Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 115: Crossing Revelation 1

In the bustling and bustling modern city, Su Mengyao is like an inconspicuous speck of dust, quietly working as an ordinary librarian.

My daily work is to organize the bookshelves and register borrowing information. My life is dull and unchanging.

Fate always likes to play tricks on people. On a normal day, an unexpected accident happened.

When Su Mengyao slowly woke up from her coma, what she saw made her dumbfounded - she was actually in a lush and flourishing bamboo forest!

Surrounded by quaint pavilions and towers, people in ancient costumes are walking hurriedly or leisurely among them.

All this is simply a fantasy for Su Mengyao, who has always lived in a modern city.

Her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She slowly sat up and muttered to herself, "Where the hell is this? How did I end up here for no apparent reason?"

Before she finished speaking, the slightly trembling tone revealed her deep inner fear and anxiety.

People passing by also cast curious and strange glances at her. After all, the modern clothes Su Mengyao was wearing were so out of tune with the times that she naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

For a moment, whispers were heard everywhere, as if everyone was commenting on this uninvited guest.

Gradually, Su Mengyao began to come back to her senses, and a shocking thought emerged in her mind - could it be that she really traveled through time and space to ancient times just like in those novels and TV dramas?

Thinking of this, she felt her heart pounding wildly, as if it was about to burst out of her chest.

All kinds of questions flooded into my mind like a tide: What exactly caused this bizarre journey?

Can he return to the world he was familiar with? And how can he survive in this completely unfamiliar environment?

She took a deep breath and slowly stood up, her hands trembling slightly as she tried hard to calm her heart which was beating like a deer.

She knew very well that in this completely unfamiliar and mysterious world, if she could not quickly adapt to the surrounding environment and various red tape, then the only thing waiting for her would be elimination.

So, she bit her lower lip tightly, suppressing the fear from the bottom of her heart and making her eyes firm.

Although her heart was already filled with anxiety and uneasiness at this moment, on the surface, she appeared to be extraordinarily calm and composed.

Su Mengyao stood quietly in the crowded and noisy market, like a green lotus isolated from the world.

Her beautiful eyes were like nimble butterflies, moving lightly among the vendors in ancient costumes and the customers coming and going.

Everything before her was so new and wonderful, as if she had opened a door to an unknown territory. A vague sense of unease also lingered in her heart, unable to be shaken off.

After all, her fashionable modern outfit was too eye-catching, forming a sharp contrast with the people around her who were dressed in simple and plain ancient costumes.

The exquisitely tailored cropped top she wore, paired with ripped jeans and a pair of colorful sneakers, made her look like an alien from another time and space.

Not only that, the habitual movements that she inadvertently revealed in her gestures were completely inconsistent with the etiquette norms of this ancient era.

For example, she walked briskly and casually, unlike the women here who walked with light steps.

When talking to people, she would always unconsciously raise her hands to gesture, instead of nodding or bowing slightly like the ancients.

All these made her seem so strange and out of place in this ancient era. Wherever she went, she would inevitably attract the curious eyes of people around her.

Some people stared at her with their eyes wide open, as if they wanted to see through her.

Some were whispering to each other, discussing the origins of this strange woman who appeared out of nowhere.

What's more, some people simply stopped what they were doing and stopped to watch.

Among this group of curious people, an old villager with wrinkles on his face was particularly eye-catching.

He frowned tightly, and his already sunken eye sockets narrowed into two thin slits. However, his cloudy eyes revealed a sharp light as he carefully looked Su Mengyao up and down from head to toe.

He sometimes shook his head, sometimes nodded slightly, and kept muttering, "Your behavior is really weird! Who walks and talks like you? It's totally inappropriate!"

There was a hint of blame in his tone, and he was obviously puzzled by Su Mengyao's unusual behavior.

Su Mengyao knew very well that if she could not quickly integrate into the culture and customs of this era, she would find it difficult to take root in this unfamiliar land.

So, she took a deep breath, as if to absorb all her courage into her chest, and then silently muttered in her heart: "No matter what, I must master the rules here!"

Although her voice was as soft as the flapping of a mosquito's wings, the unwavering determination contained in it was so clearly audible.

Next, Su Mengyao opened her eyes wide and carefully observed every move of the people around her.

She paid attention to everything from their gestures to their words and deeds, even the slightest change in expression, striving to glimpse the unique rules and patterns of this era and emulate them.

However, the reality was far from what she had imagined. After all, there was an insurmountable gap between her modern way of thinking and the rules of this ancient era.

Every attempt she makes usually ends in failure. Those seemingly natural and smooth movements and words become stiff, awkward and funny once she does or says them.

Gradually, as Su Mengyao came into more and more contact with the local residents, the contradictions and conflicts between them began to slowly surface.

Whenever she encountered some strange phenomena, she couldn't help but want to use the modern scientific knowledge she was familiar with to make a reasonable explanation.

But what she never expected was that such an action would be regarded as heresy and treason in the eyes of others.

Similarly, when she communicates with others according to modern habits and methods, she is either considered to be impolite or regarded as a deliberate provocation and offense.

Faced with these setbacks and misunderstandings, Su Mengyao felt helpless and confused, but she did not give up. Instead, she became more determined to break through the difficulties and truly integrate into the world...
