Chapter 140: A Strange Downtown
It's very strange, obviously submerged in water, Xu Chen didn't feel the slightest suffocation, not even the slightest water pressure.
Xu Chen felt as if he had become a fish. That's right, it's just a fish, as if it was born to live in the water, and there is no sense of disobedience.
I tried to kick my legs, but I jumped out with a "whoosh", and I was really like a fish.
"Haha!"
With a very novel feeling, Xu Chen couldn't help but play.
After the flood collapsed the giant wall, it quickly submerged the entire space, and the collapse continued, and the curved dome continued to shatter into large and small stones and fall.
"Not good!"
Happy and sad, having fun Xu Chen was hit by a falling boulder, and the buoyancy of the water was relieved, although the boulder did not kill Xu Chen on the spot, he still knocked him unconscious.
Before falling unconscious, Xu Chen subconsciously hugged Yang Ziyun tightly...... A pair of thighs!
Don't ask why it's a thigh, a person is on the back, what else can it be if it's not a thigh?
"Pure! must be pure, we are pure and good boys!"
In a daze, Xu Chen lost consciousness again......
After the water filled the entire space, it began to flow backwards, and Xu Chen also followed the flow of water from the collapsed giant wall to the great river outside.
I don't know how long it took, Xu Chen woke up again.
The morning light was faint, not dazzling, with a hint of gentleness.
The sky is blue and blue.
The ten-zhang wide river surface is rippling with blue waves, and the willows on both sides of the bank are reflected.
The breeze blows through the willow tops, the sunlight passes through the branches, and the light and shadow are dappled on the river beach, and the meadows by the river are sometimes mixed with some unknown wild flowers, red, yellow, white and green, full of wild interest.
A yellow-dyed willow fell from the branch, melodious, and fell on Xu Chen's chest. A few naughty grasshoppers jumped on Xu Chen's body, weaving in and out of the tattered clothes, as if playing hide and seek.
Autumn is already strong, but there are still a few cicadas chirping, which disturbs Xu Chen's dream.
"It's quiet! It's peaceful!"
For the first time, Xu Chen was touched by the external environment, and he wanted to sleep like this, since he traveled to this strange era, he couldn't stop for a moment, his opponents changed one after another, and the danger became more and more great.
"I really want to rest for a while!" Xu Chen's eyelids were about to close again......
"Baby, get up when you wake up, don't collapse on the ground and pretend to be dead!" A loud shout reached Xu Chen's ears.
"Oops! What about people?" Xu Chen's hands clenched subconsciously, but he only grabbed a handful of grass.
Hurriedly got up, looked left and right, there was a wharf not far from the river beach, and there was a big boat moored on the river, and dozens of strong men were moving bags of goods from the boat.
"Don't look for it, that girl isn't here!" the loud voice just now sounded again.
"What?" Xu Chen was startled, then he raised his head and followed the sound.
But under a willow tree far away, an old man who looked to be in his sixties was lying on a chair that looked like a rocking chair, swaying gracefully. Next to the rocking chair is a small table with some pastries and tea on it.
"That girl, I asked Chen Dong to send it to the hospital!"
The old man's eyes were still squinting, leisurely and comfortable.
"Dare to ask where the old man's medical hall is?" Xu Chen straightened his clothes and stepped forward to salute respectfully.
Although he was in tatters, he still couldn't hide the warm temperament on Xu Chen's body.
The old man opened his eyes, glanced at Xu Chen in some surprise, nodded slightly, and closed his eyes again.
"Hungry, come and get something to eat!"
"Huh?" Facing the old man's invitation, Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded happily the next moment.
If the other party wants to be unfavorable to himself, he will not use this troublesome Huairou method, even if it is Huairou, then at least there will be no problem with the food in front of him.
These considerations and thoughts almost became Xu Chen's instinct, and they went through Xu Chen's mind in just a moment.
It just so happened that Xu Chen hadn't eaten for nearly a day. After gobbling it up, Xu Chen was a little embarrassed to carry a few pastries in his arms, his body was soaked in the water, and his clothes were not dirty.
After seeing Xu Chen's small movements, the wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes also relaxed a lot.
"Little third son!" After Xu Chen had eaten and drunk enough, the old man called out loudly.
"Yun Ye!" On the dock not far away, a young man who looked like Xu Chen was the same age put down the goods on his back and trotted all the way over.
"Take this little brother to Dr. An's medical center!" the old man said leisurely with his eyes closed.
"Okay!" the boy nodded.
After Xu Chen saluted the old man again, he followed the young man away.
Just one street from the river, the quiet and laid-back environment disappears, replaced by the sound of people.
On both sides of the street, the three or four-storey small buildings are next to each other, the shops facing the street, the doors are hung with all kinds of banners, colorful flags, and the plaques on the gate are not as monotonous as the outside world, but the styles are complicated, each with its own characteristics, so that people can see the business of this shop at a glance.
