Chapter 1: Through Time and Space

Next Chapter

Su Lin slowly opened his eyes, only to feel a splitting headache, and there was a hint of joy or sadness on his face.

In the next second, he seemed to realize something, and hurriedly checked his body, and even looked at his crotch, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, his arms were still in his legs, and nothing was missing on his body.

"The catastrophe is not dead, Lao Tzu is really blessed and fateful, once this catastrophe passes, he may have good luck in the future!"

He is an ordinary college student, accidentally fell off the cliff when traveling in Lushan, before losing consciousness, he thought he was going to die, and when he woke up, he didn't expect to be able to survive in danger.

It's really heaven that I don't die, the cliff must be at least fifty or sixty meters high, and there is a strange stone and thorn below, no wonder he has the idea that "if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing".

"Huh?" Su Lin touched his aching head and sat up, his head was still wet, and when he touched his hair, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Why is my hair so long?" ”

"Could it be that I've been in a coma for a long time?"

Thinking of this, Su Lin couldn't help but look around, only to find that he was in a wooden house, surrounded by some old and quaint cabinets and furniture, and even the floor was made of rough wooden planks.

"I didn't expect anyone to live in this kind of house." Su Lin touched the back of his head in pain and muttered to himself.

Fell off the cliff of Lushan that day, if he was really rescued, it is not impossible to live in this kind of house in the deep mountains and old forests, but these furniture seem to be too simple and old?

It was pouring light rain outside, and occasionally there were one or two roosters and dogs barking, only to feel a little hungry, Su Lin slowly got out of bed, walked to the door, and opened the door.

This is a small courtyard, but when you look over the courtyard wall, it is different from the imaginary deep mountains and old forests, as if this is in the city?

"Thank goodness, the official is awake."

Before Su Lin could react, an old voice sounded, and I saw an old woman in ancient costume walking slowly from the stove room with a cane.

Uh, official? Looking at this old woman who looked over the age and dressed strangely in disbelief, Su Lin blurted out: "Auntie, you saved my life?" ”

"Auntie?" The old man was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, frowned and asked, "The official fell into the water last night, fortunately my old woman saw it, so I asked people to help save you, otherwise I would have to let those water ghosts pull you away!" ”

At this time, Su Lin realized that he was wearing a soapy white coat, which was the same as the old woman's dress. As for the old woman talking about falling into the water? There is no river under the cliff, looking at the dress of this old woman, and the name she gives herself, could it be that this is a village of some ethnic minority?

After thinking about it, I still think it's impossible, no matter how much the ethnic minorities who retain their traditional culture, it is impossible to even have electric lights at home, Su Lin also felt that Fang Cai's words were a little inappropriate at this time, so he changed his tone and asked tentatively: "Old woman, I fell into the water yesterday, and now I am dizzy, I can't remember some things, I don't know what month it is?" ”

If it is really a minority village, then the date is always wrong, but looking at this situation, it seems a bit like he has become a traveler, but no matter how he says, this kind of thing is so outrageous, Su Lin does not dare to be directly sure.

"What, what, what, what, Could it be that the officials have forgotten what year it is? The old woman pestle her crutches and coughed a few times, "It's windy outside, and the official had a fever last night, and now healed, please go to the back room to talk." ”

When he arrived in the back room, from the mouth of the old woman, Su Lin learned that he was in a dynasty called the Great Song Dynasty, and his surname was Zhao, so he was sure that he had really crossed over, although Su Lin's history was not particularly good, but Zhao Song was not the Great Song Dynasty established by Zhao Kuangyin!

As for whether she is in the Southern Song Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty now, the old woman is just an ordinary person, how can she know who the current emperor is, however, in the process of communicating with her, Su Lin heard the words Liao people, Jin people, and Yuan people more than once or twice, and Liao, Jin, and Yuan did exist in history, but even Su Lin, a historical rookie, knew that these countries had not been in the same time and space at the same time...

After repeatedly confirming that there was no problem with Su Lin, the old woman left, and Su Lin's performance before was really a bit different, which made her wonder if this scholar was crazy...

"I'm Cao, it's not going to travel to another parallel space, right?" Su Lin looked at the unfamiliar cheek in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help sighing, "Forget it, let's take a step and see one step at a time!" ”

Suddenly coming to a strange world, Su Lin was inevitably a little confused, and stayed in his room all day to sort out his thoughts.

The old woman's name is Fan, a few years ago, there was a big flood in her hometown, and she only took her granddaughter to Yangzhou City to rely on each other, but fortunately, her granddaughter has a skill, has a good voice, and sells art in the tile shop, and can earn eighty or ninety dollars a day.

This is a good income in ordinary people's homes.

However, it is always not good for a woman to show her face, and the Fan family has long wanted to marry her granddaughter to a good family and spend her life in peace, but her granddaughter has a pure heart, and she can't rest assured that the old man will not be relieved, and the matter will drag on for a year, and it will be over.

Surin was lying on the bed, even he didn't know what he was thinking, it took a little time to digest something so bizarre that happened.

