Chapter 3, The Unfortunate Yan State

Frustrated, even my usually confident figure can only be temporarily obscured

And I ended up in an authentic prison without doing anything, just like a social practice activity

Just like me, I have already cried for an entire afternoon, and my heart aches to the point that I wish my entire chest would disappear. Yet, I still cannot dispel that deep-seated fear

At this moment, I am wearing an oversized black T-shirt and black jeans, which are commonly worn by street dancers. On my feet are black NIKE basketball shoes, and I have a black cap on my head. This is what I have prepared to wear for my performance. Underneath, I am also wearing a black Adidas sports tank top.

In the 21st century, the relationship between family and school can no longer be measured by distance

Zhang ... ... the head of the capture, which dynasty is this from

Due to my relatively neutral facial features, I have unfortunately (as the current situation suggests) opted for a short hairstyle, and I recently cut it extremely short because of the summer heat. My classmates all say that it looks very stylish and cool.

I am currently in the midst of "ugliness"

It is now nearly midnight, and the small skylight on the high wall serves merely as a decoration, offering no light whatsoever

Reflecting on what I learned in middle school, in this world without computers, without https://www.hetushucom.com, without pencils, and without physics, chemistry, or biology, I truly feel like a useless person

The smell of my father's cigarettes, my mother's pickled fish, the seamless jokes among classmates—these instantly became memories

However, in this place where both men and women have hair that reaches their waists, I am clearly on the same level as a monster

But I, all of a sudden, have nothing but life left.

I came to my senses and noticed that a bowl of what appeared to be feed had already been placed near the iron railing in the corridor outside.

I heard JOJO say that her handheld computer is solar-powered, but unfortunately, I do not know how to use it. I wonder if I can figure it out.

Indeed

Historical dramas have not deceived me in one aspect; the prison truly reflects social phenomena: darkness

If I don't want to die, I must live well in this world. Given my inexplicable situation of having crossed over, the possibility of returning is quite slim

His face looked as if it were congested, his brows tightly furrowed, and he shouted: "How can you still be laughing? Speak! What exactly do you want to do?"

The official is surprisingly just a little older than me, a mere child. With a face resembling that of a doll, round eyes, and not very tall—at most about 1.7 meters—his flushed cheeks reveal his nervousness.

Crying to death, the future is bleak, and there is no light in the darkness

Heavens! Why should I learn the violin? If I had spent those 10 years on the guzheng or guqin, perhaps I could have performed in a brothel, showcasing my skills without compromising myself... In special circumstances, I might consider compromising myself, after all, I do not hold particularly conservative views.

Thrown to the ground without mercy, the wooden bench made a loud crash, and the interrogation began

A suit that is very suitable for showing off... But here, I am just a terrorist in a bodysuit that has been altered to be wider

Instant petrification

Spending an entire afternoon in such a place, all alone, is truly a way that wears down one's spirit.

The fountain pen was purchased at a high price by my uncle from a place rumored to be a black market. Although I have never used a fountain pen, it would indeed be a pity to leave such a COOL pen unused, so I carry it with me to show off wherever I go

In a state of utter despair and sorrow, I was taken to the government office in Hangzhou

Just as I was feeling fortunate, a voice exclaimed, "Dinner is served!" interrupting my train of thought

It seems that there are also people in the cell opposite, but since I arrived here, I have not moved an inch from the books. I have also tried calling out a couple of times, but as expected, there was no response

I can recite the poem "Goose, Goose, Goose," but I have no lengthy discourse to offer. God knows what an ordinary girl like me, who has never even attended high school, is capable of doing

What I carry with me is a birthday gift for my father, a ZIPPO lighter, a ten yuan banknote, a brand new handheld computer of a certain brand left by my friend JOJO at my home, and also a Parker pen that I habitually carry.

Behind the solid walls and iron bars lie moldy straw and swarms of rats, akin to the ugliness behind prosperity

Fortunately, there is no dead end.

The audacious and unruly individuals actually smashed the roof of an innocent farmer's house in the countryside, and they spoke nonsensically, saying, "What are your intentions?"

Adhering to the principle of leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist, I decided to be honest, suppress my laughter, and knelt upright to say: "I am Mingqi, a woman from Hangzhou. Two days ago, I went out for a stroll, and on my way home, I fainted for some unknown reason. When I woke up, I had already been dragged by Captain Zhang and another captain."

I haven't had such close contact with mice in a long time. Unlike modern pet mice, the mice here are truly disgusting, fatter than the ones at www.hetushu.com. Their entire bodies are filthy, resembling a virus. Oh God! Please send another flood to drown this disgusting mouse king beside me!

Unfortunately, there is no oversight from the event coordinator here

Well, I admit, alternate history is quite tragic

It is uncertain whether this can be considered a new experience; one must understand that modern individuals, unless they are psychologically unwell or impoverished to the point of resorting to cannibalism, generally do not have the opportunity to commit crimes and serve time in prison

I am not certain about the exact year when the Ming Dynasty began in history, but I am truly certain that there was no such entity as Yan State in history

No matter how optimistic, carefree, or cold-blooded one may be, it is impossible not to feel sorrow

I automatically ignored the obvious disbelief on the young master's face. Relying on my thick skin, I maintained a lingering gaze filled with affection with him for a long time, ultimately causing him to concede defeat.

"Enough, no one can testify to what you say, and no one knows whether it is true or false. Guards, take her and lock her up in prison"

It now seems that this item is indeed the most useful one.

With a heavy heart, observing the situation on the streets where there are more men than women, it is evident that this world still upholds male superiority and female inferiority. What is a girl like me, who has nothing, supposed to do?

Very desperate

However, given the current situation, I really have no other options besides being a seller on www.hetushu.com.

This is a placeholder text.

The head constable tightened his grip on my hand, glared at me fiercely, and his lips twitched for a full minute. Just when I thought he was at a loss for words, he finally spoke: "Yan Guoming, sentenced to 5 years."

Well... A childish voice, I curiously looked up, directly meeting a pair of bright eyes

I can't help but laugh; it feels like I'm playing a game of cops and robbers with my classmates and younger brothers.

Even orphans without relatives cannot escape the support and care of friends

I curled up in the corner, looking utterly miserable. The surroundings were dim, and from time to time, a constable carrying a torch would pass by the corridor. Once the light of the torch disappeared, my eyes would plunge into a very uncomfortable phase of temporary blindness.

Ugh, prison... I don't want to say anything.

Of course, I have not yet reached a point of desperation. Based on my experience, I could work as a maid or a servant

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were indeed marked by conflicts among the feudal states, but even if there were a cursed Yan State back then, it could not possibly resemble the flourishing scene depicted in the current "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

A wandering ronin at least has a distant home as a source of spiritual support; when weary, suffering, or having fallen, he can still return home to be comforted and cared for by his family
