Huang Xiao pushed open the courtyard door and took a quick look, and was stunned again.
However, after experiencing these weird things, his psychological quality became much stronger, and he quickly closed the door behind his back and walked in.
The yard is many times larger than the ancestral house. The yard alone is much larger than the entire previous house, but other than that, the entire layout is completely different.
There are seven rooms in the middle. The hall in the middle was originally the layout of a pharmacy. Against the wall is a row of wooden cabinets. Although they are a little far apart, Huang Xiao knows that those wooden cabinets composed of drawers must be medicine cabinets. , in front of the medicine cabinet, there is a counter...
There was another small courtyard behind the house, which seemed to be the inner chamber, but he didn't want to go in for a while.
In the yard, the original utility room on the right now seems to be the kitchen, and next to the kitchen is the washroom.
Directly opposite these two rooms, there are also two houses, and I don't know what they are used for.
There was another small house near the courtyard gate. Huang Xiao glanced at it and knew that this was the concierge.
However, this courtyard was quiet, as if no one had lived there for a long time.
Huang Xiao walked quickly around.
All the modern stuff is gone, nothing modern!
Very evil!
Huang Xiao opened the courtyard door again, and it was still ancient times outside.
Close with backhand. The hospital still has the layout of a pharmacy.
Open it again, close it again!
…
The white hair and sweat appeared on Huang Xiao's forehead again.
This has been closed a dozen times, all from ancient times!
Is it possible that I can’t go back?
Could it be that he has traveled through time?
However, I clearly went back just now, what's going on?
Although in modern society, Huang Xiao is just an ordinary lower-class person, his quality of life is by no means comparable to that of ancient times when people were short of food and clothing. What's more, in ancient times, human life was like a piece of grass. Just like just now, if he hadn't had modern Knowledge, I'm afraid now it's all being dragged away to be buried by that bullshit Master Cui.
After Wei Zhongxian and others left, the neighbors and vendors all returned to their respective places. Seeing Huang Xiao standing in the courtyard and repeatedly closing the door, they were all a little curious.
Someone sighed: "Oh! Huang Xiao's stupid disease has happened again. How pitiful!"
Someone said: "Isn't that right? I just saw him talking quite normally and reviving the dead Mr. Cui. I thought Brother Xiao was enlightened. I am really happy for Dr. Huang's family. Are you I don’t know, Doctor Huang is a good man. My youngest son years ago..."
Someone else interrupted and said, "Wait a minute...you said this fool from the Huang family saved the dead? Did you see it with your own eyes? Impossible!"
"How is it impossible? I wasn't the only one who saw it? Let me tell you, at that time, that scene! It was quite..."
When this person talked about what he just said, he was very excited. The more people in the audience, they kept making exclamations, mixed with some echoes.
Yueniang couldn't see Huang Xiao's actions from the side. She heard everyone talking about Huang Xiao's weird behavior and felt a little worried. Seeing that the morning market was about to end, she put away the dishes and walked over.
"Brother Xiao, you..."
Just as he arrived at the door, Huang Xiao opened the door sweating profusely.
Huang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he hadn't paid yet, and couldn't help but said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I... pay early, I owe it for the time being."
Yueniang saw that although Huang Xiao's face was full of embarrassment, his words were logically clear and obviously not as muddled as before. She felt relieved and smiled sweetly, saying: "Compared to Brother Xiao's life-saving grace, this little bit of food is nothing." What? What's more, you helped the slave family drive away that annoying Master Cui! From now on, come here to eat every morning."
Her tone was sincere, and Huang Xiao didn't know how to refuse. In addition, the matter of time travel was not clear yet, so he was not in the mood to say anything.
When Yueniang saw Huang Xiao looking at her blankly, her pretty face turned red, she made a blessing and was about to leave.
Huang Xiao hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Girl, stay here. Is it convenient for me to come in and talk? I... am confused. Please help me."
Regardless of whether you can go back or not, you must at least understand the basic situation of the current era.
Yueniang was dumbfounded and turned her head to look around. She saw someone pointing and her face turned even redder. After all, it was already against etiquette for a girl to talk to a man like this. It would be even more inappropriate to enter his house again. I thought. She wanted to refuse, but thinking that Huang Xiao had helped her so much just now, and the anxiety in Huang Xiao's eyes now, made Yueniang feel even more pity.
She nodded. Huang Xiao was overjoyed and stepped aside.
"I don't seem to know anything. I only know that my name is Huang Xiao. Do you know my situation? Where is this place? And which emperor is he now? What year is it? What month and day is it now..." Huang Xiao couldn't wait. asked in one breath.
