Chapter 1: A Lost Fish
Midsummer in August.
Working outdoors in the scorching sun is nothing short of torture.
The construction sites in the city have stopped, but Chen Yu can't stop.
The hikers stumbled upon a monument, and the archaeological team had to arrive immediately without the slightest delay.
The sun is dazzling, the heat wave hits, and climbing the mountain is a hard work.
Sweating and panting, it was inevitable.
Fortunately, as the altitude increases, the temperature gradually decreases, especially when a gust of mountain wind blows, which is cool and comfortable.
The historic sites discovered by the travelers are in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, like an ancient mountain road.
After seeing it, the professor who led the team was immediately full of interest, claiming that it might be an ancient road that had long been abandoned and ignored and forgotten by future generations.
After the Meridian Road, Luo Road, and Bao Slope Road, there will be a new name of the ancient road.
What a big discovery!
This is an important historical material for the study of ancient Qinling Mountains, Qin-Pakistan economic and cultural exchanges, and it is of great significance.
As an intern, Chen Yu was also happy in his heart, and he followed the professor, and the graduation thesis title and materials were available.
Start work, get to work.
Soon, Chen Yu and his colleagues found artificially excavated steps on the mountain wall behind the bushes, which seemed to be very old.
There are also ceramic shards, as well as rusted copper and iron objects, such as arrowheads, iron drills, and other weapons tools.
Immediately afterwards, several ancient coins were excavated, although they were rusty, but the old-eyed professor still deduced from some details, such as Kaiyuan Tongbao.
Tang Dynasty monuments?
Roughly speaking, it is not possible to jump to conclusions.
The discovery continued, bypassing a few trees, and on a rather steep cliff face, Chen Yu made an unexpected discovery.
Although the moss is mottled, some traces of stone carvings have been found, and there are inscriptions or petroglyphs on the mountain wall.
This is an even more significant discovery, and the text sheet has always been the most direct and precious historical material.
With the assistance of his companions, Chen Yu climbed near the stone wall by stepping on the rocks, carefully removing the moss, and the stone carvings gradually revealed their true faces
When the lower right corner was revealed, Chen Yu couldn't wait to come forward to take a closer look.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
It was a painting, or rather a emblem, with the appearance of a fish leaping out of the water.
The point is that it is very similar to the personal logo I designed a few days ago.
Eccentric!
His logo actually appeared in the Qinling Mountains, on the stone carvings of the Tang Dynasty under the moss......
Chen Yu was shocked, and suddenly felt a little dizzy.
After a stumble, the accident happened.
stepped on the air under his feet, fell and rolled off the mountain wall......
……
Cold!
It's cold!
Chen Yu woke up from freezing.
There was a slight pain in the back of the head, which must have been a fall.
Sitting up with his arms propped up, looking around, Chen Yu was suddenly dumbfounded.
The surrounding area is a forest, but it is not where the previous monuments are.
The professor and his colleagues in the archaeological team were also gone, and he was alone in the empty mountains.
The midsummer of August turned into a cold winter, and the bleak mountain wind blew through the dry fallen leaves, and I couldn't help but shiver.
What's even more bizarre is that his hiking shoes have become a pair of rag shoes, and his jeans and sun-protective clothing have become tattered linen robes and rotten sheepskin jackets.
Even the body doesn't seem to be his own.
At least I've never had so many scars and calluses on my hands.
What's going on?
Don't......
Chen Yu thought of an unbelievable possibility.
……
A tiger roar woke up the distracted Chen Yu.
It's too late to think about it, it's all about surviving.
Looking around, there are homemade bows and arrows beside him, as well as a hunting knife.
Hunters?
By the way, there's also a cloth bag with a small piece of stiff and taut pasta in it, and nothing else.
There was no sun in the sky, but his intuition told Chen Yu that it was getting dark.
Spending the night in a wilderness forest infested with wild beasts is undoubtedly dangerous.
