Great time travel

Chapter 59, Arrival and Departure (Next)

Four years before this time and space, when the Lingao Traveling Group came to Hainan Island, Jin Lingxue, a nine-year-old elementary school girl, naturally did not have any ambitions to change the world and create history—usually, Given her age and gender at the time, at most she would have a daydream of "becoming a magical girl, posing in gorgeous poses, and playing around with cute magical pets".

——At that time, Jin Lingxue, who was still a little lolita, embarked on this road of no return through ancient times, which was completely dragged by her father.

Jin Lingxue still clearly remembers that day when her father, who had been divorcing her mother half a year ago and arguing about property and custody rights, suddenly took her out in a hurry and came to a strange city , met many unknown uncles and aunts... Until her father took her on board, besides knowing that she was going to move with her father to a strange place, she also knew about the next journey across time and space, and the seventeenth century She didn't have any correct cognition at all in this world, and it wasn't until a few days after she traveled that she finally woke up.

——For Jin Lingxue, who was born in the 21st century and doesn't even recognize Chinese characters, the history class is still far away from her.As for the various Gongdou dramas and historical dramas on TV, Jin Lingxue's age is still a bit early - she prefers to watch cartoons about magical girls.

Although her father and other travelers are very interested in the world of the late Ming Dynasty 400 years ago, for Jin Lingxue, they are only at a loss.

"... In this new world, you are a princess..." Her father assured her as she climbed off the big boat with her luggage in line.

...Princess... Hehe, this is really a terrible joke that makes people unable to laugh at all!
Recalling his father's swearing and yearning tone at that time, Jin Lingxue couldn't help but a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

——Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.It was less than three months since the ship of the crossing group landed in Lingao. When the crossing group took the initiative to attack for the first time and sent troops to attack Goujiazhuang, a local tyrant village in Lingao County that was an enemy of the crossing group, Jin Lingxue's father Just because he charged ahead, he was poked down from the wall by a spear from the strong man of the Gou family. He fell on the spot and suffered bleeding from his orifices, a skull fracture, and finally died after rescue failed.

So, before the poor Jin Lingxue had time to become a "princess", she had already become a genuine orphan.

——If you don't consider her biological mother who is far away in another world, and who is anxious to jump because of the disappearance of her father and daughter...

Fortunately, no matter how young Jin Lingxue was, she was still considered a "veteran". As the executive committee of the highest authority, it was naturally impossible to kick her away and leave her to fend for herself... However, despite several The care of the "female elder", but the care of outsiders is not as good as the caring of relatives. Jin Lingxue still fully felt the despair of being unaccompanied, the desolation of being alone, and the sadness of being dependent on others...

Then, Jin Lingxue, who had already lost her father, further felt the deep malice of this ancient world.

——In modern novels and film and television works, such things as time travel are often processed by the creators into art with a lot of romantic and happy colors—no matter you are an ordinary person or a genius, as long as you time travel, women will immediately He has become a monster that everyone loves, and a man has leapt to become a leader who changes the world. No matter how bad he is, he can also be a powerful person who can alarm the emperor Lao Tzu by planting a field, reciting a poem, or writing an article.

But the problem is that only after experiencing the real ancient society can we know the real ancient society. It is definitely not the kind of handsome guys running around the ground and beautiful women everywhere in novels and TV dramas. Copying a poem can become famous all over the world. A good place to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver...

On the contrary, the ancient world was not only extremely poor and backward, but also full of dangers, and it was full of malice to the traversers - the attacks of the natives of the Ming Dynasty, the threat of various infectious diseases, the harsh living environment... and the most serious test , but also the extreme lack of material and spiritual life.

As an ordinary girl spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, unprepared for the harsh life in another world, poor student Jin Lingxue was almost on the verge of collapse during the difficult period when she first started her business: she didn’t have Simmons when she was sleeping, and she didn’t have Simmons when she was greedy. KFC, not only does not have air conditioners and soft drinks when it is natural, it does not even have electric fans, and there are no animations and games when it is boring - all kinds of high-definition AV or "love action movies" stored in the computer of the traveler, for so far It was a little too early for the underage Jin Lingxue.Even the toilet is only a squatting toilet that she is not used to.If it is outside of Bairen City, the concept of toilet does not even exist, only stinking huts...

