I am a pirate in Ming Dynasty

Chapter 3 Fantasy and Luli

The Grass Grows and the Eagles Fly In early March, Zhang Cong, an ambitious scholar, wrote and wrote quickly. With his help, a new emperor will take over the power of the court and rule the world for more than forty years.

Qin Shang slept in a daze all night, and when he got up the next morning, his mind was still a little unclear.

The first thing I saw was the dark roof, with a wide crossbar passing through it, like a hammer smashing Qin Shang's dream.

He climbed out of bed with some resentment but helplessness. In this era without electric lights, he didn't like the dim light indoors.

After walking out of the room, the fresh and moist cold air made everyone feel refreshed. In his previous life, Qin Shang also lived in the Huaibei area. The air at this time was better than the air in the 1990s when he was not polluted.

The weather in early spring still had the chill of late winter. Qin Shang couldn't help but tighten his collar, and he had the idea of ​​​​going out to take a look.

After cleaning myself up, I simply took two pastries from the kitchen, drank them with hot water, and went out.

As soon as he reached the door, Qin Liu led an old man with gray hair into the door and saluted, "Young Master, I'm sorry!"

Afterwards, regardless of how Qin Shang struggled, the housekeeper picked up Qin Shang and returned directly to the other courtyard.

At this time, it was the white-haired old man's turn to take action. He put the box on his waist on the table, took out a small cloth bag and put it under Qin Shang's hand. He felt Qin Shang's pulse with one hand and He was stroking his beard with one hand, looking like a fairy.

Qin Shang sat with his little face red. Compared with the strength of the adults, his resistance seemed particularly ridiculous. When his strength was exhausted, he sat here obediently like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Looking at this old guy with white beard and white hair, I wondered in my heart whether this guy would die suddenly.

The evil taste immediately made Qin Shang feel a little happy in his heart, but the old guy was not satisfied with holding his arm. He stretched out his hand stroking his beard and touched his mouth and neck a few times before standing up. walked away.

"Doctor Zhou, what's going on with the young master?" Qin Liu, who was leaning over, asked anxiously.

Doctor Zhou said nothing, shook his finger and said: "Young master has no symptoms, his pulse is stable and strong, a bit better than that of ordinary children, there is nothing abnormal about his body, and I can't do anything about it!"

"Since the young master is fine, why haven't you spoken?" Qin Liu asked directly what was on his mind.

Doctor Zhou turned around and took another look at the young master of the Qin family, and said curiously: "Your young master seems to have lively eyes and is in good health. Whether he can speak or not is not something I can do. Maybe as long as he takes care of himself for a while, the young master will be fine." If you can speak, try to follow him during this period!"

After giving a few instructions, Dr. Zhou turned around and left.

The housekeeper then remembered that he had not paid for the consultation, and hurriedly took another piece of silver and chased him out: "Dr. Zhou, you forgot to take your consultation fee."

Unexpectedly, Dr. Zhou only said the next sentence: "If you haven't treated the disease, how can you get the money for diagnosis! Stay, steward Qin."

When Qin Liu left the door, he could only look at Doctor Zhou's retreating back and sigh.

Qin Shang was tortured for a long time. He came out of the other courtyard a little angry, and the imbalance in his heart dominated him.

Extremely angry!

When he passed by Qin Liu, he went out quietly and walked out of the alley with a dark face.

Qin Liu sighed helplessly, summoned a nurse and said: "Follow the young master and watch carefully. If the young master has something, watch your skin carefully."

The guard quickly answered yes, followed Qin Shang out with a sword on his waist.

As soon as Qin Shang went out, there was a tall and strong man beside him. He didn't care. He had small arms and legs. If the housekeeper really didn't worry about him coming out alone, then the housekeeper's position should have been replaced a long time ago. .

The early spring sunshine shines on people, which actually removes some of the dampness and coldness that bothers people.

When Qin Shang raised his head, he could still feel the cold northwest wind blowing over his face. If he walked in the shadow of the wall, the cold weather would still get into his clothes.

The ground was slightly moist after rain, and the mud on the road stuck to the soles of the feet. After walking for a while, one had to find a hard place to rub the soles of the feet.

There is a slight smell of earth in the air, which makes people feel slightly uncomfortable.

Yancheng County has always been poor, and there are not many people on the streets after the rain. They are wandering in twos and threes on the streets. If they encounter something that catches their eye, they may go into the store to take a look.

