Chapter 407 Awakening from a Dream, Returning to Modern Times(1/2)

There is a mountain cave outside the Northeast Pass. Half of the sky is already dark. It is late autumn and the sunset is much more than usual.

"Originally, after taking the bride as planned, he returned smoothly. At this time, he should have entered the pass on the way to Xianyang. The army did not plan to spend the winter outside the pass, so he had not prepared winter supplies. Once it started snowing, rescue would probably be even more hopeless, so we could only rely on ourselves. We must keep moving west and south so that we can enter the pass before the heavy snow blocks the road!" Although Meng Yi frowned, his tone was very firm.

"With General Meng Yi here, I'm not afraid of anything." Yu Shu said.

"General Meng, I will go nearby to pick up the branches and firewood, so I will bother you and Concubine Li to get water next to the water source just now." Zhang Jin said.

Meng Yi said: "I can just go to get water alone. Concubine Li has worked hard for a long time and should have a good rest."

Zhang Jin said again: "Then this pheasant..."

"I'll wash it. How could Concubine Li's noble body do such a thing?" Meng Yi held both the water capsule and the pheasant in his hand.

Zhang Jin was not surprised at all. At first, he felt a little embarrassed by the general's behavior, and he felt a little embarrassed. At first, he held his forehead and stomped his feet, and felt that he was so angry that he was not as good as steel. Now, he is used to it.

Fortunately, although Meng Yi seemed straight and unconfused due to the constraints of various ideas, Yu Shu on the side was able to cleverly use Zhang Jin's words to create various opportunities to get close. Although he was cautious and casual, it was enough to make Zhang Jin happy.

If both men and women are wood against stones, or pretend to be stupid, then what else can he do? Fan, ignite, add fire, and cover all by one person. Is it interesting? Are you tired?

Meng Yi left his sword to protect Yu Shu, turned around and walked towards the stream.

Zhang Jin glanced at Yu Shu at a slant and said, "Concubine Li, I'll do things first."

"Zhang Jin..." Yu Shu suddenly called him.

"What instructions does Concubine Li have?" Zhang Jin turned around and asked.

"Thank you!" Yu Shu said softly.

"Ah?" Zhang Jin was stunned and looked at Yu Shu in confusion.

Yu Shu said softly in a tone: "Thank you for everything you have done, I see it."

After contact these days, he found that Yu Shu was a beautiful woman. Has his little assist been noticed?

The other party did not say it clearly, and Zhang Jin could only say calmly: "Why should Concubine Li thank you? This is what a villain should do."

Yu Shu sighed softly: "I would have done this too, General Meng Yi."

"..." Zhang Jin lowered his head and did not respond. This kind of thing was not easy to talk about. After all, his current identity was too far from Meng Yi and Yu Shu. No matter how the other party viewed him, his subordinates were always not good about Shangguan.

"You go and go, busy," Yu Shu said.

Zhang Jin bowed and turned to walk into the mountains and forests. Of course, he didn't have to go too far to pick up the dry firewood branches. He walked away every time just to provide the two with the opportunity to get along alone.

By the stream, Meng Yi squatted on the stone and plucked the feathers in his hand to clean the pheasant. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from behind him. When he turned his head and saw that it was Yu Shu, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Concubine Li, why are you here?"

"General Meng Yi, I'm here to get water to drink." Yu Shu walked to the front of him and smiled slightly.

"It's the last general's negligence. He should send the water bag back first." Meng Yi said.

"It's okay." Yu Shu squatted down by the stream, rolled up her sleeves and stretched out her hand towards the stream.

"Concubine Li is careful of Shui Han!" Meng Yi, who had been watching her every move, quickly reminded.

"It's so cold!" Yu Shu shrank his hand in a low voice, but soon reached into the stream and stirred and played.

The ice-skinned skin, the white wrists are better than snow. The slender five fingers are gathered together, and a handful of clear water is scooped from the stream, and then the water flows back into the stream through the gaps of fingers and palms.

Under the last ray of sunset, water droplets slide down from the skin, shining, and have an extremely breathtaking beauty!

"General Meng Yi, General Meng Yi!?"

A call made Meng Yi suddenly come to his senses: "Ah?! What instructions does Concubine Li give?"

"General Meng Yi, I will bring these water bags back first."

"I'm sorry for Concubine Li." Meng Yi nodded.

Yu Shu smiled slightly, picked up the water bag on the ground next to him, and turned around and walked towards the camp.

Meng Yi looked at Yu Shu's departure back, looked at the place where the other party had squatted down just now, shook his head, and looked serious, and continued to clean up the pheasant in his hand.

After walking in the mountains and forests, Zhang Jin had already cleaned up a bundle of dead branches that made fire, and was lucky enough to find several wild thorn berries. This widely grown wild mountain fruit is sweet and sour, with burrs on the surface, and has good nutritional value. You can eat raw or make wine. This is something I heard from colleagues from the north before, but I didn’t expect to have the opportunity to taste it.

Zhang Jin saw that there was nothing on his body that could contain wild fruits, so he simply took off his helmet to accommodate wild fruits. He picked up several thorn berries. The red wild fruits on his helmet looked very appetizing.

Just as he was in a good mood and was about to walk back, he suddenly felt dizzy in his mind, as if the sky was spinning, and he suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Bang! The helmet fell from his hand, and the thorn berries inside were sprinkled all over the floor.

"Damn, no, time is up?" He covered his head and turned over on the ground, allowing himself to lie down in the most comfortable position.

...

