Chapter 4: Turning the Tide Upside Down
I don't know how long it took, and a "bang-bang" sound woke him up.
After waking up, Meng Yun suddenly got up and looked around, and couldn't help but find that he was not dead, this was a wooden house, and there was a fire in the middle of the house, and a clay pot was hanging on the fire, and the pot had a strong smell of medicine.
After Meng Yun smelled the smell of medicine, he couldn't help but look down at the injury on his chest, the upper body of **, the right chest was wrapped with bandages, to be exact, it should be a strip of cloth, there were a few mottled blood stains on the cloth, which were clearly visible, the injury recovered well, at least it did not affect the ability to move, but the movement of the right arm should not be too large, otherwise the wound would still be involved.
The sound of smashing came from outside the house, and if nothing else, it must have been the owner of the wooden house, and this person was probably the one who saved him, and in any case, since he had woken up, he could not continue to pretend to be asleep.
Thinking of this, Meng Yun raised his feet and turned to the ground, put on a camouflage uniform and walked to the door, looked up and turned to the right, a short dwarf had his back to him, wearing a hat and dark robe, the other party was facing away from each other, and he couldn't see the specific appearance.
At this moment, it was dusk, the sun was about to touch the horizon, the light that was shining obliquely was gentle, but it still made him feel a little dazzling, the other party didn't seem to notice him approaching, his hands were still pounding, his eyes were slightly adjusted to the light, Meng Yun then spoke, "Hello, may I ask ...... here"
Before he could finish speaking, the dwarf suddenly turned around, and when he saw the specific appearance of the other party, Meng Yun's face was instantly difficult to see. In his eyes, a huge turtle head, two eyes are round and round, tilting his head and constantly looking at him, grinning and as if he is laughing, very weird.
This reminded him of the wolf-headed monster before, but then again, why are there so many demons and monsters in this place?
Meng Yun saw that the turtle was just looking at him, not taking the initiative to approach or stay away from dodging, his eyes were full of curiosity, and just when he was a little confused, he heard someone around him say mockingly, "Stinky boy, when I see your savior, should it be this virtue?"
When he heard the voice, Meng Yun subconsciously looked around, but didn't notice that there were other people around, and then his eyes stopped on the strange turtle, "Are you talking?"
"Nonsense, isn't it, there's a second pant around?" said the strange turtle as he stood up, supporting himself only on his hind legs, his forelimbs hanging down to his side like human hands.
"How can you speak my language?" Meng Yun said to it with a frown, it was unbelievable that a turtle could communicate with him freely.
"Uncle Divine Turtle has great powers and can communicate with all kinds of species, what's so strange about such a trivial matter?" the strange turtle said with a look of pride.
"Why did you save me?" Meng Yun asked after a little hesitation, and he didn't bother to ask if he didn't want to say it.
"Why did the stinky boy get so many questions? If it weren't for the wizard to ask Uncle Ben, the ghost wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you," the strange turtle said this, and began to be a little impatient.
Meng Yun felt a little dazed in his head, "Who is the Wizard Qi?"
"Huh, you don't even know that Old Man Qi, could it be that you are not from the Qingyang clan?" asked the strange turtle as he touched his chin.
"No, what the hell is this place?" Meng Yun shook his head and casually denied, he had never heard these words before.
"Where else can this be? Of course it's the Eastern Wilderness of the Northern Xuan Kingdom," the strange turtle rolled his eyes helplessly, "Where did you kid jump out?"
Meng Yun didn't listen to half a word of what the other party said later, and suddenly felt a little lack of oxygen in his brain, this should be the southwest border area of China, where did this bullshit Northern Xuanguo come from? Now his mind is a little chaotic, time and space are changing, and the universe is reversed, how is this possible?
Frankly speaking, although he couldn't accept this fact, whether it was the wolf-headed monster before or the strange turtle in front of him, everything seemed to remind him all the time that this was indeed not the original world, what went wrong?
If you think about it, everything should have been normal until he entered the cave, at that time he was chasing the fleeing enemy, but then after entering the cave, strange things seemed to start happening one after another, first the stone statue of the ancients, then the quaintly dressed villagers, then the wolf-headed monster, and finally the strange turtle in front of him, all of a sudden it seemed to have changed.
He didn't know what was going on in the process, but it seemed that all the changes started in the cave, and if he wanted to return to the original world, he would theoretically have to start with that cave, but where was that cave?
According to what the strange turtle said, the person who rescued him was a wizard surnamed Qi, and this person probably knew something, but in ancient Chinese mythology, "wizard" has always been synonymous with clergy, and what these people are best at is to fool people with things about gods and ghosts, and it will definitely take some effort to communicate when the time comes.
