Chapter 2 Thousands of Years Back

Early in the morning, Zhong Hao was woken up by the cries of several gray magpies. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The early birds have worms, and it seems that these gray magpies are still diligent birds.

His body was covered with wet dew, and Zhong Hao had a very tormented night, but fortunately he didn't catch a cold.

Untie the bark rope and descend from the tall poplar tree. I went to the stream and washed my face, and my spirit was much refreshed.

I remembered the "call for flowers and birds" who made supper last night, and there were two leftovers, so I used it as a simple breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhong Hao decided to hurry as soon as possible, trying to get out of this ghost place today, and he really didn't want to spend another night here.

……

The creek meanders south along the mountain.

Zhong Hao walked south along the creek -

However, walking along the creek is not much easier than climbing over the mountains. For in some places, the stream passes through the rocky hills; In some places, the creek is overgrown with thorn bushes, making it difficult to walk.

Zhong Hao walked down the stream, constantly cutting through thorns and thorns all the way, his clothes were full of branches and thorns, and his bleeding skin had been revealed in several places, and his face was also marked by many blood marks from the branches.

Finally walking to a place where the ground was slightly flat and the stream was flowing slowly, Zhong Hao looked up and saw that the sun had passed due south, so he decided to rest here.

Wash, peel and pluck the birds you catch along the way, and make a fire to cook.

The so-called rice is still "called flowers and birds". Although there were still a few sweet potatoes and potatoes in his backpack, Zhong Hao was reluctant to eat them. Because he is familiar with history, he feels that if he really travels to the Northern Song Dynasty or previous eras, these two things may be of great use, and may become a treasure for him to change his fate.

After eating, pack the remaining "Flowers and Birds" in your backpack and continue your trek along the creek.

Along the way, Zhong Hao saw several streams flowing into this stream, but there was no flat and spacious place on both sides of the stream suitable for farming and building villages, so Zhong Hao never saw a human figure.

Zhong Hao didn't know how long he had been walking, he only knew that the sunset had gradually set, and he knew that he couldn't get out of Qingliang Mountain today, and he had to spend the night in this Qingliang Mountain tonight.

Zhong Hao, who was accustomed to going out with various means of transportation in later generations, had reached his limit physically and psychologically after two days of trekking.

Tonight, Zhong Hao did not have any thoughts, because he had just climbed a tall poplar tree and tied himself with a bark rope, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Still woken up by the sound of birds in the morning, Zhong Hao started his day's trek early.

After walking along the creek for a short time, Zhong Hao found that the creek had turned to the east.

After some weighing, Zhong Hao decided to go south. After all, you may not be able to see people if you go east, but you should be able to reach Wangfen Town if you go south, of course, the premise is that there is this town now, but no matter what, Zhong Hao feels that the probability of meeting people is greater when you go south.

Zhong Hao silently looked forward in his heart: he must not travel to ancient times.

Relying on his tenacious will, Zhong Hao walked numbly, turning over one small mountain peak after another, Zhong Hao never knew that the mountain road of more than ten kilometers was so difficult.

Zhong Hao felt that he was about to collapse, but he relied on his will to survive to support his numb progress.

However, when Zhong Hao relied on his last perseverance to climb to a small mountain, he suddenly felt refreshed. Because standing on the top of the small peak, he found that on a small peak opposite, there was a peach blossom forest all over the mountain, extending from the slope to the foot of the mountain.

This is definitely artificially grown, Zhong Hao is very sure. Because if it grows naturally, it is absolutely impossible to grow all over the mountains with peach trees and no other miscellaneous trees.

At the foot of that hill, there was a small stream that flowed slowly from west to east.

It must not be far from the place where people live, Zhong Hao, who saw hope, was in high spirits, and seemed to feel that his feet were no longer painful, his legs were not sore, and his body was full of strength, and he ran towards the stream quickly.

When he came to the stream, he took out the bamboo tube around his waist, scooped a full tube of water, and drank it happily.

This bamboo tube was made from the thick green bamboo it found before leaving the stream. The small saw of the Swiss Army Knife was so short that Zhong Hao was so tired that his hands hurt after only making two.