"It's only noon when the night comes, and the heavy curtain is silent. Deep musk smoke is long, and light makeup is left when lying down. I still regret it back then, and the past is so memorable..."(1) There are thousands of thoughts, just when Su Lin was drowsy, the melodious and tactful singing woke him up, and then looked outside, the rain had stopped, the bright moon was in the sky, and I didn't think it was night.

In the blink of an eye, the afternoon passed, and Su Lin had just recovered from the crossing incident, and now he could only think of a way to survive in this strange era.

The sound of singing in the small courtyard stopped all of Surin's cranky thoughts and pulled him into reality.

The singing voice is clear and melodious, with a little bit of daughter's sorrow, and I don't know whether it is sung for my unknown future or the past, but it all reveals the deepest emotions of my daughter's family.

"It seems that it is Granny Fan's granddaughter who has returned." Su Lin brought a basin of cold water from the well in the courtyard, washed his face, only to feel that the night wind blew across his face, the black clouds covered half of the moonlight, and the sparse stars twinkled, stretching Su Lin's shadow long.

"The stars are scarce, the bells and drums are resting, and the warbler is waning outside the curtain. The blue dew is heavy, the willow wind is slanting, and the courtyard is full of falling flowers. On the empty pavilion, leaning on the railing, it seems that last year was melancholy..."(2)

Su Lin poured out the water, moved by the artistic conception of the lyrics and the beautiful singing, and was fascinated for a while, perhaps, the women of this era can only express their hearts through poetry and songs.

Looking through the small courtyard, there is a small two-story pavilion opposite the room where he is, the candlelight is swaying, and a beautiful figure looms in it, adding a bit of mystery under the description of the stars and the light moon...

Listening to the singing from the pavilion, Su Lin couldn't help but think of the world he was in before, and the concerts of those stars were always so noisy, losing the original artistic conception of the lyrics.

"The girl's singing skills are so beautiful, the content of this small order is matched with the girl's voice, and it is like a dream to listen to it." After listening to it for a while, Su Lin couldn't help but praise it, so he learned the way the ancients spoke.

As soon as the words fell, the singing stopped abruptly, and the daughter in the attic seemed to be angry, and it took a while for an indignant voice to come out: "The official is the one who fell into the water last night? Su Er heard her grandmother say that the official was a scholar, and she didn't want to be so rude. ”

Hearing this, Su Lin's face changed slightly, yes, he is just a strange man, what does he say about taking the initiative to talk to others, in this situation of a lonely man and a widow, peeping into other people's boudoirs, wouldn't it ruin people's reputation, and he would have to fall into the reputation of a disciple.

Besides, openly interrupting someone to sing is inherently rude...

Su Lin couldn't help but bow deeply to the attic, and said sincerely: "Reckless in Xia, don't blame the girl, just blame the girl's singing voice is so beautiful, so that Zai Xia has no intention of offending." ”

After saying this, Su Lin regretted it a little, he wanted to learn the way the ancients apologized, but he said it as if it was the fault of other girls...

Sure enough, the daughter in the pavilion poked her head out of the window, probably amused by Su Lin's words: "That's still Su'er's right, do you want the little girl to apologize to the official?" ”

Su Lin was drenched in cold sweat, what a woman with sharp teeth, sure enough, both ancient and modern women can also speak well...

However, Su'er is a pretty nice name...

"The girl's voice is like a heavenly sound, and she is so reckless when she is fascinated by it, and please don't be angry..." ”

After that, I saw that there was silence in the attic, and only frogs and insects were left in the whole courtyard, and there were occasionally a few chickens and dogs barking in the distance.

However, he couldn't explain this, so he could only wait patiently for the response above.

"Surin? The Xiucai on the other side of the river who hasn't been in the exam for three years? The girl in the attic gently wiped the cinnabar on her eyebrows, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, "However, what is this hot pot and skewers he said, it seems to be something to eat..."

Thinking of this, Su Er was suddenly full of interest, and couldn't help but smile at Su Lin under the attic: "If the Su official is willing to apologize, the little girl will go down, but it will be late at night, so she won't accompany the official to chatter..."

At this time, it happened that the wind blew and the clouds dispersed, the crescent moon became round in vain, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the beautiful woman's face, and Su Lin couldn't help but be stunned.

In modern times, whether it is a man-made or natural beauty, Su Lin has seen a lot in real life and on the screen, but it is the first time I have seen a beauty with such a temperament.

Before he could appreciate it for a while, by the time Su Lin reacted, the window had been closed tightly, and when he looked through the window paper again, it was already pitch black.

Exhaling softly, Surin sat under a tree in the courtyard, staring at the moon.

After a day's time, some memories belonging to the owner of this body appeared in his mind, it turned out that this person was also called Su Lin, it seemed that he was a nerd, and belonged to the Han Shi who lived alone, every time he thought of this, Su Lin was a little annoyed.

No matter where you are, money is the most important thing, I used to read those time-traveling novels, the protagonist is either a prince or a landlord, and he is poor and white when he puts it on himself, of course, this Su Lin seems to have a few catties of firewood, rice, oil, salt and dozens of catties of books...

With this in mind, staring at the attic window, it was inevitable that Surin would lose sleep on his first night in ancient times...
