If he had a choice, Tang Que would never ask for crossing; If he knew in advance that he would be crossed one day, Tang Que would definitely change his choice of major in college, even if he didn't study steel shipbuilding, economics and political science, at least learn to make glass and paper, even if he was a veterinarian. But sadly, the crossing is unpredictable and cannot be chosen.

Therefore, when Tang Que, who graduated from the Chinese Department, found that he had been transported to the Tang Dynasty, he finally deeply understood the words of the teacher in the university classroom that year - the graduates of the Chinese Department are the golden oil, the so-called golden oil means that you are not much, without you is not much, in a word, useless.

If it weren't for Tang Que having been lying in this room for two whole days, then, growing up in the city since he was a child, and his parents had successful careers, he would never have imagined that there would be anyone who could be so poor!

What a house this is! Cracks burst out on the rammed earth wall on all sides, because the house had been built for too long, these cracks were shocking in terms of number and scale, at least Tang Que had no doubt that his hand could smoothly pass through the widest crack on the right side of the wall.

And what covers the four walls of light earth is not even tiles, but the thatch of the legend. Because the thatch has not been renovated for a long time, there is a strong pungent smell of grass in the house below.

There is a window dug out of the earth wall opposite Tang Que's bed, and the window with three sticks inserted in it is very small, which makes the light that can enter the house very small, and it is precisely because of this that the house where Tang Que lives now is not only musty, but also dark and dreary all day long, basically unable to feel the change of daylight and the passage of time.

"If you compare all the traversers together, I am definitely one of the worst, if not the worst", Tang Que has been back from the crossover for two days, two days is not a long time, but it has been able to make him accept the reality in front of him, and try to look at this fact with a peaceful mind. Even after the initial shock, when Tang Que looked at the thatch above his head through the blurred light of the small window, he recited Du Fu's "Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind" to laugh at himself.

"The high wind roars in August and autumn, rolling up the triple thatch on my house", the only thing that can be talked about is that the current season is in early spring, otherwise Tang Quezhen doesn't know how to survive the winter with the quilt that is not much thicker than paper on his body without air conditioning and electric heaters?

In such an environment, he can still use "The Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind" to laugh at himself, which at least shows that Tang Que's character is tenacious enough, and he can be regarded as optimistic. Optimism is nothing, for a child like him who was born in the 80s and grew up in a Kochi family, optimism is a commonality. They grew up with the reform and opening up, and their family conditions are good, and they have not suffered much since they were children, and they firmly believe that they will not suffer anything in the future.

It's true that there's nothing to be optimistic about, but tenacity is rare, because it's hard to create such a personality in a smooth environment. Speaking of which, I can't fail to mention Tang Que's parents.

Tang Que's parents are Kochi, real senior intellectuals, the two are professors in the same "985" university, and there are many titles and treatments attached to them, such as enjoying special allowances for ******, doctoral supervisors, Changjiang scholars, leaders in tackling key disciplines, young and middle-aged experts with outstanding contributions, etc., if you add their titles in various professional associations and councils, the above list will become longer, so long that no one is interested in looking at it.

However, in this dazzling long list, the only thing that should be there and what is not is the most important: qualified parents.

The reason why the word qualified is used instead of excellent is because this famous couple in the academic world is far from being qualified when it comes to treating their only son, let alone excellent. If they are a little numb, they may belong to the school, to the students, and to their respective majors, but they definitely do not belong to Tang Que.

Tang Que grew up with his aunt since he was a child, and this woman who lost her husband in her early years was actually the nanny of Tang Que's family. Maybe it's because of genetics, Tang Que has had good grades since he was a child, but in the face of such good results, he has hardly heard his parents praise him, and his tablemate, a child who is inferior to him in all aspects, was praised by his parents for two months just because he scored ninety-five points in a math test.

When he grew up, Tang Que naturally knew that what he really wanted back then was not praise, but hoped that his parents could come out of their tightly closed study and spend more time paying attention to him instead of holding seminars.

There is no praise for good performance, but what about poor performance? When Tang Que was in his first year of high school, it was not that he was taken to be bad, but he took the initiative to get together with those classmates who liked to mix on the street, skipping classes, fighting, and finally developing together to steal things from other people's stores. However, when Tang Que was handcuffed to a tree in the courtyard of the police station with his hands behind his back, expecting that his parents would come to lead him like the parents of his classmates, he waited until his aunt's worried face was still there.

"Why didn't they come?" When he walked out of the police station, Tang Que did not have any regret on his face, but a suppressed anger and disappointment, he was looking forward to today for a long time, he had thought about his expression in his heart many times when facing his parents, it would be an unruly grievance to cover up, he would carefully explain what he had done in front of his parents, how he did it, and what he thought of when he did it. If they want to scold themselves, he is not afraid to speak out in the police station about the indifference he has been treated for so many years, for Tang Que, this is a feat that he has been planning for a long time, but unfortunately this feat has no end - his parents did not come at all, none of them.