This feeling of desolation was unbearable to look at, and Qin Shang stopped and walked along the way.

Most of the buildings on the roadside are made of mud and wood, and few stores are purely wooden structures.

People at this time did not have such a high awareness of hygiene. Even though it was a county town, Qin Shang could occasionally see some excrement on the smooth road, mixed with rainwater, which made people look evil.

After Qin Shang carefully crossed a puddle of yellow water on his tiptoes, he walked quickly while holding back the nausea rolling in his stomach. It was only after he finally calmed down on the slightly dry and hard road that he felt again that it would be a mistake for him to live a new life in this era.

This was a time when he couldn't find anything back, and there was nothing that could give him a sense of security.

The deep sense of frustration immediately crushed Qin Shang's few hopes. He raised his head and followed the blue sky to the end. This was Yancheng County in the Ming Dynasty!

Qin Shang was confused, shrugging his head and walking aimlessly.

The sun in the sky gradually rose from the east until it reached the top of people's heads. Smoke from cooking smoke floated in the city. The stalls and restaurants on the roadside began to become lively. The tall nurse took advantage of the opportunity to buy a few big meat buns. , ate five in one breath, and when there was still the last one left, he looked at the small figure in front of him and hesitated before wrapping it up and taking it with him.

About an hour later, Qin Shang had arrived at the city wall.

Looking at the city wall made of bricks, Qin Shang finally had some light in his eyes. In later generations, Yancheng had already been changed from a county to a city, and the city wall had long disappeared. Only a few wreckage could be seen occasionally.

The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty that widely used bricks to build city walls. However, due to insufficient craftsmanship and scale, it was impossible to form a large system. However, in Yancheng County, bricks are rarely used to build city walls.

Nowadays, in most areas, the city walls are still made of rammed earth. The city wall of Yancheng was built in the early Southern Song Dynasty, mainly to resist the Jin soldiers. The city wall with compacted soil was patched three times and has withstood the weather. During the Yuan Dynasty, the earthen wall was severely damaged by wars. In the 16th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent the Lianghuai salt industry from being destroyed by Japanese pirates, Beiwa commanded Yang Qing and guard Qianhu Fengshan to rebuild the city and transform the earthen city into a brick city. , and built a new moon city and three city gates in the east, west and north, forming the city shape of "Laocheng".

After crossing the city gate, you can see the overwhelming green on the ground, which is no more than finger-high, spreading out. The terrain suddenly opens up, and groups of trees are leafy. Occasionally, the birds flying over leave a few clear calls, which echo in the blue sky. superior. The clear water flows along the moat and branches into countless streams interspersed among the streets...

The scenery reflected on people's eyelids like a scroll. Qin Shang pursed his mouth slightly, his throat moved slightly, and his eyes were slightly sore. This damn wilderness reminded him of the people who used to work in the fields.

The spiritual touch suddenly made the whole person relax, and all the obsessions that had been supporting him melted away.

The sound of "gugu" sounded inappropriately, and the tremors in the legs and feet were transmitted along the nervous system to the brain. As soon as the legs and feet went soft, he sat on the ground.

No matter how much physical strength a child can have, the body of a three-year-old can't bear it all of a sudden. There is not much fat in the body, and the feeling of hunger is even stronger.

When a white bun appeared in front of him, Qin Shang took it over and took a big bite without hesitation.

A big meat bun shrank in size in his hand at a speed visible to the naked eye, filling up the temple of his five internal organs in the astonished gaze of the guardian.

But what followed was lingering sleepiness, and he fell asleep almost immediately.

This sleep was the most solid sleep Qin Shang had ever had in this world. In his dream, he was still a child, but the world had returned to the 1990s.

It was still the same field. He was sitting on the one-wheeled cart, watching the young mother packing the last grain in the field. Waiting until the sky is completely dark, frogs are croaking all around, and crickets are chirping, then the mother will push the bucketful of food and walk home with him and his dog barking scrawledly, with some camouflage on their faces on the way. But he went back with a bouncing smile on his face. He might have told some stories he had heard a hundred times on the way, but his face was still full of all kinds of expressions, and what he got in return was the reverberation that echoed under the night sky...

At that time, she was still young...

When I opened my eyes, half of the pillow was soaked. The person lying on the bed was muttering unknown words. Maybe they could be conveyed to someone through the barrier of time!
