After the Earthquake of Rebirth

Ning Qiyan woke up suddenly.

"Is that Du Cheng you?" Ning Qiyan asked softly, looked around, but found no figure of the man, couldn't help laughing at himself, but froze in the next moment.

He looked up again and looked around.

Snow-white walls, bright lights, slowly flowing music...

Ning Qiyan blinked blankly, subconsciously clenched his hands, but was attracted by the strangeness in his hands.

a potato?

Looking up at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment again, Ning Qiyan raised his empty left hand and rubbed his brows.Said familiar, because this is what he bought after returning to D City as his and Du Cheng's home.Whether it's tables and chairs, electrical appliances, chandeliers, and switches, he spent countless weekends carefully selecting every part.It is unfamiliar, because after the earthquake, he and Du Cheng removed most of the furniture in order to have more food. The wooden floor was covered with thick soil, and potatoes and sweet potatoes were planted.It is no longer as clean and tidy as it was originally.

After calming down, Ning Qiyan tried to reach under the pillow to find the familiar mobile phone.

2016年1月28日01：33。

Ning Qiyan blinked, then glanced at the time displayed on the phone, and put down the phone.He wasn't sure if he was dreaming now.Or did he really go back three years ago?

Ning Qiyan didn't know what to do now, after thinking about it, he picked up the potato that he had been holding in his hand and looked it over carefully.

After watching it for about a minute or so, I couldn't see anything special. Ning Qiyan was about to give up, but the originally dirty potatoes gradually turned into a lustrous white jade color, and there seemed to be something wrapped in the middle.

Ning Qiyan took a deep breath, got up and walked quickly into the study, and took out the magnifying glass.Under the magnifying glass, the center of Baiyu Potato is a pocket version of a small farmyard.

What is this thing?Ning Qiyan was convinced that the potato in his hand was indeed the touch of a potato at first, but now it has turned into a warm jade.

Just as he was thinking, Ning Qiyan found himself in a courtyard in a flash.Next to the leg is a well made of tidy stones.The small yard was empty.The courtyard wall is not high, but the outside of the wall is gray, and it is impossible to see the scene outside the courtyard.

Ning Qiyan didn't know where this was, and he didn't know if he could leave.The next moment, he returned to the study.

Ning Qiyan felt that he was really dreaming, otherwise how could he explain that he suddenly appeared from Du Cheng's grave to his home three years ago, and then went to a strange yard from his home.

Thinking of the small courtyard just now, Ning Qiyan suddenly thought of the pocket farmyard in Baiyu Tudou.The white jade potato in his hand disappeared, Ning Qiyan tossed and turned and looked at his hand holding the potato in disbelief.After searching for a long time, it was confirmed that the white jade potatoes were indeed missing, but there was a light green sprout pattern on the back of his hand.

Ning Qiyan touched the buds, and he stood in the courtyard again.Repeat the experiment several times.Ning Qiyan was confused, maybe this is the legendary space?And his return to three years ago is the legendary rebirth?

Pulling out the pencil sharpener from the pen holder, regardless of whether it was dry or not, with a little force, the blade instantly cut through the fingertips.It is said that the ten fingers connect to the heart, but the sharp pain made Ning Qiyan laugh softly.

He never thought that one day he would use this method to test whether he was in a dream.He never expected that when he didn't want to live, he would go back to three years ago, before the earthquake happened, and even before Du Cheng was released from prison, there was an unknown space along the way.

The low laugh couldn't stop, and in the end Ning Qiyan laughed out loud.

He came back, before everything happened.He can continue to look forward to being with that silent man again.

Wait for the mood to calm down slowly.Ning Qiyan entered the space again, this time, he looked the space inside and out.The layout of the houses on the north side of the small courtyard is similar to that of the farmhouses in the northern countryside.A lobby with two rooms on both sides, one of which is an earth kang, plus two storage rooms.It's just that there is nothing else except the kang and the stove connected to the kang, so I have to add it myself.And the yard is more simply except for the three stone roads, the rest is land.But Ning Qiyan thought about it, this is also good, it is convenient to re-plan.

Seeing the situation of the space clearly, Ning Qiyan sat down at the desk, flipped out the passbook from memory, and began to count the savings in his hand.Back then, he left here with 180 million yuan. Leaving aside the seven-year undergraduate and master's expenses, he made a small investment based on the news of his classmates.When I returned to City D two years ago, I got back 7 million.However, buying a house and decorating directly cost more than 270 million yuan, and the remaining money plus the salary for the past two years is about 170 million yuan.Say more, not more, say less, not less.It should be almost time to prepare for the end of the world.

Originally, Ning Qiyan did not reinvest the money, but planned to let Du Cheng do some small business after he was released from prison.Regardless of whether it is true or not, there is no way to cover up the criminal record in Du Cheng's file, and Ning Qiyan does not want Du Cheng to be looked at with colored eyes.

The plan did not change quickly, and I am afraid that all the money will be invested in preparations before the earthquake.Thinking of Du Cheng's refusal to use the money before he was reborn and until the earthquake.After the earthquake, no amount of money can be spent.

After writing down the list of materials that need to be prepared in advance, the sky outside the window is already bright.Ning Qiyan was fortunate to have an unknown space.Otherwise, even if he knew about the disaster three months later and prepared supplies, there would be no safe place for him to store them.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Ning Qiyan got up and walked to the kitchen, found the ingredients from the refrigerator, and made himself a long-lost breakfast with jerky but satisfied.

The fragrant rice porridge, browned fried eggs, refreshing side dishes, and a sweet and crisp apple after the meal, Ning Qiyan took a deep breath in satisfaction.

In the first year after the earthquake, some food could still be picked up from the ruins of the city, plus the food stored by the state. Although it was not as good as before the earthquake, various tastes could still be tasted.But by the second year, no food could be found in the ruins, and the country's reserves were about to run out.Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other foods that can be grown in harsh climates are almost the only ones that can be imported.The wild vegetables on the mountain were picked clean as soon as they emerged, and the wild animals were almost eaten by people.There are no condiments other than table salt, which is regularly formulated by the government.Back then, eating was just to live.

"I don't know if livestock can be raised in the space, otherwise, even if there is space, Du Cheng won't be able to eat meat for long." Ning Qiyan rubbed his stuffed stomach and muttered to himself.

Since he was a child, Du Cheng has always liked meat, and nine years of prison food did not erase his attachment to meat.

Thinking back to his memory, Du Cheng, who had just been released from prison, didn't care much about what he wore, but only required three meat dishes for each meal.Ning Qiyan smiled lightly.
