Chapter 1: Crossing into Africa?
In the middle of summer, the scorching sun is in the sky, exposing the earth!
Under a small tree, Ji Qiao, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened his eyes, and what caught him was the branches and leaves of the tree stretched out like an umbrella, and a little sunlight penetrated through the gaps.
There was just a light shining on Ji Qiao's left face.
Ji Qiao felt the scorching heat of the sun.
So I was very puzzled: Didn't I fall from a tall building and die! How can you still feel this sun shining on your eyes and face?
Did you cross over?
Ji Qiao's mood immediately became excited!
Unfortunately, at this time, something suddenly fell from the tree, and it happened to fall on Ji Qiao's right face.
Ji Qiao felt a hint of warmth again.
So I reached out and touched it, but I felt that it was sticky, so I put my hand in front of me to look at it.
"Holy, bird!"
Ji Qiao scolded angrily, and immediately sat up, put his hand on the ground to wipe it, and then grabbed the leaves on the ground to wipe his face.
"Gurgle, cluck, cluck......"
Ji Qiao suddenly heard someone laughing, and the sound came from the right side.
So he turned his head to look, and found a boy of about ten years old, with fluffy hair and dark cheeks, shirtless and calves, crawling up from a dirt pit next to him.
The child was wearing a coarse linen coat, but it could not be called clothes, but a few pieces of linen cloth, which were joined together with thin rattan skins to cover the upper body and buttocks.
Ji Qiao couldn't tell whether the child was a boy or a woman, but looking at his thin body, black cheeks, arms, and calves. And his hands and feet were covered with mud, and he showed two rows of white teeth, and he was still "giggling" and laughing.
Ji Qiao looked around again and found that it was full of jungle bushes, plus the scorching sun and hot air!
I can't help but panic! And exclaimed: Africa! I'm going to travel to Africa!
At the same time, I thought to myself: Could it be that this black and thin child is my own? If you have children, you will have a wife! It can't be a chubby black woman!
Thinking of this, Ji Qiao hurriedly looked at his hands, fortunately, it was yellow skin! But my heart is still very unsettled, and I think about it crankily......
At this time, the child corrected very seriously: "This is not Africa, it is Qingzhou." My father and mother said that there is no Africa in Kyushu in the world. ”
Ji Qiaocai didn't care what continent it was, but he was glad in his heart! It turned out that it was not his own child, so the black and fat wife would not exist!
Moreover, you can understand what your child says. But judging from this rough voice, most of them are boys.
Ji Qiao noticed that the soil pit not far away was less than two meters long, more than half a meter wide, and more than twenty centimeters deep.
I was shocked again, I lost the time to cross, otherwise I would have no way to return to the sky!
But he still knowingly asked, "Is this pit used to bury me?" ”
The child showed two rows of white teeth, nodded and smiled: "Yes, but it's not finished yet, it's noon, it's too hot!" My father and mother went back to the cave to rest. ”
Ji Qiao was shocked, who is it? I live in a cave! But he asked curiously, "Why don't you go back?" Aren't you afraid of the dead? ”
The child shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, I said you were asleep, but my father didn't believe it, so I said you were dead." ”
In fact, since the child was born, he has not seen anyone except his father and mother. Therefore, there is no knowledge of the dead, no reverence, and no fear. and insisted that Ji Qiao was just asleep and had to accompany him under the tree.
In order to prevent his father and mother from burying Ji Qiao, he knelt in the pit just now, and pulled the soil on the pit down again, trying to fill the pit.
Ji Qiao asked again, "How did I die here?" ”
The child replied, "You picked up the wood this morning and floated from the sea." ”
Ji Qiaoran! Busy asked: "Is this the seaside?" ”
The child shook his head and said, "This is an island. ”
Ji Qiao is very confused! After a pause, he asked, "How far is this island from the shore?" ”
The child continued to shake his head: "I haven't been there, I heard my father and mother say that there are a hundred miles." ”
Ji Qiao was anxious: "Take me to meet them quickly." ”
......
It wasn't until the evening that Ji Qiao completely figured out: he had traveled to the State of Qi in 379 BC (the early Warring States period), on an isolated island by the sea.
This island is called Lingshan Island, and there is another name called "Prison Mountain".
Why is it called Prison Mountain? is because there is an ancient old man named Jiang Loan (also known as Lu Loan, Jiang's surname is Lu) here.
Who is this Jiang Loan?
His ancestors were famous! Jiang Taigong Jiang Ziya.
