Chapter 3 The Uninvited Guest

"I've been there," Gao Shiqian nodded, "When the Bureau of Weaving and Dyeing pays tribute to the palace every year, I will go there together," then whispered to himself, "I don't know what happened to her..."

"Who is she?" Jinhua was curious, "Your lover?"

He shook his head: "Que Niang is the Shang Gong of the Shangfu Bureau in the palace. We grew up together in the Weaving Yamen since we were young. She entered the palace when she was 14 years old."

"Oh~" Jinhua elongated his tone, "My childhood sweetheart~"

"It's a pity that I got her involved..." He was silent for a while, and then said to Jinhua, "So, the girl believes that I came from Daming?"

She shrugged noncommittally.

Staring at the photo, he suddenly remembered something: "Can you help me find the whereabouts of a book?" He wanted to know where "Bao Fu Jian" was kept at this moment.

"There are so many requests." She was a little impatient, but she still searched the Internet for a long time, but found nothing. "Without this book, could it be that you remembered the name wrong?"

"No?" His face changed abruptly, and he stared at the computer in disbelief, "How could it not be, it's impossible..." He clearly gave the real copy to Que Niang and hid it. As a person, she would definitely keep it safe. May be lost?Was it finally discovered by the prince?Could it be that something happened to Magpie Niang after he fell off the cliff...

He didn't dare to think about it anymore. The preservation of this book and the safety of Que Niang have always been the beliefs he has sustained. His heart has never been shaken, but if you tell him that all of this is in vain, and the authentic copy cannot be preserved in the end, then in his life, the lives of his whole family, and even the lives of Que Niang Could it be that his life was ruined in vain...

"No, no! I don't believe it!"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited," Jinhua saw that he was losing control of his emotions, and quickly comforted him, "There is nothing on the Internet, maybe I didn't find it, we can go to the library to check, there may be clues! That, Are you thirsty, I'll get you some water to drink." She turned around and ran to the living room, while pouring water, she quickly thought about how to deal with this difficult guy.

Gao Shiqian stood there blankly, recalling everything he had experienced since he woke up.This strange and bizarre world made him feel extremely cold and strange.Since this place is not the underworld, nor reincarnation, but the future after Ming Dynasty, where should he go?After I fell off the cliff, my whole family must have been slaughtered by the eunuchs, and the Ming Dynasty I was loyal to now no longer exists. "Bao Fu Jian" and Que Niang are even more unpredictable. When the family dies, all the efforts are turned into a dream, in vain.

It has been seen that pine and cypress have been destroyed for salaries, and the mulberry field has become a sea.

Staying here, I can only drag myself along like a wandering soul, suffering day and night, and living in pain and regret forever.Since he has already died once, why not die again, as a martyr for Ming Dynasty!Thinking of this, he pulled out the dagger with a "chuss" and stabbed himself in the throat.

Jinhua heard the noise in the living room, came to have a look, and was frightened for a while.Just at this critical moment, there was an urgent knock on the door, one after another.

"Wait, you can't die!" Jinhua rushed forward and grabbed his wrist, "Help me deal with the outsiders first! I've helped you so much, so I'm sure I'll repay you!"

Gao Shiqian also heard a loud knock on the door, seeing Jinhua pleading, he withdrew his hand and put the saber back into its sheath.

"No, you'd better hold the knife!"

"Alright." He drew out his dagger again, protected Jin Hua behind his back, and came to the door, "Who is outside the door?"

"I know there are people in the room, open the door quickly!" A man's voice came from outside the door.

"I have no money, and I don't have a loan shark. If you want to mess around, I will call the police!" Jin Hua shouted.

"Money? No, no, no, you misunderstood, I'm not here to collect debts! I have something important to do with you!"

"Ghosts believe you!" Jin Hua replied.

"I'm really not here to collect debts. Did you stay in Feixing Building last night? Did something weird happen?"

The two looked at each other, and Gao Shiqian asked, "How did you know what happened last night?"

"I'm from the Jiangnan Institute of Physics. My instrument detected a space-time anomaly, so I followed the signal to find it. Quickly open the door. I'll go in and explain it to you!"

Gao Shiqian cast a questioning look at Jinhua, she thought for a while and nodded.

With a "squeak", the door was opened slightly, and a man squeezed in. He was startled when he saw the short knife in Gao Shiqian's hand. "Can you, put this down first..." He reached out to push the knife away, but Gao Shiqian grabbed his wrist and twisted it away.

"Hey, it hurts, it hurts!" The visitor turned pale immediately.

"Tell me, who are you!" Gao Shiqian tightened his grip on his wrist like iron clamps.

"Ouch!" The man screamed and said urgently, "Let go, I, I can help you go back!"

With a sound of "嘡啷", the dagger fell to the ground, and Gao Shiqian grabbed the man by the neck: "This is true!"

"You, let me go first!"

"Offended." Gao Shiqian let go of his hand, and looked at the visitor together with Jinhua.

The man rubbed his sore wrist, straightened the collar of his shirt, pushed his round glasses, his unkempt curly hair frizzed, as if electrified.Jin Hua couldn't help frowning, another strange unexpected visitor.

"Please forgive me for being rude," Gao Shiqian saluted the visitor, "How can I return to Daming?"

"Da Ming? So he's from the Ming Dynasty!" The man looked around Gao Shiqian for a long time, and pretended, "Well...won't you invite me to sit down and talk about such an important matter?"

"Come and sit down." Jinhua motioned him to sit down on the sofa.

"Please enlighten me, sir." Gao Shiqian sat down opposite him and asked eagerly.

"Ahem... I was hoarse just now, do you have coffee?"

"No coffee." Jinhua poured a glass of water and put it on the coffee table, "A glass of white water, drink it or not."

"What kind of attitude..." the man muttered, but he still picked up the glass and drank it in a big gulp.

Jin Hua stared at him suspiciously: "You just said that you are from the research institute?"

The man pushed his glasses, and said slowly: "That's right. Let me introduce myself. My surname is Xue, and my name is Xue Dingding. I work in the Jiangnan Institute of Physics. Last night, I detected an anomaly in space and time in the Feixing Building." The signal was suspected to be a wormhole phenomenon, so I tracked it all the way." He took out something from his pocket and handed it to her, "This is a physical instrument developed by me to monitor wormholes."

Jinhua looked at this so-called instrument—the size of a palm, with a strange shape, like a beetle. "This is your scientific instrument? It looks like a toy." She said while picking the blue color on the back of the beetle curiously. The button was snatched by Xue Dingding, and he shouted: "Don't move it! If you break it, you will be in trouble!"

"Tch, is it so powerful? It's amazing!" Jin Hua curled his lips.

"Why don't you look amazing?" Xue Dingding carefully checked the instrument, "Just relying on this thing to detect the time and space travel, it is enough to shock the world!"

"Sir, do you believe that I came from Daming?"

"I'll believe what you said." Xue Dingding waved his hand, "Don't call me Mr., it's weird."

"Just call him Xue Dingding! He's putting on airs, he really thinks he's a great scientist!" Jin Hua mocked.

"How do you know my nickname? Everyone in the research institute calls me that!" Xue Dingding exclaimed.

"Uh..." Jin Hua's face was darkened.

"My dad's idol is Schrödinger. He has studied quantum mechanics all his life, and he hopes that I can be as good as Schrödinger, so he gave me this name. Don't you think I am similar to Schrödinger?"

"No one cares about this," Jin Hua said, "Now you should tell us how he got here, right?"
