"Where am I? Didn't I get knocked down by a car while waiting for a client at the entrance of the neighborhood?”
In a place called Lanxian Town, Chen Ning, who had just graduated from university, was lying in bed. She looked at the old bed curtain with a confused expression on her face, and a trace of doubt flashed through her mind.
"Little brother, you're awake!"
Just as Chen Ning was wondering where he was, he heard a rough voice. He looked over and saw a middle-aged man with a hoe standing at the door.
Before Chen Ning could say anything, the middle-aged man quickly said,"Little brother, don't move. I'll go make you something to eat. Are you hungry?”
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Chen Ning sat up on the bed and asked,""Thank you, uncle. Why am I here? Didn't I get knocked down by a car in Jiang Zhou? Why am I not at the hospital but at your place? Where am I?”
"Jiang Prefecture? What was that place? When I met you, you were lying unconscious in my field.”The middle-aged man was also confused. He paused for a moment and continued,"This place is called Flipping Immortals Town. As for the Jiang Prefecture you mentioned, I don't know where it is.”
What kind of place was this? Chen Ning was dumbfounded. He didn't know all the streets in Jiangzhou, but at least he knew about the nearby towns and districts. He had never heard of the existence of this town. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was dressed like an ancient man, a bold and unrealistic thought popped into Chen Ning's mind. Damn, did he transmigrate?
Chen Ning immediately got up and walked out of the house. The middle-aged man saw what was happening and followed Chen Ning out.
Soon, Chen Ning and the middle-aged man returned to his home in the evening. However, unlike before, Chen Ning was sitting on the wooden bench at the door with a blank expression. He had transmigrated. Yes, he had really transmigrated.
Chen Ning spent the entire afternoon asking around in this place called Lanxian Town. The answer he got made Chen Ning feel like he was in a dream. He had come to a strange world, a world he had never heard of before. It was not the ancient world he was familiar with.
"Little brother, you don't have to be depressed. Although I don't know what kind of place Jiang Zhou is, you can slowly ask around. I believe you will find your way back.”The middle-aged man patted Chen Ning's shoulder and comforted him.
Chen Ning looked up at the honest middle-aged man in front of him with a dazed expression. He immediately stood up and bowed deeply."Uncle, thank you for saving me from the outside and walking with me for the entire afternoon. Thank you.”From the middle-aged man, Chen Ning learned that he was the one who carried her back from the fields. Otherwise, she would not even have a place to settle down when she inexplicably transmigrated to this world.
After that, Chen Ning and the middle-aged man slowly chatted. Chen Ning was eager to know what kind of world he was in. He learned from the middle-aged man that his surname was Li, Li Dacheng. His ancestors had lived in Famed Immortals Town for generations and were farmers. Not only that, but he also learned from Li Dacheng that there was a city not far from Famed Immortals Town called Heaven's Wall City. It was extremely prosperous. It wasn't something that Canvassed Immortals Town could compare to. When Chen Ning mentioned the Heaven's Wall City, he noticed Li Dacheng's yearning expression.
"Uncle Cheng, haven't you been to Heaven's Wall City? How is it like? Is it really as beautiful as you say?”As a modern person, Chen Ning had seen many high-rise buildings. Although he was curious, he felt that it should be similar to the ancient towns he had seen before, so he was not too curious.
Hearing this, Li Dacheng smiled and said," Why haven't I been there? Five years ago, I went there with Minister Wang when I was his assistant. I even gave each of them fifty tips." When Li Dacheng mentioned fifty tips, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if it was a huge sum of money.
"Oh? Who was Minister Wang? Did he go to Heaven's Wall City often?”Chen Ning asked again.
Li Dacheng took out two fist-sized fruits from the basket and threw one to Chen Ning. He took a bite and said," That's not the case. Most of the people in our town hunt wild animals on the Hidden Dragon Slope outside of Lanxian Town. They usually eat the meat at home. If they don't make clothes from the animal skin, they will sell it to Minister Wang. Usually, it takes two years for Minister Wang to deliver the goods. Moreover, the road is not that safe, so it's very difficult for the people in our town to go to Heaven's Wall City. Even Minister Wang has to bring a lot of people with him every time he carries the goods.”
"As for Minister Wang, he is a great big shot. He can be said to be the richest man in our Famed Immortals Town.”
Chen Ning listened quietly and nodded slightly. She looked at the fruit in her hand and couldn't care less. She had not eaten for a day and quickly wolfed down the fruit. It tasted sweet, similar to honeydew.
Li Dacheng patted Chen Ning's shoulder and said,""Eat slowly. If there's not enough, there's still a basket. I'll make you some food.”After saying that, he smiled and shook his head before walking into the house.
During dinner, Li Dacheng told Chen Ning not to think too much. If they had nowhere to go, they should stay with him in Lanxian Town for the time being. They could take care of their health and think of a way to deal with the future. Chen Ning looked at the kind and honest uncle in front of him and thought of how he was alone in this strange world. He couldn't help but feel touched and said softly, Thank you, Uncle Dacheng."
Li Dacheng waved his hand and said," Brother Chen, there's no need to be so polite with me. It's fine. When you're better, I'll bring you to Wolong Slope to hunt. We can exchange it for some money."”After saying that, he told Chen Ning to rest early and then left.
After Li Dacheng left, Chen Ning ate a few mouthfuls before lying down on the bed. However, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She thought about how she grew up in an orphanage in her previous life. The principal had paid for her to finish college, but before she could repay the orphanage, she was brought to this strange place by a car accident. She did not know how to live in this world in the future. Fortunately, Chen Ning was very adaptable. She slowly convinced herself that there was a saying," The Dream of Nanke." Who cared? He took one step at a time and gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, Li Dacheng left the house without waking Chen Ning up. He probably wanted Chen Ning to have a good rest.
