After Chen Xiaolin had stocked up on everything, she began to relax and live her life. During this period, she was busy stocking up and had no time to have a good meal with her mother.

Chen Xiaolin drove her beloved car, planning to go to the mall to buy a gift for her mother, and then go back to see her mother. She hadn't seen her for so long that Chen Xiaolin missed her a little.

Chen Xiaolin was driving to the intersection next to the mall, when suddenly a little boy of three or four years old broke free from his mother's hand and ran onto the road. It was too late for Chen Xiaolin to brake, so she crashed into the fence next to her in order to avoid the little boy. Finally, Chen Xiaolin heard the mother's scream, and then she lost consciousness.

When Chen Xiaolin woke up, she felt dizzy. When she opened her eyes, she almost fainted from fright.

Wasn't she in a car accident? How did she end up in such a shabby house? Shouldn't she be sent to the hospital? She looked at the beams on the roof and fell into deep thought. It was already the 21st century, how could there still be such a shabby house? Was she abducted? That was impossible! There were so many people on the road, the traffickers shouldn't be so arrogant!

Suddenly, Chen Xiaolin's mind was filled with the memories of a sixteen-year-old girl. She then realized that she had traveled through time and space and was now in the body of a sixteen-year-old girl whose parents had both passed away.

The owner of this body is also called Chen Xiaolin, she is sixteen years old. Her father is a soldier and was a regiment commander during his lifetime, and her mother is a researcher in a military factory.

Some time ago, the original owner's father received a notice from his superiors, asking him to go to the military factory to protect the original owner's mother. Unexpectedly, last month, because of protecting a research result, the original owner's father and mother were both killed by enemy spies.

The original owner had a high fever last night because he was too sad thinking about his parents. He had a fever all night and no one noticed, so he died.

Chen Xiaolin touched her forehead and found that her fever had not subsided yet, so she quickly took out an antipyretic pill from the space and swallowed it.

After taking the antipyretic medicine, Chen Xiaolin could no longer hold on and fell asleep again. When she was half asleep, she seemed to see the little girl in her memory. She said she was going to find her parents and let herself live well with her body.

Chen Xiaolin suddenly woke up and found that she was sweating and not as hot as she was at the beginning. It seemed that her fever had started to subside. Chen Xiaolin made the best of it. From today on, she was the Chen Xiaolin of the 1970s.

She only has one mother in modern times who is worth her care, but her mother has remarried and has her own life. She hopes her stepfather can make her mother not too sad.

Chen Xiaolin habitually touched the head of the bed, but didn't feel the familiar mobile phone. Then she remembered that she had traveled back to the 1970s.

Chen Xiaolin looked at her watch and realized it was already noon. No wonder she was so hungry.

Chen Xiaolin quickly took out a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge from the space, and finished it in one breath. Chen Xiaolin finally recovered. It's not that she didn't want to eat something else, but for the past half month, because of the death of her parents, Chen Xiaolin had no mood to eat properly. She was afraid that eating greasy food would make her stomach uncomfortable.

After eating, Chen Xiaolin planned to go back to her room to rest for a while. Her head was still dizzy and her whole body felt sore and weak.

When she woke up, the sun was about to set. Chen Xiaolin went to the kitchen to wash the pot and boil water. Although she didn't plan to cook, she still needed to make some smoke, otherwise others would wonder what she was eating at home.

Although Chen Xiaolin no longer had a fever, she was very hungry. She took out a bowl of old hen soup and some meat buns from the space. She planned to have a light meal tonight.

After dinner, Chen Xiaolin planned to take inventory of the things at home.

Chen Xiaolin opened the drawer of her room, which contained her pocket money of four hundred and twenty-one yuan and fifty-eight cents, as well as a stack of various bills.

He took out another box from the closet, which contained a passbook and two thousand yuan in cash.

There was 10,000 yuan in the passbook, which was the pension for the original owner's parents. The 2,000 yuan in cash was the money collected by the original owner's father's comrades-in-arms.

Chen Xiaolin was so happy to see so much money! In those days, rice was only 30 cents per pound, so more than 10,000 yuan would last Chen Xiaolin a long time.

Chen Xiaolin opened the original owner's wardrobe and saw that the clothes inside were almost 80% new. There were six pairs of bras, two woolen coats, five or six shirts, three pairs of black pants, and two new women's military uniforms. These two sets of women's military uniforms were birthday gifts given to her by the original owner's father this year. The original owner had never been willing to wear them, so they were still brand new.

Chen Xiaolin didn't mind at all that the original owner wore these clothes. After all, it was the same body, so what was there to be disgusted about?

After Chen Xiaolin tidied up her own room, she planned to tidy up the original owner's parents' room as well.

Chen Xiaolin came to the original owner's parents' room and

A large box was pulled out from the secret compartment. Chen Xiaolin opened the box according to the method taught by the original owner's father.

There were two passbooks in the box, one with 30,000 yuan and the other with only 15,000 yuan, and 620.5 yuan in cash.

Chen Xiaolin put the passbook and cash in the same box, and then put them all into the space. After all, it was not as safe as putting them in the space anywhere else.

There was also a letter in the box, which should have been written by the original owner's father.

Chen Xiaolin opened the letter and saw that it said: My beloved daughter Linlin, when you read this letter, your parents should be gone. Do you remember the places I took you to when you were a child? There is a secret room under your father's room, which contains the dowry left by your grandmother. Don't take it out now, and come back to get it when the time is right. It's not very safe for you to stay in the city alone now. You can take your things back to your hometown. I have asked your grandfather to help renovate the house in your hometown! You can live in your own home. ..

Chen Xiaolin finished reading the letter in one breath, and she felt really touched. The original owner's parents really loved her and had arranged a way out for her, as they were afraid that their daughter would not have a good life.

Chen Xiaolin is the current beneficiary, so she is really grateful to the original owner's parents. She plans to follow the escape route arranged by the original owner's parents, but she will also take the things in the secret room with her, after all, there is no place that is safer than her space.
