On the bank of the Bian River, in a shop called Shiqianjiao, a thin young man was rummaging through a cloth bag.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside, and Zhang Shixun pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he entered, he said, "Wang Dong, I was taking shelter from the rain under the gatehouse last night and met a woman."
"Woman?" Wang Dong raised his head. "You and this woman hid from the rain under the gatehouse all night?"
"Yes." Zhang Shixun briefly recounted what happened last night.
Wang Dong saw that he was talking with great joy, so he asked, "What kind of woman is it that makes you lose your soul?"
"She is very beautiful."
"How beautiful is she?" Wang Dong was immediately curious when he heard him say "very" twice in a row.
"Let me put it this way, my heart was pounding the moment I saw her."
Wang Dong asked with a smile: "Is it a pounding heart or lust? Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference."
"Of course my heart is pounding. Don't think the worst of me."
"Haha!" Wang Dong took out a bracelet from his cloth bag. "We're almost out of money, and I was thinking of selling some of the things I brought with me."
Zhang Shixun took the bracelet and looked at it. "Glass should be worth a lot of money in this era."
"You're mistaken. It's not made of glass, but fluorite. The main component is calcium fluoride. Of course, it's not natural, but an industrial product... Do you know what its properties are?"
"I'm not a woman and have never touched jewelry." Zhang Shixun looked at the bracelet in his hand over and over again. The bracelet was made with beautiful craftsmanship, inlaid with patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects. It was colorful and beautiful, but apart from that, there was nothing special about it.
Wang Dong took out a small green watermelon, tossed it in his hand and said, "What do you think of this thing? I gave it a nice name, Night-Shining Jade Melon."
Zhang Shixun glanced at the thing and curled his lips and said, "It's still a street vendor product, and the name is so vulgar."
Wang Dong looked at him with disdain and said, "Given your limited knowledge and pitiful IQ, let me tell you, this kind of thing would have been priceless if brought to the Song Dynasty... Have you heard of the Night Pearl?"
"Night-shining pearl? I've heard of that." Zhang Shixun took the small watermelon and looked at it, but didn't see any glow.
"This thing is what the ancients called a night-shining pearl. If you look at it during the day, of course you can't see what it is. Only in the dark or at night can its brilliance be revealed."
"Oh! No wonder, it turned out to be this thing. No wonder." Zhang Shixun threw the small watermelon to him. "What are you going to do?"
"It's simple. Find a jewelry store and sell it for silver."
Zhang Shixun said, "Let's go to Jieshen, which is the most upscale commercial street in Tokyo."
On the way to Jieshen, Zhang Shixun glanced at Wang Dong and said, "Old Wang, I have a question for you."
Wang Dong said with a straight face, "We made a gentleman's agreement before we traveled through time. You don't ask me where I came from, and I won't ask you where you're going."
"Haha! I don't intend to inquire about your mysterious identity. I just want to know where that time-space shuttle came from. It's simply ahead of its time, truly amazing."
Wang Dong sneered, "Don't beat around the bush. Some secrets I'll tell you naturally when the time comes; some secrets I'll never tell you... I remind you again, don't violate the gentleman's agreement between us."
Zhang Shixun had no choice but to put aside his curiosity and said, "Okay, I will abide by the agreement. I will never ask any questions about anything you don't tell me.
Wang Dong has too many secrets.
The reason why Zhang Shixun was able to travel to the Song Dynasty was thanks to Wang Dong. This guy actually had a time machine.
They took that time-space shuttle to the Song Dynasty.
Zhang Shixun didn't remember that there were time and space machines in the 21st century, and had never heard of them.
Over the past few days, he had speculated about Wang Dong's identity countless times, whether he was an alien, a person from a parallel space, or a person from the future... In short, he had thought of everything he could think of, but he just couldn't get any confirmation from Wang Dong.
This made him feel itchy and itchy. It was too tormenting.
The two walked forward along the bustling Imperial Street. Wang Dong said as they walked, "Shixun, I'm not good at dealing with people. From now on, I'll leave all the external affairs to you."
"What are you doing?"
"I am content to enjoy the life of the ancients."
"How do you enjoy it? Tell me."
"Marry several wives and concubines, have a lot of children, and then live a life of idleness and wait for death."
Oh my god!
Zhang Shixun stopped moving, his face filled with disbelief. "You traveled to the Song Dynasty just to live like a pig?"
"Yeah! That's about right." Wang Dong pushed him and said, "Don't just stand there. Go sell the stuff quickly. If we don't sell it within three days, we'll have to sleep on the street."
Zhang Shixun stood there motionless, raising his voice and saying, "If you want to travel back to the Song Dynasty and be a pig, that's your freedom. But, there are so many people on Earth, why did you choose me?"
"I didn't choose you specifically. I just happened to meet you and thought you were a nice person, so I brought you here. What's the problem?"
“No more.”
"I have a lot of advanced technology that can help you thrive here and live a life of luxury. If you have lofty ambitions and want to become a high-ranking official or even an emperor, I can help you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shixun quickly covered his mouth, looked around, and whispered, "Old Wang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want... Don't you see where we are? If someone hears you and reports you to the authorities, you'll be beheaded."
Wang Dong laughed, "Hey, no one can kill us here."
