Chapter 62 - 62

Chapter 62 The Wind Rises 2Lin Xiuxiu was moved to tears. When the strong wind was about to blow in, her first thought was that she was about to die.She died without getting married or having children; she hadn't completed any of the steps a woman should take in life.However, with Jin Jun by my side, death doesn't seem so hard to accept; at least I have loved ones around me."Okay, I agree!"Jin Jun hugged the person and then said to his brothers,"I'm getting married today. Each of you should say a word of blessing as my wedding gift!"Getting married in such an environment leaves everyone feeling uneasy.Su Xiaoyu took a red box out of her pocket containing a pair of rings. She had just grabbed a box from her spatial storage. Upon opening it and seeing the pair of rather pretty rings, she handed it to Lin Xiuxiu."Have him put it on you!"Lin Xiuxiu was overjoyed to see the ring. A wedding always needs a sense of ceremony; it can't be accomplished with just words.Jin Jun then awkwardly took the ring and, while putting it on Lin Xiuxiu's finger,"Xiu, I promise you, if we're lucky enough to survive, I'll make you the happiest woman in the world!""Yes, I believe you."The two then embraced tightly, and everyone applauded. The atmosphere reached its peak, as if life and death were no longer important.Gu Lingxiao felt that Su Xiaoyu really had no feelings for Lin Xiuxiu at all, otherwise why would she have taken out a ring?My poor little brother, what if no one chooses him in the future?Then he should take good care of his younger brother, and the two of them can just make do. There's no need for him to find a woman to marry.Su Xiaoyu had no idea that Gu Lingxiao had imagined so much.The good news lessened some of the previous fears.Everyone ate and drank as usual, even though the house was still cold, even colder than before, and their teeth were frozen when they ate.They were still very happy. They figured that living in pain was one minute, and living happily was another minute, so they might as well be happy!Su Xiaoyu started the class by having them sing.I could feel the wind seeping in through the gaps again, and I didn't want them to adjust the mattress.After one song ended, they sang another.Gu Lingxiao looked up at the window. He seemed to feel the wind, just as he was about to speak.A powerful hurricane struck, and he only had time to grab Su Xiaoyu's arm, trying to pull her into his arms.As a result, his hand missed.The powerful wind made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes, and the extreme cold instantly froze them.Su Xiaoyu took the opportunity to bring everyone into the space, and they maintained their previous postures.Decisively stopping them is equivalent to freezing their consciousness in that instant, preventing them from waking up.After finishing, I checked everyone's breathing with my hands to make sure they were all alive before I breathed a sigh of relief.It's good to be back in this space; it's no different from the outside world except that there's no sun.Last time we brought in a batch of gold, a mountain appeared, and before we knew it, some trees seemed to have grown out of it. It looks quite interesting.After thinking about it, I realized I couldn't let them stay in that position; it would be too uncomfortable for them.I got some mattresses, along with pillows and blankets, and planned to put them on them to sleep.Once the weather outside warms up, we can take them outside.Lin Xiuxiu smiled happily. Now that she and Jin Jun had gotten married in front of everyone, they could sleep together. She decisively chose a red theme for them—red sheets, blankets, and pillowcases—which looked especially festive.She was fairly satisfied with her arrangement, just as she turned around.Gu Lingxiao stood behind her, panting heavily, as if she had just gotten up not long ago.The two locked eyes.Su Xiaoyu realized what was happening and waved her hand in front of him. Just when she thought he had simply stood up unconsciously, her hand was decisively grabbed.After confirming that it was Su Xiaoyu in front of her, Gu Lingxiao slowly released her hand and saw that everyone else had been arranged to lie on the mattress and covered with a blanket.There was also an empty mattress next to him, obviously prepared for him."Xiaoyu, am I dreaming?"Su Xiaoyu walked around him to make sure he was truly awake." Brother Xiao, are you feeling unwell?""No." Gu Lingxiao looked around and saw only endless white. There was no sun in the sky, no clouds, but there was a mountain in the distance.Everything before him told him that everything here was strange.Am I dreaming?Su Xiaoyu found it strange that the space hadn't imposed any restrictions on Gu Lingxiao.Gu Lingxiao, "Can you tell me where this is?"Su Xiaoyu felt that since it couldn't be restricted, it meant there must be some kind of connection between him and the space. Unable to make a judgment, she could only conclude that..."This is my secret. You saw it yourself just now; the windows in the building were blown open by the wind. If you had stayed inside any longer, you might be a pile of corpses by now.""Well, you don't need to explain so much. If it weren't for you, we would all be dead." Gu Lingxiao felt relieved to know it wasn't a dream, but then she felt a slight pain in her shoulder.Seeing him clutching his shoulder, Su Xiaoyuquickly went over and took off his coat. The temperature inside remained around 18 degrees Celsius.There was no need to wear so much. After taking off his coat, he immediately took off his hoodie underneath, wanting to see his arms.After catching her breath, Gu Lingxiao realized this place was a huge secret and couldn't be known by too many people, especially with the ongoing natural disasters. If others knew about this place, they would definitely try to take it away.I know those people's methods too well, so the secret must remain a secret, and the fewer people who know it, the better."This secret is best kept to me. Don't wake them up. The situation outside is unstable, and this secret must be kept. Do you have any other drugs or something stored here? My shoulder is a little sore."Seeing the redness and swelling on her shoulder, Su Xiaoyu recalled how, in the instant the object flew through the window, the man had tightly held her in his arms, otherwise she would have been injured.While feeling touched, I was even more reluctant to kill him.In the blink of an eye, a medicine box appeared out of thin air.After opening it, I found all kinds of medicine. I first found a spray to stop the pain and sprayed it on the wound."It seems there's no bone damage. The pain should subside temporarily. The first-aid kit has all kinds of medicines; you can take them."Gu Lingxiao moved her shoulder and felt the pain lessen. She rummaged through the medicine box with her other hand, found some medicated wine, poured it out, and applied it to her shoulder. She knew that only by rubbing away the bruises would the pain lessen. She endured the pain and rubbed it a few times. Only when she felt some relief did she speak."Take them out when things are a bit better outside. Don't reveal the secrets here to them. Remember that!"
