Chapter 1 Jumping into the River

Next Chapter

After running around the jungle for nearly a month, he ate some unknown wild fruits, and almost killed him several times. Fortunately, the fish and shrimp in the river were easy to catch, so he got out of the jungle alive.

I saw a few earthen houses and a green field around the earthen houses.

"I finally came out alive!" Xiao Nan sighed in his heart, but he didn't have the kind of surprise that escaped death.

Perhaps still in his dreams, he closed his eyes as he had done a few days before, then shook his head violently a few times, and then opened them hesitantly.

A strong chagrin rose in my heart again: "Damn, a few dilapidated mud houses are still there. ”

Xiao Nan looked down at the already tattered T-shirt and trousers on his body, as well as a pair of plastic slippers tied to his feet by thin rattan.

"Two worlds, I didn't dream of another world in one world. ”

In addition to looking for food in the past few days, he has been constantly deducing and judging whether his situation is real countless times. At this point, his mind was in a trance, but he had come to this conclusion with certainty.

Xiao Nan walked towards the earthen house, got closer, and saw the clothes drying on the rope between the two trees outside the house, and he was stunned.

"What's going on? This is the costume of the men's costume?"

With his stomach gurgling, Xiao Nan reached out and twisted a corn cob from the high corn stalk beside him.

Very tender and a little sweet.

Xiao Nan finished gnawing one by two, broke another one, peeled off the leaves, and was about to bury his head.

A little girl of six or seven years old, holding a piece of missing dough in her hand, stood on the top of the courtyard half a person tall as Xiao Nan, looking at him curiously.

Xiao Nan stopped to nibble on the corn, opened his mouth, and stared at her strange outfit more curiously than the little girl.

Messy hair, gray-blue clothes with a placket tucked at the waist, and baggy pants that are also gray-blue.

The little girl was barefoot, and her dirty face contrasted sharply with her bright eyes.

She suddenly stretched out her hand to Xiao Nan, and it was the hand holding the bread.

Xiao Nan was stunned, looking at the little girl's eyes, he was in a trance, but finally took the cake that had been bitten into a gap.

"Catch the thief, her father, come out and catch the thief!" a loud voice sounded.

When Xiao Nan heard the prestige, a strangely dressed woman with a kitchen knife in her hand actually rushed towards him, and just a few steps away, the kitchen knife in the woman's hand was raised high.

Xiao Nan was shocked and ran away.

"Pop", a stone swept over his head and smashed into the road, followed by the roar of a man.

Xiao Nan sped up, one shoe ran off, and then another, he never stopped, until he could no longer hear the roar behind him, he stopped out of breath.

Fortunately, the dough is still there, and there is a whole corn cob with more than ~ juice.

It's delicious, Xiao Nan tasted it slowly, this is the food. After eating the bread and corn on the cob, he felt very satisfied, and his mind began to brighten, and then he became anxious and distressed about the unknown future.

He laughed bitterly, "What is this?" He wanted to roar aggrievedly, but he only took a few deep breaths, and then slowly walked along the road.

The sun was setting, the sky was dark, and his bare feet were stung by the pebbles on the ground from time to time, and he was too lazy to grin in pain.

Seeing a few earthen houses in the distance along the way, he no longer cared about his strange encounters, he began to worry about the situation in front of him, and wondered how to spend the night.

Out of the forest, the past few days have seen a lot of improvement. I met people and ate the dough given by a little girl.

"Maybe it's dark to touch your clothes and get some food, and then find a corner to sleep into. ”

These plans were fulfilled in the next few hours, and he took a set of clothes that others had dried outside the house, as well as a pair of half-new straw sandals that fit well.

On the windowsill of another house, he grabbed a number of dried sweet potatoes and carried them in a tattered T-shirt.

When it was dark, he was lucky enough to find a shack full of hay, and lay on it, giving him a good feeling like the high-end hotel he had stayed in a few days earlier.

I need a good night's sleep, and the soft grass exudes a faint aroma.

The next day, Xiao Nan in his sleep seemed to hear the rooster crowing, and a ray of sunlight shone on his face through the gap, he turned over, and felt something strange in his mouth, as if he was holding something, and he felt it intently.

"Dried sweet potatoes," he cried out in frustration, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the haystack beneath him, and then saw that he was wearing patched trousers and a pair of straw sandals at his feet.

