Chapter 002 Half amnesia?
"Then...I don't understand what you said."
Seeing that the old man with the goatee was still nagging at her, Bai Yuqi had no choice but to reply helplessly.
When they heard him speak, the old man with the goatee and the middle-aged man with the scarred face were startled, and then they said something cautiously, but at the same time, they couldn't communicate at all.
With no other choice, we had to give up verbal communication and start gesticulating instead.
The old man with a goatee pointed at the young woman holding Bai Yuqi and gestured to Bai Yuqi, as if to tell her to take care of him.
Bai Yuqi raised his head and looked at the young woman holding him. Seeing that she was avoiding his eyes with some fear, she nodded guessingly.
Because she was not used to being held, Bai Yuqi struggled for a while.
Finding himself wrapped in a shabby linen garment, he said to the young woman: "Let me down!"
Bai Yuqi knew that the other party could not understand what she was saying, so she made a point of pouting at the ground.
The young woman was stunned for a moment and looked at the old man with a goatee.
The old man with the goatee said something, and then she carefully knelt down, put Bai Yuqi down and helped him stand up.
Bai Yuqi tried and was able to stand. She took two careful steps and found that it was very stable.
It seemed that he had not lost the ability to move because his body had become smaller, so he took off the torn linen clothes wrapped around his body... and then quickly wrapped them up again.
Damn it! Where are my clothes?
Why did you dress naked during time travel?
Could it be that when it fell from the sky, it was blown away by the strong wind?
Maybe it was because it was inconvenient to see Bai Yuqi wrapped in Yang Tieniu's tattered gown, with most of it dragging on the ground.
Yang Zhao hesitated for a moment, then went into the house and took out a set of new and not old clothes for Bai Yuqi to change into.
Being stripped naked by a young woman made Bai Yuqi very shy.
Moreover, he seemed to have drank the other person's milk just now, and he was even blushing.
After changing into small clothes, it became easier to move around.
But it was obvious that the small clothes were made from other old clothes, and they seemed to be women's ones.
It is estimated that Mrs. Yang Zhao prepared it for her own daughter. Since her daughter was still in her infancy, she put it on Bai Yuqi first.
Bai Yuqi couldn't laugh or cry. Could he be considered a cross-dressing boss through time travel?
Fortunately, it was only a temporary emergency, because Bai Yuqi saw the old man with the goatee and asked someone to bring a piece of cloth to the young woman. If nothing else, it should be used to make clothes for him.
While the young woman was helping him change clothes, the villagers were also busy nearby.
The scar-faced middle-aged man and several young people helped repair the dilapidated thatched hut where the young woman had ventilation from all sides.
Several women cooked some food in earthen pots on an earthen stove built outside the house, poured it into earthenware bowls and held it respectfully in front of him.
Because there was no table or stool, Bai Yuqi could only sit in the young woman's thatched house, on a low couch made of earth, covered with some thatch and covered with a rag, stupidly holding a bird that was several times bigger than her own head.
Large circle of stoneware bowl.
The earthenware bowl contained porridge, which looked like millet. Although it was quite thick when cooked, there was a lot of bran mixed in it.
There was no food, and it seemed that the ancients had no intention of getting him a spoon or chopsticks. They probably didn't have any or didn't need them for porridge.
Under the strong onlookers of a group of ancient people, Bai Yuqi tried to take a sip, but she almost burst into tears. She wanted to throw the bowl away and shout that I want to go back. Time travel is not as fun as written in the novel!
It’s not that millet porridge is not delicious, porridge is made by boiling millet with water.
Although it has no taste, it still has the aroma of the grain itself. It tastes a little bland, but it is not unpalatable.
Look at how poor people's living conditions are. If you have a stutter, it's good. Why do you expect delicacies from the mountains and seas?
But the problem is that there is still bran mixed in this millet porridge. I don’t know if they didn’t sieve it thoroughly when pounding it, or they didn’t want to waste it and didn’t even bother to sift out the bran.
Anyway, after it was cooked and mixed with millet, taking a sip was like eating a mouthful of sand. Bai Yuqi couldn't swallow it and cut her throat.
After finally stretching her neck and swallowing, Bai Yuqi wanted to ask them for a toothpick. Those brats were so stuffed with teeth that they still had all their teeth even though he had become smaller.
After reluctantly drinking a little, Bai Yuqi felt sour. He held the bowl and looked at the group of ancient people surrounding him in embarrassment.
But he saw the "nanny" who was holding the little girl secretly swallowing her saliva. When she saw him looking at her, she quickly turned her face away, her neck turning red with embarrassment.
"I can't eat anymore, so I'll give it to you!"
You can tell when you see the environment of this thatched house and the thin figure of the young wet nurse.
She probably couldn't even eat this kind of bran porridge, so Bai Yuqi stretched out her short hands and handed the stoneware bowl to her.
I almost thought she was a "new mother" just now, and when I woke up I was fed by her again... Well, I should reciprocate the favor.
But the "nanny" held the little girl and shook her head in panic. The old man with a goatee and the middle-aged man with a scarred face said something to her, and then she shyly took the pottery bowl and hid.
The old man with the goatee and the middle-aged man with the scarred face chattered and gestured at Bai Yuqi for a while, then bowed and exited the thatched hut and dispersed with the group of villagers, presumably leaving him to be taken care of by the nanny.
Seeing them leaving, Bai Yuqi lay down on the earth couch and began to sort out what happened and think about what to do in the future.
If his guess is correct, the reason why he traveled through time was probably caused by the strange thick book that was thrown into the alley by someone.
But after wearing it, there is no point in looking further to see if that bastard threw this time-travel medium around. He has become completely separated from the original world and people.
As for the memory before the time travel, I don’t know if it was because my head hit the ground first during the time travel or for some other reason.
Apart from remembering that his name is "Bai Yuqi", he can't remember any information about himself, as if he has lost his memory. Family, friends, relatives... it's all a blank!
But other than that, he happened to remember everything about the world before he traveled through it very clearly.
This half-amnesia situation made Bai Yuqi extremely panicked and confused. On the contrary, she was not too shocked by the time travel itself and naturally accepted this fact.
Unless he could travel back in time, given the medical conditions in this ancient world, it would be almost impossible for him to retrieve his lost memories.
But the chance of being able to travel back in time is obviously infinitely close to zero, so we can only take it as it comes and find a way to survive in this ancient time before making any plans.
