【0002 What a big fish】
Lu Xuan thought: This place is not far from Shanhaiguan, it is under the jurisdiction of Liaodong, and the environment is very harsh. Should I change the place?
He really wants to change the place.
When he went to Jiangnan, he was more able to adapt to the environment, but he asked himself that he was not able to drive a warship from the north to the south.
Moreover, the fuel on the ship cannot withstand long-distance navigation. Even if you have to leave, you can only go to the natural harbor close to here. Without the help of navigation, you can accurately find the locations of these natural harbors by yourself?
Lu Xuan thought about it and either went to places like Jinzhou, Lushun, or Tianjin. These places are not much different from Shanhaiguan.
What's more, there are still relatives here.
After quick calculations, Lu Xuan denied the unrealistic ideas and decided to return to Wei Bao's original "home".
Take a shower, put on a warm clothing and shoes, put on a Ming Dynasty coat outside, and pin the revolver and an electric baton around your waist.
He was addicted to cigarettes, put out another pack of cigarettes, a lighter on his body, and put in a bottle of mineral water. He used to bring his wallet, but he thought that it was in ancient times and he couldn't use the money, so he put it down and then combed his hair.
After Lu Xuan was sure that he was no different from the original Wei Bao, he resolutely opened the hatch door. After passing a few doors, he was about to get off the ladder of the warship. Lu Xuan's soft and pink skin was painful when the cold wind blew!
Lu Xuan hurriedly closed the thick iron door again, returned to the cabin, and found the anti-freeze cream used by unknown woman. The packaging box was very delicate. He applied it carefully, put it in his pocket, and then turned back and left the cabin again, and got off the ladder of the warship.
When he arrived on the shore, he saw a small fishing net left by Wei Bao next to the stone tablet. Lu Xuan found it funny. It was so cold that he ran to the beach to net fish? What did he think?
He returned to the warship and ran to the kitchen on the first floor. He went to the warehouse, which surprised him and everyone was "evaporated", but the seafood in the fish tank in the kitchen warehouse was still jumping around.
Lu Xuan took out a medium-sized sea fish weighing more than ten kilograms, tied it with Wei Bao's fishing net, put it on his back, left the cabin again, and got off the warship.
Walk along the exit of memory and walk out of this valley surrounded by mountains.
The mountain road was rugged and the sky was getting late, and he was anxious.
It was snowing now, and there was only one young man in the vast white world, as if he had pointed a small black dot on a huge white paper, and the picture was extremely desolate.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the sky seems to be pressing down.
The road cannot be called a road at all. Under the deep snow are sharp stones, and the pain in the feet makes people unable to stand firm.
Lu Xuan fell several times, but he was still running high and solely, for fear that he would walk slowly and freeze over here where he could not get in front of the village or the shop behind him.
If Lu Xuan hadn't changed into warm leather boots that cost several hundred yuan a pair, he would be unable to move forward at this time.
If Lu Xuan hadn't traveled through time just now, just two or three hours later, Wei Bao would have become a popsicle at this moment. Lu Xuan admired Wei Bao in his heart while walking. How did Wei Bao come to such a far place wearing those pair of shabby cloth shoes?
Even though he understood that he was already a Ming Dynasty native named Wei Bao at this time, Lu Xuan still didn't want to admit that he was Wei Bao now.
After leaving the valley, there was a long row of fences that separated the area where Qin Emperor went to the sea to seek immortality from the outside world. There was also a stone tablet that was erected by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty as a forbidden area. Except for the emperor who came in person, he was not allowed to enter without authorization.
Lu Xuan climbed over the fence with great effort and looked at the words on the stone tablet. There were many traditional Chinese characters, but Lu Xuan didn't recognize them. Although he stored the original Wei Bao's memory, the original Wei Bao had never been to school, and he just recognized a few words with an old boy from his neighbor.
I don't know which Ming emperor gave such an order, but I can see the general meaning clearly. I thought it would be fine, so I don't have to worry about the discovery of this huge iron-clad ship.
A vast wasteland, nothing can be seen, and the boundless world cannot recognize the direction.
At this moment, Lu Xuan, who had absorbed Wei Bao's memory, didn't know that he should go in. He was secretly upset that he should have found a compass or something on the warship just now.
However, I have already walked so far and I am unwilling to go back to the warship.
The weather was too cold, and Lu Xuan did not dare to delay and walked in the general direction in his memory.
Wei Bao's home is in Jinshan, the closest to this place, but it is more than twenty miles away.
This area is really the same as the tour guide introduced. Before the construction of the port in the late Qing Dynasty, it was sparsely populated.
