Chapter 2 Peach Blossom Village

The red sun sets in the west, the sunset shines in the evening, under the shade of the towering mountains, there is a small mountain village with beautiful scenery, called Peach Blossom Village. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the fields of Peach Blossom Village, the meandering stream flows slowly, the clear water of the stream is clearly visible, and on both sides of the stream are one crop after another.

Li Laohan raised the hoe high, and then retracted the force around his waist, and the hoe smashed heavily into the soil, Li Laohan held the hoe's hand and pulled it again, and then dug out a large piece of soil, and then smashed it lightly with the tip of the hoe, and a large piece of soil became seven or eight small pieces.

Winter has just passed, and the weather is still warming up with a thick chill, but Li Laohan, who is thinly dressed, is still sweating, and suddenly, he feels something strange behind him, so he turned around, but he was immediately frightened by the scene in front of him.

I saw a large ball appear out of thin air on the ground that had just been loosened from the soil, and the blue light on the ball was constantly glowing with blue light, and the blue light was constantly weakening. As the blue light disappeared, a hole suddenly opened in the ball, and a person dressed in white walked out, the white clothes were very large, and they looked very bloated on the person.

Li Laohan instinctively threw down the hoe and wanted to run, but he was already so frightened that his legs were weak, where could he still run? Seeing the man in white looking at him, he knelt on the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed.

Chen Ke glanced at Li Laohan who was kneeling on the ground, and smiled bitterly while taking off his white protective suit. Although he also fell from the sky and appeared out of thin air, he was far from the immortals with long hair and shawls and fluttering clothes in the minds of the ancients, and most of these simple peasants who had dealt with the land all their lives would regard themselves as monsters.

He threw the protective suit he had taken off into the cabin, and took out a large backpack from the cabin, although the backpack contained one hundred and eight kilograms of items, but the backpack itself had a small anti-gravity device, as long as the switch was turned on, it could cancel out most of the gravity.

Chen Ke pressed the self-destruct switch of the cabin, and at the same time took out the output and input integrated Bluetooth headset and voice changer from the backpack, the so-called output and input integrated Bluetooth headset, that is, the headset can be used as both an earpiece and a microphone, and the Bluetooth headset and voice changer are connected to the mobile phone on his body, which can make Chen Ke easily understand and speak dialects around the world.

He turned his back to Li Laohan, stuffed the earphones into his left ear, and inserted the voice changer behind his teeth. By the time this was done, the self-destruct procedure for the entire cabin had been initiated, and after a few alarms, it vanished without a trace.

Li Laohan saw that this person who came out of thin air did not pay attention to himself, and had just calmed down, when he suddenly heard a rapid and piercing siren, and immediately continued to kowtow in fright, and kept shouting "spare your life" in his mouth.

The Bluetooth headset connected to the mobile phone translation software immediately translated Li Laohan's strong Hangzhou dialect into Mandarin, and through the processing of the voice changer, Chen Ke's Mandarin also became a pure Hangzhou dialect: "Old man, get up quickly." ”

Li Laohan refused to get up, or didn't dare to get up, Chen Ke had no choice but to put his hand on the old man's arm, help him up, and pat the dirt on his pants. He was not accustomed to talking on his own, while others knelt on the ground and listened.

The ground that had just been hoeed was very soft, Li Laohan stood on it tremblingly, and almost fell, Chen Ke hurriedly reached out to hold him, this time he didn't dare to let go, if something happened to the old man, his responsibility was not small.

