Flourishing of the Ming Dynasty Novel - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Tonight He Xi (2)
Taking his backpack, under the gazes of those people, Lu Zhen casually unlocked the password lock that was connected to the zipper. Then, he smoothly unzipped the zipper and rummaged through it to find something. However, his series of actions dumbfounded those people. They really didn’t expect this bag to be able to open like this.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Zhen had already taken out a bottle of mineral water and a small bottle of Pogostemon Righteous Qi water. Then, he turned around and went back there. He squatted down and fed the waking man some water while observing his condition. The captive who had come to help him earlier had already arrived behind the other party and had let him lean against himself and make him half-sit, so that he could smoothly drink the water.

The refreshing water flowed down the esophagus and into the body. This lifted the spirits of those who were suffering from heat and water shortages, and they finally regained some consciousness. At this time, a tiny thing suddenly appeared on his lips. He only heard a voice say, “Take a breath.”

Although the accent was a little strange, he subconsciously listened and took a breath. Then, a bitter and sweet liquid entered his mouth and was swallowed by him.

After seeing the other party drink a cup of Pogostemon Righteous Qi Water, Lu Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled at the man beside him who was curiously looking at him and the bottle of mineral water and the box of medicine in his hand, “As long as he can rest for a while, he should be fine.”

The man could clearly feel that the situation of the person in front of him had improved a lot. This made him even more surprised by Lu Zhen. What was this young man’s path? How could he take out such a miraculous pill? Also, the bottle that seemed to be filled with water was also very strange. It actually allowed people to see the water inside.

Lu Zhen knew that he couldn’t give an acceptable explanation for the time being, so he could only smile at the other party, “I haven’t thanked this big brother for his help. My name is Lu Zhen, I wonder what your name is?”

“I dare not, you are the one to be admired.” The man said sincerely. Indeed, those who dared to save people in front of Meng Ren needed great courage. Afterwards, he said, “My surname is Xie. I don’t have a big name. Everyone calls me Seventh Elder Xie.”

“So it’s Brother Xie Qi.” Lu Zhen shouted and then probed, “Seventh Brother, do you know when it is now?” At present, he could only ask him.

“Isn’t this the second half of the time?” Seventh Xie looked at Lu Zhen strangely, not understanding why he asked such a simple question.

“No, I mean …” Lu Zhen paused for a moment and thought for a moment before he said, “What dynasty is the Central Plains now, and what year is it now.” As he spoke, he nervously stared at the old and mature face of the other party.

Although it was very likely that he could not get the answer from the other party, Lu Zhen still decided to give it a try. After a moment of shock, Xie Laoqi continued, “It’s the eighth year of the Great Ming Orthodoxy …”

“Eight years of orthodoxy” After obtaining this answer, Lu Zhen felt a rumble in his mind and temporarily lost all perception of the outside world. He could not hear a single word Xie Laoqi said later.

He had truly crossed over, and had arrived at the Ming Dynasty, an orthodox period of nearly five to six hundred years from the time of the accident! If it weren’t for the faint speculation he had previously, Lu Zhen would have gone crazy on the spot if he had suddenly heard this news.

But even so, it was still difficult for him to calmly face everything in front of him. In order to make himself more sober, he subconsciously raised the plastic bottle in his hand and poured more than half of the bottle of water on his head. When the cold feeling rushed down from his scalp, his consciousness gradually recovered. What entered his eyes was Xie Lao Qi’s expression of surprise and worry.

“What’s wrong with you?” Seeing that he seemed to be better, Xie Laoqi asked.

Lu Zhen opened his mouth, but he didn’t know how to explain it.

At this moment, he heard a loud crash coming from behind him. He subconsciously turned his head and saw a muddled man carrying his backpack and pouring everything inside onto the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen was annoyed. He stood up and rushed forward. He shouted, “What are you doing? This is my bag!”

Seeing his appearance, the Meng people in the surroundings immediately revealed hostility. Some people even pulled out their sabers from their waist in a flash, as if they would attack whenever something was wrong. It was only at this time that Lu Zhen suddenly remembered his current situation and felt a chill run down his spine. It was not 2017, and he did not have any rights as a prisoner of the other party …

Hezha did not feel angry because of this. He waved his hand and ordered everyone to take back their sabers. Then, he looked at the stall on the ground that he did not know at all and said, “I asked them to take out their things to see. What are these things?”

