Chapter 8: Take in

Views:

Twenty-seven asked: "With what Miss Ruan knows about 'travel', can I still go back to my original world?"

"How could I possibly know?" Ruan Qing said, "I'm just an ordinary person, and I bumped into you by fate. Such supernatural things cannot be explained by science."

She paused and lowered her voice: "But this kind of thing may not happen once in a lifetime..."

It is a small probability event, and it is a miracle if it happens even once. A return ticket is unlikely.

Twenty-seven understood what she meant.

He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly breathed out: "That's fine, if you can't go back, then you can't go back."

Ruan Qing: "..."

Is this some sort of relief literature? Ruan Qing couldn't help but say: "Well, the relatives over there and so on..."

"I have no relatives." Twenty-seven said, "I am alone, with no relatives or friends, and I am always looking for a living wherever I go."

After he finished speaking, his expression suddenly froze.

"In short, today's era is completely different from your era." She said, "Not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of morality and ethics. You will have to slowly adapt to these in the future."

Can you speak human language

Why is twenty-seven the age to be a grandfather

I really want to hit someone!

"You are still young. In our society, as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded and make money." Ruan Qing comforted him and asked, "By the way, how old are you?"

In particular, there is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows and eyes. This is what Ruan Qing likes. Too many boys these days are coquettish and coquettish, which does not fit Ruan Qing's taste. For this purpose, she specially found a sports student.

Ruan Qing: "..."

Ruan Qing was startled and touched the small bag on the back of his head. After all, someone who has read hundreds of ancient novels knows it very well. She suddenly came to her senses and said angrily: "This is not a woman's hair! This is called a ball hair! We can wear whatever hairstyle we want here, married people No hairstyle for unmarried people!"

"Unmarried!" She emphasized, patting the sofa, "I'm not married yet!"

Ruan Qing took a breath and said, "Don't say that in the future. It will offend people. People in our era don't like to say they are old. Everyone likes to say they are young. I am about the same age as you, and I still think I am a little girl."

He had such a good attitude, but Ruan Qing was a little embarrassed. After all, there are differences between ancient and modern cultures, so I still overreacted a bit.

In fact, Nian Qi was a little surprised because he thought Ruan Qing was at least four or five years younger than him. She didn't look like someone his age.

"Ashamed, I have wasted a lot of time. I am already at the age when I should be a grandfather." Twenty-seven said, "It suits my name. I am twenty-seven this year."

Ruan Qing asked cautiously: "What's wrong?"

As he said that, he saw that Twenty-seven's eyes were slightly raised, looking at the top of his head.

He looks quite young.

Gold, fat, jade, pearls and emeralds, all the money I have saved for half my life was exchanged for my life. Now it's all gone.

Twenty-seven coughed and apologized: "I'm offended."

When Ruan Qing was in the hospital, he was only thinking about time travel, but he didn't really care about his appearance. Now I feel at ease in my own home. If you look carefully, you can see that the young man in front of you has beautiful eyebrows and a straight nose.

The first half of my life was spent in vain, how could I not feel regretful.

I have long thought about it. When the golden basin is washed away in the future, I will find a prosperous city, buy a house, keep some slaves, marry a wife and have some children, live in a lively and stable life.

She is the same age as Twenty-Seven! But think about the ancient times when they got married and had children in the 15th and 16th centuries. Think about the fact that when Kangxi was fifteen years old, a concubine under the age of thirteen gave birth to a son for him. Ancient people did have grandparents by the age of thirty.

"It's okay, I just suddenly remembered," Twenty-seven said gloomily, "Half of my life savings is left over there and I can't bring it back..."

Twenty-seven nodded and asked, "Do you have any suggestions for Miss Ruan in the future?"

"Suggestion... I guess I have it." Ruan Qing said, "The biggest problem you have now is that you have no identity, but this is too difficult. My mind was in a mess tonight and I haven't thought about it yet. Now in the second-generation ID card If you have a chip, you can't make a fake one on the street like the first generation. Without an ID card, it's really difficult to move around. You can't take trains or planes, you can't open a bank account, you can't use electronic payments..."

"Since we can't solve it at the moment." Twenty-seven said, "Let's put it aside for now, don't be in a hurry."

Ruan Qing was convinced: "You are really calm."

Were all the ancients mentally so strong? Or is it just him

She glanced at the long knife lying across the coffee table, turned back, and became serious: "Slowly figure out the identity matter, and I must warn you seriously about the other matter."

Twenty-seven straightened her back slightly.

"That," Ruan Qing pointed to the long knife on the coffee table, "I won't give it back to you for the time being."

"I won't ask you what you did before, or what you did before. You traveled a thousand years and came here. It's a brand new world, starting from scratch. What happened in the past is in the past."

