Chapter 11: No Future

Jiang He was quite obedient outside, and the surveillance probe escaped.

"This is called a traffic light. If the red light is on, it means you can't leave. If the green light is on, you can pass."

Xu Qing signaled the traffic lights at high places and continued to popularize science: "This is also the law. If you do not follow it, those cars will not be said to be dangerous, but will also violate the law. You must remember it carefully."

Two people, one tall and one short, stood in front of the traffic light, looking up at the countdown of the red light, with a solemn expression.

It looks like two fools.

For Xu Qing, who is used to staying at home to watch movies, it is quite interesting whether it is to take ancient people to popularize science or go shopping with girls. He took Jiang He to walk along the road, and his previously a little nervous mood has slowly relaxed.

Jiang He followed the side honestly, looking at the modern world silently. Everything on the street seemed novel to her, including street lights, green belts, shops along the street, and even when the car whistles.

"Who do you like?"

Before Xu Qing had forgotten the hair rope that he had put at noon, he stopped in front of a small stall on the street, looked at the small objects on it and asked Jiang He, "Do you like these...will you like them?"

He picked up a furry ear headdress and wanted to try it on Jiang He's head. After thinking for a while, he gave up his plan and just raised his hand to signal.

Just looking at the image, as long as she doesn't make a sound or move, she has become a modern person and does not need these decorations to add icing on the cake.

Jiang He still didn't say anything, glanced at the headdress on his hand, then looked at the stall and looked at each item carefully.

After waiting for a while, Xu Qing had already taken a fancy to a blue hair ring with two small and delicate butterflies on it. Seeing that Jiang He was just looking at it without movement, he picked it over and asked the stall owner for the price, scan the code to pay and handed it to Jiang He.

"That's it, it's good to tie your hair."

“…”

Jiang He took it and looked at it for a while, then reached out and tried to pull it out to understand the usage, and tied it directly to the back of his head.

The long hair was folded up, less tender and more capable than when it was loose. Xu Qing couldn't help but take a look, turned around and continued to walk forward.

As the night slowly enveloped, there were more pedestrians on the street, Xu Qing said a lot less. He turned into a home-cooked restaurant and sat in the corner with Jiang He, and asked the boss to order two fried cakes and a plate of cucumbers.

Jiangcheng’s fried cakes are a major feature. Cut the cake into thin strips and stir-fry with bean sprouts - some are also added with beans or cabbage, but the taste is the best when stir-frying the bean sprouts, and it is fragrant.

This kind of small shop not only tastes good, but also has a large amount. Xu Qing ate it since middle school and now graduated from college, and he also comes to eat it from time to time.

"This is the place to eat. I bought lunch here from here, and I also bought it yesterday. It's also the one who delivered it... I bought it from here and sent it to my house. I'll give him money."

The shop was filled with noise, and Xu Qing hurried in the corner and muttered to Jiang He in a low voice.

With his seat against the window, Jiang He still didn't respond when he looked at the gorgeous street scene outside with a complicated expression on his face.

The pedestrians passing by on the street, the twinkling neon lights, and the traffic on the road were so strange.

She is out of place.

Seeing that Jiang He was depressed, Xu Qing's voice became less and less. Finally, he kept silent and leaned on the back of the chair and looked at the heroine opposite the table.

If you can't go back, you will be alone in this world and still be a black household...

This means being unable to work, have no income, have no fixed place to live, cannot travel far, or even cannot get married, and can only stay in a small place to wander, or find a black factory to spend the rest of your life.

There is no future.

Unless she announces her identity and then accepts mercy, Xu Qing doesn't think Jiang He will be honest as a guinea pig. If she has a choice, she will not let others mercy even if she enters the primeval forest.

It was not until the boss brought the fried cakes to Jiang He that he withdrew his gaze. Xu Qing also looked away at the same time, pulled out two pairs of disposable chopsticks from the chopsticks, and handed them to Jiang He.

“Eat.”

"Um."

Jiang He made the first sound after leaving the house and buried his head in his meal.

Seeing that she was still used to eating, Xu Qing felt relieved, lowered her head and took a few bites before getting up, signaled to Jiang He who looked up, and took out a bottle of mineral water and a bottle of beer from the refrigerator next to her.

When he returned to the table, he pushed the mineral water in front of Jiang He, and opened the beer with chopsticks and poured it into the mouth of the bottle a few times to moisten his throat.

Leaving this female hero, the next thing is much more complicated than I imagined...

I can only take one step at a time.

Xu Qing, who was thinking about the matter, didn't even serve with garlic, took a few bites of fried cakes and drank a sip of wine. When Jiang He put down the chopsticks, the plate in front of him was empty. He took the last sip of beer and burped, and got up to check out the bill.

The two walked out of the store, and the lights were on outside, and the lights were on. The nightlife of modern cities had just begun. Neon lights flashed alternately, people came and went on the streets, and the noisy voices and the whistles of vehicles were mixed together to form a lively scene.

Xu Qing looked up at the night sky, breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled at Jiang He who was following the honestly.

"Let's go, go back."

...

I was speechless all the way. It was already 7:30 when I got home. The news broadcast had just ended. Xu Qing didn't care. After closing the door, he turned around and looked at Jiang He who had already sat on the sofa and didn't know what he was thinking. He thought about it and spoke.

"Do you believe it now?"

Jiang He moved his head when he heard this, raised his eyes and looked at him. After a moment of silence, he took out his iron dart from his waist and rubbed the scratches on it with his fingers.

"...But it's not a bad thing. Look, everyone is living and working in peace and contentment, enjoying life well, including fried cakes, coke, wine and computers, and don't worry about being chopped inexplicably... Oh, I still have to worry about this."

Xu Qing wanted to comfort her, but in a mess, she didn't know what she said. She stood at the door and was silent for a while, walked over and sat on the sofa together.

"To be honest, if you can solve the identity problem, you can enjoy a lot of things here that you can't enjoy before. Even if you rely on your strength to move bricks, you can live a relaxed and comfortable life. This is actually a good thing."

Life is just a few decades long, and you have to open your eyes when you sleep. It’s so tiring.

This prosperous era is different from the ancient times.

"I want to go home."

Jiang He held the iron dart slightly hard, and the tip of the dart was deeply trapped in his palm, feeling the pain.

Xu Qing sighed, "But you can't go back."

Jiang He was silent.

Only the clocks on the wall were ticking in the room, and the sound of cars occasionally came from outside the window, and you could hear a few coughs from the neighbors upstairs.

After a long time, Jiang He collapsed his shoulders, threw the iron dart in his hand on the table, lowered his head and said, "Why... how to solve the problem?"

"I am not from the government and I don't know much about it at the moment. There will always be a way to take it slowly. But first of all, you have to integrate into this society and not reveal your strength." Xu Qing looked at her and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will help you."

"Thank you, Young Master."

Jiang He clasped his fists, paused and said, "If it's too troublesome..."

“This is a must, identity is important.”

Xu Qing was so happy that she was so angry that she turned her head and looked at the table, then leaned over to look at the trash can, "Where is the piece of paper I sorted out yesterday?"

Jiang He blinked, "You were grouped together and threw it away."

"I know, it should be here." Xu Qing used his hand to pull the trash can twice.
