Chapter 1: A Big Rock

In June, at noon, the sun is shining, and a few wisps of white clouds wander aimlessly in the sky. Sunlight escapes from the verdant leaves to the ground, falling on flowers, dirt, and gravel. The most tested was a boulder at the top of the mountain, where the trees were thick, but there was no grass around the boulder, and wisps of heat rose from the boulder, distorting the air.

Zhang Guanghua was carefully looking at the three-meter-square big stone under his feet at this time, and after reaching the top of the mountain, he found that it was a little strange, this was an earthen mountain, but a huge stone suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain, which was extremely abrupt. When he climbed the boulder, he was even more surprised, standing below you will think that it is strangely shaped, but when you stand in the middle of the stone, you will be surprised to find that it is a symmetrical hexagon.

Zhang Guanghua squatted down and stroked the surface of the stone, frowning.

"A whole boulder, no traces of artificial carving, I don't know the source, the shape is regular......" Zhang Guanghua, who suddenly woke up, stood up with a thigh and took a sip: ", I was deceived, I spent a hundred yuan, and I saw such a broken stone." ”

Clapping his hands, just as he was about to jump, he found himself suddenly plunged into darkness! It's like a sudden power outage in a room at night, like a sudden black screen in a lively movie theater, and this unsuspecting change startles him.

He leaned over and touched the ground, well, he was still on the stone. I pinched my hand, it hurt! I was indeed awake, not fainting or hanging up due to a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. He stretched out his finger and dipped some saliva on his tongue, raised it to feel the direction of the wind, well, there was wind, no dust, and it wasn't a volcano that suddenly erupted to cover the sky. He looked up again, could it be a solar eclipse? But there is no outline of the halo in the sky.

No, there are stars, there are stars in the sky! Looking further down, the stars converge into a brilliant Milky Way, and a crescent moon hangs to the east of the Milky Way. In fact, when the darkness suddenly fell, Zhang Guanghua also raised his head and saw only darkness, but when he slowly adapted to the darkness, he immediately saw this beautiful scene, but now he has no mood to appreciate it at all.

Astound! If Zhang Guanghua was still rational before, he was completely panicked now! A fear that was beyond his comprehension swept over him. He took out his mobile phone tremblingly, yes, it was two o'clock in the afternoon at 14:04, and it was still noon in the summer. He looked at the moon again, a crescent moon, the first quarter to be exact, with its face facing west, and now it was hanging east of the sky—now more like it was in the first half of the night than at noon.

There was no signal on the phone, no wireless network could be found, and no radio station could be received, and Zhang Guanghua, who was in a state of confusion, was at a loss. He took out the earbuds from his backpack and plugged them in, searched the radio three times in a row, but found nothing, to be precise, there was no noise on the radio, as if it was ...... It was as if there were no electromagnetic waves in the sky at all, so pure and immaculate, dead silent.

Stepping on the stone of the evil gate under his feet, Zhang Guanghua desperately wanted to go back. He turned up his flashlight and jumped down the same path, obviously it was a flat path before, but when he jumped, his feet were empty, and he didn't have time to stabilize his body, so he rolled down the mountain with his backpack.

……

Just about to fall asleep, Huang Cuixin suddenly heard a strange sound in the back mountain. Lighting the fuel lamp and pushing the door open, she saw that her neighbors were also looking left and right by the door, apparently they had also noticed something unusual. Huang Cuixin didn't know if it had anything to do with her man, she felt that she should go up the mountain to have a look. Calling the neighbors with a torch, she successfully found Zhang Guanghua curled up in a ball with blood on her face under the tree, and she was silently relieved to see that it was not her own man.

Bringing the torch closer, she realized that it was a "monk", but it was a little strange that this monk did not have a scar, and his hair was not completely shaved, and there was still a little. He was also dressed strangely, his shirt had no placket, not even sleeves, so how did this kind of clothing be worn on his body? Thinking of this, Huang Cuixin reached out and pulled Zhang Guanghua's T-shirt, and was very puzzled.

The pants are normal, they seem to be blue, but because they have been worn for a long time, many places have turned white, and the burden on the back is also very strange, not on the shoulder, but with two straps tied to the shoulder. Huang Cuixin was not interested in Zhang Guanghua's newly bought jeans at all, but felt that the burden was of good texture. Looking at Zhang Guanghua's injuries, she untied Zhang Guanghua's backpack and let him lie flat on the ground to rest.

Although Zhang Guanghua dressed in a different way, Huang Cuixin did not feel abrupt, not far from the city of Quanzhou lived many Arabs, Persians and people from the Western Regions, and their attire was also very different from that of the Han Chinese.

Huang Cuixin asked the people around her to help hold the torch, carefully checked Zhang Guanghua's injuries, and found that he was not in serious trouble except for bleeding a little and fainting, his limbs were intact, and his breathing was very stable, so he was relieved. However, his fair skin and long figure that are a head taller than those in the village still make Huang Cuixin secretly surprised.

figured out the situation, but trouble also followed, the surrounding villagers came just to watch the excitement, no one was willing to get such a stranger who didn't know the root to go home, there was no way, Huang Cuixin had to settle Zhang Guanghua in his own home.

