Chapter 2: The Second Year of Zhenguan
Tao Ran has been trekking on the grassland for five days and five nights, followed by a limping wild horse, it was a wounded pony, the wound was bitten by a wild wolf, fortunately at the moment of life and death of the pony, Tao Ran appeared in time to defeat the wild wolf with the Swiss military industry, and the wound on the pony's leg was bandaged in time and simply.
When Tao Ran squatted down to bandage the pony's wounds, the pony lowered his head and licked Tao Ran's cheek with his warm tongue.
After bandaging the wound, Tao Ran got up and walked forward, the pony limped and followed, at first Tao Ran didn't want to take the pony with him, the world is so big, he doesn't know where he is going, how can he even affect a pony?
Tao Ran tried to send the pony back to the herd, and the king of horses happily ran to meet the pony, but after the pony and the king rubbed each other's necks, they still limped stubbornly in the direction Tao Ran left......
Who wouldn't love such a spiritual and grateful pony?
Since then, there has been a scenery of one man and one horse on the grassland.
Tao Ran roasted a lot of hares along the way, and whenever he ate with oil in his mouth and sweated, the pony would always stare at the rabbit meat in Tao Ran's hand with bright eyes.
"Don't look at it, this is rabbit meat, you can't eat it, I have been teaching us since elementary school, and the teacher has taught us that you are herbivores." Tao Ran would use these words every time to respond to the pony with a twinkling eye. After saying that, he didn't forget to throw a handful of tender grass to the pony.
Whenever this time the pony will always bow his head aggrievedly and chew the tender grass that Tao Ran threw over, as for what he thinks in his heart, only God knows.
The sound of a big river rushing in the distance was a natural sound for Tao Ran, who grew up by the Yellow River, and his intuition told him that this rushing river was most likely the mother river of China, the Yellow River.
Tao Ran spread his feet and ran forward, and the pony ran happily when he saw Tao Ran so excited, because Tao Ran applied Yunnan Baiyao to the pony's wound, and the pony's wound had healed.
Tao Ran's eyes were indeed a vigorous river, and the very intimate yellow once again made Tao Ran have tears in his eyes.
It seems that this should be Longzhong, this is the place where I lived and grew up when I was a child, is there a providence in everything.
Tao Ran ran quickly to the Yellow River, knelt on his knees, kowtowed solemnly, and then held the river water in both hands and drank it freely.
A familiar smell instantly filled every cell in his body, filling Tao Ran's body with countless powers.
The pony saw that Tao Ran drank yellow water more fragrant than eating rabbit meat, and couldn't help but lower his head and stick out his tongue to drink, and the sound of tsk was like a beautiful melody echoing in Tao Ran's ears.
A man and a horse with a full stomach stood by the Yellow River, stretched by the sunset for a long time.
Now Tao Ran still doesn't know what era he came into this world, but historical experience tells him that it is always wrong to go east along the Yellow River, and the splendid culture of Chinese civilization for thousands of years has been transmitted to the whole world from here.
"I'll call you rhubarb from now on!" Tao Ran looked at the pony with a round belly supported by the water of the Yellow River and said.
The pony didn't know if he understood Tao Ran's words, so he obediently walked to Tao Ran's side and rubbed Tao Ran's body with his mouth.
Tao Ran took off all the clothes on his body, took a good bath in the shallow place by the river, and washed the clothes on his body. casually gave rhubarb a bath, and the happy rhubarb screamed.
The mobile phone still has no signal, not even the time and date are displayed, and the recording, computer and compass functions and so on can still be used normally.
Tao Ran almost got angry and threw his phone into the Yellow River.
But thinking that he still didn't know where he was, maybe the mobile phone could come in handy in the future, he turned it off again and put it back in his pocket.
At night, Tao Ran lit a bonfire, put the washed clothes on wooden sticks, and put them around the bonfire to bake.
Looking at the four potato eggs under his feet, Tao Ran resisted the idea of baking the potatoes again and again.
