Chapter 2 Traveling Through Time and Space(1/2)

When Zhu Riguang woke up, he felt pain all over his body, as if all the bones in his body were about to crack. He wanted to speak, but he opened his mouth but could not say a word. In a trance, he heard a man's voice in surprise.

He said: "Mom, third brother has woken up, third brother has woken up..."

Zhu Riguang felt confused, "Am I not dead? Am I in the hospital? Who was that person talking about waking up just now?"

"Creak!" The door rang, and the footsteps sounded like two people coming in. The one in front had heavy steps, and the one behind him had light steps. A loud voice said urgently: "Brother, is the third brother really awake?"

The first voice said: "Yes, second brother. I saw third brother move and open his mouth just now. It's probably because he is hungry. He has been in a coma for three days. I'm going to make some porridge for third brother."

Zhu Riguang felt that the man with light steps walked to his bed and gently touched his face with his hands, which were covered with stiff calluses.

Zhu Riguang was frightened for a while, had I arrived at the Hall of the King of Hell, and what kind of punishment were they going to give me? Then he felt something was wrong, and the hand on his face trembled a little, and then he heard the man sobbing softly in his ear.

After a while, the man finally cried out: "San'er, since you were arrested by the government that year, mother heard that the government asked you to serve as soldiers to fight against the rebels. Later, I heard that you were killed in Shandong.

Huang Chao's thieves killed me. I thought I would never see you again. How pitiful you are..."

Zhu Riguang's brain is a bit big. What's going on here? Am I dreaming? Why are there rebels? Huang Chao has come out. What a mess. Two brothers are here.

Could it be that I'm not dead yet? Someone rescued me, but when they were looking for my family, someone identified the wrong person? No, where did the Huang Chao rebels come from? The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and his head felt dizzy, so he simply didn't think about it.

.I wanted to take a look at the surrounding environment, but when I opened my eyes, it was all blurry. I could only see blurry shadows of everything, and I just felt so hungry...

Fortunately, the man soon brought a bowl of hot porridge and fed it to Zhu Riguang's mouth with a small spoon. Zhu Riguang didn't care what kind of porridge it was, he drank it as soon as it came to his mouth, and fell asleep after drinking it.

When he woke up the next day, Zhu Riguang felt much better, his head ached and his eyesight was no longer blurred.

Thinking about what happened yesterday, it felt like a dream, but his body still hurt. He moved his limbs, and it seemed that he didn't hurt his muscles or bones. Maybe I was scratched on the rocks when I rolled down the waterfall. It should have been yesterday.

Dizzy with hunger, he thought.

Zhu Riguang was suddenly startled: "That's not right!" Only then did he realize that the surrounding environment was so unfamiliar.

The low roof is a wooden structure, and the room is very small and simple. There is only a very old low wooden table, a few broken wooden pillars made of tree roots placed around the wooden table, and the surrounding walls are

Mottled earth walls.

"Where is this? Where am I? Hell?" he shouted in his heart. "I seem to have eaten yesterday, why do I still feel so hungry?" he thought.

The narrow and simple old wooden door opened with a creak, and a man with a few patches on his clothes came in. He seemed to be in his thirties, with a dark face and a thick beard on his upper lip. Although he was dressed

Shabby but somewhat elegant. But why are the clothes he wears so weird? I seem to have only seen them on TV. Isn't this a movie? Zhu Riguang thought to himself.

He looked around and saw no camera. It didn't look like he was filming a movie. What on earth was going on?

The man saw Zhu Riguang's doubtful eyes wandering around, and said in surprise: "Oh, third brother, you're awake, how do you feel? You've frightened us these past few days. Didn't you let the government arrest you?"

Did the soldiers attack the rebel Huang Chao? How did you escape?"

A series of questions confused Zhu Riguang, "It's the rebel Huang Chao again! Where is this and who am I? Isn't this really a movie?" Zhu Riguang looked around again without giving up, but still

Didn't see the camera.

His heart was turbulent. What on earth is going on? Is this a dream? But it doesn't look like a dream. He pinched his thigh with his hand. It hurt. It hurt. It wasn't a dream. Could it be... Could it be that I'm not Zhu Riguang? I'm someone else.

Alone? Then who am I? Am I really that poor man’s third brother?

Seeing that he was in a trance, the man said a little worriedly: "What's wrong, third brother? Where do you feel uncomfortable? The day before yesterday, Mr. Wang from the village head came to see you and said that you just had multiple bruises on your body. It's nothing serious. You just feel a little uncomfortable."

