I used rebirth to bury his captivating gaze.

Chapter 10 Space Appears

Ever since that day when Wu Sanbao and his two sons watched a movie shown by the village committee, the gossip in the village and neighboring villages about Yang Yuqiu of the Yang family compound being put in a sack has shifted to Wu Sanbao being put in a sack while watching the movie.

Wu Sanbao never expected that his happy trip to the village square to watch a movie would turn into an unwitting scapegoat for Yang Yuqiu's scandal.

That's how it works: using a new, similar incident can divert the attention of those spreading rumors. Therefore, the incident of Yang Yuqiu being stuffed in a sack becomes less important!

Yang Yuhan's unintentional malicious hype will soon pass! The real culprit behind this scandal is someone from inside the Yang family compound!

From then on, Wu Sanbao's gossipy mouth temporarily shut up. She dared not spread rumors anymore, saying that if she did, the large sack over her head would automatically move onto her head and stay there for three days and three nights.

While watching a movie, she unknowingly played a huge prank on her, putting a large burlap sack over her head for three days and three nights, and no one could remove it.

For three days and three nights, she hadn't had a drop of water or a bite of food. Her husband, too, had spent those three days and three nights at Widow Li's house on the west side of the village, indulging in pleasure.

The incident began like this: that night, behind the large screen showing movies in the square in front of the brigade office, the tall boy that Yang Yuhan was chasing actually ran behind Zou Jun, snatched the large sack from Zou Jun's arms, and then put it over Wu Sanbao's head.

Immediately afterwards, the sack that was put over Wu Sanbao's head turned out to be, for some reason, not Zou Jun's sack, but Song the Blind's sack.

Zou Jun and Yu Yanli were both shocked. Their large sack had vanished without a trace, and now it was back in Zou Jun's arms! It was truly an evil spirit!

The two people behind the movie screen who put the sack over Wu Sanbao's head were Yang Zhi, the tall one, and Liu Hua, Liu Ying's third sister, the short one.

While Yang Zhi suddenly finished watching the movie and put a sack over Wu Sanbao's head, Yang Yuhan watched from a dark corner and chuckled to herself!

Three days and three nights later, the large sack of blind Song that had been placed over Wu Sanbao's head was released and disappeared again.

Yang Zhi was still a junior high school student, but he didn't study properly. He was dating a female member of the commune in his village, and he didn't watch the movie properly. What kind of big burlap sack was he putting on Wu Sanbao? The old lady and old man, his father Yang Zhanxi, and his mother Diao Yan were so angry that they scolded him for three days.

Afterwards, Yang Yuhan learned that the reason Yang Zhi suddenly put a sack over Wu Sanbao's head that night while watching a movie was that he had long wanted to punish the culprit who spread rumors about Yuqiu in the village.

He was chatting with a girl who looked like Liu Ying's third sister behind the movie screen, while he kept peering into the crowd in front of the movie screen, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

When he saw Wu Sanbao's two sons playing with sacks, subtly mocking Yu Qiu for spreading rumors about her, he flew into a rage. He decided to use the same method to put a sack over Wu Sanbao's head—fight fire with fire!

After snatching the sack from Zou Jun's hand, Yang Zhi immediately ran to Wu Sanbao to put the sack on. Although he was flustered, he did see that there were two black characters "Zou Jun" on the sack.

But after he put the black characters on Wu Sanbao's head, the two black characters suddenly turned into a red character in the Song font.

Strangely, even Yu Yanli and her son Zou Jun couldn't understand why the sack in Zou Jun's hand was snatched away that day, but suddenly it was back in his hands?

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Then Yuqiu's in-laws, the Zou family, were also in chaos, with one side wanting to break off the engagement and the other wanting to get married.

Yang Yuhan ignored all the other messy things and still wanted to go to school. In her previous life, she was a graduate of a provincial medical college. Now she was a fifth-grade elementary school student. How could school be better than home?

Times have changed. Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it! Now that I've possessed the original owner's body, I should do something for her. The female protagonist in the previous life also had her share of unfulfilled desires, and there was a mystery that someone hadn't solved.

After being reborn, she wants to fulfill her dream from her previous life and settle the grudges and grievances from that life.

In this life, I must see that man from my past life, the one with the question mark?, and ask him what exactly happened. What dangers were hidden behind that captivating gaze of his in my past life?

She wants to find her biological parents from her past life! She wants to use the wealth she has in this life to honor them!

Three days later, Yang Yuhan returned to the village school to attend classes, carrying the original owner's cloth schoolbag with red and white flowers on one shoulder.

