Chapter 4 The Great Week

Since being in the wilderness, Zhao Qing has rarely had a good night's sleep, sleepy-eyed propped up from the sleeping bag, and found that there are busy people around, although the whole camp is shrouded in a depressing atmosphere, but Zhao Qing feels a lot more steady, people are always social creatures.

Shirley was extremely reluctantly carried out of her sleeping bag by Zhao Qing, barking like a kitten, attracting the attention of many children around.

Packing up the sleeping bag, Zhao Qing subconsciously went to look for his down jacket, and after looking for a while, he remembered that he had lent it to the frail old man last night. Picked up a handful of snow and rubbed his face roughly, this is a habit he has developed since the day of snow, very sober, and then a cold wind blew, and Zhao Qing suddenly felt a shiver.

"Do you want your clothes back?" Zhao Qing, who was only wearing two knitted sweaters, muttered in his heart, but he was embarrassed to pull down that face, looking at the homeless people around him, although they were not covered with clothes, they were all wearing tattered clothes, and he was already a lot better.

"Hey, Zhao Gongzi, come over and roast the fire!"

Zhao Qing looked back for the source of the enthusiastic voice, but found that it was the three young men who were in charge of guarding him, and at this moment they were next to a bonfire behind the big tree, and they were cooking something in a pot, roasting their frozen bodies by the way.

Zhao Qing was not polite, and sat down opposite them, filling his iron kettle with snow and heating it on the side.

"Zhao Gongzi, thank you so much last night, I Chen Tao'er haven't eaten meat for a long time, alas, it's all to blame on those barbarians who suffered a thousand knives." The young man at the head had a simple face, and he didn't have the vigilance of yesterday at all, and the other two young men also praised the deliciousness of last night's mutton, obviously Zhao Qing's little mutton had successfully bought him.

Zhao Qing added a few sticks of firewood and said with a smile: "Just call me Zhao Qing, I haven't been a son for a few days, I've been staying in the mountains, it sounds weird and uncomfortable." ”

There were some grain-like things boiling in the pot, and they were so thick that they didn't seem to have any appetite at all, but Chen Tao'er didn't care, and while scooping up a spoonful with a spoon and pouring it into his porcelain bowl, he asked with some curiosity: "Could it be that you really have been living in the mountains with that worldly master?" ”

"Of course." Zhao leaned in, but after just a sniff, he made up his mind not to try the mush, took out a compressed biscuit from his backpack, ate it dryly, and drank some warm snow water.

"Are you mountain people dressed so strangely, what do those worldly masters look like, can they really soar through the clouds?" Chen Tao'er continued to ask, there are not many disciples of masters outside the world.

"How can there be, isn't it still a head, two arms and two legs, soaring clouds and fog, that's a fairy, my master is not a fairy, just an old man." Zhao smiled disdainfully, although he crossed over, he was the most staunch atheist.

A few young people asked me one by one about Zhao Qing's anecdotes about the mountains, and Zhao Qing answered patiently in order to have a good relationship with them, and at the same time cut some of the remaining lamb leg meat for Shirley, and fed it while roasting.

Zhao Qing has a cheerful personality and is proficient in the meat jokes of various eras, and it is easy to get along with these peers, and they soon get along as brothers.

"Really big bears in the north? Still covered in snow-white? How much is that skin worth! Chen Tao'er looked at Zhao Qing eagerly, his family was born in Orion, and of course he was full of interest in these.

"Hehe, don't think about your body, the big white bear can slap you to death." Zhao Qing hit him mercilessly.

"Hmph, what's the big bear is, when I return to my home in Youzhou, ask Master Xiong to help me get a fire hunting gun, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to hunt the big white bear? I'm afraid the bear isn't big enough! At that time, I, Chen Tao'er, will put on the skin of a big white bear and go to find the mysterious and supreme frozen throne! Chen Taoer said with a bullish face, completely forgetting her current situation.

