Chapter 7: Ancient Books 2
It is clear that this old man is not just setting up a stall on the street to make money. Because according to Mei Xiaohan's understanding, setting up such a stall on the street requires a lot of rent every month.
The wind suddenly rose on the street, and the old man looked at the sky: "It seems that the stall will be closed a little earlier today, and it will rain soon!" ”
So the old man made a move to close the stall, and immediately forgot what he had just said. But Mei Xiaohan became anxious, he looked at the old man and said, "Can I invite you to dinner?" ”
"Is it because of the book?"
Mei Xiaohan also said bluntly: "Yes, it's that book, I want to know where it came from!" ”
The old man nodded happily and said, "Don't say it, I'm really a little hungry." ”
Eating is one of the most important things in life, people live to eat, although some people are very proud to disagree, but have to admit that people must eat, and eat well. While your teeth are not yet gone, eat more delicious things, and life will be happy. The old man is also a cheerful person, and he didn't embarrass Mei Xiaohan at all, and he took the initiative to lead the way and asked for noodles by name. Mei Xiaohan is naturally accompanied to the end.
After slowly entering the noodle shop, the old man ate two large bowls of noodles, wiped his mouth, and drank a small glass of boiled water.
"Do you really want to hear the story about this book?"
Mei Xiaohan said: "Grandpa, don't sell it, tell me quickly!" ”
The old man said: "It's you, maybe if I tell this story to others, no one will believe it, because this story is too magical!" ”
In the world we live in, there are different spaces in the world, and there is no connection between each existing space and space, and naturally there will be no influence. What the old man said made Mei Xiaohan faintly feel that the person in front of him was not simple, and it seemed to have many similarities with what he had experienced.
Thirty years ago, a mysterious light suddenly appeared, and there are no words to describe how miraculous that light was, and it took away so many things that should and should not be taken away, including people, that it felt like a dream, because it was so unreal.
After hearing this, Mei Xiaohan's first reaction was that what the old man said was related to the crossing, but at this moment Mei Xiaohan was not sure, because Mei Xiaohan returned to the current era this time, and he came with a purpose, and he didn't want the second person to know his plan.
The old man said: "Maybe you will think that everything I said is too magical and unreliable at all, but that magical thing still happened!" ”
"I've gone to a time I've never been to before! At that time, I was still young, full of energy and enthusiasm, and I had a good job, but all this came to an abrupt end after that magical light appeared, and all my dreams were shattered! ”
After the old man said this, Mei Xiaohan's face suddenly became a little hot, because what the old man said was very similar to what had happened to him. And Mei Xiaohan has forgotten the exact time when that incident happened, and whether the thing he and the old man encountered is the same thing, Mei Xiaohan dare not decide, because 30 years is something Mei Xiaohan dare not imagine.
Mei Xiaohan couldn't help but touch his face, and he didn't feel any traces of vicissitudes, he looked young, only about 20 years old. And Mei Xiaohan has experienced a lot, but it has exceeded what he should have at his age.
Mei Xiaohan paused suddenly, didn't know how to respond for a while, and said slowly: "I won't tell you, the things you said are indeed a bit unbelievable, old man. ”
The old man's eyes suddenly became a little hazy and said, "I don't think I'm old, but when others scream like this, I myself have begun to admit it gradually." ”
After a person's life has gone through more than half of his life, he gradually learns to let go, no longer dwell on the past, and begins to try to learn to conform to the destiny of heaven. The boiled water in the old man's cup was replaced with white wine, and he raised the glass and shook it in the light and said: "I haven't drunk wine for many years, and I have always kept a clear head over the years, but I have found that some things are more and more incomprehensible, and sometimes a sober eye may not be able to see this turbid world clearly." ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "Old man, you don't have to be so emotional, it seems that my arrival today has brought you a lot of unhappiness!" ”
"Young man, you don't have to talk around the bush, the book is the most interesting thing for you, right?"
Mei Xiaohan said: "Yes, I am indeed very interested in your book, but I don't know if there is a chance to get it!" ”
The old man said: "30 years ago, I went to the Great Song Dynasty, and I worked hard for 30 years in an unfamiliar environment, and that experience made me unforgettable, and what this book records is what happened in those 30 years!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "I see, since this book is written by your life's work, why do you want to sell this book?" ”
The old man said: "For me, all the experiences and past events have become the past, and this book is just cold words, and for the people who come and go in a hurry, they may not look back and look at it." ”
"30 years passed in a hurry like a dream. And when I achieved fame, it suddenly dragged me back to reality, which gave me another heavy blow. ”
One day 30 years ago, the evening was no different than usual. After dinner, people go outside for a walk, and after a tiring day, it is rare to have such leisure. Whether it is for family or with a couple, a young man is very sad because of his frustration in business.
In the bright moonlight, he staggered into the grass with a wine bottle in his hand, and he buried himself deep in the grass, wanting to be isolated from the world in this way. He gulped down the wine, trying to numb his nerves. However, at this moment, a strange light suddenly appeared.
The young man was swept up in this strange light, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a world that was different from what he had seen before. After many verifications, he realized that he had crossed over, and in an inexplicable way.
And the era he traveled through was one of the most chaotic periods in the entire history of China, "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms." ”
He then went through a series of escapes, and in order to adapt and survive the environment at that time, he had to start learning and gradually integrate into the environment at that time.
He started as an ordinary little person, and gradually became a small warlord, he did not have a majestic Top Gun, nor did he have lofty ideals, he just wanted to survive in the troubled times. In the chaotic period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, everything is illusory, and only the military power in the hands is the most real. In that environment, everyone has to learn to change.
For 30 years, a young man experienced vicissitudes and endless melee, and finally survived with difficulty.
