Qiao Mai's hometown has been uninhabited for a long time. After opening the gate, the yard is full of dust and fallen leaves.

Covering her mouth and nose with her sleeve, she rushed into the back room and quickly found the broom.

"Give it to me, you go and stay in the house." Nie Yuan held the two overlapping boxes in one hand, grabbed the broom with the other, and drove Qiao Mai in.

"Thank you, put the box here."

The central axis of the bungalow is the main room with simple furnishings. There is an Eight Immortals table in the center, a few chairs are scattered, and there are two old-fashioned closets against the wall. There is nothing else.

Nie Yuan put down the suitcase, walked around the bedroom again, and came out with a broom and said, "I didn't bring sheets and bedding, and everything in the closet is damp. Let's drive to the market to buy later, and you lead the way."

After finishing speaking, he diligently took the broom and went out to sweep the floor. Qiao Mai washed the rag and wiped the stool. While wiping, he observed incredulously, and found that Nie Yuan's movements were actually very neat.

Nie Yuan could feel her gaze without raising his head: "Why, madam thinks I haven't done any housework?"

"It really doesn't look like it."

"Heh, have you forgotten how many years I have lived? In the early years, I did dirtier and more tiring jobs."

Qiao Mai told himself in his heart: Don't ask, don't ask, control your curiosity.

"What did you do?" The villain in her heart was waving the white flag of surrender with tears in her eyes, no, she couldn't control it at all.

Nie Yuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said, "For example, in order to become a general, start from the bottom of the ranks, brush and feed horses, clean up the battlefield, and carry corpses..."

Qiao Mai was completely aroused: "What? You were also a general?"

"Well, not just a general, I was an emperor."

Qiao Mai doubted: "Emperor? The emperors in history all had names and surnames. Who are you?"

Nie Yuan had already swept the floor quickly, went into the inner room to clean again, and said angrily, "Guess."

Qiao Mai was so curious that his heart was scratching like a cat's paw. While working, he recalled the emperors of all dynasties.

With Nie Yuan's character, if he really was an emperor, he must be a tyrant.There are fewer tyrants in history than moderate and wise kings. Since Nie Yuan has lived for many years, it is basically impossible for him to be the monarch who will inherit the throne.The founding emperor is more likely.

The tyrannical founding emperor?
In history, there was such a famous monarch. He served as a general in the army of the previous dynasty. It is said that he was born as a commoner. He overthrew the rule of the previous dynasty with blood and iron, unified the fragmented country, and built the largest empire at that time.

It is a pity that he was not interested in female sex, and he did not leave any heirs until he died, and he did not even have an edict to pass on the position of Zhang, which led to political turmoil and a 200-year struggle for hegemony in the territory of Xiamen.

Tsk tsk, this king is indescribably suitable for Nie Yuan.

"Could it be Jing Xian, the founding monarch of Daliang?"

After hearing this, Nie Yuan's expression did not change at all, and he still said slowly, "Guess."

Damn, guess she is a puppy again!

Unknowingly, the two cleaned the entire bungalow and yard clean.

There are only two long streets in Rongzhen that cross from east to west, and the townspeople buy quilts at a plucked cotton shop on West Street.The shop owner watched Qiao Mai grow up, and when he saw her return home, he was so pleasantly surprised that he wanted to give it away for nothing, but Qiao Mai refused for a long time, and the other party refused to accept the money.

"Old Joe was my best chess friend back then. You finally came back once. If I even took you for cotton money, he would have to jump out of the ground to settle accounts with me."

Nie Yuan casually tore off a black cuff button on the folded sleeve of his shirt, and handed it to the shopkeeper's grandson who was playing with the rattle next to him: "Since the boss is determined not to accept it, madam, don't refuse his kindness. Kid, uncle gave you a glass bead." As a memorial."

The shopkeeper couldn't see the value of the cuffs, and really thought they were glass beads, but that doesn't mean Qiao Mai couldn't see it.While the shopkeeper was packing the quilt, she pulled the child aside and told her not to lose the cuffs, and when the family needed money, she would give it to grandpa to change it.

The two returned to the car with the quilt in their arms. Qiao Mai gave a thumbs up: "Brother, as expected of you, three or four million emerald cuffs, as glass beads, you can give it away as soon as you say it."

"It's nothing." Nie Yuan piled the quilt on the back seat, as if deliberately arousing Qiao Mai's curiosity, and said, "I was more generous 1000 years ago."

1000 years ago?Qiao Mai sat on the co-pilot shaking his head, watching the green willows and weeping poplars slowly recede outside the window, and chanted comfortably: "Golden and white biscuits buy songs and laugh, and you will be young when you are drunk..."

The life in the small town is pure and simple. After nightfall, the lights in the alleys go out, Qiao Mai lays down on the bed early, pulls up the quilt and prepares to go to bed early and get up early, but sees Nie Yuan taking out the game helmet and mobile gateway from the suitcase, Wear it leisurely.

"You came here to play games?"

Nie Yuan nodded: "Well, Ma'am, do you want it? I brought one for you too."

Qiao Mai didn't want to play games with him, so he quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Her cell phone was on silent, and when she woke up in the morning, she received a lot of messages from the party who stayed up late.

