Chapter 11: Something Happened
When Zheng Chen returned to the rental house, he looked at the time, the phone was already out of battery, took it out to charge, turned it on, and found that a year had passed.
"Huh... What's going on? It's been a year? Could it be that a month in ancient times is a year in the modern world? Isn't it true that the flow of time in the modern world is slower than that of the other world? It seems that novels are harmful, so I should read fewer novels in the future. Zheng Chen sighed, and then went into the bathroom to take a bath.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, and cutting off most of his hair, Zheng Chen plans to go out for a haircut and sell another wig.
But at this moment, Zheng Chen felt that something was wrong, why was his house still so clean in a year, there was no layer of dust, and the furnishings had not changed, and the landlord could not be so good at talking and not seeing people and keeping it.
Zheng Chen picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, the time immediately changed, it was only more than a day since he left, he lived for thirty-six days in ancient times, and now thirty-six hours have passed, that is to say, one hour is equal to one day in the other world.
But what about the time displayed on the phone? Shimen space, that is to say, Shimen space is not static, and the flow speed is hundreds of times that of the modern world.
Zheng Chen feels that he should read more novels in the future, although there are many times when it is not logical, but there is still some reasonableness.
Going out for a haircut, shopping, packing up things and checking out to the station, Zheng Chen only took half a day to take the train back to Guangxi and arrive home at night.
I had dinner at Uncle Zheng Yi's house and asked for a bag of sweet potatoes and a few potatoes, and I had some information on the Internet, and the house was not cleaned up, so I went directly to the other world through the stone gate.
It only took one-third of the energy to cross once, and two-thirds of the time, and the progress bar was full again after a day, and Zheng Chen returned to the place where he had left again.
Immediately took out the bag of sweet potatoes and a few potatoes, the sweet potatoes and potatoes had already sprouted, and Zheng Chen carried them back to Zhengjia Village like this.
But he didn't go far before he encountered a few bandits, as if he was waiting for him.
"Honestly, come with us..."
"Big brothers, I'll give you all the money I have, just let me go!" Zheng Chen put down the sweet potato, took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the bandits.
"You think we're waiting here for you to kidnap you?" The leading bandit turned back to Zheng Chen and asked.
"It's not... How could it be..."Zheng Chen's heart sank when he heard them say this, and he was ready to return to the modern world at any time, he thought that these bandits were called by the Lu family and wanted to take revenge on him.
"We're here to save you, fool, do you know that half a month ago, your two brothers were arrested by the government, sentenced to confiscate the army, and also blocked the news, there are still a few officers and soldiers in your Zhengjia Village guarding there, and you will be arrested and tattooed as soon as you go back." The bandit in the lead explained to Zheng Chen.
"Caught? Tattoo to fill the army? What's going on? Zheng Chen was stunned, how could he be arrested?
"Tax evasion, murder of other people's finances..."
"What about the Fang family? Is there anything wrong with the Fang family? Zheng Chen felt as if he had been killed by the mill.
"Of course it's okay for the Fang family to have a backer, and the others are okay too, only your three brothers were sentenced, and even your two sisters-in-law who didn't pass through the door are fine, and they still get a sum of money."
"The Fang family... I made a note of it. Zheng Chen was furious, he didn't expect the Fang family to do such a desperate thing, this matter must not be counted like this.
After stabilizing his mind, Zheng Chen asked again, "Then what's the matter with you?" Why are you taking me back to the cottage? As long as you tell me, I won't be stupid enough to go back and throw myself into the net, and if you bring me back, aren't you afraid that the officers and soldiers will encircle and suppress you? ”
"Don't worry about this, the officers and soldiers will not come to encircle and suppress us, even if the county order knows, they will turn a blind eye, as long as you don't die, you won't be arrested in Fengxiang Town." The leading bandit said confidently.
"Why? Did you give the money county order? You haven't said why you want to take me back to your cottage. Zheng Chen guessed that it should be the collusion of officials and thieves.
"The county magistrate will not chase you because you have a good political performance.
We rescued you for two reasons: First, people from Zhengjia Village and several nearby villages pooled a sum of money for us to help.
The second is that our eldest brother has taken a fancy to your mind and wants to bring you back to be our military advisor. ”
Zheng Chen asked some more about what happened during his absence, and the leading bandit also answered one by one.
After coming to the cottage, Zheng Chen saw Lu Zhi, the leader of the bandits, Lu Zhi withdrew his subordinates and said to Zheng Chen: "It is not the Fang family who dealt with you this time, the Fang family also gave me a sum of money, so that I can protect you." As for your two eldest brothers, you don't have to worry, the Fang family has already taken care of it, and they won't be wronged. ”
"The Lu family? No, they have all been confiscated, it can't be the Lu family, did the Fang family say who it is? Zheng Chen couldn't understand that he seemed to have only offended the Lu family, but if the Lu family had such a big backstage, it wouldn't be so miserable.
"The Fang family doesn't know the identity of the other party, they only know that the other party's origin is very big, even in Kyoto, few people dare to provoke. As for how you offended the other party's family, I can't find out. Lu Zhi explained.
"Who's going to deal with me? I'm just a little-known person, no reason! Zheng Chen couldn't figure out why the big men in Kyoto wanted to deal with him.
"Don't think about it so much, you won't be fine if you stay here, you will be the military advisor of our cottage in the future, give us advice and unify the nearby mountains." Lu Zhi patted Zheng Chen's shoulder and said.
"I won't do anything about killing people and setting fires, I don't want to be in the same league with you, you let me go, I will protect myself." It's too simple to want to be incognito in this environment in ancient times, as long as you stay away from here and develop slowly, sooner or later you will be able to take revenge.
"Our Qingfeng Village is not like those outlaws who kill people and set fires, there is no bottom line, we only rob profiteers, we will not rob the poor people."
"Really?"
"Of course..."
"Okay, then I'll stay here for a while..."
"Well, you can leave at any time if you find out that our people are doing evil." Lu Zhi promised.
"That's what you said..."Zheng Chen also felt that the other party was not lying, and he didn't have that kind of gangsterism, so there was no good place to stay and take a look.
"The Fang family also said that you have a share of the newly opened restaurants, and they will send the money as long as you say it no matter what." Lu Zhi smiled and winked at Zheng Chen.
"That's my money, not yours, you don't have to think about it." Of course, Zheng Chen understood what Lu Zhi meant, and wanted to take out the money for him himself, so he didn't have to think about it.