After walking more than ten miles, he saw a river and several families. Lu Xuan knew that it was called Haihe. When he arrived at the boundary of Penglaili next to Jinshanli, he realized that the direction had deviated a lot and walked out a big arc.
It was already very tired at this time, but I could only correct my direction and gritted my teeth and continued to walk.
When it was getting dark, Lu Xuan finally entered the territory of Jinshan.
The thatched huts from east to west are familiar and unfamiliar environments. Now Lu Xuan is fully aware of the route and knows that he will arrive at the 'home' soon.
My heart is pounding violently.
Lu Xuan, who had been telling himself that he was a passerby and a meteor, accidentally traveling to this era and this place, relaxed and regarded it as a long-term trip, but when he saw his thatched hut, he had no mood of a "passerby". It seemed that this was really his home.
This thatched hut is too simple. A laborer can be built in one morning. It can be put into modern times and used as a temporary toilet. No one dares to use it. It is air leaking from all sides. It is an irregular door panel, thick and heavy. It can be seen that the thick tree trunks are randomly divided into two pieces and are temporarily pieced together. The door panel is blown by the wild north wind.
Even in the north, no matter how poor a family is, they will not live in such a hut, and at least they will have to have a rustic house.
Lu Xuan's memory told him that an earthquake had just occurred in this area, and the original earth-breasted house of Wei Bao's family was destroyed in the earthquake. Fortunately, there were no casualties in the family.
This major earthquake in the capital area first occurred repeatedly in Jizhou, Yongping, Shanhaiguan and other places, which damaged the city walls and houses. At that time, Luanzhou had a great earthquake, and countless houses were damaged, and foreign objects were swelling in the ground. Leting old Puzhuang, the ground was swelling in the ground, and the ground was swelling in the black water, which was more than a foot high.
The sound of moving to the peace is like a huge thunder, and countless houses of the city walls were destroyed. Lu Long shook down many houses of the government and the palaces in the capital were shaken and sound, and the water in the copper jar fluctuated.
Yongping Mansion is located in Lulong, and Wei Bao’s current location is very close to Shanhaiguan.
This earthquake lasted for a long time, with some earthquakes one day, two or three, such as the earthquake at the Chensi time, and another earthquake at the Shen time, starting from Qian'an. Qian'an has dozens of earthquakes in a day, and Lulong and Luanzhou lasted for more than 40 days.
This month, the capital was shocked three times.
The land of the city was shaking, the roof was tiles shaking, and they dared not sleep at night. There were many people sleeping in the open. The earthquake in the east was shaking. More than 20 prefectures and counties including Changli, Xin'an, Zhending Prefecture, Jizhou, Zunhua, Yutian, Hejian Prefecture, Baoding Prefecture, Tianjin, and Linyi, Deping, Haifeng, Wuding Prefecture, etc. were all shaking.
The number one enemy in the late Ming Dynasty should be a natural disaster!
From the late Wanli Dynasty to the end of the Chongzhen Dynasty, there were no natural disasters, including earthquakes, floods, droughts, and the people in the northern half and central areas of the entire empire were as if they were living in purgatory on earth.
The great disaster was followed by a great epidemic. Coupled with the weather in the late Ming Dynasty, the exploitation of corrupt officials, the Jiannu not far away and the surrounding green forests and bandits made the people increasingly poor.
Lu Xuan sighed secretly. It was not seen with his own eyes. It was hard to imagine that the lives of ordinary people would be so miserable.
Listening to someone talking in the room, Lu Xuan put the net bag and the fish that had long been frozen into popsicles at the door, and then pushed open the door.
There were a few people in the house, and the light was very dark, and there was no light. There was still a vague view of only one earthen bed, with no tables and chairs, and a few worn bowls and chopsticks were placed on the half-round pile beside the earthen wall.
"Where have you been?" When Wei's mother Huang Ying saw Wei Bao, she immediately stood up.
Wei Mu is a woman who is indescribable. Her face has wrinkles and her skin is torn apart by wind and frost and poor life.
Lu Xuan's memory tells himself that this is his mother in this world. His actual age is only about thirty years old. In modern terms, if he is forty or fifty years old, some people will believe it.
"Mom." Lu Xuan was named as he remembered.
"This is a cold weather, where have you gone?" When Wei's mother saw Wei Bao, her face was happy and asked again.
There were a few people in the house, both old ladies were neighbors next door, and three young men, who were considered Wei Bao’s friends. The three of them were between 25 and 30 years old, and they were much older than Wei Bao. One was a little fat, one was moderate, and the other was thin.
