Chapter 25: The Computer Connects to Forty Years Later

Then she was stunned.

The familiar browser page made her scalp tingle and her mind go blank for a moment.

She could actually go online!

She took a few quick breaths, then her hand almost trembled as she started typing on the keyboard.

Then she pressed the search button with trembling fingers.

But the next moment, the image that appeared made her freeze again.

She searched for Lucky Farmstay.

This was the full name of her farmstay. She chose this name because she felt it was lucky to have the space.

But there was a lot of related information, and many pictures, but they looked so unfamiliar, and a little messy.

Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a piece of information, and she froze again.

Thinking of something, her hand trembled, and she quickly switched back to the desktop, looking at the lower right corner.

Then she was completely stunned.

2023/10/20.

How could…

She couldn’t believe it. She looked back and forth at the desktop time and the information time several times, and it was correct.

Why was this happening? The time was wrong.

She had the car accident in 2005.

How could it be 2023?

She couldn’t help but reach out and pull at her hair.

After being stunned for a while, she switched back to the page and searched for Qin Zhiyi’s name.

This time, the first result on the search page was Qin Zhiyi’s introduction.

The first thing she noticed was his title.

Qin Zhiyi, still in military uniform, was much older, and his expression was still serious.

Then she looked at his introduction.

Xu Sangluo curled her fingers, then slumped back in her chair, sighing helplessly.

Time had actually passed to more than a decade after her death.

How could this be?

Was this the reason for her rebirth?

She was silent for a while.

Her fingers hovered over the keyboard for a few seconds, then slowly typed a few keywords in the search box: Lucky Farmstay Xu Sangluo car accident

Then she pursed her lips and pressed the search button.

This time, the results were much more precise.

The first result was a news report from CCTV.

Looking at the time, it was indeed news from 2005.

After reading several news articles, she suddenly felt a mix of emotions.

Some of these news articles were straightforward reports about her and the farmstay.

Some were emotionally charged descriptions of her life.

Some were just random compilations of her feuds.

She also pieced together the development after her death.

It was roughly like this: After her car accident, the country launched an investigation.

Because she had the car accident abroad and was involved in many national projects, the authorities initially suspected foreign forces.

In order to force foreign forces to assist in the investigation, the authorities announced her true work and the background of the farmstay.

At that time, many drugs that treated various diseases on the market were related to the materials she provided.

So even though she was just a material provider and didn’t participate in the research, she was portrayed as a crucial scientist by the country.

Many people were outraged and shouted online for an investigation into her death.

Foreign forces, in order to clear their names, had to cooperate with the investigation.

The investigation led to Liu Xiuhua and Xie Huai’s involvement.

Now, foreign forces had something to say. They demanded that China give an explanation.

In addition, researchers discovered that the organisms in the farmstay had lost the active substances they had before, and they were similar to current organisms.

It seemed that those magical things had disappeared with Xu Sangluo’s death.

The authorities were almost furious.

Under these circumstances, it was imaginable what the fate of the culprits would be.

Not only the mother and daughter, but also Xie…

The Zhao family, the Liu family, and Liu Xiuhua’s relatives were almost all affected.

Some were imprisoned, while others fell into poverty.

It has to be said that she felt a little bit of satisfaction seeing their fate.

She continued to search for more information, and she found a lot of follow-up news.

The inheritance of the farmstay went to her uncle in a foreign country, and then it was bought by Qin Zhiyi.

It was eventually built into a manor.

Qin Zhiyi retired in 2023 at the age of 65 and moved into the manor, which attracted a lot of media attention.

Xu Sangluo felt a mix of emotions.

Qin Mama had passed away, and he was still alone.

She searched for information about other people.

Xie Huai’s book and Liu Xiuhua hired a hitman to kill, and Xie Feng acted as an accomplice.

All three were sentenced to life imprisonment.

Xu Sangluo was quite satisfied with this verdict, and she even wanted to praise the judge.

Death was a release, while living was the real torture.

Xu Sangluo stayed in the office until she noticed the movement outside, then she reluctantly gathered her thoughts and left the space.

She opened the door and saw Qin Zhifeng standing outside with a cheerful expression.

“What’s wrong?”

“Sister Sangluo, I made two new designs myself. Do you think I can sell them?”

He spread out his palm, showing off with a look of anticipation.

His sunny and energetic smile instantly dispelled the lingering shadows of the past in Xu Sangluo’s heart.

She laughed and reached out to take a look.

Qin Zhifeng had made a hair clip and a headband.

The hair clip had a thumb-sized, cloth-like doll on it, looking like a cat or a dog.

Although it was a bit rough, it was also interesting.

The headband was the most common kind, but it also had a standing rabbit doll sewn on it, about two thumbs in size.

It was similar to the doll headbands in later generations, but its function was too ordinary.

They were all made of scraps of cloth.

“The idea is good. If you can make it more delicate, it should be popular with girls. But it must be very time-consuming to make this kind of thing, right?” she reminded him tactfully.

Qin Zhifeng’s bright eyes dimmed a little, and he nodded dejectedly, “Yes.”

Xu Sangluo was amused by his dejected puppy-dog look and couldn’t help but reach out and rub his head.

“The creativity is good. It’s just that we lack time and tools now. When we earn more money later, we can buy a sewing machine and make them. They will definitely sell well then.”

“Really?” Qin Zhifeng’s eyes lit up again.

“Of course, when have I ever lied to you?”

Qin Zhifeng immediately grinned foolishly, “Never.”

“So there you have it.”

With confirmation, Qin Zhifeng became excited again, and then he ran back to the main room like a playful puppy, chattering away.

Xu Sangluo watched his back and shook her head with a smile, then went back to her room.

After being interrupted by Qin Zhifeng, her mood was much brighter.

She no longer thought about the past. She took out the things she had made from her space and continued with her handicrafts.

She went back to her space and searched for some fancy handicraft instructions on the computer.

She actually found a lot of new designs.

She liked one of the knitted items.

Knitting was also very diverse, but the various stitches were a bit complicated.

Thinking that winter was coming soon, maybe she could make some warm and beautiful knitted items.

Like gloves, scarves, hats, sweaters, and so on.

Looking at the dazzling array of knitted items in the pictures, she couldn’t help but smile.

In the evening, Qin Zhiyu ran back as soon as school was over.

Qin Zhiyu had been thinking about it all day and, for once, didn’t do her homework. She came back early.

Then, when she heard about today’s earnings, she was also stunned for a long time.

Qin Zhiyi arrived home at 6:30 pm as usual.
