A heart-wrenching pain caused Yang Fan to wake up from his coma, barely able to open his heavy eyelids. The concerned, nervous, and sorrowful face of his mother vaguely appeared before his eyes, and he seemed to hear his mother's distant and sudden shouts.
"Wake up, wake up. Xiaofan is finally awake. Doctor, come quickly …"
Following that, the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard, causing Yang Fan to be in a trance.
"Where is this place?" What's wrong with me? " Yang Fan was simply unable to bear the thought any longer. Merely recalling it for a moment caused him to have a splitting headache. The memories were like images that were being torn apart as they frantically spun in his mind.
Moments later, Yang Fan once again fell unconscious.
Yang Fan had just graduated last year and worked as a trade agent for a business company in Jiangnan City. After entertaining customers one night, on his way back to his residence, he encountered a group of gangsters bullying a woman. The woman ran away, and Yang Fan was beaten unconscious by the infuriated criminal.
When Yang Fan regained consciousness, he heard his mother chatting with a nurse who had changed her medicine, saying that he was lucky to not have the jade pendant in front of his chest and that he would have been stabbed through the heart if not for that.
"The jade pendant on his chest?" Yang Fan recalled, that piece of jade was something he had picked up in his second year of university during the summer vacation. Yang Fan recalled, that piece of jade was something he had picked up in his second year of college during the summer holidays.
Thinking about this, Yang Fan focused his attention onto his chest. Maybe his parents thought that the jade pendant had saved Yang Fan's life, but it hadn't been taken away.
Suddenly, Yang Fan felt a strong suction force coming from the jade pendant, followed by a moment of absent-mindedness. When he regained consciousness, he discovered that he was floating in a misty space, with his body floating in the air. Below his feet was an acre of land, and in the middle of it was a simple and crude thatched cottage.
"What is this place?" The Netherworld Kingdom? Am I already dead? " At this thought, Yang Fan's pale face turned even more unsightly, and he quickly began to inspect everything in the room.
The narrow space was surrounded by white fog. Other than the ground beneath his feet, the thatched cottages on the ground, and the spring water in front of the thatched cottages, he could not see anything else.
He bent down and grabbed a handful of soil, placed it in front of his nose and took a whiff, there was a faint smell of soil fragrance, he then reached his hand into the spring water, it was cool and refreshing, he immediately felt that his spirit was much better than before, and he even washed his face with the spring water, his head immediately no longer ached, such a magical spring!
Just as he was about to take a sip of the spring water, he suddenly heard his mother calling his name. Subconsciously, he answered and felt dizzy. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back on the bed.
"Xiaofan, you're really awake? Don't move anymore. Be careful that you don't pass out as before. I'll go get a doctor. " After saying this, without waiting for Yang Fan's response, Zhong Runjuan hurriedly ran out of the ward and shouted for the doctors and nurses to go with her.
Yang Fan observed his surroundings and discovered that it was an extremely simple and crude ward. The ceiling was a little yellow, and there was even a spider web hanging in the corner of the ceiling.
If it wasn't for his girlfriend breaking up with him recently, Yang Fan wouldn't have drank so much. If he wasn't drunk, Yang Fan would have taken a more intelligent method to save a person. Fighting seven or eight bullies by himself, no wonder he called himself a coward.
Just as he was about to find a phone to call for leave from the company, his mother came back with a doctor and nurse. Watching his mother continuously fawning on him in front of the doctor, begging the doctor to properly treat his disappointing son, Yang Fan felt a burst of bitterness in his heart. He didn't dare to imagine what his parents would look like if he was killed by a criminal.
Heh heh, I've sacrificed myself, where am I now? He was injured, and the one feeling sad was his parents. It seemed like he had to be filial, and not make the mistake of having a child he wanted to raise but not being with.
Unknowingly, Yang Fan's state of mind underwent a drastic change.
After the inspection, Yang Fan's body was fine and he wanted to leave the hospital, but his mother refused to do so. She had to keep watching for a few more days, afraid that he might suffer from some side effects.
Seeing that Yang Fan had recovered from his injuries, Zhong Ruan's mood improved, and she told him about what happened after he lost consciousness from his injuries.
The thugs who injured Yang Fan didn't catch him, nor did they catch the woman who was saved by Yang Fan. What was even more infuriating was that the company that Yang Fan worked for even used the excuse of brawling to expel him.
Yang Fan was infuriated, but in order to console his mother, he forced himself to smile and asked about his father's matters.
Zhong Runjuan told Yang Fan that his father had just returned this morning. Although his mother didn't say what his father was going back for, Yang Fan could guess that he had definitely gone back to borrow money. Once he was hospitalized, who knew how much the family would owe him?
Yang Fan was in a hurry to return home. Firstly, the hospital could not afford it, and secondly, he also wanted to go back and thoroughly study the mysterious space that he had just entered.
The next morning, Yang Fan and his mother went through the discharge procedures. After working, he rented a room in the village in the city. He still needed to go back and clean up.
Ever since his girlfriend had started breaking up with him, Yang Fan had not been in the mood to clean up. There were still a few pieces of his girlfriend's clothes in the room, and they were thrown into the trash by Zhong Runjuan. Since Yang Fan was injured and in a coma, he hadn't even come to the hospital to take a look, not even making a phone call.
Zhong Ruan didn't allow Yang Fan to work, so she busily tidied things up by herself. Yang Fan stood by the window, staring blankly at the two pots of orchids he had dug out from the mountains. His mind was completely focused on the jade pendant in front of his chest.
"Can you bring these two pots of orchids into the space?"
His mind recalled the two pots of orchids in the real world. The soul-like body of consciousness unexpectedly appeared next to the pot and wrapped the two pots of orchids with a strange energy. In the blink of an eye, it returned to the mysterious space.
"This is …" Yang Fan was stunned for a moment. Recalling the process of bringing the orchid into the mysterious space, it seemed like he had done it with just a thought. However, his mind became somewhat tired, as if he hadn't slept for an entire night.
When he thought of the feeling he got from touching the spring water yesterday, Yang Fan hurriedly poured the spring water over his head. His sluggish spirit immediately improved quite a bit. He wanted to try drinking a few mouthfuls of it, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get it into his mouth.
It seemed like his body of consciousness would not be able to drink the spring water directly. It would be better to take the spring water out and test it out in reality.
