In the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty.
The majestic and slightly dilapidated Forbidden City looked extremely pale and decadent in the night sky full of snow. Even though the figure was still upright, it could not hide the desolation that the building was about to collapse.
There was something strange in a remote corner of the palace.
After a long period of tinnitus and dizziness, Chang Yu held his head tightly with both hands. Memory fragments were superimposed on each other in his mind, some familiar and some unfamiliar, making it difficult for him to distinguish between reality and dreams.
As the dizziness gradually subsided, Chang Yu suddenly returned to reality and looked around in the dim light outside the window. This was a firewood shed filled with firewood and sundries. He was huddled next to the haystack, and he could vaguely see blood stains.
Where is this? Chang Yu shook his head vigorously. Isn't he participating in the UFC annual ultimate fighting competition in the ring? If he wins the gold belt this time, it will be his grand slam in MMA. This pair of people are only 24 years old.
It will be an incomparable honor for a young player.
However, when fighting for the final gold belt with his opponent in the third round, one accidentally received a kick from his opponent and fainted instantly, and the world fell into darkness.
When I woke up again, there were no medical staff, no coaches, no teammates, just this dilapidated woodshed.
In a stunned moment, he lowered his head and looked at himself. His thin robe, cotton coat, cotton pants... and these hands, arms and legs were nowhere near as strong as his original...
Wengweng... My head suddenly hurt again, and some memory fragments came back again. It was extremely strange, but it was the same as the body was born with...
It turns out that I have traveled through time!
He traveled through time and became a young eunuch in the palace of the Ming Dynasty.
A 16-year-old eunuch who made a mistake a few hours ago and was almost beaten to death with a cane, his name is also Chang Yu.
Chang Yu couldn't accept that such a time-traveling thing could happen to him. He leaned on the haystack blankly and stared at the falling snow outside through the window. His mind continued to accept some scattered memory fragments.
I felt cold all over my body and couldn't help but curl up.
The young eunuch's memory is not comprehensive. He only knows that he is from Cangzhou, Hebei Province. He has been in the palace for less than three months, and he has not even been familiar with some of the rules in the palace. Although he is cautious, he was not familiar with the place a few hours ago.
He knocked over his lunch box and was beaten thirty times with a stick. His skin and flesh were bruised and he was almost breathless. Fortunately, his roommate, the young eunuch Chunxiang, sent him to the woodshed to do his job and obey fate.
Fortunately, he didn't die. Chang Yu touched his buttocks. Maybe he received this memory. His buttocks that he hadn't felt just now were now in excruciating pain.
This poor child is probably dead, otherwise how could my soul possess him? Chang Yu couldn't help but tremble when he thought of this. Could it be that he also died in some time and space?
When I was feeling anxious and uneasy, I suddenly heard some footsteps, and then the firewood door creaked open, and a thin black figure flashed in.
Seeing Chang Yu sitting down, Heiying was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but exclaimed with joy: "You're alive, that's great, our family knew you were destined to die..."
"You, are you Chunxiang?" Chang Yu vaguely remembered such a person. After seeing the black shadow's face clearly, he felt a little familiar.
"If it wasn't me, who else could it be? Hey, if I hadn't begged Mr. Liu to keep you for one night, who knows you would have been thrown into that mass grave by now..." Chunxiang said while tumbling in his arms.
Then he took out a piece of pastry and said, "Eat it quickly, it was hard to make it."
"Thank you"
Chang Yu took the pastry, took a few bites slowly, and sighed: "I think I have been in the palace for less than three months. Not to mention the complicated rules in the palace, it is the fourth department, eighth bureau, and twelfth bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
I was almost beaten to death before I could fully distinguish between the twenty-four yamen of the prison. This palace is really not a place for people."
"Hey, I can't remember that much, just remember that we are from the Shangshan Supervisor." Chunxiang comforted with a slight smile, and then his face turned bitter: "These days, although I am with you like a tiger, the life outside is not the same.
Yes, let's be more careful in the future, I heard that the emperor has been very angry recently."
Chang Yu nodded slightly and ate the snack in silence. The little eunuch's memory was incomplete and he still had many questions in his mind, but he was worried that he would be wrong if he spoke too much.
Chunxiang watched Chang Yu finish the snack and said, "Let me apply some more medicine for you. It'll be done quickly."
Um, okay, although Chang Yu felt a little repulsive in his heart, he hardly showed it, so he nodded in agreement, then lay down in the haystack and let Chunxiang take off his pants, and then he felt a cool feeling and a burning sensation on his buttocks.
pain.
"Since you're awake, it seems like you won't die, so we don't have to stay in this woodshed and let's go back to sleep." Chunxiang said, reaching out to help Chang Yu.
"Where to go?" Chang Yu stood up and asked
"Prison barracks! Were you beaten stupid?" Chunxiang gave him a confused look.
Jianlanyuan is the dormitory of the eunuchs, commonly known as the East and West Six Houses. However, not all eunuchs live in dormitories. For example, some powerful eunuchs have their own houses outside the palace. For example, all the eunuchs of the twenty-four yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs live in the dormitory.
The inner chambers of each yamen, as well as the cleaning eunuchs of each palace, all live in the master's side hall, so that they can serve at any time.
A man like Chang Yu, who had only been in the palace for a few months, had no power, no backing, and no chance to get close to his master, so he could only live in a dormitory.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. Chunxiang supported Chang Yu as he walked in the snow, muttering that it had been raining for three days.
Chang Yu used the light to look around at this strange yet slightly familiar environment. There were walls and doors everywhere. Even if he was using his mobile phone to navigate, he would still get lost.
This is the remote corner of the easternmost part of the Imperial City. Apart from some lanterns, there is snow all over the sky. Not even the imaginary patrol guards can be seen, let alone any great masters.
This little eunuch's body was too weak. Chang Yu secretly sighed inwardly. He was originally a strong man of 1.85 meters and 80 kilograms, but now he was a skinny little body of less than 1.75 meters, which made him extremely depressed.
With Chunxiang's help, he zigzagged to a small courtyard, where there were several low-rise houses, with thick felts hanging at the door to keep out the cold air.
When he opened the felt, a stream of turbid air hit his nose, and Chang Yu couldn't help but cough out the thick sour smell.
Shhh! Chunxiang covered his mouth in time to signal him not to make any sound.
The room was dark, Chunxiang helped Chang Yu find a bed in the corner and helped him lie down: "Go to bed early, I have to be on duty tonight, I will help you give Manager Liu a few days off tomorrow, so you can rest up
”.
After Chunxiang finished speaking, he quietly left
Chang Yu couldn't sleep. He could bear the pain on his butt and the pungent sour smell, but the shock of time travel made him unable to digest it for a while.
What era did you travel to? Have you died? What will you do in the future?
A series of unknowns caused him to toss and turn, until he faintly heard the sound of the clock, and then he fell asleep in a daze.
With a snap, the burning pain on his face suddenly surprised Chang Yu from his sleep. He suddenly turned over and sat up, ignoring the burning pain on his buttocks and staring in front of him.
