Chapter 9: Leaving the car

Today is the third day after Qu Hao and Wu Mengyao crossed over, and it is also the real beginning of their need to face the unfamiliar environment together: because they want to step into the ancient life circle and start the life of ancient people.

However, their ultimate goal is to travel back into modern society, so they are a little worried about cars that no one is cared for.

Fortunately, although the car was large, it happened to be parked in a relatively hidden position behind a hillside, and the lush branches of a large thick tree on the hillside blocked most of the roof, and it was difficult to spot the car from a distance. This big tree should be visible in the small river, and Qu Hao thought that he might be able to find it by boat in the future.

Qu Hao took pictures of the environment near and far here, so that he could find this place in the future, thinking that one day he would return here and wait for the colorful clouds.

Qu Hao tied the two large backpacks with the items firmly to the motorcycle luggage rack, locked the car compartment and cab, and left with Wu Mengyao.

Meng Yao hugged Qu Hao and silently said goodbye to this place on the motorcycle.

This is the purgatory field where they fell from modern times to ancient times, and here is the little Eden that has witnessed the love of two people. The Purgatory and the Garden of Eden, like hell and heaven, are so sharp and contradictory, but so wonderful that they happen in the same place, it is embarrassing.

Before leaving, the two of them decided where to go.

In fact, wherever they go is a strange and risky journey, and what the two modern young people are facing is all the changes and unknowns of the environment. I don't know when and where it is, and I don't know where the road is. Only one thing is clear: you can't go back to the dangerous post near Liuhe, and the farther away you are, the safer.

Qu Hao drove the motorcycle onto the dirt road again. Drive in the opposite direction of Liuhe.

After walking for more than half an hour, the wasteland finally came to an end, and fields and scattered farmhouses appeared in front of them, giving them some hope.

Feeling that this place was still too close to the station, the two of them did not dare to stop here, but accelerated their speed and drove forward.

The motorcycles drove all the way, and occasionally encountered pedestrians in ancient costumes, some of them holding ancient agricultural tools, some driving cattle while walking, and some harvesting ripe rice in the fields.

After about two hours of driving, the motorcycle finally couldn't move forward---- there was a big river in front of it.

Qu Hao stopped the motorcycle, zoomed in on the side of the river with the lens of his mobile phone, and saw that there was an ancient city on the other side of the river: there were more than 20 large and small wooden boats parked on the river, and the wooden boat was a wharf, and a long city wall was dozens of meters away from the wharf, with an open circular arch in the middle.

Wu Mengyao was very excited to see that there was a city, which meant that she could find a hotel to live in, a restaurant to eat and drink, as well as a market, a bookstore, and a place to amusement: "Honey, quickly find a boat and let's go over." ”

"No, baby. In the past, we would be treated as aliens and monsters, and at worst we would be treated as spies of enemy countries. "Thanks to Qu Hao, he is quite calm.

"So what do we do now?" Meng Yao suddenly lost her claim.

"The only way to find a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, hide the motorcycle, find out what dynasty it is, and then change into local clothes before you go there." Qu Hao said.

After making up his mind, Qu Hao found a higher position on the river bank, dug a big pit with a sapper shovel, took away a few pieces of clothing and a little medicine, two night pearls, and some biscuits and chocolates, buried the two waterproof backpacks in the pit, and then restored the original appearance of the land, marked it and left on a motorcycle.

They had to settle themselves down and change their clothes before they went into the city.

The two of them searched along the riverbank to find a suitable home. Those farmhouses that are relatively concentrated are the first to be excluded. With their modern attire, it will attract too much attention. Neither can the relatively independent but small houses, because the poor farmers cannot provide them with suitable clothing.

But what is disappointing is that most of them are small straw huts, and the poor state of the countryside is clear at a glance.

The motorcycle drove for more than ten minutes, and finally found a blue brick mansion.

The house was a large courtyard dwelling, with a large platform in front of it, which was noticeably taller and more delicate than the others, and must have been a large family here, with a farmer working intently there.

In order to avoid the same dangerous situation as the last time at the post station, Qu Hao decided to hide the motorcycle. He saw a large haystack near this courtyard, presumably to keep it for the winter, so he gently pushed the motorcycle over, opened a big hole under the haystack, and put the motorcycle inside, considering that no one would ride a motorcycle here, even if the owner of the haystack found the motorcycle, the car key was the same whether he put it on the car or not, so he did not remove the key, and then restored the straw stack to its original appearance.

After getting the motorcycle, Qu Hao walked over with Meng Yao.

Approaching the farmhouse, I saw a farmer busy drying rice on the platform, pouring out the rice in the sack, and using a bamboo rake to mix the rice in the grain field to fully absorb the sunlight.

Qu Hao stepped forward and greeted the farmer with his back to them, imitating the etiquette of the ancients in the previous TV series: "Uncle is auspicious."

When the farmer saw someone coming, he turned and saw that he threw all the bamboo rakes on the ground, and then stood there motionless.

I saw that this old man was about 50 years old, and he had the same towering hair and thin face as the three post soldiers, but he was wearing a loosely buttoned linen robe, knee-length loose sleeves on his legs, and a pair of straw shoes on his feet.

"Uncle, don't be afraid, we are just outsiders passing by." Qu Hao said again.

At this time, the farmer seemed to slowly come to his senses.

"Oh. Are you going to Han Yue on the other side?" Uncle said.

At this time, Qu Hao and Wu Mengyao knew that the city opposite was called Han Yue, and Wu Mengyao remembered that Han Yue was the earliest name of Yangzhou in the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Yes. But we want to fight the tooth sacrifice first, uncle, is it convenient for you to have a house?" Qu Hao asked politely.

"Oh, that's right. But I can't be the master of this, I'm not the owner of this house, just a tenant, let me go in and ask, you wait a while. With that, the uncle went in.

After a while, the uncle led a man in his twenties over.

This person was a little fatter than the ancients they had seen before, and he was wearing a satin robe that the ancients had not seen before, and he was wearing a loose jade belt, gorgeous and magnificent, and he looked like a rich young master.

The people who came saw that Qu Hao and Wu Mengyao were extraordinary, and their dress was very different from that of the locals, and they thought they were foreign merchants, so they said after a beating: "Gongzi is auspicious, the contemptible person is the master Wu Rong here, where does the guest come from?"

Qu Hao thought to himself, if it was from Linghai, the other party would not think that he was a spy of the enemy country, so he had to reply and say, "Oh, Mr. Wu is auspicious." I'm Qu Hao. This is the Wu clan of the Cheap Neiqu Clan. We came from overseas. ”

"If you are a guest from afar, you might as well invite you to the burrow for tea, can you?" When Wu Rong heard that they were overseas visitors, he was not surprised by their outfits, and warmly invited Qu Hao and his wife.

"Okay, thanks." Qu Hao and Wu Mengyao were very happy and looked forward to this result.

Wu Rong made a gesture of invitation with his hand, then turned around and walked towards the courtyard with Qu Hao and Wu Mengyao.
