Zhou Nan felt a burst of pain in his body, indescribable swelling pain, sometimes on his legs, sometimes on his arms, sometimes on his head, and sometimes he couldn't tell where it was. He felt like he was floating in the air, and he felt like he was lying on the ground. He opened his eyes, and it felt bright and glaring.

"The official is awake?"

My dear? Zhou Nan heard the crisp voice of a girl in his ear, and he was a little used to the dazzling light now, and it was the sunlight outside the window that shone in. There was a girl next to her, and she should be the one who spoke just now. It's just that he doesn't know this girl, where is he?

Zhou Nan looked carefully, and saw that this girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, the age when she had just graduated from junior high school, her long hair was parted and combed into two buns on the top of her head, and her upper body was a light cyan narrow-sleeved slanted collar shirt, with a smooth forehead, slender and curved eyebrows, big round eyes, and her face was the most standard goose egg face of Zhou Nan's favorite oriental woman, with smooth cheeks, earlobes like beads, and small and ruddy lips.

Zhou Nan's first reaction was: Damn, who did this? Got yourself into the crew?

The girl saw that Zhou Nan just looked at her fixedly and didn't speak, so she said again: "The day before yesterday, the slave brother and his partners went to the east of Laojun Mountain to hunt, and it thundered on a sunny day, and it rained again, and the thunder was so loud, when the slave brother came down from Laojun Mountain, on the slope outside Laojun Cave, they found the official lying on the ground, and there was a flash flood on the east Laojun Mountain as soon as it rained, and the slave brother saw that you fainted, so he and his partner carried you back, the official's hair was scattered, the clothes on his body seemed to have been burned, and his shoes were gone. The elder brother said that it must have been the officials who climbed down the hill quickly so as not to wash away the torrent. Official, please look," the girl pointed to the ground with her finger, Zhou Nan turned her head to look, and saw a blue-black pants thrown on the ground, with a black one, a brown one, and a torn strip of rag. There is also a short-sleeved shirt, which is also charred and tattered.

Zhou Nan's mouth moved, her tongue felt wrinkled, and the girl hurriedly said: "Don't say too much, official, the corners of your mouth were bleeding that day." Zhou Nan didn't know what was going on, so he stopped talking.

When the girl saw Zhou Nan lying down, she said to Zhou Nan: "Wait a while, the slave family will pour hot water for the officials to eat." ”

Zhou Nan saw the girl's posture and went out, so he looked around carefully. He was now in a stone house, the walls were made of simple, thick stones, the doors were made of wood, the windows were small, also made of wood, a square frame, and a bow and a pot of arrows hung on the stone walls, and a few animal skins. The ground was also of stone, and a shallow pit was dug in the middle of the house, and the inside was so black that it looked like a place for a fire.

He sat up and moved his limbs, and there were no wounds on his body other than the pain. He tried to stand up, only to see a pair of straw shoes next to the bed, similar to the size of his own feet. He put straw sandals on his feet, originally thinking that they would be very prickly, but after wearing them, they were very soft, just like wearing sandals. He tried to walk a few steps, which were lighter than the sneakers he had worn before. On his legs is a pair of brown pants and a stone blue cardigan shirt on the upper body. Probably the person who rescued him back changed it for him.

He lifted his left arm, and a scar about an inch long stretched across the outside of his left forearm. This deep scar on his left arm was cut by a suspect with a knife during one of his actions. He looked again, and his hands were still his own hands, and his feet were his own feet. He walked quickly to the table, there was a bowl of water on the table, he picked it up, and in front of the water in the bowl was a familiar and unfamiliar face, familiar, that was his face, and unfamiliar, that was his face twenty years ago.

Is it really crossed? Zhou Nan's eyes seemed to float down a line of golden words from the sky: dreams come true. God, you are so obedient, I want a stone house on the hillside, and you can't send me to this place of unknown age!

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then a tall and stout man came into the room, put his hands on his shoulders, and looked at him carefully. Zhou Nan's height of 175 is even shorter than this man.

The tall man looked at it for a while, and then high-fived happily and said: "I just said that you will be fine, official, and you have not hurt half a hair after being struck by thunder, you must be a noble person with great blessings." ”

"Thunderbolt?" Zhou Nan was taken aback.

