001. Magical Ring
"Oh, it's so hot!" Sun Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although it was early summer, the temperature in this city is almost almost 30 degrees for 8-9 months a year.
I took out two tomatoes and the local eggs brought from my hometown by my relatives, made a scrambled egg with tomatoes, cooked some rice, and just dealt with the next person's dinner.
Because Sun Gang lived a very early life, he cooked good dishes. Every time he came home during school, he would cook the food at home. Although his mother cooked it better, his mother would always say: If the food is delicious, it would be easy to get a wife in the future. The two brothers were fooled by their mother for several years, and they did not understand it slowly until they grew up.
Sun Gang is 26 years old this year. Because he is not good at socializing and looks average, he has no car or house in this city, and has never even had a girlfriend after work. Every time he calls home, his parents keep urging him to get married.
He threw the plate and bowl in the pool and brushed it. Sun Gang was about to go downstairs to visit this urban village that he had lived in for more than a year but was not very familiar with. No wonder his friends said that he was a 100% otaku, and he basically didn't wander around the market except for buying vegetables.
Urban villages, as the name suggests, are "villages in cities", referring to residential areas that lag behind the overall development of the city, are free from urban management, and have a relatively low living standard.
The urban village where Sun Gang is located is close to the high-tech park, the bustling areas of the university and the city. With its convenient transportation, low rent prices and convenient living facilities, a large number of working people gathered. From the moment the working people come home from get off work, this place has become their life stage.
Sun Gang walked around the dilapidated building, walked through the old alley, and came to a bustling place. It was past six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was crowded with office workers who had just finished get off work, children who had just returned home from school, and housewives who went out to buy groceries. The downtown city in the city seemed particularly crowded.
The bustling shops were lit one after another, and the dense food stalls were crowded with people. Inside, there was a bit of the bustling illusion of a "big night market". Internet cafes and video game rooms were packed, and there were also a few young people who were full of wine and food gathered around the pool table and started playing billiards.
The sky is getting darker and the night is getting darker, but the people here are still tireless. For them, although the leisure activities here are scarce, they still linger on the fun.
Sun Gang walked on the street and bought a popsicle to eat it. It felt very comfortable.
"Let's take a look, the authentic yak bone carving pendant and jade bracelet." A young man was wearing Tibetan clothes and shouting loudly. On such a hot day, he was wearing very thick clothes, and sweat beads on his head were rising.
Sun Gang squatted down and looked at the items on the stall, some bone-carved ornaments and a few beautifully decorated hidden knives without sharp edges.
"Little brother, buy something. This is an authentic yak bone carving thing. Whether it is worn by yourself or given to relatives and friends, you will be very proud."
"Brother, don't fool me, these are all bull bones..."
"Brother, I'm really authentic. You want to give you some cheaper..."
Sun Gang wanted to buy some gifts for his parents, but he flipped through the stall but couldn't find anything that suited his wishes. He shook his head and was about to get up and found a unique ring next to the hidden knife, neither gold nor jade, carved with very classical patterns. In the dark, Sun Gang had an idea in his mind: buy it.
"How much does this thing cost?"
"Little brother, this is an ivory carving, this costs 200 yuan..." The little vendor was very cunning. Seeing that Sun Gang had a crush on this ring, he immediately asked for a price everywhere.
"10 yuan, I want it..." Sun Gang was not fooled at all. After all, he was not a fool. He just said that these bone products were yak bones, and ivory appeared again now.
"This is not OK, this is a good thing, at least 180 yuan."
"20 yuan, it's not sold..." Sun Gang pretended to get up and was about to leave.
"You add some more. It's not easy for me to do business in a hot day." The small vendor said in disappointment.
Finally, Sun Gang bought the ring for 50 yuan and also put on two so-called yak bone pendants.
Sun Gang lost interest in continuing to stroll, and took the things he got and went back.
"Oh..." Sun Gang stretched his waist and saw that it was past 11 o'clock. Since today was the weekend, there was no disturbance from the alarm clock, he felt so comfortable this time. He had a dream: to wake up naturally when he went to sleep, count the money until his hands cramped. This temporarily achieved the ability to wake up naturally when he went to sleep, count the money..., it was still far from it.
I brought the ring I bought yesterday with me. Sun Gang studied it for a long time but couldn't find out what material it was. It was not metal anyway.
"Ah!" When cooking and cutting vegetables, he was absent-minded and accidentally cut his hands. Sun Gang quickly found a tissue to wipe the wound and found a band-aid to simply bandage it.
I didn't notice the abnormality of the ring. The blood on my fingers flowed along the ring and began to penetrate slowly. After a while, all the blood on the ring was absorbed.
Suddenly I found a faint circle at the base of the middle finger that I just wore the ring, which looked exactly the same shape and size as the ring.
