A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.

The train bound for Hebei Province.

Lin Yinyin boarded the train on time. Her seat was indeed next to the front of the train, a small, independent compartment with two levels, much more compact than a regular sleeper berth. It was clearly a rest room for railway employees.

No wonder they didn't charge her. But it's better this way; it's quiet and peaceful.

Lin Yinyin went to bed and fell asleep immediately. She slept soundly from the deep of night until noon the next day, when the rumbling in her stomach finally pulled her out of her sleep.

I checked the lower bunk and it was still empty, so I took out a steamed bun and a braised pork knuckle from my storage space. Mmm, it smells so good.

After eating two, he pulled out a steamed bun and a tea egg!

She was too thin. She planned that at 1.6 meters tall, she should weigh at least 120 pounds to be considered perfect. She liked the look of someone with a little bit of meat on her bones.

This wasn't just a random thought; it was her future life goal!

I had just peeled the tea eggs when the person in the lower bunk came back.

The middle-aged man's dark blue uniform still smelled of coal smoke; he was clearly a train driver.

He noticed the food in Lin Yinyin's hand. "Little girl, there's some hot porridge in the food cart. You can go and get some to eat."

"No need, uncle. Eggs and steamed buns are filling and nutritious enough. I'm fine eating these."

The middle-aged man nodded and put down the enamel mug in his hand: "That's fine. This train journey will take two days, and it'll be boring to just lie around all the time. If you're bored, go for a walk in the aisle and get some fresh air."

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle," Lin Yinyin replied obediently, though she thought to herself that she wasn't going!

She did remember what kind of special train this was, and if she ran into Li Jinye or something again, she wouldn't be able to escape on the train.

Now that she has food and drink, she should rest properly for two days.

After the uncle left, she finished her food in a few bites and went back to sleep.

I woke up once in the afternoon when the sun was setting, drank some water, and went back to sleep.

In total, she slept for more than twenty hours, finally getting rid of all the accumulated fatigue.

She stared at the roof of the car, pondering the path she would take next.

She will see her sister in eight hours. If her sister is suffering, she will rescue her; if her sister is doing well, she will leave without disturbing her.

As for her future, she wants to find a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains, rent a hilltop or a large courtyard, fill the courtyard with vegetables, raise chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and plant some fruit trees, so that she can achieve food freedom and never have to worry about food and clothing again.

But how can she register her household registration?

China has strict household registration management, and Linjia Village doesn't want to go back.

There are only two ways to transfer your household registration: either get married like your sister, or find a formal job and register your household based on your employment.

She could only dream of eating, drinking, and living a carefree life. She was a saleswoman in a grocery store, a doctor, a nurse, and a factory worker.

Therefore, there is only one way out: marriage.

In this era, soldiers are respected, and their families enjoy many conveniences; for example, her train ticket was obtained through a connection to a military family member.

She could find a soldier, get married first, transfer her household registration to the military family compound, and then divorce him once she's settled. Then she could just take her household registration and live a carefree life wherever she wants.

Of course, she wasn't toying with the soldier's feelings. If the marriage partner was good, she wouldn't mind spending her whole life with him.

Lin Yinyin thought about it more and more and felt that the plan was reliable. When she arrived at the military region and met her sister, she asked her sister to help introduce her to a soldier for a blind date.

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

Having made up her mind, Lin Yinyin took out the half of the gourd-shaped jade pendant from her neck. "Sister, I'm coming!"

The moonlight, like gauze, shone through the car window onto the jade pendant, making the already translucent jade even more lustrous, with what appeared to be shimmering ripples on its surface.

"What a fine piece of jade!" she couldn't help but exclaim.

But as soon as she finished praising it, she frowned. This jade pendant was too exquisite; if others saw it hanging around her neck, she would inevitably be questioned.

So, she casually tossed the jade pendant into her spatial storage.

But the next moment, Lin Yinyin felt her mind suddenly go blank.

Immediately afterwards, a dizzying, earth-shattering sensation swept over me, and a buzzing sound filled my ears, completely drowning out even the clanging of the train.

She clenched her fists, barely managing to keep herself from groaning.

After an unknown amount of time, the buzzing gradually subsided, and the dizziness gradually subsided as well.

The moment her consciousness sank into the space, Lin Yinyin froze.

The space, which was originally only 100 square meters, cramped and dimly lit, has now been expanded to more than twice its original size.

What shocked her even more was that faint rays of light emanated from the previously pitch-black space, where even five fingers could not be seen clearly. Although not dazzling, they were enough to illuminate the supplies piled up in the space.

"Has the space been upgraded?"

You should know that researchers in the post-apocalyptic world had racked their brains but had not been able to find a way to upgrade the space, but now they have made a breakthrough because of a jade pendant!

With a thought, Lin Yinyin completely entered the space.

The air in the space was originally stuffy, and no living thing could survive for more than 10 minutes. Now she could feel that the air circulation had improved, so could she stay there for a longer period of time?

No, she had to try.

So she held Li Jinye's watch and waited quietly in the space.

Time ticked by, and when the clock struck 59 minutes and 59 seconds, a familiar tightness finally rose in my chest, and breathing became difficult.

Lin Yinyin immediately left the space, excitedly wanting to jump up.

She was still on the upper bunk when her head hit the roof of the car with a thud.

She clutched her head, wincing in pain, but the next second, her lips parted involuntarily into a wide grin.

In this day and age, everyone is focused on food; antiques and jade are practically worthless!

She could collect some, and maybe the space could become even larger, allowing her to stay inside for longer. Wouldn't it also allow her to take refuge in any danger for an even longer period?

Lin Yinyin became more and more excited as she thought about it. Did her sister still have half a jade pendant? Her original anticipation of seeing her sister grew even stronger!

Seven hours, just seven more hours!

***

Hebei Province Railway Station.

As soon as the train came to a stop at the Hebei Provincial Railway Station, Lin Yinyin squeezed through the crowd and practically ran off the train.

Finally, she was going to see her sister.

However, when she arrived at the bus stop, she saw a long queue stretching from the bus stop sign all the way to the roadside, with everyone carrying large and small bags.

My God, how long will this take?

Seeing this, an older woman nearby kindly said, "Young lady, judging from your appearance, you must be from another province, right? We're all on this train going to visit relatives in the military region. By the way, where's your bag?"

The old woman's words reminded Lin Yinyin that she had been doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and getting excited about the spatial dimension these past two days, even forgetting about basic disguise. So she looked at the old woman, "Auntie, I almost forgot! I left my backpack on the train! Thank you!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the supply and marketing cooperative next to the train station.

It would be embarrassing for her to visit her sister's house empty-handed if her in-laws were there, so she needed to bring a nice gift to make a good impression.

The glass display case at the supply and marketing cooperative was filled with various goods. She quickly picked out a dark blue crossbody bag to use as a disguise, and also bought a bag of apples, a bag of peach shortbread cookies, and two cans of food. When the bill came out, it was a whopping 3.2 yuan. That was too expensive, but it was worth it for her sister.
