Chapter IV
The next day, Siyin seemed to be getting better, and I wanted to wait until he was well, but he said it was okay and sent me to Heiankyo, the capital of the early Heian period ------ Japan.
Kyoto, are you going to go again? The moment I closed my eyes, the warm and clear smile of the head secretary appeared in front of me again, but this time in Kyoto, there was no such distressing teenager.
After the brilliant glow of the crystal, I continued my journey through time and space.
This is Heiankyo? When I woke up, I opened my eyes and looked around in amazement, it was obviously a Chinese-style building, and the pedestrians around me were also wearing Tang costumes, and what surprised me even more was that the people passing by me were speaking the words I was familiar with--- Chinese.
It's strange, could it be that Heiankyo imitated our country so thoroughly? Impossible, Chinese can only be learned by nobles, how can it be so popular?
I felt a thrill in my heart, and hurriedly grabbed a young woman next to me: "May I ask where is this?" ”
The woman looked at me in surprise and said, "This is Fuzhou." ”
Fuzhou? I was shocked, isn't Fuzhou in China?
"And what is the current era name?"
"Eight years of protection."
In the eighth year of Baoda, I quickly recalled that the eighth year of Baoda seemed to be the era name of the Southern Tang Dynasty in history, so it means that I am indeed on my own land, what is going on? Could it be that Siyin's illness affected his spells, which is why there was such a big error?
However, in the eighth year of Baoda, it seems to be 950 A.D., and the time seems to be correct, but the space is much worse.
Forget it, since you're here, there's always a way to get to Japan, right? Although the Tang Dynasty has fallen, cultural and economic exchanges between Japan and coastal areas of China were still frequent during this period, rightly so. You can take a boat to Heiankyo.
Thinking of this, my mood calmed down again, went to the pawnshop to change the silver and a bunch of Kaiyuan Tongbao, first went to buy a simple Tang costume, although the dynasty has changed, but the pedestrians on the road are still wearing Tang costumes, it seems that many things are not so easy to change.
I hurriedly ate something in a restaurant, bought some dry food, and hurried to the dock.
There were a lot of people on the dock, but there were not many boats, only a few boats were parked on the sea, and a large group of people gathered not far ahead, I hesitated, pushed through the crowd, and squeezed to the bow of the boat, only to see a man dressed as a boatman rushing down to a young girl.
"Go down, go down, with such a little silver, I want to take a boat to Heguo." The man said angrily.
"Please, boatman, I must go to Heguo," the girl clung to the eaves of the boat and continued to plead.
When I heard the man's words, I couldn't help but be happy, it really didn't take any effort to come, this ship was about to go to Japan, but how could that girl be so persistent in going to Japan, it seems a little strange for a woman in this era to go to a foreign country alone.
Look at the girl is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a good appearance and an elegant temperament, faint as a magnolia flower, but her face is pale, as if she is suffering from some disease.
For some reason, I inexplicably developed a crush on her.
"Boatman, I also want to take a boat to Heguo." I stepped forward.
Before the boatman could reply, I had already taken out two shining ingots of silver from his bosom, and the boatman immediately smiled and nodded.
"Wait a minute, add her." I pointed at the girl, and when he hesitated, I said, "Even with her, it's more than enough."
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's get on the boat."
The girl looked at me in disbelief, and still hadn't come to her senses.
Are you going or not?" I got into the boat and shouted at her, and she came to her senses and hurried towards me, and I reached out and pulled her onto the boat.
"Thank you, thank you." She said softly.
"No thanks, we can be in company." I smiled.
She lifted her face, smiled lightly, and nodded slightly.
After all, we were the same age, and we got acquainted quickly.
"My name is Hagakure, what about you?" I was in the same room with her, which was fine, and I happened to have someone to talk to.
"My name is Sharo." She whispered.
"Sharo, it's a very special name." I looked at her, and the name didn't seem like an ancient Chinese name.
"Well, I heard from my mother, my father took it, and my father likes the Saro Twin Tree very much."
"The Twin Trees of Salo seem to be a kind of twin plant in Buddhism, I think your father must like your mother very much, so he gave you this name." I laughed and teased her.
Her eyes gradually dimmed, and she suddenly frowned, holding her heart, as if she was haunted by severe pain, and made a low * sound from her mouth,
"Are you alright? Sharo! I was taken aback by her, she quickly waved her hand and said softly: "It's old, no, it's okay." ”
It took a while for her to get better, but her face became paler.
"I said Sharo, why do you want to go to Japan with a body like you, well, to go to Heguo?" I asked, puzzled.
She looked at me, was silent for a while, and said, "I'll go find my dad." ”
"Your father? Is your father in Heguo? I asked, my eyes widened and I asked, surprised.
After listening to her story, I realized that her father was a Japanese nobleman, and he met Sharo's mother when he traveled to China in his early years, and since then he has stayed in China, but he did not expect that a year after Sharo was born, the domestic political situation has become increasingly chaotic, and Sharo's father was recruited back to Japan by a letter from a family member who was critically ill, and he has never been heard from and has never returned.
It turned out to be a foreign love in troubled times.
"But why did you only think of going to your father now?"
She lowered her eyelids and whispered, "My mother has just passed away, and before she died, she asked me to recognize my father no matter what." In addition, I heard that Wu Yue's soldiers and horses will soon hit Fuzhou, so I. ”
"I see, don't worry, you'll definitely find your father." I comforted her.
Looking at Sarah's weak body, I suddenly had the idea of protecting her.
"Xiao Yin, you say, has my father forgotten my mother?" She asked suddenly.
"How can it be, there must be a misunderstanding, don't think about it, rest early." Although I comforted her like this, I also had some doubts in my heart, after all, there are many infatuated women in this world, and her father has not come back for more than ten years, most of them are new lovers.
