Chapter 19: Everitt III
ns out, requires your full attention. Jing Cun's mind kept wandering, his judgement lagging behind. The opponent lunged with a spear, and Jing Cun instinctively blocked. Only then did he realize he h...When he actually came into contact with the cold water, that icy well water gushing into his nose and ears, Ye Youxiao couldn't help but feel a panic. His two hands also immediately scratched wildly. Luckily, the pool wasn't large. He quickly scratched to the stone by the edge of the pool and then stood up. 。
Yes, I'm standing firm on the ground.
This pool, it's really not easy to drown in.
Since that's the case, what are you still afraid of If successful, just travel back in time and be a good student. If unsuccessful, so what At worst, this little life is... Eh What do I have in my hand
It feels like there's a coin in his hand. Ye Youxiao hurriedly spread his palm, and under the faint moonlight, Ye Youxiao stared blankly at the thing in his hand, tears welling up in his eyes——this was really a coin, and it was a golden five-cent coin! This is... This is a modern Chinese coin!
Even if I drown myself and become a white bone in the Song Dynasty, it's better than being a lowly person now, or even being eaten alive!
But... just my heart pounding, and I'm back!
Cowards can't travel through time!
I've heard all kinds of magical legends about this five-cent coin before >>> 。There's a saying that if you throw it into a corner, even to a place you wouldn't expect, you'll lose five cents. 。But you have good fortune. 。Your fortune will bring you an endless supply of five-cent coins. 。Ye Youxiao certainly didn't believe the latter part of this statement. 。But some people believe it! Fortunately, fortunately, thanks to this believer who seeks wealth. Your five cents actually traveled back a thousand years ago! 。There's no need to say more, all the wealth of a thousand years is yours. If you weren't Jack Ma, I wouldn't believe it even if I died. 。
Severe dejection gripped his entire face.
Even his pupils were steeped in remorse. 。
This is an idiom, isn't it A slight difference results in a huge gap.
Perhaps, there are other similar descriptions. 。Ye Youxiao couldn't bear to go on: "Don't be self-tortured! But I already got these five coins in my hand. What am I doing Getting these five cents means what It must have reached a corner of the modern Chinese release pond!"Ye Youxiao regretted it deeply. 。People say "dying at the hospital doorstep" is a great pain in the next life. Compared to that, what about me I had my dream within my grasp, but I let it go!
There's nothing worse than having your heart die. 。But Ye Youxiao was not giving up. The release pool was still there, and the water was still there. Ye Youxiao carefully hid a five-cent coin in his soaked shoes. 。He decided, he'd do it again! This time, it was either you die or I live!
In the midst of a fierce mental battle, suddenly his feet slipped again. Before he could even scream, he fell back into the pond. 。And the moon bears witness, this time Ye Youxiao really didn't get up. 。He finally crossed over. 。
Just when Ye Youxiao woke up, his face was full of confusion again.
Isn't it supposed that we travelled back to modern China Why are there English graffiti everywhere stonian solmosdot What is this stuff There are antique cars running all over the streets, no skyscrapers, just small houses. Three women in long dresses, all foreigners, came walking towards me!Ye Youxiao felt a little embarrassed. What is this all about It doesn't seem like China… what the heck Wasn't it agreed that we were going back to ChinaA thought flashed through his mind: Who did I agree withYe Youxiao stood there blankly, ignoring the kid, but his heart was a mess. I didn't learn English well! How come I ended up here not knowing if this is America or Britain But, I definitely didn't buy a time travel ticket - that's ridiculous, where would you even buy such a thingNo one sells tickets like that, so there's no one to argue with. 。Luckily, all these foreigners were in a hurry and no one noticed him. He was like… invisible. 。
Ye Youxiao jumped in fright again.
Am I a body of flesh and blood, or a transparent spirit He tried to approach an old man, who glanced at him and walked around him, continuing to walk slowly away. 。Ye Youxiao felt relieved, it seemed that he was not a hidden person, nor a transparent soul. 。If people don't pay attention to you, it's only because there's nothing worth paying attention to about you. 。Now, I would say this country is probably a modern one — it's a modern country, with airplanes in the sky. 。It's a pity, it doesn't seem to be China, or it must be another country. 。
As I walked down the road lined with trees, I suddenly noticed a few young black men staring at me from the side.
A sense of isolation made Ye Youxiao feel a pang of anxiety. He hurriedly turned down another path. He could hear them shouting something, but it was in a foreign language that he couldn't understand. Perhaps they wanted him to stand still Only someone crazy would stand still. 。Although penniless (except for that five-cent coin), some young people find pleasure in bullying others. They are very happy to see others suffering and groaning. 。
He felt like those people were catching up, so Ye Youxiao didn't dare to look back, he just walked faster and faster, until he finally ran.
