Chapter 20: Exploring the Ancient City at Night
When night fell, the grass huts were once again shrouded in endless darkness, and the streets were empty, and the whole street was once again silent at night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Zheng turned his head and carefully observed Zhao Ji for a while, and after making sure that she was asleep, he carefully removed her arm from his body, got up and tiptoed towards the stove. Holding the bronze kitchen knife on the stove in his hand, he sneaked towards the windshield.
Although the five fingers in the house were missing, fortunately, the structure of the house was extremely simple, so although the smear action did not cause any inconvenience to Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng wanted to use another trick to stun Zhao Ji, but he thought that he would not go far this time, so he gave up.
Because he had seen how the big dog and the second dog opened the windshield, Zhao Zheng carefully propped up this window, which was extremely old and unfamiliar to him. Then a sharp forward roll, Zhao Zheng jumped out of the grass house.
Turning around and lowering the windshield gently, Zhao Zheng subconsciously squatted in place and observed the surroundings with great vigilance. After making sure that there was nothing abnormal nearby, Zhao Zheng grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and slowly released his hand, and after identifying the direction of the dust falling with the wind, he slowly moved it to the upwind outlet.
After all, the spring nights were windy, and the rugged dirt roads were dusty with a hint of cool night wind, and the whole street looked foggy, which was excellent for Zhao Zheng.
At this time, the streets and alleys were empty, and even the dogs in the depths of the alleys yawned and fell asleep. Low, dilapidated adobe and straw houses sit jaggedly on both sides of the street, and every now and then a gust of wind carries small pebbles, crackling the doors and windows of the houses.
The further he went, the stronger the sense of loss in Zhao Zheng's heart became. At this time, Zhao Zheng would rather have a long, magical and real dream before he was dying in the ancient tomb, rather than just live in another world in such a blur.
Just when Zhao Zheng was thinking about slowly moving forward, there was suddenly an intermittent wheezing sound from behind him, and Zhao Zheng, who was on alert all over his body, didn't say a word, waved the bronze kitchen knife and turned around. However, when the knife fell, except for the slight sound of the kitchen knife, Zhao Zheng didn't even touch it.
"Huh?"
Zhao Zheng quickly squatted down, looked around, and scolded in his heart: "Damn, the wheezing sound is indeed very close to him, why is there no movement all of a sudden, is it because he is hallucinating?" ”
"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"
"Holy! What the hell is this life, where the hell did this sound come from! ”
When an extremely clear wheezing sound came into his ears again, Zhao Zheng immediately dodged and hid in the corner.
"Huhu...... Whew...... Whew......"
"Why is it getting louder? Still...... It's still a man's! Zhao Zheng squatted against the wall and couldn't help but be shocked.
At this time, Zhao Zheng was most worried that he had been secretly targeted by others, after all, "the open sword is easy to dodge, but the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent", not to mention that it is still a big night.
The voice...... Hiss...... It seems to be from ......"
Zhao Zheng suddenly turned his head to look at the wall behind him, and then put his ear to the earthen wall. After putting his ear against the wall, Zhao Zheng's originally solemn face instantly turned red.
"Smack, smack, slap......"
A series of flesh collision sounds unreservedly drilled into Zhao Zheng's ears accompanied by the man's hearty panting and the woman's moaning, this familiar and unfamiliar sound made Zhao Zheng lose his mind for a while, and his heart involuntarily "thumped" and jumped up.
At this time, Zhao Zheng seemed to be slightly restless, and his heart was full of the urge to stick to the wall and eavesdrop again.
"Not good!"
Knowing that evil thoughts began to arise in his heart, Zhao Zheng immediately bit the tip of his tongue, and the strong pain made him sober up a lot in an instant.
Zhao Zheng, who had red ears and a thick neck, scolded secretly while withdrawing his ears from the earthen wall: "I'll ...... Scared Lao Tzu! ”
After figuring out what was going on with the sound, Zhao Zheng, who knew that there was a false alarm, continued to walk along the originally planned route.
The spring breeze of the night, like a clear spring, cleaned up the distractions in Zhao Zheng's heart. It didn't take long for Zhao Zheng to walk to the crossroads of the streets. Holding the corner of the wall, Zhao Zheng squatted on the ground and carefully observed the remaining three directions.
Zhao Zheng curled up at the south intersection at this time, and when he saw a tall plane tree not far to the east, he couldn't wait to run towards the big tree. Because Zhao Zheng was barefoot, and it was a dirt road, although the running movement was very large, it did not cause a big noise.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Zheng came to the bottom of the big tree. Looking at the big tree that was big enough for three adults to embrace, Zhao Zheng spit two mouthfuls of saliva on his hands and then climbed up. Although the tree is very large, Zhao Zheng is from a special forces, so he trampled the entire tree under his feet in the blink of an eye.
Standing in the treetops and looking from afar, I saw that it was pitch black all around, and I could hardly see the distant scenery clearly. Only the relatively tall buildings in the distance could be faintly seen in the faint moonlight. Looking into the distance, you can only see a circle of black behemoths encompassing everything around you, and if you look closely, it turns out to be a majestic city wall.
"I'm cao!"
Looking at the nearest section of the city wall, Zhao Zheng, who was standing on the treetops, was stunned.
Although some cities in contemporary China still retain their walled buildings, such as the old Yongnian City in Xi'an and Handan, these walls have all been modernized and repaired. However, the city wall in front of Zhao Zheng was full of holes and devastation, and at a glance, he knew that he had experienced the baptism of the Great War. What's more, at this time, the city wall was crowded with people, torches were rising, and the big banner of "Zhao" was waving in the wind.
"Damn, it can't be, absolutely impossible!"
Staying in the house during the day, perhaps because of the freshness, Zhao Zheng did not feel that there was anything wrong with traveling through the ancient two worlds, and even comforted himself with the allusion of "Huangliang Dream". But now, Zhao Zheng's heart has already flown back to the earth two thousand years later.
"No, this is not my home! Lao Tzu would rather die in the ancient tomb than stay here for even a second! ”
The mood of homesickness suddenly made no sense, and Zhao Zheng didn't know why his mentality was so different at this time. However, these Zhao Zheng no longer have any mind, at this time, he is bent on returning to the future, back to the world that should belong to him.
"Our army will definitely win this war, the location of the tomb must have been received, and the T group must have saved itself from the tomb. Lao Tzu must be dreaming now...... Dreams are uncountable and cannot be taken seriously! Zhao Zheng seemed to have lost his mind, and he held on to the trunk of the tree weakly and whispered uncontrollably.
For some reason, a strange logic suddenly flashed in Zhao Zheng's mind, that is, when a person was dying, his soul had already traveled to other parallel worlds, and if the person concerned accepted another world, then he would really die in the previous world.
"Lao Tzu is not dead, Lao Tzu is still alive......"
Because of his emotional excitement, Zhao Zheng trembled while chattering non-stop. I don't know what stimulated his nerves, Zhao Zheng suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it into the trunk of the tree beside him.
Since Zhao Zheng was born in a special forces, his fists have long been trained in the army and are full of calluses, although he looks like a child on the surface at this time, his ability has not deteriorated. Therefore, when this punch smashed firmly on the tree, Zhao Zheng did not feel any pain, but the bark of the tree where it was smashed had burst open.
Tearing off the bark little by little, Zhao Zheng has realized that he may not be able to go back. Suddenly, Zhao Zheng's tears flowed uncontrollably and fell on the land of another world......
