Chapter 1448: Chapter 1448: The Well Is Completed (4)
âSis?â Yu Qinggeâs face was rarely serious, âWhat did he say?â
âHe wants to have a talk with meâŠâ Yang Ruxin shrugged her hands.
âIâll go with you.â Yu Qingge showed a determined expression.
âWhy would you come with me? Are you good at fighting or running?â Yang Ruxin burst into laughter, âDo you think this is a group fight where more people mean an advantage? Even if it were a fight, you wouldnât be much use anyway.â
Yu Qingge also knew he wasnât of much help at the moment and could only sigh and nod, âAlright, then you be careful, and if itâs not going well, let Xuxu go with you, sheâs really good at kung fuâŠâ
Yang Ruxin shook her head, âNo need, weâre not fighting, and besides, even if a fight did break out, they wouldnât stand a chance against Xiaolun and Xiaoyin. So, donât worry, and besides, if he really did want to harm me, heâd start with the people close to me. Youâd be my weakness, so the best help you can give is to protect yourselfâŠâ
After calming everyone down, Yang Ruxin returned to her room and quickly entered her secret space as soon as she closed the door. Just as she stepped in, a piece of information popped into her mind â her space had gained a new function once again.
This new feature made Yang Ruxin very happy; there was finally water in the space, to be precise, a well had appeared. But what made Yang Ruxin want to curse was the fact that there was just a solitary well, and to draw water from it, she would have to prepare a rope bucket or install a windlass.
She had long realized that this space was stingy and fickle, so she didnât even bother to complain. After all, anything that appeared was a bonus.
Fortunately, the water level was just over a meter below the wellâs edge, so she took a big bowl, leaned over on the ground to scoop up the water with effort, sniffed it, and there was no smell. Sipping it, the water tasted sweet. However, since she didnât know if it had any strange effects, she dared not drink more. She set it aside after one sip, deciding to wait for some time to see if there are any side effects.
Without any other changes, Yang Ruxin harvested the crops in the ground once more, then left the space carrying a carrot, as it was about the time she had agreed to meet.
She still hadnât figured out the exact ratio between time in the space and the outside world; all she knew was that time seemed to sync up â no matter how long she stayed inside, the same amount of time would have passed when she emerged.
The crops in the ground, however, matured hundreds of times faster than they would outside, but she didnât worry herself over making sense of it.
Just as she was about to leave with the carrot, she suddenly remembered something and flashed back into the space, searching for the things sheâd brought back from Zhao Feihuâs house. Aside from the black whip and dagger she was now using, and the silver that had been spent, the only thing left was the exquisite large box inlaid with jade plum blossoms.
She had put the box into the space and hadnât looked at it since, nor had she opened the lock. But now that Song San had mentioned it, she needed to see what exactly was inside.
The beautiful box couldnât be damaged, so she had to figure out how to open the copper lock.
For Yang Ruxin, this wasnât difficult. The keyholes of ancient copper locks were generally quite large, so a silver hairpin could easily pry it open.
With a click, the copper lock sprang open.
Yang Ruxin opened the box, but instantly frowned. She reached in to grab the folded items inside but suddenly shuddered and let go. The human skin with a map drawn on it fell back into the box.
