Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Shuttling between Two Worlds and Gaining a Obedient Wife

 Listening to the little girl's story, Shen Hao was slightly stunned. Then he thought that feudal dynasties were based on agricultural society and had clan culture as cohesion. Men were considered labor force and combat force. Women indeed had no status in feudal times. Usually, women followed their fathers when they were young, their husbands when they grew up, and their sons when they were old. These were all created by the times. After all, this was a feudal dynasty era. Shen Hao sighed. It was just as the saying goes, marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. "My surname is Shen. From now on, you will follow my surname. From now on, I will call you Xiaorou. Your full name is Shen Xiaorou." As soon as Shen Hao finished speaking, Xiaorou was immediately moved to tears. She finally had someone to rely on. Shen Young Master was willing to give her his surname, which meant that he recognized her as a member of the Shen family. She didn't have to worry about being sold again in the future. Looking at the sobbing Xiaorou, Shen Hao was a little puzzled: "Xiaorou, why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?" Xiaorou quickly wiped away her tears and said, "No. I'm just a little touched. Young master, you are so kind to me. I will definitely serve you well in the future." Just as the two were talking, the surrounding refugees all gathered around. There were many who sold their sons and daughters. These refugees all looked at Shen Hao eagerly, hoping to exchange some life-saving rations from this rich young master. "Young master, my boy is just thirteen years old. As long as you give him something to eat, he will serve you like an ox or a horse." "Please, be kind and give me some rations. My humble wife at home is willing to serve young master." "I used to be a carpenter in the county. I know a little craftsmanship. Does young master's mansion lack a carpenter? As long as there is something to eat!" As more and more refugees gathered, the stench became more and more pungent. Shen Hao also found that the situation was a bit不妙. If he stayed here any longer, there might be danger. After all, these were all refugees. They could do anything when they lost their minds. Shen Hao hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and ran towards the distance. Xiaorou also quickly followed her young master. Now, Xiaorou already considered herself a member of the Shen family. No matter where Shen Hao went, she would go there. Only by following this reliable person could she survive. If she stayed behind, she would only be sold again by her father. Maybe she would even be exchanged for food by trading children. "Young master, wait for me. Don't leave Xiaorou alone!" Xiaorou, barefoot, stepped on the uneven muddy ground and chased after Shen Hao all the way. It wasn't until the two ran to a forest that they shook off the refugees. Standing deep in the forest, Shen Hao took a long breath. What should he do now? It was said that time-travelers had golden fingers. So where was his golden finger? Without a golden finger, how could he survive this famine year? Shen Hao even missed the days of being a corporate slave in the modern world. At least in peaceful times, he wouldn't starve to death. Looking at this world now, starving to death was the norm. People sold their children for food at every turn. Human life was simply not valuable. Just as Shen Hao was thinking about how to survive, Xiaorou tightly grasped his hand. "Young master, don't you want Xiaorou anymore?" Xiaorou's eyes were red and she looked at Shen Hao pitifully, just like a child who had done something wrong. Shen Hao looked at this dirty little girl and lost his temper. Born in a famine year and having a cruel father. If he didn't want this little girl, she would definitely be sold by her father again. The next time she was sold wouldn't be so lucky. At best, she would be sold to a brothel to receive customers. At worst, she would be directly sold to others to be eaten as "two-legged sheep". "Alright, don't cry. I didn't abandon you. I was just thinking about how to go home." "Home? Young master, are you taking me home with you?" Xiaorou wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Shen Hao excitedly. Just as Shen Hao was thinking about how he came to this world. Suddenly, he remembered that it seemed to be related to the jade pendant on his chest. Before, he was eating instant noodles at home. The jade pendant on his chest flashed. When the light disappeared, he came to this world. This jade pendant was bought by him from a street stall last week. Could it be that time-traveling was related to the jade pendant? The more Shen Hao thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. So he took out the jade pendant to check. In an instant, the jade pendant reflected like a mirror and showed the appearance of the Blue Star world. Just as Shen Hao had the intention to go back, in an instant he was sent back to Blue Star. As the white light disappeared and looking at the furnishings at home and all kinds of modern electrical appliances, Shen Hao took a long breath. He had obtained a double-crossing item just like in novels. This jade pendant connected two worlds. Moreover, Shen Hao also found that only he could activate this jade pendant. It seemed that it had already recognized him as its master. Just as Shen Hao took a long breath, suddenly there was a scream from beside him! "Ah! Where is this? Why are there people talking inside this wooden board!" Xiaorou pointed at the flat-screen TV and was so scared that she couldn't stop trembling. Shen Hao was also stunned. He had actually brought Xiaorou here too. But this also indirectly proved that people and objects from the two worlds could be transported normally. Shen Hao looked at Xiaorou and thought for a while and said, "This is my home and also a fairyland. Bringing you here is your blessing. But you can't tell others about what's here. Otherwise, you will definitely go to the eighteenth level of hell!" Hearing Shen Hao's warning, the superstitious Xiaorou immediately believed it. Xiaorou was so easy to deceive, all thanks to the Great Qian Dynasty's good methods of keeping the people ignorant. Almost all the people of the Great Qian Dynasty were feudal and superstitious. For example, they believed in cause and effect reincarnation. Suffering in this life is because they didn't accumulate enough blessings in the previous life. Now, as long as everything unreasonable is attributed to the immortals, it becomes reasonable. Xiaorou looked at Shen Hao with admiration in her eyes. Unexpectedly, she had actually met the legendary immortal. And the immortal had brought her to his home. Looking at these magical utensils, they must be the immortal artifacts of the immortals. Xiaorou pointed at the TV and asked, "Young master, how did you put people inside this black wooden board?" Shen Hao put his hand on his forehead. Since he didn't produce TVs, he'd better not explain the principle to her. "This is immortal art. You wouldn't understand even if I told you." Shen Hao walked to the sofa and sat down. Just as he was about to take a good rest, he immediately smelled a stench. This stench was emitted from Xiaorou. "I almost forgot. Hurry up and take a bath." Shen Hao hurriedly pulled Xiaorou and rushed straight to the bathroom. The hot water had already been heated in the water tank. As long as the shower head was turned on, one could take a bath. But Xiaorou was originally an ancient person and didn't understand how to use modern electrical appliances at all. She stood in the shower room and looked at Shen Hao helplessly. Shen Hao had no choice but to teach her how to use the bathing tools hand in hand. Fortunately, Xiaorou was young and had a strong ability to accept. As long as Shen Hao demonstrated once, she immediately learned how to use them. Shen Hao didn't like such a dirty girl in the first place. After teaching her how to take a bath, he left on his own. Leaving Xiaorou alone in the shower room, looking around curiously.
