Chapter 2: Encounters
Finding that these people could speak Chinese, Xu Zhengze laughed happily, and then unexpectedly frightened the few people on the other side to take a few steps back, which made him quite embarrassed, no matter how he said it, he was also a compatriot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the house is dilapidated, it is a matter of course to be reasonable and polite, and it is a matter of course to give people some money where they live.
In this case, Xu Zhengze couldn't be stingy, he took out his wallet from his pocket, flipped through it for a while, and then unwillingly took out a fifty note, there was really no smaller change.
"Look, I'll pay for fifty dollars, just for one night." Xu Zhengze shook the green banknote at a few people, and the brand-new banknote made a rattling sound, which was by no means a counterfeit product. However, there was no reaction from several people, and Xu Zhengze's face was ugly, and he felt that he had given enough. The temple where he lived yesterday was a sturdy and warm brick house, and these houses, damn it, had rammed earth walls, dilapidated and collapsed billets, leaking air everywhere, thatched roofs, and they were probably swept away when the wind blew, and they were worse than slums.
"Is it too little? So, how about a hundred? I've only stayed in one room with you, and I can live in a hotel at this price, brothers. After laughing awkwardly a few times, Xu Zhengze felt that it was better to be kind, although these people should not be able to beat themselves, but unless they don't sleep, it should be right to have a better relationship.
Still didn't react, Xu Zhengze didn't know what to say, a little annoyed, he walked straight forward, grabbed a person's hand, ignored his cringe and struggled, and forced the money into his hand. At that moment, he felt as if he had grabbed a piece of dry firewood, he really didn't expect that there were such poor places in China, and looking at them, they looked exactly like the people in Africa who were suffering from famine on TV.
"It's money, you can buy things." Xu Zhengze knew that these people could understand, and it seemed that what they spoke was not much different from the dialect of his hometown, and he could still understand it if he spoke a little slowly, so he didn't want to take advantage of these refugees.
"Paper ...... Good paper ...... It's too small...... It's not Qian ......" The man spoke, the person looked very timid with a cower, and he didn't have enough breath in his speech, and his voice was the same as a kitten's humming, but Xu Zhengze still understood. In the eyes of these people, this is paper, of course, better paper, but it is not money, and it cannot buy things.
It's impossible, it shouldn't be, this is still China's territory, when will the yuan stop passing? He can be sure that this is not a port or a bay, and of course it cannot be Macau, so how can it not be a currency? What about funny? What about rebellion?
"You don't have to pay ......" The tone of the interrogative sentence, of course, Xu Zhengze looked ignorant, he didn't understand too much, but these people put the money away, it seems that he can live here, Xu Zhengze smiled and decided to ignore them, at this moment, in his opinion, these people are poor and crazy, and they want to blackmail him for more money, Cao, no way, just this broken place, it cost him a red ticket, Xu Zhengze is in a bad mood anyway, and he has met profiteers in the past two days. I found a house at the entrance of the village that seemed to be in the best condition. He decided to stay here for the night.
From the outside, the walls of this house are basically free of cracks and do not leak from the air. The yard was littered with miscellaneous items and firewood, and I didn't care about it for a while. When he entered the house, there was not even a bed in it, which made Xu Zhengze frown. There was a small window in the wall, wooden lattice, pasted with paper, broken in some places, and the room was very dusty, and it seemed that it had not been cleaned for a long time. There is a thick layer of wheat straw in the corner, and it seems that I can only sleep here at night.
It was cold, Xu Zhengze found a large ceramic basin in the yard, and found some hard wood, so he closed the door and lit a fire.
After resting, Xu Zhengze took out the food in the bag and ate it slowly, there were still three breads, two packets of instant noodles, five or six hams, three eggs, a packet of pots, and a packet of Pingyao beef. That's all his food, and I'm afraid I'll have to rely on them for a few more days. Because he had already noticed that something was wrong, it was unexpectedly poor here, and he didn't know where, and it was likely that he would not be able to find much supply for the next few days.
I wanted to make a bowl of instant noodles, but I didn't even have water, so I had to nibble on bread. After all, this is not a hotel, and even the temple that stayed last night can't compare. At this time, he should be glad that he is usually lazy and unwilling to cook by himself, and he bought a lot of food in one go last night, which is enough for him to eat for a day.
The red brazier burned, and Xu Zhengze's cheeks were red, very warm, and he habitually took out his mobile phone to look at it, but there was still no signal, and it was almost out of power. It's really weird, there's no electricity in this place, what a broken ground, scolded, he didn't want to think about it, he was upset.