"Advertisement?" Looking at these familiar things, Xu Chen was a little stunned, things that could not be seen in the street markets of the Tang Dynasty in the outside world could be seen everywhere here.
The street is full of people, shoulder to shoulder, but on both sides of the road there are all kinds of small stalls, some selling melons and fruits, some selling calligraphy and paintings, and some selling silk and satin cloth. There is also a girl carrying a bamboo basket and wearing a green skirt along the street, the girl's appearance can only be regarded as delicate, but her voice is exceptionally crisp and moving.
"It's ...... "Xu Chen, who is in the Department of History, naturally knows that such a sales method was popular on the streets of the Song Dynasty.
Not only the girl, but also the young merchant picked a flat shoulder and walked the streets and alleys, although he only sold some needles and threads, the trumpet shouted in his mouth was also unusually smooth rhyme.
"This ...... Could it be that I wore it to the Song Dynasty again?"
Xu Chen's eyes widened, staring blankly at the bustling crowd on the street, speechless for a while.
"This brother, the medical hall is here!" The young man who led the way looked at Xu Chen's appearance, not surprised, but smiled kindly.
Xu Chen saw something else through the other party's eyes. I looked down at the tattered coat on my body, and I was relieved.
"It seems that he thinks of me as a country boy who has entered the city for the first time! ”
Xu Chen didn't care about the young man's opinion, not to mention that the young man's eyes didn't show a trace of disdain and arrogance.
"Dare to ask this big brother ......" Xu Chen clenched his fists and tried to talk.
"What big brother is not big brother, my surname is Shi, my name is Shi San, you can call me 'third son'! I am only sixteen this year, maybe you are older than me!" Shi San said with a smile.
Xu Chen nodded and called, "Brother Sanzi, this street is really lively!"
Xu Chen is sincere emotion, in addition to the streets in his previous life, Xu Chen has never seen such a lively street, there is no Yuzhang City, there is no Shengzhou City, I heard that Chang'an has a population of hundreds of thousands, I don't know if there is such a scene of sweating like rain.
If you go to the Mahang Street and take a look, you will know what it means to be lively! That is the most prosperous place in this Biancheng. ”
Shi San's words carried the inevitable pride, the pride of the people in the city in front of the poor relatives in the countryside.
"Mahang Street?Biancheng?Did I really wear it to the Northern Song Dynasty Tokyo?" Hearing these words that were not unfamiliar, Xu Chen was taken aback!
Just after that period of time, Xu Chen always thought that he could leave, but now that he has left so many entanglements in this era, how can he say that he can give up?
In a hazy moment, following the footsteps of the young man, Xu Chen came to a medical hall.
The very common name of "An's Medical Center" made Xu Chen, who had just adapted to the various advertisements, a little stunned.
Before he entered the door, a rough voice came out: "Old man An, don't you always boast that there is no disease in the world that you can't cure? What's the matter? This time you're going to smash the signboard, right?"
Xu Chen raised his eyes and saw that a small medical hall was full of people at the moment.
It is the nature of Chinese people to watch the excitement, and the people in this area are barely considered to have grown up on the land of China, and it is not surprising that Xu Chen has the nature of onlookers.
It's just that although these people are also pointing, none of them sneered at the white-haired doctor in the middle, but they all looked at Yang Ziyun on the couch with concern, that is, the strong man who shouted loudly, and his face was also full of concern, and even Xu Chen didn't see the slightest fear of trouble on his face.
Seeing Shi San walk up to the strong man and point at Xu Chen, Xu Chen knew that this person must be Chen Dong in the old man's mouth.
Yang Ziyun was sent by him, and the two of them were probably rescued by these people, even so, now Yang Ziyun is still not awake, Chen Dong has no patience on his face, and his concern is also from the heart.
This made Xu Chen a little moved by this person's ancient way.
"Baby, are you here, your daughter-in-law is fine, but she hasn't woken up yet, with this old man here, you can rest assured!"
Chen Dong was embarrassed.
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly muttered: "This ...... She...... She's not my daughter-in-law yet......"
I can't tell why I want to add the word "also", maybe men are all so virtuous.
"Hahahaha!" Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, and self-righteous understood: "I understand! I understand! You little couple must have eloped!"
"Look at the appearance of this girl is also very handsome, although the clothes on your kid's body are tattered, but they are also good materials, is it that the family does not agree with you to be together, so you sneaked out?
"Hahahaha, good boy!
“……”
Xu Chen's black line, but let him analyze it like this, Xu Chen didn't have to look for an explanation, so he lowered his head, with a hint of shyness, and didn't say a word, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
"Haha, let's see! Sure enough, let me Lao Chen say it!" Chen Dong looked left and right and laughed.
"Shut up Lao Tzu!" On the side of the couch, the old doctor who was diagnosing Yang Ziyun turned around angrily and scolded.
"What's the noise, get out of the noise!"
The old doctor has been diagnosing Yang Ziyun for a while, but no matter what means he uses, Yang Ziyun is still unconscious.
After a long time, the old doctor was naturally anxious.
