0001 Chapter 1 Tang Shui

Looking at the endless rice fields in front of him, Tang Shui was a little overwhelmed.

Didn't I just take a shortcut to get to my destination quickly when I was delivering food, why did I come here? What about the tall buildings behind me? What about the traffic that should be in front of me? Why is everything gone?

Looking at the two bowls of sweet potato syrup in a plastic bag in his hand, Tang Shui shouted in his heart.

Today, Tang Shui had already made an appointment with a girl to go on a blind date, but when he went out, a call came from the store, and someone ordered two bowls of takeaway of sweet potato syrup.

Because he was going on a blind date tonight, Tang Shui called the clerks home early in the morning, and at that time, Tang Shui took the takeaway order with the intention of making a little more.

Quickly packed the sweet potato syrup, and Tang Shui set off.

Tang Shui has already calculated that as long as he walks short, he can run back and forth in ten minutes, and it will not interfere with his time to go on a blind date.

However, when Tang Shui walked out of the alley, everything in front of him changed, and the traffic that should have appeared in front of him was gone, replaced by an endless rice field. And the high-rise building Daxia that should exist behind him is gone, replaced by a forest, a forest that covers the sun!

Tang Shui looked left and right, and found that except for the ridiculously large rice field in front of him, there was no one nearby at all.

In order to deliver the takeaway quickly, Tang Shui ran out directly after boiling the sugar water, except for two bowls of sweet potato sugar water, only a set of clothes on his body and a pair of Mickey Mouse flip-flops. The flip-flops were selected in the Tang Shui lottery, and the clothes were a pair of checkered shorts for ten yuan on the side of the road and a large white vest for ten yuan on the same side of the road.

Mobile phone or something, Tang Shui didn't take it at all. Now Tang Shui can't even make a phone call, as for finding someone to ask for directions, Khan, there is no one here, how can you ask?

After thinking about it for a while, Tang Shui decided to walk through the rice fields to see if there was anyone.

As for why you chose to walk through the rice paddies instead of through the woods, it is still worth asking?

If there is a rice field, it means that someone is working here, and there must be people living not far from the rice field, although this rice field is a bit ridiculously large, but it is also better than the woods behind.

Looking at the denseness of this forest, Tang Shui was a little skeptical that this forest was a primitive deep forest. If you accidentally get lost inside, or get bitten by some poisonous insect or snake, it will be troublesome.

Tang Shui, who had decided the route of travel, did not hesitate, picked up two bowls of sweet potato syrup, took a deep breath, and began to walk towards the rice field.

The people who cultivated these rice fields were very diligent, and made the foundation of the rice fields very good, there were no weeds on them, and they were very strong, otherwise Tang Shui, who only wore a pair of Mickey Mouse flip-flops and only a pair of checkered shorts, was afraid that he would have to suffer a lot.

I don't know how long I walked, but Tang Shui was still walking in the rice fields, and the sky changed from bright to dark.

I don't know if God has pity on Tang Shui, after Tang Shui walked through a few rice fields again, Tang Shui finally found that there was a light in front of him.

Seeing the lights in front of him, Tang Shui's gloomy face immediately rejuvenated.

Call! Call! Call!

Running wildly all the way, Tang Shui, who almost fell into the rice field several times, finally ran out of the rice field and came to the place where the lights came from.

However, seeing the scene in front of him, Tang Shui slammed and sat on the ground, everything in front of him was beyond Tang Shui's cognition.

This is a village, yes, yes, this is a village, but this village is a bit backward, this village has about a hundred families, half of them are wooden wooden houses, one-fifth of them are thatched huts, and the rest are brick houses made of bricks.

And the lights Tang Shui saw came from some relatively beautiful brick houses.

This is the city built by the high-rise buildings of more than a dozen stories in Daxia? Even in the poor mountainous areas, it is not so exaggerated! Tang Shui shouted in his heart.

"Impossible, impossible, I can't come to this kind of place, this is an illusion, yes, this is an illusion, someone must be playing tricks on me, is it Xiao San or Xiao Wang? I'll deduct your wages tomorrow. Tang Shui stood up like crazy and shouted.

"Open the door, open the door for me!" Tang Shui ran into the village, and when he saw a house, he knocked on the door, whether it was a grass house, a wooden house, or a brick house, Tang Shui knocked on the door one by one.

However, when the people in the house opened the door and saw Tang Shui dressed like this, they all drove Tang Shui away, and even more so the hoe drove Tang Shui away.

"Impossible, impossible, you must be acting, you must be acting, woo, woo, woo" Tang Shui sat down in front of the last wooden house in the village, and said to himself, speaking of the back, Tang Shui even cried.

Tang Shui knew that he might have come to some isolated places, or he had come to a super backward place.

When Tang Shui knocked on the door just now, he saw that the people who opened the door were all coarse and linen, with buns, and straw sandals, and the best thing was to replace the straw sandals with cloth shoes.

