Chapter 1 Return to Datang(1/2)

Chapter 1 Return to the Tang Dynasty
Author: Gao Yue
Chapter 1 Return to the Tang Dynasty
Yonghefang is a famous slum in Chang'an City. The people living here are of various religions and are chaotic and have various disputes. However, generally speaking, the people do not complain and the officials do not investigate.
There is a dilapidated small courtyard in the middle of the square, with walls made of mud mixed with wheat straw. There are three rickety houses in the courtyard.
The courtyard door is riddled with holes and is worse than a beggar's clothes, but there is a very impressive sign hanging on it: "One post is perfect". It turns out that this is a medical clinic.
That morning, a woman walked quickly with a bamboo basket on her arm and an iron hammer in her other hand. It was an iron hammer, weighing twenty kilograms. It was unknown which general had left a weapon on the battlefield.
The woman is about thirty years old, wearing a cloth skirt, her black hair is tied tightly, wrapped in cloth, and a copper hairpin is inserted at an angle. The years have not washed away the delicate and pretty appearance of her face, but there is a faint hidden between her eyebrows.
A murderous aura.
Her appearance is absolutely like a fairy in this slum. Although many rogues covet her beauty, they are afraid of the hammer in her hand.
The woman's name is Pei Sanniang, and she is the owner of the previous Yi Tie Jue Medical Clinic. She makes a living in this slum area by relying on her sometimes effective and sometimes ineffective medical skills.
When I walked to the door, a neighbor shouted: "Sanniang, your little plum is sitting on the well platform again. It's very dangerous. Go and have a look!"
"Thank you, Mrs. Ge!"
Pei Sanniang quickened her pace and tightened her grip on the hammer in her hand.
At this time, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old was sitting by the well in the yard. He was not very old but very tall, at least half a head taller than Pei Sanniang. He was sitting on the platform of the well with his feet dangling in the well.
, but his eyes were fixed on the bottom of the well, as if there was a secret path to another world at the bottom of the well.
"Ah Ye!"
When Pei Sanniang saw her son sitting by the well in thin clothes, she felt distressed and annoyed at the same time, "Why did you come out here instead of lying on the bed?"
She threw away the hammer, took three steps at a time, and quickly grabbed her son's arm. With great strength, she dragged him down from the well platform.
The boy broke away from her hand angrily, "Don't touch me!"
"Who cares about you? If you can, jump down and I promise not to stop you!"
"Mu Niang! Mu Niang!"
Pei Sanniang shouted twice more, and an old woman came out of the easternmost room, "Hey! Why is Ah Ye coming out?"
"Hurry up and help the brat in. Don't recite sutras all day long. People will run out and you won't even know."
"Blame me!"
The old woman quickly stepped forward to help the boy up and entered the house. The boy's irritability finally calmed down and he regained his senses.
"Thank you, ma'am!"
He lay down on his little bed, put his hands under his head, and sighed deeply.
Li Ye still can't face the reality. Because he failed in the public examination, he went to Lishan Mountain to relax alone. When he went down the mountain, he missed his footing and fell into a pool. When he woke up, he was in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ye was at a loss for a moment.
"Aye, drink the medicine while it's hot."
Aunt Mu brought a bowl of hot soup. Her smile was full of kindness, which reminded Li Ye of his long-dead grandmother. He often caught colds when he was a child, and her grandmother would always bring a cup of medicine to coax him to drink it.
But this medicine was too bitter. He had never tasted such a bitter medicine before. It was like a thick soup made from yellow lotus.
"Auntie, I really don't want to drink this medicine, it's too bitter!"
"The medicine is a bit bitter, but you have to understand your mother's hard work. She went out of the city to collect medicine. She didn't sleep for days and nights to prepare medicine for you. It took a lot of effort to bring you back from hell. Without your mother, you would
He’s long dead.”
"Mu Niang, stop talking, this brat doesn't appreciate it!" Pei Sanniang said angrily at the door.
"Drink it quickly! The good medicine is bitter and good for the disease. Only after drinking the medicine will your body gradually get better!" Aunt Mu patiently advised him.
Li Ye had no choice but to take the bowl and drink it in one gulp. He was still so bitter that he frowned. He quickly took the water glass from the aunt's hand and took a few sips to relieve the bitterness in his mouth, and then he lay down again.
The old woman winked secretly at Pei Sanniang, and Pei Sanniang's tense face finally showed a smile.







Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Ye had to accept the reality that it was impossible to go back.
He has begun to enter his role in the Tang Dynasty, just think of it as acting! When the show is over and everyone is gone, maybe he can go back.
Once he accepted the reality, all kinds of doubts came one after another.
When is it in the Tang Dynasty now? Which year?
Who is his father?
Aunt Mu said he was almost killed, so what happened?







Early that morning, he was awakened by a noise in the yard.
"Cripple Wang, keep the money for the plaster and get out of here!"
"Sanniang, give me a chance..."
"Bullshit opportunity, if you dare to do anything again, I'll smash your head in with a hammer!"
A man asked angrily: "How much does the medicine cost?"
"Twenty cents!"
Hearing the sound of copper coins, the man refused to give up and said: "I will come to see a doctor next time!"
"Get out of here!"
The courtyard door creaked shut, and Pei Sanniang said bitterly: "If you want to take advantage of me, just dream!"
Li Ye turned over and sat up, put on a piece of clothing, opened the door and walked into the yard.
It's early spring, and it's late spring. The yard is covered with a thin layer of white frost. Pei Sanniang is sitting in the corner of the house, carefully pounding medicine into the stone bowl with a medicine mallet.
"Mother!" The mother's voice was very forced, and he spoke with great difficulty, "I want to ask you something!"
Pei Sanniang didn't look up, "What do you want to ask?"
Li Ye was a little hesitant and asked rashly what year it was, which would scare people.
"I don't know why, I've forgotten so many things!"
"I know, your mind has been so damaged that you don't even recognize your own mother." Pei Sanniang said angrily.
"What year is this?" Li Ye asked bravely.
"What did you say?" Pei Sanniang looked up at him in surprise.
Li Ye scratched his head, "I mean, what is the emperor's name and what is his reign?"
"What do you call the emperor? He is not your father. This year is Tianbao's eighth year."
To be continued...