I thought that bringing two bamboo tubes of water should be able to support me until I walked out of Qingliang Mountain, but I didn't expect that the two bamboo tubes of water would not be able to drink it at all for pedestrians who were trekking hard, and Zhong Hao had already done a great job.

Now that he saw hope, Zhong Hao was in a better mood.

He was ready to take a good rest, eat and drink enough, and walk out of this cool mountain in one go.

Poured out the birds and finches that he had caught along the way from his backpack, washed and peeled and plucked his feathers, and today Zhong Hao decided to change the taste and roast and eat.

Find a few branches, tie them with bark, make two supports, wear three washed and peeled birds, put them between the two supports, and set the dead branches on fire.

There was dense grass everywhere on both sides of the river, and Zhong Hao sat on the grass, lit a jade stream, and slowly turned the birds on the branches while smoking beautifully.

Roasting with an open flame needs to be rotated constantly, otherwise it will be easy to bake.

After a cigarette is smoked, the smell of bird meat on the branches begins to emit a burst of fragrance.

"Mother, I want to eat meat!" A crisp girl's voice came.

When Zhong Hao heard this voice, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, like hearing the sound of heaven, this was the first time he heard a person's voice in three days.

Zhong Hao hurriedly followed the sound and looked, only to see that not far from him, there was a woman wearing a coarse cloth and a hairpin, and a little girl with a double bun on her back, and an old burden on her shoulders. Both of them wore long shirts with a right placket, which was obviously an ancient attire. When the woman saw Zhong Hao looking over, her expression was a little embarrassed, obviously the little girl's abrupt request made her a little helpless.

Zhong Hao saw the costumes of the mother and daughter, and was sure that he had indeed crossed over, but for the time being, he could not determine what era this was from the costumes of this team of mothers and daughters.

The little girl was very delicate, with a sickly look on her face, but her big eyes were quite bright. Her eyes were firmly fixed on the bird meat in Zhong Hao's hand at this time, full of longing.

Zhong Hao raised the bird meat in his hand and greeted with a smile: "Little sister, come quickly, brother invites you to eat bird meat!" ”

The little girl looked at her mother expectantly, obviously the little girl listened to her mother very much, and needed her mother's consent to accept other people's things. The woman's expression was slightly embarrassed, and she felt that she was a little reluctant to ask for Zhong Hao's things in her life.

Zhong Hao saw the woman's embarrassment, and hurriedly smiled: "It's okay, a few birds are nothing, besides, I still have a lot of birds here, just roast them!" ”

Then the woman carried the little girl on her back to the fire and told her to come down.

The little girl happily reached out to take the bird meat in Zhong Hao's hand, said "Thank you, brother", and hurriedly ate it, obviously hungry.

The woman said to Zhong Hao humbly, "Thank you, little brother!" The woman's voice was very soft, and you could see that the woman's personality was very gentle.

"You're welcome, I still have a lot of birds here, I'll roast it again, and you can eat some after it's baked!" Zhong Hao was a little awkward to call this woman aunt, and the woman looked like she was in her thirties, not a few years older than Zhong Hao's actual age. However, now Zhong Hao's body is more than ten years younger, so he can only resign himself to adapting.

Fortunately, the woman didn't notice the fluctuation of Zhong Hao's tone, but she was a little strange about Aunt Zhong Hao's title, but after a little thought, she understood the meaning of this title, and hurriedly excused herself: "No need, my aunt has eaten dry food, and she is not hungry!" ”

After the woman finished speaking, she said to the little girl, "Wan'er, eat slowly!" His eyes were full of pampering and pity.

Zhong Hao roasted the birds and chatted with the woman. He gave the woman a few roasted birds, and she had no choice but to eat.

Zhong Hao cut a thick bamboo tube in half as a pot, put a few birds on each of them, and cut the spring bamboo shoots he dug up on the road to make two pots of bird meat and spring bamboo shoot soup, leaving one pot for himself, and the other pot for the little girl's mother and daughter.

