Chapter 23 Caution and Enthusiasm in the Times(1/2)
...
I don't know how long it took.
Tang Lei found that the white light curtain shrouded in front of him began to gradually become weaker.
Tang Lei also felt his heartbeat again. The originally extremely quiet world slowly became noisy, and all the sensory systems in his body began to gradually recover.
After the white light curtain surrounding Tang Lei slowly disappeared, Tang Lei looked around.
Light blue sky!
“It’s daytime!”
Around Tang Lei's body, there were emerald green wheat seedlings planted, and traces of melting snow could be vaguely seen between the gaps of the wheat seedlings.
Tang Lei looked down at his feet and found that he was standing in the farmland now.
"Yiyi?" Tang Lei was a little nervous.
"Boss, do you have any questions?" Yiyi replied.
"Have you succeeded in traveling through time?" Tang Lei looked around carefully and asked with some uncertainty.
"Yes, boss!" Yiyi replied concisely.
"I'm really in 1980 now?" Tang Lei asked in disbelief.
"Boss, the time when the fire number is analyzed has reached the present time: 16:43:12 on January 6, 1980." Yiyi replied.
"Didn't it travel to February 10, 1980? Why is it January 6, 1980?" Tang Lei asked a little confused.
"Boss, because the energy used by the Fire No. is too low to achieve accurate time jumps, there is an error." Yiyi continued to explain.
"Then where am I now?" Tang Lei asked immediately worriedly.
Time can be errored, but location can’t be errored!
“This is where you are now.”
After Yiyi finished answering, a virtual map projected by the Fire Number appeared in front of Tang Lei.
The virtual map shows that Tang Lei's location is still in Jiang Province in China, but it has changed from Jiangcheng to Wu County. However, the virtual map displayed by the Fire Number is still the Jiang Province map at Tang Lei's time node.
"It's okay! It's still in Jiang Province, only 130 kilometers away from Jiangcheng." Tang Lei breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice.
"Yiyi, don't there be a detailed map of this time node?" Tang Lei looked at the map of his time node and asked with a frown.
"Boss, to update the map of this time node, you need to connect to the network signal." Yiyi replied.
"There is a ghost network signal in this era! Yiyi, you are really unreliable!" Tang Lei said speechlessly.
"I'm sorry, boss, Yiyi disappointed you." Yiyi replied in a gentle voice.
"Forget it, I didn't prepare in advance!"
Tang Lei was feeling a little uncomfortable at this time. He only prepared a map of Jiangcheng in 1980. In order to get this map, Tang Lei was useless, but unfortunately it was useless.
There was a time error, and Tang Lei could barely accept it. Anyway, the fire number would take 30 days to recharge, so there was no big problem.
But Tang Lei felt very uncomfortable when the location error was too large. You should know that it was in 1980, and you had to go anywhere, and you had to write a letter of introduction and a resident household registration book, otherwise it would be difficult to move forward.
Although Tang Lei made a fake household registration book, Tang Lei could not guarantee that it would be 100% useful.
Tang Lei walked out of the wheat field along the ridge of the wheat field and came into a small bamboo forest south of the wheat field.
After careful observation for four weeks, Tang Lei felt relieved to let the Tinder open the "white hole" space and took out the military green backpack in the 1970s style.
After Tang Lei walked out of the bamboo forest with his backpack on his backpack, he saw a winding dirt road.
Tang Lei had no navigation of Yiyi and did not know where this dirt road leads, but after a lot of trouble, he still walked on this winding dirt road.
...
After walking for about 5 minutes, Tang Lei finally saw the figure of a village from afar.
During this period, Tang Lei also met two pedestrians who were resisting farm tools on the dirt road, but he did not dare to talk to him and hurriedly walked by with his head down.
Tang Lei approached the village step by step, but as soon as he reached the intersection of the village, he was stopped.
"Which boy is you? You have a very good face! Whose family should you go to?"
An old man with a vicissitudes of life and aged 60s said in a rough voice, walking in front of Tang Lei while speaking.
Tang Lei was frustrated by this series of inquiries, but he quickly calmed down and replied with a smile:
"Uncle, I am a student from Jiangcheng National University. I came here to look for relatives, but I didn't expect to get lost."
"Now I'm tired and hungry, so I think of coming to the village to ask for a bowl of water."
After saying that, Tang Lei handed the old man a fake 1970s National University student ID card.
This prototype of the student ID card of the National University was found by Tang Lei in the historical and cultural district of his alma mater, and copied one by one, but the name was changed to himself.