Job's "Nirvana" in which he played the second male role before was edited and submitted for review. After being snapped up by major TV stations, the file was quickly finalized. He is about to embark on a promotional tour in major cities, and one of them is the capital of Jiangnan Province. He has asked for leave with the director to come to Rongzhen.

As usual, Chang Yining continued to send messages even if he was blacklisted, and all of them were recorded by the small black box program written by Qiao Mai himself.

Oddly enough, his recent messages all look like pyramid scheme ads:

[Want to experience the thrill of earning tens of millions a year?Do you want to realize your career ideals and life values?Come to Changheng Group, believe me, you are right! 】

[Changheng Group, you are trustworthy.Once you join the job, you will be safe for the rest of your life. 】

Is this an invitation to work?This kid behaves quite interestingly.

Qiao Mai shook his head, released him from the blacklist, and asked: [Excuse me, Mr. Chang, what position can your company provide me? 】

Chang Yining seemed to be standing next to the phone, and immediately replied: [Chief Financial Officer, Chief Security Officer, Chief... In short, my dad said that as long as it is not the chairman, others are fine. 】

Does Chang Xiuqi know her identity as a netizen?

Qiao Mai confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her security measures, she thought for a while, and asked: 【Your dad hacked into your phone? 】

In the past, Chang Yining didn't know her real identity, but after he knew, this secret really couldn't be kept from Chang's family.

After a few minutes, Chang Yining replied: 【Look!How savvy you are, what our company needs is talents like you! 】

Qiao Mai simply put the phone aside and waited for him to finish flattering.

Nie Yuan, who got up early, came back with a bag of soy milk and fried dough sticks. He didn't do anything out of the ordinary last night, and he really played games obediently by himself.Qiao Mai involuntarily added 2 impression points to him, and then realized, how could a normal incident become a bonus item when it happened to Nie Yuan?
Nie Yuan, a master of Stockholm and PUA, had to guard against it.

"Arranging me in your mind again?"

"No." Qiao Mai resolutely refused to reveal his thoughts, quickly finished his breakfast, and went to get the joss sticks and paper money he bought yesterday.

Grandpa Joe's grave is on a hill outside the town.There is a lot of tea planted here, and the mountains and plains are lush green. In the past, Grandpa Qiao also made a living by growing tea, and raised Qiao Mai, who was not loved by his father or mother.

"Go to the mountain to pick some herbs first. My grandfather likes Artemisia quadrangularis the most."

Nie Yuan walked behind her, stepping on the muddy ground, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what Artemisia quadrangularis is called?"

"I know, you mean catnip, right?" Qiao Mai felt sad and indignant when he thought of this, "Maybe it's because my grandpa always likes to bathe me with catnip, that's why I was pestered by you. Detoxifying Chinese herbal medicine!"

Nie Yuan didn't answer any more. Since he went up the mountain, his expression became serious.He has been to this place many times in the early days, but because of the death of his younger sister, he has never been here again. It has been thousands of years...or tens of thousands of years?

Times have changed, and even though the terrain has changed, Nie Yuan is still attracted by the original power once he gets close to here, and his mind is unconsciously moved by it.

And as Qiao Mai led the way through the mountains, this feeling of being close to the source became stronger.

Qiao Mai walked to a mountain road far away from the tea field, where weeds were overgrown. She pushed aside several lush green plants, walked through the knee-deep grass, and came to a narrow hole between the mountain walls.

"Here, here it is. The Artemisia quadrangularis that grows in this cave is particularly effective in medicine." In the past, her roommates in college asked her for skin care tips, but she didn't take care of skin care at all. Grandpa said, it must be this kind of herb. effect.In the past, Qiao Mai would refute that catnip had no such effect at all, but when grandpa passed away, those noisy conversations became her most precious memories.

Qiao Mai squatted down to pick the four-edged stalks at the entrance of the cave, but Nie Yuan walked directly beside her, with a blank expression, and entered the entrance of the cave.

"Wait, the inside is very narrow, you can't get in, just pick it here."

Nie Yuan turned a deaf ear and just walked in blindly. Qiao Mai put down the herbs in his hand and stood at the entrance of the cave to look in.

I saw Nie Yuan put one hand on a certain stone wall and pressed it down hard. The narrow gap in front of him miraculously moved to the sides, revealing a hole that only allowed one person to pass through.

After Nie Yuan stepped in, the stones on both sides quickly closed as if there were some automatic induction mechanism.

Qiao Mai rubbed his eyes, stepped forward, and tried to put his hand on the place Nie Yuan had pressed before.Fortunately, there was no more high-tech operation in the narrow slit, but it was opened again as before.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qiao Mai stepped into the cave.

However, what she never expected was that the place that could be seen to be a circular cave suddenly disappeared after she stepped into it, and the next second, she felt that her feet were on the ground, she lost her center of gravity and fell.

When he fell to the ground, Qiao Mai had only one thought in his mind: Curiosity killed the cat!
She rubbed her ankles and got up, and in front of her was no longer a closed and narrow cave, but a bustling street full of small vendors.

What's even more strange is that the people on this street are all wearing ancient costumes with wide robes and wide sleeves.