Xingfu Primary and Secondary School is located at the southernmost end of Daxing'an Village, about one kilometer away from the village.

The school's classrooms were a series of mud-brick houses covered with thatch, and the courtyard walls were made of black soil and straw. They were constructed by pressing long template blocks together with manpower, a feat of the times!

They also inserted many small pieces of glass into the earthen wall while the soil was still damp to prevent anyone from jumping in.

Outside the campus grows a row of withered poplar trees from Northeast China, which are in autumn in October.

From time to time, the cheerful voices of young elementary school students reading the text "Ode to the Poplar" could be heard from inside the classroom.

Sparse, light snowflakes fell on the poplar grass on the classroom roof.

She and Liu Ying happily stepped onto the light snow on the frozen black earth, their feet crunching underfoot.

As the two girls approached the school gate, they saw Blind Song and his two lackeys standing menacingly in front of a withered poplar tree at a corner, watching them intently as they approached.

Seeing their terrifying posture, Liu Ying shrank back slightly and then grabbed the back of Yu Han's clothes, stopping the two of them in their tracks.

She whispered in Yu Han's ear, "Look at how aggressive Blind Song is, he must want that thing from you."

Yang Yuhan glanced at Liu Ying, grinned, and chuckled inwardly without saying anything. Then, she replied in a low voice, "You'll see what's going to be good soon. Come on, don't be afraid, we can't be late for class."

“Ah! Yuhan, you’re not afraid of him anymore? You used to be very afraid of him. Have you forgotten how he bullied us so much that we almost dropped out of school and went home?”

"Liu Ying, how could you forget this? That day, he went with us to harvest corn in the west of the village to deal with someone. Didn't Blind Song act very obedient and well-behaved? What's so scary about him?"

"I'm talking about the time before you got sick. After you recovered, you suddenly became bolder? And when you talk to people, you're not as shy as you used to be."

How could things not change? She's lived two lives! Besides, her physical body isn't even her own anymore. She couldn't tell Liu Ying these things.

She chuckled softly, "Those three school bullies wanted me today for that good thing that Blind Song had never seen before, which I promised him a few days ago."

"So do you have it or not? What if you can't produce it? If he finds out you deliberately lied to him and that he went to the cornfield to do 'that' for you, those three are so fierce, they'd probably eat us alive."

"Liu Ying, this has nothing to do with you. Go back to class first. I can't let you get involved."

"No, don't be afraid, I'll stay with you. After all, we're best friends." She said, pulling on the back of Yu Han's clothes and following closely behind her.

Yu Han turned around and grinned at her, then turned back to the front, reached out a hand to take her small, cold hand from behind, and continued striding towards the school gate.

Before long, the two walked up to the three thugs and stopped without saying a word.

The dirt path leading to school is the only way for all teachers and students.

Yang Yuhan, displaying composure in the face of danger, raised her head and said calmly, "The three of you are deliberately blocking us from coming to the office to teach. Are you trying to extort something from me?"

Seeing Yang Yuhan arrive without any fear, Song Zou's face immediately showed a smug and unruly smile. He was determined to give this girl a good beating for her sudden strange behavior.

That day, when she went to the cornfield west of the village, she showed a newfound boldness. Despite how badly she treated her cousin, Blind Song still couldn't understand why Yang Yuhan in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar.

He shook his short legs and glanced at his two lackeys beside him. One of the lackeys, with his middle-parted hair, said obsequiously, "You're asking a question you already know the answer to. You've been lying to the boss for days. You'd better hand over the stuff to Boss Song right now, or our boss will make you regret it."

Yang Yuhan said disdainfully, "If I can't hand it over, what will your boss do then?"

"What can you do? All the teachers and students in the school have gone into the classrooms to have class. Now it's just the two of you left here. Even a god can't save you then."

"What should we do about Yu Han?" Liu Ying whispered behind her.

Yang Yuhan turned her head and looked at the school classroom. It was class time, and the dirt playground was quiet and empty.

The corner outside the main gate is a short distance from the classroom, about a ten-minute walk.

In late October of the 1970s and 80s in Northeast China, thick blue plastic sheets were nailed to the outside of the windows, making it difficult for people inside the classroom to see what people outside looked like, let alone those at the corner outside the school gate!

"Yu Han, should we hurry to the classroom and tell the teacher to help us?" Liu Ying looked anxiously toward the school office, wishing a savior would come out immediately.

Seeing that Yang Yuhan ignored her, as if she hadn't heard her, Liu Ying straightened her chest and boldly peeked out from behind Yuhan, barely managing to speak.

