Why is My Second Dimension Weird?

But now he is Master Niu.

It is said that Niu Qifu joined a big family in Xiapi City and made a small fortune doing business.

At first Xu Ming went to knock on the door, and the gatekeeper opened the door. Seeing Xu Ming's strange attire, he thought it was a poor boy who came from somewhere to seek relatives.

Xu Ming asked him to pass in the half of the jade tablet, and the three big characters 'reluctant' were written all over his face.

Unexpectedly, shortly after he took the half jade tablet in, the front door of the Niu Mansion suddenly opened wide, Master Niu led people to welcome him out, invited Xu Ming into the Niu Mansion, and treated him well.

Xu Ming later found out from Mr. Niu that he had been looking for Niujia Village for 20 years.

30 years ago, although his family moved to Xiapi City to develop, they still often visit Niujia Village during the New Year and holidays, especially when they go home to worship their ancestors every year, and never forget it.

20 years ago, Cao Cao led an army to attack Xuzhou, and the whole Xuzhou, including Xiapi City, fell into war, and Niu Qifu and Niujia Village were cut off.

The Battle of Xuzhou ended, Lu Bu was defeated, and Xiapi City gradually returned to calm. Niu Qifu set off immediately, intending to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

Who knew that when he retrieved the original site of Niujia Village based on previous memories, he was always circling outside like a ghost hitting a wall, but he couldn't enter Niujia Village.

Xu Ming guessed that this was a kind of protection from the ancestors of Niujia Village to the only surviving descendant.After all, Niujia Village was full of resentment at this time, and it was no longer suitable for living people to visit.

After being rejected by the village, Niu Qifu often came back here, hoping to return to Niujia Village again, but he still failed to do so.

Fast forward 20 years, and being unable to return to his hometown has become a heart problem for Niu Qifu.

Now that Xu Ming brought a jade plaque from his hometown, how could he not be ecstatic.

So, while arranging for Xu Ming to stay temporarily in Niu's Mansion, he sent people to go to the original site of Niu's Village at full speed.

Niujia Village is only fifty miles away from Xiapi City. If you ride a horse, you can go there in the morning and come back in the evening before the city gate closes.

Taking advantage of the time when his servants went to Niujia Village to investigate, Niu Qifu hurriedly asked Xu Ming about the current situation of Niujia Village.

Xu Ming didn't hide it either, and told Niu Qifu everything about the Niujia Village being ransacked by the rebels and his encounter with his brother in the Niujia Ancestral Hall.

Niu Qifu burst into tears after hearing this.

In the evening, the people who went to investigate came back and confirmed Xu Ming's words.

Niu Qifu immediately wanted to go back to Niujia Village, but was stopped by his family.

In the evening, Niu Qifu entertained Xu Ming kindly, and presented him with some gold ingots, copper coins and a small amount of silk.

With this start-up capital, Xu Ming suddenly became more financially rich.

The Niu family was busy going back to Niu's Village to bury their family members and worship their ancestors and other important matters, while Xu Ming ran out by himself.

After asking the way, he came to the restaurant near Baimenlou, ready to inquire about the news.

While asking for directions, Xu Ming discovered something strange.

People in Xiapi City seem to keep secrets about Baimenlou.

At that time, he was pulling a middle-aged man to ask for directions.

"Brother, may I ask how to get to Baimen Tower?"

Who knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, the middle-aged man's face changed drastically when he heard the word 'Baimenlou'.

"I don't know! Don't ask me! I don't know anything! Farewell!"

As if he was frightened by something, he waved his hands again and again and wanted to leave.

"Brother! Wait!"

Xu Ming couldn't hold back, he could only watch the back of the middle-aged man fleeing into the crowd in a hurry.

Xu Ming touched the back of his head inexplicably.

He was just asking for directions, so did he need such a big reaction?

So he turned his head and questioned the other two people one after another, but the result was the same ending, and the person who was questioned was scared and ran away on the spot.

The name 'White Gate Building' can be called the Three Kingdoms version of Voldemort.

Just when Xu Ming was a little puzzled, an old man selling cooking cakes next to him seemed to be unable to stand it, and whispered:

"The young boy."

Xu Ming pointed at himself suspiciously.

"Yes, it's you. Anyway, don't ask, they won't tell you."

Xu Ming hurried over and cupped his hands.

"Old man, I wonder if you can tell me how to get to Baimen Tower."

"Young student, what are you doing there? It's not a good place."

"I really have to go there for something important, can my husband make it easier for me?"