"Your father has a very important academic conference in Beijing", the aunt faintly knew Tang Que's thoughts, and she also had an inexplicable apology for failing to persuade her brother-in-law and sister to come here in person, so much so that she didn't dare to look at her nephew's eyes when she spoke, "As for your mother...... She is preparing a project report, and she heard that if it is approved, the scientific research cost can be tens of millions...... So ......".

"I know, auntie, let's go back!" It seems difficult to imagine, but the tone of seventeen-year-old Tang Que when he said this sentence was indeed more calm than sad.

It wasn't until three days later, when his father finished the academic conference and did a good job of analyzing the academic frontier dynamics of the major, that his mother got the news of the success of the project, that the couple remembered that they still had a son of a "problem teenager" who needed to be cared about.

This rare family meeting lasted for two hours, and Tang Que just listened quietly, and only after they all finished speaking, did he spit out the only sentence: "It's all done?" After that, I went back to my room, and there will be self-study tomorrow morning."

According to the usual expression of academic conferences, this is a fruitful family meeting, just like Tang Que's "mixed bad" process is very sudden, and he seems to have changed all the bad problems overnight. He has become the honor student who doesn't let his parents worry about it and his teachers don't worry about it.

Time is so plain as water in the past, in the life of Tang Que's parents "the guest house is like a home", Tang Que took the college entrance examination, checked his own scores, and filled in his own volunteers, until the admission notice came down, his parents did not know that their son's major was Chinese, and the admission letter was sent to a school far away from home.

His parents haven't come to see him for four years, and Tang Que has rarely gone back by himself, and almost all the calls from the family once a week are his aunt's voice.

Tang Que always felt that in addition to being safe in life, he didn't seem to be much different from orphans without parents, and he had to bear all the problems in his own growth, and it was this experience that created Tang Que's tenacious character.

If it is the previous growth experience that made Tang Que's character tenacious, then the appearance and departure of the goldfish made Tang Que a real nihilist.

Goldfish is a girl with a look of eighty points, but a personality of one hundred points, she is Tang Que's first love, and in the three years of love, she has given Tang Que a lot of love. It was she who melted the ice in Tang Que's heart with her love and smile.

The explosion after a piece of ice melted was absolutely amazing, and the goldfish's efforts were rewarded by Tang Que wholeheartedly, to be honest, those three years were really beautiful, and the beauty was like the brilliant peach blossoms in the school's peach orchard.

It was also for the sake of goldfish that Tang Que did not return to the prosperous provincial capital of his hometown after graduation, but stayed in a northern prefecture-level city where the goldfish's family was located, and the two worked in the branch of a foreign-funded company.

Life after work is also good, the income is good in this prefecture-level city, the two also live together, goldfish's parents are also very satisfied with Tang Que's hairy son-in-law, after work, after the two go crazy in bed, their favorite thing is to nudge together and fantasize about life after marriage.

Just when the two of them were fantasizing about what major their children should study when they went to college in the future, their lives suddenly turned a hundred and eighty degrees, and there was only one week between finding that the goldfish was not acting like something was right and her sudden departure.

A week ago, the two were still hugging each other and grinding their ears and temples, and a week later, the goldfish was already far away from each other, and the person who accompanied her was changed from Tang Que to a French big nose with a slight fox smell.

Tang Que never understood why the goldfish left suddenly, with his understanding of the goldfish, she was not the kind of woman who loved money and could give up everything for money. But if not for money, then for what? In the apologetic goldfish parents, Tang Que did not find an answer, and the eyes of the two old men were also confused and incomprehensible.

The goldfish quietly left without taking a cloud with him, making Tang Que a standard nihilist, and the so-called nihilism simply couldn't find meaning. The worldview and outlook on life cultivated in the past suddenly collapsed, and Tang Que, who was in his twenties, could no longer find the meaning of life, career, and even life itself.

What is the purpose of human life?

When Tang Que asked himself this question over and over again, he became a complete nihilist.

Then, Tang Que began to frequently go in and out of bars and different entertainment venues, discussing and practicing true and false, plausible so-called love with different women. Then I went to chuang with different women, and in the process, I verified the conclusion that life itself is meaningless, and then ...... And then he crossed, his soul to be exact.

His body remained in the twenty-first-century bed stained with male and female bodily fluids, while his soul traveled through more than 1,300 years of time and space, taking possession of a new body in the form of a soul snatching up and being reborn.

"That's right, life is a meaningless absurd farce", after summarizing the strange crossing that happened to him, Tang Que soon fell into a deep sleep again.