The other two young men were a little away from Chen Tao'er with a disgusted expression, but Zhao Qing squirted out a mouthful of water, coughed several times in a row, and then asked hoarsely, "What are you talking about?" The Frozen Throne? Where did you hear this? He simply set off a storm in his heart, could it be that there were also Warcraft players in ancient times? Wait, this young man seems to be saying that he wants to find it himself, could it be that the Frozen Throne has a legend in ancient China?

"Of course, it's the Frozen Throne that Wan Sanye said, located in the extreme north, according to legend, whoever can ascend to the Frozen Throne will be able to dominate the world!" Chen Tao'er's face was completely caught in his own fantasy, and the other two young people moved a little further away.

"Wan Sanye, Shen Wansan?" Zhao Qing subconsciously said a person's name, and sure enough, his guess was good, he had traveled to the Ming Dynasty.

When Chen Tao'er heard Zhao Qing say that name, her eyes lit up, revealing a sense of worship, just like an active educated youth when he heard Grandpa Mao's name, and said: "Wan Sanye is really powerful, even you who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests have heard of it. ”

"So it's really the Ming Dynasty, which is the current emperor, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di? Or Zhu Yuanzhang? Zhao Qing asked tentatively, like a recluse who had not heard of the world for a long time, even if the two of them had been dead for more than a hundred years now, he could deal with the past vaguely.

"What Ming Chengzu, what is the pig? Now it's the Great Zhou, and the emperor is of course Xizong Chai Kang. Chen Tao'er looked at Zhao Qing with disgust, and then remembered that this soil bun had been hiding in the mountains and had never seen the market, so she quickly patted Zhao Qing's shoulder to show her understanding.

"Da Zhou?" Zhao Qing was completely shocked at this time, it seems that there is only one Great Zhou in Chinese history, could it be that he has traveled to that barbaric era three thousand years ago?

But soon, this speculation was denied by Zhao Qing, the words on the sheepskin scroll were written in regular letters, which only appeared at the end of the Han Dynasty and spread far and wide, and it was impossible to appear in the era of the Zhou Dynasty, and the emperor was also a title that appeared after Qin Shi Huang, and the Zhou Dynasty would be called Zhou Tianzi.

Zhao Qing's mind was running rapidly, he was a science student, and he had little historical knowledge, and finally after going through the five thousand years of history of China, he locked an era through the keywords of Emperor Chai and the country name Zhou, but after getting the answer, his heart was even more confused.

There is only one era that conforms to all this, and that is the Later Zhou at the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the monarch is the famous emperor, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong. However, this dynasty was very short-lived, Sejong died of illness at the age of thirty-nine, and then the Chenqiao Mutiny, Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe was added, and the Great Song Dynasty was founded.

Is this Zhou Xizong Chai Rong's orphan? Zhao Kuangyin is going to usurp the throne soon? This speculation is even more absurd, at that time, the Later Zhou Dynasty was only a corner of the army, and the place in Liaodong in western Liaoning was still in the hands of another empire at that time, and there was the Great Liao sitting in the north of Yanyun Mobei, so Chen Tao'er The dynasty in their mouth should be the Great Liao, and the emperor is also the lord of Liao.

And what the hell is that Shen Wansan, shouldn't he be either from the Yuan Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Qing felt that his head was about to explode, and he really regretted that he didn't study history well, this time he crossed over, and he didn't even know what era he was in, so he didn't even have the advantage of foresight.

Just when Zhao Qing was about to go crazy, Xiong Ye appeared, and when he saw Zhao Qing, he hurriedly walked over with a smile on his face.

"Zhao Gongzi, thanks to your blessing, the old ancestor has finally subsided his fever, and the great grace is above, and Zhao Gongzi is worshiped by Chen Xiong." As he spoke, he made an exaggerated prostration. The high fever of the old ancestor really magically subsided in the second half of the night last night, which made Xiong Ye overjoyed, and he no longer doubted Zhao Qing's identity.

