A courtyard house, equipped with a fishing system, living in an era.

"Buying a train ticket into the city?"

The ticket seller at the train station looked up at Xu Ping'an as if he were an idiot.

Perhaps it was his fairly handsome face that had an effect, because the ticket seller's disdainful expression softened.

"Young man, there's only one bus into the city between 6 and 7 in the morning; there are none at other times! If you want to take the train to the city, you'd better hurry tomorrow morning..."

Xu Pingan was completely dumbfounded.

"Why is it between 6 and 7 o'clock? Doesn't it have a fixed departure time?"

The eldest sister looked Xu Ping'an up and down with a suspicious gaze.

"First time riding a train?"

Xu Pingan nodded and quickly explained.

"I'm from Dongying Village, Xiaoqi Town. This is my first time in the county seat..."

"Oh, I see... Our trains are almost never on time! If you don't want to miss your train, you'd better wait here at 5 o'clock..."

After a pause, the other party added.

"You're unlucky too. If you had come half an hour earlier, the train wouldn't have left yet!"

Xu Ping'an was stunned and tilted his head to look at the clock in the station.

Goodness, it's already 10:30 in the morning.

But he clearly heard the ticket seller say that the bus departs between 6 and 7 o'clock...

Tired, let's destroy it...

No wonder people say that in this day and age, carriages and letters are slow, and one's lifetime is only enough to love one person.

It's no wonder that many people live in the suburbs of Beijing these days and have never been inside the city proper in their entire lives.

It turns out that in this day and age, it's so difficult to even go out.

However, Xu Pingan couldn't let himself die from holding in his pee.

After making inquiries from various sources, Xu Pingan finally found a truck that hauled timber from a forest farm.

He gave the other party 5000 yuan as fare, sat in the passenger seat, and drove into the city with a loud rumble.

"Sir, does your factory have trucks coming to pick up goods every day?"

The driver was a middle-aged man named Chen Sibei!

Judging from his appearance, he must be over 50, but he says he's only 37 this year!

This age is actually two or three years younger than Xu Ping'an was before he transmigrated.

You can't tell from their appearance at all...

After seeing many people in this world, Xu Ping'an realized that his ability to judge people's age by their appearance had failed him.

"I'm really not sure! We'll just do it when a mission comes down..."

Upon hearing this news, Xu Pingan's anxiety finally subsided.

After getting on the bus, Xu Pingan touched and looked around.

The car itself wasn't anything special; Xu Ping'an had changed cars several times in his previous life.

I've also driven on road trips to places like Inner Mongolia and the plateau.

The driving mileage is at least 50 to 30 kilometers...

For Xu Ping'an, a car was nothing special!

But damn it, he'd never seen a car that burned charcoal before.

However, his unsophisticated and country bumpkin-like appearance perfectly fits the stereotype of villagers in this era.

This also made Chen Sibei excitedly begin to introduce his old Dodge truck.

Indeed... this car is quite old!

After a tumultuous journey, Xu Ping'an arrived in Beijing, having no particular destination in mind...

The reason I suddenly felt like going to Beijing today is simply because I've come to this era and happen to be living on the outskirts of Beijing. If I don't come and see it, I feel like something is missing.

However, while chatting in the car, Xu Pingan had already figured out what he wanted to do in the city this time.

"Alright, Brother Ping An, you can get off here. If you want to see the Forbidden City, going any further won't be on my way. Just follow this road to the end; it's not far from the Forbidden City. Then ask someone for directions; they'll know exactly what to do!"

"Thank you, Brother Chen!"

After getting off the bus, Xu Pingan felt like his backside wasn't even his own anymore.

Even the best constitution can't withstand such a bumpy ride.

This car is bumpy not only on bad roads, but also on flat roads.

The main point is to broaden Xu Ping'an's horizons!

Xu Pingan spent most of the day strolling around the area around the imperial city.

"Hello, comrade, I'd like to buy a ticket to go inside and have a look around."

"2000 yuan!"

Xu Pingan took out his money, handed it over, and received a handwritten ticket.

As you enter the Palace Museum, you'll find it bustling with visitors.

Xu Pingan now has both money and time, so he can really take his time to explore this imperial city!

Xu Pingan had actually visited the Palace Museum in his previous life.

Unfortunately, all I saw when I arrived was a sea of ​​heads!

While the economy is described as being in a general downturn, tourist attractions are packed with people!

Xu Pingan felt that the world was particularly divided!

I don't know which statement is true and which is false.

Xu Ping'an thoroughly explored the three main halls where the emperor previously handled state affairs, as well as the six palaces on the east and west sides and the imperial garden.

When he sat on the dragon throne, Xu Pingan almost impulsively put it into his backpack.

Thankfully, a sliver of reason remained.

What use is a dragon throne if you don't have the Imperial Seal of the State as your identity card?

Upon arriving at Jingshan Park, he stood at Wanchun Pavilion overlooking the city of Beijing.

Xu Ping'an even went to the old locust tree where Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself to take a look.

Xu Pingan had always wanted to visit this attraction.

But every time I come here, the road up the mountain is packed with people.

In my memory, every time I came to Beijing for sightseeing, I came full of anticipation, and then left disappointed after looking at the back of the head for several days!

This time, no one will try to take my seat, right?

As the sun gradually set, Xu Pingan saw many people coming out to find a shady spot to fish.

When it comes to fishing, he's wide awake!

but……

"Sir, is this a good spot for fishing?"

Xu Pingan looked at the Forbidden City walls across the river, unsure of what to say.

In his memory, fishing was prohibited in this so-called Tongzi River, right?

Xu Pingan really couldn't remember this part.

After all, the earliest time I came to visit in my previous life was back in 2010.

At that time, the traffic in Beijing was already incredibly congested.

However, I suppose fishing is not allowed in the moat of the Forbidden City.

"Of course you can fish! Why can't you fish?"

The old man was wearing a white vest and shorts, and the fishing rod in his hand was quite remarkable—the best "three bamboo and two reed" hybrid rod of that era.

In comparison, the exquisite fishing rod provided by the system is still too eye-catching.

In this day and age, that's something you absolutely can't show your face to anyone...

In just a short while, quite a few people came to fish along the riverbank.

Most of them use a single bamboo pole, along with a sewing needle and hemp thread, to make their own simple fishing rods.

The floats are made of goose quill tubes, and the sinkers are made of toothpaste tubes...

Xu Pingan was speechless.

However, Xu Ping'an also has one of these simple homemade fishing rods in his farming space.

Fishing rods are really not suitable for taking up space in his backpack.

Not to mention his homemade simple fishing rod, he even stuffed the exquisite fishing gear set that the system had given him into his spatial storage.

After all, this thing isn't easy to break, so there's no need to enjoy the backpack's time-stopping function.

However, Xu Pingan couldn't very well take it out here...

This place is not only crowded, but the terrain is also particularly complicated!

There's always a pair of eyes watching you from somewhere...

Xu Pingan had no choice but to find another place to fish.

Let's head to Beihai Park!

In the end, Xu Ping'an did not go fishing at Beihai Park!

There's no other reason; it costs money to get in.

After studying the map for a long time, Xu Ping'an finally chose Shichahai...
