Chapter 6: A Journey

In a daze, Zhou Nan felt that someone was there, and when he was about to get up, he found Gao Yun standing next to him, "Brother Zhou, I want you to close the door at night, why don't you listen?" Thankfully, there was nothing to do during the night. Gao Yun has slowly become familiar with Zhou Nan in the past two days, and seeing that Zhou Nan didn't say how much to do at home, he directly called Brother Zhou and nagged. This detail is very familiar to Zhou Nan. Zhou Nan found that all women, whether in the past, present or future, have this trait.

Zhou Nan got up and went to the yard to wash his face with water, he was a little hungry, but it seemed that Gao Yun didn't prepare breakfast for him. "Is Big Brother Gao back?" He remembered that last night Gao Yun said that Gao Yuan went out to hunt wild boars.

"I just came back, more than a dozen people, tossed all night, and didn't hit. I heard my brother say that there is a big boar in this group of wild boars, which is a leak after a battle, and it is not easy to fight. Seeing that Zhou Nan was a little confused, Gao Yun explained: "Leaky is the prey that escaped during hunting before, and it is the most difficult to fight again." Gao Yun said again: "Brother Zhou, are you better?" Zhou Nan nodded, seriously, I don't know if it was the credit of the can of pheasant and tiger ginger last night, or the time and space travel that made his physique change, and he didn't feel energetic for a long time. I woke up today feeling refreshed, "Today I want to go out for a walk." Zhou Nan said.

"Brother Zhou, if you're tired of walking, we'll come back, and we'll take our time." She also wanted to go out for a walk with him, so she agreed with Zhou Nan like this.

Zhou Nan and Gao Yun came out of the courtyard for the first time, Gao Yun was worried that Zhou Nan was just in good health, so he cut a bamboo to make a crutch for Zhou Nan, Zhou Nan was resolute at first, Gao Yun insisted that Zhou Nan take it, Zhou Nan took it and went out with Gao Yun.

Gao Yun led the way beside him, and Zhou Nan followed behind. Looking at Gao Yun, who was walking slowly in front of him with a green shirt and cloth skirt and a double shoulder bun, and then looked at himself, a gown (this was later known by Zhou Nan, similar to the half-big coat of Zhou Nan's era, only split under the armpit) was draped casually, with a bamboo cane in his hand and a pair of bast shoes under his feet, and suddenly the image of a great writer with "bamboo cane and mango shoes are lighter than Ma Yiyan and rain Ren Pingsheng" suddenly appeared in his mind. Thinking of Su Shi, Zhou Nan was also looking forward to it, and he couldn't imagine that he could be so close to Su Shi - so close in time. All of a sudden, Zhou Nan was looking forward to it.

Thinking like this, Gao Yun and Zhou Nan have already arrived on a hillside, it turns out that the house where Zhou Nan now lives and several nearby families are in a sunny place on the halfway up the mountain, and behind them is a low but steep cliff. In front of the house is a vegetable field, surrounded by a courtyard dam, and behind the house is a bamboo forest and jujube trees. It's like the end of summer, and the green is covered with brown stones. Looking up, the white clouds hang low, as if they are all in front of you, just like the clouds draped on the mountain. Looking into the distance, there are mountains all around, continuous, some of which are steep and sharp, and some of which are jagged and strange; Looking down, there are deeper cols. There was a stream that flowed down from the mountain, gurgling through it, and going down into the valley. In the flat place, there are some fields planted up and down, and the fields are sorghum, beans, millet and the like, the length is sparse and sparse, and there is no harvest scene in the era of Zhou Nan at all. There are some sour jujube trees growing on the mountain cliffs, persimmon trees and chestnut trees can be seen everywhere on the hillside and roadside, the persimmons that are full of round trees have not yet turned red, and the chestnuts that are still in the pods are hanging on the trees and dancing in the wind.

