Chapter 19 Arrival in Heze
'Goo-goo'!
With most of the bottle under water, Guan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, tightened the cap of the bottle filled with water, and carefully put it into his backpack. Looking up at the endless canopy of trees, only a little light could be seen through the cracks.
He sighed in his heart, and at this time, more than half an hour had passed since he got rid of the giant mantis.
I don't know what time it is, the sun in the sky can't be seen in this giant tree forest.
The high-imitation Patek Philippe in his hand was torn and broken as early as the last time he killed the dire wolf, and he didn't dare to bring the phone for fear of damage. After all, there are still exercises in it, and he is still looking forward to when he can connect to the Internet and contact the outside world.
I knew that I should have brought my mobile phone with me, at least I could check the time, and I could also rely on the compass software to check the direction.
Unlike at this time, he could only approximate the time, which should have passed noon.
A morning has passed, and he still hasn't even found Heze's shadow.
I couldn't help but feel bored in my heart, the village was only about a kilometer away from Heze, even if so many giant trees suddenly appeared in the middle, even if the direction was wrong, it would not take so long to arrive. Besides, even if you go the wrong way completely, there are other villages nearby, and if you stumble into it, you will have to run into a village!
Unless, the nearby villages, are destroyed by these giant trees, but then there should be a lot of building debris.
Or, after the change of the rules of the world, the area of the earth has become larger?
Wiping the hot sweat on his head, he couldn't think of these things clearly, and his crankiness couldn't solve the problem at hand. It's better to hurry up and continue to look for it, otherwise when the sun sets, the sight is not good, and the fierce beasts will appear more frequently, and it will be dangerous at that time.
"Keep going south, and I won't believe it. ”
Gritted his teeth, he said a word, carried his backpack, and went on the road again with the Daguan knife in his hand.
To the south, at this time, there was a huge mass of bushes, which were full of hard thorns half a centimeter long.
This thorn bush is extremely large, and he can't see the end at a glance, he has been circling it just now, and it seems that if he is circling it, he doesn't know how long it will take.
Without thinking about it, he directly took out the clothes in the backpack, covered his head and hands, and carefully got in.
'Shhh
It's old and heart-wrenching.
As soon as he got in, Guan Xi was stabbed and gasped. The thorns on the torso of this bush were extremely sharp, and his tattered thick clothes could not stop it at all.
sighed, there was nothing good to do, but to hold back.
After about half an hour, this pain finally paid off.
It's no wonder that he hasn't found Heze, it turns out that Heze is behind this bush. At this time, he was covered in countless blood marks, and finally saw an extremely familiar building.
The old temple of Heze Village.
I was almost in tears of joy, and when I saw the Land Temple, it meant that I had found Heze Village.
Hurriedly leaning over, he found that this land temple had collapsed in half at this time.
Just now he was in the direction of the thorn bush, and he couldn't see that the wall facing the south of the land temple, and the gate in front of it, had completely collapsed.
If you look closely, you can see that it was destroyed by some huge creature.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
Fortunately, I didn't encounter such a powerful creature in my village, otherwise it would be dangerous to stay at home.
Now that you have found Heze Village, it will be easy to do next.
The most urgent task is to go into the village to see the situation, and then go to Dr. Chen, and lobby for some manpower, so that he can leave for the village tomorrow, and then the old man's leg will be saved.
Otherwise, the time will be too long, and the family will be worried, and he will not worry about the old man and them.
According to the impression in his mind, the first one in Heze should be the sunspot family mentioned by his mother, and Guan Xi directly looked for it.
Along the way, he discovers a strange thing. After the energy burst in Guancun, countless giant trees appeared on the periphery, but in addition to the old sycamores, there were only some ordinary plants and trees in the village.
But here in Heze, it is different from their village.
At the entrance of the village, giant trees also emerged at this time, although it was not like the giant tree forest, which was endless, but it also made the whole village feel gloomy.
After all, this giant tree, the canopy alone can cover hundreds of directions of light, and under the shadow, it is easier to attract fierce beasts to the village.
But in this situation, he didn't worry too much, after all, he didn't live here, as long as there was no problem with Guancun.
After carefully walking through a slope and turning a corner, I finally saw the first family in Heze on the slope.
Heze is one of the big villages in Graystone Town, which is more than ten times larger than the scale of only a few dozen households in Guancun, with hundreds of households and thousands of people. The entire Heze Village covers an area of thousands of acres, nearly one million square meters of land, which is more than ten times larger than the pitiful 100 acres of land in Guancun.
The terrain of Heze and Guancun is also different.
Heze Village was built on an original ridge, and if the village is carefully traced, it can even be traced back to the era before the Ming Dynasty.
Because the ridge where Heze is located, it is like a long dragon, according to the county records, it was called Qianlong Village at the earliest. However, later in the Qing Dynasty, the word 'dragon' was afraid of causing disaster, so it was renamed Heze.
