Volume 1 The Eagle Flies to the End of the Han Dynasty Chapter 8 Paradise in the Mountains
Nan Ying screamed and sat up from the couch, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his mind was still recalling the scene of the dragon falling down in blood in the nightmare, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, holding his head with his hands in pain, although he touched the wound on his head, he didn't feel pain.
Gao Er rushed into the room like a whirlwind and shouted: "I heard you poor sour ghost scream from afar, don't get up quickly!" You're the last person in the castle to get up! ”
Seeing Nan Ying's face distorted, he said strangely: "Is your head injury so serious?" ”
Nanying barely squeezed out a smile: "Thank you, Miss for your concern, I'm much better, and I'm about to get up and move my body!" ”
Gao Gao'er frowned and said, "Look at your thin body, change your clothes and come out, big brother is waiting for you!" "Let's go away.
Nanying sat on the couch for a while, still not fully accustomed to the fact that he had returned to ancient times, but everything was in front of him, how could he escape? However, the thought of the hope of using the time machine to save the dragon's life lifted his spirits and threw all the distractions out of his mind. After getting up, he stretched out his fist and kicked his legs, although his head was still aching, but he was exhausted, he stretched out his hand to push open the door, only to feel that the scorching sun was dazzling and could not see, and it took a long time to see clearly what was in front of him, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
I saw that the mountains in the distance are surrounded, the peaks and peaks are stacked, but the middle zone is a flat river, surrounded by the mountains into a huge flat land, a canyon is hidden in the southeast direction, the steep ridge extends outward, the valley mouth actually builds a stone wall and wooden building, and someone patrols back and forth with a blade in his hand. The farmland on the flat land is strange, the houses are scattered, the men and women weave, and the chickens and dogs smell each other. In the corner of the valley, several huge waterfalls hang upside down into a deep pool of blue waves, but see Bai Lian hanging in the air, splashing the fluttering water vapor like smoke and fog, and the sunlight refracts the faint glow, although it is far away, still faintly hear the sound of the water rushing down. There is a hill in the middle of the flat, and a castle made of stone and wood is built against the mountain, and I am on the top of the hill in the castle.
Nanying came to the side of the mountain, looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but admire: "What a paradise, it can really be called a mountain and a heavy water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!" ”
The applause came from behind him, Gao Shun and Nanying stood side by side, overlooking the mountains together, and said softly: "I first came here, the first time I came to this scene, and the feeling in my heart was also the same as Brother Nan!" It's just that he doesn't have Brother Nan's literary brilliance, making such a good sentence that is appropriately described! ”
Then he said strangely: "However, there are no peach blossoms here, why did the Nan brothers describe it as a peach source?" ”
Nanying Meng Province, Tao Yuanming is a person in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, at this time there are still nearly 200 years since he was born, and there will be no "Peach Blossom Spring" coming out, so he had to cough dryly: "This is just a general reference to the beautiful scenery of the younger brother!" ”
Gao Shun whispered "The mountains and rivers are doubtful, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village" several times, and exclaimed: "It is indeed a good sentence!" The South brothers are very popular, but they don't know why they ended up here? ”
Nanying had expected that Gao Shun would ask this question sooner or later, so he had already prepared the case in advance, pretended to be gloomy and bleak, and sighed heavily: "Don't hide it from the senior brother, although the younger brother is a Han Chinese, he moved to the Western Regions with his father to do business since he was a child. This time, I was transporting a large number of goods to China with my father to sell, but I met a thief halfway, and the goods were lost. My father was also killed, and my younger brother fled all the way here. Thinking of being separated from my father's yin and yang, I couldn't help but choke up.
Gao Shun saw that Nanying's eyes were getting red, and his feelings were sincere, and he sighed: "And today, the son is dim, the officials are corrupt, the court is tyrannical, and the foreign army has been used for many years, and the people have really reached the point of dire straits. What is even more unfortunate is that natural disasters and plagues are rampant, resulting in 'empty fields, empty courts, and empty warehouses'. A large number of peasants went into exile and starved all over the wilderness, and many people could not survive and had to take risks, so that thieves swarmed, and many cult churches took the opportunity to demagogue people and increase their strength. Alas, please mourn! ”
Nanying didn't expect to talk nonsense casually, but it caused Gao Shun to sigh about the general trend of the world, and he couldn't help but be silent. In his opinion, the first thing at present should be to go to Luoyang as soon as possible, and after finding the time machine, he will try to return to 2022 and change the unfortunate fate of the dragon, but Gao Shun's words made him suddenly realize that the turmoil in the world has begun to appear, and it will soon be in chaos due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it is not easy for ordinary people to survive.