You're weak, you can recover in a few days. Alas, I was frightened when I saw you passed out at the entrance of the village that day..."

Zhu Riguang raised his eyes and looked at the man carefully. When he confirmed that he had never seen him before, he said: "Sir, you may have mistaken the person. I have never seen you before, and I am not your third brother."

"Did you save me? Where is this place? Do you have a phone at home? I'll call home and ask someone to pick me up. I'm really sorry for bothering you all the time..."

The man seemed unable to accept his words for a moment, so he quickly stopped: "Stop! Wait, you said you don't know me?"

Zhu Riguang nodded and said, "Yes, I have never seen you before."

The man put his face close to Zhu Riguang's and looked at it carefully for a long time, then murmured: "That's right, you are my third brother. Although we haven't seen each other for three years, we have lived together for twenty years."

Brother, how could I admit my mistake?"

Zhu Riguang smiled bitterly and said: "But I'm really not your third brother. My family has been passed down for three generations and there has never been an older brother. If there was one, how could I not know about it?"

The man frowned and asked, "Then what's your name?"

"My name is Zhu Riguang."

The man smiled and said: "Yes, your surname is Zhu, your nickname is Riguang, and your first name is "Wen". I am your eldest brother Zhu Yu, your second brother is called Zhu Cun, and your late father's name is Zhu Cheng. Because he lived in the countryside,

When I opened a school to teach disciples, I was given the nickname 'Zhu Wu Jing'... Do you remember it?"

Zhu Riguang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No!"

The man said anxiously: "What? You haven't remembered yet?" I thought what happened to the third brother? He didn't even recognize the eldest brother he had lived with for twenty years? A thought suddenly came to his mind: "Is it because of divorce?

Soul disease?" Zhu Yu also studied with his father since he was a child. Although the farthest place he has ever traveled in his life is the county seat sixty miles away, he is considered "well-informed" in the village.

After figuring out the problem, Zhu Yu asked: "Did you fall and hurt your head? Or was there a strong impact on the back of your head? How did you get this Soul Leaving Syndrome?"

Zhu Riguang smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, what age do you still have Leaps of Soul Syndrome? Do you have a mobile phone? A phone number will do. I'll call home and ask my family to pick me up and tell me where this place is?"

"

The man wondered: "What kind of chicken? I've never seen one before. I've only seen roosters and hens, but I've never seen a chicken. And what is that phone you mentioned?"

Zhu Riguang's head felt dizzy. What was going on? What on earth was going on?

Here Zhu Riguang was holding his head in a daze. Outside the door came another second brother Zhu Cun, whom he had never met before, and another Queen Wang who had never seen him before. Wang's hair was gray, and his face was covered with

Seeing Zhu Riguang wake up with wrinkles like a knife, he was so excited that he burst into tears and cried: "Oh... San'er, I miss my mother so much... Wuwu..."

Zhu Cun was a tall and powerful figure, also dressed in coarse cloth clothes full of patches. He carried a bow and arrow on his back and two wild rabbits in his hands. He said in a loud voice: "Third brother, wake up. The doctor said you are weak."

, I specially shot two wild rabbits and came back to make up for you..."

Zhu Riguang is about to faint. What is going on? Huang Chao, Zhu Yu, Zhu Cun, Zhu Wen, Zhu Wujing...could it be...could I have traveled through time? No way? How can I go back? Can't I find my wife and son?

What should I do? I am Zhu San? That Zhu Wen, the number one evil star in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties? Oh my god, what is going on...

When Zhu Yu and his wife heard that the third child was suffering from soul-leaving syndrome, they couldn't help but burst into tears. Of course, they also interrogated Zhu Riguang for a while. The more they asked, the colder they became. No matter how they asked the third child, they still didn't admit that they were Zhu Wen.

I couldn't help but shed tears and lament.

Zhu Yu still has some "insight". He said: "The third child may have been hit on the head suddenly by something, and then he suffered from soul-leaving syndrome and forgot everything before. Maybe he will recover slowly."

Come here, even if he can't recover, he is still the third child. No matter what we do, we can't let him wander outside anymore. He went through a lot of hardships to get back from Shandong. Doesn't he just want to reunite with his family? Although

He doesn’t remember anything now, but we still have to treat him as before, do you understand?”

