Chapter 7: Back to Antiquity
"Okay, thank you, please contact me if there is any news. "This phone call www.biquge.info was made for almost half an hour, and when Liu Yi hung up the phone and came back, he found that the bedroom window was wide open, the wind was blowing and tearing the thin curtains, and the chandelier on the ceiling was shaking violently.
"Little One, where are you?" At first, Liu Yi thought that the sheep was timid and hid under the bed, but in the end, he searched the whole room and couldn't find it.
Liu Yi's search scope expanded to the whole house but to no avail, at this moment there was thunder and lightning outside the house, Liu Yi was very disappointed, but he couldn't find Xiaoyi by all means, and he could only go back to the house to avoid the rain in frustration.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I don't want to die yet, and I don't want to be just a sheep forever." Tang Xu poked his head out of the bushes in the green belt to watch Liu Yi leave, and when he entered the house, he felt a little lonely. But there was no turning back, Tang Xu flexibly crossed the green belt and walked slowly in the heavy rain on the street. Thinking about what he had encountered during this time, Tang Xu couldn't figure out which one was true, but the rain was still very cold on his body, and the wind above his head was still very strong, Tang Xu was a little tired, and his steps were heavy, and the more he walked, the more desperate he became, but if he wanted to go back to be a sheep, he would rather go on like this forever.
At this time, thunder sounded in the sky again, Tang Xu suddenly came to the spirit, maybe catch up with this thunder, and go back to Liujia Village, although I don't know if it is a real existence, at least Tang Xu can be a good person there. He quickened his pace and rushed towards the target, I don't know how long he ran, the hair on his body was all soaked by the rain and became very heavy, Tang Xu's vision began to blur, and his brain became heavier and heavier, and then he almost staggered forward, but the thunder seemed to be always farther away. It was the first time he was so desperate to go back, and he was desperate and unwilling. Am I really not going back? Tang Xu thought so at the last moment of losing consciousness.
"You're finally awake." Before Tang Xu opened his eyes, he heard a familiar voice, but he knew that the owner of this voice was not Liu Yi.
“。。。” Tang Xu, who came to his senses, saw the flock of sheep again, and they all stared at their round eyes one by one, as if they were very concerned. Tang Xu was in an unusually calm mood, and came back as he wished, but he didn't feel happy, nor was he unhappy. If both worlds are as unreal as a dream, who can compare which one is more worthy of nostalgia? However, at least he had a human body again, Tang Xu stretched out his hands, and did not see the soft white curly hair and hard nails.
"Big brother, where have you been? I'm dying of my fifth sister-in-law and you these days. "A person suddenly came out of the flock, it was Liu Lao Wu.
"Fifth brother?" Tang Xu looked at him sneeringly, not understanding whether he was real or imaginary.
"What's wrong? You're hurt? Liu Lao Wu said and touched Tang Xu here and there, and only relieved himself after making sure that he was really safe.
"I'm fine, Fifth Brother." Tang Xu smiled, got up from the ground, and felt really good on the ground.
"It's okay, come back with me, you've been missing for a few days, everyone is so worried, and they think you've been taken by wolves." After Liu Lao Wu finished speaking, he babbled again, complaining that he was unlucky in speaking.
"I'm gone, goodbye." Tang Xu said goodbye to the sheep, since he had been a sheep for a few days, Tang Xu had a little more sympathy for the sheep.
"Big brother, who are you talking to?" Liu Lao Wu originally walked in front, and when he heard Tang Xu talking to people, he felt very strange.
"Sheep." Tang Xu remembered that he hadn't asked Liu Lao Wu about them, did he know that the sheep here could talk.
"Haha, you like to talk to animals? If you don't understand human speech, let's go. Liu Lao Wu was worried that he was weak, so he came to hold him and continue walking. Tang Xu looked back at the sheep, the smart sheep was also there, it winked at Tang Xu, whispered goodbye, and stopped looking at him.
When Tang Xu returned to Liu Laowu's renovated home, the fifth sister-in-law immediately cooked a large table of meals for him, and Ah Hu also jumped over and hugged him and said that he missed him. Tang Xu felt that this place really seemed to have become his home, and his previous escape was like a betrayal, he wanted to cry so much, and felt wronged.
Waiting for Tang Xu to lie on the clean and tidy wooden bed, he began to organize his thoughts, he wondered why he had not been struck by lightning this time, and he had no clue about when he lost consciousness. It is easy to get sleepy when he is full of food and drink, Tang Xu couldn't bear it after thinking about it for a long time, and fell asleep groggily.
After experiencing the helplessness of returning to reality, Tang Xu is not so anxious now, the reason why returning to reality makes people look forward to it is because it can make people feel happy and happy, but when he returns to the real world as a sheep, reality becomes a nightmare. At the end of the day, man is still a selfish animal.
