Suddenly, a dog barked in the yard. From the cheerful sound, Meng Yunshu could tell that the owner had returned. Meng Yunshu suddenly became flustered and didn’t know how to face it. He stared at the door with his eyes wide open. His heart was beating fast, his hands in the quilt were clenched into fists nervously, and even his breathing became lighter.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer until the door was pushed open from the outside. Facing the light, he saw the person come in.
The man was tall and almost blocked the door. He wore a pair of gray shorts and his hair was tied into a bun on top of his head. There was a scar extending from his forehead to the end of his eyebrow. Meng Yunshu’s eyes flashed and happened to meet the man’s calm eyes. Although his face was upright, the scar on his face and his aura made people feel ferocious.
Meng Yunshu lowered his eyes in panic, hiding the uneasiness in his eyes. Is this the person that bought him?
The two wolfhounds at home followed the footsteps of their master and came in with him. The blue-gray wolfhound shook its tail and rubbed his hand with its head. The other black big dog smelled the breath of a stranger in the air, raised its nose slightly, and approached the kang to look at Meng Yunshu.
The sudden dog head frightened Meng Yunshu so much that his body tensed up. He lay straight on the kang like a piece of wood, not daring to move, for fear that the big black dog would run up and bite him.
“Dahei.”
Hearing the voice of his master, Dahei sniffed Meng Yunshu’s scent carefully again before it turned around and ran over to squat obediently at his feet.
Meng Yunshu on the kang breathed a sigh of relief. His hands hidden in the quilt were sweaty. He was nervous and scared just now, and didn’t see the man’s face carefully. Now he was embarrassed to look at it, so he could only stare at the quilt.
Yu Jinhuai didn’t expect Meng Yunshu to wake up so quickly. Seeing his panic-stricken look, his eyes were dark and unclear, and he felt uncomfortable. Sure enough, few people were not afraid of him like this. The gentle expression on his face became cold and hard. He restrained the smile on the corner of his mouth and walked to the kang with his little nephew in his arms.
Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Meng Yunshu almost forgot to breathe for a moment, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold.
Yu Zhining sensitively noticed something was wrong. Recalling what his uncle said to him on the road, he lowered his eyes and turned his almond eyes, and was the first to speak to break the atmosphere in the room.
“Hello, uncle, I am Yu Zhining.”
A soft voice sounded from his ears. Meng Yunshu came back to his senses and looked up to notice that the man was holding a child in his arms. He looked about two or three years old, with a red mole between his eyebrows. He was a ger. Although there was not much flesh on his face, he looked very good. It can be seen that his parents took good care of him. At this time, his round almond eyes were looking at him curiously.
Meng Yunshu couldn’t help but smile, and said in a gentle tone, “Hello, Ning ger.”
Children are the most sensitive. He could sense Meng Yunshu’s affection for him. He hugged Yu Jinhuai’s neck and buried his head in it. He wanted to get close to Meng Yunshu but was afraid that Meng Yunshu would dislike him. He was very conflicted.
Yu Jinhuai stroked Yu Zhining’s hair, lowering his eyes slightly. He was not much different from a child-loving person.
The quiet man in the room moved away in a panic when Yu Jinhuai looked over.
Yu Jinhuai put Yu Zhining on the kang, and took the two dogs out of the house. The moment he closed the door, he heard the conversation between his nephew and Meng Yunshu. Looking at the green mountains in the distance, he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
After a while, the person who had just left came in with a bowl. As he got closer, Meng Yunshu could smell the strong smell of Chinese medicine in the air. As early as Yu Jinhuai brought the medicine in, Yu Zhining ran to the innermost part and turned his head away in disgust.
“Drink the medicine.” Yu Jinhuai said expressionlessly, without a single ups and downs in his tone.
Even if Meng Yunshu didn’t want to drink the Chinese medicine, he knew that he had to drink it now. He smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t have the strength.”
Hesitantly asked, “Can you help me up?”
Yu Jinhuai sat down, changed the medicine bowl to his other hand, and carefully helped Meng Yunshu up. His big palm touched Meng Yunshu’s body and he was a little stiff. Yu Zhining ran over and put a pillow behind Meng Yunshu for him to lean on.
After sitting down, Meng Yunshu picked up the medicine bowl, smelled the bitter medicine, and took a sip.
“Thank you.”
Yu Jinhuai said, “You are my husband.” You’re welcome.
Meng Yunshu actually heard the hidden meAh Ning. It turned out that he was already the husband of the man in front of him. He couldn’t tell what he felt in his heart. He glanced at Yu Jinhuai silently. He saw the tension and the almost non-existent expectation in the man’s eyes. After a while, he nodded, which was considered to be a response to his words that he was the husband of the man.
After lying down for a day, Meng Yunshu refused Yu Jinhuai’s offer to help him lie down, and sat on the kang with his pillow. He watched the man bring things in from outside again and again.
The cabinet at the end of the kang was opened, with quilts at the bottom and clothes on top. He watched Yu Jinhuai take out a quilt from it, put new clothes, some scraps of cloth and a few rabbit skins in a small compartment beside it.
After everything was packed up, Yu Jinhuai closed the cabinet, took off his shoes and got on the kang.
Meng Yunshu’s eyes followed him while he was doing everything. His eyes never left him even when he was talking to Yu Zhining in a low voice. The kang was small, and it was barely enough to sleep upright, but Yu Jinhuai still warmed three quilts horizontally.
Seeing all this, Meng Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief. He had just been thinking about sleeping arrangements at night, and even if he had no choice, he still wanted to proceed step by step.
