Chapter 3: Return to Earth
If you want to conquer a man, you must first conquer his stomach, and this sentence seems to be good for wolves. Tang Ming used his unique cooking skills to completely conquer the three wolves in a few days. There are no longer barriers to communication with each other, especially with Xiaobai.
Xiaobai is the name given by Tang Ming to the white wolf, and one wolf and one person began to call each other brothers and sisters under Tang Ming's unilateral democracy. After a few days of careful care, the injury on Xiaobai's foot has been healed. This made Xiaobai even more fond of him.
Tang Ming has Xiaobai by his side, and he no longer needs to be afraid of any fierce beasts, even if he encounters a tiger under Xiaobai's power, he can only escape with his tail between his legs. At this moment, Tang Ming is on this barren plain, just like a powerful minister above ten thousand people under one person, although he is only afraid of some animals, but this also makes Tang Ming deeply experience the taste of being a powerful minister.
It is a place where no human has set foot, a pristine habitat, and a paradise for animals. There were so many wild horses and bison that Tang Ming couldn't count them at all, and in such a place, he really couldn't think of any place in the country that was similar to this place. If it is said to be the northwest of China, there is no large forest.
And in the past two days, Tang Ming could smell a faint salty smell in the air, and the more he walked forward, the more obvious this smell became, there was no doubt that there must be a sea nearby.
Sure enough, after Tang Ming climbed a hill, what caught his eye was the scene of the blue sky and blue sea connecting together. The worries in my heart for the past two days have also been confirmed at this moment, and the place where I am standing now is an island!
I don't know how far this island is from the mainland, there are definitely no human beings, Tang Ming has not found any clues of human activities at all along the way.
Thinking of all these efforts, I still can't get in touch with humanity in the end, and now I am facing the prospect of spending the rest of my life on this isolated island. When a person dies here alone, Tang Ming has an urge to commit suicide.
"Thief God, is this how you came to play with me Tang Ming? Let me travel back to the ancient desert island, and I will admit it when the wasteland is cleared, but you can't just arrange me alone, no matter how you say it, there are a few more beauties, so that you can reproduce, right? ”
"Xiaobai! In the future, my brother will only rely on you, in your acre and three points of land, follow you to be the king and hegemon, don't forget my brother and me, my brother is now the only one you can rely ......on."
"Xiaobai, but you must remember my brother's ......."
Tang Ming's motivation to keep supporting him to move forward was instantly shattered at this moment, it seemed a little unacceptable, his hand gently stroked Xiao Bai who was lying beside him, and his mouth was chattering in pieces, and the nerves that had been tense for days relaxed at this moment, and after a while, he fell asleep in a daze.
It's so tiring, yes! Tang Ming was too tired. In despair, he has completely unloaded the stone in his heart, and is ready to live on this island alone and boring, lonely.
Just when Tang Ming was in a daze, his ears seemed to hear the sound of a human being intermittently, thinking that he was dreaming, but Tang Ming didn't pay attention to it. But gradually, the voice became clearer and clearer, and when he opened his eyes and looked around, he began to look in the direction of the sound.
The sound came from the sea, intermittently with gusts of sea breeze. Finally, a huge wooden ship appeared in Tang Ming's eyes, followed by one, two and three......
It was dense, and Tang Ming, who was too far away, couldn't count it at all, and he didn't have the heart to count it anymore. I didn't expect to meet ships as soon as I arrived at the beach, and it seemed to be a huge fleet, so I didn't care if the ships at sea were pirates or not, Tang Ming seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and ran to the beach with his butt burned.
Even the cliff that caused him a psychological shadow could not stop his enthusiasm, and he climbed down the rock at a speed that was not much slower than the speed of a monkey.
By the time we reached the bottom of the cliff, the huge fleet of boats had already docked at the seashore, and dozens of small boats filled with large wooden barrels were rowing towards the beach.
When Tang Ming looked out, he clearly saw the bright flags on the huge wooden boat, floating on the main treacherous trunk. There is a big 'Zheng' character in the book. The strong sea breeze blew the flag to hunt, Tang Ming was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, this should be the fleet of Zheng He who went to the Western Ocean during the Yongle period.
Ming Dynasty, I have traveled to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di should be the emperor now during the Yongle period, Yongle is prosperous, fortunately, this period is when the Ming Dynasty is strong, it seems that God still takes care of himself.
At this moment, Tang Ming had forgotten all about scolding the thief just now, watching dozens of small boats gradually approach, but Tang Ming, who was still standing at the bottom of the cliff, began to hesitate, not knowing whether to rush forward, heaven or hell, he was faced with a choice again, and he didn't know whether the road ahead was heaven or hell.
It wasn't until Xiaobai appeared beside him that Tang Ming seemed to have regained his courage and took a big step forward. The boat had already docked, and the boatmen were busy unloading the barrels from the boat, and carrying them to the mouth of the river not far away, where they had come to fetch water.