Zhu Cun, the second child, glared and said: "You have been talking for a long time and you are talking about me. How could I not be good to the third child? When the third child was at home, wasn't I the one who took the best care of him? It's not like you, who always takes advantage of the boss.

Teach me and the third child a lesson about our identity."

Zhu Yu said: "I'm just talking, second brother, why do you talk so much?"

Zhu Cun muttered in a low voice: "You are only allowed to chatter for a long time, and I can say anything. Is the boss so amazing?"

Zhu Yu glanced at Zhu Cun and said, "Second brother, what are you talking about?"

Zhu Cun chuckled and said: "No...nothing...I said that the eldest brother is kind-hearted. He can be filial to his mother and take care of his younger brother. He really deserves to be that...what the hell...ha...haha" when he talked about himself later

I didn’t know what to say, and I felt funny in my heart, so I just pretended to be embarrassed and laughed.

Zhu Yu ignored him lazily, pacing back and forth in the room, and suddenly whispered: "I heard that the soul-leaving syndrome is caused by a sudden and violent impact on the head. It can be done when he is not paying attention.

Give him a hard blow on the head, maybe it will cure him..."

Zhu Riguang's head was dizzy for a long time. He just recovered a little. He happened to hear Zhu Yu's words and hurriedly said: "No, what if you accidentally hit my brain? What if I get a concussion or something?"

What should I do if I’m in a vegetative state or something?”

Zhu Yu and others looked at him as if he were an alien, listening to his "nonsense", but they thought that the third child was suffering from soul-leaving syndrome, so it was reasonable for him to speak in a mess.

Zhu Riguang's first sober day after coming to this world passed in chaos.

Zhu Riguang didn't dare to tell them that he had traveled through time more than 1,100 years in the future. He probably told them that they would have thought that the third child had damaged his brain and that his talk was considered normal.

Zhu Riguang sighed. He looked around and looked at this so-called "home". The pigsty wouldn't be like this, right? He thought to himself, this is really a house with only four walls.

Zhu Riguang spent three days in a daze, and the scratches on his body were almost healed. During these three days, he finally confirmed that he was the man who lived in the late Tang Dynasty and was comparable to the Three Kingdoms in Chinese history.

Troubled times.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Empire gradually declined, and now the vassal towns all over the country have maintained their own self-respect. Not long after Pang Xun's rebellion was suppressed, Wang Xianzhi, a private salt dealer, gathered a crowd in Caozhou to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and attacked the city. Soon, Huang Chao, who was also a private salt dealer,

After many failed attempts, he left an anti-poem in Chang'an, the capital: "When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and hundreds of flowers will be killed. The incense from the sky will penetrate Chang'an, and the whole city will be covered with golden armor."

Huang Chao led his brothers to raise troops to respond. Due to the incompetence of the court, the separatism of the heroes, and the successive years of floods and droughts, rogue bandits broke out everywhere. Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao ascended to the top and shouted, and the whole country responded. In a few years, hundreds of thousands of mercenaries were mobilized to fight in the north and south, attacking

The city plundered the land, and the refugees rushed to follow wherever the army passed. As a result, the fields were barren and people died of hunger everywhere. The vassal towns all over the country sent troops to encircle and suppress the army. The war continued and the whole world was in panic.

When Zhu Riguang arrived here, his identity was Zhu Wen, the number one murderer in heaven and the number one evil star of the Five Dynasties. Looking at himself now, Zhu Riguang couldn't relate to that evil star no matter how much he thought about it.

But the place where he lives now is called Dangshan County, Songzhou, in a small village called Wugouli near Mangdang Mountain. His deceased father was called Zhu Cheng, nicknamed "Zhu Wujing", his eldest brother Zhu Yu, his second brother Zhu Cun, and his mother Wang

Indeed, she was the mother-in-law of a landlord named Liu Chong, and her two brothers also worked as long-term workers in Liu Chong's family.

They said that they used to herd sheep at Liu Chong's house, but later they dishonestly stole things from Wang Yuanwai's house in a neighboring village, and were arrested by the government for questioning. However, because the rogue bandit Huang Chao became so powerful, they were forced to become officers and soldiers and were sent to suppress the bandits.

Riguang doesn't know where Zhu Wen, who was sent to suppress the bandits, is now. Maybe he died in the rebel army long ago. Maybe Huang Chao was defeated and surrendered and became a general. Or maybe he was a deserter as they said. Now

He might be begging for food in some nook and cranny.
To be continued...
