Chapter 60: Magical Space

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Jiang Xia woke up in the middle of the night due to the pain of her injury. Both Xiao Gu and her injuries were wrapped with bandages. To prevent Xiao Gu from moving around, they used the method of treating fractures when bandaging her. Her arms were fixed to her chest but it still hurt so badly when she tried turning around.

There was no way for them to get painkillers for her at this point so Xiao Gu could only try to endure it.

Seeing that her family was still asleep, Jiang Xia carefully got out of bed and walked to the courtyard.

There no was such thing as a street lamp or driving cars in the 1960s. Under the moonlight, Jiang Xia walked to the wooden bench in the courtyard and sat down.

She was getting worried that they will have lesser food for the days to come. Even if they had food, they had to keep it lowkey to prevent attracting the attention of others.

Jiang Xia looked at the starry sky and was worried. Should she be more selfish?

Suddenly, Jiang Xia almost cried out loud as she was patted on the back.

…..

“Why are you not in bed? It is the middle of the night.” Jiang Chuan sat beside Jiang Xia and looked at the sky.

“Dad, have you thought about how we’re going to live our lives in the future?”

Jiang Chuan could hear the disappointment in his daughter’s voice, “Xiao Xia, are you afraid?”

Jiang Xia looked into the distance and said, “Dad, our current era is very similar to the Great Famine.”

From Jiang Xia’s memory, they should be in the second year of the famine. Last year’s grain production decreased, and this year, the farmers don’t have much grain in their hands.

If this really developed the way she remembers, there will not be food this autumn harvest too. Next year, things will end up so bad, cannibalism will occur.

Jiang Xia’s voice was very low, and Jiang Chuan’s heart twitched when he heard it.

He couldn’t blame his daughter for being in a bad mood since he felt the exact same way.

“In our world, after the famine broke out on a large scale, the country began to introduce policies to distribute land to farmers and let them go up the mountains to open up wasteland. Many people starved to death when they opened up wasteland.”

Jiang Chuan’s body trembled. He hadn’t thought about those things before as he was only concerned about what was happening in front of him. But now that Jiang Xia had explained all the possible difficulties that they might encounter, he couldn’t stop thinking about them.

“Xiao Xia, do you have any ideas?”

Jiang Xia shook her head. They had very few things now and private transactions were prohibited. This alone had cut off the livelihood of many people.

In addition to the inconvenience of transportation, the villagers were trapped in a small mountain village. If the situation remained like that, the villagers would be stuck here and most of them would starve to death.

“It’s not easy for people to live in this world.” Jiang Chuan sighed as he spoke, “By the way, how are the fruits you planted in the space?”

Jiang Xia had never noticed the crops she planted. She only focus on getting water every time she entered the space. In fact, she had yet to see what the land really looked like.

“I’ll go take a look.” After saying that, Jiang Xia entered her space.

She had always entered her space when it was daytime and she could not get used to the fact that it is dark now.

She first went to the river to drink two mouthfuls of water and immediately felt the pain in her shoulder ease.

She and Jiang Gu did not drink much water as It would be too strange if they got better all of a sudden.

When Jiang Xia turned around and walked towards the land, she suddenly noticed that there was still a rabbit and three sheep that had not been dealt with. Their feet were tied up by willow branches. Not only did they not starve to death, they still manage to gain a lot of weight.

Jiang Xia circled around the three animals in surprise. They were lying lazily around without even lifting their eyelids.

After seeing the animals, Jiang Xia went to look at the crops. The seeds buried in the soil had already sprouted and it looked like they were growing well.

She then remembered that she had not watered them in a long while and quickly scooped some water and watered the seeds.

Jiang Xia was so shocked when she saw the crops growing at a very fast speed suddenly. Before she watered her crops, it seemed as if they were growing at a normal speed. However, once she poured her water, the crops grew crazily as if they had eaten fertilizers.

Jiang Xia was stunned when she saw the vines of the watermelon and strawberry growing rapidly.

What was going on? Sprouting and blooming in one go? What took other crops to grow in months, Jiang Xia water manage to make them grow in minutes.

Jiang Xia was completely dumbfounded as she stood there rooted to the ground. Everything felt like a dream she didn’t want to wake up from..
