It's getting late, and with the dim light before sunset, you can vaguely see the smoke from cooking fires not far away slowly rising into the sky, blending into the coming night.
It is a county town with intertwined buildings and forests. Mi County is located in the Central Plains, with fertile land and close to the Sishui River. The people here live a good life. Of course, good life is just a matter of life.
Withdrawing his gaze, Zheng Ze tightened the belt around his waist. Feeling the tight feeling of something hard coming from his right waist, he slowly exhaled.
However, even with something stuffed in his waist and wearing light armor, there was nothing unusual about his small movements like walking.
Suddenly, a heavy palm slapped his shoulder. Zheng Ze just turned around, and a round face full of beards came into view. The person who came was just like him, wearing the same type of light armor. But the armor was
A half-open and half-understood state.
Seeing the person, Zheng Ze put a smile on his face and said softly: "Uncle Lin?"
The middle-aged man whom he called Uncle Lin smiled kindly when he heard this. However, his face did not seem suitable to be described as kind, making it difficult for him to express the emotions he wanted to express at this moment.
"Ozawa, why did you run so fast just after you were on duty? Now that the new centenarian talents are coming, we need to be more careful in our work."
Zheng Ze knew in his heart that this was a reminder from the person in front of him, so he just nodded immediately and didn't say much. Talking too much would be wrong, and he didn't want to expose his secrets with inappropriate words.
While talking, the two of them walked side by side towards the county seat not far away. Their destination was the same direction. In the past, when they went on duty together, they often returned home together.
"By the way, you entered the secret cell without permission a few days ago. You were still unconscious when I dragged you out. Have you noticed any injuries on your body in the past few days?" Suddenly, Uncle Lin asked. There was concern in his eyes.
It doesn't look like a fake either.
Hearing this, Zheng Ze shook his head, "In the secret prison, the demon girl has long been locked by the crystal cage. Even if there are some strange methods, it is difficult to hurt people's lives." He said slowly, changing his voice, "But it still needs to be done.
Thank you Uncle Lin for discovering it early and providing rescue, otherwise... no one knows what would have happened."
At the end of the sentence, lingering fear flashed in Zheng Ze's eyes, as if he recalled something terrible.
Seeing this, Uncle Lin chuckled and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "It's okay. It's okay. When I took office, the centenarian gave a strict order not to allow us to approach the secret prison. Naturally, it was not without purpose. Those monsters...
Even if you are powerful, you are not locked up inside." He shook his head, "But you have to remember the lesson and not do it again. Otherwise, even if you come out safely, you will not be able to escape the punishment in the military."
Zheng Ze nodded. He knew the meaning of Uncle Lin's words. However, feeling the closeness in his words, he still sighed in his heart.
In fact, Zheng Ze is already dead.
When he couldn't help but be curious and entered the secret cell without permission to see the prisoner's legendary face, he was destined to have a hard time getting out alive.
The person walking next to Uncle Lin now was just an ordinary time traveler. Before that, he was just an ordinary college student Zheng Ze on the blue planet.
Seeing that the house in front of him had begun to show its signs, and he was about to arrive home, Uncle Lin suddenly said, "Oze, it's almost dark today. It's inconvenient for you to go back alone. Why don't you go to my house to eat ready-made food? Last time the fragrance was still delicious
Ask me when you will come again!"
Listening to the words of the burly man next to him, Zheng Ze couldn't help but picture a figure who was even burlier than Uncle Lin. He took a deep breath and knew that this man was determined to evolve the relationship between the two of them from colleagues to son-in-law. But this
This blessing may be difficult for him to bear.
He immediately said a few words casually, then turned around and walked towards his home.
Looking at the back of Zheng Ze returning home, Uncle Lin stood there for a long time, sighed, shook his head and left in the other direction.
There are no city walls in Mi County, but there are many houses built together. In addition to residences, some farms, government offices, and military camps are all mixed in, making it very chaotic.
On the outskirts of the residential complex, his house is made of some wood and earth blocks. It occupies a small area and is just suitable for him to live alone. If there is another person in the family, it will seem a bit crowded.
After checking that the door lock showed no signs of being tampered with, Zheng Ze quietly sat at the table next to the bed after eating rough cakes with raw water.
This table is made of stones, and the top is not flat. On the table at this moment, Zheng Ze has a wooden doll on his left and a stack of letters on his right.
He first looked at the pile of letterheads, which were all engraved on pieces of wood. These were all sent by his predecessor's brother.
If he remembers correctly, this predecessor is exactly sixteen years old this year. He has no impression of his parents in his memory. He has grown up dependent on his brother since he was a child, and it was his brother who took care of him when he grew up. Until the year when he was nine years old, his brother suddenly
He told him that he was going to the south to do business, and then completely disappeared before his eyes.
