Baomei scanned the room as she was told, took out the key from under the flowerpot, and opened the drawer. Sure enough, there was a leather-bound notepad lying inside. Before she could look through it, Baomei's mother started talking again.
"Did you get the notepad, right? You have grown up, and I once promised you that I would allow you to travel alone when you grow up. Now, do you choose any country on the earth, or do you think you will impulsively take a time travel? Your mother will support you. After all, you have the right to know how you came into this world, and you have the right to know who your father is. It's a pity that my mother was too greedy and took them away. The sperm of six people were recombined together, which indirectly caused you not to have one biological father, but six. About this, if you don't forgive me, Sister Bao, I have nothing to say. However, remember, mom is really looking forward to your birth because she loves you. My dear, I love you. I wish you the best happiness in the world."
Mom...
Baomei couldn't help but burst into tears again. She held the diary left by her mother in both hands and pressed it tightly to her chest, "I love you too."
"No. 185 Grand Road, well, that's right here." Baomei stood in front of a bungalow with a diary and faced the house number. Yes, that's right, this is Professor Emerson's home.
Ding dong——
A servant opened the door, and Baomei stood on tiptoe and shouted, "Is Professor Emerson at home?"
"Who is the lady?" the servant asked respectfully.
Baomei smiled and said, "Hello, please tell Professor Emerson that I am Anna's daughter. My mother visited him 14 years ago. Thank you."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The servant turned around and went into the house to inform. Soon he came out quickly to open the door, welcomed Baomei into the house, and served drinks.
"Thanks."
"Are you the daughter of that ghost girl?" An old man strolled down the spiral staircase. He was gray-haired and energetic. He looked her up and down and said, "You don't look like her."
"The eyes are like, dear Mr. Emerson." Baomei reminded.
"It sounds a bit like what you said. Your mother is very clever. You can't be like her."
Baomei chuckled, "Like mother, like daughter."
"That's right." Emerson nodded with the same view, "You came to see me for something? Where is your mother?"
When she mentioned her mother, Baomei's eyes darkened, "My mother passed away."
"Oh, sorry. Forgive my negligence. Is there anything I can do to help?" Emerson is old, but that does not mean he is old and confused. They have not been in contact with each other for more than 10 years, but Anna's daughter came to him after her death, vaguely smelling something unusual.
Baomei sat up respectfully, "My mother left me a notepad and a CD with your address in it. If I want to find someone for help, she told me to come to you."
"Find me?"
"Yes, I want to use the time shuttle you developed to go to the dynasty where my mother went." Baomei said sincerely.
Emerson glanced at her shrewdly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Can you tell me your reason? Back then, your mother left without even saying a reason, and didn't say a word when she came back. I've always been confused about this matter. If I help you, will you help me solve this confusion?"
Baomei thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "I want to go there to find my father. I am the child of my mother's artificial insemination."
Emerson suddenly realized that it turned out to be the case. The woman who wanted to live and die back then was to steal the sperm of the ancients and come back to have children. Alas, he is old and cannot compare to the boldness of these young people.
"Then are you ready? If you are, come with me to the laboratory." Emerson stood up, asked the driver to drive out, and led Baomei into the car to drive to the laboratory in the suburbs.
In the time shuttle cabin, Baomei hugged her hiking bag uneasily. Emerson stood in front of her helplessly, pointing at her big bag, "There is no way I can send you there with so many things. It's easy to show up a deviation."
"But these are all must-haves: my underwear, cosmetics, iPod, digital camera, computer, solar charger, diary, gold coins,..." Baomei muttered a long list, and Emerson was listening. His forehead is getting darker and darker.
"Why don't you bring Santiago's house with you."
"I can't take the real estate." Baomei looked like I really want to do that but can't help it.
"Nonsense! Take them all out for me, or don't go." Emerson yelled angrily.
A small hand stretched out in front of him, and he blew his beard angrily, "What are you doing?"
Baomei spread her hands and found a piece of jade Ruyi in her palm. It was emerald green in color, pure in texture, and exquisitely carved. It looked like a top-quality product at first glance.
Emerson's eyes were accidentally shaken again, and he hesitated for a while: "Wait a minute." He left for a moment and then came back, reluctantly putting a black watch on her wrist. Under Baomei's surprised gaze, he pressed a small switch next to it, and a hole about one cubic meter in size immediately appeared.
Without waiting for Baomei to ask questions, Emerson picked up the package from her arms and threw it into the hole. Strangely, the thing was stable in the hole and did not fall to the ground.
"It's so amazing." Baomei exclaimed.
"This is a time bag. I didn't want to give it to you because you are Anna's daughter. This is a time and space bag. I didn't want to give it to you. For the sake of you being Anna's daughter, take good care of this watch. If the watch is broken, you won't be able to get it out."
Baomei excitedly rushed forward and kissed Emerson's wrinkled face, "Thank you." She put the piece of jade Ruyi into Emerson's pocket.
After closing the door of the time capsule and counting down, after ten seconds, Baomei instantly disappeared into Emerson's laboratory.
Emerson looked at the empty time capsule and felt a little disappointed. The time capsule he developed was always only noticed by mother and daughter. If it weren't for the priceless jade that Anna gave him, he would not have completed his experiment, lived a prosperous life, and took out the piece of jade Ruyi from his pocket. Emerson smiled. Now he no longer needs to sell his treasure; he just wants to leave a souvenir.