Silently gnawed something, then fell asleep leaning on the wheat straw in a daze, I don't know how long, I heard a rumbling sound, like an earthquake, and babbling and shouting, it seems that there are still some animal shouts, Xu Zhengze couldn't sleep well, this time he woke up, subconsciously grabbed the long stick, and listened.
The firewood in the brazier has become charcoal, and it is still burning red, and the house is already about to darken, a little misty, Xu Zhengze carried a backpack and a long stick out of the house, listening to the movement in the yard.
The sun was still shining in the sky outside, but it was about half an hour before it was about to set. There was a rumbling sound outside the village, and some people were shouting, the sound was very high, but it was not clear from a distance, and occasionally a few words could be heard, and I did not know what was being said. And some of Herod's chirping, like horses, or donkeys? Xu Zhengze is also unclear.
Xu Zhengze walked to the door, this house was in the outermost part of the village, and he could see clearly at the door, dozens of people, riding horses, passing by the entrance of the village. Xu Zhengze looked at it in a daze, a little dizzy for a while, he thought this was somewhere in his hometown, that is, in the south of Shanxi, but now it seems that it is Inner Mongolia or something, how can there be horseback riding?
The village is almost like a ghost town, there are few people living in it, and at this time, those people don't know where to hide, and they don't have any popularity at all, so Xu Zhengze, who is wearing a red down jacket, stands at the entrance of the village, watching dozens of knights rumbling out, how conspicuous and conspicuous they are.
The two sides were only two or three hundred meters away, Xu Zhengze saw them, and naturally there were people over there who saw Xu Zhengze, especially when he was wearing such a bag, a group of people turned around and turned to this side.
Subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Xu Zhengze's hands and feet were stiff for a while, and he couldn't move. Dozens of horsemen turned around in unison and trotted over, and the momentum, for Xu Zhengzhi, who had no knowledge, was like an angry wave. He watched as the other side rode out of the crowd and rushed towards him.
Herod, the knight on the horse rushed like a sea, until he rushed to a meter in front of him, only to pull the reins of the horse, the horse suddenly stopped, the front hooves jumped high, the bowl-sized hooves jumped out of a person high, Xu Zheng had no doubt that this beast could trample him to death, but he still didn't move, mainly because he was already scared stupid.
"Daddy, it's a monk, but he dresses so weirdly." Just like a crisp yellow oriole chirping, it was shouted to the people behind him.
Xu Zhengze looked at the person and the horse blankly, so frightened that he peed his pants. Then he noticed something different, the woman was wearing armor, which was not something that modern society has. Oh, no, maybe the actor still wears it.
"Hmph, look for death." Xu Zhengze was looking up and down strangely, the woman's head was whipped from his head, he only subconsciously shifted it, this whip was whipped on his arm, on his head, it was so hot that it didn't hurt.
Then, before he could react, the woman bent down, grabbed him by the collar, laid him across the horse, and turned to run towards the group.
"What are you doing, let me go." At this time, Xu Zhengze's soul returned to him, and in this case, saving his life is fundamental, and what is the use of entangling those clothes that seem to travel through time and space.
Xu Zhengze was tall and strong, and after a lot of struggle, he actually took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and fell off his horse, and he didn't care about anything else, so he ran to the village in a daze - his basic sanity was still there, and it was not so convenient to ride a horse in the village.
Of course, he underestimated the enemy's ability, the woman almost immediately turned the horse's head, rushed, and rushed ahead of him in a few strokes, blocking his way back to the village, Xu Zhengze was unwilling, ran to both sides, always blocked by the woman, he went east, the woman also went east, he went west, the woman also went west, like a cat playing with a mouse, but did not immediately catch and eat.
There was a chaotic laughter not far away, and Xu Zhengze, who was annoyed and angry, yelled loudly and rushed directly towards the woman on the horse, he decided to knock the girl down and rushed over directly.
Reality proved to be a very unwise move at this time, at the moment of engagement, when Xu Zhengze didn't react at all, the woman suddenly held a long thing and pushed it towards his chest, and then Xu Zhengze, who rushed up directly, fell to the ground as if he was sent to the muzzle, curled up in pain, and moaned silently.
It hurts to death, and my ribs seem to be broken! Xu Zhengze lay on the ground without a breath, tears and snot flowed all over the ground.