In short, except for the fresh air, the bright Milky Way at night, and green and pollution-free vegetables and seafood, she can hardly find any good things worth mentioning from this world!Most of the time, even electric lights are not available, and only dim kerosene lamps can be used for lighting, which makes her feel as if she has come to a remote mountainous area... But just look at the ragged clothes and combed hair outside. The natives of the Ming Dynasty who have buns know that the place they are staying in now is probably much worse than any remote mountainous area in modern China!

During those darkest days, Jin Lingxue often lay on the bed and cried all night long... She complained more than once about the dead ghost father who brought her to this ghost place to suffer by talking to herself, and by the way The organizer of this crossing has been "greeted" countless times, that is, the [-]th generation of the "executive committee members", but in the end she survived slowly - there is no way, and if she can't survive, it will not work: as long as she leaves The simple camp of the traversers was a dangerous place for her, a loli. Any poisonous insect, a wild animal, or even a mouthful of unclean raw water could kill her!And any seemingly simple and honest farmer of the Ming Dynasty might secretly beat her unconscious and sell her in a brothel!
Therefore, during the most beautiful period of youth in a girl's life, Jin Lingxue was forced to live in a simple dormitory where mosquitoes were flying around and there was no electricity. He had to clean the room, wash clothes and do housework by himself at the age of [-], and ate disgusting seafood porridge every day. He was often called to help wash vegetables and rice, and to copy various documents. Even though she has just finished the second grade of primary school, she doesn't seem to know all the Chinese characters yet, but she already wants to teach a group of illiterates how to read...

Hey, speaking of it is full of bitter tears!
Then, with the passage of time, the Traveler Senate finally gained a firm foothold in Lingao, and the living conditions finally gradually improved.Based on the simple idea of ​​"No matter how hard it is, the child cannot suffer", the Lingao Senate established Fangcaodi College, and tried its best to create a small world that was almost completely isolated from the outside world for those dissatisfied "little elders". Jin Lingxue naturally Also moved into the dormitory of Fangcaodi College.

Although this Fangcaodi Academy is incomparable to the schools in the original world in terms of software and hardware, but it is already a rare and clean place here, and it feels like a school.The academy where the underage traversers are located is even more like a country within a country: surrounded by high walls and heavily guarded.Except for the carefully selected "selection group" of aboriginal students and the naturalized teachers who take care of their daily life, it is difficult for anyone to come and go here, ensuring that they will not be easily disturbed.And what they need to do is to receive a good education and become a new generation of successors to the time-traveling business.

It sounds very good, but in fact, it is similar to the modern fully enclosed boarding school, and it is the kind of school with extremely high learning pressure, strict discipline, and prison-style management, which is enough to make most of the lazy Modern children fear it like a tiger.

In just over two years at Fangcaodi College, Jin Lingxue’s studies have been running at full capacity every day, and a variety of courses have filled her schedule—eight classes a day , After dinner, there will be evening self-study, and the teacher will review today's knowledge points for the students one by one.Children in the modern world are crying out for just learning English.Jin Lingxue, on the other hand, still needs to learn Japanese and Spanish...Jin Lingxue, who doesn't have much language talent, was quickly made dizzy by countless grammars and tenses...

Up to now, Jin Lingxue, who is only 13 years old, should have just entered the sixth grade in the original world, but here she has already finished the junior high school courses, started high school education, and has to learn a lot of extra practical knowledge , I even have to practice shooting and surviving in the wild... It's so scary, does this mean that I want to be a superman or an explorer?Why do you have to learn so many messy things?Jin Lingxue was deeply troubled by this.

No way, in the Lingao Traveling Group, which is known as "women are used as men, and men are used as livestock", at least in the initial stage, no traveler can expect to have an easy life.Even if they are minors, they have to be trained as special forces protagonists who are "proficient in multiple languages, survival skills in the wild, and have a certain level of fighting ability", but they have not considered it at all. Jin Lingxue is just an immature child who should enjoy her childhood without worry girl.

