Chapter 1: The Boy, the Crocodile, and the Goshawk (I)
Suojiang, named after the many chains that cross both sides of the river, is a daily zipline where livestock and people glide to the other side of the river on a zipline.
Behind the mountains on one side of the Suojiang River is the county seat close to the bustling city, and on the other side of the river is the mountain full of animals and plants, where it is the poorest mountain village in the country with a difficult living environment, a poor area where ancestors have been trapped in the mountains for generations.
In a calm river in the lower reaches of the Suojiang River, near the county seat, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy looked at the river with a sad face, and then jumped down.
Ten minutes later, the river water, which had long since calmed down, began to become turbid, and a dark shadow rose rapidly from the river.
After showing his head and taking a breath of fresh air, the boy began to swim towards the shore with all his might, and the stagnant water in his belly had been spit out as it rose, and the most important thing now was to get ashore!
The mud on the shore was a little slippery, and the boy's hands pressed on a relatively stable stone very accurately, and then his body turned to the shore with strength.
The difference between the riverbed and the bank is very obvious, and if you fall down, you will enter the water at a depth of three meters.
The boy sat on the shore and coughed up the water in his stomach with his head down.
"This is not my world......"
"In 1997, social software was everywhere, computers and mobile phones had become essential entertainment tools for people, housing prices remained high, entertainment novels were on fire, Japanese comics and Korean entertainment were on fire in China, and society was restless. The boy found the memory of this world from his original body, "There are no natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty in this world, the world line is not the same, the imperial capital is still Ningcheng, and the history after the Ming Dynasty is completely inconsistent with the original history." ”
Some are the same, some are different.
"I'm Tian Zhongqiu, a first-year student in a small town high school, because I was bullied by the school gangsters, my arm was broken during the fight, and I later received 300 yuan in compensation under the intervention of a classmate. It wasn't just himself who was hurt, the rest of the students didn't give a hundred yuan to the person who came forward, and the young man was hostile to the other party because he was not angry that the other party was going to take away the money he had earned so hard by just saying a few words, and after being beaten, he came to seek death. ”
"I'm Tian Zhongqiu now. Tian Zhongqiu accepted the name, the reality is just a garbage game for Tian Zhongqiu, anyway, it is enough garbage, Tian Zhongqiu doesn't mind such a miserable, such a tasteless start, "There is only one bedridden mother in the family, living in the world's poorest Canglan Mountain, and living in a cracked mud house with the only goat in the family. ”
"It's good to die. ”
Tian Zhongqiu stood up, and did not show any sympathy for the boy's death, let alone avenge the boy.
Take off the school uniform and wring it out, and there is only one piece of clothing that can be worn on the county street at home, and a shabby shirt inside the school uniform.
Tian Zhongqiu didn't care if the shabby clothes would reveal that he was an old Kyle (hillbilly), and he never cared about other people's opinions.
"I am the king of the world!"
Tian Zhongqiu walked on the mountain path and shouted silently at the silent mountain.
"I'm the all-round Superman!"
"I'm the king of the second dimension with countless two-dimensional girls!"
"I'm a Form 2 boy!"
According to the direction in his memory, Tian Zhongqiu walked for more than two hours, and when he was on the road, he was very bored and said very middle school words to the mountains and fields, but no one heard it, and there were not many people here.
"The copy I opened is higher than this mountain, deeper than this river, and the heroine I have attacked is more dazzling than this sun!"
When Tian Zhongqiu walked to dusk, he finally couldn't shout, this body was average, and he had not undergone effective exercise, so it seemed that he still needed to exercise himself in the future.
"It's really troublesome, most of my abilities in this world are gone, only a little knowledge is left, and this world only supports the knowledge in the Earth Truth Science in the Seven Disciplines, and many spells can't be used!"
As soon as he thought that he was going to live in this world for the rest of his life, Tian Zhongqiu was very helpless, this world is just from the memory of a teenager, it is a garbage game, when will I be able to return to my two-dimensional country?
It's useless to think about anything else, Tian Zhongqiu is going to go back and bring the young man's mother to the city first, and then send the other party to a nursing home, and then find a place to eat and wait for death.
Money is not a problem, Tian Zhongqiu is proficient in various skills and has the reputation of an all-round superman.
Tian Zhongqiu did not treat the boy's mother as his own mother, sorry, not indifferent, but unable to bring in.