There were newly bought quilts on both sides of the kang, an old quilt in the middle, and a large thin quilt on top. Although winter had not yet arrived, it was not possible to cover yourself with only one quilt at night in Cangnan Village.
The room was connected to the kitchen. As long as you cooked, the kang would be warm. It was very comfortable to sleep on it in cold weather. The place next to the kang cabinet was right in front of the pot. It was the warmest, so Yu Zhining slept there.
Yu Jinhuai considered Meng Yunshu’s health and wanted to let him sleep next to Yu Zhining, while he slept near the window. Considering that Yu Zhining was still young, he gave up the idea.
He’ll wait for a while, until Ah Ning and Meng Yunshu are familiar with everything.
The sun was setting, and the birds flew back to their nests. The two wolfhounds in the yard were lying by the door and humming. Yu Jinhuai glanced at them and said, “I’ll go cook.”
Meng Yunshu patted his clothes and followed him off the kang, holding his medicine bowl in his hand, “I’ll help you.”
“No need.” Yu Jinhuai turned around and took the bowl from him, and stepped out of the door. Meng Yunshu, who was left standing, looked at his empty hands and the closed door, not knowing what to do.
Yu Zhining sat on the quilt, licking the maltose slowly. This morning, Yu Jinhuai went to the county and did not light a fire, so the quilt was not hot, but it was warmer than the yard.
After being rejected, Meng Yunshu had to sit back on the kang and talk to Yu Zhining.
From the conversation, he knew that the two big wolf dogs at home, the blue-gray one was called Daqing and the black one was called Dahei, were brought from the hunter’s house last spring. They were very well-behaved and were the best at guarding the house. Sometimes Yu Jinhuai would take them with him when he went hunting in the mountains.
Farmers eat simple meals at night. Most people in the village eat two meals a day, but the Yu family eats three meals a day. This is because Yu Zhining is weaker than other children and cannot eat meat because of mourning.
There is a small window on the wall between the kitchen and the room. It was already there when mother and father Yu were still alive. At this time, the window was pushed open. Yu Jinhuai handed it to Meng Yunshu but when serving the egg soup, Yu Jinhuai frowned slightly. He glanced at Meng Yunshu’s figure, and closed the window.
When Meng Yunshu put down the pastry in his hand, Yu Jinhuai had already come in from outside.
A bowl of egg soup, a pastry, a bowl of millet porridge, and a plate of pickles are today’s dinner.
Meng Yunshu scooped up the egg soup, blew it, took a sip, and his eyes brightened a little. It was sweet.
Yu Jinhuai, who was watching him from the corner of his eye, saw his actions and couldn’t help but smile in his heart. He liked sweet things like Ah Ning.
After dinner, they finished the kitchen work and had a simple wash. The sun had already set and the room was dark. Meng Yunshu covered himself with a quilt. He touched the soft new quilt on his body, and thought about the dinner just now. He thought about Yu Zhining, about Yu Jinhuai beside him, and thought about his life before he traveled through time.
The warm quilt and the kang made him a little absent-minded. Maybe he could have a home of his own here. He longed for the days when his family lived together.
Although he had a home for a short time, it was precisely because of this that he wanted a home of his own more than others.
“Yu Jinhuai.”
A voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, interrupting Meng Yunshu’s thoughts. He turned his head and looked over, asking blankly: “What?”
“My name is Yu Jinhuai.” Yu Jinhuai repeated.
His voice was very low. Considering the sleeping Yu Zhining, he lowered his voice. At this moment, the hoarse and magnetic voice sounded from beside him, making Meng Yunshu’s ears hot. He heard himself say: “My name is Meng Yunshu.”
Sleepiness came over him. Meng Yunshu closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The moon was at its zenith, and when the moonlight shone on him, he was pulled into another space.
Meng Yunshu, who was sleeping, felt his feet empty. He fell straight down as if he was weightless, which frightened him and he opened his eyes immediately.
When he opened his eyes again, there was a tightly closed door in front of him. Through the glass on the door, he saw a whole row of empty shelves inside, with nothing on them. In front of it was a wooden cabinet, and on the far left was a computer, and next to the computer was a pot of cactus.
Meng Yunshu looked at the familiar computer and cactus, and his eyes widened in shock. Weren’t those the computers and cactus in his own home in modern times? He took a step back, wondering where this place was?
After taking a few steps back, he looked to the right and saw a sign hanging on the door on the other side. The wooden sign read “Plane Store”.
Before he could continue to look, an electronic sound rang out in the space.
——The plane store has been activated;
——Please read the store owner’s instructions;
——Please find the key to open the store door and start business, limited to twelve hours;
——The countdown begins;
As the electronic sound fell, Meng Yunshu finally figured it out. This space is the plane store, and he is the owner of the store. He needs to purchase goods every day and trade with people from other planes. Not only that, he also needs to grow crops on the land behind to earn money for purchasing goods. Of course, he can also take out what he grows. There are requirements for taking out the things in the store.
More importantly, the money in the store can be converted into real silver.
Another point is that his life is linked to the store. Ten reputation points can keep his body healthy. Of course, the time limit is seven days. After seven days, he will be like a vegetable and unable to move. He can only survive when the store is operated to level 60.
After understanding, Meng Yunshu realized that the most important thing now was to find the key to open the store. Only after the store was opened could he continue with the next thing.
Recalling everything, Meng Yunshu was more determined to find the key, but where should he find the key?
The system gave a hint: a gift from his family.
Meng Yunshu muttered in confusion. He didn’t know that Yu Jinhuai, who got up at night, saw him disappear.
