3. Chapter 3 The Strange Old Lady
Two hours later, I was walking on the streets of Xianyang City.
Although the boy I met just now didn't like to talk much, he sent someone to give me something to eat. The servants treated me like a guest and brought me mutton, vegetables and steamed buns.
Escape secretly from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Now, I feel like a little animal escaping from a cage. The tension I felt before gradually disappears and my whole body relaxes.
Suddenly, I felt a slight chill in my chest. I touched it with my hand and found that there was a protrusion at the collar. I reached into my clothes and was shocked to find that a strange old man's jade pendant was hanging around my neck.
Oh my God! What's going on?!
Holding the jade pendant in my hand, my memory goes back to that afternoon...
"Qingchi, wait." The gentle voice of the old lady came from behind.
I was wondering, how could this old lady know my name?
I turned around and looked at the strange old man with a ravaged face in front of me. The old lady also looked at me, as if she was looking at a familiar and exquisite jade article, with cherished and nostalgic eyes...
Finally, the old lady withdrew her eyes that filled me with doubts. She lowered her head and opened her collar, took off a jade pendant from her neck, and rubbed it with her fingers for a while. Her eyes seemed to be filled with reluctance and nostalgia. Finally, she raised her head and picked up the jade pendant.
Pass the pendant to me.
"Qingchi, this is your thing, put it away."
"My stuff?" How could this happen?!
But my young curiosity drove me to take the jade pendant from the old lady’s hand, wanting to see what it was?
The jade pendant is bright green and feels fine to the touch. It is also intricately carved with the auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes. You can tell at a glance that it is worth a lot of money.
"Grandma, you are mistaken, this is not mine." No reward for no merit, let alone meeting her by chance, I handed her the jade pendant.
But the old lady didn't take the jade pendant back, she just looked at me with a smile. I had no choice but to stuff the jade pendant into the old man's arms.
…
By the time I finished handing in my thesis and walked across the lawn with ease, the strange old man was gone.
Suddenly, someone was holding my clothes from behind. I turned around and saw no one was there. Then I looked down and saw a cute little angel-like girl holding my clothes.
Before I could say anything, the little angel raised his hand and handed over a fine box, and smiled, revealing a row of glutinous rice teeth with missing front teeth.
"For me?" I asked this cute little angel, pointing at myself.
The little angel nodded and handed the gift box to my hand. I took it in a strange way. I was surprised that so many people wanted to give me gifts today.
When I opened the lid of the boutique box, I saw the jade pendant with the auspicious dragon and phoenix in my eyes. I was even more puzzled, how could this happen? I immediately put down the jade pendant in my hand and quickly looked up to look for the little angel, but there was no sign of her anywhere.
…
I really hope these are just dreams! But why is this dream so long and I still haven’t woken up. I tapped my head gently with my hand, "Wake up quickly!"
Unfortunately, the ancient scene around us remains as usual.
I secretly thought that I came to ancient times, and the jade pendant also came to ancient times with me. The strange encounter I have now must be related to the jade pendant in my hand. It may be an opportunity to come here. Maybe it is also related to it when I go back. I must
Find a way back!
I took the jade pendant and looked left and right, up and down, and studied it carefully, but apart from the patterns engraved on it, there was nothing special about it.
I looked up at the bright sky. In the 21st century, I have looked up at this bright sky countless times. At that time, I thought about whether the ancients or people in the future would gaze at the same sky like me.
