Yu Xinyan returned to the guesthouse, closed the door, and lay on the bed, thinking that Lyu Juncheng would probably come looking for her soon. She thought it would have been better to be discharged tomorrow if she had known that the union wouldn’t be open today.
Thinking about things from the past life made her want to scream "ah, ah, ah" in her mind. She really felt too stifled.
Frustrated, she reached out and started scratching her head.
Suddenly, she remembered that she still had an injury on her hand, so she quickly sat up to check it.
But to her surprise, there was no blood seeping through the handkerchief. She opened the handkerchief, and now, even more shocked, she widened her eyes and unwillingly checked several times. There wasn’t a single scratch on her finger.
If it weren’t for the bloodstains on her fingertip and handkerchief, she would have thought she was hallucinating.
Oh my God, what is going on?
Why is it that the place that was clearly cut open is now intact? She stared at her finger for a long time and then suddenly thought, could it be that she came across some great opportunity without knowing it?
Then she started mumbling to herself: "What kind of great opportunity could it be? A system, a supernatural power, or maybe a space."
Wondering if those things needed some sort of command to activate, she rolled her eyes and said, ’Open sesame,’ but there was no reaction.
Afterwards, she shouted ’System,’ but still nothing happened. Finally, she somewhat disappointedly said casually, "Enter."
Unexpectedly, she fell onto a piece of land, shocking Yu Xinyan. After taking a moment to collect herself, she murmured, "Is this really a golden finger given by the heavens?"
She quickly got up from the ground.
Seeing the scene before her, it all seemed a bit unreal. The space was about three acres in size. Apart from a small river at the edge and a bamboo house not far from the river, she couldn’t see much else as the edges were shrouded in dense fog.
Yu Xinyan was worried that Lyu Juncheng might come over soon, so she glanced at the empty space and thought it would be safer to explore it in the evening.
Thinking about going out, she found herself in the guesthouse room again, still feeling a bit dazed and finding it all exceptionally unreal.
She repeatedly went in and out many times until she finally believed she indeed had a golden finger, only calming down after a long while.
But even after waiting until after lunchtime, Lyu Juncheng still hadn’t appeared.
She got up and walked outside. Since he hadn’t come, she couldn’t just wait here.
She only had five yuan on her, so she needed to go out and see if she could think of a way to make money. This was one of the only two important things at present.
Leaving the guesthouse, she walked for over ten minutes before exiting the factory gate, following a dirt road that led past distant villages and vast farmlands.
Just as she was frowning in despair and feeling downcast, she suddenly heard someone shouting from afar, "Someone fell into the water! Quick, save them!"
Yu Xinyan’s actions moved faster than her brain, and she took off running toward the voice. When she got there, she saw two children struggling in the water, surrounded on the bank by a few panicked kids.
She could swim, but she had never swum in such a deep river. The Yuquan River was not only wide but deep, its bottom unseen. Her rudimentary swimming skills left her with no confidence that she could save them, but at the moment, with lives at stake, she was desperate and anxious.
She wanted to shout for the kids to help, but having lived at the Mechanical Factory for only a short time in her past life, and with Lyu Juncheng being transferred to the newly opened factory a few years later, she really couldn’t recognize any of the kids on the bank.