When Jiang Loan was fifty-one years old, he became the monarch of Qi and was known as the Duke of Qi Kang in history.
In 391 BC (the 11th year of King An of Zhou), the unlucky Duke of Qi Kang was exiled to an isolated island near the sea under the pretext of "indulging in wine and ignoring political affairs" by Tian He, the minister of state. "Eat a city to worship its ancestors".
Tian He became the de facto monarch of Qi.
In 386 BC, King Zhou canonized Tian He as the Marquis of Qi and officially listed him as a prince. Tian He became the Duke of Qi.
In 379 B.C., Jiang Loan died, and the Jiang clan was denied his worship, and all the Qi kingdom was ruled by the Tian clan.
The history of this event is called "Tian Dai Qi", because only the monarch changed his surname, and the name of the country did not change, so the Qi State in the Warring States Period was often called "Tian Qi".
During this period, although Tian He was in power, he couldn't kill Jiang Loan, because he had to maintain a good reputation, and he couldn't imprison Jiang Loan openly.
So, in 391 BC, Tian He exiled the sixty-four-year-old Jiang to Lingshan Island, where rabbits don't poop, in the name of tourism.
Luckily! Tian He sent one of the women, Mrs. Chen, over to accompany him.
In fact, Tian He was not really kind, but deliberately punished Mrs. Chen, because her father blatantly supported Jiang Loan, and the whole family was killed by Tian He.
Tian He chose Lingshan Island because it was far away from the mainland, and as long as the ship was controlled, the old and frail Jiang Loan would not be able to escape. Lingshan Island has truly become a prison mountain.
In the first few years, Tian He also asked people to send some food and daily necessities every quarter.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Loan's health is getting better and better, and he even has a child with Mrs. Chen.
In this way, there is one person who feels very unhappy, this person is Tian He's eldest son, Qi abolished Gong Tian Yan. In 384 B.C., after the death of Tian He, Tian Yan ascended the throne.
Tian Yan couldn't imagine that he ate and drank spicy food every day, but his body was getting worse and worse; And the old man Jiang, who couldn't eat all day, was getting better and better. actually boiled his father to death, do you want to boil yourself to death?
So he cut off all the necessities of life for Jiang Loan, and then sent someone to see him once a quarter to confirm whether the old man was dead or alive?
After the only food town was recovered, Jiang Loan, who had a problem with eating, had to dig a hole in the slope for a stove.
What I didn't expect was that although the conditions were so difficult, Jiang Loan was still old and tenacious!
For this reason, in the autumn of 380 B.C., when Jiang Loan was seventy-five years old, Tian Yan also brought people to Lingshan Island. First, why doesn't Jiang Loan, who is alive and well, die? The second is to learn from the scriptures, and I also want to live a rare life.
......
In fact, when Ji Qiao first drifted to the island, he was not completely dead, but Jiang Loan and his wife did not understand first aid, and finally died completely.
Ji Qiao now also thinks of his past and present lives.
Ji Qiao in his previous life, in his thirties, had a bad business and owed a lot of debts. So I came to the top of the building and looked for the feeling of jumping off the building, but I accidentally fell down, and it really became a suicide by jumping off the building.
Ji Qiao in this life, eighteen years old, a family of four, fishing by the sea for a living.
Two days ago, when I was going to sea as usual, there was a sudden lightning and thunder, a violent storm arose, and a huge wave overturned the ship.
My father and my brother have fallen into the sea, and I don't know if they are alive or dead? I got the oars in a panic and drifted to the island.
Thinking of his family, Ji Qiao felt very sad in her heart!
But I remember that my father and mother said that my family is descended from the Jin royal family. Due to the partition of the Jin kingdom twenty-four years ago (403 BC) by the Wei, Zhao, and Han families, and the suppression of the members of the Jin royal family, my father fled to the state of Qi for refuge when he was a teenager.
However, the difference between the Jin State and the Qi State was that it was not until 376 BC that the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Zhao and Han deposed the Duke of Jin Jing as a commoner, and the Jin State was completely destroyed.
......
At this time, the moon was shining, and all four of them were sitting in the open space outside the cave.
Although the child was seeing the living person for the first time, he was very close to Ji Qiao and sat next to him.
Ji Qiao looked at the thin, dark-skinned, but energetic Jiang Loan couple and asked, "Have the second elder ever thought about escaping from this island?" ”
Ji Qiao desperately wanted to escape, leaving only a dead end. Even if he doesn't starve to death, he will be killed by Tian Yan's people in front of Jiang Loan's henchmen!