"Brother Tang is here, come and sit here." After Tang Xu found that he could make himself happier here, he no longer thought about leaving all the time, and after his mood stabilized, he began to help the villagers with production more. A while ago, the villagers were overwhelmed by sparrows that came to steal their crops every day. Tang Xu thought about it for a long time, and with the memory on the language book, he put a weird scarecrow in the field, but he didn't expect it to be really useful, the timid sparrow never appeared again, the villagers admired him for being knowledgeable, and Liu Lao Wu regarded him as a model for educating his son Ah Hu. Now that Tang Xu is walking in the village, people are rushing to greet him to sit at home, and they all want to talk to him and chat, which makes Tang Xu very happy.
"Aunt Liu, are you okay?" Tang Xu was invited into the house by an old lady to sit.
"My old bones are still useful." Aunt Liu's gray hair, not many wrinkles, and she is full of anger when she speaks, and she looks like she has participated in labor training since she was a child.
"Is my brother Liu still in the field?" Tang Xu poured a bowl of tea for Aunt Liu to drink.
"I'm still busy, but my family's land is close to the mountain, far away from the pond in the village, my stupid boy wants to bring spring water from the mountain, but with his brain, can he do it?" Aunt Liu sighed.
"There is a spring on the mountain, but it's too far away, and it's a bit difficult to bring the water down." Tang Xu answered.
"Who's to say it isn't." Aunt Liu was suddenly a little embarrassed, rubbed for a long time, and carefully took out dozens of copper coins from her arms and gave them to Tang Xu.
"Huh? Aunt Liu, what are you doing here? Tang Xu was startled and hurriedly retreated.
"Brother Tang, the village knows that you are a capable person, and my stupid boy is also for our family to have a full meal, although he has a stupid brain, but his heart is not bad. My aunt doesn't have any savings in this life, so much for all, I just ask you to help my son find a way to lead the spring water down the mountain. Aunt Liu spoke earnestly and firmly refused to take the money back.
"Aunt Liu, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I don't understand this matter either." Tang Xu was very embarrassed, if he could help, it would not matter if he was not money, but at the moment, this matter was too big, just with him Tang Xu, how could he do it, it was better to let her dispel this idea as soon as possible, so as not to live up to the expectations of others.
"Brother Tang, our village belongs to you the most knowledgeable, if you are really willing to help, you will definitely be able to think of a way, if you are afraid of less money, I will find a way to make up." Aunt Liu was afraid that Tang Xu would shirk it, so she was going to kneel down for him, Tang Xu panicked and quickly helped him up. But this help is equivalent to agreeing to this matter. Aunt Liu smiled and thanked him for her kindness, and Tang Xu was so worried that his brain hurt.
This is good, Tang Xu took a hot yam, he didn't eat lunch and dinner, and he went to the nearby mountain to take a turn, but even if he ran the mountain bald, it was useless. How to divert water, how to take advantage of the situation, how to dig canals, these water conservancy engineering technologies, he didn't know anything about these high school students. Until he went to bed at night, Tang Xu's mind was still like a strong wind, whirring and making a lot of noise.
That night, Tang Xu had a dream, dreaming of a big snake winding on the mountain, the snake head down, spitting apricots, wanting to eat the fruit of a fruit tree not far away, the fruit on the tree is bright red, in a perfect circle, like blood-red beads. The tail of the big snake wrapped around the mountain, slapping the ground from time to time, and the stones on the mountain were constantly shattered, rolling down the snake body to the foot of the mountain.
"What a mess." In the morning, Tang Xu recalled this dream, he didn't know what it meant at all, and he was wandering, and Aunt Liu's son came to find Tang Xu.
"Brother Tang, my mother said you are willing to help me? Thank you so much! Aunt Liu's son gave Tang Xu a big gift when he entered the house, Tang Xu was depressed, why do people here love to do this?
"Actually, I..." Tang Xu wanted to tell the truth, he didn't have the ability to help him divert water to irrigate the fields, and before he could find a chance to speak, Liu Lao Wu came to help.
"My eldest brother is very good, if this thing happens, maybe our village can build a few paddy fields at the foot of the mountain, so that we can ensure the harvest in drought and flood, and everyone will have a good life." Liu Lao Wu said it vigorously, and Tang Xu's head hurt even more.
"Brother Tang, it's not early, let's go up the mountain and have a look?" Aunt Liu's son was on the rise, urging Tang Xu to move quickly. Tang Xu hesitated, but before he could say anything, Liu Lao Wu pushed him out of the door together, and when he left, he also carried several white-flour steamed buns and a piece of sauce elbow, saying that Tang Xu was going to think about big things again, but he couldn't let him go hungry.
This time up the mountain, Tang Xu walked extremely hard, every step he took was a little closer to the gang and shame, he was in a cold sweat on his back, his fists were clenched, and he took the initiative to expose his false face as a pseudo-intellectual when he made up his mind.