Bringing the other party from the dilapidated and gloomy livestock shed to the nursing home in the city, and sending some money regularly in the future is what Tian Zhongqiu can do.
Before coming to the cableway, Tian Zhongqiu looked at the wide and surging Suojiang below, locking the Suojiang with people in the mountains opposite.
Looking for an inclined ropeway, Tian Zhongqiu rushed forward after tying himself up, and the pulley above took Tian Zhongqiu to the other side of the lower level along the chain, and when he slid through the center of the river, the river rushed up, Tian Zhongqiu could feel the rising water vapor on the river surface and the water droplets on his body, and there were often people here who were washed down from the chains by the river, and then there was no more.
Above Suoe is a large lake with a waterfall in the middle, but because of the slope and the surrounding rocky paths, no tourists will appreciate it.
Tian Chuqiu slid down in front of a pillar embedded in the ground, and after falling to the ground, he began to untie the rope on his body, and placed the rope on a platform with a high slope 100 meters away, which was the ropeway that slid from this side to that side.
Tian Zhongqiu's home is in a small village on the mountainside of the mountain, and there is a river behind the village, which is formed by the spring water flowing down the mountain, which converges with the Suojiang River in the downstream place, and then extends to the reservoir.
When he slowly walked outside the village, Tian Zhongqiu had an intuitive understanding of this village.
Mud-made walls, cracked dirt and wood are the main materials for construction, and on the undulating dirt roads, animal droppings and dry weeds are intertwined, and green weeds are intertwined with dry dung, forage and dirt.
The ruins of the building can be seen everywhere, and the swarthy faces and scrutinizing eyes of the children in the village also make Tian Zhongqiu feel that he does not have much to do with this village, at least the children are not familiar with him.
Tian Zhongqiu walked to his home according to his memory, did not report any expectations for the scene at home, sat here for a night, and left tomorrow.
When Tian Zhongqiu approached the home in his memory, he saw several old people chatting under the shed on the side, and one of the old people led by him sighed and said after seeing Tian Zhongqiu: "Mid-Autumn Festival, your mother jumped into the river and died!"
"Why do you want to jump into the river if you live well?" Tian Zhongqiu wanted to understand what was going on, these old people were the wives of old men in the village, so they wouldn't joke about this kind of thing.
The old man saw that Tian Zhongqiu didn't believe his words, and he didn't get angry, and explained: "Your mother's medicine has long been eaten, and when the wife in the village went to see her the day before yesterday, she found that she couldn't wake up no matter how she screamed, and finally waited for a while before she woke up, but in the afternoon she jumped down to the river, and when the little babies called people, no one could be found!"
"Has the body been found?" asked Tian Zhongqiu.
The old man and his wife sighed and said, "The laborers in the village have all gone to the city, where can they go to fish!"
"yes, I see. Tian Zhongqiu waved his hand and walked towards home.
Seeing Tian Zhongqiu leave like this, he didn't even cry, and the wife in the village took a sip, "It's really for nothing that I raised this bitch, and I won't even cry when my parents die!"
Tian Zhongqiu came to the earthen wall with only one wooden board as the door, kicked the door down, and stepped on the door panel and walked in.
The house was dark, and a stench of water, grass and dung swept in, but the smell of sheep was not so strong.
After adapting to the darkness, Tanakata saw the contents of the earthen house.
A mud-soaked bunk with only a black futon on it, and a rope tied to the side of the bed, and the goat that should have been tied to one end of the rope was gone.
A meter and a half from the bed is an earthen stove, and next to it is an iron bucket for paint.
Aside from corn stalks and hay, the only thing that could be considered decoration in the room was a recently glued certificate at the head of the bed.
Tian Zhongqiu found a foreign fire next to the earthen stove, skillfully lit a match, tore off the award certificate at the head of the bed and burned it together with the futon.
According to his memory, this certificate was forged by Tian Zhongqiu, who used the blank certificate of the stationery store to fool his mother, and used this red certificate of kindergarten to fool ten yuan for the Internet fee.
"I can't take care of you, but I can still find your body and let you be buried in peace. ”
The people in the mountains have been trapped by this river for a lifetime, and if they die and stay in the water, they will not be able to get out in the next life.
Regardless of whether this is superstition or not, Tian Zhongqiu has to fish the other party up, and the other party believes this, which is enough.
After a simple boil of the corn cobs left in the earthen house, Tian Zhongqiu ate a full meal, then sat down in the haystack to rest, and before dawn, the boy left the village.