The three of them chatted while eating, and Zhong Hao learned: It is now the first year of Emperor Youyou of the Great Song Dynasty, the little girl's name is Xu Wan, the woman is Xu Feng, and their mother and daughter are from the Daimyo Mansion in Hebei.

It turned out that last summer, the embankment of Shanghuxi in the Yellow River burst and diverted its course to Beida, causing countless fertile fields and houses in the three prefectures and one prefecture along the coast, namely Lanzhou, Bozhou, Cangzhou, and Damingfu, to be flooded, and the victims were everywhere. The flood was followed by the plague, and the little girl's father and brother both died of the plague.

In the spring planting season this year, Hebei Road is in a big drought, but there is no rain, and it is even more difficult for the people of Hebei Road to survive.

Natural and man-made disasters continued, resulting in countless victims on Hebei Road, and many victims flocked to the nearby Jingdong Road to escape.

The mother and daughter heard from the victims of Jingdong Road who fled the famine that the rich minister of Qingzhou who was sitting in the town openly provided relief to the victims, so they followed the flow of people fleeing the famine all the way east to Qingzhou.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the boundary of Qingzhou, Xu Wan'er got a cold and had no money to see a doctor for Xu Wan, but she knew some herbs, so she wanted to try her luck in the mountains to see if she could find herbs to treat the cold, but she didn't expect to go around in the mountains for a long time, and she didn't find a suitable herb.

In the first year of Huangyou, the current official family should be Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, and he didn't expect that he had really traveled to a thousand years ago!

The great diversion of the Yellow River in the eighth year of Qingli is very famous in history, and Zhong Hao has some understanding. It is said that it was precisely because of the bursting of the Yellow River that caused countless people in Hebei to suffer that Song Renzong decided to change the Yuan Emperor's blessing to pray for the emperor to protect the people of the Great Song Dynasty. But apparently the people of Hebei have not been blessed by God, and there is still a severe drought this spring.

Hearing Xu Fengshi say that Xu Wan had a cold, Zhong Hao looked at Xu Wan's symptoms, asked the cause again, and felt that it should be a cold.

Remembering that he had Contec for cold treatment and cephalexin for anti-inflammatory in his backpack, Zhong Hao hurriedly took them out.

I went to the stream again, filled some stream water with a bamboo tube, and took out a few capsules and handed them to Xu.

"Aunt Xu, I happen to have medicine for wind and cold here, give it to Wan'er to drink!"

Xu Fengshi hesitated a little when he saw the colorful capsule in Zhong Hao's hand, this is really a medicine for the treatment of wind and cold? However, when I think that the wind and cold will drag on for a long time, it will kill people, and I have no money to get medicine, and I can't find herbs, so I really have no other choice. Besides, Zhong Hao, who has no reason, will not harm his mother and daughter. took it at the moment, and fed Xu Wan with some trepidation.

After waiting for a while, I saw that Xu Wan was not abnormal, and she was still smiling and talking to Zhong Hao, so she put her mind at ease.

"Aunt Xu, since we are all fleeing from the famine, and we meet here, it is also fate, it is better to go together!" Zhong Hao was chatting with the Xu family just now, saying that he also fled from the famine in Lanzhou, Hebei. Zhong Hao's clothes were ragged, much more miserable than Xu's mother and daughter, saying that he had fled the famine, and Xu naturally believed it.

Xu Wan seems to be very compatible with Zhong Hao, and has been amused by Zhong Hao several times in a short time. The Xu family is orphaned and widowed, and it is not safe to travel alone, and they are also very happy to travel with Zhong Hao. Although Zhong Hao is dressed strangely and his clothes are ragged, his eyebrows are clear and his eyes are beautiful, and he talks elegantly, not like a wicked person. Of course, the main reason is that Zhong Hao is too young, even if he is a villain, the Xu family is not afraid of him.

This is not far from Qingfeng Town, and the Xu family entered the mountain from Qingfeng Town, so he naturally knows the way out of the mountain. With Xu Feng's guidance, the three of them finally came to Qingfeng Town.