Most of the people who fled here at that time lived in the newly built villages nearby, and few of them settled directly in Heze.
The families in the village, because of the terrain, are all connected by one household, and it is rare for many families to gather together, so the whole village spans several kilometers, and it is difficult for people at both ends of the village to have contacts. So Heze actually has the distinction of front and back, of course, this is the name of the people in the village.
Qianze is closer to the town of Graystone, and Houze is the farthest away from Graystone, but it is closer to the town of Hetan next door.
And in the middle of Heze Village, it is just opposite Guan Xi's village, and the entrance of the village connected on both sides is also very close to Guan Xi's house, and he often came to play when he was a child.
......
cautiously entered the village, looking around, the village is also a giant tree growing scattered, fortunately, there are not many of them, and there are no giant trees that directly break the house, so that the people in the village still have a place to hide.
According to his impression, Guan Xi walked towards a two-story building.
That's Kuroko's house.
Kuroko is a native who has lived here since the time of his ancestral home.
The first thing Guan Xi thought of when he came over was to see if he could find him and learn about Heze's current situation.
After all, Kuroko is a bold person, and he is willing to help enthusiastically with everything, whether it is the people in their village or the people near the next village, they are very good at eating, and they naturally know a lot about the situation.
Cautiously passing through a few giant trees, after a few steps, Guan Xi came to the downstairs of Heizi's house smoothly.
Quickly climbed over the courtyard wall of Kuroko's house, and took a general look, there should have been no attack by fierce beasts here, and there should be nothing wrong with their house.
stepped forward cautiously, Guan Xi called the door in a low voice: "Uncle Heizi, are you at home, I am the son of Guan Cun's second family, Guan Xi." ”
It was a long time before a smaller inquiry came from inside.
"Who?"
"It's me, the son of Guan Cun Guan's second son. ”
"Oh, you're Xiaoguan, Guan Xi, right. ”
"Yes, Uncle Heizi, I came to your house to play during the Chinese New Year the year before last! ”
Guan Xi suppressed the excitement in his heart and whispered.
After the energy exploded, in addition to his family, he met someone he knew before for the first time.
'Squeak'!
There was a sound of opening the door, and the door in front of him opened gently, and there was a middle-aged man with a height of 1.83 meters, holding a firewood knife, and being as strong as an ox.
This person is the well-known Heze sunspot nearby.
However, through qi and blood induction, Kuroko's current strength should not be strong.
Kuroko still has an impression of Guan Xi, after all, the two families are not far away, and he often came to play when he was a child.
Seeing that this familiar appearance was indeed Guan Xi, Heizi hurriedly pulled him and quickly closed the door.
Because Heizi has made many friends near and far, he will also do some agricultural and sideline products business every year, so the conditions at home are not bad, at least his family's big house is much brighter than Guan Xi's house.
Carefully moved some furniture behind the door, and then Kuroko pulled Guan Xi upstairs.
At this time, Kuroko's family was waiting above, in addition to Kuroko's wife Xiufang, there was also his brother's family and husband and wife.
I think it was when the energy exploded, so I called over.
Seeing that it was an acquaintance and nothing happened, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and let down their guard.
Pulling Guan Xi to find a place to sit down, Kuroko immediately couldn't help but ask.
"Xiao Guan! I heard that you are not in the magic capital, why did you come back suddenly? Why are you in our village? What about your father?"
The cannon-like inquiry made Guan Xi stunned. Uncle Kuroko is still the same acute as before.
Fortunately, at this time, Heizi's wife, Xiufang, brought a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Come on, Xiaoguan, drink some water first!
Kuroko couldn't help but be stunned, and let out a dry laugh in embarrassment. "Isn't it too anxious to pay attention. ”
After thanking Aunt Xiufang, she took the water and drank it dry, and Guan Xi spit out a mouthful of turbidity.
Speaking of which, after entering the thorn bushes, I have not rested.
Looking at Guan Xi, who was in tatters and seemed to be extremely tired, Aunt Xiufang couldn't help but sigh and said gently: "Xiao Guan! Is there something wrong with your family? No, just hide in my house for a few days!"
Guan Xi was stunned for a moment, it seemed that he was misunderstood by Aunt Xiufang in this dress.
However, he felt warm in his heart, this is the simple kindness of the Chinese people.
"Auntie, you misunderstood, my parents, and my grandfather are all fine, and they are in our village! ”
Kuroko had a look of surprise on his face, and couldn't help but say, "Didn't you stay in our village all the time?
Guan Xi nodded.
Heizi's face immediately showed a look of admiration, and then he said: "Second brother, it's okay if they're fine, after the energy bursts, there are giant trees everywhere outside the village, and your village can't be seen, and there are even fierce beasts outside, I haven't dared to go out?
He was also anxious to stay at home these days, and he didn't dare to go out. At this time, as soon as he heard Guan Xi say that he was fine at home, he had no scruples, so he hurriedly asked.
Aunt Xiufang and the others also listened, obviously curious about the situation outside.
