Ming Dynasty, Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youtang.

The eighteenth year of Hongzhi.

Chief Secretary of Yunnan, Yongchang Prefecture, Tengyue Prefecture.

"Ah..." Xu Chen couldn't help but scream loudly and sat up.

The moment severe pain spread throughout his body, he almost thought he was going to die.

However,

The severe pain came and went away just as quickly. He only had time to let out a scream before disappearing.

Whoosh,

Whoosh,

He was breathing heavily, and even though the severe pain had disappeared, his heart was still beating wildly. The real feeling of being on the verge of death made him unable to calm down for a long time.

crunch,

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of the old wooden door turning, followed by the sound of staggering footsteps walking in.

He turned around and saw an old white-headed man entering the room.

Um?

Where did the old man come from?

Aren't you preparing to eat barbecue and watch shooting stars on the street?

wrong,

He suddenly reacted, his eyes flashed with red light, then he felt a huge pain, and then he lost consciousness.

Can,

Where is this?

Why do you appear here?

He glanced at the old man. He had cloudy eyes, a face full of wrinkles, and he was bent over. He was holding a brown porcelain bowl with a chip in his hand. His hands were dark and covered with calluses.

What really puzzled Xu Chen was that the old man was wearing a gray-white, patched robe.

This outfit...

Immediately afterwards, he quickly took a look at the surrounding environment.

It was a small house with a wooden structure. He was lying on a wooden frame bed, and when he looked up, he could see dry wormwood covering the roof.

The windows under the eaves were covered with a thick layer of oiled paper, the light transmittance was not very good, and there were several damages.

But at least Xu Chen can be sure that it is bright daytime outside.

This means that he was unconscious for at least one night.

This,

This was exactly what he was confused about.

If he was really unconscious, shouldn't he be in the hospital now? How could he wake up in such an inexplicable place?

While he was puzzled, the old man put the bowl next to the bed and said, "Young man, drink some water."

The old man's voice was unclear and had a strong dialect. Xu Chen reluctantly made a guess.

He opened the thin quilt on his body, got out of bed and moved his hands and feet twice. He found that there was nothing serious, so he said to the old man:

"Uncle, where is this?"

"ah?"

The old man put his hands to his ears, not knowing whether he didn't hear clearly or didn't understand.

Xu Chen's heart panicked for no reason. He hurriedly said to the old man: "I'm fine. Thank you sir. I'll leave now. When I get back, I'll thank you properly."

Regardless of whether the old man understood it or not, he opened the door and walked out.

Outside the door, the sun is blazing.

In front of you is a small fenced courtyard. Outside the courtyard's entrance is a winding dirt road extending into the distance, with thousands of green mountains hidden deep in the clouds and mist.

Dozens of small fenced courtyards like this stand quietly at the foot of the mountain.

A group of men dressed in ancient costumes were practicing in the open field in the center of the village. They heard shouts and shouts, which shocked Xu Chen's heart.

Xu Chen closed his eyes and slowly opened them after a while. The scene in front of him was still the same, without any change.

He knew without asking that this was definitely not Bingcheng or H Province.

But, it should still be in China.

Although he didn't quite understand what the old man said, he was at least sure it was in Chinese.

I don't know if this is good news or bad news.

"you're awake?"

Suddenly, a voice came, and Xu Chen looked around. In the corner of the courtyard, a woman was drying vegetables.

This woman was wearing navy blue clothes and looked to be about thirty years old. Although she spoke with a dialect accent, Xu Chen could barely understand her.

He was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Hello, sister, may I ask where this is?"

"This is Yingjiang County, Tengyue Prefecture," the woman replied.

Um?

Xu Chen was sure that he had never heard of this place. After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Well, I wonder what year it is now?"

"It's July of the Yichou Year of Hongzhi"

Hong, Hongzhi?

Qing?

No, that's Hongli.

Who is Hongzhi? At this moment, Xu Chen had so many thoughts and an old saying flashed through his mind: Only when the book is used can you regret it!

crunch,

There was a sound behind him, and the old man opened the door and walked out, but he looked at Xu Chen and said, "Young man, where are you from?"

Xu Chen understood this sentence, but he didn't know how to answer, so he asked: "Where did you bring me back from?"

"I set up a trap on the mountain this morning. I saw you unconscious in the mountain, so I brought you back."

The speaker was a seven-foot-old man who pushed in from outside the courtyard. The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, strong muscles, and his bare upper body was dark and shiny.

After hearing this, Xu Chen hurriedly said: "Thank you big brother for saving me. I can't repay you for saving my life..."

Report...Hmm!

"It doesn't matter, my surname is Ding, and my name is Daniu. This is where our hundred households in Yingjiang are located. Where did this little brother come from, and how did he end up unconscious on the mountain?"

Ding Daniu took the coarse cloth from his wife's hand, wiped his body, and said.

Xu Chen really didn't know how to answer this question.

Even if it was a lie, he didn't know what to say, because he couldn't answer a few questions after what he said.

He had no choice but to say: "I don't know how I ended up unconscious on the mountain, and I can't remember what happened before. I just remember that I was hit by a red light, and when I opened my eyes again, I was in the house."

That's right,

He was now almost certain that his appearance here was probably caused by that flash of red light.

Ding Daniu looked at him twice and asked his wife to cook.

There are six people in the Ding family, including Ding and Daniu, two old men at the top, and two teenagers at the bottom.

A bowl of porridge, two hard biscuits, and a plate of pickles. The only fishy flavor may be the plate of scrambled eggs in front of Xu Chen.

But he didn't move,

It's not that he dislikes it, but that it's given to those two half-grown men who are eager to see through it.

After dinner,

Ding Daniu asked him: "What are your plans for the future?"

“Planning to visit the capital”

Xu Chen now knows that this is the Ming Dynasty, and it is certain that it was after Zhu Di and before Chongzhen.

Ding Daniu said that the Ming Dynasty had been established for more than a hundred years. Xu Chen couldn't remember clearly how many years the Ming Dynasty had experienced, but he thought that as long as he had another sixty or seventy years, he could live in peace until his death.

After the panic when he first arrived, Xu Chen began to make plans for the future. Since he knew that he was in the Ming Dynasty, the most prosperous place must be in the capital.

Xu Chen believed that as long as he arrived in the capital, with his skills as a descendant, he would at least be able to eat and drink without worrying about being a prince for generations.

"The capital..."

Ding Daniu sighed longingly: "It's a long way to the capital, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk. Besides, do you have enough money to go to the capital?"
