"Year 2014."

"Oh, that's okay, we shouldn't have any generation gap, and you don't look young anymore."

"I, I'm 21 years old."

"Graduated from university, I'm 27 years old now, and I was a perfumer before." Anna took out a red clay cup and gave Zhu Yun a glass of water.

"Thank you."

Anna sat down and looked at Zhu Yun with a smile. Although she looked too thin due to malnutrition, her gentle eyebrows and eyes made her look very feminine.

"Can I have a cigarette? I haven't seen a cigarette in over two years."

"Oh, good." They took her in, and Zhu Yun was still thinking about how to repay them. If they just wanted cigarettes, it didn't matter if they gave her the whole pack. Although she smokes, she has no addiction.

When accepting the cigarette, Anna's hands trembled a little, and when the lighter lit the cigarette, she sighed greatly, and it felt so good to be alive, which made Zhu Yun think that she was a weak woman living in a desolate mountain forest For so long, how much has I suffered.

"You're amazing, you can live here alone for so long." She drank a sip of water while talking, but the smell of earth made her shut up immediately.

"It's nothing, I'm a quiet and homely person." Anna puffed out a cigarette and looked outside the house, and replied easily. Zhu Yun was dumbfounded by her graceful smoking posture, "But life in the mountains is very Hard work, I think you won't like it if you are used to city life." Then he turned his head and pointed at Zhu Yun and said.

"So you don't live in the city?" Zhu Yun was a little unconvinced by Anna's contempt, and asked back.

"I lived in the countryside until I was 16, so I still know how to do some basic farm work, but sometimes I feel quite painful."

"Well, yes, there's nothing here." Zhu Yun sighed.

"You seem to be a little undecided, and it's not too late to leave after you get used to it, but I will teach you the ancient language before you leave."

"Eh? Isn't it Mandarin?"

Anna shook her head, "There's a big difference. If you want to communicate with ancient people, it's better to learn some basic sentences."

"I'm not good at learning languages... If I can't get used to it, can I stay with you forever?"

"Of course, I'm lonely by myself," Anna laughed, "but it's hard to get used to it after staying with me for too long. Just try it. It's almost time to prepare dinner. You should familiarize yourself with the environment first. I'll go Cook."

"Yes, sorry to trouble you, ah, do you want me to help?"

"No, I also want to thank you for the cigarettes. It won't take me so long to start the fire." Anna got up and went out, thanking her with the almost finished cigarettes in her hand.

She is a very kind sister, Zhu Yun looked at her back and thought, the originally tense nerves have relaxed a lot.

Zhu Yun went out and took a closer look at the place where Anna lived. Behind the house, a small vegetable field was cultivated with sparse vegetables. Beyond that was a bamboo forest, but it was already afternoon, and the sun was about to set. It was getting dark, Zhu Yun didn't have the guts to go into the bamboo forest alone, the other three directions of the hut were full of ancient trees, and the only path was the one they just walked through, which looked quite deep. , It's like being cleared out of a place with a hut as the center, and then built a hut and surrounded it with a fence.

But the hut is indeed very beautiful. The place where they just drank tea in the main building should be the living room, and there is an inner room inside. There is also a hut next to the main building. Seeing the smoke coming out there, it should be the kitchen.

It's not good to eat plain rice, let's go see if there is anything that needs help.

Thinking in this way, Zhu Yun went down the stairs and turned into the hut, and saw Anna was making a fire in disgrace.

"Sister Anna?"

"Oh, you're here." Anna raised her head, and there was a spot of dust on her face.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"You are such a good girl. The previous two are like uncles. They are born with a pretentious appearance, as if God asked them to unify the world, and I am an npc who can ask for anything."

"Emma, ​​Sister Anna, you really like to complain, but I thought I was the protagonist at first, hehehe."

"The fire is ready. Take a look at the fire. Come and sit with me. Let's eat radish porridge tonight."

"Carrot porridge?" Zhu Yun sat at the place Anna designated and looked at the fire in the stove. She is not stupid, and she can still do it if the fire does not go out.

"No way, materials are limited, just try to fill your stomach."

"That's right... If this is ancient times, there shouldn't be many varieties of vegetables."

"Yeah, I really want to eat durian." Anna sighed, poured the washed rice into the big pot, added a few spoonfuls of water, covered the big wooden pot, and walked aside Washing the radishes, those radishes were not as white and big as Zhu Yun saw in the supermarket, but thin ones, which made her aggrieved, thinking that if she could go home safely, she might be drinking old duck soup now .

"You eat durian, such a stinky thing..." the two chatted

"It's really unacceptable to eat it for the first time, but then I think it's delicious. You must have never tasted the second bite."

"If I got home safely now instead of this ghostly place, I should have drank the second bowl of Lao Ya Tang." Zhu Yun never forgets Lao Ya Tang

"Hmm... If I wasn't in this place, I should be working overtime at the company now. It's better to cook like this than to work overtime, isn't it?"

"We are different."

"By the way, what do you do?" Anna poured the chopped radish into a large pot to cook together, and then sat down next to Zhu Yun.

"interior designer."

Originally thought that Anna would sigh when she heard her words, but unexpectedly she laughed.

"Haha, it's also a job that was useless in ancient times."

Zhu Yun glared at her angrily.

"But you are so brave, you didn't even cry. When I knew that I had time-traveled, I was depressed for a long time and cried for a while." Anna poked Zhu Yun's fleshy face and said, Zhu Yun is not tall, and he is a bit fat. And she is very white, Wuxin is the best traverser in the Tang Dynasty.

"I don't like to cry."

"Be good, be good." Anna smiled and rubbed Zhu Yun's fine short hair. It could be seen that she was very happy for someone's arrival. She must have been alone for too long.

"Sister Anna, how long has it been since the time traveler came last time?"

"Hmm... It's been about half a year. I haven't seen a time traveler since Yan Mudong left. I thought there would never be any more."

"Alas..." Looking at the fire, Zhu Yun sighed again, "What if I can't go back again?"

"It's indeed a problem, but it's useless to think about it. I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't find any mystery to travel back, so I don't want to." Anna stood up and opened the lid to look at the rice inside. Stir the ladle a few times, "Don't put that kind of wood in it, it doesn't mean that if there is too much wood, it will flourish."

"Is that so?"

"It's common sense."

"I don't know."

"Speaking of which, I am more worried about the place where I live. There are clothes, kitchen utensils and so on. One day its real owner will come back and see that the house has been occupied. Will he arrest me and see the official? At that time, I will die gone."

"Huh?! Isn't this house abandoned?"

"I thought that was the case at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it was wrong. The abandoned house should be more dilapidated. But speaking of it, if I didn't have this house, I would have died a long time ago. It's right and wrong, so I might as well continue. live."
