In his sleepy state, Niu Yuanping heard gusts of wind blowing through the window.
This woke him up.
In fact, it was because I felt a little urgent to urinate and I was suffocated to wake up.
Niu Yuanping opened his eyes and prepared to go to the hut. He also drank some water and then came back to sleep.
The "thatched room" was at the base of the wall not far from the bed. It was said to be a thatched room, but it was actually just a chamber pot.
The room Niu Yuanping lived in was the top floor attic of an inn, and it used to be used to store sundries.
Half a year ago, he was originally a patient with late-stage ALS and traveled to this place called Huangshi Village in Dayan Kingdom in his sleep.
His identity is the waiter of an inn in Huangshizhuang, and his residence is the top floor attic.
This made Niu Yuanping depressed for a while.
When others travel through time, they are either a peerless strongman or a savior who saves the world.
He was good, but he became a waiter.
He has no abilities and no special functions. The only thing that excites him for a while is the so-called supercomputer and human brain biotechnology evolution system version 1.0 under the life restart project, which is referred to as the super brain system. Follow him. We traveled here together.
But unfortunately, the system malfunctioned not long after, and it couldn't do anything, and I didn't know what I asked...
Later, Niu Yuanping lay down, and the waiter became the waiter. At least he was no longer a patient with ALS. In addition, his skin was not ugly, he looked a bit like Brother Hu, which was not bad. He would not worry about getting a wife in the future.
…
The inn was busy during the day, and I wanted to have a good sleep at night. I didn't want to go down to the latrine in the dark, so I prepared a chamber pot at the base of the wall.
At this time, Niu Yuanping got up and relieved his hands, took a drink of water, and hurried to the bed, ready to get under the quilt and continue sleeping.
After sitting back on the bed, he reached out and fiddled with the curtain on the lower porch window, revealing a gap in the curtain.
The loft is on the third floor, and it is easy to overlook the scenery below.
This inn is located next to a bridge.
In order to facilitate the guests who came to stay at night, the boss hung a red lantern on the bridge.
At this time, Niu Yuanping squinted his eyes and looked at the dim light of the lantern under the night.
Although the lantern is not very bright, it still affects sleep for waiters like Niu Yuanping who need to go to bed late and get up early, and may have to greet hotel guests in the middle of the night.
So he spent a lot of money and bought a curtain to hang it up.
But recently Niu Yuanping has a habit of opening the curtains to look at the lanterns. This is actually a boring behavior.
He had seen a pair of lovers making love on the bridge through a lantern before.
Niu Yuanping's current eighteen-year-old body can be considered to be full of vitality, which is the age when hormones are easily stimulated.
It was probably after seeing that scene that he developed this subconscious and boring behavior.
Niu Yuanping glanced at the lantern light, then covered the gap in the curtain and prepared to lie back in bed.
"Huh?……"
But Niu Yuanping, who was just about to cover himself up and continue sleeping, let out a light sigh. Then he sat up again and opened the curtain to look at the bridge.
I saw an old lady standing on the bridge under the dim light of the lantern. There was a cart next to her, and there seemed to be vegetables and other things on the cart.
It seems that this old lady is selling vegetables on the bridge.
Niu Yuanping felt very strange. It should be almost midnight now.
An old lady was selling vegetables alone on the bridge in the middle of the night...
This surprised Niu Yuanping. He said to himself, "Vegetables are being sold at this time...Is anyone buying it?..."
Just like that, I continued to watch for a while. The old lady stood motionless under the lamp on the bridge. Sure enough, no one passed by to buy her food.
Out of curiosity, Niu Yuanping decided to get dressed and go down to have a look.
Maybe it's a guest who needs a place to stay.
…
Soon, he got dressed, put on a coat and went down to the attic.
Fatty Zhao, who was in charge of the night watch on the first floor of the inn, was sleeping soundly on the floor. Niu Yuanping did not disturb him and gently opened the door and went out.