Tang Lei is confident that this fake college student certificate can get away with this country old man.
"Yo! I'm still a college student!"
"Go to my house to have a drink. My son is the village party secretary of this village. Don't worry!"
The old man took the student ID far away, squinted his eyes and said to Tang Lei with a smile.
"Then thank you! Uncle."
Tang Lei said politely and followed the old man. Only then did he notice that the old man was a cripple.
The old man's home is located west of the center of the village. It is a one-in-one and three-in-one home, which is the same as the old houses in the countryside of the 1970s that Tang Lei saw online.
There is a wide western field in front of the house. In a corner of the western field, there are several old men in their seventies and several old women with small feet sitting.
"Patriotic father, who is the handsome young man who is following you?" An old man looked at Tang Lei and asked the lame old man.
"A young man from another country who lost his way! He is still a college student!" the lame old man replied with a smile.
Tang Lei also smiled and nodded at the old men sitting while walking.
...
"Uncle, what's the name of your village?" Tang Lei drank a bowl of water in a fake way, touched his mouth and asked the lame old man.
"We are Huangjiawan! Where are you going, young man?" asked the lame old man.
"I don't know where I am going! I'm just making a fool of myself!" Tang Lei certainly couldn't say this, so he could only think about countermeasures quickly in his heart!
When Tang Lei decided to just say a place name and get away with it, a middle-aged man walked in.
"Dad, I have to go to the Caijia and say it! Hey, are there customers at home?" After seeing Tang Lei, the middle-aged man stopped talking and asked the lame old man.
When Tang Lei saw the middle-aged man coming in, he quickly stood up. Although he was a little panicked, he still looked at the middle-aged man with a smile.
"A young man who lost his way, comes here to find relatives. When he is thirsty, he comes to ask for a bowl of water to drink." The lame old man replied.
"Hello, brother, this is my student ID. I came here to find relatives. When I got here, I got lost. I was tired and thirsty. The uncle saw that I was so pitiful, so he led me in to drink a bowl of water." Tang Lei stepped forward and explained with a smile.
Huang Aiguo took the certificate handed over by Tang Lei in confusion and read it, and asked, "I heard that your accent is not from us, where is your hometown?"
Without waiting for Tang Lei to answer, Huang Aiguo immediately said: "Oh! He is still a student of the National University!"
"I am from Jiangcheng." Tang Lei replied with a smile.
Tang Lei has been in Jiangcheng for seven or eight years, so he would also say Jiangcheng's accent.
"Ao, people from the city. My father said you are here to find relatives. Have you found them?" Huang Aiguo continued to ask.
"No, it's almost the Chinese New Year. I took advantage of the school holiday and came to look for it."
After Tang Lei pretended to be lonely, he turned around and asked, "Brother Patriotic, I came from Wu County, but I am a little confused and forgot how to walk back. Can you help me with the direction?"
"Oh, you set out at this time. I'm afraid you have to spend the night on the road at night. Let's set off tomorrow morning!" Huang Aiguo glanced at the sky outside and said to Tang Lei.
"But I'm here and there is no place to stay." Tang Lei said with a sad face.
"What's the matter with worrying about it? You'll have a night off at my house today. My house is big, and I'm going to go to Wu County tomorrow to do business, so I'll use a carriage to pull you there." Huang Aiguo said with a smile.
After hearing Huang Aiguo's words, Tang Lei's eyes instantly became bright. After pretending to look at the Shanghai brand watch in his hand, he raised his head and looked at Huang Aiguo thankfully and said:
"Brother Patriotic, it seems that I can't go back today, so I'm not polite. I'm so grateful for you, I'm sorry!"
"What's wrong with being embarrassed about!"
"My father is a party member, I am also a party member, and I am also the branch secretary of this village. How can I not reach out when I see you have difficulties?"
"Besides, it is still a blessing for you, a college student from the National University, to live in our house!"
"You people in the city are just thin-skinned." Huang Aiguo said a lot with a smile.
"I am indeed very grateful to my patriot brother!" Tang Lei said sincerely.
Huang Aiguo waved his hand repeatedly, returned the student ID to Tang Lei and said with a smile: "Is it called Tang Lei, right? Then I will call you Xiao Tang!"
"Xiao Tang, brother has to go to the village to do something. We will chat when I come back. You can take a break first."
"Brother Patriot, please be busy first!" Tang Lei said hurriedly.
After Huang Aiguo finished speaking, he turned to the lame old man and said, "Dad, please call Xiao Tang, I still have to go to Youcai's house."