Outside Bianliang City in Tokyo, a person suddenly fell from the sky in a well-growing rice field and smashed into the soil. It frightened the peasant women who were working next to the fields. They didn't care about the damaged seedlings and just kept busy. Look carefully with furtive eyes.
The person who fell down pretended to be dead for a few seconds and suddenly turned over, facing up to the sky, and sprayed out a pile of dirt from his mouth. "Bah, bah" he finally cleaned up the dirt in his mouth with the back of his hand, because his legs were temporarily paralyzed and he could only The east wind blows into a ball-shaped cloud in the sky that stares in all directions, floating and floating.
I'm alive.
This was the first reaction of Baomei's brain. The second reaction was to jump up from the ground and shout: "I'm wearing it! I'm finally wearing it!"
The peasant woman's face darkened; she was a madman!
"Hey, you smashed my seedlings. Which family's daughter came out to run wild?"
Baomei was excited when she suddenly heard someone talking to the side. She realized that a human-shaped seedling field was crushed under her feet. She quickly jumped out of the rice field and ran to the farmer woman, apologizing again and again: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, can you pay for your family's rice fields?" She took out a gold coin from her trouser pocket and put it into the farmer's hand.
The peasant woman's eyes were wide-eyed, and she didn't speak for a long time. She had worked hard all her life and only got a small amount of silver to live on. During the slack time, she did some sewing to earn copper coins to supplement her family's income. When had she ever seen gold? ! She looked at the gold coins, then raised her eyes to look at Baomei, "Girl, this gold coin can't be collected by this old woman. You can keep it close to me so that you can have it when you need it urgently. This overwhelming seedling can still stand upright after two days after absorbing the rainwater." Get up and forget it."
Baomei looked up at the sky, and then at the cracked soil at the head of the field. She thought that God probably hadn't been merciful enough to send any rain for a long time. Baomei knew that since ancient times, people in the crop fields have relied on God for food. Although modern high-tech agricultural farming methods have greatly improved the limitations of relying on nature, after all, it is still a small part, and most of it still relies on natural supplies. This is true in modern times, let alone ancient times.
Farmers work the hardest, especially farm women. Not only do they work in the fields, they also have to cook on the kang and serve the men and children when they get home. They get up earlier than chickens and work harder than donkeys, so they have more grievances. When they have more grievances, they like to nagging, nagging, nagging, and then it is passed down from generation to generation, and it becomes a symbol of women when it is passed down to future generations.
This is Bao Mei's mother's fallacy. Bao Mei just listens happily. Now standing here, seeing the old woman wearing gray clothes and straw sandals, she insists on holding them no matter what. The old woman can't push them away, her hands are trembling. He took it, carefully received the bag, and put it close to his body. One gold coin was enough for their family to live for many years.
The old woman thanked Baomei for being a living Bodhisattva, and Baomei could only smile awkwardly and looked around, "Madam, where is this place?"
The woman asked strangely: "This is outside Bianliang City. Where did the girl come from? Are you going to the city to do something or looking for someone?" After saying that, she patted her mouth. How could someone who can get gold coins still look for trouble? , 80% of them are relatives of some high-ranking official.
When Baomei heard this, she smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth, "I'm here to find someone, but I just don't know if it's the right dynasty." The latter sentence was meant for herself.
"You're looking for someone, then you have to go to the city and find a calligrapher to help you check. I heard that there is a man named 'Ghost Comes to Calculate.' He's so accurate! Girls, you might as well go and have a look." The old woman gave kind advice. .
Baomei glanced at the two baskets of red fruits beside the old woman. They were small and delicate, and asked quickly: "Auntie, what kind of fruits are these?" When the aunt heard this, she quickly pulled out a piece of cloth, wrapped a bag, and stuffed it into Baomei's hand, "My man went to the mountains to pick the fruits. If you don't mind, the girl will try them. A man from an official family passed by here two days ago. Seeing my son eating and celebrating nearby, he ordered two to try. The young master thought it was good and asked if there were any more. If he could buy more in a few days, he threw away two taels of silver and left. Isn't this what my man said? I went to pick more. I don't know if the young man still remembers it, but my man said that people should be more honest. Since others have thrown money away, they have to wait to give things to others. I sat on the ground for two days, waiting. The young man came to get the fruit and pick up the grass in his own field. Has the girl eaten? We poor people don't have much good things. I baked a few cakes at home in the morning. The girl didn't mind, so she ate some to fill her stomach and rush in. City, the girl will feel comfortable once we get to the city." After saying that, he took out a few pancakes wrapped in oil paper from the basket and handed them to Baomei.
Not to mention, smelling the aroma of pancakes, Baomei really felt a little hungry. She smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm not welcome."
The old woman laughed loudly, "You're welcome, let's eat." She compared the girl in front of her with her own daughter. Seeing that Bao Mei was eating happily, her dark face also smiled brightly.
While eating, someone far behind was chatting happily. The woman looked back and quickly stood up respectfully. Baomei also looked back without knowing why. The two men were both very young, one in white and one in dark green, I think they are the ones the aunt is waiting for.
