The Second Life of Hu Liena

12. Interested in another dimension.

Hu Liena walked towards the medicinal plant that caught her attention, the closer the clearer the plant she saw. "Ahhh, I'm right it's the Cordyceps Mushroom, in my world this mushroom has become increasingly rare even people who find it." Monologue Hu Liena.

Physician Hong grinned as he saw Hu Liena getting further away from him, "The ancestor turned out to be right, the girl will come by herself."

Meanwhile, Hu Liena did not realize that something was about to happen to her soon.

He kept walking his feet towards the medicinal herbs that were getting closer from his sight, until suddenly Hu Liena lost her balance like something was pulling her body from the bottom.

Aaggghhh....

Hu Liena cried out as she felt her body pull down so quickly that it entered the bottomless black hole.

Aagggh.....

Aagggh.....

Brugggh.....

Hu Liena fell at the bottom of the hole, but strangely she did not feel the slightest pain on her body, instead she felt, if she fell on a padded pad. "Ehh ... What is this?" Said Hu Liena while groping the place on which she was focused.

"This ... It's like seat cushion." He said slowly, he could only guess because the situation was so dark that it was impossible for him to see the area around him.

"CLICK"

There was a sound in the air, and the room that had been dark became bright instantly. "This, isn't this a pharmacy or rather like a drug warehouse." Monologue Hu Liena.

After paying attention to her surroundings, Hu Liena assumed that the place was a place to concoct medicine because there were several tools to concoct and make medicine. There are even hundreds of thousands of jars of medicine that will be endless if sold in a large country.

"WOW! ... I didn't expect that my arrival today to Physician Hong's house would find a place like this." Monologue Hu Liena, she felt astonished by his current place.

When Hu Liena was enjoying the scenery around her, she was shocked by the appearance of an old grandfather's shadow before her.

"Who are you?" Hu Liena moved back in shock at the shadow of the grandfather.

"I am the waiter of this place." Reply Grandpa.

"So you're the owner of this place?" Somehow Hu Liena felt nervous before this old grandfather figure.

"No!" Said the grandfather while shaking his head.

"I was only in charge of guarding this place until the original owner came." Continue the grandfather.

"Oh, so it's like that. It seems like the owner of this place is not just anyone." Hu Liena.

"Grandfather, I was accidentally sucked into this place. If you don't mind, can you tell me the way to the exit?" Hu Liena asked the grandfather.

"Every person who is destined to come is not necessarily destined to go home." Said the grandfather who made Hu Liena confused to interpret the words from him.

"What do you mean grandpa?" Ask curiously.

"You must know what I mean little girl." Reply grandfather calmly.

"You mean, I'll stay here?" Hu Liena raised her eyebrows trying to second-guess.

"It all depends on fate." The grandfather again mentioned fate in his answer, making Hu Liena even more confused.

"Can you tell me more clearly, grandfather, I can't if I have to guess." His words began to growl.

"Alright, since you're the first person to come to this place after 5000 years, then I'll tell you something."

"What's? 5000 years? you've been here that long?" Hu Liena was surprised to hear the grandfather's words.

"Yes you're right little girl." Reply grandfather calmly.

Hu Liena's body suddenly felt limp, her knees no longer able to support her legs. He felt the earth in his massage as if it was shaking and made him lose his balance.

Hu Liena's body decays downwards, she bends her legs then hugs her knees with both hands. Then he cried out to mourn the reality of life he was about to face.

"There's no point in you crying over all this, if it's your destiny no one will be able to change it." Said the grandfather trying to calm Hu Liena.

"How can I go through all this." Lirih Hu Liena while raising her head stared softly at the grandfather.

"Accept your destiny with a breast, that's all that makes you happy." Grandpa softened his voice.

"But I ..," Hu Liena became speechless when she saw the grandfather raising his palm to stop his words.

"You didn't come for no reason, everything was destined." Said the grandfather adding to the confusion in Hu Liena's heart.

"But I don't want to end up like this."Hu Liena shouted hysterically.

"reality is painful and being shackled in delusion only brings misery." Again and again the grandfather spoke words that Hu Liena did not understand.

"I don't understand at all what you're saying, Grandpa."

"You don't have to understand." Answer the grandfather.

"Listen to me little girl, you came because it's time to come." Said the flat grandpa.

"Can you help me grandpa? I don't want to spend all my time in this place." Pinta Hu Liena to the grandfather, she did not want to be confined in this place forever.

"As I said before, since you've come, you've been predestined. Therefore I will be kind enough to tell you something I know."

Despite still not understanding the words spoken by the grandfather, Hu Liena felt that she still had hope.

"What is grandpa?"

"You have been predestined and your arrival has been foreseen." Obviously, grandfather was short.

Splashhh~

Jeddeerrr~

Jeddeerrr~

Like there was a sound of lightning striking in Hu Liena's ear as soon as he heard the grandfather's words mentioning the prophecy. "Please tell me more." Wailing to the grandfather, he never thought that his arrival to this place was not a coincidence.

The grandfather also tells the story of his dream to meet a man named Ma Boqin who claimed to be a genius Physician from the future. The man said that one day, his daughter will come to live her second life in this age. He also left a jewelry box to the grandfather and gave it to his daughter if she had come to this place.

"That's all I can tell you." Grandpa ended his story.

"No-no way, how could my father cross two worlds and enter into your dreams." Said Hu Liena who felt strange about the grandfather's story.

"That's all I know, I'm not forcing you to believe it." Said the grandfather.

"The problem is my father's gift box, is Grandpa still keeping it?" Hu Liena asked curiously at the box mentioned earlier.

"Sure, I keep it there." The grandfather replied while pointing towards an old cupboard that was behind Hu Liena.

Hu Liena's eyes now stared fixedly at the old cupboard that was in front of her.

"Can I see it?" He asked while looking at his grandfather.

After getting the approval, Hu Liena reached out to open the closet door.

Ceklek...

Hu Liena opened the closet door slowly, her hands trembling in fear. He never imagined that his father would do this far for his life.
