Chapter 18: I am a traveler
Chapter 18: I am a time traveler
During dinner, Yi Fan came to the shop in front with two jars of wine. Old Man Wu and the others were having dinner. When they saw Yi Fan coming, they stood up and greeted him. Yi Fan responded one by one, indicating that they didn’t have to be too polite.
He put the wine jar in front of Old Man Wu: "Master Wu, this is the wine I just brewed today. You always taste it."
Old Man Wu looked at the wine jar and swallowed hard, bowed and said, "Little Langjun, this is not something you can do. Old man, I haven't drunk many times in my life, so how can I taste any wine!"
"Master Wu, don't postpone it. Just pretend to relieve everyone's fatigue. Just go back and promote it to me in Chang'an City. Just say that I have the most fragrant, strongest wine and the most delicious food.
I won’t disturb you all the meals, but I’ll say first that my wine is several times stronger than the ones you drank before. Don’t drink too much, as it will be bad if you delay going to work tomorrow.”
When Yi Fan turned into the backyard, the group couldn't sit still. The general was holding the wine jar and surrounded the old man Wu, who was surrounded by the wine jar.
"Uncle Wu, pour me a bowl, mom, I still drank once when I got married."
"Uncle Wu, don't listen to him, give me a bowl first."
"Bo Wu..."
"Bo Wu..."
Old Man Wu, who was squeezed to the point of being tilted, roared: "Don't squeeze, you can shout whatever you want, sit down for me, everyone has it. But I'll just say it first, if anyone drinks too much today, I can't come tomorrow, so don't blame me, Mr. Wu for turning against others.
This is the shopkeeper who is very kind. Seeing that everyone has worked hard these days, I specially used two jars of wine to relieve everyone's fatigue. Don't be ignorant of drinking too much, which delays the shopkeeper's opening time. Then I see if you still want your wages."

After dinner, Yi Fan was walking in the yard. He accidentally saw Wu Meiniang staring blankly in the pavilion in the middle of the yard. So he walked over, sat down aside, and asked, "Did you miss home?"
Wu Meiniang shook her head, nodded again, and said, "Yes, I miss home, I'm thinking about why my home is different from other people's homes. Other people's homes are full of love, but my home is full of plots and conspiracies."
Yi Fan poured himself a glass of water, drank it all, and said, "That must be the head of your family that is not qualified."
Wu Meiniang looked at the bright moon that had risen to the branch and said lightly: "Maybe!"
Perhaps because he didn't want to mention the past, Wu Meiniang changed the topic: "I wonder where Xiaolangjun came from? If you can understand so many strange and miscellaneous studies, you must be a famous sect."
"A famous sect?" When Yi Fan heard this word, he wanted to laugh. He was a person who had not even finished high school and had nothing to do with the word "a famous sect".
If the person who traveled through time was a Tsinghua University or Peking University, it would be almost the same to say that he was a famous sect.
Seeing Yi Fan silent for a long time, Wu Meiniang thought she had asked something she shouldn't ask.
"If you are inconvenient to tell me, just pretend that I have not asked you well. I know that the more famous the sect there are, the more rules you have, so don't make any taboos you have made."
Wu Meiniang's words reminded Yi Fan of his student life, then his family, and the entire modern society.
Perhaps for the ancients, the high school they attended, which could accommodate about 2,000 people, could be considered a famous sect!
For a moment, Yi Fan's thoughts were a little melancholy. He looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky and said to Wu Meiniang: "Mei Niang, if I tell you that I am a time traveler, would you believe it?"
"Time Traveler? What is Time Traveler?" Wu Meiniang looked puzzled.
Yi Fan felt a little sarcastic. In the past, when reading novels, those who traveled through time were always kept as a time traveler, so that they would not let others know anything. In fact, what if they could say it openly? Yi Fan wanted to try it today.
"This time traveler is a person who suddenly goes from one world to another for no reason. I call this kind of person a time traveler, and I am this kind of person."
Wu Meiniang laughed out loud: "Young man doesn't want to tell me your master. If you don't tell me, why do you need to make up some lies to tell me? I only heard that people will go to another world after they die, but you live well in front of me. Are you a ghost?"
Yi Fan was speechless and no one believed the truth, which was also a very depressing thing: "I tell you, I am a time traveler. In our world, people can fly in the sky, swim under the sea, and even go up to the moon."
Wu Meiniang stood up and touched Yi Fan's forehead: "Little Langjun, have you had some hysteria? How can you just talk nonsense?"
Yi Fan took a step back and said seriously: "What I said is true."
Wu Meiniang couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled, "You little husband, fly for me and let me see it, and then I'll go to the moon."
Yi Fan was speechless: "I...well, I admit that I was talking nonsense just now. It's getting late. Mei Niang, please rest soon."
Looking at Yi Fan who turned and left, Wu Meiniang whispered to herself: "Thank you Yi Fan, thank you for coming up with such an absurd story for me to make me happy."
Yi Fan returned to his room a little lonely and lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a while. Some things kept in his heart were actually very uncomfortable, and it would be much better to say them.
Tonight Yi Fan destroyed the first law of time travel, that is, the identity of the time traveler cannot be exposed, although she did not believe that listener. She also didn't know if there would be an organization dedicated to managing the time traveler to cause trouble for him.

In the next few days, Yi Fan and the others were distilling the wine, which made the whole yard full of wine all day long.
After nearly ten days of hard work, the yard was filled with dozens of jars of distilled liquor. Looking at these distilled liquors, Yi Fan felt full of pride.
Wu Meiniang also looked at these wine jars, but she was thinking about safety issues. If others knew about it, this method of refining good wine was only in the hands of a few children who were only in their teenage years old. She still didn't know what kind of storm this family would endure.
"Little Langjun, we should find a few guards. The wine is just placed at home like this. There are not many guards who guard the house, so we feel uncomfortable.
Besides, if someone had a peek at the secret recipe of this wine, what might be used.”
Wu Meiniang's words reminded Yi Fan of what happened to Wang Gui last time, although Wang Gui was finally blown away by the earth explosives he made.
Yi Fan still doesn't want to have such a situation. If he wants to live happily in this world, he must have the power to protect himself.
You can't use earth explosives every time. If you use them too many times, you will inevitably be targeted by those who are interested. This is what Yi Fan is most reluctant to happen. Gunpowder can be said to be the biggest life-saving weapon for Yi Fan, a time traveler, and you must not let others master it.
