Chapter 1: The First Arrival in the Otherworld
Three months ago, 27-year-old Su Qing was hot-headed and quit his job, which was not bad in everyone's eyes. From the south, come to the city of S, which has a pleasant scenery.
The people here are simple, good quality and low price, Su Qing rented a room in the small courtyard of the farmhouse on the outskirts of the city, the rent is less than 100 yuan a month, and you can also buy cheap and natural farmhouse vegetables in the nearby market.
The only annoying thing is that it is not easy to find a job, and the salary is scary, so Su Qing simply went out for a vacation, anyway, she will not lack this money for a while.
Three months have passed, and I haven't found a suitable job, and my mood is a little irritated, just at this time, the man who has been in an ambiguous relationship before got married, and I was really depressed beyond words.
At the beginning of May, the spring was bright, Su Qing decided to go out for a walk, and made an appointment with a few travelers on the Internet to go on a spring outing to the newly developed Peach Blossom Mountain near S City.
When you come to Peach Blossom Mountain, the peach blossoms all over the mountain bloom on the branches, wandering in the sea of pink flowers, the spring breeze is slightly blowing, and the fragrance of flowers is coming, making people feel like falling into a fairyland, and the whole body is light.
Unconsciously, Su Qing walked to the depths of the peach forest, and when she walked out of the peach blossom forest, she found that she had come to a deserted mountain range alone!
Su Qing exhaled, sat down, and muttered to himself; 'Why can't you find anyone?' I went to pull out my phone and it turned out to be empty! I searched all over my body and couldn't find it.
Originally, I was with five travelers, but somehow I got separated, and after looking for a long time, not only did I not find anyone, but I also lost my mobile phone, and I was tired and hot and sat down to rest.
Suddenly found that there was a small Taoist temple in the depths of the bushes in front of him, Su Qing was half tired at this time, and the water had been drunk, so he wanted to go in and rest, so he walked over.
This small Taoist temple is only the size of a house, dilapidated, and when he reached out and pushed the rotten wooden door, ......the door panel cracked open, and hung on the door frame in a leisurely manner, so frightened that Su Qing hurriedly flashed in.
'Pong! "That half of the door fell," hiss, almost smashed,' Su Qing patted the dust on his body and looked at this small view.
Probably the dust has been sealed for a long time, a strong musty smell fills the nose, the furnishings in the view are very simple, there is a life-size statue facing the door, the dust is too thick, you can't see the facial features, no beard, but look at the hairstyle should be a man!
The hairstyle, which is the kind seen on TV, is common for men in ancient costumes, with the hair tied at the top and fixed with a wooden hairpin.
How does it feel that something is wrong? Su Qing stared at the statue, his gaze stopped on the top of the statue's head; That's right, hairpin! How does this wooden hairpin look dusty?
It won't be a treasure, as soon as he thought of this, Su Qing's heart was boiling, maybe he was going to get rich! Climb up to the offering table in front of the statue with your hands and feet.
Reach out and grab the hairpin, just listen to 'click!' With a bang, the offering table under his feet collapsed, and it was dark in front of him, and the clay sculpture fell head-on!
Am I stoned to death, Su Qing rubbed his dizzy head and pinched himself, 'His......s' It hurts! 'It doesn't seem to be dead,' Su Qing thought to himself.
Where is this? Su Qing looked around and found that he was in a wilderness, and the scenery around him was also unfamiliar!
Could it be that someone robbed it? Su Qing immediately got up and touched his wallet, and with this move, his right foot was heartbroken, "It hurts!" He exhaled in pain, and his foot seemed to be broken, and he didn't dare to move.
Fortunately, the wallet is still there, nothing has been lost, where is this, Su Qing endured the pain and propped himself up, and moved towards the distant intersection.
After walking for a long time, when I was on the side of the road, I was tired and thirsty and couldn't hold on. He fell down with a thud.
'Girl, do you have a broken foot?' A gentle voice came, 'Yes, I ......' Su Qing looked up and saw a woman in her forties dressed in sackcloth.
