Chapter 3: Crossing
After resting for another night, An Yuluo's somewhat confused head finally came to his senses. The pain and exhaustion in my body have also disappeared, and it is time to face up to the question of where I am.
When I was about to get out of bed and put on my shoes, I found a pair of cloth shoes on the ground, the uppers were plain but I could see that they were handmade.
"Cloth skirts, pottery bowls, cloth shoes, and oil lamps, even in economically backward places, there are always one or two modern technological things, right?" An Yuluo said as he put on his shoes.
After getting out of bed, An Yuluo always felt as if he had become shorter, "Maybe the cloth shoes don't have a height pad."
When I got out of the house, I found that this was a very ordinary village courtyard. The house where An Yuluo lives is a single room, and there is a slightly larger room that comes out of the level, presumably where the mother-in-law lives, and there is a kitchen opposite, and the room on the right side is like a hall. There is a flock of chickens and ducks next to the hall, and on the left is the entrance. There was a big yellow dog squatting on the left side of the gatehouse, and when he saw An Yuluo, he didn't bark, but tilted his head and wagged his tail to look at her, as if he knew that she was not a bad person. There was a simple thatched hut next to the kennel with a pile of firewood. On the right side of the door was an old ox, lazily resting on its stomach at the moment, its ears and tail swaying from time to time due to the harassment of mosquitoes and flies.
An Yuluo walked towards the big yellow dog and squatted down not far away.
"Dog, you know where this is!" When the big yellow dog saw An Yu falling, his tail wagged even more happily, and seeing that she was not close not far away, he came to An Yuluo very familiarly. It wasn't until An Yuluo touched its head that it closed its eyes comfortably, and its mouth was still humming.
An Yuluo looked at his hands, and when he couldn't see clearly in the room, he found that his hands and arms had become snow-white and slender, how to look at it, how to feel that he had become one size smaller.
"Am I still dehydrated?" An Yuluo stretched out his arm and compared.
At this time, you can hear the sound of approaching footsteps and conversations outside the door.
Villager A: "I heard that the imperial court has reduced taxes this year!"
Villager B: "Yes, this year is because the six princes won the battle and recovered the barbarians in the south, and the emperor was happy, so he gave amnesty to the world, and the tax revenue was reduced within three years."
Villager A: "It seems that the fields planted this year can not only be fed, but also a lot richer!" ”
Villager B: "That's right, hurry up and take advantage of this year's harvest to go and ask for a daughter-in-law to come back!"
Villager A: "Just think about it, the girls in these ten miles and eight villages are still waiting for the girl of the old Liu family at the head of the village and the lotus girl of Uncle Ping's family......"
The voice of the conversation was getting closer and farther away, but the words inside made An Yuluo's mind mess up.
'The court, the six princes, the emperor, the amnesty of the world, what is this?! ’
Suddenly, An Yuluo looked at his hand and thought of a question. "I'm still me now" At this time, An Yuluo began to look for something that could reflect his shadow. It's a pity that there is nothing in this small courtyard that can clearly reflect his face.
"Where the hell am I?" An Yuluo had no choice but to scratch his hair and touch the head of the big yellow dog, very helpless.
There is no way, An Yuluo is not very familiar with this place and does not dare to go out of the yard at will, so he can only wait in the yard for his mother-in-law to come back to ask clearly.
While waiting, An Yuluo got up to find a basin of water and planned to freshen up. I found a basin of water in the hall, and I scooped some water into the kitchen tank and rinsed it briefly. When he was bored, he began to look around the courtyard.
There is indeed nothing modern technology here, and the irritability in my heart slowly calms down. After all, no matter how irritable you are, you can't change the fact that you seem to have really crossed over.
Walking to the front of her mother-in-law's house, An Yuluo hesitated to go in and have a look, but because she was not the master, she didn't enter the house casually.
In the end, he was bored, so he stared at his mother-in-law in the yard with wide eyes and a dog, waiting for his mother-in-law to come back.