…
When you turn the corner, there is an upward slope, and the bridge is on the top of the slope.
The wind in the early morning was really cold. Niu Yuanping, who had just walked out, couldn't help but tremble. He laughed at himself and said to himself, "I don't know what's wrong with me. I didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran out..."
However, Niu Yuanping thought that since he had come out, he should go to the bridge to see what happened.
Walking up the slope, I saw from a distance the light of a lantern in the middle of the bridge. Under the misty lantern light, the old lady selling vegetables was standing next to her cart.
The old lady was wearing a black cotton coat and trousers, with her waist bent and her hands in her sleeves.
Niu Yuanping walked onto the bridge and stood two or three meters away from the old lady. The wind was a bit strong on the bridge. He gathered his coat, faced the wind, squinted his eyes, and asked the old lady, "Old man, why are you still selling vegetables at this hour?"
The old lady listened to Niu Yuanping's question and turned her face to him.
Because it was dark and windy, although Niu Yuanping tried his best to see the old lady's face clearly, he still couldn't see clearly.
He felt that the old lady seemed to smile, and then he heard her say in an old and hoarse voice, "I am busy during the day, watering the ground and feeding pigs... I only have time at night to earn some pocket money. . This bridge is close to the inn, and people often pass by and walk around at night. It can be sold for a lot of money."
Niu Yuanping said, "Old man, it's already very late. It's better to go home and rest early. The weather is bad today, so no one will buy anything."
The old lady smiled again. : "That's right, I'm planning to go home too."
Niu Yuanping said, "Where do you live? I think I'd better give you a ride."
The old lady took one hand out of her cuff and pointed in a direction to the west, "It's in a village over there. It's very close. No need to bother you to send it away."
Niu Yuanping stepped forward to help the old lady. Perhaps because of the cold weather, he felt that the old lady's body was a little cold.
"No, I have to see you off. It's so late and there's no one on the road. I don't trust you. Come on, I'll take you back."
The old lady said, "Thank you very much, young man, you are so kind."
Niu Yuanping said, "Old man, don't be so polite... Come, you sit on the cart and I push you. It's faster. After seeing you off, I have to come back and sleep a little longer."
The old lady said hello several times and sat down in an empty space on the cart.
Niu Yuanping saw the old lady sitting down and said, "Old man, please hold her steady."
After saying that, he pushed the cart and walked in the direction pointed by the old lady.
After walking for about a stick of incense, we came to a fork in the road. It was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.
Niu Yuanping asked the old lady on the cart, "Old man, what should we do next?"
The old lady didn't answer, but got out of the car. She took out a handful of spinach in the car, walked over to Niu Yuanping and said, "Young man, just send it here." Then she handed the spinach to him and said, "I should have let you come to my house for a drink of tea, but I have no choice. My wife has a bad temper and doesn’t want to meet strangers, so I won’t keep you here. Thank you little brother for sending me back. You can take this order."
Niu Yuanping took the vegetables, then took out two cents from his pocket and gave them to the old lady, saying, "It's not easy for me to grow vegetables. I can't take them for nothing."
Seeing that the old lady was about to refuse, Niu Yuanping was about to leave. As he walked, he said: "I'm leaving. Old man, please go home quickly."
After saying that, without waiting for the old lady to be polite again, Niu Yuanping started to walk back.
But after just a few steps, he realized something was wrong!
Although Niu Yuanping traveled here to work as a waiter for only half a year, he still knew the surrounding areas quite well.
He remembered that there was no village at all in this area!
When he thought of this, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Niu Yuanping's back!
So, he didn't dare to look back and quickly accelerated his pace! In the end, he ran away like crazy.
After running for a cup of tea, I finally returned to the bridge.
But when he ran back to the bridge, Niu Yuanping saw a stone placed on the ground in the middle of the bridge.
Niu Yuanping came closer and looked down at the wet stone. By the light of the lantern, he saw two pennies placed on the stone...
