章 11: The Wonderful Rules Of Space
編集者: Dragon Boat Translation
Cheng Ling and the others packed up until the moon was high in the sky.
At this moment, the horizon had just begun to turn slightly white.
It was the end of June. When the last quarter moon rose to the highest point, the sky would light up slightly, illuminating the whole world as if it was shrouded in a layer of dark green gauze.
This layer of serene sky concealed all the cruelty and suffering in the world. Cheng Erni happily covered the basket full of wolf meat with a grass curtain. After covering it, she suddenly turned to look down the mountain.
The lights in the direction of ping city at the foot of the mountain were dim. The scene of the deafening battle cries had disappeared without anyone noticing. Only the green shadow of the city could be seen under the hazy sky.
It was like the fireworks of the human world and the outline of a home. The illusion was very beautiful.
Cheng Erni was stunned. She didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment, but she suddenly blurted out, "It's all over. "
Yes, it had all ended.
Gritting her teeth, Cheng Dani picked up the two baskets on the ground and threw them on her shoulders.
It was already quite heavy, but she still had to bend down to pick up the bag on the ground.
Cheng Ling walked over and picked up the heaviest bag on the ground. Then, she also carried two baskets on her shoulders.
This weight did not seem to be much to her. Her strength had clearly improved compared to before. Soothing and peaceful energy was flowing through his limbs and bones. It was a wonderful feeling.
"Let's go," she said in a deep voice, "The soldiers might not be able to arrest all the intruders. If someone were to escape from the mountain, there might be soldiers chasing after them."
So don't think that the current calm is really calm. Danger often pretends to be calm.
Mu immediately carried a basket on her back and walked to the front.
There were three wolf skins in her basket, while the other two were in Cheng Erni's basket.
Mu carried a bundle in one hand and a vegetable knife in the other. She said, "Xiao Ling, let's cross this mountain. After daybreak, we'll rest at the other side where there's water."
Cheng Ling chose to bring up the rear and agreed.
And just like that, the mountain road continued.
When they reached the mountain's highest point, the four stopped for a while. Suddenly, they saw a red sunfish leaping out of the white horizon!
"It's morning already!" Cheng Erni shouted in surprise.
The sun had come out, and its rays dyed the sea of clouds. The dark red and light red flames burned on the horizon, as if the heavenly Palace was on fire. It was indescribably beautiful.
Cheng Erni suddenly tossed everything that was on her body to the ground and spread herself on a thin patch of grass on the top of the mountain. She was crying and laughing at the same time. "The sun has come out. I can see the sun again."
Mu's face darkened, and she was about to urge her to get up, but just as she was about to scold her, she was suddenly choked by the words "Today's sun."
The words of scolding turned into helplessness. "Alright, what do you think you are doing? Erni, get up, hold on a little longer, and rest when we reach the mountain. "
Cheng Erni's butt was as heavy as lead. She wiped her face and was about to cry again when Cheng Ling suddenly put down everything on her body.
"Mother, let's not rest for too long. We'll only stop for 15 minutes, okay?" Cheng Ling said.
As she spoke, she took out another piece of compressed biscuit from her bag.
"Gulp..."
She heard the sound of someone swallowing.
Cheng Ling and Mu Sanniang both looked at Cheng Erni, but Cheng Erni looked at Cheng Dani.
It turned out that the person who had swallowed her saliva was not Cheng Erni, but Cheng Dani!
Cheng Dani hung her head in shame, her thin, yellow face blushing.
After this, Mu didn't insist on leaving. She put down her things and took the water and hardtacks from Cheng Ling.
It was still a whole piece of compressed biscuit, which was broken into four small portions by Cheng Ling, one for each person.
Cheng Erni was eating the compressed biscuits and drinking water, but her eyes were fixed on the wolf meat in the basket. Her pupils were filled with the light of the meat.
"Xiao Ling," Mu Sanniang asked as she ate, "Do you have a lot of dry food like this in the bag you picked up?"
"There's still about ten pieces," Cheng Ling said. "Don't worry, Mother. It's enough for now. We still have plenty of wolf meat."
"The only thing is, we don't have much water. After we finish this, we have to find a new water source," she added.
As she spoke, her consciousness entered the small space and subconsciously counted the remaining compressed biscuits in the space.
There were originally 15 pieces of compressed biscuits, but they had already eaten two so far. Cheng Ling had also taken out a few pieces earlier, unwrapped them, and put them in her bag.
So, nine pieces of compressed biscuits should still be left in the space.
That's right. There were nine pieces left, that's right, but... Besides those nine intact compressed biscuits, another small piece of compressed biscuits stuck to it like a small tail. No, it was a small piece of compressed biscuit the size of a quarter. What was that?
At first, Cheng Ling suspected that her eyes were playing tricks on her, but her brain quickly gave her an answer.
This quarter of a piece of compressed biscuit was clearly the one she had eaten before!
So, in this small space of the backpack, the things that had been used could be regenerated?
Thinking of this, Cheng Ling's heart immediately jumped with joy.
She thought again, "There's only a quarter of an extra piece. Does this mean that only things I've eaten can be regenerated?"
But if that was the case, the extra biscuits in the boundless space should be half a piece, not a quarter...
After all, Cheng Ling had eaten a quarter of a piece yesterday and another quarter just now.
No, wait!
After thinking for a while, Cheng Ling finally understood.
First, the items in the space could probably be regenerated, but the premise was that the items had to be consumed by her before they could be regenerated. The items consumed by others could not be regenerated.
Second, there was a time limit for the items in the space to regenerate. This time limit must be at midnight?
She wasn't very sure yet, so she decided to confirm it tonight.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she was still pleasantly surprised.
Although this 'rebirth' seemed a little useless and a little stingy, if they used it well, their overall supplies would still increase.
One can't be insatiable, and this is already good enough.
Thinking of this, Cheng Ling took another sip of water and then covered the bamboo tube.
Seeing her mother and two sisters still carefully nibbling on the biscuits, she felt she couldn't waste time. So she walked a few steps away, chose a relatively flat place, and stood up again.
Tai Chi stance was the essential skill of her martial arts practice. Whether she could absorb the moonlight essence or not, she had to practice it diligently.
After practicing for a while, Cheng Ling discovered a new world.