"But the place you live in now is a society ruled by law." Ruan Qing said seriously, "The police here have more methods and capabilities than you imagine, and the dignity of the law cannot be trampled on."

"A thousand years ago you could take a knife on the street, but not now. A thousand years ago you could swing a knife to kill a bandit in the wilderness, but now you can only choose to call the police."

"In short, you are now in the world a thousand years later. If you want to survive well, you must remember four words-"

Ruan Qing stretched out his hand and plucked it finger by finger: "Obey, discipline, and law!"

She stared straight at Twenty-Seven. Twenty-seven stared at her white and slender fingers in deep thought. After a moment, he raised his eyes and smiled, feeling a little relaxed: "It's natural, do as the Romans do, abide by the laws. What can be done and what can't be done? Please give me more advice in the future." .

This person is really calm.

"Well..." Ruan Qing clasped his hands together, but didn't know what to say. He smacked his lips and said, "That's all I can think of now. There are so many things you need to know. Let's start slowly tomorrow. Let me tell you."

She said, "It's fate that you met me. As for you, you have no identity, no place to live, and no money. You can stay with me before you can stand on your own."

It also makes it easier for her to observe an ancient person up close.

Raising ancient people is exciting just thinking about it!

As for the safety issue between men and women - please, you suddenly find that you have traveled through a thousand years, and there are new things every day, and you probably won't be able to get over it for a few months.

Moreover, the interests and risks have been explained to him just now. He seems to be a very clear-headed adult. Faced with the only person in front of him who knows his secret and can help him, he probably won't have any messy thoughts.

Human needs are hierarchical, and the first thing he faces now is survival.

"That's it for now, you stay here first." Ruan Qing looked around, "Uh... I only have one bedroom here, so you can only sleep on the sofa first. Oh, this is the sofa."

She patted the sofa to indicate.

The house she lives in now has two bedrooms, but one room is her study and studio, and only one room is used as a bedroom.

"I can only make do with it for now," she said, "I'll slowly think of a solution."

"I'm very grateful to have a place to stay." Twenty-seventy set out on the road with a very upright attitude. He looked around and asked, "Has Ms. Ruan's family already rested?"

I asked this deliberately because Ruan Qing said just now that she only had one bedroom here, and in fact, from the moment she entered the door, Twenty-seven knew that there was no one else in the whole house except the two of them. If so, unless that person is a master of breath control, it is impossible for him to not notice the presence of others at all.

This makes Nian Qiwei confused - how can a young woman live alone

And she also claimed that she was unmarried.

Hence this question.

Ruan Qing, a fan of ancient novels, knows very well what this ancient man was thinking. No matter how calm you are, there are still limitations of the times after all!

Ruan Qing raised his finger: "The first lesson in understanding the world a thousand years from now—"

"One, there is no emperor in this world."

"Two, there are no slaves, everyone is equal. If you need others to work for you, you can only hire, not buy or sell. Human trafficking is a crime."

"Third, men and women are equal. There are no three wives or four concubines, only one husband and one wife. Men and women receive education equally, study and study equally, and work and earn money equally."

Ruan Qing found some sense of superiority as a modern person in one night: "Based on Article 3, so I, an adult woman, have received higher education, have a job, and can make money to support myself, so I can live independently. The father does not live in the husband's home."

Sure enough, these few were thrown out and exploded into twenty-seven.

This young man, who had been calm even though he knew he had traveled through time and space, finally showed a confused look on his face.

"There is no emperor? How can there be no emperor?"

These words were completely predicted by Ruan Qing!

I knew that an ancient person would definitely ask this kind of soul question.

You can't live without the emperor, right

Ruan Qing showed a confused smile: "This problem is too complicated. I have a work meeting to hold tomorrow morning and I have to get up early. It's already too late today. I'll explain it to you slowly tomorrow."

She stood up and said, "Come with me and wash yourself a little before going to bed."

Twenty-seven's body was covered in sweat, blood, and mud. Only the wound area had been cleaned by the nurse, and the rest of the body stank.

Ruan Qing took him to the bathroom: "This is the bathroom, where you wash your face, brush your teeth, take a bath, and go to the toilet to relieve yourself."

Twenty-seven looked up and down. Although the room was small, it was very clean. It was said to be a place to relieve oneself, but there was no smell at all.

He was about to ask where the water tank was, where the basin was, and to get some water to wash his face, when Ruan Qing had already reached out and turned on the faucet.

Water gushes out.

"This is called tap water." Ruan Qing said, "As soon as you turn on the faucet, the water will flow out by itself."

Twenty-seven stared at the clean flowing tap water for a long time.

"A thousand years," he said.

"Yes." Ruan Qing turned off the faucet and said softly, "A thousand years."
