In the evening, Ren Baqian sat with a man and a woman at a roadside food stall.
The man was wearing a blue half-sleeve shirt and jeans. He looked handsome. He was Ren Baqian's only friend, Chen Qing.
Ren Baqian sometimes wondered how he and Chen Qing became friends. I come from an ordinary background, my personality is a little selfish, indifferent, and I have no energy to do anything. I have been working in a small company for a year after graduation, with a meager salary.
On the other hand, Chen Qing is completely opposite to himself. His family is rich, he is also sunny and handsome, and he is extremely sophisticated in speaking and doing things. He is the center of people wherever he goes, and he is the envy of others. Now that he has obtained his lawyer's license and is doing an internship in a law firm, he is not far from becoming a full-time lawyer, and has a bright future ahead.
It can be said that no matter how you look at it, they are two people who are completely incompatible.
However, Chen Qing saw Ren Baqian as a match, and after meeting him twice, he became friends.
According to Chen Qing's words, Ren Baqian was very similar to himself, they both stood apart from the crowd.
However, Ren Baqian felt that he really couldn't fit into other people's circle, so he stood outside alone.
Chen Qing, on the other hand, was able to move around in that circle with ease, and then pulled away to watch other people's performances.
The nature of the two is completely different, but they became friends.
Also a strange thing.
Another woman in a long skirt, a demure and elegant woman named Jiang Nan, is Chen Qing's girlfriend. His appearance is not so outstanding, he is above average, and he is also a very strange person.
Chen Qing is a sunny and handsome guy with a lot of money. He often hangs around nightclubs, and he is always surrounded by different girls every day. However, this only real girlfriend who has been together for nine years doesn't mind him lingering in the flowers, but the relationship between the two is very good.
What surprised Ren Baqian the most was that Chen Qing had a room with a different girl every day, but he had never slept with this real girlfriend.
According to his words after drinking once, the most delicious fruit is always picked and tasted last.
Perhaps this is why Jiangnan has always been indifferent to what he did. She knew that everyone else was passing by, and she was the only one who married Chen Qing in the end.
This is a smart woman. Ren Baqian also felt that she was a strange person.
"Why did you disappear a few days ago? I went to your company to look for you, and your colleagues didn't even know where you were. It's hard to imagine that someone like you would suddenly disappear without saying hello." Chen Qing drank Beer, while asking Ren Baqian.
The voice was very flat, but Ren Baqian could hear a faint concern from it.
He knew that if he had anything to do, this guy would definitely help.
However, no one can do anything about the problem I am encountering now.
"It's hard to say." Ren Baqian sighed. "Escape from death!"
"Tell me?" Chen Qing asked.
Jiang Nan also showed a listening expression.
"Forget it, don't talk about it, it's too troublesome." Ren Baqian shook his head, the things in that world couldn't be explained.
"Let me tell you, there are some things that need to be grasped. Only when you face death will you know how much you have missed." Ren Baqian pointed out.
Chen Qing smiled, grabbed Jiang Nan's hand, and then said: "It seems that you have really experienced something, and you actually expressed such emotion."
Ren Baqian nodded approvingly.
The three of them were halfway through drinking, and Ren Baqian suddenly said: "Recently, I have seen a lot of farmers who traveled through the Tang Dynasty. If a person really traveled through time, what kind of knowledge or expertise would be most useful?"
"Culinary skills, I guarantee that I won't starve to death, and I can still find a job." Chen Qing blurted out, and then laughed.
Then he said solemnly: "In fact, depending on where you are and what position you are in, the knowledge you can use is different. But in general, things related to people's livelihood are the most useful. Simply put, it is related to food. Whether it is farming It’s still cooking, which can be used everywhere. There was no patent protection in that era, otherwise improving farm tools would be an easy way to make a fortune.”
Ren Baqian agrees with this statement very much, as he thinks the same.
"Then what is the most useful thing for the superiors? For example, what is useful for the emperor?" Ren Baqian asked again.
"That's too much. The emperor is the lord of a country, and everything is available to him. However, if you combine the problem just now, there are actually two types. One is internal, or it is related to agriculture. The other kind is external, and in simple terms, it is related to the military, such as the cement used for building. As for the others, it is difficult for ordinary people to do."
Ren Baqian nodded again, and asked the last question: "What would Wu Zetian like?"
This time it was not Chen Qing who answered, but Jiang Nan. The words are soft and soft, not at all like a girl from the Northeast.
"A caring person, a strong arm. As long as a woman wants these things. It's just that she is in a position. What these two kinds of ordinary women want most is the hardest thing for her to get."
After hearing Jiangnan's answer, Ren Baqian shuddered when he thought about the woman in red she saw at that time. It's really hard to imagine that a woman can cuddle like a bird in a man's arms.
I am afraid that most of the time, I will say "cut it" without the slightest emotion.
"Why, are you planning for time travel?" Chen Qing laughed.
Ren Baqian nodded seriously: "Yes."
After several people finished their meal, Jiang Nan said softly before parting: "Our company is recruiting people recently, if you want to change jobs, you can consider it."
Ren Baqian knew that she was trying to save face for herself, since she had been missing for so long, she would definitely lose her job, so she would know. He smiled and said, "I want to rest for a while before looking for a job. If there is no suitable place, I will ask for help."
The most important question now is to find out how I got to that world and how I got back.
Can't find the reason, how can he have the mind to go to work
You may not be able to come back when you go through it again.
For the next two days, Ren Baqian stayed in his room.
Searching for the reason for the time travel failed, so I looked online for knowledge about agriculture and drawings of farming equipment.
In case of going to that world again, these things should be of some use.
During the period, Ren Baqian also received an email from Chen Qing. After opening it, there was a long form, a comparison of some common knowledge and some corresponding knowledge in the Tang Dynasty, and a long list of books.
There is another sentence at the end: "If you really time travel, remember to bring these books."
Ren Baqian laughed when he saw half of it. Obviously no matter who heard it as a joke, he was so serious.
Save that book list, Ren Baqian is going to buy some interested books tomorrow and come back to read them.
However, in his sleep, he was awakened by the cold.
When I was still in a daze, I felt that the surrounding situation was different.
There was still a mattress under Ren Baqian, but at this moment he felt very cold. In this season, it would be nice to be a little cooler at night, and it will never reach the point of being cold.
When I opened my eyes, it was dark all around.
He reached out to touch the mattress, and then touched the surroundings. Instead of touching the edge of the bed, he touched rough and uneven stones.
"This is... a prison cell?" Ren Baqian was at a loss.
After searching carefully, I also found the ventilation window with a height of 20 centimeters and a width of one meter. There was a faint light outside.
I have returned to this world again!
Ren Baqian's heart skipped a beat, and he was completely awake.