"Song, Song Zou, why did you suddenly turn on us? That day when you went to harvest corn with us, didn't you want to become sworn brothers with us? You were so well-behaved that day, why did you suddenly change your attitude?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Who wants to become sworn brothers with you, you stinking bitch? That day it was all about getting that rare thing of hers. Things are different now. Hurry up and hand it over, or you'll hand it over for her?"

"I... I have nothing to give you." Liu Ying said, then regretted it and hid her head completely behind Yu Han.

"Yeah! Boss, why don't you bring her home and make her your wife? Haha!" The side-parted henchman said with a wicked grin.

"Hu Guang, you're quite clever. That's what I was thinking too. Liu Ying is quite plump, like a cotton ball. It would be very comfortable to sleep next to her for a night." The sidekick with the center-parted hair looked suspicious and provocative.

"Shut the fuck up. Are you here to ask for something or for someone? If you're asking for someone, you can't ask for her ugly face. You'd be more interested in her front."

"Yes, boss, you're absolutely right. Yu Han is so fair-skinned, with big, fluffy, dark eyes, and especially those willow-leaf eyebrows—they're so dark, like they've been painted with black ink! She's really adorable! We two aren't cut out for her, so let's save her for our boss, Song! Haha."

"Haha!" The two little followers sang in unison.

Yang Yuhan wasn't angry when she heard this. In her previous life, there were countless obstacles like this. It was just that she was too beautiful, which meant she was bound to attract unnecessary trouble.

She stretched out her hands, ready to retaliate and deal with the three thugs, when suddenly, a middle-aged man carrying a long wooden stick came hurriedly from the east side of the dirt road towards her!

Yang Yuhan had long anticipated that this person would come, but she hadn't expected him to arrive so hastily at this time! She chuckled to herself, slowly bringing her hands together and bending them naturally!

Her letter arrived just in time, a free savior!

"Emma! Yuhan, a fight is about to break out! Let's run!" Liu Ying said forcefully, and Yuhan was immediately pulled away, and the two of them started running!

Yang Yuhan was forcibly pulled into a place by a divine force.

"Ah! Yu Han, where is this? How did we get here? This place is so beautiful, so magical! There's an ocean, there's ethereal mist, and there's greenery, flowers, and grass..."

"Liu Ying, you're dreaming. Of course, anything can happen in a dream. What you see in your dream will return to normal once you wake up."

Yang Yuhan scanned the surroundings of the new world with her eyes, and suddenly she noticed a large sack placed in a dark corner around a bend. The word "Song" was clearly visible in large red characters on the sack.

The large sack was placed in a spot visible only to Yang Yuhan's large eyes; even if others had very special, bright eyes, they were essentially blind.

There was no light at all in this dark corner; it was the place where something evil resided!

No matter where you are, even in heaven, there is good and bad. Could this new world be the same? The good will not be left to sink into darkness!

Of course, Yang Yuhan has now entered a wonderful fairy tale world!

She wanted to confirm that there was something in that dark corner that Liu Ying was very familiar with.

She then asked, "Liu Ying, you have beautiful thoughts in your heart, so you only see good things. Look over there in the dark, is there anything there?"

"Ah! This place is so beautiful, all light and blue, it seems like it will never get dark, how could there be any darkness?"

"Just take a look, and then you can give your opinion, right?"

"Okay, let me take a look."

"Oh dear! There really are dark places."

"Did you see anything placed in that darkness?"

"It's so dark there's not a ray of light, you wouldn't be able to see anything. Did you see anything? Tell me quickly what rare treasures you saw, and we'll take them home."

"I can see that you think I'm a mouse with eyes that catch mice at night."

"Of course, I'm so happy I'm treating you like a god. Yuhan, why don't we go over and take a look?"

"Forget it, what if the Big Bad Wolf inside eats us and we can't get home?"

"Yu Han, does that mean we'll be locked up here forever and never be able to go home?"

"Don't you love this wonderful world? Why don't you stay here forever? Hehe!"

"That won't do, oh, we still have to see our families and go home. Waaah! Are we really never going back, Yuhan?"

"Just kidding. When you wake up from your dream, you'll be home. You'll be lying on the kang (heated brick bed) by your doorstep when you open your eyes."

"Ah! Is that so? Is this a dream, a dream?" Liu Ying nodded.

Liu Yingxin replied, "Ah! What's going on? You were in my dream too! We really are inseparable!"

Yang Yuhan was secretly delighted. It turned out that she had unintentionally obtained a large space, which she immediately named "Dream Space"!