Zhao Qing came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly helped Xiong Ye up, and said, "Why should Xiong Ye be like this, I have to thank Xiong Ye for taking him in." ”

Xiong Ye found that Zhao Qing's face was not very good, his brows quickly wrinkled into a Sichuan shape, and his eyes were full of fear and glanced at the three young people, who suddenly felt uncomfortable, and quickly stood up, standing trembling and not daring to speak.

"Do you know what kind of character this Zhao Gongzi is, he only saved the life of the old ancestor last night, you dare to suppress it? And did you put Lao Tzu in your eyes! ”

Master Xiong has been accumulating power for a long time, and once it broke out, where could the three young men stand it, they quickly knelt down, and the surrounding homeless people were also affected, and the entire camp was quiet.

Zhao Qing was also startled by Master Xiong's roar, only to see Chen Tao'er and the three of them kneeling on the ground tremblingly, and immediately realized what kind of misunderstanding had happened, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Taoer and the three of them up, and said with a smile: "Master Xiong, you have wronged them, I just heard about the changes in the world, and I couldn't help but feel that things are wrong, so I seem a little depressed, and Master Xiong can't blame them." ”

Zhao Qing finally got along with them, but he didn't want to have an estrangement after this, Chen Taoer and the three looked at Zhao Qing very gratefully.

"Really?"

Xiong Ye's brows stretched slightly, and Chen Taoer and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right, Master Xiong, has the ancestor woken up, I want to see the ancestor and ask about something." Zhao Qing had a bunch of doubts in his heart that needed to be answered, among this group of displaced people, if you want to talk about who has the most knowledge, it must be the old ancestor who has lived for an unknown number of years.

Xiong Ye immediately stretched his brows completely, and said loudly: "Look at my memory, I originally came to ask you to go and review the ancestor's condition, Zhao Gongzi is here." ”

As he spoke, he turned back to the three young men and said, "If you pass the word, you will set off in half an hour, and let the villagers quickly pack up and prepare to hurry." Zhao Gongzi's bags will be sent to the carriage for him in a while. ”

Chen Tao'er and the three of them nodded immediately, and then went down to get busy.

Zhao Qing came to the carriage again, the old ancestor had already woken up, and his spirit seemed to be good, at least with the help of that little girl, he could drink some millet porridge. The bowl of millet porridge was very good in color, and it was obviously the most precious food that this group of displaced people had.

Seeing Zhao Qing coming up, the ancestor drank the bowl of porridge slowly and methodically, and then looked at Zhao Qing with a smile on his face, looking very kind, but his face was still very pale.

"Zhao Qing has seen the old ancestor." Zhao Qing greeted politely.

"Just ask the old man to state Kun, Zhao Gongzi's life-saving grace, the old man is unforgettable." The old man grinned, and there were really few teeth left.

"Senior Chen." Zhao Qing didn't call him by his name after all, and sat down in the carriage.

Shu Kun glanced at Xiong Ye, Xiong Ye arched his hand, and withdrew, and the little girl also handed the neatly folded down jacket to Zhao Qing, and then withdrew from the carriage with her head down, and gently closed the door, leaving only the two of them in the carriage.

"I heard that Zhao Gongzi is a master of the world, who has lived in the mountains for a long time, and is proficient in medical skills, and this time he saved the old man's life." Shu Kun took out the tin foil board that still contained several capsules from his arms, played with it repeatedly in his hand, and looked at Zhao Qing with a playful expression.

Zhao Qing also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, but he didn't reflect anything, just waiting for his next step.

"It's just that the price is a bit big, it's a pity to consume two elixirs for the old man's life, it's a pity!" Shu Kun stroked the tin foil board like a treasure, and there was a sad expression on his face, which could be seen to be really sad.

Zhao Qing was inexplicable for a while, although these medicines are very precious now, but they have long been rotten on the street in modern times, and they are far less than a human life in Zhao Qing's heart, but this old man was finally rescued, why is he not grateful that he can eat this elixir, but it seems so painful?