Tang Ming and Xiao Bai gradually approached the group of boatmen one after the other, and when the two sides met, neither of them took the lead in making a sound, looking at each other silently.
The boatmen were shirtless, revealing their black and shiny skin, and all of them had strong muscles, but unfortunately, I don't know if it was because of their long work at sea, each of them had a very unpleasant face, and seemed to have a little sickly feeling.
Tang Ming looked at them strangely, but the boatmen were not curious when they looked at him, he was dressed in clothes of unknown materials, and he was stunned to become strips of clothes, his long dirty hair was scattered on the back of his head at will, his skin was full of small scratches, and there was a mighty white wolf behind him.
It looked like a wild man living in the mountains, and the boatmen began to take two steps back and distance themselves from Tang Ming, secretly taking a defensive posture. It wasn't so much that the boatmen were guarding against Tang Ming, it was better that they were guarding against Xiaobai, who was already ready to attack behind them.
"Bold monster, dare to take a beast to block our way, I don't know if we are Lord Zheng He's subordinates?" The first bearded man took a step forward, showing a somewhat rusty big knife, pointing directly at Tang Ming in front of him, and there was a possibility of slashing down at any time.
The familiar Central Plains dialect, Tang Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, took a step back and opened a safe distance from the big man, and then said: "This strong man, are you really Lord Zheng He's subordinates?" ”
The big man stood in place, with no sign of putting down the big knife in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "Do you know our Lord Zheng He?" ”
"I don't know, but I've heard of its name for a long time, and I don't mean to deliberately block your way, it's been too long since I've seen the living, and I'm too excited for a while, and I ask for forgiveness for offending a lot." Tang Ming learned to clench his fists and compliment, but he was not used to the tone of speech in ancient times, and he looked a little rusty, and his expression also made people feel a little stiff.
Only then did Dahan put down the knife in his hand, waved his hand and ordered the boatman beside him to hurry up to fetch water, and turned to look at Tang Ming with a curious expression. The clothes he was wearing were made of fabric for some reason, although they were tattered, but he was also a person who had been in contact with overseas countries for many years, and he had seen a lot of strange people and strange things, but he had never seen one like this.
Although the clothes on his body are very tattered, and his whole body is dirty, his skin is very smooth, and his appearance is also handsome, with slender fingers, although he is a little rusty to talk about, but he is still elegant, if you look at his conversation alone, this son is definitely a reader. But I don't know why I ended up on this island.
What makes Dahan even more curious is the big white wolf behind him who has been vigilant against him, looking at his mighty appearance, it is not difficult for Dahan to guess that this is a wolf head, and the number of wolves in this litter will definitely not be less than a hundred. It is really puzzling that such a ferocious spirit beast would follow a child who seems to be powerless?
"The young man has also heard of my father-in-law's name, and he must also be a citizen of my Ming Dynasty, I wonder if you can tell him where his ancestral home is? Why do you live alone on this island? ”
"I've been practicing with my mentor since I was sensible, and I don't know where I was born. More than a month ago, I went to sea with my tutor to find my old friend, but I encountered a sudden storm just three days after I went to sea, and the boat had sunk to the bottom of the sea. ”
Tang Ming paused for a moment, his expression was very worried, and he sighed lightly before continuing: "I don't know if the eldest brother is going back or going overseas this time, can I take the younger brother on a trip to a populated place?" ”
"Hahaha......."
The big man laughed when he heard this, and several wrinkles appeared on his dark face, he should be in his twenties but looked much older than his actual age. Running at sea for many years, the wind, rain and sun make its skin extremely rough.
"Little brother doesn't need to be polite, I am also a descendant of the Ming Dynasty, such a trivial thing as carrying you on a ride is not worth mentioning at all, as long as you are not a widow, we will do our best to help anyone who is in trouble at sea. Hurry up and pack your things, we'll have fresh water in the evening, and you can come aboard with me." ”
"Thank you, big brother!" Tang Ming clenched his hands into fists and thanked him, and returned to the big tree on the cliff along the way he came.
Xiao Bai had been following closely, as if he knew that Tang Ming was about to leave here, his mood was very low, lying on the side and quietly watching him pack up his things, his mouth whispering twice from time to time.
When Tang Ming cleaned up, he noticed Xiaobai. Seeing his depressed appearance, he was also deeply touched for a while, and after getting along during this time, one person and one wolf were inseparable, as if they were good confidants and brothers who had nothing to talk about! At this moment, we are going to separate, and I don't know if we can see each other again in the future.
The four eyes are facing each other, everything is in the words, all the reluctance and all the feelings are silently intersecting at this moment, this is the most direct communication between the heart and the heart, and every touch goes straight to the deepest part of the heart.
