Chapter 1: The Confusion of the North Drifter

Next Chapter

Lin Daokuan's eyes opened one after another, his hands on his forehead, and he was just about to sit up, when he found himself in an unfamiliar space, absolutely unfamiliar.

Heavy furniture, thin quilts, the whole room exudes an antique atmosphere. There was a woman in ancient costume sitting next to the bed, a white skirt, the skirt was printed with dark pink flowers, the narrow sleeves were shorter, revealing half of the forearms, lightly placed on the knees, beige trousers, soft, and short, the ankles were covered by white stockings, the feet were wearing pink embroidered shoes, the hair was parted in half, pulled behind the ears, there was a large pink flower on the left and right sides of the head, a small melon seed face, the head was tilted on the right shoulder, and it seemed that she had fallen asleep.

Where is this? Did you cross by yourself? Or do you read too many novels and daydream?

Lin Daokuan moved his legs lightly and did not notice any physical discomfort. Just as she was about to get out of bed, due to the twisting of her body, the bed swayed slightly, and the woman sitting on the edge of the bed was startled and slowly opened her eyes. Seeing that Lin Daokuan was about to get out of bed, his eyes immediately widened.

"King Shin is awake! King Shin is awake!"

A low cry immediately broke the silence, and there was a chaotic footstep inside and outside the house, and groups of women and men poured in from all corners of the house.

An old man in a sixtieth armor separated everyone, stepped forward, gently picked up Lin Daokuan's left hand, squinted his eyes, his expression was solemn, and he began to take the pulse, and soon his face showed a relaxed joy.

"No problem. His Royal Highness King Xin, your body is still a little weak, as long as you stay in bed to recuperate, according to the list prescribed by the old man, you will be able to recuperate, and you can get out of bed within three days. The old man then arched his hand and took his leave.

Everyone was overjoyed.

The woman who was sitting on the edge of the bed just now immediately shouted: "Xiao Ning, take the medicine according to the imperial doctor's order, fry it and serve it." ”

"King Xin? Tai Doctor? Lin Daokuan thought silently in his heart, looking at the clothes in front of him, he was stunned. He wanted to sit up and look at the rest of the room.

"Your Royal Highness, lie down." The woman screamed again, and turned to tenderness and concern.

Lin Daokuan lay down as he said, he didn't know what was going on, what environment he was in, and the most important thing at the moment was to figure out his situation.

"I'm ......"

"His Royal Highness King Xin needs to rest, you guys go out first!" The woman's tone was calm, but she could not be refused.

Although everyone was a little dissatisfied, they could only come out under the supervision of the woman.

"You ......"

"I'm the palace maid by King Xin's side, Wan'er, Your Highness forgot?" The woman looked at Lin Daokuan with a smile, but her brows were slightly frowned, looking both concerned and anxious, for fear that Lin Daokuan would not know her.

"Wan'er?" Lin Daokuan was puzzled, hazy and familiar, and he couldn't remember who it was.

"Your Highness hunted the day before yesterday, and his mount was hit by Grandpa Tu's horse, and he fell off the horse, and he has slept for two days and two nights." The woman seemed to be coaxing Lin Daokuan, but her face was very worried.

"Grandpa Tu?" Lin Daokuan was even more puzzled.

"It's Tu Wenfu from the East Factory."

Lin Daokuan seemed to think of something, but he was vague and couldn't figure it out. It is his habit to close his eyes and think, and he has to think quietly. Dongchang, it must be the Ming Dynasty. Although I studied science and engineering, my historical grades are not bad, and I am still very familiar with the history of national struggles, but there are too many kings in Chinese history, who remembers King Qingxin? Not to mention remembering who the palace maid Wan'er is.

"I'm thirsty, Wan'er, pour me a glass of water." Tong guò drink water to delay time and see if he can remember something.

"Yes, Your Highness." Wan'er is very capable, and she never drags her feet in doing things, she answered, and immediately brought Lin Daokuan a glass of warm water.

After drinking the water, Lin Daokuan still didn't remember who King Xin was, so he had to cover his head and pretend to be asleep, he wanted to make his thinking coherent.

"Your Highness, you haven't eaten for two days, do you want to have some snacks first?" Wan'er's concern is everywhere.

"I'm not hungry yet, I want to rest for a while, don't let anyone disturb me." didn't clear his mind, how could Lin Daokuan have the heart to eat? He didn't feel hungry at all.

"Yes, Your Highness." Wan'er closed the door and sat down on a chair not far from the bed.

Lin Daokuan thought back to all the details of himself, and thought until Wuling Mountain fell.

…………

Lin Daokuan kicked the stairs hard, not feeling the pain in his feet. Another disappointment. He wanted to gouge out the recruiting supervisor's eyeballs just now. But after all, I still endured it, that is the right of others.