Since the safe return to the Eastern Han Dynasty has proved the role of the time machine, and there is a dragon atlas in hand, then the matter is already half the success, and now we must not be in a hurry, we must first survive safely in the troubled times, and we can be invincible. At the same time, from the analysis of the dragon's last words, even if the time machine has descended on the earth now, I am afraid that it will be tightly sealed by the mountain rocks, and it will be absolutely impossible for him to complete the huge project of digging through the belly of the mountain by himself. Then only by building up their own forces first, and having sufficient manpower and material resources, can they put it into action.
Gao Shun saw that Nanying bowed his head and was silent, but when he was still grief, he said a few words of relief.
Nanying's thinking gradually became clearer, so he diverted the topic and said: "Yesterday, I heard that the senior brother mentioned that the people of the leading clan lived in this mountain, and the younger brother thought that he was living in the mountains and mountains, but he never expected it to be such a treasure land, and it was even more large-scale!" ”
Gao Shun's eyes couldn't help flashing a hint of triumph: "This is a coincidence, when I took hundreds of people all the way away, I didn't expect to have such a good place to stay, all because I took care of an idle matter, I got such a big bargain!" ”
Nanying's curiosity suddenly raised: "Oh? Nosy can manage such a good thing? Brother, come and listen! ”
Gao Shun smiled and said: "Here's the thing, two years ago, I took the people to migrate, passing through the mountain, and suddenly saw a group of bandits in front of me robbing the homeless, the homeless people were already hungry and cold, and they were miserable, and when they saw that the bandits wanted to rob them of their only remaining food, they rose up to resist, but where was the opponent of the bandits!" When I arrived, more than a dozen people had died tragically under the knife, I took my people to fight a vicious battle with the bandits, personally beheaded the thief, dispersed the group of thieves, and found the thief's nest according to the confession of a captive. He laughed loudly.
Nan Ying's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, and he couldn't help laughing: "This gang of thieves really lost their wife and ......" Seeing Gao Shun looking at him suspiciously, he almost didn't slap himself, and hurriedly changed his words: "These bandits have really lost a lot of money!" He muttered in his heart: "I don't know what era Zhou Lang's clever plan to settle the world, and the words of losing his wife and breaking his army were handed down, and now there is definitely no one!" ”
had to divert the topic again: "These bandits are so unbeaten, but they are experts in architecture, and a castle is built in style!" ”
Gao Shun smiled and said, "What does Brother Nan think of this castle being built?" ”
Nan Ying carefully looked down at the fortress below, and said slowly: "Although the junior brother doesn't understand architecture, he also understands some superficial truths, you see, the tall wall is built with a mixture of stone and wood, and the corner towers are set up around it, and the shooting platform is arranged very knowledgeably, and there will be no dead ends." Well, it seems that there are also granaries and arsenals built in the fort, and it is even more rare that the area is divided very appropriately, and the space is used to the maximum. This castle should be a typical dock wall style, and the man who built the castle is really a master! ”
Gao Shun listened to Nan Ying's eloquent talk, the look of surprise in his eyes flashed for a moment, and he said lightly: "Brother Nan is really erudite, but he is a false praise, and he really doesn't dare to be it!" ”
Nan Ying exclaimed: "How come it turned out to be built by the senior brother?"
Gao Shun bowed slightly: "At the beginning, the bandits had already built a cottage, but it was too simple, and when it came to defense, it was even worse. There are more than 400 people in my own tribe, and there are as many as 1,000 displaced people attached to me, but how can I live there? In the lower ancestors, he served as a garrison official along the Northwest Great Wall, and he built the dock wall on the basis of the original cottage by the method of building the dock wall in Xia, and built a pass at the only canyon leading to the mountain, so as to prevent the enemy from giving early warning. ”
Said with a smile: "Fortunately, there is no shortage of manpower here, and you can cut wood and quarry, and use local materials, one of the iron smelting masters in my clan even found an iron mine nearby, and there is also a lot of money and grain in the bandit village, and the construction of the project is quite smooth." But Rao is so, and it took nearly a year to build this scale. ”
Nan Ying looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and was leisurely fascinated: "Brother Gao, this is really a treasure of feng shui, there are mountains and rivers, self-sufficient, you will never be able to go out of this mountain, and you will indeed live at ease!" ”
Gao Shun smiled bitterly: "What you say is not entirely true, there is still one thing missing here, that is, salt, I have to go out of the mountain every few months to exchange mountain goods for a large amount of salt." A few days ago, I also went out of the mountain to change salt to save you. ”
Nan Ying praised a few words more, and suddenly wondered: "Senior brother, this is such a fairyland on earth, and it is isolated from the world, and it has already expelled the bandits, but why do you have to spend a lot of energy to build a dock wall?" ”
Gao Shun shook his head and said, "You don't know anything!" Why is this mountain called Black Tiger Mountain? ”
Nan Ying was surprised: "Is there really a tiger!" ”
