Chapter 840: Chapter 842: Books to Read and Fruits to Eat—That’s Heaven

Gong Ruini couldn’t help but panic. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

The previously showy and excited Gong Ruini, who enjoyed having fruit to eat, couldn’t be even a bit showy now. All she could think about was whether her life was in danger.

Looking at the seedling in front of her, Gong Ruini felt as if her life was no longer as smooth sailing as before; it seemed like her luck had been completely used up.

Gong Ruini felt like the fate of dumplings brought a bit of misfortune, but no matter how miserable it was, she didn’t know what would happen next.

Gong Ruini could only adopt a bit of the Ah Q spirit, saying, "Hope I can eat the fruit borne by the space, otherwise it’d be a real loss."

If her mishap was indeed related to the fruit borne by the space, then this business deal would be a huge loss.

"Huh, why is there water in the well again?" Passing by the well, Gong Ruini habitually glanced down, and discovered a water reflection in it.

What’s going on? You should know, ever since she entered the space, she hadn’t seen the well containing water. Before, she even considered fetching some water from outside to pour in. Yet no matter how much water she poured, she stubbornly saw no water, and the well was dry.

How could there be water now? What’s going on, Gong Ruini was taken aback.

Then she incredulously glanced at the fruit sapling; could it be that these seedlings sprouting had something to do with the well water?

But why was there no well water when she fussed around before, and now without any fuss, there’s suddenly well water?

Gong Ruini found it very odd and couldn’t understand the reasons.

It was indeed peculiar, "Could it be related to the fog outside?" Whenever going in and out, there always were some gaps.

Could fog really make water appear in the well?

Gong Ruini found this explanation extraordinarily bizarre. She had experienced foggy days many times, even snowy and rainy days, yet stubbornly never saw well water.

But apart from this possibility, Gong Ruini really couldn’t think of anything else, "Could it be the fog here is different from outside?"

Apart from this possibility, Gong Ruini didn’t know how else to consider the matter.

"Forget it, why think so much? At least this land isn’t useless."

Gong Ruini excitedly went to fetch the prepared bucket to water the plants, "That’s why things need to be prepared."

The excitement Gong Ruini felt, when initially discovering no well water, she was angry enough to want to take the bucket she brought in outside, but upon discovering Zhao Gang and the others were looking for her, she was too scared to act and eventually forgot about it.

Excitedly watering all the fruit trees, Gong Ruini felt exhausted, "No going out to let off steam."

It’s said labor is the most tiring, just watering the fruit trees like this truly isn’t ordinarily exhausting; Gong Ruini yawned.

"Rest for a while, but first, wash my face."

Although greatly desiring to take a bath, unfortunately, even if thoroughly prepared, there’s no fire, so hoping to boil hot water wasn’t realistic.

"Luckily this place has a constant temperature. Even after doing all this work, there’s no sweat." Gong Ruini couldn’t help but feel fortunate, otherwise she’d surely be the source of bad odor.

Clutching the soon-to-be-eaten fruit, Gong Ruini crawled into bed for more rest. As for the original idea of testing whether it was related to outside fog, she postponed it until after waking.

Anyway, it’s already a fact, no need to be excited.

The following days, Gong Ruini spent time constantly around the few fruit trees, watching ceaselessly, not once stepping outside, thus unaware of any changes in the outer space.

Gong Ruini was genuinely elated, "The growth speed of this fruit tree is very fast."

Gong Ruini had considered that this space should once have been a treasure. She had gone through the space before, seen the materials left behind by previous owners, and knew the former owner was likely from a medicinal family.

Passed down to later generations, they only focused on continuously planting precious herbs like ginseng and lingzhi, things revered before, without providing sufficient resources to space, gradually leading to the energy depletion.

Gong Ruini studied for a long time before realizing that the so-called resources needed by the space related to doing good deeds, or what’s termed charity, something Gong Ruini didn’t know how to quantify, so she didn’t concern herself with it.

In reality, she had indeed done some good deeds, yet noticed no change in the space, and subsequently didn’t feel she had done anything particularly good.

Gong Ruini genuinely felt like her brain was insufficient; she didn’t comprehend many things.

"Forget it, if it’s incomprehensible, then it’s incomprehensible." How should Gong Ruini approach it? With limited brain cells, thinking too much might deplete them, leading to stupidity.

Gong Ruini glanced at the many books she hadn’t yet finished, deciding to continue reading. Reading makes one clever, preventing senility.

"Ah, no one to talk to, truly lonely." Though Gong Ruini was accustomed to this soundless environment, she still felt unease with it.

For a time without hearing any noise, she could say it was quiet enough to enter an empty mindset, yet it could certainly drive one crazy.

Gong Ruini didn’t know how long she had been isolated here; all she knew is she had read more and more books, fewer unread ones, when she unexpectedly heard a sound.

This made Gong Ruini thrilled. Could there really be a neighbor nearby? But this neighbor frustratingly made no sound until now; had they gone out and just returned?

"Hello, neighbor." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"May I ask, where is this place?"

Gong Ruini used all her strength to discover no response, "What’s going on?"

Gong Ruini was dumbfounded, unsure if the other party was unwilling to answer or simply didn’t receive the message, feeling all kinds of frustration.

Gong Ruini waited and waited, ending with reluctantly retreating to the space, with no feedback received. Sigh.

Could their distance be too far? Yet it seemed unlikely. If truly far, there’d be no reason she could hear the voice.

Gong Ruini felt today’s mood wasn’t ordinarily awful, choosing not to read and continued to sleep.

It’s said bad moods call for shopping, but here with a bad mood the options were limited to sleeping and eating fruit, but no, the fruits were already eaten.

Just the thought of the last mango already eaten made Gong Ruini’s mood worsen significantly.

Rolling over to sleep without overthinking; soon she’d be able to eat her self-grown fruit.

Upon waking, once again looking at the fruit trees overhead, seeing them full of densely packed fruits, Gong Ruini sighed in relief, "Luckily the fruits are all here."

Gong Ruini initially worried about the lack of honey in space for pollination; unexpectedly it was automatically done by space, bringing her joy, as pollinating the flowers wasn’t an easy task.

"There are fruits and books to read, although it’s not paradise, it feels okay." Gong Ruini could only mockingly comment.

Without these two items, she’d genuinely worry about a constant mental breakdown.