Lin Daokuan's heart was still unconvinced. He is a high-achieving student who graduated from Tsinghua University, and has worked experience in research and development, front-line production, low-level supervisors, and independent sales. In fact, if the hiring supervisor is a member of the opposite sex or a steady old man, he definitely has a chance. Thinking of this, Lin Daokuan suddenly brightened up, and his mood was much better, he was not uncompetitive, but lost to that pair of slender legs.

Lin Daokuan still has a soft spot for beautiful legs, his former girlfriend, which one doesn't have a pair of slender legs? However, at this moment, those beautiful legs won unfair competition in an improper way, which was dirty in Lin Zhikuan's eyes.

He has no time to think about whether this will affect his aesthetic orientation, he has to find the next job, otherwise the price of rental housing in Beijing will make him unbearable, and now he only has a pitiful two yuan six left in his pocket, and he doesn't know how to solve it for lunch. After graduating, I spent eight years in Beijing, working hard for every job and trying to save for every salary. However, apart from rent, he had no savings at all.

If you want to survive in Beijing, you must work harder, work harder, not only to compare your ability with others, but also to compare your beautiful legs with others. "It's been eight years, it's been eight years, how long will it take for me to win the status of drinking coffee on an equal footing with Beijingers? Do you really have to wait twenty-six years? ”

Lin Daokuan has no time to worry and indignant, it is his life to continue, persistence is his creed, forbearance is his inertia, and tenacity is his life.

He walked aimlessly down the streets, completely oblivious to the traffic jams, just as Beijing ignored him. Beijing is still colorful and vibrant, with stalls and shopping malls selling off, driving faster than pedestrians, construction sites everywhere, and artificial beauties piling up on the streets......

In front of a construction site, Lin Daokuan found a drinking water pipe, and he immediately got on his stomach and drank enough, completely forgetting about his infuriating legs.

I just want to go back to the rental house to take a break, accumulate energy and confidence, and then embrace this city with anticipation that has accepted him many times and abandoned him many times ruthlessly. The phone rang, it was my buddy from college, Wei Shiyun.

"Xiao Linzi, isn't this time chic?"

"Abandoned by Beijing again."

"Don't rush, take your time. Where Jin Cheng goes, Jin Shi is open. When I was in college, wasn't this the trick I used when chasing school flowers? Opportunity is like a boat full of hope, as long as you work hard, it will gently paddle behind you when you are not aware of it. Wei Shiyun found that Lin Zhikuan's love was not good, "You won't just give up, right?" What the hell do you think? ”

"What else can you think? The road is long, I will go up and down and seek. It's like you, the name is good, and the luck is good. Lin Daokuan was lazy, if it weren't for his classmates and buddies, he wouldn't have bothered to answer the phone.

"Haha, maybe you'll come first. I was just a working boy and didn't fit into this unconquerable city at all. It's not the same as you, living in a rental house. "Wei Shiyun is actually very dissatisfied, it is not easy to be a second generation.

"You are also a Beijinger, you can commute to work normally every day, and you have a sister-in-law to cook at night when you go home. Be content! You. Lin Daokuan thought, it's good to be able to mix like this, it's a hundred times better than being precarious.

"Xiao Linzi, why don't we go out for a walk and relax, I just have a few days off. Let's call the monkey and Da Luo, and go to Yanshan for a walk? "Wei Shiyun has nothing to do about the plight of his old classmates, the competition in Beijing is too fierce, and his own self-protection is not enough, how can he help anything? It can only give some comfort to the soul.

Monkey and Da Luo are their common classmates, and they stay in Beijing to work hard. The monkey man looks like a monkey, and is as clever as a monkey, and is already a department manager of a large company; Da Luo is like their brother, simple and steady, working as a sales manager in a medium-sized company.

"Alright! Maybe the rain and dew in Yanshan can wash away my bad luck, anyway, I don't have anything to do now, I sent out a few resumes, and there was no follow-up. ”

"Okay, I'll see you at the bus station at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Lin Daokuan has not yet been completely liberated from depression, and on the way to Yanshan, he stared out the window blankly, looking quite different compared to the cheerful crowd full of cars.

The sunrise was not seen, the waterfall could not be whetted, and it was only in front of a birch forest that Lin Daokuan seemed to have an understanding.

The birch forest is chaotic, but there is a path in the forest, and the path is winding. It seems that the developers deliberately made it crooked in order to arouse the reverie of visitors. There is no light in the forest, and it looks cold, which is exactly what Lin Daokuan wants. The four of them walked and stopped on the path, and before they knew it was noon. They opened the felt cloth, took out the prepared beer and Peking duck, etc., and sat down on the felt cloth for a picnic.
