no overflow, the pool is always full.

Zhang Taiping dispersed his energy and returned to the outside world. He already understood that this space existed in the jade pendant that disappeared in his mind.

It's a pity that I can't find the jade pendant. Just after I finished thinking about it, my eyebrows twitched, and the jade pendant exuded a milky white soft light and floated quietly in front of my forehead.

Zhang Taiping reached out to take the jade pendant and gently touched the center of his eyebrows with the back of his hand. Fortunately, there was no hole in it. When the light faded, Zhang Taiping held it between his fingers and played with it. The jade pendant looked ordinary, with nothing outstanding about it.

Only the word "longevity" appears on the back.

One side is "peace" and the other side is "longevity". The combination of peace and longevity.

Zhang Taiping did not dare to underestimate these four sons now. Thinking about it carefully, in his last life, apart from the energy absorbed by the jade pendant, which made him a human being and a ghost, he had never had any disease. Even the most common cold.

, diarrhea and the like have never occurred.

"In this case, then the word 'longevity' means longevity, or else it means thousand years, long life?" Zhang Taiping thought in amusement.

He focused his attention on the jade pendant. Sure enough, the whole person disappeared in the room.

It would be strange if people saw it and were not frightened to death. A living person disappeared out of thin air in broad daylight. No matter how strong the psychological endurance is, people cannot accept it.

Ripples rippled through the space, and Zhang Taiping's body appeared in the light screen.

Feeling the authenticity of the land, Zhang Taiping first ran towards the spring in the center of the land.

He squatted down and reached out to scoop up a stream of clear spring water. The crystal clear spring water had a strange luster, tempting Zhang Taiping to take a sip. The sweet and cool water flowed down his throat and bloomed in his stomach. A trace of coolness traveled throughout his body.

, the pores all over the body are opened, as if eating ginseng fruit.

The cold spring water suddenly sobered up the brain that had been numb due to excessive mental exertion.

He stood up, walked a few steps, and grabbed a handful of soil. Even Zhang Taiping, who had never farmed before, could tell that the soil was extremely fertile, and the crops he planted would definitely yield high yields.

Just like a king patrolling his territory, Zhang Taiping visited every inch of space.

Looking at the sky screen with flowing halo, Zhang Taiping stretched out his hand. It felt like it was wrapped in a ball of cotton. It was warm and soft and really comfortable. If he stretched out harder, it would feel like he was being hit on a rubber band.

, it was bounced back. It bounced back with as much force as it exerted. It was amazing.

The air in the light screen does not flow, so there is no wind. The temperature is about 20 degrees Celsius. The moist air soaks into the body, and the pores all over the body feel like exhaling, which makes it extremely comfortable.

There was no wind and no sound. Looking up at the gray outside the dome of light, it seemed quiet and mysterious.

I muttered silently in my mind and went out, the space changed, and I returned to the real world. The jade pendant was still lying in my hand.

Put the jade pendant close to your eyebrows, and the jade pendant disappears from your mind again.

Then, he took it out and put it back in. Just like a child getting a favorite toy, it kept switching between space and the outside world. It didn't stop until its head felt dizzy.

After it subsided, the gauze was wrapped around the forehead.

Although the wound had completely healed, he still chose to wrap it with gauze. When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. If you have never heard of this sentence, you should understand this truth. In just one day, such a serious wound actually recovered. In the eyes of ordinary people

It's a little too spooky.

He didn't want to be noticed by the relevant departments, even if the possibility was very small. He could still hide it as much as he could, after all, there was no big mistake in being careful.

I patted my feet and lay down on the kang again. I closed my eyes and recalled the experience just now, as if I was in a dream.

The jade pendant that he had carried with him for nearly thirty years turned out to be a mysterious space, and was the culprit of the strange disease that had tortured him for thirty years in his previous life.

"Blessings come from misfortunes, and misfortunes come from blessings." The motto of the cross summarized by our ancestors is vividly reflected in himself.

In the previous life, it was difficult to tell the difference between a human being and a ghost after being raped by a jade pendant. He was unable to marry, have children, and start a family. He was in his prime, full of energy, and ambitious, but he was as old as a flower that had been damaged by heavy rain.

However, God is fair, isn't it? Even the West has a saying, "When God closes the door, he will definitely open a window."

The debts of the previous life are now made up for in one go. A strong body, a pair of virtuous and well-behaved wives and daughters, and a mysterious space whose functions are yet to be explained in detail. Isn't that enough?

Enough, really enough.

"Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountain", "Wife and children are hot on the bed", isn't this the life that we longed for in the previous life?

After thinking about it, the exhausted Zhang Taiping fell into sleep. The smile at the corner of his mouth looked very soft on his rough face.
