Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 33: Entering the Mountains Again

"Xiaoxiao, you haven't said where you come from. Are there really immortals, demons, and ghosts in this world?" Xia Xiao now had the leisure to inquire about Shitou's origins, and was quite curious about Shitou's existence.

"I don't know."

"Then how did you come to be? You must have an origin, right?" Xia Xiao looked at Shitou suspiciously, finding it hard to believe that anyone wouldn't know their own origins.

"I wish I knew. I've been around for many years, just an ordinary stone. I don't know where I came from. All I know is that when there's an energy stone, I can feel better. Without it, I'll turn into waste stone and dissipate."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiao felt an inexplicable tightening in her heart, "Shitou, although I don't know what an energy stone is, I'll help you look for it."

"You called me Shitou again, how annoying." Shitou became angry again.

Xia Xiao sweated profusely and hurriedly said, "My mistake, a slip of the tongue, gege, I'll accompany you to find the energy stone."

"That's more like it." Shitou snorted and then said, "Let's go check out the blasting site. I almost got blown out there last time."

"Okay," Xia Xiao replied, hoping in her heart that Shitou would find the energy stone. She was also excited about the transformation Shitou mentioned and continued curiously, "I feel like I'm the illegitimate daughter of the heavens, and so they bestowed you, this treasure, upon me. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? It feels like you exist just for me."

"Kekeke..." Shitou laughed, "Maybe that's true."

Xia Xiao gave a sheepish smile. This space was incredibly precious, almost too good to be true. Even though Xia Xiao had read plenty of space novels and many about reincarnation and time travel, everything now felt like a dream.

The space could not only raise chickens and grow vegetables, but the Spiritual Spring could also be used as a means of transportation—and the fastest at that, just a shake and you'd arrive.

Xia Xiao soon found herself in a mine, and during the big holidays, it was indeed very quiet, but there were also several people guarding it.

"Gege, watch out for the mountain guards, or if I get caught, we're both done for." The mine was state-owned, and if she were caught there, she might well be shot.

"Don't worry, I can't let you fall into danger. Come on, let's have a wander," Shitou said.

Xia Xiao whispered, "If only we could see outside from within the space, then we wouldn't need to come out at all."

"I don't have that capability, nor am I that powerful," Shitou seemed to shake his head.

"No worries, you're already very impressive, let's go for a walk." Xia Xiao promptly began to stroll around the mine with Shitou, avoiding the mountain guards. Whenever they encountered someone, they would quickly hide in the space to avoid detection.

"Xiaoxiao, bring that stone inside."

"Which one?"

"The white one in front of you."

Xia Xiao stepped forward and picked up a stone from the ground, asking, "Is this an energy stone?"

"No."

"Then why do you want it?"

"To eat."

"You eat stones?" No wonder he didn't like being called Shitou, Xia Xiao thought.

"It's an ore. Even a mosquito's meat has flesh, and although it's not as good as an energy stone, having some isn't bad."

Xia Xiao was speechless, but that seemed to make sense.

"So you're going to eat all the ores in this mountain? That's not very nice."

"I'm just tasting. I'm not interested in these ores," Shitou said.

Xia Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he wasn't interested. If Shitou really ate all the ores in the mountain, Xia Xiao really wouldn't know what to do.

"Let's go, there's nothing I want in this mine, and these ores are not very useful to me," Shitou sounded clearly disappointed.

Xia Xiao reassured, "Don't worry, the World is vast, we'll find it eventually. When the time comes, I'll go with you."

"Xiaoxiao is the best, you said it yourself," Shitou brightened up.

"Of course, I keep my word." Xia Xiao added, "But if you want to go somewhere far, and it might take a long time, you'll have to give me time, after all, I have family and will have other family members in the future."

"No problem," Shitou readily agreed.

After reaching a consensus, their coexistence became even more harmonious. Xia Xiao suggested, "Let's go take a look at Nanhua Mountain, I'm very interested in it."

"That place is full of fierce beasts," Shitou warned.

"With you around, what do I have to fear?"

No sooner had Xia Xiao spoken, than Shitou said, "I'm not afraid, but you need to be careful. If a wild animal gets hold of you and you enter the space, it might follow you in."

Xia Xiao paused, "If it comes into the space, could it recognize me as its master? And if it drinks from the spring, could it possibly gain spiritual wisdom..."

"Xiaoxiao, you're thinking too much. I'm just an ordinary stone, you're treating me like a deity. If a fierce beast comes in, the first thing it'll eat is you. Moreover, if it drinks the water here and becomes even stronger, that will be even more dangerous. Even if you manage to escape, would you dare to come back in?"

Xia Xiao shook her head, just the thought of that scene was frightening.

"So don't think of the space as invincible. Maybe I was created by some god billions of years ago and might have some abilities, but I am just a stone right now. I just want to find an energy stone, so I can survive a bit longer and see this World a bit more."

"I believe you. You are already remarkable, and I believe that one day you will find an energy stone. You've met me, so surely you can find one too," Xia Xiao didn't want Shitou to die one day or turn to waste—that would be such a pity.

"Seeing Xiaoxiao, I believe too. Xiaoxiao always brings me miracles."

Xia Xiao laughed merrily.

But when they arrived at Nanhua Mountain and left the space, Xia Xiao immediately heard cursing and swearing.

"Why did I give birth to such a coward? Seeing a bear and you run, you took my gun just to show off, didn't you? What a disgrace you've brought me in front of my old comrades, you've made me lose face, do you understand?"

*Smack smack smack...*

"Ow, Dad, go easy, if you break me, you won't have a son to provide for you in your old age."

As soon as he heard this, Xia Xiao recognized it was Liu Haiguo's voice, getting beaten by his father. As soon as Liu Haiguo spoke, his father became even angrier, "Damn it, I'll beat you to death, you're shaming me."

"Uncle, Haiguo knows he's wrong. If we don't get back in the mountains now, it's going to be dark soon."

Xia Xiao then heard Ge Lai's voice, and soon enough many other voices joined in, suggesting that everyone was going hunting for bears in the mountains.

Xia Xiao also followed them sneakily, intent on watching how they hunted.

Returning to the sixties, apart from having the space, knowing some history, and future developments, Xia Xiao had no advantages,

"Gege, if I come across a pheasant or something, how can I get ahold of the game?" Xia Xiao was a bit troubled now, in the novels, it was easy for the female protagonist to hunt using the space, but her own space didn't have this skill, and she wasn't capable herself, nor was she as awesome as those protagonists from the novels.