The morning sun shone on a man and a horse who had slept soundly all night around the campfire.
A thunderous sound of horses' hooves woke Tao Ran up.
He was surprised and forgot to go to the dense forest on the right side, and Rhubarb also stood up, honestly beside Tao Ran, stunned and motionless.
This is definitely not the sound of the hooves of the wild horses, the hooves of the wild horses are chaotic and disorganized, and the hooves of the horses that have just passed are almost at the same pace, it must be a well-trained war horse.
Tao ran towards the woods on the right like a wind.
The sound of horses' hooves had faded away, and looking at the dust raised on the loess path, Tao Ran laughed loudly.
This is the imprint of human civilization, which runs parallel to the Yellow River, and Tao Ran guesses that this is the main road connecting Lanzhou.
Tao Ran found Renhu, but when he was about to return to the world, he hesitated.
This step out, is it heaven? Or hell?
He didn't know anything about this world, but he had boundless fear, and beads of sweat flowed down his forehead. Rhubarb stuck out his tongue and licked Tao Ran's sweat, as if a friend was comforting him.
Take things as they come! Step on the loess trail to grab, along this road can always find people.
There was no panic in Tao Ran's heart, and when he turned a small hill, the noise of people came intermittently.
I saw seven or eight carriages parked on the side of the road, and from a distance, the big Tang character on the roof of the car opened a smiling face to Tao Ran.
Tao Ran took a few deep breaths and walked calmly towards the other party.
"Qiang boy, so big and daring, he dared to come and rob the grain, and he didn't die quickly." A military master greeted Tao Ran, and then Xue Liang's horizontal knife took out the scabbard and came towards Tao Ran.
Listening to the familiar Guan Zhong dialect, Tao Ran hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands and saluted. "This military master, the little one is not a Qiang person."
The horizontal knife in the military master's hand stopped in mid-air. "It's a Longyou doll, why are you alone, from the direction of the Qiang people? What about your family? ”
Tao Ran was reassured in his heart, although this military master's tone was quite reproachful and questioning, he couldn't hide his strong care. It seems that I met a good person as soon as I was born, and I was lucky.
"Tell the military master, there are no adults, the little master has passed away, and I came out of the mountains by myself, and I have a horse alone."
The military master inserted the horizontal knife back into the scabbard, walked to Tao Ran's side, pulled Tao Ran's clothes and sniffed it vigorously.
"There is no smell of the Qiang people."
Seeing that others were always grabbing Tao Ran, Rhubarb ran over and bit the military master when he opened his mouth.
The military master dodged Rhubarb's attack like lightning, raised his leg and kicked Rhubarb's horse, and Rhubarb screamed in pain.
Several other military masters couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.
The military master at the head looked at Tao Ran carefully, and saw that although Tao Ran was young, he was dressed decently, and the more important thing was that they had never seen the clothes on Tao Ran's body, a pair of leather boots under his feet, the style was strange but very fit, and this young man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, fine skin and tender meat, and he talked extraordinarily, and he was definitely not an ordinary child.
"Where does the young man want to go?" The military master at the head asked.
"The boy has been hidden in the mountains with his teacher since he was a child, the family teacher passed away, the little filial piety has been completed for a year, and the master has been ordered to go down the mountain to Chang'an."
"Oh, if you want to go to Chang'an, you must first pass through Lanzhou, there are still more than 60 miles away from Lanzhou, and the little brother will have to walk for two days," the military master led by Tao Ran looked at Tao Ran and said.
"Master Jun, the little one has been living in seclusion in the mountains with his master, I don't know what year the world is? Please also ask the military master to inform me, so as not to laugh and be generous in the future. ”
"Haha, your master is a teacher in vain, he didn't even know that the emperor had ascended the throne, remember that it is now the second year of Zhenguan"
Tao Ran's heart seemed to be smashed hard by a boulder. In the second year of Zhenguan, King Qin, Li Shimin, was thrown back more than 1,300 years ago.