Seeing this, Tang Shui knew that it would be difficult for him to return to his home, no, it would be difficult to return to the city where he lived, and when Tang Shui watched the news, he saw that some businessmen were displaced to other places due to business failures, and they could not return home for the rest of their lives.

And Tang Shui is even more miserable, no matter what those businessmen say, they are still in the city, work hard to make money, and still have a chance to go home, but Tang Shui doesn't even know where he is now, let alone go home, it's just like ancient times, there is no electricity, no traffic.

Thinking of what happened to him, Tang Shui cried even worse, Tang Shui has been an orphan since he was a child, funded by the orphanage, finished high school, and after graduation, he used the scholarship he got to open a sugar water shop, after two years of development, Tang Shui also made a small achievement, and was ready to buy his own small house in the urban area.

And tonight, under the introduction of a good friend, Tang Shui was ready to go on a blind date with a woman and end his virginity, but he didn't know that he had delivered a takeaway and sent himself here.

"What's wrong with you, young man, crying so sadly."

At this time, an old man walked out of the wooden house behind Tang Shui, this old man looked about seventy years old, with gray hair, but he was still very energetic.

When Tang Shui knocked on the door and knocked on this wooden house, he didn't have the courage to knock down.

This is the last room in this village, if you don't knock on the door, Tang Shui can still keep the last glimmer of hope, this is someone playing tricks on himself. But now that the owner of the wooden house has come out, Tang Shui's last glimmer of hope is gone.

"Woo, woo, uncle, I can't go home." Tang Shui saw someone asking him, and cried and said it. 0002 Chapter 2 Seeing Work

It has been three days since I came to this era, and from being at a loss at the beginning to now, Tang Shui has begun to work hard to live in this era.

A few days ago, after Tang Shui cried the old man, the old man saw that Tang Shui was pitiful, so he asked Tang Shui to sit in his wooden house.

After entering the house, things were easy to do, and Tang Shui, who had calmed down, asked the old man what kind of place this was.

It's just that the old man's answer almost made Tang Shui collapse again. At that time, Tang Shui's location turned out to be Qingshui Village on the outskirts of Yangzhou, and the time was a sensitive period of the Sui and Tang dynasties, but fortunately, the time when Tang Shui came was the late period of the alternation, and now it is the year after the rule of Zhenguan, and the plague of locusts has passed, otherwise Tang Shui is afraid that he will suffer a lot again.

When he learned that he had traveled back to ancient times, and it was such a sensitive period, Tang Shui's expression was wonderful, but because he had already had a desperate experience, this time Tang Shui quickly regained his mood, and even invited the old man to eat the sweet potato syrup he brought.

The old man who ate the sugar water was suddenly shocked, it turned out that the sweet potato sugar water brought by Tang Shui turned out to be something that the old man had never eaten, and it was very delicious.

Seeing such an excited old man, Tang Shui was also a little dazed, sweet potato syrup, a very ordinary thing, how could he not have eaten it?

However, Tang Shui, who had graduated from high school, soon knew the reason, sweet potatoes had not yet been introduced in the Tang Dynasty, let alone sweet potatoes made into sweet potato syrup. So Tang Shui calmly continued to beckon the old man to continue eating.

The old man is also a person who will repay his kindness, and after eating the sugar water, he asked Tang Shui if he had anything to help, and he would definitely help if he could.

Tang Shui directly asked if he could live here at that time.

Hearing Tang Shui's request, the old man agreed without thinking about it, it turned out that the old man didn't actually live here, the old man was looking for relatives who were still alive after the locust plague, but when he passed by here, he remembered that he still had a wooden house here, so he came to stay for one night, who knew that he just met Tang Shui.

After some conversation, the old man knew that Tang Shui had no place to live, so he directly gave this wooden house to Tang Shui, and even helped Tang Shui think of a reason, saying that Tang Shui was one of his distant nephews, and his family was in the middle, and when he came to take refuge in himself, he encountered robbers, and even his hair was cut off.

This remark directly told Tang Shui's origin and the reason for his short hair, which exempted Tang Shui from some troubles, and in ancient times, men could not have short hair.

The day after Tang Shui came here, the old man also left alone, but fortunately, the old man also left two sets of clothes and some silver for Tang Shui, otherwise Tang Shui would not know how to live.

However, something even more dramatic happened, Tang Shui's third day in Qingshui Village turned out to be the selection of the neighbor head of Qingshui Village.

The lower-level official system in the Tang Dynasty was four families and one neighbor, five neighbors and one guarantee, five guarantees and one mile, and five miles and one township. And one of the neighbors because the position is too low, so they directly change every three years, and each family takes turns.

So Tang Shui was lucky to be a neighborhood chief, although he was the lowest-ranking official, but he also had a subsidy, twelve wen a year, and for the convenience of management, Tang Shui received a three-year subsidy as soon as he became the neighborhood chief.