“There’s some food” Lu Zhen calmed down and answered honestly.

“Food?” Looking at these colorful things, Hezha couldn’t believe it. These things were too different from the food he knew.

Lu Zhen squatted down, picked up one of the packs of compressed biscuits, tore open the packaging, broke off a piece and handed it over, “You can eat it and know that I’m not lying to you.”

However, He Zha did not receive it and only stared at Lu Zhen suspiciously. He didn’t dare to guarantee that this stone-like thing was really edible.

Lu Zhen immediately understood his thoughts and did not force it. He immediately stuffed the biscuit into his mouth and chewed it down.

Seeing that he had already eaten it, there was nothing unexpected about it. He Zha pointed at a Mongolian beside him and said, “Come and try it.”

Although the man was nervous, he still took a small piece of biscuit from Lu Zhen’s hand and put it into his mouth as he wished. Afterwards, his eyes straightened up and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. Just when those people were worried that something might happen to him, he vaguely said, “This is too delicious, it’s still salty!”

Hearing what he said, the other Meng people immediately became interested and surrounded him, wanting to snatch the bag of compressed biscuits from Lu Zhen’s hand. Fortunately, Hezha was still standing here. Under his scolding, everyone was not too presumptuous, but their eyes were fixed on the packet of biscuits.

Only then did Hezha reach out to Lu Zhen, who could only hand over the whole package of biscuits. After Xue Lu Zhen broke off a small piece and put it into his mouth to chew, Hezha’s face revealed a look of enjoyment. “Is there such a delicious thing in this world?”

Seeing him speak like this, the others were even more eager to salivate, but they did not dare to go forward to snatch it. They could only watch with eagerness, almost drooling one by one.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen was amused and surprised. It was just a pack of compressed biscuits that could actually make them look like this. As for? But then, he remembered the reason behind it. Although this compressed biscuit was not a good thing for future generations, it was only for the sake of precaution that he would bring along a few biscuits to satisfy his hunger when he traveled. However, for people hundreds of years ago, the biscuits made with a lot of seasonings such as MSG were still quite delicious.

Moreover, now that he was in the grasslands, facing a Mongolian who could only eat light food, the situation was even more different. One had to know that because of the backwardness of their technical knowledge, the Mongols were extremely short of salt. They needed to buy salt from Great Ming to satisfy the needs of some nobles.

Lu Zhen was not surprised to understand this through his grasp of history, but there was more understanding and sympathy in his eyes when he looked at these people. Seeing that the crowd was looking on eagerly, and that Hezha did not seem to have any intention of distributing the food to them, he said, “There are still quite a few here. Give them some to eat.”

This sentence made Lu Zhen gain quite a few favorable impressions. After thinking for a while, Hezha finally made a decision and handed the biscuit to a trusted aide, “Divide it among yourself.” However, it was clear that he would not give anything else to his subordinates for enjoyment.

Even so, even though they had only received a small portion of the biscuit, they were still very excited about it. After eating, he praised endlessly. To them, this small piece of biscuit was more delicious than anything they had ever eaten before.

After this disturbance, the situation of the heatstroke patients over there had also stabilized completely. Although they could not walk for the time being, it was clear that they could continue on their journey as long as they rested for one night.

Hezha wasn’t too surprised by this result. After all, this young man had already brought him too many surprises and surprises. Saving a person was nothing compared to the strange but delicious food.

But at the same time, he was even more curious about Lu Zhen’s identity. He felt that before he brought this fellow back to the tribe, he still had to clarify his identity.

Thinking of this, he glanced at his subordinates who were already preparing to camp by the campfire. Then, he strode towards the bushes and arrived in front of Lu Zhen.

Seeing him suddenly walk over, Lu Zhen and the others were all nervous. “You saw it too. I’m not lying to you. I’ve almost healed him. As long as I rest for one night …”

Lu Zhen’s words were interrupted by the other party’s wave of his hand. Then, Hezha’s gaze was fixed on his face, “Who exactly are you? Why did you come to our grassland? Also, why did you bring those strange things with you?”

Hearing him ask these questions in a solemn tone, Lu Zhen’s heart tensed up when he saw that his hand was faintly on the hilt of the saber at his waist. He could tell that as long as his answer wasn’t satisfactory, this fellow might pull out his saber and chop him down without any hesitation.

However, what answer would satisfy the other party?