Li Laohan mustered up the courage to raise his head, and saw that although the young man who was holding him had short hair and was dressed in strange clothes, his facial features were no different from ordinary people, and he spoke the authentic Hangzhou dialect, and his face was kind, without any fierce intentions, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Ke saw that the old man's mood gradually stabilized, so he said: "Old man, don't be afraid, I came from far away and want to ask you something." ”

Although Li Laohan had a stomach full of questions, he didn't dare to ask at this time, and when he heard that Chen Ke wanted to inquire about some things, he hurriedly agreed: "You ask, you ask." ”

Chen Ke thought to himself, instead of hiding around the corner, it is better to ask for the information he needs generously. Then he said, "Old man, what kind of place is this?" What dynasty is it now? What year is it again? ”

Li Laohan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "It's just a matter of asking the place, why do you still ask what year it is." Is it true that this man came down from heaven and came out of the earth? Although he was surprised, Li Laohan still had to answer questions: "This is Lijiapo, over that mountain beam, it is Yuanjialing, from Yuanjialing to the south, it is Hangzhou City." As for which dynasty it is now, counting it, this year is already the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. ”

Chen Ke nodded, Chongzhen fifteen years, in two more years, Li Zicheng will break through Beijing City, and after another year, the war will spread to Zhejiang. He sighed slightly in his heart, the war was coming, and he didn't have much time left. As soon as the flames of war are ignited, everything will serve the war, and if you can't quickly accumulate enough capital in the past three years, you will be passive when the war comes.

However, this is all something to be considered in the future, and the top priority is to find a place to stay, and no matter how big it is, it will be said tonight. Chen Ke looked up at the sky, the sunset on the horizon had sunk a little in the west, and if it was a little later, it would be dark, so he could only go to Li Laohan's house for one night tonight, and then rush to Hangzhou City tomorrow.

Why do you have to go to Li Laohan's house to spend the night? Because Chen Ke didn't want others to see his current appearance, but Li Laohan happened to meet him, and there was nothing he could do. Chen Ke made up his mind that even if Li Laohan's house was surrounded by walls and there was not even a bed, he would spend the night in the firewood room.

"Old man, you see that it is getting late, and the place where I live tonight has not yet been settled, I want to go to your place for a night, I don't know if it is convenient or not?"

"Well...... I am good at saying it, old man, but I am afraid that the old woman in my family will not agree. Li Laohan looked at Chen Ke's almost bare head, a little reluctant.

"In that case, let's go back first, ask the opinion of the person in your family before making a decision, old man, what do you think?" Chen Ke showed a smile that he thought was charming.

In the end, Li Laohan is a farmer who can only deal with the land, where is the opponent of the cheeky Chen Ke, so he had no choice but to pick up the hoe and lead Chen Ke to the way home.

The two walked downstream along the stream, and there were no other plants in the fields on either side of the creek except for a few dog-tailed grasses that shook in the wind. Chen Ke remembered that when he was a child, he passed through the countryside, and the fields in early spring were by no means as bleak as they are now, either planted with grass seeds or rapeseed. The so-called grass seeds are milk vetch, which blooms just in time this season, and the endless sea of purple flowers. When the milk vetch is in full bloom, the rape flowers are also blooming, and they are golden in patches.

Chen Ke said his doubts, Li Laohan sighed and said: "Over the years, it has been either a flood, a drought, or a locust plague. I can't run like an old man, so I have to stay here, and I can't hold it one day, and I don't know if anyone will collect the body. ”

Li Laohan paused and continued: "There was a big flood in May last year, and the crops were flooded a lot, and finally when the big water was gone, there was a drought in June, and in less than half a month, there was another locust plague, and I worked hard for more than half a year, and finally even lost my seeds. This man has nothing to eat, and there is a grass in the ground, so he must rush to pull it home and cook it. That is, you will ask in your heart, these people from ten miles and eight towns have long been surprised. ”

Chen Ke nodded with a heavy expression, although he knew that the last years of the Ming Dynasty were in the "Xiaoice River Period" in the climate, and natural disasters were frequent, but he did not expect it to be so serious. If you can't even eat enough, what development is there to talk about? It seems that his road to crossing is destined to be a bumpy road.

After walking along the creek for a while, a small wooden house appeared in Chen Ke's field of vision, and Li Laohan pointed to the wooden house and said, "That's the old man's home." ”

The two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the cabin.