"ah……"

A pleasant sound of stretching alarmed William who was searching for information. He turned his head and looked into the room and found that the sleeping Jack had already sat up on the bed. So he walked into the bedroom and asked, "Jack, how do you feel when you wake up? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Yes, my whole body is uncomfortable, especially the neck, which hurts so much." Jack said while rubbing his neck.

"How could this happen? You just took a little sleeping pill, and this shouldn't happen."

"It's not your fault. If you put me out of the bathtub and you can't help you sleep. You don't have to put your pillow on it, so I have to be stiff!" Jack said angrily.

William spread his hands and said, "You didn't tell me in advance, how did I know?"

"If you don't say so much, help me get a bottle of potion in the drawer next to me to wipe it." Jack pointed to the low cabinet beside the bed and said, "By the way, is Ah Jin awake?"

William looked at the living room while taking the medicine: "Not yet, I guess I'll have to wait a while. Why don't you tell me if you saw him in your dream? If he could really return to the Qin Dynasty, you were really the General Meng Yi in your previous life, and he should be indispensable in your memory."

"Point to the left, yes, it's here. First pour it on the palm of your hand and rub it evenly and apply it to me." Jack reminded his friends to help apply the medicine while recalling the scene in his dream, "Hey, don't say it, I really saw A Jin in my dream. He was a participant, and he followed me and Princess Yushu to return to Daqin with great difficulty."

"Hey, so magical? Tell me your story!" William was very interested.

"I dreamed that I floated up from the river and rescued the unconscious Princess Yu Shu from the river..." Jack's eyes were out of focus, and his face showed a look of memories, and he murmured to himself.

Zhang Jin woke up from sleep, opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the boathouse. After a while, he turned over and sat up, turned his head and looked inside, and found that Jack and William were both in the bedroom on the second floor, so he got up and took three cans of beer in front of the refrigerator, and then walked towards the bedroom.

Walking outside the studio, climbing the stairs to the bedroom on the second floor, you will hear Jack saying something there.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Zhang Jin distributed the beer in his hand to the two of them.

"It's nothing, I'm talking about Jack's dream. Hello, Jin, have you really returned to the Qin Dynasty? Jack said that he saw you in his dream, what princess do you bring with you..."

"Princess Yushu, Concubine Li of the Great Qin." Zhang Jin said.

"Yes, Princess Yushu. You three cross the mountains and rivers together and return to Daqin, is that true?" William said.

Scream! Jack opened a can of beer and took two sips before saying, "I said so much just now, and I was so dry that I was talking. You don't believe me?"

"Believe in faith, of course I believe in you! I just want to verify it from multiple sources. You also know that I am a scientist. If you want to draw correct conclusions in scientific experiments, it is impossible to believe the results of the experiment only once." William explained.

Zhang Jin sat on the wooden board beside the bed, took a sip of beer, and smiled and said, "Otherwise, Jack and I will verify each other, and you will know if it is true."

"Okay, meeting each other in ancient times and gathering in modern times is very exciting!" William agreed.

Jack asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Jin suggested: "It's better to talk about the incident when we used the vine rope to sweep across the mountain valley."

Jack recalled a little, then patted his thigh and said, "I remember this. When it comes to this, the most impressive thing is a word--"

"Hold the pressure!" Zhang Jin and Jack said in unison.

After saying that, the two couldn't help laughing.

"Hanging the Wild?" William was confused, "What's so funny about this?"

"A Jin said a word 'hanged the wire' at that time. I, that is, the ancient general, don't know what it means. Looking back now, this is the evidence that A Jin really returned to the Qin Dynasty." Jack said.

William looked at Zhang Jin in surprise: "I suddenly became interested in the technology of time and space travel, and it seemed to be more interesting than the research on anti-gravity!"

"Uh..." Zhang Jin didn't expect William to have this idea. "I advise you to continue to study your anti-gravity technology. At least you have found the direction. Time and space travel is not as simple as you think. Don't ask me, I'm not a scientist, and I can't explain the principle of this."

"Hey, don't say so much. I slept in bed for nearly twelve hours. It's already half past ten in the evening. It's the main thing to get something to fill my stomach." Jack said, covering his croaking stomach.

"I don't know when you woke up, so I didn't prepare anything to eat." William spread his hands.

"I just saw the refrigerator, except beer, only eggs are left." Zhang Jin said.

Jack got up and walked towards the bathroom next to him: "I can only go out for midnight snacks. I'll go take a shower and change my clothes first, and you guys wait."

"We're waiting for you in the living room." Zhang Jin said, and signaled William to go downstairs with his eyes.

The two came to the living room, and Jack had already washed up in the bathroom.

Zhang Jin sat on the sofa and asked, "Have you contacted Mengqi?"

“Contacted.”

"How did she react?"

William turned his head and looked at the second floor before saying, "I just revealed the news about Qinhuang Tiangong. Not long after, she called me again and asked me for an email, saying that she wanted to contact you directly."

"Very good, it proves that the fish has taken the bait." Zhang Jin smiled faintly.

William asked, "Is the deposit of two million US dollars too expensive? I'm afraid Professor Gu will not be fooled at all."

"It's too cheap. I'm afraid Professor Gu will pay directly. Will we not give it to him or not? If he doesn't give it, Professor Gu will be more cautious after suffering losses, so it will be difficult for us to find another opportunity to cheat most of his stolen money." Zhang Jin said.

"What if Professor Gu is not deceived?"

"No, Professor Gu will definitely be fooled. With his greedy desire for Qin Emperor's treasure, how could a mere two million US dollars stop him?"