After that, the basis for Zheng Ze to confirm that his brother was still alive was the letters in front of him. The time intervals between the pieces of wood brought by the trustee were variable. Sometimes it was two months, sometimes it was three months. The longest one was
half a year.
The person who sent it each time was different. In addition to these wood chips, there was also some money. It was not much, but plus Zheng Ze's own salary, it was enough to make him live much better than ordinary people.
It is worth mentioning that the military service he is currently receiving was obtained by following the instructions in his brother's letter.
In these letters, in addition to telling Zheng Ze to take good care of himself at the beginning, he later taught him how to behave in the world. According to his instructions, his predecessor would quietly give himself Shangguan a sum of money every month. It was not much, but every time
Available every month.
This is probably why the last time he sneaked into the prison and was discovered, he was only scolded a few times and not punished.
But it's a pity that the centenarian was transferred away two days ago, and the current Shangguan was promoted from the original deputy general.
My thoughts returned to the letter on the table. In the end, the last piece of wood that was delivered did not mention any more things to pay attention to in life. Instead, it said that he was already sixteen, not young anymore, and it was time to start a family. This year it was time to start a family.
When looking for a good girl, you don’t want to be beautiful but want to be virtuous and so on.
At the end, he also mentioned that if you find someone, you can tell the messenger here and he will prepare the bride price.
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Ze didn't think according to his original thinking. This brother seemed to be doing well, so why didn't he take him to live a good life with him?
According to his current understanding, judging from the behavior of his cheap brother, he is probably not doing a serious business. However, judging from the current situation, he is not suitable to contact people who are close relatives of the original person, even though he has gone through
It took a few days to get used to it, even though the two brothers hadn't seen each other for several years.
He still kept a respectful distance from this mysterious "brother".
After reading the contents on the wood chips again and confirming that he had memorized all the important contents, Zheng Ze threw them all into the brazier and watched the flames lick the wood chips and burn them.
It didn't mean anything else. It was mentioned on the wood chips that were originally delivered that they would be destroyed after reading them. It's just that the original Zheng Ze was reluctant to part with them.
Putting these things in such a simple home is not safe if someone with ulterior motives notices them.
Immediately, Zheng Ze turned his attention to the wooden doll on the other side and reached out to pick it up. The weight in his hand was very light, as if it was made of cotton. But the touch on his hand was very strange.
It was as cold as some kind of metal. In addition, Zheng Ze also found that it was very hard.
He kept this thing stuffed around his waist and didn't let anyone notice it.
Before he came to this world, he had done nothing. He was sitting in front of the computer watching a TV show. Suddenly the screen went black and this puppet appeared on the screen.
The black background and weird light almost scared Zheng Ze to death. At that time, he felt that the wooden idol was staring at him like a ghost. Then his eyes blurred and he felt severe pain in his chest. When he lowered his head, he saw a sword stuck in his heart.
, gave myself a chill.
Then he lay on the ground, and the scene around him changed. The moist and dark air poured into his chest. The most eye-catching thing was the huge square blue crystal in the center of the cell... and the figure in the crystal, that beautiful face.
There was a weird smile on his face.
What's even weirder is that he was holding the puppet in his hand for some reason at that time, and the blood he shed seemed to be drawn towards it, and then disappeared from its body.
The sword stuck in his chest actually pulled out on its own and fell to his side.
With that crisp sound, he fell into coma.
When he woke up, he had been sent home. There were no signs of heartache on his body, but he was extremely weak.
Zheng Ze was extremely convinced that this thing was definitely related to his time travel. At this moment, his attention was on the puppet.
By the light of the fire next to it, I could see the four characters "coins twelve" flowing on the puppet's body.
The day before yesterday, it was still "one or two coins." After hesitating for a long time, Zheng Ze placed the Korean coins that his predecessor had saved for a long time next to the puppet, and saw with his own eyes that the puppet swallowed all the coins.
Then all the weakness in his body dissipated. In the past two days, he felt energetic. He clearly felt the effect of being strengthened. The quality of his body was almost up to the average level in the military.
Until now, he has not figured out what this weird thing is, but one thing he knows very well is that this thing is definitely the foundation for him to settle down in this world!
Without it, the world would be too dangerous.
However, he has complicated feelings about this dangerous world. There are seven kingdoms here, but it is not the Warring States Period that he has learned from the history books. There are hundreds of kingdoms here, but the way they argue seems to be with swords in their hands.
These are not important. In the glance before he fell into coma, he saw the person locked in the blue crystal, the incredibly beautiful person...
"Yan Lingji..." Zheng Ze murmured to himself.
Here, it is clearly the bright moon of the Qin Dynasty and the nine songs of heaven.