'You're filming here?' Su Qing asked suspiciously, because the woman in front of her looked like a woman in the sixties, no matter how she dressed.
The woman was slightly stunned, "Drama, it turns out that my aunt is a drama?" No wonder you dress up like this, why did you come here? Su Qing was depressed for a while; I'm dressed normally, okay?
'I'm not a dramatist, I'm from another place, I'm lost, where is this?' Su Qing stood up with the woman's support and asked.
The woman hugged Su Qing and said, "This is Poplar Village in front of us, my house is not far from the entrance of the village, it is getting dark, so the girl will rest at my house for the night." ’
Su Qing listened to the gentle voice and felt that his heart was very stable, not like a bad person, so he said happily: "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ’
The woman was petite but had a lot of strength, and she didn't have any trouble supporting Su Qing, and soon arrived at the gate of a small courtyard at the entrance of the village.
The yard is not big, there are only three grass houses, an ear room, plus a semi-open-air kitchen, it is not dark at this time, Su Qing saw that most of the houses in the village are this kind of houses, only two or three houses are tiled houses, or mud walls!
Oh, Mom! Is this the small village that has not yet been liberated? It's older than the memories I had when I was a kid.
'Mother, are you back?' Who is this? A boy of five or six years old came running over and a girl in her teens came out of the kitchen.
The woman helped Su Qing into the house and just sat down, a man in his forties was carrying a hoe, followed by a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, coming back from outside.
According to the conversation, the family's surname is Guo, the man's name is Guo Zhi, only 30 years old, the woman's surname is Lan, 29, the eldest son Guo Yun is 14 years old, the daughter Guo Yu is 11 years old, and the youngest Guo Hu is 6 years old.
Sweat! Is it because of my clumsy eyes or is it because the ancients are mature? Su Qing's face turned red! I almost called my husband and wife uncle and aunt just now, but I'm actually about the same age as others!
After a while, Guo Yu put dinner on the table, probably because of the guests, he specially boiled a plate of eggs, a plate of green vegetables, a small bamboo nest, and a crockpot of millet soup. 'The food is simple, the girl makes do with it,' Guo Zhi rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed.
Sure enough, the dishes are all cooked with only salt, but fortunately they are pure natural materials, and they taste original.
After eating, Guo Yu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with his hands and feet, and after washing, everyone got together to chat, and under the guidance of Su Qing intentionally or unintentionally, from Guo Zhi and his wife, one thing was confirmed: This is really not the Celestial Empire, she has crossed!
Realizing this, Su Qing was excited, held back her temperament, and finally stayed up until she rested, and found that there was no mirror in the so-called bedroom at all!
She didn't sleep well all night, and woke up early in the morning, but Guo Yu had already gotten up, heard movement in her room, and knew that her legs and feet were inconvenient and thoughtfully brought her warm water to wash her face.
After breakfast, Guo Zhi and his wife took Guo Yun to work in the field, and Guo Yu and Xiaohu accompanied Su Qing at home.
Yesterday, I learned that Su Qing had no place to stay, Guo Zhi and his wife tried their best to keep her to live in Guo's house, and after getting along, Su Qing also felt that the Guo family was kind and kind, so he felt that he would live here for a few days to raise his feet and seek other things
It's easy to get rid of the curious baby Guo Hu, Xiaoyu also went outside to wash clothes, Su Qing took out the wooden hairpin and thought to himself, let's see what surprises you will give me!
Touched the wooden hairpin in his hand, gritted his teeth, took the tile and pointed it at his fingers, a drop of red blood dripped onto the wooden hairpin, Su Qing closed his eyes tightly and 'snapped', Su Qing opened his eyes happily:
The hairpin in his hand did not change, and the blood dripped down the hairpin to the ground.
How can this be, Futian Cave Earth? What about Lingquan Immortal Garden? Don't even have a storage space? Su Qing held his forehead with his hand and roared in his heart; There's no cheat, why should I be here?!
Since he decided to come here, there was no green light in his life, and Su Qing was very depressed for two days, but under the strong warmth of the Guo family, he quickly put his frustration behind, and his heart was just at ease.