Zhou Nan is now taking the road leading to Gao Yun's house, from Gao Yun's words yesterday, Zhou Nan knows that Gao Yuan and Gao Yun's brother and sister are orphans, and they were raised by neighbors living in this mountain col. The two of them are also competing, hunting, farming, building houses, and making a living in all these five villages. Gaojiayu, where they are located, is the most populous of the five villages in Wuzhailing, and there are about three or five hundred people, all of whom are Han Chinese. This place originally belonged to the Liao State, but no one in the Liao Kingdom cared about it at all, and the people of the Song Dynasty would not come, although it had passed for several decades, but the customs here were still the habits of the Song Dynasty. It is rare for most people to see it in ordinary times, unless it is to hunt big prey, and when they are hunting in groups, they usually go their own way. If it is placed in the era before Zhou Nan, it is definitely a resort and leisure resort in the peach blossom spring. But now it's different, to be honest, being teleported to this place, whether you have to eat or not, whether you have to wear or not, if you are not careful, no one knows if you eat it to the wolf in the middle of the night.

While the two were chatting, they came to Gao Gaoyun's house, and when they walked into the courtyard, they heard a commotion in the house, like a quarrel.

"If I want to speak, I have to call the hunters of the whole village, bring more iron clips, dig more pits......"

"No matter how many people you call, it won't help, bring more hunting dogs, and be strong, you can bite two heads to death......"

"Look at me, protect the crops as soon as possible, and ...... first"

"Jia Liu, how many ...... did you make of the clamp?"

A big black and stout dog roared at Zhou Nan, and Gao Gaoyun barked at the dog, "Da Hei, go back." The big dog obediently lay back, but still stared at Zhou Nan and looked at the strange man.

Gao Yun dragged Zhou Nan in, and six or seven young men all stood up and greeted one after another: "Brother Zhou, are you better today?" "Brother Zhou has created a great transformation, and he must be a god-like person. "I think Gao Yuan has already told the Orion about him, and the Orion is called him that.

Zhou Nan looked at these simple and sincere faces, only Gao Yuan was familiar, or he was new to him, although he didn't know these people, but among these people, there might be people who rescued him back with Gao Yuan that day. Gao Yuan looked at Zhou Nan at a loss, so he said to Zhou Nan: "These are all partners who hunt together on weekdays. Holding Zhou Nan's hand, he pointed to a dark and stocky man and introduced: "This is Jia Liu, a good iron ...... made" and pointed to two young people who looked similar, had strong muscles and bones, and slender legs and feet, and said: "This is Gao Shouzhong, Gao Shouxiao, Shouzhong is the elder brother, and Shouxiao is the younger brother." He pointed to a skinny, sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man and said: "This is Zhou Fu, the third in the family, usually called the third brother Gao, is the youngest one here, don't look at the young age, but we can't catch up with the bow and arrows." "This is Zuo Xiaosi, the most skillful hand, setting up a trap, putting a rope sleeve, and catching the most wild things each time." A large-eyed, slender young man smiled and nodded.

The last person was a thin young man, who looked very thin, not like the few people who ran all over the mountain just now, Gao Yuan slapped this young man on the shoulder, and said to Zhou Nan: "This kid is Zhou Xing, the most filial, but not hunting, on weekdays, we can only help us people to take care of the crops, look at the door, we go out to hunt, and we are all at ease." If you hit a wild thing, you won't miss him every time. ”

Zhou Nan nodded, Gao Yuan didn't specifically introduce who rescued him down the mountain that day, it was these people who didn't take saving him to heart. It can be seen that Gao Yuan is the leader among this group of young people, and everyone is willing to obey him. Zhou Nan said to everyone: "In the next Zhou Nan, thank you for your rescue the day before yesterday, and I will repay you in the future." All the hunters were honest and excused. Gao Yuan stopped everyone and said loudly: "Brother Zhou came to Wuzhai Ridge this time, this is the blessing of God. What kind of place is Laojun Cave?! Brother Zhou was struck by thunder, but he was still standing alive, this is the manifestation of the mountain god's grandfather. Tonight, we will bring more clips, more hunting dogs, or the old rules, Zhou Xing looks after the house, just us people, we have to shoot this group of mountain boars. Get ready! The crowd answered, and they all left.

Gao Yuan looked at Zhou Nan's face seriously, and said, "Rest for a few more days, and everything will be fine." Yun'er, you cook, let's eat together, I'll go up the mountain after eating. As he spoke, he beckoned Zhou Nan to sit casually, began to check the bow and arrows, took off the hunting knife from the wall, and began to sharpen the knife by the pool in the courtyard.
