Chapter 188

The dizziness in the brain began to dissipate slowly, and the five senses gradually returned to the body.

However, what was a little different was that this time he had just woken up when he heard a "plop" in his ears.

Then the whole person was overwhelmed by the water...

The ice-cold water covered his whole body, which made him wake up completely in an instant. When he opened his eyes, he was shocked to find that he had appeared in the lake and was still sinking slowly.

The blue waves above the head are rippling, and a round of sun slowly fades in the water waves like an ink painting.

"Did it fall into the water?"

Gotta find a good spot for the next flashback...

But this amount of water can't drown him, so after being dazed at first, he immediately reacted and prepared to use water spells to fly out.

Just at this moment, with his keen senses, he heard the shouts from the surface of the water.

It is a dialect of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is not unfamiliar to him as a local, but the person who listened to the voice calling for help seemed to be a young girl who was in a hurry.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Come on! Someone committed suicide by jumping into the lake!"

Jump into the lake to commit suicide?

Lu Chen looked around suspiciously, wanting to grab a hand to save someone.

I just looked around, but I didn't see the second person jumping off.

Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment and then realized, with a strange expression on his face.

"It's me who won't say it?"

Bad, I'm a suicidal idiot!

However, he quickly had an idea, and instead of continuing to use spells to escape, he pretended to be a drowning person and began to dance and struggle in panic.

Soon, he felt an old man on the bank above jumping into the water with a splash.

The other party's water skills are very good. Although he looks old, he is more flexible than a fish in the water, and he swam to his vicinity in no time.

However, he didn't approach rashly. It seemed that the other party was very experienced, and he knew that rescuing people who fell into the water would be easily entangled and put him in.

So the old man just walked around behind Lu Chen, grabbed his collar, and dragged him to the shore.

Not long, soon to the shore.

There was also a little girl about twelve or thirty-three with braids on the bank who came to meet her, stretched out her hand, and pulled him up.

The old man also climbed ashore together, took off the somewhat worn mandarin jacket on his body, twisted it, and shook the water stains on his head.

Lu Chen continued to pretend that his water skills were not good, spit out a few mouthfuls of choked water on the ground, and then slowly got up in embarrassment, as if he was still in shock, panting heavily.

"Many...Thank you for your help!"

He cupped his fists in gratitude.

The old man didn't speak, but the little girl said with a smile: "It's okay, we just came here to wash clothes, and we just happened to see you fall into the water and rescued you. My grandfather has held a boat by the river for decades, and the water quality is good."

The little girl was tied with braids, and she looked immature and cute, but I don't know if it was due to malnutrition, which made her complexion yellow and a little thin.

It can also be seen from the clothes that these two should not be rich people, and they are not well-dressed. It is indeed a simple and honest person to be willing to save themselves here.

He looked around again.

I saw that the high-rise buildings and modern electrical appliances around me had all disappeared, leaving only antique buildings and streets, and passers-by wearing period-style clothing.

At this moment, he had a real feeling of traveling back to ancient times.

Although still a little weird.

"Is this more than 400 years ago..."

It is different from the ones seen through the screen in TV dramas. The ones here are more lifelike, the colors are more realistic, and there is an earthy smell in the air mixed with aromas from nowhere. There is no trace of modern industry.

Just as he was looking around curiously, the old man suddenly looked at him and asked, "My lord, are you from another place?"

Lu Chen turned his head and smiled shyly: "Not bad."

The other party said hehe: "I can tell from your accent. Why, this is the first time I've come to this prefecture, and I haven't seen such a big world, have I? Next time, don't get confused and fall into the water again."

Lu Chen smiled awkwardly, thinking that if you saw modern high-rise buildings, you might really faint from fright.

"By the way, I don't know what to call you two? I don't know how to repay this life-saving grace."

"My grandfather's name is Xu Guang, my name is Xu Yulan, and we..."

"Silly girl, why are you talking so fast? You don't even know her, so what are you talking about?"

The old man covered the little girl's mouth, blamed him and then turned to Lu Chen and said, "You're welcome, it's good to be able to live well these days, son, you should go back sooner, you look like you're not an ordinary person in your clothes, wandering around here, if you run into someone with ulterior motives, be careful and tie you up."

It can be seen that the old man is still a little wary of him.

However, Lu Chen didn't mind. If he confessed his heart as soon as they met, it would be like rubbing his brain on the ground.

It was just that when he heard the other party's name, his heart moved slightly.

Then immediately made a happy expression.

"It turns out that the two of you are also surnamed Xu, so we belong to the same family! I'm Xu Xian, written in Chinese. My ancestor Shangyuan was also from the Yuhang area."

"Back then, my ancestors decided to leave their hometowns and go out to work hard, but although they saved a lot of money, they died of illness early. Now I am the only one left. After much deliberation, I decided to return to my hometown to find my ancestors, which can be regarded as returning to my roots."

With emotion, he vividly expressed the feeling of being closer to the country and being more timid.

"Xu Xian? Well, I've never heard of it."

The old man was taken aback, and looked him up and down, a little dubiously.

"It's such a coincidence."

Lu Chen wasn't worried either, and took out a silver coin from his pocket, and forced it into the old man's hand under the dull gaze of the old man.

"This is a little kindness, and it can be regarded as the reward for saving me, old gentleman, please accept it!"

"The other thing is to ask the two of you to show me the way. I want to find the patriarch of our Xu family so that I can return to the genealogy and not become an outsider."

As soon as Yinzi came out, the old man's attitude changed instantly, and he immediately beamed with joy.

He carefully hid the silver in his pocket. It turned out that there were a few small cloth bags sewn inside the mandarin jacket, which seemed to hide a few copper coins. The thick silver bulged up instantly when it was hidden.

But the old man didn't feel uncomfortable coughing at all, on the contrary, his face was about to burst into laughter.

"It's easy to talk about. My son, please come with me, and I will take you to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors!!!"

As if he was afraid that Lu Chen would go back and take the money back, he immediately walked ahead and led the way.

The little girl followed him and asked happily, "Grandpa, how much money is that?"

"Shh, you stupid girl! Keep your voice down!"

The old man hastily covered her mouth, and glanced vigilantly at the passers-by, feeling that everyone looked like a thief with sly eyebrows and mouse eyes, and dared not relax: "Don't talk too much, I will buy you candy later."

He weighed it himself, and it felt like there were 100 taels!

But he has never seen so much money in his life, how dare he believe it, walking on the ground now is like stepping on cotton, he is dizzy, and can't wait to go back immediately to see if it is true or not.
