Chapter 2 The Qing Dynasty in 1910

After exclaiming, Li Zhigao also calmed down, and felt that since this was already the case, it was better to believe in the ring again, believing that after the twenty-four hours of freezing, he could travel back again.

As for now, well, although the surroundings look like a strange wilderness, but I can breathe freely, and there is nothing wrong with gravity when I walk and jump, although the sky is a little gloomy, but through the clouds that are not too thick, I can see that there is only one sun, and the temperature is a little low, a bit like early winter or early spring, so I can still accept it, so I won't freeze to death immediately...... In short, it should still be on Earth, not like it is in some strange other world.

Since there seemed to be no major danger for the time being, and he had found a simple sheep intestine path in front of him, Li Zhigao did not continue to stay, and began to walk along the path without stopping, deciding to explore this unknown world before the door of time and space was reopened.

The road is a little difficult to walk, the environment is not known at all, plus the mobile phone has no signal at all, GPS is useless at all, he is completely lost, so he is just walking around.

After walking like this for about an hour and a half, just when Li Zhigao was about to stop and rest, he suddenly noticed a person walking in front of him.

When the man approached, he took a closer look and found that it was a middle-aged man who was one meter tall and in his early sixties, stocky, wearing a gray horse coat, wearing a big hat on his head, dragging a big braid behind him, and carrying a big burden on his body. ”

Definitely, looking at it like this, it looks like the legendary sellers in the old society who walked the streets and alleys and walked in the rural towns.

He could see the other party, and the other party could see him, and after discovering Li Zhigao, the vendor was also stunned for a moment, and seemed to feel very strange about Li Zhigao's dress.

Out of caution, he just frowned slightly, lightly filled his steps, and subconsciously touched the short knife hanging on his waist with his right hand, but after seeing that Li Zhigao did not move, he continued to speed up his pace and walked forward, without making any more movements, as for things like greetings, there was no such thing as saying hello at all.

This time, Li Zhigao was energetic again, and just when the two sides were about to carefully stagger on the trail, he suddenly took the initiative to greet him with a smile.

Li Zhigao still remembers that his second uncle once told him repeatedly that a smile is a lubricant for dealing with people, and when you walk in society in the future, whether you know each other or not, whether you are familiar or not, as long as you greet him with a smile first, it will not be too bad.

Sure enough, after seeing Li Zhigao greeting him with a smile on his face, although the other party was still a little vigilant, he finally stopped, and after hearing Li Zhigao say that he was lost, he just wanted to ask for directions, and he was even more relaxed.

Of course, it may also be that he thinks that Li Zhigao has no long things, and in the not thick sportswear, it doesn't look like he is hiding a weapon, and although Li Zhigao's one-meter-eight height is much taller than him, he has fine skin and tender flesh, and his steps are vain, and he really fights, and the seller feels that he doesn't need the wrist knife on his waist, and he can put down this strangely dressed guy with just a few breaths of short kung fu.

Anyway, after a cautious and friendly exchange, Li Zhigao finally learned a little about this world from the mouth of this merchant.

It turned out that the place he traveled through was really the earth, but the time was wrong, it was the Qing Dynasty in the past, or rather, the Qing Dynasty in parallel time and space.

Specifically, today's Qing Dynasty is the fourth day of March in the second year of Xuantong, and I silently calculate in my heart, the second year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty, it should be 1910, hey, if everything is normal, there will be another year when the Wuchang Uprising will begin, and the Manchu Dynasty will be finished soon.

As for the location, this is the boundary of Dangtu County, Taiping Prefecture, continue to walk along this path, walk for about half an hour, you can get to the official road, and then, walk south along the official road for three hours, you can go to Dangtu County, if you want to rest early, you can first walk north for about less than half an hour, you can go to the inn to rest, and then hire a carriage there, it is convenient to go anywhere.

After the other party said this, he planned to leave by himself, Li Zhigao saw it, and immediately blocked the other party's way again.

Just kidding, what the other party said seemed to be quite clear, but Li Zhigao didn't understand it at all, and even if he did, he didn't want to go alone. This is a wilderness, or the wilderness of the ancient Qing Dynasty, even if there are no common products such as beasts and bandits, it is easy to get lost when you walk around, in case something happens...... In short, it is definitely better to have a local acquaintance to take you with you than to go by yourself as an outsider.

For Li Zhigao's request, the other party refused at the beginning, first saying that it was not going way, and then saying that it was inconvenient for him to go home in a hurry, and finally explained in detail how to go, in short, he didn't want to take him away.

In this regard, Li Zhigao also understands, after all, early in the morning, when he meets such a strange stranger in this wilderness, normal people will be wary, and it is already very good that the other party can talk so much to himself.

In this way, after Li Zhigao blocked the road several times, and said with a sad face that he was lost, and he was afraid of danger if he left, so he asked him to take him out, and there would be retribution at that time, the merchant sighed and said something else: "This queen ...... No, sir, seeing that you are also a good man, I will tell you the truth, I wonder if you would like to hear it? ”

"Oh? Big brother, please speak. Li Zhigao hurriedly arched his hand and said, "As long as you can take me out of here, the kid will listen." ”

"How dare you." The middle-aged merchant hurriedly nodded and bowed in return, and then said, "Sir, although I don't know why you are lost here alone, you are a noble person at first glance, which cannot be wrong...... In addition, the reason why I didn't take you away was not only because I was in a hurry to go home, but also because of your dress. ”

"Dressed?" Li Zhigao looked at his sportswear, thinking that it was indeed a little weird compared to people of this era, "Is it because of the strange clothes you wear?" ”

"It doesn't matter what you wear, the key is braids." The merchant shook his head, then looked carefully left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "Sir, the imperial court has recently arrested the revolutionary party on a large scale, and for those who shaved their heads without permission, there are even more mistakes. You don't have braids on your head, and it's good to meet me, but if you go out with me like this, if you are seen by those patrolling police, they will definitely arrest you and go back to receive the reward. ”

"Oh...... I see, it's a big problem. Li Zhigao nodded and arched his hand to the merchant again, "Thank you for reminding me." ”

"Where, where." The merchant arched his hand, and was about to continue to pick up the burden and leave, but soon he stopped again, took out a gray and black fake braid and a gray cloth robe with many patches from a wooden box, and said to Li Zhigao with a smile, "Look at my surname, it's a coincidence, you see, I just have a pair of fake braids left, and a set of old clothes, if you want, take all the oceans, how about it?" ”
