Two Worlds: I Became an Immortal

Chapter 2 Dongyang County

Although the people in that world don't seem to be very friendly to him, if he is careful and leaves that place, then this will be his chance.

An opportunity that allows you to travel between two worlds.

Thinking of this, Song Yunyuan took a deep breath and then began to prepare.

First of all, judging from the clothes of the people he had just seen, they should not be much different from those in ancient China.

In this case, he would need to prepare clothes, a wig, and shoes as well.

Wear a stab-proof suit under your clothes, and then consider getting a blast-proof shield?
If he found someone guarding it when he went there, maybe this thing could save his life. At least he would have time to react and leave that world.

I left in a hurry and didn't communicate with the other party, but I seemed to hear the people from that world speaking vaguely.

It seems like he can understand what you said?

Song Yunyuan recalled the details of that world and couldn't help but ponder it in his mind.

It would be even better if I could understand that world.

Thinking about these things in his mind, Song Yunyuan still placed an order to buy suitable clothes, shoes, wigs, and stab-proof clothing.

Next, all you have to do is wait for the goods to be delivered.

"Come to think of it, how did I suddenly manage to travel to other worlds?"

After buying things, Song Yunyuan couldn't help but start thinking about this matter again.

In all these years, he had never been able to go to other worlds like today, but today he could suddenly do so. Could it be that
Suddenly, Song Yunyuan seemed to remember something and quickly reached for the thing on his neck.

However, the place where he started was empty, and the thing that was originally hanging around his neck had disappeared.

Song Yunyuan noticed this and quickly turned around and went to the bathroom. Looking at himself in the mirror, he found that the small yin-yang fish pendant on his neck had disappeared.

Such a scene actually confirmed what he was thinking.

So, is this really the thing?

Song Yunyuan picked up this yin-yang pendant by chance in a dilapidated Taoist temple. He thought it was beautiful at the time, but also felt that his luck had been too bad during that period, so he carried it with him, hoping that it would bring good luck.

Now that this thing has mysteriously disappeared and I have suddenly gained such ability, the only explanation is that it is indeed because of this pendant.

"The evening breeze blows up the white hair on your temples." The cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.

"Hey?"

Song Yunyuan looked at the unfamiliar number on his phone and answered it directly.

"Mr. Song?" A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me." Song Yunyuan replied.

"It's like this. We are a painting company. If you pass our interview and there are no problems, you can come to work."

The sweet voice continued to speak at this time.

Song Yunyuan was stunned when he heard this, and then he immediately remembered that after he was fired, he also started looking for a job.

But these days it is really difficult to find a job that you like and pays well.

Especially during this period of time, he had been running around everywhere and spent a lot of money on travel expenses. Some companies were far away, which really made Song Yunyuan very tired.

"I'm sorry, I've already started working at another company."

Song Yunyuan came back to his senses and made up a lie in reply.

Of course, he didn't really have another company to work for. It was mainly because of the sudden appearance of the world that left him no time to be distracted and go to work. "Okay."

The girl on the other end of the phone was very straightforward and hung up the phone directly after hearing this.

Song Yunyuan didn't care either, his mind was still full of thoughts about the other world.

"Dongyang County, has it become like this? In the past, this place was a land of plenty!"

In another world, after inspecting the situation in Dongyang County, County Magistrate Dai Mingxuan looked a little unhappy.

He knew that the situation in Dongyang County was very bad, but he didn't expect it to be so bad!
In the early years, all the fields here were full of rice seedlings. You could see cows plowing the fields, and you could also see chickens and ducks raised in the villages.

When spring comes, the place is hazy with mist and rain, and willow trees and other large trees all around are sprouting tender green branches.

But now, these lands have become barren, and there are only a few people left in Dongyang County.

The surrounding trees had already been cut down.

Thinking of this, Dai Mingxuan couldn't help but cover his chest, feeling a little painful.

"There have been continuous droughts, and not only have the fields been barren, but taxes have also been imposed. The people who could not make ends meet have sold their fields, but the names of the people who paid the taxes on the fields are still in their names."

"I have no land to farm, and now I have to pay land taxes. I have no choice but to become a tenant farmer. However, due to the continuous drought, I can't grow any food on the land. I also have to pay land taxes to the gentry and the court. How can I afford all this money?"

"Naturally"

The chief clerk who was following Dai Mingxuan licked his cracked lips, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

His withered and thin face was also full of sadness.

"My Lord County Magistrate, I know you have great ambitions, but the situation here is hopeless and you alone cannot turn the tide."

Dai Mingxuan heard this with a determined look on his face, "Don't talk nonsense. Now that I, Dai Mingxuan, have come here, I will definitely not leave so easily."

Upon hearing this, the chief clerk opened his mouth, wanting to persuade him, but then he sighed and said nothing.

I think that when the other party really starts to implement their own governance policy, they will realize that this place is beyond human control.

If we really want to turn this place into a land of fish and rice again, perhaps only an immortal can do it.

The immortal chief clerk couldn't help but feel a little moved when he thought of this.

He was not there before, and only later did he hear people say that there was an immortal blocking the road, and then he left.

Listening to the strange stories told by the people around me, I wonder if there really are immortals?
If there is, perhaps this immortal has really arrived and can solve the problem of this place and make it a land of fish and rice again.

Dai Mingxuan did not continue to ask about the situation here, but instead said, "I have brought 100 dan of disaster relief grain with me this time. Go and post a notice to inform the people that disaster relief will begin tomorrow."

One hundred shi of grain?

When the chief clerk heard this, his face first showed joy and then frowned.

"Sir, there are about 2,000 refugees in the city right now. If we only assume that each person gets half a pound of food a day, then 2,000 people will need 1,000 pounds of food a day. 100 dan of food will only be enough for 12 days."

Dai Mingxuan sighed upon hearing this, "The national treasury is empty. It is not easy for me to bring a hundred dan of grain. Let's use it for disaster relief first, and don't let anyone starve to death again."

When he just arrived, he had already seen many people starving to death on the roadside. Now he could only provide disaster relief first.

"But sir, if we start providing disaster relief, other people in Dongyang County will see it and will definitely mix in with the refugees to get the relief food. It's possible that the relief food won't even last for twelve days."

The chief clerk hesitated, but still expressed his concerns. Disaster relief is not that simple.

Dai Mingxuan's face changed slightly when he heard this. This was indeed a tricky problem.
