Traveling through the late Ming Dynasty to promote Chinese civilization

Chapter 2 Qiongzhou Prefecture

?

When they learned that they had arrived in Qiongzhou Prefecture at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Ye and Liang Xiaoming fell silent. The woman beside them, knowing their plight and seeing their silence, was also heartbroken. She slowly said to them, "If you gentlemen don't mind, you can rest here for a while. I'll go and call my man back to see if there's anything I can do to help."

Upon hearing the woman's words, Liu Ye and Liang Xiaoming were overjoyed. Liu Ye said gratefully, "Thank you so much for your kindness, elder sister. May I ask your name? We'd like to repay your kindness in the future." The woman quickly replied, "No need to thank me, it's what we should do. Just call me Sister Li." After saying that, Sister Li left.

Liu Ye and Liang Xiaoming exchanged a glance, both feeling they'd met good people. They sat for a while, slowly processing the fact that they'd traveled to the late Ming Dynasty. After a while, Liu Ye slapped his forehead and said, "God, I don't want to time travel! I want to go back! A bright future awaits me there!"

Liang Xiaoming chuckled: "Yezi, since we're here, let's make the best of it and accept reality."

Liu Ye glared at Liang Xiaoming and said, "You son of a bitch, you graduated from a prestigious university, right? I heard you work for a military-industrial enterprise, with a bright future ahead of you. Can you really let go of that?"

Liang Xiaoming shrugged and said, "So what if you can't let go? So what? Do you have a way to go back? Yezi, accept reality."

Liu Ye was speechless. He thought to himself: Is his heart really that big? He accepted it so quickly?

As they talked, it gradually got dark. Liu Ye rubbed his stomach and chuckled, "Dude, it seems we're actually getting a bit hungry, it's already night."

Liang Xiaoming also said, "Yes, I'm hungry too." He quickly took off his backpack, rummaged through it, took out all his personal belongings, and put them on the ground.

Liu Ye looked around listlessly and said, "Mingzi, do you have any food here?" On the ground, there was a compass, a small knife, a bottle of water, a bag of bread, and something else that he couldn't tell what it was.

"What is this thing? It looks like a gun, but not quite." Liu Ye picked it up and examined it. At this moment, Liang Xiaoming said to him, "Look carefully, this is a Ming-style pistol that I made. It has an effective range of 200 meters. This is for my own survival."

"Tsk tsk, you even bring weapons?" Liu Ye picked it up and looked at it again. He quickly snatched the bread from the ground, "Bread is more practical than knives and guns."

Liang Xiaoming reached out and snatched a piece of bread: "Leave some for me." Then he said, "Although we don't need it in modern times, it can save our lives in this chaotic world."

Liu Ye took a bite of bread and a sip of water. After hearing Liang Xiaoming's words, his eyes lit up and he said, "This is good stuff! You really didn't disappoint me."

"Of course, who am I to you?" Liu Ye was speechless when he saw Liang Xiaoming's smug look.

After finishing their bread, the two chatted haphazardly. Just then, they heard voices outside the door, followed by a dark-skinned middle-aged man who walked in, followed by Aunt Li.
