Time travel: Are you as professional as him in eating dog food?
Chapter 18: Dreamland
The electric shock feels tingling and numb, and I feel a current passing through my whole body. It feels so good.
When Wen Baixu was in a daze, he heard a familiar voice in his ear.
"My son, my son...I have worked so hard to find you..."
An old and sad voice like an old woman appeared around him.
"What? I didn't..."
He mumbled something, but couldn't make a sound. His vision gradually became blurry.
At this moment, the candle in the lampshade suddenly flickered, and his window creaked open a crack, and the sound of a cane tapping sounded outside the window...
After a moment of darkness, a beam of dazzling light shone directly into Wen Baixu's eyes. Wen Baixu's tightly closed eyes seemed to feel something, and he moved quickly left and right, slowly opened his eyes, and kept mumbling.
"Hmm~ What's wrong? I just went to bed."
"Mother, please have some breakfast. Yingniang and I are going out to sell tofu. I'll give you breakfast first. Today we only have porridge, so you can just eat it. When your son makes money, I'll give you delicacies every day to honor you..."
As Wen Baixu listened, he felt as if a bowl of porridge, neither hot nor cold, was stuffed into his hand, and his mouth uttered a sound that did not sound like his.
"My son, please don't work too hard. I just hope you and Yingniang are fine. As for whether you can eat delicacies from land and sea, it doesn't matter...I don't mind."
As he spoke, Wen Baixu felt his body lean forward unconsciously, and his hand unconsciously rubbed a bony hand, then gradually moved upwards, and suddenly it seemed to touch the cheek, and the old voice sounded again.
"Son, you've lost weight again. Have you not been eating well again? Didn't I tell you that..."
"Mom, don't worry about me, my son is fine."
As he was speaking, the hand that was touching his face suddenly felt wrapped by a bony palm, and the owner of that palm slowly squatted down and leaned on the speaker's legs, resting his head on her knees, like a little child, seeking a moment of warmth.
"Cui Lang, why are you still acting like a child? Pack up quickly, we have to hurry to the market."
A delicate voice sounded at the door. The man lying on the old woman's knees rubbed against her knees like a child, pressed her knees, and whispered softly.
"Mom, when you're done, put the bowl on the stool next to the bed. Yingniang and I will come back to clean up after selling tofu."
The man who was lying on his knees stood up slowly and said goodbye to the people in the house.
The door creaked open and closed
Listening to the footsteps gradually fading away, the old woman sitting on the bed picked up the bowl with trembling hands and drank the porridge in the bowl.
At this moment, the old woman was enjoying a wonderful breakfast, and the 'he' in her body was exploding.
"What the hell is this? Have I traveled through time again? Mianmian...Mianmian"
Wen Baixu kept screaming and shouting in the old woman's body, but... it was as if the system had never appeared in his space. It was quiet, dark, and there was no sound of anyone.
Wen Baixu continued to shout "Mianmian" in disbelief, and kept running towards what he thought was the front, but... just when he was really tired from running, he sat down and lay there, looking at the pitch-black surroundings.
"Huh~ What is this place? It's pitch black, there's no light at all... How long will I stay here..." He shouted, but there was only his voice around him, nothing else...
Wen Baixu opened his hands tiredly and looked at the darkness above his head. After an unknown amount of time, a happy voice sounded.
"Mom, today we met a very nice man. He bought all our tofu, but he wants us to deliver it to his door in the future. The price is three times what we charge at the market."
Wen Baixu sat up when he heard this, facing the source of the sound and looking forward, but there was darkness ahead.
"Son, what you said is true. Then...then we have somewhere to spend the winter."
The old woman's voice was mixed with excitement. She groped forward little by little with trembling hands until a pair of hands tightly grasped the old woman.
"Mother, we have really met a great noble this time, and the noble is very kind. This way, not only the expenses for the winter, but also Cui Lang's tuition are all settled."
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman in plain linen clothes came in and said happily to the old woman:
The old woman immediately held the hand of the man in front of her happily, and kept asking him to deliver the goods to the noble man well and not let him pick the wrong ones.
The two of them agreed repeatedly
In this way, the two of them, one grinding beans and the other making tofu, time passed day by day, and the joyful sounds in the house became stronger and stronger, as if this kind of life would never change.
But things always come to an end, and the day of delivering tofu has come to the end. The two said goodbye to the old woman, opened the door, and walked out of the house.
The old woman stood up with the help of the bed, her empty eyes looking at the door, but there seemed to be an indescribable worry in her eyes.
In fact, the old woman didn't know what she was worried about, but she just felt very uneasy.
The sound of crows came, and the old woman stood up again, holding the edge of the bed, and shouted to the old man.
"My son, my mother, are you back?"