Those people seemed to be chasing after him, Ye Youxiao ran faster and faster, but suddenly he felt that those people had stopped chasing him. 。Ye Youxiao stopped, turning back to look. 。Sure enough, those few young black men stood under the shade trees, pointing at themselves, and then turned around and walked away. From afar, they could still be heard laughing and cursing. Let me know if you need anything else translated!。
Well, it's probably laughing at myself.
Ye Youxiao looked around. After this chaotic run, he found himself in a place surrounded by small villas. There were green gardens in front of each villa, and straight streets lined the gardens. 。It seems like a wealthy residential area, huh
Yeh You-hsiao didn't dare to visit rashly, instead he wandered around for a while, feeling anxious in his heart. < 。With no money in my pocket and unable to speak the language, how will I survive And what about my hunger now Where will I sleep tonight If I had known this was what traveling here would be like, I would have stayed at the Ye family's! How much of that half bowl of chicken is leftTwo large iron gates appeared before me. 。This household is clearly different from the affluent, comfortable families around it; it seems more like a factory. 。Ye Youxiao mustered his courage to knock on the door, but there was no answer. 。
Is anyone here
Is there any food
I pushed the door, and it was ajar.
。
Pushing the door open, he called out again, "Is anyone there"
Right, this is abroad, I should use English so people can understand, right
"After thinking about it, I think these words: "how do you do"
I don't know if that's the right way to greet someone. But as a primary school student, daring to communicate with foreign friends, Ye Youxiao felt more confident again." 。Although he "hooked up", it seems the other person didn't "come". 。Ye Youxiao thought for a moment, then tried pushing the door open. He jumped back in surprise: a room of about a hundred square meters appeared before him! It was filled with all sorts of instruments, machine tools, and large wooden boxes stacked everywhere, their contents unknown. 。Ye Youxiao's footsteps wouldn't dare to move. 。
A cold voice rang out: whoisit
Ye Youxiao was taken aback, and only then did he see a young man standing in the room. He looked to be in his early twenties, with messy yellow hair, glasses on his nose bridge, and behind the glasses were a pair of azure eyes.
He is over six feet tall, well, now he's probably over six feet. 。His jeans were worn thin, faded almost white, but he didn't pay them any mind. Instead, his gaze was fixed on the strange boy before him. 。Ye Youxiao was a little nervous. He adjusted his breath and stammered, "iamyeyouxiao, iamlinneng." He unconsciously called himself Ye Youxiao, but then he remembered that he had already left the Tang Dynasty, so he should restore his original name. Or should he call himself Lin Neng 。He said, watching the other person with concern. 。The other person looked at themselves, then walked around to their back, looking at something (he later found out that he wanted to see if they had a pigtail). Suddenly, he asked: "chinese"This time, Ye Youxiao understood! He was very excited to understand the foreigner's language! But how should he answer In his excitement, he just nodded and forgot to speak. 。
That young man made a strange gesture, he pressed his finger to his head and hummed, then looked at Ye Youxiao and said: "Alright, I've switched my language system to Chinese now"
I can see that you must have had some unusual experiences. 。Now, tell me about your experience. 。>Ye Youxiao must have looked very silly, completely dumbfounded, with his mouth wide open but unable to say a word—it was too unbelievable! In the blink of an eye, this young man had started communicating with him in Mandarin! Although his Chinese still had some accent and wasn't perfect, there was no doubt that Ye Youxiao was thoroughly stunned. 。The young man extended his hand. “Nice to meet you, I’m Everitt, but my friends all call me Everitt the Third” 。
Ye Youxiao passively extended his hand to shake Everitt's. The other man's palm was noticeably larger than his own, which made Ye Youxiao feel a bit unequal. This didn't feel like a handshake between friends, but rather like being checked by a teacher or elder out of concern.
But the boy's curiosity overcame his sensitivity; he had only ever heard of Qin II, who was an emperor. 。
But this young man claimed to be Everett the Third What in the world
A thought flashed through my mind: he wasn't a ghost, he was savage.
