Traveling through books: Traveling through time with a golden finger to become a soft rice man

The palace was in chaos, and naturally the city of Changjing was in chaos as well. No one dared to go out that day. Lin Ting'an and his party drove the carriage back home cautiously, and the gate of their house was closed.

Tianpu shouted loudly, and the people in the yard opened the door after hearing the noise. Tianpu drove the carriage in. After the servants welcomed the carriage into the door, they quickly closed the door and propped it with wooden pillars.

Everyone in the main hall heard the noise and ran out. The two elders of the Luo family were relieved to see Luo Mingshi return safely. Aunt Chen was holding Tiger Boy and didn't see Yang Yuanzu, so she asked anxiously: "Where is Yuanzu? Why didn't Yuanzu come back with you?"

The family members didn't know what had happened yet, so Luo Mingshi persuaded everyone to go back to their room and made up a story that the emperor had been assassinated in the palace to calm everyone down.

"The emperor was assassinated last night and is now unconscious. The entire city of Changjing is now on high alert to catch the thief." After Luo Mingshi finished explaining, he instructed everyone: "No one in the family should go out these few days to avoid being accidentally injured by them."

Afraid that people would not listen to him, Luo Mingshi threatened again, especially those servants who usually liked to go out on the street: "Now we will kill anyone we see on the street. No one in our family is allowed to go out during this period. If anyone goes out and loses his life, don't blame me for not reminding him!"

After hearing this, no one dared to go out. They just nodded and said that they would not go out.

Even the number one security guard, Brother Bao, who is highly skilled in martial arts, came back with injuries after going out. Even if Master Luo didn't scare them, they wouldn't dare to go out.

Lin Ting'an and Tianpu helped Guard No. 1 to sit on a chair in the main hall. Aunt Chen was still persistently asking Luo Mingshi about the whereabouts of Yang Yuanzu.

Luo Mingshi also didn't know the whereabouts of Yang Yuanzu, so he made up an excuse to fool people, saying that Yang Yuanzu and other officials who were on night duty last night were left in the palace for questioning.

As for Luo Mingshi, after a night, everyone wanted to know the situation outside. Being trapped in the well was not a good idea. Sleeping was okay, but what about eating, drinking, defecating and urinating?

Early the next morning, Yang Yuanzu opened the wooden door. This wooden door had been in a dark and damp place for many years but there was no sign of decay. It was much better than the wooden door in their agricultural warehouse. If the situation was not bad, Yang Yuanzu really wanted to ask Lord Shi what material this wooden door was made of.

Yang Yuanzu stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down into the well. He saw a corpse floating on the water. Then he looked toward the well mouth again. He could see nothing but a round sky. It was quiet and motionless. He heard the voice of the Tuntian doctor: "Should we go up and take a look?"

Yang Yuanzu shook his head. Going up now would still be courting death. "There is no movement from above, which means the palace is still in chaos. Even if it is not in chaos, it is not optimistic."

"Then when do you think we can go up?" The doctor from the Water Department was anxious. He didn't want to starve to death in the well.

"No one from the Ministry of Works came to work today." Lord Shi said at this time.

“The fact that people from the Ministry of Works are on duty means that things have returned to normal.” Yang Yuanzu kindly explained when he saw that the doctor from the Ministry of Water Resources still looked confused.

"Let's hold on here for two days and see how the situation develops," said Lord Shi.

"But what are we going to eat in the next two days?" asked the doctor from the Water Department.

"That's easy." Yang Yuanzu pointed to the food box he brought with him, "Although there are some leftovers in it, it's better to have some than nothing."

"How come you brought all the leftovers with you when you were escaping for your life!"

Not only did they bring food, they also brought a quilt, which almost fell into the well water when they went down into the well.

"No one expected a coup to happen!" Yang Yuanzu pointed, "These are all left over from my night shift yesterday. You all can rest assured that they are all clean. I didn't make them dirty."

Yang Yuanzu originally planned to take the food back to feed the dog, but he didn't say this, for fear that the adults would nag him again.

"It's good to have something to eat. You should not worry about these details when you are running for your life."

Lord Shi has spoken. The two adults, who usually live a life of luxury, see that Lord Shi doesn't care and stop discussing the leftovers.

"The food problem has been solved, but what about other problems?" The doctor from the Water Department looked embarrassed and whispered, "Especially when people have three urgent needs."

Yang Yuanzu pointed inside the well and spread his hands. "There's no other way. We'll just have to make do with it." Then he pointed above the well and said, "Or we can just climb up. Just a little bit. If we get caught, I hope you guys will stick to your loyalty and don't reveal our hiding place before you die."

The two adults shook their heads to express their refusal, but they still decided to put up with it.

Even if they climbed, they might not be able to climb up unless there was someone above pulling the rope.

After finding a way to solve the problem, the doctor from the Water Department covered his stomach and said to everyone with an embarrassed look on his face: "To be honest, I..."

"I know, sir, there is no need to say more, I will step aside." After saying this, Yang Yuanzu turned and walked into the wooden door. Seeing this, the others followed him back.

Not long after everyone sat down, they heard the doctor from the Water Department scream. Yang Yuanzu quickly got up and ran out to check, only to see the doctor from the Water Department running in with his trousers held up. "He's resurrected from the dead. I was just about to urinate when the floating corpse moved!" He was almost frightened to death.

Yang Yuanzu quickly signaled the water department doctor to keep his voice down so as not to attract people outside the well.

The water department doctor was so scared that he tried to pull Yang Yuanzu's official robe sleeve, but Yang Yuanzu avoided him with disdain. Then he tried to pull the sleeve of the military farm doctor, but was also avoided. "Dignity, Mr. Water Department Doctor, we must pay attention to dignity and manners!"

When the doctor from the Water Department saw that there were still two young eunuchs here, he raised his head and chest out again and put on his official airs.

"What kind of pumice stone is that? Most likely it's not completely dead yet." Lord Shi analyzed.

"Then what should we do with this man? Should we save him or not?" The doctor from the Water Department asked tentatively, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

"How to save him? There is no doctor for us to rescue him." Lord Shi analyzed their current situation.

"We have nothing to eat or drink here, and there's not even a warm place to lie down," Yang Yuanzu added.

Yes, what they are eating now are leftovers. Although there are some cakes and fruits, it is not enough for the six of them. The resting place only has an area covered by a quilt, which has to be shared among six people.

Even if this man was rescued by people outside, it would be hard to see him survive. After all, he suffered external injuries and had been soaking in well water for a whole night. For him to survive, he must be a miracle doctor.
