"Since it’s hard to solve, let’s not resolve it yet," Qin Yun decided in his heart.

Doing these things not only isn’t easy, but might also bring a pile of trouble to himself.

"Anyway, I might not stay in this time-space for long."

He’s here just for a short stay, planning to leave as soon as he finds that Exotic Fragment.

"Besides, as long as I plan properly, whether I use an ID card or not is the same."

In Hua Country, oftentimes an ID card isn’t needed for eating, taking buses, etc. unless staying at a hotel or something else.

Looking at the time, it’s approaching one in the afternoon.

Qin Yun thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "System, will the people I meet in this space be affected when I return to the original time-space 15 years later?"

The system replied, "Upon the host’s return, unless for special reasons, any effect caused in this time-space will automatically correct."

"I see..."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Qin Yun’s face, "Then I’ll go visit Qingwu County."

He’s quite eager to see himself as a child.

Since it doesn’t affect anything, meeting with his parents and others wouldn’t have any impact.

The key is finding the Exotic Fragment, Qin Yun has no clue, completely searching aimlessly.

"I’ll go search around Qingwu County first and see if I can find the Exotic Fragment?"

This is also one of his purposes.

Since it’s aimless, he’ll start searching in the places he wants to go.

"Moreover, I’ll take the opportunity to solve my financial problem!" Qin Yun took a deep breath.

When he first arrived, he had no money, then used Yu Leyao’s two yuan to win a prize, now having over four thousand.

In 2010, this money has relatively high purchasing power, but for someone like Qin Yun without an ID card, it’s not much.

He can’t even stay in a hotel.

However, if Qin Yun had enough money, these wouldn’t be problems; he could hire people to easily solve each issue.

Thinking about this, Qin Yun hailed a cab.

"Young man, where to?" the driver asked.

"To Wu City’s Qingwu County," Qin Yun said directly.

"Qingwu County?" Upon hearing, the driver said a bit surprised, "That’s not close."

"Money won’t be an issue for you," Qin Yun waved and said.

A few hours later, Qin Yun arrived in Qingwu County, to Qin Family Village.

In 2010, Qin Family Village hadn’t yet developed new rural complexes; roads were gravel, with some dirt roads.

When it rained, these dirt roads became pothole-ridden.

"Young man, this road is impassable. I can only take you this far," said the driver from Jinling, shaking his head after driving along the gravel road for a while.

Knowing it was difficult to drive, Qin Yun did not insist, paid the fare, and said, "Please wait for me here, I need to return once I’m done. Don’t worry, you won’t lose out on payment; I’ll give you an extra two hundred yuan once all is settled."

"Alright, young man, I’ll definitely wait here for you," said the driver, delighted to hear this.

Doing this job was for making money; even though Jinling was far, Qin Yun paid more than the standard fare.

He wished he had such clients every day.

Solving the driver’s matter, Qin Yun headed towards Qin Family Village.

"Big sister, big sister."

Walking along, Qin Yun suddenly glanced in a direction, where a little boy was jogging, following a girl around ten years old.

The girl had short hair, looking like a tomboy.

Seeing them, Qin Yun smiled; the little boy was himself, and the tomboy-like girl was his elder sister Qin Xuan.

Fifteen years later, Qin Xuan seemed very gentle, but she used to be quite wild, and little Qin Yun loved following her around.

"Unbelievable, I actually see myself as a child," Qin Yun felt amazed.

"Ah!"

Just then, Qin Yun heard an exclamation.

Nearby, young Qin Xuan exclaimed, unsteady and nearly falling.

At this time, Qin Yun hurried forward, grabbing her to steady her.

Young Qin Xuan curiously glanced at Qin Yun, "Thank you."

"Big sister," little Qin Yun ran over, looking curiously at grown-up Qin Yun.

"Be careful," Qin Yun smiled, releasing young Qin Xuan, and walked away.

"Xiaoxuan."

Then, a fifteen-year-old boy ran over, "Are you alright?"

"Brother Xiaotao," young Qin Xuan called upon seeing him.

Young Qin Yun also called him Brother Xiaotao, while his gaze was fixed on the candy bag in Qin Xiaotao’s hand.

Qin Xiaotao started school late; kids often attended school later, he was now in ninth grade.

Among the younger generation of the Qin family, Qin Xiaotao was the eldest, the big brother to everyone; he had the demeanor of a big brother, taking care of his younger siblings, often buying candies to share with them.

"Xiaoxuan, Yun...eat this."

Smiling, young Qin Xiaotao handed candies over seeing young Qin Yun.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaotao."

...

Arriving at Qin Family Village, Qin Yun judged it was time for his father, who should still be working in the fields and hasn’t returned home yet.

Twenty years later, farming became less common; many from rural areas went out for work, but in 2010 most were still farming.

In the family’s field, Qin Yun quickly spotted his father.

This was when Qin Guodong was in his thirties, looking quite young, with strength, quickly completing field work.

Qin Guodong was busy, planning to finish and go home for lunch.

Suddenly, he noticed Qin Yun approaching, stopped his work, and said, "Young man, is there something you need?"

"Hi, I lost my phone; could I borrow yours to make a call?" Qin Yun asked.

Seeing Qin Yun, Qin Guodong nodded with a smile, "Sure."

He put down his belongings, went to the edge of the field, and retrieved a cellphone from a bag meant for water bottles.

This phone was an old Nokia.

Qin Yun knew that his father used this phone until 2014, then switched to another when it broke.

Taking the phone, Qin Yun dialed a number, waited, but no one answered, making him slightly anxious.

After a while, he tried again, but still, there was no response.

"Young man, is the call not going through?" Qin Guodong asked, showing concern.

For some reason, he felt quite fond of the youth before him.