"Even more difficult to accept than a nightmare is the reality of a nightmare. He clutched his hair in agony and sighed.

Eating dried sweet potatoes, he continued to follow the road, and before leaving the shack where he was staying, he heard the sound of voices coming from several earthen huts not far away.

The warm sunshine and fresh air of the morning gave him a sense of peace, which he rarely enjoyed, and he used to wake up until near noon.

As the road widened, he saw some other pedestrians, dressed like him——— with patched grey cloth trousers and straw sandals.

He tucked what little dried sweet potatoes had left into his cardigan, and on the belt of his trousers was the watch he had untied from his wrist in the morning.

From time to time, some men walked from the small branch roads on both sides of the road, some old and some young, Xiao Nan calmed down and estimated something that might happen.

"Little brother, you look very raw, you are ...... ,”

"Oh, big brother, I'm from afar, relatives. Where are you going?" Xiao Nan looked at the middle-aged man who greeted him, and asked without waiting for him to finish speaking.

"Of course you went to mine, you see these people are all going to the spirit stone mine to mine, what about you?

"I also heard that mining can be done over there, so I went to see if my relatives belong to the Wu family over there. Xiao Nan replied randomly.

"Wu family, which Wu family ....... ”

"By the way, big brother, can the outsiders I just come to the mine with you to mine?" Xiao Nan nodded and smiled at the other men who were approaching them.

The middle-aged man also greeted them, and forgot the question he wanted to ask before.

"Of course you can, anyone can go, but you just came, the work of mining is very hard, and ordinary people can't bear it, look at the little brother, you don't look like people who have done heavy work....... ”

"No problem, I'm very strong. Xiao Nan's words are true.

"Hehe, that's good. When you arrive, line up to get your tools. The middle-aged man and other pedestrians hurried forward.

Xiao Nan followed closely behind, only to see an intersection with two tables. One person sat behind each table, three people standing, dressed in dark blue clothes, dressed quite neatly.

On the right side of the road there is a wooden platform, on which a simple pavilion is built, and in the pavilion sits a man in brocade clothes, holding a folding fan. There were several people standing behind him, all of them in long robes, and all of them showed a smug face.

The miners line up in two rows, register at their desks, and then pick up a small wooden plaque from a large box. Then he walked into a large warehouse dozens of meters ahead, and each miner took out a miner's hoe from the warehouse, and walked towards the majestic but devastated mine in front of him one after another.

A large yellow river rolled down the hill less than five meters from the left of the crowd in line, breaking the waves.

Xiao Nan looked left and right, carefully observing the surrounding environment and crowd, his mind was heavy, but his mind was quite calm.

"Yo, childe, look, this kid looks really a rare Peugeot, why is there such a handsome offspring in this group of dirt buns. ”

Xiao Nan was getting closer and closer to the registration office, and it felt strange to hear this.

"Hey, boy, come here, call you, it's really your blessing, come up, our son-in-law wants to see you." ”

Xiao Nan looked at the wooden platform, and saw that the people above were smiling so weirdly at him, he looked around in amazement.

"That's what I called you. A man pointed at Xiao Nandao.

Xiao Nan was suddenly terrified, staring at the few people on the wooden platform, his brows furrowed, his eyes contracted, he slowly moved to the side, leaving the long line of miners.

"Come on, come on, with our son covering you, then you can use this coolie, what awaits you in the future is brocade clothes and jade food......"

Xiao Nan no longer hesitated, and under the gaze of everyone, he turned his head and ran.

But as soon as he ran a few steps, he felt his feet tighten, and with a "snap", he fell straight down to the side of the road, and when he looked down, he found that his feet had been entwined by a beam of white light.

"Haha, I want to run, it's interesting. The boy who was sitting on the chair suddenly got up and flew down in front of Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan was extremely frightened, and hurriedly rolled on the spot, and as soon as his eyes flowered, he felt like he was falling down.

With a "plop" sound, his body was suddenly cold, and Xiao Nan knew that he had rolled into the river.

As soon as he entered the river, he heard a dull loud noise, and then an incomparably huge force pushed him towards the bottom of the river and in front of him, and his mind was in a trance, and he lost consciousness.

And on the bank where Xiao Nan fell into the water, the boy in brocade withdrew his hands, looked at the rushing river, and let out a long sigh of annoyance.