……

In a daze, Zhang Guanghua had a dream, one would be galloping with his roommates on the court, one would be spending ** with his girlfriend in the dormitory, and the other would be crazy to update the novel. Suddenly woke up, Zhang Guanghua couldn't help but laugh at himself a little, he was still thinking about college after graduating for more than a year, he was really a person who didn't grow up. There's nothing to say about falling out of love after graduation, and six or seven out of ten college lovers also end up like this, but his dignified graduates of the Department of Electronics have been reduced to living on dozens of dollars a day for a living, but it is indeed a bit of a wretch.

Reaching out to the head of the bed and touching the phone, Zhang Guanghua suddenly felt that something was wrong, opened his eyes, and found that this was not his room, the room was slightly dim, swaying with orange light, and from the point of view, he should be lying on the bed.

Turning his head to look to the side again, Zhang Guanghua found a woman sitting next to the bed, who was looking at him with a towel in her hand.

"You're awake! You fell down on the hill behind my house an hour ago, and I and a few other fellow villagers carried you back. The woman seemed a little surprised to see Zhang Guanghua wake up, and said in a stunned moment.

Zhang Guanghua sat up and looked at her carefully, she had long black hair, two strands of hair next to her ears were tied into cute braids, and two delicate earrings on her earlobes swayed gently with the sound of talking. The light was too dim to see her face, but judging from her figure, she was a gentle woman, and she should only be in her twenties. The clothes on her body are diagonal Hanfu with wide sleeves, quite like the gentle ancient beauties on TV. And the authentic Hokkien language she just spoke added an ancient rhyme to her.

Zhang Guanghua turned his head to look carefully at the room he was in, and he was sure that he had never seen this kind of layout. The roof is made of gray-black tiles, under which are several wooden beams. The walls around are made of wooden planks, although they are solid wood, but they are not luxurious, but the color is gray and dilapidated. Under the wooden wall is a wooden door with a wooden bolt and a high threshold under the door. I slept on a relatively tall wooden bed, which seemed to be a little elastic, and the four corners of the bed were lined with wooden sticks, but there was no mosquito net. There was a simple wooden cabinet next to the bed, and an oil lamp was lit on the cabinet, and the light swayed gently with the breeze, illuminating the floor bright and dark. The floor is not very flat, but it can be seen to be clean.

All this made Zhang Guanghua very puzzled, now even the countryside should be a two-story small western-style building, how can there be such a poor place? Where is this? remembered that he had fallen down the mountain inexplicably before, and the trouble in his heart was even stronger.

"Thank you for this beauty, you saved me, I really don't know how to thank you." Because he is from Quanzhou and speaks Hokkien fluently, Zhang Guanghua thanked the women around him first.

The woman pursed her lips and laughed, seemingly slightly shy, and didn't care that he hadn't spoken in time just now.

Zhang Guanghua was a little embarrassed, it was a great favor for others to save him, and he just said nothing. But the most important thing now should be to figure out the situation, and the rest will not be taken care of for now, so he organized the language and asked, "What is this place?" ”

"This is Zhongxing Village." The woman replied. Seeing Zhang Guanghua's dazed face, she added: "This is Zhongxing Village, Shangqing Township, Anxi County, my name is Huang Cuixin, and my man's name is Li Da." I saw you faint in the back hill before, so I carried you back. ”

"Anxi County?" Zhang Guanghua was puzzled, because it was close to Quanzhou, he was indeed playing in Anxi today, and the place where he fell was in Zhongjian Mountain, not far from Qingshuiyan Temple, but Anxi was not like this.

So he asked, "Is there still such a poor place in China now?" Don't have electric lights yet? He pointed to the oil lamp. And your clothes, this is an ancient style, right? After speaking, he looked at Huang Cuixin again.

Hearing this, Huang Cuixin's mouth opened wide in surprise, and she looked incredulous: "China? What country is that? This is Dayuan, and I've heard of Ryukyu, Goryeo, and the Ottomans and Arabs of the Semu people, but I haven't heard of China. ”

This time it was Zhang Guanghua's turn to be surprised: "Da Yuan, Yuan Dynasty? This is the Yuan Dynasty? How could this be the Yuan Dynasty? Zhang Guanghua looked incredulous, thinking that the woman in front of him was joking with him.

Struggling to get out of bed, Zhang Guanghua ignored the dissuasion, and came to the top of Zhongjian Mountain again with a torch, when he didn't see the expected highway, didn't see the town, and didn't see the previous tourist camp, he had to believe a little in his heart.

"Did I cross over?" Zhang Guanghua did not have a trace of surprise in his heart, but felt a little fear, a fear of the unknown.