——Even in terms of age, the 13-year-old Jin Lingxue should still celebrate Children's Day in the original world!
In addition to the unbearably heavy academic work, Jin Lingxue's relationship with the "new classmates" also made Jin Lingxue not very comfortable. As an adult, Jin Lingxue, who was only nine years old at the time of transmigrating, was already the second-to-last in age, and the rest of the girls were a few years older than her, and Jin Lingxue was not that familiar Temperament, on the contrary, is a bit introverted and shy, so, among the traversers, she can't always find a few peers who can play around together.

And those local children who "accompany the prince to study", although they have a natural awe and flattery towards the traversers, but they seem too deliberate and artificial, and they can't talk to them.Moreover, the time gap of four full centuries, as well as the feudal tradition with distinct levels, are not so easy to wear away after all.Jin Lingxue, who was originally not sociable, found it extremely difficult to find a close friend here.

This is true between the same sex, let alone between the opposite sex.The few young traversers in the school, although they can barely speak, are almost all firm supporters of polygamy. They always dream of buying a few obedient personal maids when they reach the age. Warming the bed and doing all sorts of nasty things, which is obviously out of the reach of most modern women - is it fun to play house fights with a bunch of ancient women?

As for the indigenous boys, I’m afraid it’s even more tragic... Although most of the local boys shrink back from the “precious” female transmigrators and dare not offend them, it’s not like they didn’t take the initiative to curry favor with and pursue the “female elders”. The "soft rice man" who wants to save 20 years of struggle in one breath.The problem is that Jin Lingxue thinks she is still young at first, and regards those suitors as lolicon.Secondly, she also saw with her own eyes how low the status of women was in traditional families in the Ming Dynasty: the daughter-in-law could not eat at the table, and did housework from morning to night, and the parents-in-law set rules for the daughter-in-law all day long. Going out and shopping in the street will make irresponsible remarks-in a feudal society that has not experienced the women's liberation movement, all kinds of explicit or covert all-round restraints on female compatriots are really worse than those in modern Saudi Arabia. Much more serious and absolutely utterly unbearable for modern women.

During several celebrations for the opening to the outside world, and occasionally when she was wandering outside the market during her vacation, Jin Lingxue met her more than once and scolded her for being "immoral" and "not abiding by women's morals", asking her to bind her feet and learn the rules. old-fashioned old man.There are also Ming Dynasty scholars who claim to be a romantic talent and make fun of her like a kiln sister who sells laughter in a brothel-after learning that Liu Rushi, a famous prostitute in the late Ming Dynasty in history, had already made her debut at a younger age than herself. Jin Lingxue couldn't help letting out a long sigh: Are all men in ancient times really pedophiles?
In short, as a primary school student who has just begun to fall in love, Jin Lingxue has long since despaired of those philandering travelers who are full of three wives and four concubines, and ancient men who are full of three obediences and four virtues to set rules for women. Where is the innocent handsome guy in the end?

By the way, Jin Lingxue really couldn't develop a good impression of this ancient society that was incompatible with her and was boring everywhere.

Therefore, after seeing the video communication sent to her by her mother crying from another world through the smart phone sent by an uncle of the People's Liberation Army, Jin Lingxue burst into tears immediately, and then ignored the teachers and classmates' persuasion , I am determined to go home to find my mother!
However, when it was time to leave, she still felt a little bit of sadness and melancholy when she overlooked the street view of Lingao Dongmen City from the apartment building—in any case, it was the five hundred traversers in Lingao. Over the past three years, the city has been built single-handedly after overcoming numerous difficulties and obstacles.Every brick and tile is soaked in everyone's sweat and painstaking efforts.

In the middle, Jin Lingxue's contribution is naturally indispensable... although the share may be relatively poor.

Therefore, even though she didn't like this time travel experience comparable to going to the mountains and going to the countryside, Jin Lingxue couldn't help but took out the smartphone that her mother had entrusted to her in the last moments before leaving Lingao, Upstairs, aiming at the city in the morning light, clicked and took many pictures that I thought were worth recording, and then lay on the window sill overlooking the scenery, silent for a long time, and my heart was full of thoughts...
