44 Dealing With the Wang and Sun families

After a few experiments, Zhou Xiaoli basically mastered how to use the alternate space.

She had to use her mind power to enter or to use the alternate space.

As long as she wanted to enter the alternate space, her consciousness would immediately appear in the alternate space. When she wanted to leave, her consciousness would come out of the alternate space again.

As for Zhang Lan, Zhou Xiaoyu, and Zhou Junjun, how did they enter the alternate space?

Zhou Xiaoli guessed that it might be because they were related by blood.

As long as they stayed with Zhou Xiaoli, their consciousness could freely enter and exit the alternate space too. However, they could not take anything out of it.

After coming out of the alternate space, Zhang Lan could not calm down for a long time.

Although she did not understand the purpose of putting things into the space, she was pleasantly surprised when she saw the two acres of fertile land beside the courtyard.

“When the market starts, I have to buy some seeds and plant in the two acres of land in the space.”

Zhou Xiaoli could understand why Zhang Lan was so excited about it. They do not have farmland, which has always been a sore point for Zhang Lan. Now that she had good farmland in her alternative space and they did not have to pay farm tax on it, Zhang Lan was naturally excited.

Just as Zhang Lan was planning what to plant on the two acres of land with excitement, she suddenly realized something and was stunned.

Then, she tried to move her body and could not help but be surprised. “Why do I feel that my body is no longer heavy?”

“And I’m not coughing!”

“Yes, this should be the effect of the spring water in the alternate space. It has the effect of strengthening the body,” Zhou Xiaoli explained.

She scooped out a bowl of the spring water from the alternate space. “I’ll give it to Father to drink.”

Zhang Lan nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes. Give your father some.”

At this moment, Zhang Lan was still in a daze. This alternate space was too mysterious. There were houses and fertile fields inside. What was even more magical was that the spring water inside could treat illnesses. This made her feel like she was dreaming.

She suddenly thought of something and hurriedly pulled Zhou Xiaoyu and Zhou Junjun into the room. She instructed them with a serious expression.

“It’s a blessing for your sister that the gods have given her this alternate space.”

“From now on, when you’re outside, you have to keep your mouths shut. Don’t spout nonsense nor tell anyone!”

“If others find out, it would be a small matter if they were to snatch it away. They might even take our lives to get it!”

Zhang Lan said it seriously, but she did not mean to scare the two children.

This was also the first time the two little fellows saw their mother having such a serious expression on her face. They immediately nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would not say anything to outsiders.

Seeing the two children repeatedly promised to do so, Zhang Lan was slightly relieved and went into the house to see Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was unconscious and could not drink the herbal medicine.

When Zhou Xiaoli fed him the medicine just now, not a single drop entered his mouth.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli was thinking of a way to make Zhou Yu drink the spiritual spring water.

Zhang Lan walked in.

“How is it? Did your father drink it?”

Hearing Zhang Lan’s voice, Zhou Xiaoli immediately had an idea. “Mother, I need your help. Come, you…”

After hearing this, Zhang Lan’s face turned red. “Will this work?”

“Yes.” Zhou Xiaoli handed the water to Zhang Lan. “Mother, saving Father is more important. Don’t be shy.”

“Okay, how about this? Second Brother, Third Sister, and I will go out first. Call us when you’re done feeding.”

After saying that, she winked at Zhang Lan and pulled Zhou Xiaoyu and Zhou Junjun out.

“Sis, what do you want Mother to do?” Zhou Xiaoyu was curious.

Zhou Junjun patted Zhou Xiaoyu’s head from the side. “Little fool, of course it’s for Mother to feed Father the spring water.”

Zhou Xiaoyu immediately covered her head and glared at Zhou Junjun. “Bad brother, I’m not a little fool. Hmph! You even hit my head. I won’t be with you anymore.”

After saying that, she hugged Zhou Xiaoli and bared her teeth at Zhou Junjun.

Zhou Xiaoli’s lips curled up as she watched the two little fellows play around.

It was great. The two children should grow up carefree.

After a while, Zhang Lan’s voice came from the room.

She had already fed Zhou Yu the entire bowl of the spiritual spring water.

Zhou Yu should be fine then.

Zhou Xiaoli’s heart finally settled down in peace.

The sky gradually darkened. Everyone climbed into bed and prepared to rest.

When it was late at night and everyone in the family was asleep, Zhou Xiaoli quietly left the house. She took her weapon and headed toward the Sun family.

Under the moonlight, she found Sun Er’s room. She pushed open the door and was about to knock the person on the bed unconscious when she realized that the bed was empty.

The room was slightly messy. Clothes and the bedsheets were scattered all over the floor, as if someone had forcefully pulled him down from the bed.

After checking around the Sun family courtyard and being unable to find Sun Er, Zhou Xiaoli went to the Wang family.

The situation in Wang Gou’s room was the same as Sun Er’s. His bedsheets and clothes were scattered all over the floor, and he was not on the bed.

Zhou Xiaoli was puzzled. Where did these two people go in the middle of the night?

Zhou Xiaoli was prepared to go home and think of another way to capture them.

Just as she was about to reach her home, she suddenly saw a black figure squatting at the entrance of Wei Chiyu’s house. She did not know what he was doing.

In an instant, Zhou Xiaoli turned vigilant. She raised her crossbow and quietly approached the figure.

The black shadow seemed to have sharp senses as he noticed her presence as soon as Zhou Xiaoli approached him.

The moment this person turned around, the two of them shouted at the same time.

“Wei Chiyu?”

“Zhou Xiaoli?”

Then, they said in unison, “What are you doing here?”

The two of them could not help but smile awkwardly.

Zhou Xiaoli put away her crossbow and walked over. She asked again, “Why aren’t you sleeping in the middle of the night?”

Wei Chiyu did not answer Zhou Xiaoli’s question. Instead, he said, “What a coincidence that you’re here. I won’t have to wait till tomorrow to find you.”

“Look, what do you think this is?”

As he spoke, he pointed behind him mysteriously.

Zhou Xiaoli was confused. She looked at Wei Chiyu, but still walked over to check.

There were two sacks on the ground. From the shape, they looked like humans.

“What’s this?”

Zhou Xiaoli frowned. Did Wei Chiyu have the habit of sneaking around at night?

Then, Wei Chiyu untied the sack and opened it, revealing two people!

However, both of them were bruised and unconscious.

After looking at them for a long time, Zhou Xiaoli could vaguely tell who they were from their bruised and swollen faces.

“Ah, aren’t they…”

Wei Chiyu immediately said, “That’s right, it’s them. I just went to kidnap them and beat them up for you. Has your anger subsided?”

Zhou Xiaoli did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Wei Chiyu seemed to be asking for credit.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoli was silent, Wei Chiyu added, “If you are still angry, come and hit them a few times. It will definitely vent your anger.”

As he spoke, he took out a wooden stick that was as thick as a child’s arm and handed it to Zhou Xiaoli.

Zhou Xiaoli took the stick and said with a helpless expression, “I was wondering why I missed them when I went to the Wang and Sun family homes earlier. It turns out that you kidnapped them. You ruined my plan, do you know that?”

The expression on Wei Chiyu’s face instantly froze. After a while, he said with uncertainty. “Then, should I put them back and you can kidnap them again?”

Zhou Xiaoli: “… there’s no need. Let’s leave it at that. However, you have to do me a favor tomorrow morning.”