Yueniang was startled. She knew that Huang Xiao had always been stupid and stupid, but she didn't expect him to be so stupid!
"Your name is Huang Xiao and your courtesy name is Boda. Your Huang family has always made a living by hanging pots to help the world. You are the only son in the family. Your mother died young. Your father, Dr. Huang, passed away a few days ago, and all the servants in the family have dispersed... The neighbors all call you Brother Xiao..."
It turns out that Huang Xiao and Huang Xiao have almost the same family background. Both mothers died early and their fathers died again. Their fathers also have the same occupation. The difference is that Huang Xiao’s father is just a barefoot doctor. Since he has no medical qualifications, he has to work in farming. Doing odd jobs, Huang Xiao's father is a famous doctor in Chaoyangmen area.
Huang Xiao has been stupid since he was born, as if he was suffering from soul separation syndrome. He always stays at home and doesn't talk. He rarely goes out a few times a year. Even when he goes out, it is quiet and no noise. Noisy, just like a wooden man.
Yueniang was still worried about Huang Xiao's face, so she didn't say anything clearly. For example, he ate breakfast at her stall every day, but he never talked to her, let alone paid. She didn't seem to know. This is the case.
However, when Huang Xiao's father was around, he always gave her a sum of money a month and did not treat Yueniang badly. However, since Huang's father passed away last week, no one has paid money to Huang Xiao anymore. Fortunately, Yueniang is kind-hearted. She didn't care about these things, and naturally she wouldn't mention them when she talked about them now.
"Today is May 22nd. This is the East Fourth Pailou Street in the capital. Didn't you see? To the west is Chaoyang Gate, and three miles further is the Imperial Palace. Your Majesty is the Emperor of Tianqi. He has been on the throne for...five years, yes. It’s five years! The slave family remembers..."
It’s actually the Ming Dynasty! Ming Dynasty in the fifth year of the Apocalypse! The Ming Dynasty of the Carpenter Emperor! It seems that the Carpenter Emperor died within two years, followed by Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who took more than ten years, right? Ming Dynasty is gone?
Huang Xiao usually doesn't pay attention to these things. He has almost forgotten the history of studying and studying. He remembers some roughly, but not the details at all. People who are running around for life, why do they remember these things when they have nothing to do?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. If he had known that he would travel to the late Ming Dynasty, he would not be able to figure out the historical context, as well as the common skills in time travel novels, such as making wine, making glass, making guns, making cannons, making perfume... …Wait until Goldfinger learns it very well.
Huang Xiao listened quietly, but Yueniang's talk about sex became more and more intense.
She usually just runs a food stall to make ends meet, has no close friends, and has no one around her to talk to, but now she tells Huang Xiao all her troubles and other reasons.
It turns out that Yueniang's full name is Lin Yue'er. She is sixteen years old this year and her hometown is Henan. Last year, her family of four fled famine to the capital. Her parents died just after arriving in the capital, leaving Yueniang and a seven-year-old son Lin Hu behind.
It was not easy in the capital, but fortunately Yueniang was good at cooking, and when she arrived in the capital, she still had a few taels of silver in her hands, so she ran a food stall next to Huang Xiao's house, and she could barely make ends meet.
A few days ago, Master Cui's subordinate Wang Da saw Lin Yue'er's appearance and immediately reported it to Master Cui. Master Cui then came over to take a look and was immediately shocked. So he continued to pester here for several days, and even dropped his words. He came and said he wanted Lin Yue'er to be his concubine.
According to Lin Yue'er, Master Cui has a very bad reputation. He is domineering in the capital and has ruined the innocence of many daughters of good families. His father is the number one lackey of the eunuchs and has overwhelming power. Therefore, although Lin Yue'er I really don’t like dealing with Master Cui, but there is nothing I can do about it. If it hadn’t happened today, I probably would have had no choice but to let Master Cui do whatever he wanted.
When Lin Yue'er said this, she suddenly realized that these words were inconvenient to tell others. On a whim, she actually talked for more than half an hour and left in a hurry.
Huang Xiao sent him out, looking at the low houses on both sides of the street and the pedestrians in tattered clothes. He felt confused. Could he just live in this doomsday Ming Dynasty? But I was completely unprepared, how could I live like this?
No, I want to go back to 2023!
Huang Xiao screamed in his heart, closed his eyes, and pushed open the courtyard door violently.
At just one glance, his face showed a look of ecstasy!
He actually came back again, and even the dilapidated 28-year-old bicycle in the yard was so kind to him at this moment.