Soon, the day passed quietly as Chen Ning wandered around. When it was dinner time, Chen Ning said to Li Dacheng,""Uncle Dacheng, bring me to work tomorrow. I don't feel comfortable staying at home, so I need to find something to do.”
Hearing Chen Ning's words, Li Dacheng first refused. However, under Chen Ning's insistence, he finally smiled and shook his head.
Just like that, Chen Ning followed Li Dacheng from morning till night. Gradually, he got used to this kind of life. Sometimes, Li Dacheng would bring Chen Ning to the Wolong Slope to hunt, but most of them were wild dogs and rabbits. There were also some big prey. There were quite a few tigers, but the two of them were not strong enough, so they did not have the idea of hunting tigers.
One night, Chen Ning, who was eating, looked at Li Dacheng who was wolfing down his food and said,""Uncle Dacheng, why are we always wandering outside the Hidden Dragon Slope? Wasn't there more prey inside? Why don't we ask more people to go deeper? Wouldn't we be able to hunt more prey?”Chen Ning had familiarized himself with the environment of the town after hunting with Li Dacheng. The town was neither big nor small. It was more appropriate to call it a village because it was not big. The bigger one was the Hidden Dragon Slope outside the town.
Li Dacheng, who was munching on the rabbit meat, was slightly stunned. Seeing Chen Ning's puzzled expression, he said,""Brother Chen, you might not know this. It's not that we don't want to go in, but it's very dangerous inside. I heard from the older generation that there are even demonic beasts inside. For many years, the people of our Famed Immortals Town only dared to hunt some wild beasts in the periphery.”Chen Ning noticed a hint of fear in Li Dacheng's eyes when he mentioned the demonic beast.
"Uncle Cheng, what is a demonic beast?" Chen Ning asked again.
Chen Ning's words made Li Dacheng, who was eating, put down his bowl and chopsticks. He thought for a moment and said,"Actually, I don't know what it is either. I've never seen it before, but I heard that it's very valuable, but it's too dangerous. Even seven or eight men like your Uncle Cheng are no match for it. Moreover, that thing is fierce and cunning. In the past, there were people from the town who went to hunt it, and it was a dozen men. They went deep into it to hunt demon beasts, and guess what happened in the end?”
"What's wrong? Did you kill it?"
"No, only one escaped. The rest are all dead.”Towards the end, Li Dacheng's face revealed a trace of fear, as if he was very afraid of the depths of the Hidden Dragon Slope.
"All dead? What kind of demonic beast was this? Isn't this a monster?" Chen Ning was dumbfounded. He couldn't even defeat a dozen men. This was beyond Chen Ning's knowledge. He had known many villagers in the past few days in the town. Each of them had great strength and could lift things weighing two to three hundred pounds.
Minister Li nodded lightly and did not say anything else. It seemed that he did not want to mention these things anymore. To the people of Lanxian Town, the depths of the Hidden Dragon Slope seemed to be a taboo. Very few people mentioned it.
Time flew by. Unknowingly, Chen Ning had been living in Lanxian Town for almost a year. One evening, after Chen Ning finished his work, he stood in front of a water tank in Li Dacheng's courtyard. Looking at the reflection of his face in the water, Chen Ning smiled and saw a young man who was not handsome but was extremely sunny. The young man had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His eyes were especially beautiful and full of vigor. He was definitely a handsome young man. He was 1.78 meters tall. In Chen Ning's own words, he was also a handsome person.
The red glow of the evening enveloped the entire Lanxian Town, and smoke rose from the chimneys. Chen Ning looked at the sunset on the horizon and sighed."The setting sun is infinitely beautiful, but it's close to dusk.”
"What are you humming again, Brother Chen? It's quite artistic, but I don't understand.”Li Dacheng appeared beside Chen Ning at some point in time. He was eating a fruit in his hand.
"A poem from my hometown." Chen Ning leaned against the water tank and made a pose that she thought fit the mood. She continued,"Uncle Cheng, why did you come? You weren't home this afternoon.”
Li Dacheng waved his arm and found a wooden stool to sit on."Do you still remember Minister Wang I told you about? He asked me to help him load the goods tomorrow and accompany him to Heaven's Wall City to find someone, but I recommended you to him.”
"Why? Uncle Cheng, aren't you going?" Chen Ning was a little confused.
Li Dacheng smiled and said," I've been there. There's nothing to go there. But you should go out more often at such a young age. I know you're a scholar and have a lot of brains. It's boring to stay in Lanxian Town with a farmer like me. Go out and see the world more often. Besides, the crops are about to ripen. I'll be away for half a month and have to harvest at home."”
Chen Ning didn't say anything after hearing Li Dacheng's words. Instead, he looked at the honest middle-aged man in front of him. Over the past year, he had gradually regarded Li Dacheng as his only family in this world. Li Dacheng's actions and care over the years had deeply moved Chen Ning. Take the matter of Minister Wang's shipment as an example. Although Li Dacheng said that he didn't go because of the crops in the field, Chen Ning knew, This was because Li Dacheng wanted him to go out and experience more, so he gave him this opportunity.
"Official Wang has a lot of rules. You have to pay more attention and don't talk nonsense. Tomorrow morning, you can go to the door of Official Wang's house and wait.”Li Dacheng continued to instruct. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was already dark. He patted Chen Ning on the shoulder and said,"Alright, I'll cook. You must be hungry after working all day.”After saying that, Li Dacheng walked into the house.
"Uncle, let me help you." Chen Ning also ran into the kitchen and chatted happily with Li Dacheng to prepare dinner. The two of them had a happy dinner that night. During the dinner, Li Dacheng once again reminded Chen Ning of some things to take note of when she was delivering the goods with Minister Wang tomorrow.
