Chapter 2: Is this really ancient times?!

  Chapter 2: Is this really ancient times?!

  Chen Chu is the kind of person who can easily adapt to any situation. After the initial shock, she quickly calmed down.

  Chen Chu got off the bus and looked around at her surroundings.

  Surrounded by towering mountains, the location he is in now is a small basin surrounded by mountains. Looking up at the sky, what enters his eyes is a clear and transparent blue sky.

  Chen Chu's heart skipped a beat, this clean and azure sky was completely different from the one in his memory. In his memory, the sky was a dull blue-gray color. To see such a clean sky, unless it was in ancient times...!

  Chen Chu suddenly remembered the popular online time-travel literature, could it be that he had inexplicably returned to ancient times!?

  Chen Chu looked around again, and couldn't help but think to herself: "I was clearly driving on the road, but for some reason I saw a flash of white light, and then everything around me changed! It seems that I've probably crossed over! Or maybe I was abandoned in some desolate mountain wilderness! Ah, I hope it's not really crossing over, otherwise how will I spend my days from now on?"

  Chen Chu thought that he might have returned to ancient times and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

  Chen Chu took a deep breath and went to the trunk, taking out those two golden chicken warmers tied together with a woven belt on his back.

  Chen Chu was planning to carry the two medicines out of the mountain forest, you might say that leaving these two things would make it easier to move, but big brother, this is a million boxes of Golden Chicken Cream! Chen Chu didn't dare to leave these things in the wilderness, if possible, Chen Chu wouldn't even want to abandon his car here.

  Chen Chu carried two pieces of Golden Chicken Na Frost in the mountains, he was born with great strength, although carrying two pieces of medicine, it didn't seem to be a big deal.

  At first, Chen Chu looked at the completely primitive scenery around him and still felt fresh, but soon after, he discovered a very serious problem - he was hungry. But where could he go to find food in this desolate mountain wilderness?

  Chen Chu had never been a soldier and had no wilderness survival skills. The only way he could escape the crisis was to get out of the mountains as soon as possible.

  Unconsciously, Chen Chu's pace quickened, but when the sun was about to set, he hadn't even seen a single household, let alone walked out of the mountain forest. Chen Chu couldn't help but feel a little tense.

  Just as the sun was about to set completely, in the dim twilight, Chen Chu suddenly saw a house vaguely in the mountain valley not far away.

  Chen Chu, who had been carrying two bags of medicine in the mountains for an entire afternoon and was already exhausted, suddenly seemed to have been injected with a stimulant, stumbling and staggering towards that house.

  When Chen Chu arrived at the gate of the house, the sky had already completely darkened.

  Chen Chu knocked on the wooden door with bated breath and called out weakly: "Excuse me, is anyone there?"

  There was no response inside the house, so Chen Chu called out again. This time, Chen Chu heard some movement inside the house.

  After a moment, an old farmer opened the gate a crack and asked in the dark: "Who are you? How did you come here?" The old man's tone was somewhat strange, with a hint of vigilance in his voice.

  Chen Chu was not bothered by this, after all, knocking on someone's door in the middle of the night would make anyone wary.

  "Old man, don't be afraid. I'm a tourist who came to explore the mountain and got lost, so I ended up here. I hope you can sell me some food." Chen said sincerely.

  The old farmer looked around and then, under the moonlight, sized up Chen Chu from head to toe before pushing open the gate and saying: "I suppose you're a young master of a noble family here on a pleasure trip? If you don't mind, please come rest at my humble farmhouse." His tone was quite humble.

  Chen Chu hastily thanked him and walked into the farmhouse courtyard, immediately afterwards the old farmer hurriedly inserted the gate again.

  Chen Chu followed the old farmer into the farmhouse, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Suddenly, there was a loud thud, and Chen Chu cried out in pain. It turned out that he hadn't seen the path under his feet and had bumped into the bed.

  "Old man, this lacquer is so dark, why don't you light a lamp?" Chen Chu couldn't help but say.

  "Sir, how can poor families in these mountains afford to light lamps?", with a tone that is somewhat bitter.

  Chen Chu couldn't help but be shocked. Can't turn on the lights?! How is this possible?! Wait, this old farmer just called me "xiāng gōng" (husband), and when welcoming me in, he said I was a "shì zú gōng zǐ" (scholar-official's son). These, these are all terms of address from ancient times! Could it be that I really have traveled through time?!

  "What year is it now?" Chen Chu asked urgently.

  The old farmer curled his lip and thought to himself: Why is this gentleman asking me this question, could he be teasing me?

  Although he thought so in his heart, he still replied respectfully: "It's now the time of February six years ago."

  The old farmer's voice was very light, but it sounded in Chen Chu's ears like a thunderclap on a clear day. It's over, I really did cross over!

  Chen Chu didn't know which emperor's reign name and year it was, but he at least knew that this method of dating was only used in ancient times.

  "Good grief, which dynasty is this?", Chen Chu muttered somewhat absent-mindedly.

  The old farmer saw Chen Chu dazed and didn't go to disturb him, retreating to the kitchen to prepare food instead.
