Before returning to the orphanage, Yang Junru gave Lian Tianci a call and told him that she wanted to meet him tomorrow to clarify some things. Lian Tianci agreed.
Yang Junru was full of worries and could not sleep for the entire night.
The next day, Yang Junru rushed to Fang Feifei's place to call her. Fang Feifei considered that there was no direct bus to Lian Tianci's residence, so she decided to take a taxi. She said,"Although we're poor, we've encountered such a big thing. What's wrong with being extravagant?! Besides, wasn't that Lian rich? When the time comes, we'll just ask him for reimbursement." Yang Junru didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She could only let her be. Thus, the two of them fought their way straight to Lian Tianci's residence.
Lian Tianci and Sang Zi were already impatient. In fact, it was only nine o'clock in the morning, but they were eager to know Yang Junru's thoughts. The two of them had not slept last night. When they saw Yang Junru, they said,"Miss Yang, you're finally here." Yang Junru apologized as she introduced,""This is my friend Fang Feifei, this is Lian Tianci, and that is Sang Zi.”Fang Feifei sized up the two men and extended her hand.""It's a pleasure to meet you." Lian and Sang reached out to shake her hand."Likewise."
As they spoke, Lian Tianci had already let them into the house. Fang Feifei had been paying attention to this place. It was a seven-story house. Lian Tianci lived on the second floor. It had three bedrooms and two living rooms with a kitchen and bathroom. The environment was good. Although it was a little noisy in the city, the windows and doors were soundproof.
When Lian Tianci asked them what they wanted to drink, Fang Feifei and the other said they wanted tea. Soon, the tea was served and the four of them sat down. Fang and Yang sat on one side of the coffee table while the other two sat opposite them. It was like an interrogation, Fang Feifei thought. She began to ask,"Can you tell me the principle of your machine?”
" It's very simple," Sang Zi replied." We just made a machine that is connected to the space-time tunnel." We believe that there are many space-time tunnels in the world, but they haven't been discovered yet. We happened to know of such a tunnel, so we had the greatest guarantee of success.”
"Since there's a space-time tunnel, why do we need machines? Can't we just go through the tunnel? Also, how did you find this space-time tunnel?”
" The space-time tunnel is just a medium that allows you to return to the past. It is not fixed, and we do not know where it will send you. The purpose of creating a space-time shuttle is to let you decide where to go, not to let the space-time tunnel randomly assign you.
For example, Miss Yang wanted to go to the Tang Dynasty, but the space-time tunnel alone was not enough. It might send you to the Song Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, or even prehistoric times. If we add a time shuttle, we can program Miss Yang according to her wishes and order the machine to send her to the Tang Dynasty. As for how we discovered the space-time tunnel, I'll let Tianci tell you.”
"I only discovered it by chance," Lian Tianci continued. Our Lian family has an old house that's been around for more than a hundred years. It's in the suburbs. It's more than an hour's ride. We have to pass through a forest and enter a valley. It's very hidden. When I was fourteen, my parents took me there to play when they were still alive. I went through almost every room, but there was only one. My family forbade me from entering and added a few big locks on the door. However, this is not difficult for me. To tell you the truth, I've been especially good at picking locks since I was young. No matter how difficult the lock is, as long as I turn it around with a wire, I can open it. I also know that this is not good. It's easy to cause misunderstandings, so I didn't tell anyone. I'm very curious. I'll look at what others don't want me to see. So, when my family wasn't paying attention, I took some tools to open the lock and got in. The room was very big, as big as the place I was living in now, but strangely, there was nothing inside except for a pipe. I walked around the pipe a few times. The pipe could barely fit a child my age. At that time, I was barely 160 centimeters. I'm not bragging, but I've always grown fast. I've completely broken the convention that boys grow slower than girls. Look at how tall I am now.”