After straightening out his thoughts, Meng Yun decided that he had to do two things first, one was to retrieve the weapons and equipment, these weapons may have been taken away, the reason why he had this idea is because the person who saved him would definitely remove his bulletproof vest before treating his injuries, and in addition, out of consideration for his own safety, other equipment may also be unloaded by the other party.
The second is the black stone, it is the target of this mission, and the strange energy contained in it is amazing, Meng Yun has a faint feeling in his heart, this strange crossing event, I am afraid it is inseparable. Everything was still full of unknowns, and there was no way to explain the antecedents, so there was no way to speculate on the consequences, and he had to act as soon as possible anyway.
"Boom—"
After a while, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, Meng Yun looked up to the west, it was evening at this moment, the sunset was still red, it was not like a rainy weather, but the south was full of dark clouds, and it would soon drift away.
"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and bring the herbs in," the strange turtle shouted outside the wooden house.
"The morning glow doesn't go out and the sunset travels thousands of miles, as far as I know, it shouldn't rain tonight," Meng Yun grabbed the medicine trough with his left hand and walked into the wooden house, the strange turtle is certainly terrifying, and he should not have the intention of harming others, if there is, I am afraid that he will be killed long ago.
"Who is this to listen to?"
......
Night soon fell, and along with it was a pouring rain, thunder rolling outside the house, and a torrential rain of raspberries pouring down, and hula hula falling to the ground.
A man and a turtle sat around the fire, but neither side spoke, Meng Yun was speechless because he was thinking about things, and the strange turtle was speechless because he was speculating about what he was thinking.
After the two sides got along for a short time, Meng Yun determined at least two things, one was that the strange turtle didn't like humans very much, but it didn't hurt anyone, and the other was that this thing was very curious, and it was not ordinary.
"Ah, your kid's origin is quite mysterious," the strange turtle finally couldn't help but speak first.
"What?" Meng Yun turned his head to look at the strange turtle, he was thinking about things just now.
"I used to think that you were a member of the Qingyang clan who was left behind, but now it doesn't seem that simple," the strange turtle was curious about his identity.
Meng Yun didn't explain much to it, "How long have I been asleep?"
"Three days and two nights," said the strange turtle.
"Did anyone come to me while I was in a coma?" Meng Yun actually wanted to ask if any team members had come to him, but he didn't want to continue to dwell on the issue of the identity of the team members.
"Yes, Old Man Qi came yesterday and brought a bag of corn," the strange turtle said, gesturing to the north corner, "if you're hungry, eat that." ”
Meng Yun nodded when he heard this, it was not the person he imagined, but the person he was looking for, "Did this Wizard of Qi say when he will come over next time?"
"Not really, what are you looking for him?" asked the strange turtle rhetorically.
"I have something I want to ask him," Meng Yun said as he got up and walked to the rice bag in the corner, he hadn't eaten in a few days, he could now be said to be hungry.
"What's the matter? Can you tell me?" the strange turtle was very curious.
"You don't know," Meng Yun picked up the jar and poured some rice into it, and then walked to the door to catch some rainwater, and then put the jar back on the fire.
"How do you know I don't know if you don't tell me?" the strange turtle watched as he sat down again.
"Are there many talking animals like you here?" said Meng Yun deliberately changing the subject, he didn't want to talk to the other party about something that he didn't have a clue about.
"Animal, hey, you boy," said the strange turtle with disdain.
"Didn't that person really say when he would come over next time?" Meng Yun asked again.
"Really not, the northern barbarians have invaded the south on a large scale, and it is estimated that the old man Qi is busy and anxious, and he shouldn't be able to come for a while," the strange turtle didn't think much about it, and answered his questions.
"The northern barbarians, why did they invade south?" Meng Yun turned his head and raised his eyebrows and asked, how did it seem that no matter where they were, the war would never stop.
"Winter is coming soon, why don't the barbarians go south to grab grain for the winter?" said the strange turtle in a tone that was as it should be.
"What's wrong with this? If you don't stay in your own place honestly, what kind of mess is there," in Chinese history, the northern nomads often did this, and once they were idle, they would come to the Central Plains to "hang out."
"What does that mean, and your hometown is often plundered?" the strange turtle is very good at figuring out the implications.
"You're smart, but that's all in the past, and now no one dares to provoke us blatantly," Meng Yun patted his chest and said.
"Where the hell are you from?" the strange turtle asks when he gets the chance.
Meng Yun suddenly felt a little headache, this guy was too curious, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I fought a monster with a wolf's head and a human body before, do you know what it's all about?"
"You're such a cow, that's the god of the Northern Wolf Clan, can you survive it?" said the strange turtle to him angrily.
Meng Yun frowned and looked sideways at the strange turtle, "You think I'm lying?"
"Oh, go close the window, it's windy," the strange turtle hurriedly changed the subject when he saw that the situation was not good, and the wind carried the shower blowing the window with a rattle.
Meng Yun glanced at it helplessly, then got up and walked to close the window.
