Drive to the Tang Dynasty, where supplies are refreshed daily!

Chapter 1: A Road Trip to the Tang Dynasty!

A Class C motorhome is slowly driving along a remote dirt road.

The locust and oak trees on both sides intertwine on the roof of the car, forming a natural green tunnel. Occasionally, wild rose vines hang down from the roadside slope, brushing against the car body and making a soft rustling sound.

Although it was getting dark, Xiao Ran could still glimpse the outline of the mountains not far away through the gaps in the trees. His destination was hidden there: the 'Secret Wild Pool' that was being hotly discussed on a fishing forum.

Rubbing his sore eyes, Xiao Ran glanced at the central control screen.

The blue arrow is about to reach the finish line marker, and you can see on the map that you are getting closer and closer to the pool.

As a seasoned angler with five years of driving experience and two and a half years of solo road trips, I'm already used to this kind of exploration deep into the wilderness.

The dust kicked up by the wheels, mixed with the fresh scent of grass and trees, is more invigorating than any coffee.

Seeing different scenery from all over the country is exciting enough, but if you can also find a good fishing spot, the joy is doubled!
Xiao Ran always felt that leaving his original place of residence reduced his troubles by 80%, and by not interacting with people, the remaining 20% ​​disappeared as well.

That's how this RV came to be.

I don't like interacting with people, but being alone can be a bit boring. In the passenger seat next to me, a silver shaded dog is lying sprawled out, and in front of the seat, a Samoyed is lazily lying down.

"This is indeed a great place!" Xiao Ran drove the RV directly to the grassy area next to the pond.

It's just that autumn has arrived, and the flowers, plants, and trees are starting to turn slightly yellow.

After getting out of the car with the Samoyed, I stretched and said, "It's a bit late, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

I relieved myself on the grass nearby before returning to the RV, trying to avoid using the RV's toilet as much as possible.

Xiao Ran didn't forget the important matter; he first scattered some corn to make a nest.

I ate something simple, fed the Samoyed and the cat, washed up, and lay down in bed.

Before going to bed, I habitually pick up my phone to watch short videos, only to find there's no signal.

"Huh? How remote is this! There's no signal!" Xiao Ran plugged in the charger, didn't dwell on it, and turned off the light to go to sleep.

Xiao Ran had a very long dream, and the outside world of the RV had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Autumn of the sixth year of Zhenguan!
In my dream, I was trapped under a mountain and couldn't breathe. When I woke up, I found my cat crouching on my chest.

"Get off me!" Xiao Ran reached out and shooed the cat away. "It feels like I slept for ages."

I reached under my pillow, pulled out my phone, and checked the time: 6:30 in the morning.

I originally wanted to sleep in, but when I thought about how this was a great place for fishing and that I had already prepared my fishing spot, my sleepiness vanished instantly.

After getting dressed and getting out of the car with the Samoyed, Xiao Ran was dumbfounded.

"Huh? Where did you get this for me?"

Xiao Ran wondered if he was hallucinating and rubbed his eyes hard.

The morning breeze, carrying an unfamiliar scent, rushed towards me.

The pool was still in the same place, but the scene on the shore made Xiao Ran suddenly stunned. The dense locust grove from yesterday was gone, replaced by sparse shrubs and bare tree stumps.

The distant mountain ranges were frighteningly clear, with no tall trees to obscure them. The mountains were covered with low-lying wild grasses, and occasionally a few crooked jujube trees struggled to grow.

"Something's not right, something's definitely not right!" Xiao Ran remembered very clearly that it wasn't like this yesterday.

I only took a nap, but it felt like I slept for ages!
A glance around the pool revealed several neatly arranged tree stumps, clearly the work of human hands.

Xiao Ran's heart suddenly started racing.

I recalled the "secret spot of wild pools" mentioned by anglers on the forum, but the scene before me seemed to have been peeled away by time. There were few trees, shrubs, and even the water in the pool seemed to be a bit shallower than last night, revealing large areas of dried mudflats.

"Hiss!" Xiao Ran gasped, rubbing his forehead. "How long did I sleep?" He turned to look at the back of the RV; the road he came from was gone.

Xiao Ran led the Samoyed to the back of the RV, leaving no tire tracks.

Xiao Ran raised his hand and flicked the Samoyed on the head, making the dog howl in pain.

"Woof woof woof!" the dog expressed its dissatisfaction.

Xiao Ran rubbed his hand. "It hurts. It's not a dream."

I took out my phone, but there was no signal at all.

Although no one lived here before, you could still see traces of modern life, such as utility poles.

It's not far from the city center, and you could see buildings in the distance, but they're all gone now.

Xiao Ran took the Samoyed and ran towards higher ground, wanting to see what was happening nearby.

The moment I stood still, the sound of my heartbeat suddenly drowned out the sound of the wind, and what unfolded in my vision was an ancient scroll stripped of modern civilization.

There was no dreaming; everything before my eyes was real, yet it lacked the familiarity of modern society.

In the flat fields below the slope, scattered millet stalks stood, the straw piled into haystacks, swaying in the morning breeze.

However, Xiao Ran remembered that corn was planted nearby, and many corn stalks were still in the field.

But now we can't see any corn.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

In the distance, a few farmhouses surrounded by rammed earth walls can be seen scattered sparsely in the fields. The thatched roofs are blown about by the autumn wind, and occasionally wisps of smoke drift from the low chimneys, curving upwards into the gray-blue sky.

As someone who has read many novels and is also an author who writes novels while traveling by car, Xiao Ran already had an idea in mind.

"I've traveled through time!"

After failing to make several calls to others on his phone, Xiao Ran was completely certain that he had transmigrated.

For a carefree fishing enthusiast on a road trip, it doesn't really matter where you are.

Think a little excited.

The world here is clearly not a high-tech era, and is even far less advanced than our own time. Therefore, our own things have become priceless treasures of this era.

As the saying goes, "possessing a treasure is a crime," such things should be hidden away to avoid attracting unwanted attention and causing trouble.

After circling around the pool, I discovered a cave in a nearby ravine.

The nearby trees have been severely cut down, but there are many shrubs, so it doesn't affect driving through.

Xiao Ran was very satisfied with this. If a thatched hut were built in front, it could cover the RV inside.

“Yes, that’s it.” Xiao Ran took an axe from the car and started preparing. Unfortunately, there weren’t many trees, just bushes.

A carriage slowly drove out of Chang'an City. Zhang Anan skillfully drove the carriage, while Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin guarded it on the left and right sides, respectively.

Li Shimin lifted the curtain, looked out over the fields, and nodded in satisfaction. This year, the Guanzhong region had a bumper harvest.

The group was dressed casually, not wanting to attract attention, and just wanted to come out and see what was really going on in the neighborhood.

It was the busy farming season, and Li Shimin did not want to delay the people's lives.
