Lu Yuan sat under the eaves of the blue-tiled roof, staring at the raindrops in front of him in a daze.
This is already the third day of traveling again.
Compared to that dark and cold steel room, this place is countless times better.
******************************
Lu Yuan was not bound by deep hatred, so he had to cross the boundary between life and death to seek revenge. Nor was he knocked back to the Tang Dynasty by a garbage truck just because he ate barbecue.
Lu Yuan couldn't accept the fact that a thirty-year-old man suddenly turned into a pink boy of six or seven years old, and his appearance was very different from when he was a child.
But after a few days, he finally became content with the situation and no longer thought about it too much. This place is better than that iron coffin.
In that era when he traveled back in time, his parents had passed away and his wife was getting divorced. I really couldn't say that I was worried about him. The only things I'm unhappy about are bank deposits and stock market stocks. I think with my wife's shrewdness, it won't be a problem to handle some formalities.
Speaking of this new body, Lu Yuan also thought about it carefully. Let’s talk about his appearance first. He is a child carved in pink and jade, as beautiful as the red child under the Guanyin Seat. What's more, this body is only six or seven years old, but its quality is surprisingly good. His body is flexible and he has the strength of an adult, and he can lift half of the stone millstone beside the well, which makes him feel at ease.
When Lu Yuan just woke up, he was wearing clothes made of silk, with a safe golden lock around his neck and a jade pendant on his waist. There were no rough calluses on his hands from work, and there was not even a scratch on his body. Obviously He is a child of a wealthy family.
However, this child woke up alone on the edge of the ditch, all wet and covered in water plants and fallen leaves. It was obvious that he had been washed down after falling into the water.
It can't help but make people suspicious.
After all, Lu Yuan is an adult mentally. When he can't judge the situation before and after, he doesn't dare to make any judgments. It's better to be cautious.
On the other side of the ditch, through the bushes, dense human settlements can be seen far along the road, and there is a large town ahead. There are also some sparse farmhouses on the roadside.
It was hard to avoid being surprised when I saw passers-by wearing ancient clothes.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan was a very calm person. He first stole a pair of clothes at the farmhouse and changed into them, then buried his silk clothes in the mud. Then he rolled on the ground twice, then ran around wildly while holding a stick and making gestures, just like a country urchin.
A beautiful little boy who is alone outside is most afraid of being kidnapped. This kind of thing is forbidden even in modern times. In modern abductions, most children will be sold to others as sons, or become "disabled" beggars, which is a tragic and heartbreaking experience.
Now in ancient times, the experience is even more terrifying, because there is still an evil thing called "Skinny Horse". If he was sold to Qinlou Chu Hall and trained to become a husband, Lu Yuan would feel that life would be worse than death.
Now that he has a lot of natural strength, Lu Yuan has some confidence. It is not a problem to knock down one or two big men by surprise.
His face and body were all dirty and ugly. Lu Yuan was holding a wooden stick, shouting and playing, which attracted a few urchins to come and have fun together. But his eyes were always fixed on the river channel and the way he came from. Unexpectedly, from morning till night, no one came along the ditch to look for him!
Lu Yuan is an adult, so of course he thinks more.
If a wealthy family lost a boy, they would search like crazy. In ancient times, many people would stare at a child with his status. It is impossible for such a child to fall into the water without any clues. It is only natural to search for him along the ditch. Now that most of the day has passed, except for the pedestrians coming and going on the road, there is no one at all, and things have become unusual.
He was even more afraid to show up casually, and even suppressed the matter of digging out silk and satin clothes to compensate the farmer who had lost the clothes. Acting rashly will only bring trouble to others.
Seeing that it was already getting late and it was probably more dangerous to sleep in the wild, Lu Yuan followed a passing caravan at random, slipped through the city gate, and entered the big town.
*********************
For three days, I carefully inquired, but still found nothing about the identity of my body.
I know quite a bit about the era I live in.
Today is the Yuan Dynasty, the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty.
Lu Yuan couldn't figure out the chronology, but nearly seventy years had passed since Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty.
Counting from Kublai Khan in the Yuan Dynasty, the national destiny will be less than a hundred years old! Nearly seventy years have passed, which means that in another thirty years, the Ming Dynasty will destroy the Yuan Dynasty.
Hearing this, Lu Yuan was also confused. They all said that they traveled through time and space. Could this be asking me to start the rhythm of the hegemony stream? Am I going to join Chang Yuchun and Zhu Yuanzhang? Or should you pull the lever and go it alone and become emperor in the future? It turns out that he thought too much...
As for the big town now, ahem, it is actually a city, and it is very famous - Lin'an.
That's right, this is not the Lin'an of modern Lin'an County.
This was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, the place where "the warm wind made tourists drunk and mistakenly called Hangzhou Bianzhou". The Lin'an was originally named Hangzhou and then renamed "Lin'an".
It's just that today's Lin'an no longer looks like the capital of the Southern Dynasties. Due to the brutal rule of the Yuan people, Lin'an, which was originally the capital, was particularly brutal. Nine out of ten houses in the city were empty, and residents fled to other places. The prosperity of Lin'an for centuries was no longer visible.
*************************
Lu Yuan clapped his hands to disperse the water drops on his palms.
While no one was passing by in the alley, Lu Yuan rushed out of the porch, jumped up and pressed lightly on the top of the courtyard wall, then jumped over nimbly. Now that the body has adapted, the child's light body and supernatural power can climb over walls as if flying over eaves.
This is an abandoned courtyard, with blue bricks and tiles, a mountain view in the front and a winding corridor in the back. It was obvious that it was an official's house in the past. But now the yard is knee-deep in weeds, and the room smells of damp and decay inside and outside. It has been abandoned for a long time.
There are many courtyards like this in Lin'an, most of which were the former residences of Southern Song Dynasty officials.
After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, most Mongolians lived north of the Yellow River. The south had lots of rain and many rivers, so Mongolians on horseback were not willing to come.
After the Yuan people took over Lin'an, they only sent an idle prince to guard it. A few Yuan people living in the city divided up the palaces and the like to live in, while other Han officials were demoted to a lower level and lived in the houses of prime ministers and the like for good luck. As for the remaining houses of ordinary officials, the descendants of the original owners did not dare to come back to claim them, businessmen did not dare to buy them for fear of being stabbed in the back, and beggars and thieves were afraid of the officials and did not dare to live there, so they abandoned them there.
Lu Yuan did not have the natural fear of officials that ordinary people had. When I passed by on the first day, I found a remote courtyard to stay. This place has been visited countless times by thieves, and even the more valuable furniture, carvings on doors and windows, etc. have been stolen. Lu Yuan also rummaged for a long time before finding some bedding and clothes used by servants.
I made a fire with scraps of wood, took out the stolen buns and roasted them on the fire. Looking at the continuous rain outside the window, I couldn't help but feel dazed.
The wealthy people who found their own bodies and lived the life of playboys who had sex in the morning and sex in the evening, obviously had no hope.
After thinking about it, I decided to find some work. The only way to survive in this "prosperous" big town is now.
Although the countryside may be safer, those months of being so lonely that he was driven to madness really made him feel intimate whenever he saw a living person now.