Ye Youxiao suddenly understood: as long as he thought of the word "ghost," the little ghost would be awakened! But now was not the time to tangle with the little ghost, he had to have a serious talk with this Everett III immediately: “Why do they call you Everett III You don't seem like an emperor” He thought to himself, don't fool me 。I haven't eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run. I haven't seen an emperor, but I... have met many ancients. You won't meet as many ancients in your lifetime. 。Everitt wasn't as complicated as Ye Youxiao thought. He turned and gestured casually at the instruments and machinery in the room: "Maybe it's because I spend all day tinkering with these things, like commanding thousands of troops." 。"By the way, would you like something to drink" Ye Youxiao saw him standing in front of the refrigerator and couldn't help swallowing: "Is there any Coca-Cola on ice"He loved this taste before he traveled, but now in this life, even eating a meal was a daily ritual, let alone hoping for an iced CokeEverett smiled, took out a bottle of Coke and handed it to him, then looked at Ye Youxiao with interest: "To be honest, I'm getting more and more interested in you..." 。
Right, you just mentioned two different names, didn't you
Ye Youxiao nodded, deciding to surprise Everett the Third.
Only by retrieving face can one achieve equal dialogue: "Before I crossed over, my name was Lin Neng, and after crossing over, it became Ye Youxiao." 。Just because you have ice-cold Coke doesn't mean you understand what it means to travel through time. Since we are communicating, we should be equal. 。It's not just about you pouring information into me one-sidedly. I also need to give you something new and exciting, to surprise you. That way, I'll have face, and our interaction will be truly equal. 。
Ye Youxiao was disappointed. Everitt the Third didn't ask him what "transmigrated" meant:
"You really did come through time travel, this is in line with my judgment"
Ye Youxiao was somewhat disheartened.
The other party actually knows about time travel, and it seems like they made that judgment when we met. 。Then, Everett's kindness to himself is all based on his identity as a time traveler Would he want to turn himself into some kind of research material Ye Youxiao looked at the strange machines in the room with some fear. He suddenly realized that there was also a completely transparent cabin! Why didn't he see it just now What was this cabin for This Everett, is he a modern-day Qin Zongquan
Ye Youxiao was almost trembling, but thinking that men should not show weakness in front of others, he forced himself to calm down and asked:
"What about you You didn't tell me either, what is this place What year is it"
As if he was not used to having his topic changed, Everett's face froze for a moment, then he said easily: "It's 1958 now, and this is Miami, USA." 。Ye Youxiao instantly wanted to cry but couldn't: "Don't play like this! How did you knock me down all the way to America It's still the 1950s!"Everett looked at Ye Youxiao's expression and secretly chuckled in his heart. 。He pulled a chair over and sat down, nodding his head. "Alright, Ye Youxiao," he said, "tell me your story." 。Ye Youxiao suddenly remembered the Coke in his hand, hurriedly drank two mouthfuls, taking the opportunity to calm himself down a bit, and then told his story. 。He didn't know why he would trust this stranger he just met, maybe after crossing so many spaces, he no longer took caution seriously. 。Don't deceive yourself, even if you kill yourself, does your life just disappear In another space, you might still be living a good life. 。You should be grateful, my friend 。Everitt suddenly spoke, causing Ye Youxiao to be startled. He instinctively asked:"Why"Everitt was still that calm demeanor: "Let's give an example." 。"For example, I give you a knife. How far away can you stab your target 10 centimeters, 50 centimeters, or 1 meter"Ye Youxiao hesitated for a moment, "10 centimeters, no, maybe 50 centimeters." 。Everett asked, "Why not one meter"Ye Youxiao: "I can't stab that far, unless I throw the knife." 。Everett smiled, "Interesting, you speak of throwing knives Then the bet is upped, can you throw a knife 1 kilometer"Ye Youxiao shook his head, "Impossible, humans don't possess that much power." 。Everett insisted: "But we're not discussing power, we're only talking about accuracy. " 。"Interval 1 kilometer, can it hit Can't it"
This guy's Chinese is getting worse and worse, Ye Youxiao thought, answering in his mouth: "That's pretty hard" 。Everett laughed, “No, no, friend, the stakes have just been raised again, to one thousand miles.” 。"Can you hit it honestly"
Isn't this talking about a missile Ye Youxiao smiled: "Yes," 。Everett looked at him in surprise. Ye Youxiao thought to himself, “Adding a precise guidance system to guide and control…” Everett interrupted him with a laugh: "No, no, you're cheating, Ye" 。I'm talking about using my hands. 。He extended his large hand and waved it at Ye Youxiao. 。Ye Youxiao honestly answered, “Absolutely not.” 。”and am going to Caizhou to take refuge with Mr. Xue." 。Ye Hou Sheng said several times that he didn't have talismans, and it was only after much effort that he managed to get rid of Ding Yuanwai's en...
