I Played the whole world by Myself - Chapter 188
Chapter 188: The drowning man who came to look for his relatives.
The dizziness in his brain began to slowly dissipate, and his five senses gradually returned to his body.
But what was slightly different this time was that as soon as he woke up, he heard a “plop” in his ears.
Then the whole person was submerged in the water and was at a loss…
The cold water covered his whole body, causing him to wake up completely with a jolt. When he opened his eyes, he was shocked to find that he had appeared in the lake and was slowly sinking.
Blue waves rippled above the head, and a sun slowly spread out in the water waves like an ink painting.
”Falled into the water?” He
had to find a good place before the next flashback…
but this little water couldn’t drown him, so after the initial daze, he immediately reacted and prepared to use water spells to fly out.
But at this moment, with his keen senses, he heard shouts from the water.
It was a local dialect in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which was not unfamiliar to him as a local, and the person who heard the voice calling for help seemed to be a young girl, very anxious.
”Grandpa! Grandpa! Come on! Someone jumped into the lake and committed suicide!”
Jumped into the lake and committed suicide?
Lu Chen looked around in confusion, trying to save someone.
I just looked around and saw no second person jumping down.
Suddenly he was stunned for a moment and then he came to his senses with a strange look on his face.
”Isn’t it me who’s telling you?”
Damn it, I’ve become a fool who committed suicide!
But he quickly got an idea, and instead of continuing to use magic to escape, he pretended to be a drowning person and began to dance and struggle in panic.
Soon, he felt an old man jumping into the water with a splash on the shore above.
The other party had good water skills. Although he looked older, he was more agile than a fish in the water and swam near him in no time.
However, he did not approach rashly. It seemed that the other party was very experienced and knew that rescuing people who fell into the water could easily get entangled and then get him in.
So the old man just walked around behind Lu Chen, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him to the shore.
Not long after, we quickly reached the shore.
There was a little girl of about 12 or 13 years old with pigtails on the shore, who reached out and pulled him up.
The old man also climbed up to the shore, took off his somewhat worn mandarin jacket, twisted it, and shook the water stains on his head.
Lu Chen continued to pretend that he was not very good at water. He lay on the ground and spit out a few mouthfuls of water. Then he slowly got up in embarrassment. He seemed to be still in shock and gasped for air.
”Thank you very much for your help!”
He cupped his fists and bowed gratefully.
The old man didn’t say anything, but the little girl smiled and said: “It’s okay, we just happened to come here to wash clothes. We happened to see you falling into the water and rescued you. My grandfather has been holding on by the river for decades. It’s a boat with good water properties.”
The little girl was wearing braids and looked young and cute. However, I don’t know if it was due to malnutrition, which made her complexion sallow and slightly thin.
It can also be seen from the clothes that these two people are not rich, and they are not very well dressed. The people here who are willing to save themselves are indeed simple people.
He looked around again.
I saw that all the high-rise buildings and modern electrical appliances around me had disappeared, leaving only antique buildings and streets, as well as passers-by wearing clothes with distinctive characteristics of the times.
At this moment, he had a real feeling of traveling back to ancient times.
Although it is still a bit incredible.
I think you should take a look at mtlfanfic.com
”Is this more than four hundred years ago…”
It’s different from the ones you see through the screen in TV series. The ones here are more lifelike, the colors are more realistic, and there is an earthy smell in the air mixed with the aroma from nowhere. There is no trace of modern industry. .
Just as he was looking around curiously, the old man suddenly looked at him and asked, “Sir, are you from out of town?”
Lu Chen turned around and smiled shyly: “Not bad.”
The other party said cheerfully: ” I knew it just by your accent. Why, it’s your first time in this city. You’ve never seen such a big world, right? Next time, don’t be dazzled and fall into the water again.”
Lu Chen smiled slightly awkwardly, I thought that if I saw a modern high-rise building, I would be really scared and faint.
”By the way, I don’t know what to call you two? I don’t know how to repay this life-saving grace.”
”My grandfather’s name is Xu Guang, my name is Xu Yulan, we…”
”Silly girl, why do you talk so fast. You don’t even know me, so why are you talking so much?”
The old man covered the little girl’s mouth, scolded him, then turned to Lu Chen and said, “You’re welcome, it’s good to be living well these days, sir. Go back, your clothes don’t look like ordinary people. If you wander around here, if you encounter someone with evil intentions, I will tie you up carefully.” It can be
seen that the old man is still a little wary of him.
But Lu Chen didn’t mind. If he had a heart-to-heart talk right after they met, it would be like rubbing his brain on the ground.
Just when he heard the other party’s name, his heart moved slightly.
Then immediately made a happy expression.
”It turns out that the two of you are also surnamed Xu, so we are from this family! I am Xu Xian, with Chinese characters. My ancestors were originally from the Yuhang area.” “Back then, my ancestors decided to leave their
hometown and go out to work hard. However, although they saved tens of thousands of dollars, they died of illness early. Now I am the only one left. After careful consideration, I decided to return to my hometown to find my ancestors, which can be regarded as a return to my roots.”
He sighed with emotion, vividly expressing his feeling of being more timid about being close to his hometown.
”Xu Xian? Hmm, never heard of it.”
The old man was stunned and looked him up and down, a little doubtful.
”What a coincidence.”
Lu Chen didn’t worry, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and thrust it into the old man’s hand with his dull eyes.
”This is a little kindness, and it can be regarded as a reward for saving my life. Old sir, please accept it with joy!” ”
In addition, I would like to ask you two to lead the way. I want to find the patriarch of our Xu family so that I can return. Genealogy, so as not to be reduced to an outsider.”
With money to intervene, the old man’s attitude changed instantly and he immediately beamed.
He carefully hid the silver in his arms. It turned out that there were several small cloth bags sewn inside the mandarin jacket, and there seemed to be a few copper coins hidden in them. This thick ingot of silver bulged instantly when it was hidden inside.
But the old man didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, his face burst into laughter.
”It’s easy to talk. Master, please come with me, I will take you to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan!!!”
As if he was afraid that Lu Chen would regret it and take back the money, he immediately walked quickly to lead the way.
The little girl followed him and asked happily: “Grandpa, how much money is that?” ”
Shh, you stupid girl! Keep your voice down!”
The old man hurriedly covered her mouth and glanced at her warily. The people passing by felt like they were sneaky thieves, and they didn’t dare to relax: “Don’t say more, I’ll buy you some candies later.”
He weighed it himself, and it felt like he had a hundred taels!
But he has never seen so much money in his life. He can’t believe it. Now when he steps on the ground, it feels like he’s stepping on cotton. He feels dizzy and wants to go back immediately to see if it’s true or not.