"Wei Bao! Where did you go? Do you know that your godmother is worried about you? It's a cold day. The three of us are looking for you for most of the day, and their teeth almost froze." The man with moderate figure is Luo Sanlangzi, but he is not stunned. Instead, he is a bit cunning and philanthropist. He only has a nickname and does not have a daimyo. His parents have called him Luo Sanlangzi since he was a child. Since Luo Sanlangzi's parents died, they often come to Wei Bao's house to make some food, and are closer to Wei Bao's house. The other two are Luo Sanlangzi's friends.
"Yes, where did you go? We're easy to find." The person who spoke was a little fat Fan Daming, famous Fan Daneng, and his family was poor and could be fat even if you drink water. The neighbor of Wei Bao's family is the closest to Wei Bao's family.
"I haven't gone anywhere." Wei Bao said apologetically.
Wei Bao refused to say that everyone could guess that he was going out to find food. No one asked him again, but they all secretly felt that the young Wei Bao didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick. Not to mention Wei Bao's age, it would be difficult for even the most experienced old hunters to find food.
"Aunt, Wei Bao is back, we are leaving." The last person who spoke was Liu Chunshi, the old Tongsheng in the book, who is twenty-four or five years old, is still a Tongsheng, with a stubborn spirit and living an inhuman life. Save a little money for the imperial examination. His parents are dead, like Luo Sanlangzi, and are old bachelors. Now they live with Luo Sanlangzi, so they also come to help find Wei Bao.
Wei's mother kept thanking her, and the remaining two neighbors also came to talk to Wei Bao. Wei Bao was short and Wei Bao was short. Lu Xuan did not take it to heart and nodded perfunctorily.
Wei Bao originally thought he was Lu Xuan, but now he has completely replaced himself as the role of Wei Bao.
People's names seem to have such magical power. After hearing too much, everyone calls him Wei Bao. It seems that the original Lu Xuan is like a dream. Modern life and various pasts are becoming more and more vague, like a flying flower in a dream.
Wei Bao, Wei Bao, Wei Bao! From now on, I am Wei Bao. Wei Bao said silently in his heart.
After the two aunts and Fan Da head left, Wei Bao remembered something and kept Luo Sanlangzi and Liu Chunshi who were about to go out. "Wait a minute, do you have nothing to eat when you go back? I have a fish here."
Is there a fish?
Wei Mu, Luo Sanlangzi and Liu Chunshi were watching Wei Bao together as if they had heard strange stories in the world.
The net bag and fish that Wei Bao placed at the door were covered by snow. He brought the net bag into the house, closed the door, and put it on the ground.
Seeing that the three of them had moved away from his face and stared at the medium-sized sea fish of about ten pounds on the ground, the three of them were surprised to see that Wei Bao felt a little funny, but also had a little sense of accomplishment.
"What a big fish!" Luo Sanlangzi asked, "Is this the fish you came back from going out today?"
"It's not the fish I caught, will this fish fly into my hands automatically?" Wei Bao smiled and felt that it was fun to see their surprise expression.
"Awesome!" Luo Sanlangzi squinted his eyes and nodded.
"I haven't seen such a good fish in a long time." Liu Chunshi is usually very shy. He was really hungry at this time and actually said such words, "I can eat this fish raw."
"That's good, it's not certain that today Wei Bao's father and Fan Danao's father, Qiu Ya's father, and the three of them went out to hunt, and they didn't necessarily get prey." Wei's mother was even a little excited, holding the lower edge of her coarse cloth clothes tightly and laughed, "This big fish is really time to come."
Wei Bao's family, Fan Danao Fan Daneng's family, Wang Zhihui and Wang Qiuya's family, the three families are close to each other and have a good relationship. Sometimes they go out together to find food.
"I said Wei Bao was lucky. I really never heard of the fact that he could go to the beach to catch fish in this cold weather." Luo Sanlangzi happily patted Wei Bao's thin shoulders, pointed to the fish on the ground and said, "If I hadn't seen this fish with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that Wei Bao would find food if he was beaten to death."
Wei Bao just laughed and didn't say much. Although he accepted that he was already a Ming Dynasty person, he still had a slight barrier in his heart and had not completely integrated himself into this era and this environment.
However, this fish is like him, and the facts are already here, so it can't be faked, right?
Wei Bao was worried that he would not behave like Wei Bao, and his accent would be different from the original Wei Bao, which would make people feel strange. Now he has no such concern at all. No matter what he acts like, even if he swears English all over his mouth, he is already Wei Bao. It is an unchangeable fact. Just be yourself.
The food was hard-won at this time, and Luo Sanlangzi and Liu Chunshi were embarrassed to stay. Wei Mu and Wei Bao tried their best to keep it, so the two of them stayed.
