A new power
When the four of them were half-full, Jiang Xia said, “Xiao Gu, we searched the entire courtyard just now, but we couldn't find you. Where did you hide?”
“You know the wall behind Grandpa and grandma's house? There's a small path there.” Jiang Gu explained. Jiang Xia then recalled a part of her past.
There was indeed a small path behind the main house, but rather than calling it a small path. It would be more accurate to call it a crack between the house and the wall. Jiang Xia had told Jiang Gu about this place in the past, but as Jiang Xia grew up, she could no longer fit in there.
Patting Jiang Gu's shoulder, Jiang Xia gave her a thumbs-up and praised her, “Great job!”
Jiang Gu blushed again after receiving such a sudden compliment.
Zhou Lan was happy to see her two daughters getting along so well. She and Jiang Chuan always wanted to have two or three children, but she was already very old when she gave birth to Jiang Xia.
But now, Jiang Gu's arrival made up for this regret. She still had an elder daughter. When they finally settled down, she would bring her back, and the family of five would live happily together.
With one arm carrying Jiang Gu and the other holding Jiang Chuan, Zhou Lan smiled at Jiang Xia and said, “You are all my good daughters. Our family's future will only get better!”
Jiang Xia nodded her head vigorously. She believed her mother's words.
As they were getting emotional, Jiang Xia suddenly felt her stomach growling and said, “I, I'm going to the toilet.”
Zhou Lan, who wanted to say something, suddenly stopped. She then told Jiang Xia, both angry and amused, “Hurry up and go. Come back and listen to what I have to say.”
“Alright!” Jiang Xia replied and ran to the toilet. She did not forget to grab some toilet paper.
In the countryside of this era, the toilets were all located outside. They were dirty and smelly, and Jiang Xia almost fainted when she opened the door. Jiang Xia pinched her nose and endured the disgust before she finished using the toilet.
When Jiang Xia came out of the toilet, she was holding the small and exquisite jade in the shape of a bamboo joint.
She had placed it in her pocket yesterday and had forgotten about it. She felt it in her pocket when she went to the toilet.
As Jiang Xia was touching the Jade, she suddenly felt the world spinning around her. When she opened his eyes again, she found herself in an unfamiliar grassland.
“Where is this? Am I not at home? I should be at home! I want to go home!” The sudden turn of events terrified Jiang Xia so much that she could not make a sound and could only scream in her mind.
The next second, she appeared at the door of the toilet again.
Fortunately, the other members of the Jiang family were all eating in the house, so no one saw what had just happened. Otherwise, they would all go crazy.
Jiang Xia touched her chest and panted with lingering fear. What happened to her just now? Was she hallucinating?
When Jiang Xia returned to her room, Jiang Chuan noticed her unusual behavior. She looked as if she had just lost her soul after going to the toilet?
“Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia, what are you thinking about?” Jiang Chuan called out, which caused Zhou Lan and Jiang Gu also look over.
Jiang Xia slowly started focusing on her surrounding. Her gaze stopped on Zhou Lan, and her eyes lit up instantly.
“Dad, come here for a moment.” After saying that, Jiang Xia took the lead and walked out.
Jiang Chuan gave his wife a look. Although his daughter was wise, it was never good to know too much.
Zhou Lan understood what Jiang Chuan meant. She mumbled to Jiang Gu, “Your father and sister are being so mysterious as if we are so interested in their little secret. Let's not care about them, continue telling me how your grandparents had bullied you in the past two days when we were up the mountain. When we move out, I will help you take revenge!”
While Zhou Lan was listening to her younger daughter, Jiang Chuan followed his second daughter out of the room.
Jiang Xia lowered his voice and said to Jiang Chuan, “Father, I think I have a special power too.”
“What power?” Jiang Chuan said in surprise.
Jiang Xia looked around to ensure no one was around before she took out the Jade necklace and disappeared.
When it happened for the first time just now, Jiang Xia was not prepared and panicked. This time, however, Jiang Xia quickly scanned her surroundings when she opened her eyes. Her father was still waiting for her, and she had to explain the situation to him as soon as possible.
The sky was blue, the water was clear, and there was an endless grassland. There was a piece of land beside the river that had been cultivated. Jiang Xia ran over to take a look and noticed that it was pure black soil.
