On the morning of the third day, after finishing his get off work and having breakfast, Niu Bi took out a flashlight.
He decided to go in and try it for himself.
First, bolt the door shut. Then, fix the flashlight to the living room table, turn the button, and a white light door appears on the living room wall. There is still a big locust tree there, but the big yellow dog is not there.
Niu Bi took out a sturdy rope, tied one end to the security window and the other end to his waist, stared at the rectangular projection door for a long time, gritted his teeth and stepped inside.
The scene changed, and it seemed to be the backyard of a wealthy family.
The garden is about the size of a basketball court and is filled with various ornamental trees. It is surrounded by a wall that is taller than a person.
In the very center of the garden, there is a small pond about ten meters in diameter, with artificial hills and goldfish playing in it.
The water surface was covered with fallen leaves, the water was murky, and its depth was unknown.
Beside the wall, beneath a large locust tree with a trunk so thick it takes two people to encircle it, a portal taller than a person appeared, emitting a milky white light.
It was a flashlight projection door.
Seeing that no one was in the garden, Niu Bi turned around and stepped into the portal. In a flash, he found himself back in the living room.
"There shouldn't be any danger!"
Niu Bi tried it more than ten times, and finally untied the rope around his waist and stepped directly into the projection shuttle door.
Standing in the courtyard, Niu Bi vaguely heard voices outside the wall, so he quietly climbed up the wall along the big locust tree.
The street in front of me was not crowded with pedestrians.
Rickshaws, pedestrians dressed in long gowns or Zhongshan suits, street vendors, and even patrolling soldiers...
"This...this is from the MG era! I wonder which year it is?"
Niu Bi decided to first find out where and when he was in the MG era, and whether it was a parallel universe or another dimension.
Upon seeing his own clothes, he paused, returning to reality.
Three hours later, Niu Bi, dressed in a long gown and cloth shoes, dressed himself in the style of the Republic of China era, climbed over the wall, and walked along the street.
In the distance, a thin man pulled a rickshaw.
"Chow Yun-fat!?"
Niu Bi glanced at it and his eyes widened in surprise.
How did I end up seeing Chow Yun-fat here?
Niu Bi found it somewhat unbelievable; in reality, Chow Yun-fat was already 60 years old, while this Chow Yun-fat was only in his early 20s.
But the familiar face of the young man on the bus, the white scarf around his neck, and the way he crossed his legs made him look extremely dashing. Who else could it be but Chow Yun-fat?
As the rickshaw drove by, Niu Bi was certain he wasn't mistaken; it really was Chow Yun-fat!
"In this MG era world, I see a young Chow Yun-fat! How is this possible?"
To clear up his doubts, Niu Bi followed at a distance.
The rickshaw traveled along for seven or eight streets, making several turns before stopping in front of a nicely decorated theater. Chow Yun-fat adjusted his hat and entered the theater.
Niu Bi was about to go and take a look when he heard a burst of angry curses.
"Damn it, put down the videotape!"
"You're asking for it! How dare you steal from our theater!"
"......"
At the theater entrance, a tall, thin man wearing a black top hat ran wildly toward Niu Bi, followed by four or five young men in short jackets who shouted and cursed as they chased after him.
"Hey... buddy, hope you don't run into him..."
Seeing the man running towards him, Niu Bi was knocked off balance before he could finish his warning, and a large black pancake fell to his feet.
"You fucking run!"
I'll beat you to death!
"......"
A cacophony of curses erupted as the tall, thin man who had been running away earlier lay sprawled on the ground, being punched and kicked by the young man in the short jacket who had caught up with him.
Niu Bi subconsciously picked up the round cake from the ground, then froze. "Hmm, isn't this an incredibly outdated videotape?"
"Hello, friend."
A dashing young man wearing a white scarf stood in front of him. Niu Bi looked up and realized that it was the same young man who looked just like Chow Yun-fat!
"Hello, are these yours?" Niu Bi smiled and handed the videotape to the young man.
"Yes."
The young man took the videotape, shook hands with Niu Bi, and said, "Thanks to my friend for stopping this guy. If the film had been stolen, it would have delayed the screening. Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome. This person bumped into me."
"In any case, I still have to thank you. What's your name, friend?" the young man asked.
“My surname is Niu, and my given name is Bi.”
