A Pleasant Surprise

In the midst of her confusion, Duan Yixin suddenly felt another severe headache. Feeling dizzy, she closed her eyes hard and groaned.

'Could there be a hidden disease in this body? It wouldn't be funny if I died of illness after only one day in this world.'

When she thought that there was something wrong with this body, the severe headache disappeared as if it had never appeared before. Duan Yixin opened her eyes again in confusion and saw a huge warehouse in front of her.

Looking at the warehouse, she felt a sense of familiarity. She thought for a moment and approached the box, only to find that she couldn't get close no matter how long she walked. Confused by what was happening, she blinked and the warehouse disappeared.

Looking at the dilapidated thatched house in front of her, she frowned and rubbed her forehead in confusion, "I should still be in the backyard. How did I end up in the front yard? Do I walk from the backyard to the front yard instead of approaching the warehouse?"

Just as she was thinking about the huge warehouse, she saw the warehouse appear in front of her again. This time, instead of approaching the warehouse, she thought, 'What should I do if I want to get closer to the warehouse?'

Thinking of this, she felt herself getting closer to the warehouse. At this point, Duan Yixin discovered that what was in front of the warehouse was not her body but her mind. She couldn't believe that such an illogical thing would happen to her. After calming down, Duan Yixin tried to use her mind to get into the warehouse and then looked around the inside.

After a period of wandering around, she found that the structure of the warehouse and everything inside seemed familiar. Her eyes suddenly widened in surprise when she saw the National Researcher Institute's emblem on each box.

"Aren't these boxes supplies prepared by the government and stored in the warehouse created inside the Liquid Chip?"

She thought for a moment and said in disbelief, "Could it be that Liquid Chip is the reason why I took over this body?"

Staring at the emblem thoughtfully, Duan Yixin made many guesses, but the only thing she could be sure of was that the Liquid Chip had been successfully integrated with her mind. Unfortunately, while the warehouse exists, another function of the Liquid Chip is lost. As for how she came to this world and took over this body, she had no idea.

Unable to find an answer, she decides to put this matter behind her mind for now. She went to the kitchen, boil a pot of water, and then took headache medicine. After that, she put the remaining headache medicine back into the warehouse with her mind.

Duan Yixin fell into silence as she watched the small pack of medicine in her hand disappear. It took her a long time to accept the fact that some things cannot be explained by science. With the existence of the warehouse, her chances of survival in this world are greatly increased.

Thinking this as a pleasant surprise, she returned to the bedroom and put the wooden box under the bed into the warehouse. Coming out of the bedroom, she looked at the sun hanging in the sky and guessed that it was almost noon.

She touched her belly, sighed, and went to get the bamboo basket, sickle, and small hoe. Fortunately, although there was nothing valuable in the house, there were some old farm tools and a pile of firewood left in the woodshed.

Duan Yixin put the tools into the bamboo basket and left her house. There was nothing in the house except a pile of firewood, so she didn't even bother to lock the door.

After walking for a while, she saw villagers carrying bamboo baskets returning from the foot of Yun Mountain. A villager saw her, smiled, and said, "Xin Niang, are you going to the mountain?"

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Duan Yixin stared at the middle-aged woman for a few seconds before realizing that 'Xin Niang' was the original owner's nickname. This is the title used by acquaintances to call young ladies who have not left the boudoir. Adding 'Niang' to the name shows their respect for the young ladies.

Duan Yixin nodded to the middle-aged woman and said politely, "Yes. I need to go gather some firewood and find some wild vegetables."

The middle-aged woman glanced at the sun and then at Duan Yixin's thin body and pale face. After thinking about it, she put down her bamboo basket and took out a bundle of firewood and a bunch of wild vegetables.

She handed over the firewood and wild vegetables to Duan Yixin and said, "Xin Niang, I still owe your grandfather some medical fee. Just treat these as me paying the overdue medical fee. When I make money, I will give you the rest."

Duan Yixin was a little surprised after hearing what the middle-aged woman said, but she still shook her head and said, "Since Grandpa didn't charge medical fees before, I shouldn't take these now. Madam, please take them back."

Hearing her speak so politely, the middle-aged woman thought to herself, 'Poor child. She really lost her memory. Without her fiancé and her memory, what should she do now? That young man from the Tang family is really not a good thing!'

Not knowing what the middle-aged woman was thinking, Duan Yixin smiled politely and said, "It's getting late. Madam, I will take my leave now."

Duan Yixin left before the middle-aged woman could say anything else. Looking at her thin back carrying a big bamboo basket, the middle-aged woman could only shake her head with pity and go home.

Following the small path toward the foothills of Yun Mountain, Duan Yixin came to the outskirts of the foothills of Yun Mountain after walking for more than thirty minutes. She looked around for a moment, then continued on her way. After walking for more than ten minutes, she met a group of children picking up firewood.