These words were a little redundant. Apart from Yang Junru, Fang Feifei and Sang Zi glared at him. Lian Tianci tactfully continued,"I was very curious at that time, so I went in and lay down. My eyes suddenly hurt, so I closed them. When I opened them again, I saw the stars in the sky. Shocked, I reached out to touch the side and felt mud all over my hands. I hurriedly stood up and looked around. I broke out in a cold sweat. I was actually lying on the edge of a forest. At that time, I was still hoping that I was dreaming, but after I pinched myself hard, I knew that it wasn't a dream. God, I was so flustered that I didn't know what to do.”I stood there and thought for a while. After taking a few steps along the forest, I suddenly had an idea. Could this be the forest where I entered my old house? So I went into the woods to see if I could find the way in. You know that path is very difficult for ordinary people to discover. Without an insider, you can't enter at all. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it even after searching for a long time. After walking around for half the night, I returned to the same place. It was dawn when I saw my surroundings clearly. Three sides of the forest were covered with grass, and only the south side, where I lay, was a muddy path that led to somewhere unknown. Although I was curious, it wasn't very big. In addition, I had never encountered such a strange thing before, so it was inevitable that I was afraid. People are always filled with fear of things beyond their understanding, and I am no exception. So, after walking for about half an hour without seeing the end of the road, I stopped and walked back. After staying at the starting point of the road for a while, I felt that I was starving, so I walked around aimlessly, hoping to find even the slightest clue to go back. They entered the forest again. I was lucky to find some edible fruits. After filling my stomach, I began to think about how to go back. When I was in the forest, I kept thinking about eating those fruits when I was hungry. In the end, he really couldn't think of anything else, so he walked out of the forest. At that time, I made up my mind. No matter where that path led to, I had to go and take a look. With this thought in mind, they arrived at the starting point of the path. The sky was already dark. I wasn't paying attention for a moment, so I tripped and fell. My eyes suddenly hurt, so I closed them. When I felt the pain pass, I opened my eyes. At the same time, I subconsciously touched my surroundings. It felt cold, and the area was very small. I was so scared that I sat up. I couldn't sit up straight, and my head hit the ceiling with a bang. I lay down again and didn't dare to sit up rashly. I only used my hands to feel around and felt that I was in a round thing. I extended my arm and tried to climb up. I didn't reach the end, so I crawled in that direction. After a while, I actually came out. I was ecstatic at that time. I stood up and stretched my body. Suddenly, I found myself in the big house in the old house. Before I could react, someone had already rushed in. It's my father. He pulled me out with a dark face and didn't say anything. He first got someone to lock the door again, then pulled me into the room where my ancestors were worshipped. He took the big stick that was used to enforce the family law and beat me up. My mother watched from the side and didn't dare to persuade her. As for me, I know that I've caused a huge disaster and that I can actually come back. I don't even feel anything about being beaten up. I only care about being happy to see my family again. How can I care about anything else?! My dad was probably tired of beating him up. He threw the stick away and said,"If you dare to go in again, I'll break your legs.”After saying that, she asked my mom to bring me out to apply the medicine. As my mother applied the medicine on me, she quietly told me that my grandmother had also entered the tube before, but she was not as lucky as me and never came back. Grandpa forbade the family from spreading this matter, and that room became a forbidden area. No one in the family dared to talk about this matter because Grandpa had set a family rule. If anyone was found to be talking about it, they would be punished by the family law and would not be lenient. This time, if I enter in a daze, I might cause some trouble!! More importantly, I'm the only boy in my family. What if something happens to me? Even though it's the modern era, my family is actually a typical feudal family. At the very least, it's a family with a strong feudal mindset. They favor sons over daughters…Okay, let's not talk about this anymore.”"I'm exhausted," he said as he took a sip of water.
"And then?" Fang Feifei could not help but ask.
"And then…that was it. What else do you hope for? Oh, right, actually, I didn't know that it was the so-called space-time tunnel at first. I accidentally revealed this to a friend later, and Sangzi happened to know about it. He came to me and coaxed me to take him to see the tube. At that time, my parents had already passed away. I was the one in charge of the family, so he also went through the pipe once. It took him a few days to get out of there. He excitedly told me that it was the legendary space-time tunnel. He even went to the Song Dynasty for a tour. I asked him what he saw there, but what he saw was completely different from what I saw. He appeared in a place not far from the city. Although his clothes caused panic and speculation, he actually stayed there for a few days without caring. I really admire him. "Like me, I don't have the guts to find out what that place is…" Seeing that he was about to change the topic again, Fang Feifei hurriedly said,"I don't have the guts to find out what that place is."We already know what happened to you, but I still have some questions for you.”
"Please ask."
"If you can really send someone to ancient times, can you guarantee that person's safety?”
"First of all, I want to make it clear that we really have the ability to send people to ancient times.”Sang Zi was a little displeased by Fang Feifei's words. Lian Tianci knew his temper and quickly added,""Indeed, we'll show you our machines. However, regarding the safety issue, we can only say that in theory, there shouldn't be any problems. However, we can't be sure what will happen in reality. It was a pity. However," he added hastily," please believe that we will do our best to ensure that nothing happens to her.”
"That means that the possibility of an accident still exists?”
"Feifei, even if I don't do this, something might happen to me here. Wasn't that an unavoidable thing in life?”Yang Junru, who had been silent all this while, spoke.
" But I'm worried about you!!"
"I know, but even if I stay here for the rest of my life, you can't guarantee that I'll always be safe!!”Yang Junru was very open-minded. Sang Zi and Lian Tianci looked at her with admiration.
"Alright, I won't bother about this problem for now. However, the medical skills there were so poor. What if she fell sick? Didn't you guys prepare at all?"
"Miss Fang, please believe that we've made ample preparations. We've thought of everything you thought of, and we'll work hard to do what you didn't think of. Now, if you'd like, I'd like to show you our laboratory.”Lian Tianci said sincerely.
"Where?"
"You'll know when you get there." Lian Tianci deliberately kept them in suspense. "Let's go. We should have brought them there earlier." Sang Zi stood up and said.”