You have to find a safe place to leeward, and you need a fire.
Otherwise, they will either freeze to death or become food in the mouths of beasts.
Luckily, it didn't take long to find a leeward, slightly sunken mountain wall and a pile of dry firewood.
It is not an easy task to drill wood to make a fire, Chen Yu has tried, relying on both hands to rotate and rub, but it is not enough to burn the heat.
Fortunately, there is a bowstring, which makes it much easier to generate heat by friction.
When the flame ignited, Chen Yuchang breathed a sigh of relief.
The flames made the body that was about to freeze feel the warmth that had not been felt for a long time, and Chen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The stomach was already empty, and Chen Yu turned out the hard piece of pasta and put it on the fire to roast it.
It didn't taste good, but for the sake of the heat, I had to swallow it with a frown.
Without water, it was very uncomfortable to chew dry cakes, but I had to give in.
As the sky grew dark, and the night soon covered the mountains and forests, it was tantamount to suicide to go out in search of water.
A bonfire seems small and weak in the vast mountains and forests, but for Chen Yu, it is survival and hope.
Stiffness and numbness and limbs have gradually stretched, but weakness and sleepiness cannot help but strike.
But Chen Yu didn't dare to close his eyes at all, the sound of the tiger roaring and the wolf's howl was not very far, and he had to be vigilant and add firewood at any time to ensure that the bonfire was not extinguished.
Beasts are afraid of fire, and this is the only way to protect themselves.
Looking at the flickering flames, Chen Yu's thoughts were a little confused.
Half a month ago, I went on a trip to the grassland with my friends and participated in a bonfire party. That night, by the fire, everyone drank heartily and enjoyed themselves.
I didn't expect to see the campfire again, but I was alone.
Chen Yu had a feeling that he couldn't go back.
Perhaps only in dreams can we recall the old days, the youthful years.
When the day was almost dawn, Chen Yu finally couldn't hold his tired body and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn and the campfire was already dying.
Unfortunately, there was still no sun in the sky, and the fog was filled, and after carefully observing the terrain, Chen Yu felt that he should be on a high mountain.
It's hard to tell if it's the mountain.
Chen Yu immediately took his bow and arrow, held his hunting knife, and walked towards the lower valley.
In general, there are springs and streams in the valleys.
At the moment, he was very thirsty.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before I found shallow water marks between the rocks, and not long before I heard the sound of trickling water.
Chen Yu clenched the hunting knife, his pace slowed down, and his spirit was highly vigilant.
The mountain streams are also the water supply of the beasts, so you should not be careless.
After a closer look, he found that it was a false alarm, and out of the bushes, a clear stream came into view, and there was no sign of wild beasts around.
Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to run to the stream.
However, the moment he squatted down by the stream, Chen Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
The reflection in the water is a strange face, very different from the former self.
Bensan's graduate student was gone, replaced by a boy with a young face, at most fifteen or sixteen years old.
All right!
A wry smile appeared in the reflection.
The last trace of luck is gone, and the unbelievable absurd idea has finally become a fact.
Crossed over!
Falling off the mountain wall, the soul is reborn in the body of an ancient boy.
At this moment, it can only be inferred from the linen clothes on the body that it should be before the Yuan and Ming dynasties, when cotton cloth was popular.
As for which dynasty and which generation, nothing is known.
In this uninhabited barren mountains and mountains, I don't even know where I am.
Like a lost fish.
Chen Yu sighed, very helpless.
But so what?
Judging by the current indications, it seems that there is no return ticket for this crossing.
Chen Yu is not a person who is at ease with what he encounters, but he knows how to face reality objectively.
Although, the reality is absurd.
That's it!
If you come, let it be safe!
The top priority is to get out of this wilderness and forest, the place where there is no human population is too lonely, and every time there is a tiger howling and a wolf howling, it makes people tremble.
Chen Yu took a sip of the stream water, washed his face, wiped off the water stains, held the hunting knife, and continued to walk downstream......
