Chapter 1 First arrival in Chang'an
On the banks of the Weishui River in July, a caravan from Shu County was driving a carriage to Chang'an.
"Brothers, come on, we'll be in Chang'an soon"
"Great, after this dart is over, I must go to Xinyifang to have a good show, brothers, who of you will go"
"Brother Liu, take me, I'll go"
"I want to go"
This shout instantly made the entire team laugh, and they were all full of energy.
But there was a teenager who seemed so out of place with the whole team.
Instead of joining the conversation, he looked around and at the Weihe Bridge not far ahead.
"He's meow, Lao Tzu has finally arrived in Chang'an, Chang'an in the prosperous era, the beautiful Tang Dynasty, Lao Tzu is here" Wang Xuan looked at the huge city seen by the naked eye in the distance, he shouted in his heart, and fell into memory.
Speaking of Wang Xuan, he is also an unlucky egg, he was originally a middle-aged single dog who stayed at home due to the sudden epidemic two thousand years later.
But because he had to deliver supplies to his elderly parents and all kinds of vegetable seeds that his parents wanted, he had to go to the market to buy a large amount of supplies and drive back to his hometown overnight.
Fortunately, the place where he was located was not far from where his parents were, more than 100 kilometers, and their epidemic was not so serious, and there were no confirmed medical records, so he could travel.
But this overnight trip, he crossed inexplicably, and it was still the kind of rare physical crossing.
As soon as he crossed that meeting, Wang Xuan woke up and looked at the seeds of various vegetables, fruits and crops scattered around him, and he was completely stunned.
That day he frantically searched the valley where he woke up for everything modern, but in the end all he found was those seeds.
As for his car, and the plastic packaging of those seeds, everything that would prove that he came from modern times is gone.
At that time, he didn't realize that he had crossed, but he thought that he had been in a car accident and fell into that mountain, and even when his body became smaller, he thought that he was injured.
It wasn't until he stumbled out of the valley and looked out at the quaint buildings and the people in sackcloth and hair toiling in the fields that he realized his situation.
He first frantically ran to an old farmer to ask about the current year, and when he learned that he was in the seventh year of Wude.
Wang Xuan couldn't hold back, his body trembled and sat on the ground, and the whole person looked at the sky blankly.
At that time, Wang Xuan felt that his whole life was gray, and sadness, anger, unwillingness and helplessness filled his entire soul.
He sat in the old farmer's field for a whole day, if it weren't for the old farmer's fear of accidents, and finally brought the confused Wang Xuan home, Wang Xuan might have been killed by snakes, insects, tigers and leopards in the mountains and fields.
This is not an exaggeration, after all, the location of the old farmer's world happens to be in the mountains and forests, and it is common for these poisonous insects and beasts to appear.
Wang Xuan, who was rescued, after a few days of recuperation and the care of the old farmer and his wife, slowly accepted the reality of his crossing, and with the help of the old farmer, he had a legal identity in Datang.
But Wang Xuan, who was helpless, lived every day in a muddled way, until the son of the old peasant who was a soldier came back, and Wang Xuan heard him talk about the magnificence and majesty of Luoyang, Chang'an.
Wang Xuan's dusty heart was ignited again, and that day Wang Xuan used the little money he had earned from months of collecting firewood to buy some sacrifices and return to the place where he woke up and stayed there for a whole day, no one knew what he did there and what he went through.
When Wang Xuan came out, his whole person changed, he became diligent, became hard-working, and finally relied on Wang Xuan's cleverness to make mosquito coils, and in a year's time, he built a big house with two entrances in that small mountain village, and saved five copper coins.
But just when the people in the village thought that Wang Xuan would go back to live in a small mountain village like this, Wang Xuan left the big mansion to the old couple and gave them the way to make money, and then Wang Xuan took all his belongings and embarked on a journey north to Chang'an.
Wang Xuan's idea is very simple, he wants to go to Chang'an, to see how magnificent the ancient city that carries the entire Tang Dynasty and has all the nations to come, and he wants to feel the glory of the Tang Dynasty that left magnificent poems in Chinese civilization.
But more importantly, Wang Xuan wants to go there in exchange for capital that can allow him to survive in this prosperous world.
Instead of doing a small business of mosquito coils like before, he will be wantonly exploited and oppressed by various local powerful and inferior gentry, and even threaten his life.
Although he resolved them all in the end, that kind of life was not what he wanted.
After all, as a good young man who once lived under the red flag.
He didn't want to live that kind of life of being oppressed, even if he couldn't escape being oppressed in the end, he just wanted to be squeezed by the people at the top, so Wang Xuan chose to go to Chang'an.
As for what to change, like those time-travelers in novels, crisscrossing the court, punching the powerful, and subduing the prince, Wang Xuan has never thought about it, after all, he has a few catties and a few taels He knows that he wants to be a rich man who is stable and not oppressed.
But the truth can really be as Wang Xuan expected! No one knows.
"Wang Xuan, what do you think! This is about to arrive in Chang'an, and we are about to separate, do you want to play with your brothers today" Just when Wang Xuan was still looking at Chang'an and fell into deep thought, the dart head of the convoy found Wang Xuan, patted him on the shoulder and said to Wang Xuan.
"Brother Chen, I won't go, you know, I came to Chang'an to settle down in Chang'an, but I don't dare to go around to play, after a while, I have to go around looking for work, otherwise I will eat there for the next meal, I don't know yet" Wang Xuan looked at the man in front of him, showing a helpless and flattering look and told him his situation.
"Hey, I don't know what you think, why do you have to settle down in Chang'an, okay, since you have thought about it, then I won't force it, wait until the Weihe River is crossed, let's separate, there are thirty yuan here, you take it, along the way, you have also worked hard, this is your reward" After speaking, Chen Darttou did not give Wang Xuan a chance to refuse, handed the money to Wang Xuan and left quickly.
"Hey" Looking at the money in his hand, Wang Xuan sighed, for these men in front of him, Wang Xuan's heart was warm.
Originally, Wang Xuan asked them to bring him to Chang'an, but because Wang Xuan helped them work along the way, in the end, Chen Darttou not only did not ask for his money, but also gave Wang Xuan his salary, which made Wang Xuan very emotional.
As Chang'an City got closer and closer, the moment of separation still came, and Wang Xuan said goodbye to these men who had been with him for months one by one.
Carrying all his belongings, he slowly left the convoy and walked towards the city gate not far away.
Looking at the towering city wall and the huge word Mingde on the city's head, Wang Xuan shouted in his heart, "Chang'an, I'm here"
