Chapter 15
Oh, there was also sister-in-law Liu Ling. She also died a tragic death.
After the An family was destroyed, big brother was also forced to leave the army because of the stain on him, and was killed by An Meiyun who conspired with the Black Dragon Mountain bandits who had seemingly reformed.
Four-year-old Little Wenqing was tricked out by An Meiyun and kidnapped. Liu Ling had just lost her husband and now lost her son too. She became somewhat neurotic, and later was also tricked by An Meiyun to the mountains. When she regained consciousness, she bit off her own tongue and bled to death.
Every time someone in the An family died, An ZhiXia watched helplessly by the side. But she was powerless to help them.
She couldn’t save herself or them.
An ZhiXia opened her eyes, remembering those tragic scenes, and uncontrollably shed tears, frightening An Zhiang who was watching her.
"Little sister, what's wrong? Did fourth brother say something wrong?"
An Zhiang hurriedly used his clothes to wipe away her tears. But An ZhiXia grabbed him in a hug. "Fourth brother, I just want to hug you."
"Okay, fourth brother will hug you," An Zhiang said, caressing her withered hair, vaguely understanding that she must be remembering some sad things.
Damn Gao family. If I had known earlier, I should have punished them more severely.
Outside, Liu Ling called him, "Zhiang, Liu Jun is waiting for you at the door."
An Zhiang was eager to know the fate of the Gao family. He gently patted An ZhiXia's shoulder, "Little sister, I'm going to find out how they punished the Gao family."
An ZhiXia quickly stood properly, "Then go ahead, fourth brother. I'll take a nap in the room." When An Zhiang went out, he even closed the door for her. An ZhiXia sat on the bed and took out the jade pendant that she had hurriedly stuffed into her pocket just now.
Just now, suddenly, she felt the jade pendant grow hot. An Zhiang happened to knock on the door then, so she pretended nothing was wrong.
Now when she took it out again, the hot feeling was gone, leaving her unable to figure out what had happened.
An ZhiXia looked again and found that there seemed to be something inside the jade pendant.
To see it more clearly, she brought the jade pendant close to her eyes. A flash of white light, and the jade pendant suddenly turned into a tablet, merging with the space in her body.
An ZhiXia felt she was really lucky. Perhaps in her previous life she had suffered too much, so this life the heavens were compensating her.
First there was the Meteor Space, and now this jade contained an Interdimensional Trading Device.
An ZhiXia suppressed her inner excitement and carefully examined it.
At this time, the jade had completely merged with the space. In the open space not far from the river in the space, a very sci-fi looking building appeared out of thin air.
Previously she had felt the space was so big yet so empty without even a house. Now another wish was fulfilled.
The interior of the house was also very sci-fi. It had sofas, tables, chairs and everything. At the place for the work desk was a very large electronic screen filled with mysterious cosmic images.
This was the trading device connected to the interdimensional trading mall.
An ZhiXia immediately started fiddling with it. She chose to click on one of the stars, and that star instantly lit up.
A page popped up saying "Large farmer from the modern dimension has added you as a friend."
The page changed again. She clicked to enter the product showcase of the Large Farmer. There were only two types of products, all pre-cut meat. Clicking further led to product descriptions.
An ZhiXia had just started browsing when the Large Farmer sent a message, "Hello, my shop is small but we have all kinds of items for eating, drinking, clothing and use. Let me know if you need anything."
An ZhiXia quickly replied, "Then why do you only have two products in your shop?" The other party immediately sent another message, "You must be a newcomer who just got an Interdimensional Trading Device right? I suggest you read the introduction about the Interdimensional Trading Device first."
An ZhiXia quickly went to read it, and found out that the product display slots in the trading device had to be purchased. Also, other than the one friend gifted when first getting the device, opportunities to gain more friends had to be purchased with Star Coins, the currency used in the trading device.
Of course, An ZhiXia currently had 0 Star Coins. Friends could also choose to barter items between themselves, which was quite humane.
They could also sell their things to the Interdimensional Trading Device in exchange for Star Coins. But the device was very selective about what it wanted, and the things it wanted were usually very precious or hard to obtain.
An ZhiXia opened her personal introduction, and found her name was actually Era Rich Girl!
Fortunately, the trading device came with a free name change card she could use. Further name changes would require purchasing a name change card with Star Coins.
An ZhiXia decisively changed her name to Era Little Rich Woman, which was also her goal for the future.
As for the personal description below, she wrote "Mainly agricultural and aquatic products, various Chinese herbs".
She wrote according to the items currently in her space. As she obtained other things in the future, she could edit it again.
An ZhiXia didn't have any product display slots yet, so she couldn't upload pictures either.
She contacted the Large Farmer again, "Hello, Large Farmer, can I barter items with you?" Large Farmer: "That depends on whether your items are what I need. After all, my time period isn't too far from yours, and is much more advanced. But things like jade, gold, pearls and jewelry from your period should be very cheap. If you have such things."
As for antiques, forget it. The two were not from the same dimension, just had similar historical development paths. Antiques from that side could not withstand scrutiny on this side.
An ZhiXia thought about it. She didn't have jade, gold, pearls or jewelry. But she did have a space, with various seafood in the sea and river, precious medicinal herbs in the fields, and fruits and vegetables in the orchards.
Having experienced the 21st century, An ZhiXia naturally knew what could arouse the other party's desire to trade.
"I don't have those things you mentioned yet. But I do have hundred-year ginseng, lingzhi mushrooms, gastrodia, dendrobium..."
Large Farmer: "If you really have hundred-year ginseng and lingzhi, we can certainly trade. What do you need from my side? Should I introduce the types of items I have?"
Of course the Large Farmer wasn't afraid the other party was lying, because once a trade was made, the Interdimensional Trading Device would automatically form a contract. And whichever side violated it or falsified things would receive punishment from the device. That was no simple punishment, and could very possibly result in loss of the trading device. No one would be so foolish as to give up such an amazing gold finger for a tiny bit of advantage.
An ZhiXia didn't need an introduction at all, and simply asked about prices.