Did the ring run into the finger? Sun Gang touched the pattern and felt that the ring was inside. Sun Gang, who had always disbelief of ghosts and gods, was sweating protrudingly at this time. He had never encountered such a strange thing before. His head was buzzing and he lost his composure. In the already hot weather, he was blowing a fan in the house, but his clothes were wet with cold sweat.
Gently touching the ring pattern, Sun Gang suddenly realized that he was in another world. Maybe because he had read too many fantasy novels. Sun Gang felt a faint sense of excitement after panic and fear, maybe because of the novelty.
This space is the size of two houses. In the middle is a pool that covers an area of one fifth. The water in the pool is clear and it is estimated to be about 1 meter deep. Around it is a large area of empty black soil, surrounded by misty mist. Sun Gang walked over and found that the fog around seemed to be an invisible barrier, blocking his sight and footsteps.
There are no creatures in the space, except Sun Gang, of course.
It was completely different from the temperature just now. It didn’t feel stuffy here, as if the breeze was blowing, bringing a cool feeling to Sun Gang, and there was a fresh and natural smell in the air.
"How should I get out?" As soon as I thought, I automatically came out of the space. After trying back and forth, Sun Gang didn't find any problems.
Sun Gang turned his phone to the recording function, then placed it on the computer desk, aimed the camera at him, touched the ring pattern, and silently recited "Go in" again. After coming out, he picked up his phone and found that he disappeared out of thin air in the recording, and then suddenly appeared, very strange.
Sun Gang quickly deleted the video and made up his mind to find a safe place to enter and exit the space in the future. The matter of having a ring space cannot be explained to others, so people know that they are not being taken to slice and study. Moreover, every man is guilty of being a treasure.
Returning to the space, get a small cup of space water by the pool, which is clear and clear. Even if it is placed in a glass cup, it is still thorough and clean, without any impurities, just like pure spring water.
After tasting the water from the pool, I found that the water in this space was also extremely sweet, which was countless times better than water such as Yibao and Nongfu Spring. After drinking, I felt extremely comfortable all over, as if I could use endless energy.
"The ground in the space is full of black soil, and the black soil is fertile. Should I try planting something?" Sun Gang said to himself.
He did it as soon as he said that, Sun Gang worked a lot to find the seed shop on the street and bought several common vegetable seeds in the market, including chili, cabbage, radish, etc., and bought a shovel and a small bucket.
When I got home, I brought the bought seeds, and the tools couldn't wait to drill into the space, planted several vegetable seeds, and then watered them in the space.
Seeing that there was still a large area of land empty, Sun Gang was still unsatisfied. It would be better to wait for this batch of vegetables to come out to see the results.
"If I can plant it successfully, I won't have to buy vegetables in the future. Prices soar, and buying vegetables every month is also a big expense..." Sun Gang was lying on the bed and fantasized, falling asleep unknowingly.
Maybe it's been a long time since I worked, Sun Gang rarely dreamed until dawn all night.
When he woke up the next morning, Sun Gang couldn't wait to enter the space. When he saw the vegetables he planted yesterday, he jumped up in surprise.
It turned out that the empty black soil, the land where vegetable seeds were planted, tender green buds broke out from the ground. This made Sun Gang excited for a long time because it made him realize that space can plant things, and after only one night of planting, the seeds will teeth. It seems that this space has the function of accelerating plant growth. Then this pool should also be used to raise some freshwater fish and shrimps.
Sun Gang flashed out of the space, poured out all the water in the pure water bucket at home, and replaced it with space water. The space water was extremely sweet, and it would rely on it to cook and drink water in the future, which would save a lot of money.
He bought some vegetable seeds from the seed shop one after another and planted all the remaining land in the space with vegetables. Sun Gang bought a few live crucian carp, grass carp, and a few kilograms of shrimp in the market to improve his life.
At noon, I made a shredded white radish crucian carp soup, a scallion prawn, and fried vegetables. Sun Gang had a beautiful meal.
The remaining fish and shrimps were placed in the space pool as early as when they got home. After the fish and shrimps that were not energetic entered the pool, they immediately became active and swam happily in the pool.
Seeing the vegetables appearing the same day, Sun Gang was both happy and worried. What he was happy about was that the vegetables in the space grew well and were several times faster than the growth cycle outside. What he was worried about was: when would he eat them alone?
It was time to plan your next step. After thinking about it, Sun Gang didn't come up with any clues.
A few days later, the first batch of vegetables that Sun Gang grew in the space was already ripe.
That night, Sun Gang made a stir-fried pork with chili and fried cabbage and sesame oil with shredded radish. It was fragrant and tempting and delicious, which made Sun Gang add another meal, which made him hum while covering his stomach.