As he spoke, Xu Ming took out a few copper coins from his pocket, put them on the old man's burden, and picked out a piece of cooking cake.

The old man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Well, I can tell you. But you must remember to leave the vicinity before dark."

"I listen to you."

Xu Ming quickly nodded in agreement.

The old man stood up from the saddle and pointed to the south.

"Go down this street, turn left, and then walk along the main street in the south until you reach the south gate. The gate above is the place you are looking for."

As if he was afraid that Xu Ming might not have found the right place, the old man added another sentence.

"The outside of that place is painted white, and there are two bottles of Pixiu standing at the door."

"Old man, thank you."

Xu Ming hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted, then turned around and left with the biscuit.

"Little brother, remember! Don't go up the tower after dark!"

Two quarters of an hour later, Xu Ming could already see the south gate of Xiapi City and the tower above the gate whose walls were painted white.

Xu Ming found that the closer to the south gate, the more desolate the streets on both sides.

There were hardly a few pedestrians on the street, and even a few pedestrians came and went in a hurry, as if they were being chased by something.

The doors of many shops are locked and the houses are vacant.

A gust of wind blew up and rolled up a few withered leaves and straws. I don't know which door and window was not closed tightly, and there was a strange sound, as if someone was hiding in a corner and sobbing.

After much difficulty, Xu Ming found several soldiers on duty near the city gate.

All of them looked tense, and they felt as if they were facing an enemy at the slightest sign of trouble.

Xu Ming moved his gaze upwards, and saw a two-story white tower standing above the city gate. This must be the famous White Gate Tower.

He also noticed that the soldiers patrolling the city walls on both sides were far away from the gatehouse, and they secretly glanced in the direction of the gatehouse from time to time, as if they were guarding against something running out of it.

After looking at it from a distance, Xu Ming did not approach rashly, but turned around and walked back for a certain distance, found the nearest restaurant and went in.Finally, I saw a guest who was both the boss and the clerk greeted him quickly, with an extremely enthusiastic smile on his face.

"Guest officer, please come inside! Who are you?"

Xu Ming raised a finger while looking around the scene in the restaurant.

"There is a guest!"

The boss yelled loudly as if he was afraid that he would run away.

In such a big restaurant, there are five or six tables on the first floor, but there are only two people sitting next to one table, drinking some wine and chatting with each other, the whole restaurant is lifeless.

Xu Ming glanced at the packages that the two placed on the table, and after making a rough judgment that they were just passers-by and not locals, he immediately looked away and lost interest in them.

After scanning around, Xu Ming happened to see the stairs leading to the second floor, so he pointed.

"I like quiet."

The boss immediately understood what Xu Ming meant, and he gritted his teeth with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Guests please take a seat!"

Then the boss led Xu Ming to the second floor.

Only then did Xu Ming understand what the boss was embarrassing.

Compared with the first floor, the second floor is more deserted. Not only is there no customer, but the benches are turned over on the table, and the table is even covered with a thin layer of dust, as if it has not been open for business for a long time.

There was a trace of embarrassment on the boss's face, and he carefully apologized and said with a smile:

"Guest officer, why don't we go downstairs..."

Xu Ming waved his hand, then pointed to a table by the window.

"I'll just sit there."

"Okay! Please wait a moment!"

The boss immediately put down the stool quickly, and then quickly wiped the tabletop with the rag on his body, then bowed his body flatteringly and said to Xu Ming:

"Guest officer, please!"

After Xu Ming sat down, he glanced out the window. The second floor of the restaurant had a wide view, and sitting here, he could see Baimen Tower and everything nearby clearly.

Xu Ming imitated what he did in the costume drama, and casually threw out a silver ingot.

"Pick up what you are good at."

The boss was overjoyed immediately, almost snatching up the silver ingot that Xu Ming had thrown on the table, put it to his mouth and bit it lightly.

Feeling the soft touch from the teeth, the boss smiled even happier.

Ordinary people go to restaurants, three or two small dishes with a pot of wine, and it costs only a few dozen five baht.

Now that Mr. Cao has issued a ban on alcohol, coupled with the recession here, the cost is even smaller.

The silver ingots that Xu Ming threw out were two or three in weight, even if they served all the dishes here, he would still make a lot of money.

How can the restaurant owner not love such fat sheep-like guests?

"Guest officer, wait a moment, the food will be here soon!"

The boss rushed down at the speed of a [-]-meter race, and ran to the kitchen to urge him.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Ming's table was covered with all kinds of food, mostly boiled pork, boiled chicken, and of course peanuts.