"Senior Chen's words are serious, even if it is really an elixir, if it can't save the life and help the wounded, it is meaningless, it saves the life of the senior, this medicine only shows its value, how can it be a pity." Zhao Qingman didn't care, he was thinking about how to open his mouth and ask some about the situation in this era.

Shu Kun stared at Zhao Qing directly, his eyes narrowed slightly, making Zhao Qing feel uncomfortable.

This old man can't be burned out of his brain, Zhao Qing muttered in his heart, Shu Kun's eyes squinted, but he closed them completely.

"But I don't know the name of the Lingshi, if the old man expects it to be good, this elixir must be from the hands of the Lingshi, the person who can refine this medicine must not be an unknown person, maybe the old man has heard of it." Shu Kun opened his eyes again and said with a smile.

"Master's famous masterpiece is Xiaoyaozi."

Zhao Qing had already considered any detail of this identity he had compiled, and of course he would not show his feet if he was prepared.

Shu Kun stared at Zhao lightly for a long time, but couldn't see anything wrong from this young man's face, nodded slightly, a hint of expectation appeared in his eyes, and said, "Xiaoyaozi? The old man has seen the ugliness, but he has never heard of the name of the Lingshi, but he doesn't know which mountain gate your master and apprentice come from, and are there any other disciples? ”

Living to the age of Shu Kun, he has long seen through the world, and the only thing that can make him tempted is those ethereal hidden legends, and now there is a hidden person with a panacea that can cure all kinds of diseases in front of his eyes, how can he not arouse his curiosity. He lived a handful of years, and knew his body very well, in his opinion, yesterday's illness, he should have been killed, but the medicine pulled him back from the brink of death, not a panacea, what is it.

I don't know what the name of the place where I live, but I know that it is a remote valley outside the Saiwai, and it is shrouded in fog all the year round, and the next time I go out of the mountain, I can no longer find my way back. As for the other disciples, they have never seen it, and only Shizun and Zai live in the valley. Zhao Qing's words are not leaky, and the possibility of them going to explore the root cause is cut off.

Shu Kun sighed regretfully, raised his eyebrows again, and said, "Then the preparation method of this elixir, has Master Ling taught you?" ”

Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "In the next talent, this medicine is a way, but you can't learn one-tenth of the master, and the ingredients of this medicine are complex, and many medicinal materials are very rare in the outside world, only in that valley, I know some prescriptions, and there are no medicinal materials." ”

Shu Kun's raised brows lowered again, and he kept sighing: "It's the old man who thinks too much, how can such a panacea be circulated in the world, the old man's illness has been cured, this medicine will naturally be returned, and please ask Zhao Gongzi to take it." ”

As he spoke, he trembled and handed the tin foil board to Zhao Qing. Zhao Qing took it unceremoniously, he had planned to come back with this medicine, he was alone, or in this ancient time with backward medical conditions, it was difficult to guarantee that a minor illness like a cold and fever would not be fatal, but he valued his life more than anything else.

After taking the medicine, Zhao Qing felt that the old man should finish chattering, so he cleared his throat, ready to ask himself a question that had been brewing for a long time

"Senior Chen, the younger generation grew up in the closed valley since childhood, the master only taught the knowledge under the Xia, but never talked about the outside world in the Xia, in addition to knowing some about his father and Huanhe County, he didn't know anything about the current world, and he didn't even know which dynasty and which generation, I don't know if the Chen seniors could tell the good students in the Xia."

After hearing some differences, this polite young man didn't even know which dynasty and generation he was now, but thinking about his background, he was relieved, and he stroked his beard at the moment and said: "That's natural, although the old man is not talented, but he still has some knowledge." Since Zhao Gongzi wanted to know, he listened to the old man's narration. ”

It was a lot noisy outside, and after the only horse left in the camp neighed a few times, Zhao Qing felt the carriage move, and the little girl gently opened the door of the carriage and put Zhao Qing's bag up with the help of several women.

The homeless people began to pull out the camp, and Zhao Qing, who was supposed to walk with the homeless people below, was now sitting comfortably in the carriage listening to the old man's story. eb
