Chapter 1: The Return of Troubled Times
Late, 8:20.
In the suburbs of Shencheng, in a residential building that was just opened two years ago, it is an ordinary high-rise residential building that can no longer be ordinary.
With an imperceptible sound of air shaking and tearing, a strangely dressed man suddenly appeared in one of the black-lit rooms.
There is no one indoors.
Naturally, no one could see how this young man in his twenties suddenly appeared in the living room of the room out of thin air. And the tattered, bloodstained red jacket on his body, the eight-petal round-brimmed iron helmet, and the old-fashioned fire gun in his hand naturally did not attract onlookers.
"It's ???" Shao Cheng was stunned, but he was pleasantly surprised: "This is back?!" ”。
Surrounded by familiar and unfamiliar decorations and furnishings.
Second-hand sand bought after renting a house...... A white wall that does not allow nailing...... and cheap laminate flooring underfoot......
Although he had been away for three years, Shao Cheng quickly reacted - wasn't this the house he lived in before he crossed over?
And it's exactly the same as when he left, as if not a single new dust had fallen in three years......
Immediately.
Shao Cheng reacted - this qiē may not have been well maintained for three years, but simply only experienced three years by himself...... Did you travel through the end of the Ming Dynasty and spend three years and then travel back to the time when you left? Or is there a huge difference in the flow between the two worlds?
This kind of thinking lasted only a short time.
Shao Chengyi, who knew that it would be difficult for him to find the answer for a while, sat on the familiar sand at home. The soft and comfortable touch suddenly made Shao Cheng feel that his bones were soft......
It may be difficult for people living in a modern peaceful society to appreciate Shao Cheng's feelings.
From a sudden crossing during a bath three years ago.
From the shock and panic of the initial crossing, to the fact that I am in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, I began to think about how to survive in the late Ming Dynasty......
Helping people to do hard labor just for a rough meal and sleeping in a well-ventilated woody house......
The city was devastated, surrounded by an army of thieves, and had to brave the volley of guns of the Ming army......
I wanted to follow the rebel army and seize the opportunity to offer advice to Li Zicheng...... didn't want to, but was jealous of Li Zicheng's number one strategist, Niu Jinxing, and designed to exclude him, and finally drove Shao Cheng out of the rebel army......
wandered all the way, but was captured by the Ming army again, and in turn became a member of the platoon of guns and shot at the crowded peasant army opposite......
In the past three years, Shao Cheng has tasted the taste of troubled times.
Maybe those real Ming Dynasty people would be better - people like Shao Cheng himself who have no household registration and can't even tell their provenance have no possibility of staying in one place to do business and become officials! After hundreds of years, the Ming Dynasty has been solidified and stiffened, and the Ming Dynasty is not something that an outsider like Shao Cheng can insert at will.
And that era.
The entire imperial court, and even the people, have long been extremely corrupt.
Money and power have become the only mainstream pursuits.
The court and the army were corrupt, exploited at all levels, training was lax, and even ordnance and weapons were smuggled and sold, and only some defective products were matched.
Even if Shao Cheng repeatedly took the opportunity to propose innovative reforms and construction to the above, and even spent a lot of time imitating a missionary's flint pistol to improve the bird gun, the result was that Shangguan was punished and ridiculed by dozens of military sticks......
Only those who have really experienced the corruption of all the people around him, who are not ashamed but proud, and look around, there is no one who does the facts...... How dark and rotten the times when bureaucrats, wealthy businessmen, and soldiers have no honor, and the nation and the country can speak of.
So far.
Shao Cheng can understand why the Ming Dynasty, a huge empire with a population of tens of millions, collapsed so lightly in history, and was destroyed by the Jurchens with hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Just ask.
Most of the people in a country have become villains who have no morality, no honor, no nation, no justice and justice, only look at money and power, and are greedy for life and afraid of death...... How can this be immortal?!
……
Knock Knock Knock ......
Just as Shao Cheng was stunned and was about to fall asleep on the sand, a crisp knock on the door woke him up instantly!
With a, Shao Cheng sat up from the sand.
The three years of troubled times have brought not only hardship and suffering, but also alertness honed in many crises.
Knock Knock Knock ......
The knock on the door rang again.
The unique sound of the security door made Shao Cheng react - he had left the troubled era where the peasant army, the Ming army, and bandits were fighting everywhere.
Walked to the door in a few steps, held on to the door frame, and looked through the cat's eye: Shao Cheng saw that the person standing outside the door was a woman he had never seen before!
Hesitated.
Shao Cheng opened the door.
"Hello, I'm upstairs...... I lost my bag today and can't get in, can I borrow your phone to use it? The woman at the door said very politely.
"Oh, yes...... I'll help you find it. After Shao Cheng agreed, he remembered that he had been away for three years, and he had already forgotten where to put his mobile phone.
Fortunately, Shao Cheng's mobile phone was either on the table or on the sand.
After searching for a while, I found the phone from the sand handrail.
"Thank you." The woman took the phone, and politely couldn't hide her curiosity when she looked at Shao Cheng's outfit.
"cospLay, I sometimes role-play." Shao Cheng casually made an excuse.
Fortunately, there are all kinds of novel behaviors in modern society, and although it is just a fan of cospLay, it is also eye-catching, but after all, it is only a common hobby.
The woman smiled politely and started calling on her phone.
Taking advantage of this gap, Shao Ben, who had already developed the habit of careful observation in the troubled times, began to look at and analyze this woman......
At the age of about twenty, his skin is very good-fair and shiny, if it weren't for the mature and charming temperament in his conversation and temperament, Shao Cheng would never dare to make such a conclusion.
Goose egg face, beautiful and delicate facial features, seven points beautiful and three points gorgeous, gentle temperament, no pretentiousness.
She is a woman who makes people know at a glance that they are comfortable to get along with.
This temperament, as well as the unfetterous waist overskirt, black stockings, and black high heels, suggest that the woman may be working in an office or other similar job......
In this way, she can easily brush off a large number of tender models and work steadily, which shows that this woman's character should be okay......
Shao Cheng analyzed a lot of information in his mind in a short period of time, and this woman naturally didn't know anything.
After making the call, I also returned the phone very politely.
The fingertips got along with each other during the handover, and the silkiness couldn't help but make Shao Cheng's heart flutter......
'What a superb woman...... Shao Cheng thought to himself, this three-year chaotic experience has made Shao Chengsheng a great change.
If it is said that it was Shao Cheng three years ago.
I'm afraid that I don't dare to think anything if I meet this young woman dozens or hundreds of times. For him, maybe honestly find a woman who is not ugly or beautiful, live a plain life, if he can be promoted and raised in the future, buy a few houses for rent, and have a car may be his biggest ambition.
But in the three years of traveling through the late Ming Dynasty...... Shao Cheng, who has experienced a lot, has already undergone tremendous changes in his heart.
Perhaps, he himself did not clearly realize that the way of thinking of "power first" and "speaking with a knife" in the troubled times had already become a part of his thoughts!
