Parallel World.
Taking the high-speed rail back to his hometown, Xu Cheng felt inexplicably relaxed.
In a few hours, Xu Cheng would return to his hometown.
Ever since Xu Cheng's only relative, his grandfather, passed away, Xu Cheng had not returned for more than three years. He wondered if the old house that the grandfather and grandson used to live in had collapsed. The land should be abandoned.
Also, how was the development of the village? Was there any internet connection? Was the air still fresh? Was there still stars in the night sky?
This time, Xu Cheng did not plan to come back. He was prepared to live in his hometown, that remote village.
There were many reasons. For example, Xu Cheng was tired of the fast-paced life of leaving early and returning late in the city. He had enough of the smog and car exhaust, and he had enough of the devastation of real life.
He wanted to return to his hometown to plant a few acres of land, raise a dog, and live a leisurely and simple life.
Of course.
There was another important reason.
Xu Cheng had obtained a system that was related to farming. The mall sold all kinds of crop seeds and feed.
The good thing was that the system had given Xu Cheng a good item from the beginning. It could be said to be a treasure.
It was a green stone the size of a ping pong ball. From the surface, it looked like an ordinary pebble.
However, this stone was very useful. If it was placed in a bucket of water, an hour later, the bucket of water would undergo a qualitative change.
First, the water became sweet and delicious, like spring water.
Secondly, after watering the plants with this water, it could speed up the growth of the plants. As the number of times of watering increased, the plants would also change.
If it was flowers, then these flowers would bloom faster and be more beautiful and fragrant than before. If it was vegetables, the vegetables that grew would be more delicious.
Even the fish raised in the water was bigger than ordinary ones.
With such a system, and Xu Cheng was indeed tired of living in the city, he had the idea of returning to his hometown to farm.
The system allowed Xu Cheng to draw for free once a day. However, the quality of the free draw was not that high. Most of the draws were cheap.
Xu Cheng had already drawn four prizes today. He had a sharp kitchen knife, a pack of strawberry seeds, a razor, and a bamboo lounge chair.
If he wanted to get something good, Xu Cheng needed to spend Reputation Points. Reputation Points were calculated based on Xu Cheng's popularity, achievements, honor, and many other aspects.
There were two types of lottery draws that required a fee. One was a normal lottery draw that required 50,000 Reputation Points each time, and the other was a high-level lottery draw that required 200,000 Reputation Points each time. The items drawn would definitely be good.
On the other hand, Xu Cheng had only accumulated 130,000 Reputation Points since he was young. With 50,000 Reputation Points for one draw, Xu Cheng's savings were only enough for two draws. He could not even think about getting 200,000 Reputation Points for the Advanced Lottery at the moment.
With Xu Cheng's current conditions, the path to obtaining a large amount of Reputation Points was too narrow. It was more suitable. Moreover, there was one path with a low threshold, and that was doing live broadcasts.
Coincidentally, Xu Cheng looked at the situation of the major live streaming platforms and realized that most of the male streamers were playing games, while the female streamers were singing and dancing.
There were also outdoor streamers, but most of them were in the city. There were no streamers in the village.
Therefore, Xu Cheng felt that his Tall Farming livestream room was still a little gimmick. Whether or not he could do it and whether or not people would watch it would depend on Xu Cheng's ability.
.....
After three hours on the high-speed rail, Xu Cheng got off the train and went to the bus station. He could only take a bus from the city to the town where his hometown was located. Moreover, it was not a direct route.
When they arrived in town, Xu Cheng changed to another car.
The distance from the town to the village was a little more than ten kilometers. There were good roads and bad roads. The bad roads could shake people apart.
Every time he returned to his hometown, it was a difficult journey.
"This is worse than a 20-hour train ride.”
Xu Cheng could not help but sigh. However, looking at the increasing number of trees on both sides of the road and the fields filled with crops, Xu Cheng felt relaxed and relaxed, and he was not as tired as before.
They finally arrived at Xu Cheng's hometown, Konglou Village.
After Xu Cheng got out of the car, he pulled his suitcase and walked towards the old mansion.
"It's only been three years, but I didn't expect the changes to be so big.”
The asphalt road was very long, and there were many two-story bungalows on both sides of the road. There were also many cars. The children passing by were holding a somewhat worn out smartphone in their hands, probably abandoned by their parents.
"I didn't expect the popularity of cell phones and cars at home to be so high. It seems that the internet is also connected.”
Xu Cheng heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. If there was no internet, it would still affect his plan to a certain extent. Now it seemed that he had worried too much.
Along the way, he met people he knew by name. Xu Cheng took out two cigarettes and gave them to them to chat with.
As he got closer and closer to the old mansion, for some reason, the sense of belonging in Xu Cheng's heart was very strong.
Xu Cheng's parents died in an accident when he was young. It was his grandfather who took care of Xu Cheng since he was young. The old house was a little remote, nearly a mile away from the village.
In fact, the location of the old residence was very good. There were many trees around it, and there was a small stream not far away. Xu Cheng used to swim in it when he was young. Now, it seemed that it was not as wide as before, and the water was not clear.
The courtyard was huge and overgrown with weeds. There was a jujube tree at the door that was about 13 to 14 meters tall and as thick as Xu Cheng's thigh.
Next to the jujube tree was a luxuriant apricot tree. It was also more than seven meters tall and had small white petals.
Xu Cheng stood in front of the apricot tree. This apricot tree was not trimmed, and it was constantly spreading branches and leaves. It had grown very large.
"The apricot trees have already bloomed. In another month or so, we can eat the apricot.”
As they continued to walk forward, they saw an old well covered by stone slabs.
The old house in front of him was dilapidated, and one of the rooms had already collapsed.
"After all, it's an old house that has been around for more than 60 years.”
Xu Cheng looked at the familiar old house with some regret.
There was a stone table in front of the house. On the table, there was a chess manual. There were two stone stools. Xu Cheng did not mind the dirt and sat on the stone stools.
When Xu Cheng was young, he often saw his grandfather and the elders in the village fighting to the death on the chessboard. When he grew up, he also learned how to play chess, but unfortunately, he was no match for his grandfather.
In an instant, all kinds of childhood memories surged into his mind.
After about ten minutes, Xu Cheng muttered in a low voice.
"I'll stay here from now on.”
