Chapter 1 Tofu Beauty
Daliang, Yingzhou, Leshou County.
It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.
A steaming heat wave enveloped the entire city.
In the southeast corner of the county town, under the ochre-colored city wall , pedestrians are lazily walking on a bluestone street that is more than ten feet wide.
Shops and roadside stalls along the street; the bustling hawking; the aroma of steamed cakes diffused in the air; the hotel waiter shouted enthusiastically: "Sir, please come in..."
puff!
Suddenly, a young man about eight feet tall and wearing a Confucian robe fell straight to the ground and lay on his back in the middle of the street, with dust flying everywhere.
"That nerd Su Xian fainted again!" A passerby shouted, and instantly surrounded him in three layers.
"Why does Suhyun always faint?"
"Why else? It's tofu."
"This nerd, I've already asked him to move away..."
“…”
Su Xian lay on the street unable to move, and her body seemed not to belong to her.
My head felt like it had been hit hard by a hammer and it felt like it was broken open.
My mouth felt as if I had swallowed a flaming mountain; it was dry and thirsty and unbearable.
Confused and drowsy.
"Wasn't I looking for information at the provincial library? How come... it seems like I fell on the way home..."
Su Xian slowly regained consciousness and thought drowsily, "I fell so hard, why didn't anyone come to help me?"
I don’t know how much time has passed.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the azure sky, but the blazing sun was very blinding. He subconsciously tried to block it with his hands, but found that he couldn't even move his fingers...
After his body recovered a little, he twisted his neck with great effort and found a group of people in ancient costumes gathered together, pointing and whispering.
Are you here on the set?
Or was this a prank by someone?
"Su Xian is awake!" Everyone was horrified when they noticed that he turned his head, and took a step back as if they were avoiding the god of plague.
"The nerd has been defeated, everyone please don't go over there!"
"Mom..." A child was so scared that he ran straight into his mother's arms.
“…”
Su Xian moved his lips, but no sound came out.
So what is this, acting?
Or travel through time?
He is feeling uncomfortable all over and feels like he is about to die, but this group of people are not coming to rescue him. It seems the situation is not good.
He wanted to shout "Help", but he opened his mouth but no sound came out.
Who can come and give me a hand?
I want to go to the hospital!
Help!
Finally, a burly man slowly approached. He looked like a butcher and kept looking back every few steps.
Su Xian was relieved that someone finally came to help.
"Hu the Butcher, you fool, aren't you afraid of death? Come back quickly!"
"I'm strong and have a lot of yang energy, so I'm not afraid!"
Having said that, Hu the butcher approached, took a quick look, turned around and ran back, saying to everyone: "The nerd must be thirsty, his lips are chapped. By the way, the weather today is extremely hot..."
After hearing this, Su Xian's lips moved slightly. He was indeed very thirsty!
But after waiting for a long time, no one brought water, which made him depressed. So, did the butcher say nonsense?
But he could only twist his neck and couldn't make any sound...
After a while, an old man walked out from the crowd tremblingly, holding a coarse porcelain bowl in his hand.
Su Xian caught a glimpse of the clear water splashing from the coarse porcelain bowl, and hope rekindled in his heart. This old man had a kind face and looked like a good person!
"Don't go, old man. Come back quickly. It's dangerous!" Someone grabbed the old man's hand.
"Don't worry, I'm already seventy years old, and Tofu Xishi can't beat me. I watched Su Xian grow up, and his parents entrusted him to me before they died..."
After all, the old man came tremblingly, holding a coarse porcelain bowl in his hand and sprinkling it as he walked. It was such a waste.
Su Xian's dry and chapped lips kept moving as he imagined the pleasure of sweet spring water flowing down his throat.
However, this old man walks really slowly...
Finally close!
His wrinkled old face looked extremely kind. He slowly squatted down and prepared to feed him water.
Su Xian was so moved that she wanted to cry. It seems that the old man is kind-hearted!
"Tofu Xishi is out!"
At this moment, a sudden loud shout came like a bolt from the blue.
The old man's half-crouching body suddenly stiffened. He turned his head to look to the side and saw the coarse porcelain bowl hovering a foot away from him.
Su Xian swallowed saliva wildly, staring at the bowl with his eyes fixed.
"The Tofu Beauty has appeared... wow, everyone, run!"
"Wait for me, you heartless person, wait for me..."
“…”
I could hear the howling of ghosts and wolves, as well as the sound of disorderly footsteps fading away.
Su Xian thought to himself that he was in trouble.
As expected, the old man, at the age of seventy, burst out at the speed of a 100-meter sprint and disappeared from Su Xian's sight in the blink of an eye!
As for the coarse porcelain bowl...
Su Xian watched it make a perfect "free fall" and then heard the sound of porcelain shattering.
Su Xian was so angry!
He really wanted to curse loudly, what a tofu beauty, for making him miss the chance to have that bowl of sweet water!
Just as I was feeling extremely angry, the light in front of me suddenly dimmed.
Looking closely, I found that there was a person squatting beside me, wearing a white gauze hat. Through the white gauze, I could vaguely see that it was a woman!
The most important point is that she was holding a large blue and white porcelain bowl in her hands.
Water!
Su Xian's lips, which were almost smoking, opened wide.