But the sound was heard for a long time, but there was still no echo. Until the old woman kicked the table leg, she fell to the ground with a cry of "Ah", trembling and straightened up, and moved towards the door little by little.
Suddenly, the door opened with a creaking sound, and a bloody smell filled my nose.
The old woman was a little panicked at this time. She kept reaching out her hand to touch the front and asked in a trembling voice: "Son, is that you?"
There was only deathly silence in the house, and still no answer.
"Son, is it you, speak up?"
As she spoke, the old lady moved her body forward until she touched a familiar face, which seemed to have traces of blood on it....
The old woman finally knew who was in front of her. She couldn't help crying and threw herself into his arms.
"Son, what's wrong with you? Why did you come back just now? Where's Yingniang?"
The man who was hugged by the old woman at this moment came to his senses. If the old woman could see, she would find that his face was already full of tears. He choked and trembled as he hugged the old woman.
"Mom, I... am useless... I can't protect Yingniang, she... she can't come back"
Then he leaned on the old woman's shoulder and cried.
The old woman's heart skipped a beat, and she asked in a trembling voice: "What do you mean? Ying... Yingniang, what happened? Tell me quickly..."
The man stopped crying and told the old woman everything that happened in the morning. He choked up and said, "Mother, I saw it clearly. The young master of the Marquis's Mansion refused to listen or acknowledge him. Even the Marquis was... Can we poor people really not fight against the officials?"
The old woman was filled with mixed feelings at this time, but....she could only comfort the man in front of her and ask him to think of another way, but he must rescue Yingniang.
As they were talking, the two stood up. The man helped the old lady back to bed, then went to the kitchen to cook.
After a while, he limped over to bring the food and fed it to his mother mouthful by mouthful, but at this moment his eyes were firm as if he had made a decision...
At night, the room was pitch black. The old woman on the bed closed her eyes quietly, but the sound of tiptoe footsteps could be heard in the room. The old woman did not wake up until the door was gently opened and closed.
It was not until the next day that the neighbor opened the door and saw the person beside the bed, and then told the old woman what happened that morning.
It turned out that Cui Xiucai had written a letter and put a piece of silver inside it, which he put in the letter and threw into the neighbor's yard. The next morning, when the neighbor was about to go out to buy something, he saw the envelope in the yard and realized that Cui Xiucai was going to file a complaint. So he came to the hut and told the old woman.
Although the old woman couldn't see at this time, she seemed to have a premonition of something. She thanked the neighbor for his kindness in taking her to live in his house and just accepted their three meals a day.
The neighbor couldn't resist, so he shook his head helplessly and walked out the door
When the sound of the door disappeared again, the old woman could no longer bear it and staggered to the bed, crying
At this moment, Wen Baixu in her body was also very nervous, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. But just when he was panicking, a beam of light flashed across his eyes. Wen Baixu couldn't help but close his eyes. When there was no movement around him, he opened his eyes again, but found that he was still in the dark, but the sound he could hear in his ears had changed...
"Madam, don't worry, just stay here peacefully. Our wife has already made arrangements. If Cui Xiucai comes back, we will let you meet Cui Xiucai immediately. It's cold recently, so you should take good care of yourself. This is the medicinal soup that Madam prepared."
As Wen Baixu was speaking, he felt a strong smell of medicine coming towards him.
"Will this.....be too much trouble for Madam?"
As he spoke, Wen Baixu felt his body move and touch the medicine bowl.
"No, before I came, Madam repeatedly told me to take good care of her and watch her drink it."
She put her hand on the bowl.
At this moment, the old woman didn't say anything. She picked up the bowl with trembling hands and drank it in one gulp. The person in front of her nodded, picked up the bowl with a smile, and told her to stay well and that she would meet her son soon.
The old woman sighed repeatedly that she had met a kind-hearted person.
The maid just smiled faintly, helped the old woman back to bed, and said nothing more.
Until one night a few days later, the old woman wanted to call the maid because she had to go to the bathroom, but no one answered her call, so she had to grope her way to the bathroom by herself.
After using the toilet, she felt more and more uneasy. Thinking that nothing would happen, she could only slowly find her way out of the room and out of the yard little by little.
After walking for a while, I came to a rockery and heard a scream. After the sound disappeared, a man's voice rang out: My Lord, the human stake is ready. As long as you follow this method, you will definitely be able to...
The old woman's feet went weak upon hearing this. Fortunately, there was a rockery beside her, so she held on with trembling hands. Then her heart skipped a beat and she took a step back unconsciously. However, she didn't expect that there was a person standing behind her, and when she stepped back, she bumped into him.
"what"
The old woman couldn't help but scream after bumping into someone, and a familiar voice came from behind her
"Madam, it's freezing cold. Where are you going?"