After more than ten days, Su Qing's feet can walk on the ground, she has been bored in the room for so long, she wanted to go out for a walk, so she asked Guo Hu to take her to the village for a walk, not long after going out, she accidentally found that there is a private school in this village!
Su Qing felt a burst of joy in his heart, and said in his heart, he finally had the opportunity to figure out what kind of era this was!
'Aunt Su, are you literate? Huzi looked at Su Wen, who was standing outside the wall, listening to the sound of reading, and asked, "Uh-illiterate" Su Qing came back to his senses and said. 'Oh, Aunt Su, I can write!' Guo Hu looked at Su Qing with sparkling eyes.
'Really? It's so painful, what would you write? Su Qing grabbed Guo Hu's hand ecstatically, "I-I can only write two words" Guo Hu blushed and withdrew his hand.
"Then you write it and show it to me" Su Qing said eagerly, she learned that this is a place called leaving the country by talking with Guo Zhi and his wife these days, they only know that the county seat is called Yang County, and Yangshu Village belongs to Qinghe Town, and she doesn't know anything else, she wants to know more, she can only know it from the book.
Looking at the two words written by Guo Hu on the ground, they should be the words heaven, earth, and square, which are also horizontal and vertical square characters, but there are more strokes than simplified characters, like incomplete traditional characters.
Su Qing sighed, it seems that the characters here are related to Chinese characters, and it should not be difficult to learn.
In the next few days, Su Qingtian came to hang out outside the academy every day, and gradually talked to his master. I learned more about this place from his mouth, and I knew something that made her blood boil; There are really immortals in this world!
Wow! Is this a world of cultivation? Su Qing was so excited that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and the next day, with dark circles under his eyes, he went around looking for the old people in the village to ask about the stories of the immortals.
A few days later, she was even more sure that there really were cultivators in this world. She has admired Taoist culture since she was a child, and is fascinated by the ethereal fairy legends. If you can meet immortals when you come to this world, it will be in vain!
Twenty days later, Su Qing's feet were completely healed, and it was not good to stay in the Guo family all the time, so he thought about making some money, renting a house in the village, and settling down first.
She is penniless now, but there is no way to make money. So I decided to go to the back mountain to see if there were any herbs I knew.
Poplar Village is at the foot of the mountain, and after walking south for a quarter of an hour out of the village, you will come to the back mountain.
At this time, it is the end of spring, dandelion, purple flower, white grass, wheel grass, these herbs are everywhere, the blessing of work-study in primary school, she has known these medicinal materials since she was a child, well, and there are a lot of blood ginseng, but now is not the time to enter the medicine.
Seeing that so many medicinal herbs were growing here, Su Qing was very happy, and immediately ran back, asking Huzi to take a small shovel with Guo Yu and go with her to dig herbs.
'Aunt Su, can these be sold for money?' Guo Yu asked while digging a tree in the ground, "It should be possible" Su Qing was also a little undecided, "Whatever, if you can't sell it, keep it for your own use." Su Qing thought to herself.
After digging the medicine for three days in a row, Su Qing didn't let Su Yu go. She also didn't know if the drugs could be sold; Besides, Guo Zhi and his wife went to work in the fields with Guo Yun, Guo Yu had a lot of housework to do at home, and she could also help dry medicinal herbs at home.
Su Yu took Guo Zhi to dig up the medicine for a few more days, and accidentally found a large piece of banlan root! Thanks to SARS, the people of the land of Shenzhou basically know this miracle medicine!
Su Qing took Guo Hu to dig a lot of banlan roots, this one is not going to be sold, he keeps it to boil water to drink when he is on the fire, dispel the fire and calm the liver, increase resistance, it is said that people will die if they have a cold in this era!
God is also very cooperative, the sun is shining every day, so soon the first batch of medicine will be dried, Su Qing spent a long time, carefully put it away, for Su Qingtian with Huzi to tinker with herbs, Guo Zhi and his wife are very supportive, people in this era are still very respectful to doctors.