The woman slowly placed the large bowl on the ground, then lifted the white gauze of her veil to both sides and fastened it to the brim.
At this moment, Su Xian's already wide-open mouth expanded again, and his already dull eyes became three points brighter.
This woman is actually a very, very... very beautiful woman!
I saw——
She has a face like a hibiscus and a mouth like a cherry, and her smile is so charming.
Peach blossom eyes, frowning brows, washing clothes and silk belts in ecstasy.
The most important thing is her skin, which is as white, tender and smooth as silk, her facial features are delicate and she has amazing beauty. Su Xian "bathed" in her beauty and forgot about his thirst... and even had some extra liquid.
Su Xian had seen countless beauties on the Internet. Although her face was exquisite, it lacked a sense of reality. The one in front of him... was the best! The legendary "food grade"!
"do not be afraid."
The woman's voice is just like her personality, gentle as an older sister.
The woman leaned down, held Su Xian's head with one hand, picked up the large blue and white porcelain bowl with the other hand, and slowly moved closer.
Gulp!
Gulp!
Su Xian swallowed the sweet spring water in big gulps.
His dry and chapped lips were irrigated like dry land.
The cool water, like melted ice and snow, extinguished the sparks in my throat.
"Drink slowly, don't be anxious, there's more..." the woman coaxed softly.
The dry mouth symptoms were relieved, and his mind became clearer. Su Xian couldn't help but think: "Tofu Xishi, could this woman be the Tofu Xishi they are talking about?"
"She looks fine, but why... um, wait, did I travel through time? Or did I encounter a prank? Someone tell me!"
“…”
After drinking the last sip of water, waves of fatigue came over me like a tide, irresistible.
Su Xian's eyes went dark and he fell asleep instantly.
…
I don’t know how much time has passed.
“Ah…Help!”
Su Xian woke up from a nightmare and sat up immediately, with cold sweat covering his head and face.
He took a few deep breaths and wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeves.
"Huh? Why are the sleeves so long?!"
"And these clothes, this quilt, this...room!"
He threw back the quilt and got out of bed, looking around the room blankly.
Lacquered wood carved furniture; lake green embroidered bed curtains; artistic flower and bird paintings hanging on the walls; and wooden cabinets and shelves with...handicrafts?
Wait, there's a dresser there?
Su Xian walked over and took a closer look. There was a bronze mirror standing on the dressing table. The mirror was smooth but the image was not very clear.
Below the bronze mirror is an exquisite small box that looks like a dressing table.
There was an exquisite comb on the table. When I picked it up, I saw a piece of black hair entangled between the teeth of the comb...
"Did I really travel through time?"
Putting down the comb, Su Xian said to himself: "If I really traveled through time, why don't I have the original owner's memories?"
"That's right, just look in the mirror and you'll understand!"
He took the bronze mirror off the dressing table, held it in his hands, and looked left and right.
The image was not distorted, but it was not very clear. However, it could be seen from it that he had a handsome face like a beautiful woman, and his complexion was a little pale...
Fortunately, his eyebrows were as sharp as a knife, which looked heroic and restored some masculinity for him.
"This face is very different from the previous one..."
Su Xian was holding a bronze mirror and looking at his own reflection when the door was suddenly opened and two women walked in, one after the other.
The one in front is so beautiful that she is bursting with beauty. She is the tofu beauty who fed him water.
As for the woman behind...she has a waist as big as a bucket and a face full of fat, but I have never seen her before.
"Mr. Su, what are you doing..."
Tofu Xishi was stunned. She glanced at the bronze mirror that Su Xian was holding in front of her, and then looked at him.
The tomboy behind also had a strange look on her face.
"Uh...you..."
Su Xian was basically certain that he had indeed traveled through time.
He had once had the immature fantasy of traveling back to ancient times, roaming the world, unifying the country, and living a shameless life with a group of wives and concubines.
But now he is very uncomfortable.
"Your mirror." Su Xian's emotions were in turmoil and he wanted to put it back on the dressing table.
"I dare not trouble you, sir. Let me do it." Tofu Xishi came over with a smile and took the bronze mirror with both hands.
concubine?!
She actually called herself a concubine!!
Su Xian felt like he was struck by lightning. His heart beat faster and he wondered if this tofu beauty was his...wife?
His emotions were already fluctuating, so without any deep thought, he rashly assumed that Tofu Xishi calling herself a "concubine" meant that she was his wife.
In that case...Su Xian looked around the room.
Well, it shows that the family is quite wealthy. This furniture and bed curtains are obviously not something that ordinary people can enjoy.
He had just woken up and felt a little weak. After standing for a while, he felt a little tired, so he walked to the gorgeous embroidered couch and sat down. It was so soft!
Tofu Xishi had just put the bronze mirror away and turned around to see him sitting down.
Swish!
In an instant, her face flushed, but she didn't say anything more and even held back the female man who wanted to step forward to stop her.
"Is Mr. Su feeling better now? Why did he suddenly faint ?" asked Tofu Beauty.
puff!
Su Xian collapsed on the large embroidered couch in a "big" shape and said in confusion: "I don't know, I can't remember a lot of things, I feel like I have lost my memory!"
For now, pretending to have amnesia is the best solution.