"Yes, that day, when I and Liuzi were outside Laojun's cave, it was like lightning falling from the sky, followed by thunder, and you were lying on the ground, all over your body as if they had been burned, and your clothes were all in strips, just like the big poplar tree that was struck by lightning on the top of the mountain last summer." The tall man looked at Zhou Nan, and saw that Zhou Nan didn't seem to be in the way, so he asked Zhou Nan to sit, ran out just now, and now the girl who came in behind the tall man was holding a clay pot in her hand and a white porcelain bowl in the other hand, put the bowl on the table, poured the water in the clay pot into the bowl, and the heat rose from the water in the bowl.

The tall man said to Zhou Nan: "This is my home, my surname is Gao, and my single name is far away." This is the housemate. I don't know where the official is? Why did you come to this remote place? ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and just said, "My surname is Zhou, Zhou Nan; I am a native of the Central Plains, and I was plundered to the north by gangsters when I was a child, and I made a living by herding horses, and I lost a horse the day before yesterday and chased it to this ...... What is this place? "Zhou Nan made up a life experience for himself so easily, Liao State is not like the Song State with strict household registration population management, and he said that he was working in Liao State, and it was easy to be confused. In fact, Zhou Nan still wanted to ask what dynasty it was now, but he didn't know how to speak.

The tall man asked, "Where is the official grazing?" Zhou Nan shook his head blankly, he couldn't make it up if it was too detailed. You can only play dumb.

The girl whispered to the man named Gao Yuan, "This official doesn't seem to know anything, you see, he doesn't remember where he is from. The tall man waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Lao Zheng Tou has already explained, saying that this little official may be a lightning strike, or a collision, and he will be raised for a while." Then he replied to Zhou Nan: "This is Wuzhai Ridge in the southwest of Yi County, under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, Xijin Prefecture, Great Liao State. The official will slowly raise it for a few days, and there is no need to be anxious. I still have something to do, so I don't have to accompany me. After finishing speaking, he walked outside, and said loudly outside the house: "I stewed the pheasant I set yesterday for the little officials, and I will nourish my body." ”

When the girl saw that the tall man was gone, she said to Zhou Nan: "Official, there is a Langzhong here in the slave family, and he has also shown it to the official, but it is not a big deal." I can't think about it for a while, so I just live here, although the slave family is poorer, the slave brother often helps some neighbors, and will not neglect the officials. ”

Zhou Nan got up again and thanked the girl, and said to the girl: "Brother Gao is bold and righteous, thank you for it." I just don't know what the little lady is called? "Since I know that this is Yizhou in the territory of Liao, I probably know that it is the Song Dynasty, and I also know that it is the Yixian of the later generations. In this time and space, calling a young woman is "little lady", "little lady" or "lady", but it is really not the kind of meaning that later generations called their wives, calling young men is called "official" or "little official", and there are also familiar people like Gao Yuner called him, according to the ranking in the family, and a lang is added to the back. Although it feels awkward, I can only follow the local customs.

"The slave's surname is Gao, and the single name is a Yun character." The girl looked worried, but told him anyway.

One afternoon, Gao Yun was accompanying him, talking about the Wuzhai Mountains, and he was only willing to take him to the courtyard outside the house, refusing to go far. From Gao Yun's explanation, Zhou Nan knew that this was an old house of the Gao family, and the Gao family brothers and sisters did not live here now. This place is called Gaojiayu, and there are several villages adjacent to Gaojiayu next to it, which are called Wuzhailing together. People here rarely go out, only hunting in this mountain, planting some crops, every year only to find food to eat, Gao Yun a girl, only know that there is a state city called Yizhou in the distance, here used to belong to the Southern Song Dynasty, and later robbed to the Liao, come and go, because the mountain is poor and the road is steep, but there are few military disasters. Zhou Nan judged that this should be a certain col in Taihang Mountain west of Yi County, and after several Song and Liao wars, there was peace for several generations here, and the time should be the late Northern Song Dynasty. It's just that Gao Yuan didn't say more news, so that Zhou Nan couldn't judge that this was the specific time of the Song Dynasty.
