Chapter 4, Climbing Out of the "Pit of Death"

"Because I want to be a man with 'six haves' -- money, a car, a house, power, and a girlfriend, I can't die."

Lu Zhan made up his mind, turned his head to look at Kong Wu and the others, who seemed to be dying, and asked, "May I ask where and when is this?" What did you do to get locked up here? ”

"God will kill us." "Could it be that this pit is our burial place?" "We don't want to die, God, save us." "We are all ordinary people who have never done anything bad, why did we end up like this? ”……

Kong Wu and the others didn't seem to hear Lu Zhan's question, but just looked up to the sky and shouted with a sad and angry expression, hoping that God would open his eyes and save them from danger.

Lu Zhan frowned, thinking that they were drilling wood to make fire, so he couldn't help but reach into his trouser pocket and touch it, and actually found a lighter and half a pack of cigarettes - he didn't smoke, but in order to carry out the work more smoothly, he had fireworks on him.

After being struck by lightning, the notebook full of market research data disappeared with the two major Jin Yong martial arts novels bought, but the lighter and cigarettes were still on his body, and there were also a few red flags - RMB.

Holding the lighter, he bent down and grabbed a handful of straw in his hand, lit it with the lighter, and then said to Kong Wu and them: "Look, what is this? ”

"Fire? How did you get it? Do you drill wood to make fire? ”

The five asked in surprise almost in unison, and then ecstatic expressions appeared on their faces.

"Yes, I'll drill wood for fire."

Lu Zhan was also not humble.

"How did you do that, and why didn't you see you drilling? Do you have flint and steel on you? ”

"Ah, we're saved this time."

"Could it be that he was sent from heaven to save us?"

"Damn, I just made a rude speech to him, he should be beaten."

……

In the face of their extreme excitement, Lu Zhan was very calm, his gaze swept over them lightly, and finally fixed on Kong Wu-this guy seemed to have some prestige among several people--and repeated the question just now.

"This is Heping County, and now it is probably a moment in the future, we are all arrested by Liu Thief, the county order that should be cut by a thousand knives, because we can't afford to pay heavy taxes, and we are locked up here to imitate the ancients to drill wood to make fire, if we don't succeed, we have to, we have to stay here forever, but now it seems that we have been saved."

Kong Wu looked up at the sky and said with some excitement.

"Can you tell me that the big place is the same age?"

"Xiliang, Zhongping in July of the sixth year." Kong Wu looked at Lu Zhan strangely: Why don't you even know this? Did you break your head? But he didn't dare ask.

"Huh? Xiliang? Xiliang under the rule of Dong Zhuo? ”

When Lu Zhan heard this, he immediately felt a top-heavy feeling - he had read history, "Historical Records", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" novels and watched some related TV series, and he was no stranger to the words "Xiliang" and "Zhongping", the sixth year of Zhongping, that is, in 189 A.D., July, according to the novel, at this time, Emperor Ling of Han had passed away for several months, and the prince Liu Wei ascended the throne for the young emperor, and the big fat man Dong Zhuo was about to enter Beijing.

"Shhh, be quiet, how can you call Lord Dong by his name? He also called him ......" Kong Wu looked around in a panic and said with a nervous expression. The others also looked at Lu Zhan like monsters.

In their minds, Dong Zhuo is the king of Xiliang, a tyrant, and an invincible heaven, only he says that he is unbiased, arbitrary, and kills and takes away, who dares to say bad things about him behind him?

"It seems that I have really traveled to the troubled era of the late Han Dynasty, and it is still Xiliang under the rule of the brutal and unkind Dong Zhuo."

Lu Zhan's head was big, and he suddenly felt that his hands were hot, and the straw he was holding in his hand was almost burned. He came back to his senses and hurriedly threw it away.

"The most important thing now is to save your life, and the most urgent thing is to get out of this big pit, and the rest is easy to say." Lu Zhan took a few deep breaths and sorted out his complicated thoughts: with his understanding of the Three Kingdoms, it is not difficult to have a foothold in this troubled world.

Thinking of this, he was in a much lighter mood, and immediately said: "Without further ado, let's get out first, and then say, I'll make a fire." Regardless of what they thought, he walked over to the haystack and lit a handful, and then handed it to Kong Wu.

"What's that in your hand?"

Kong Wu took the torch and asked incredulously.

"Let's go out and talk about it."

Lu Zhan had no intention of explaining.

"Well, each of you takes a handful of grass, lights it and makes some smoke, and shouts that you have succeeded in drilling wood for fire. If a soldier outside finds out, he will definitely come and let us out to meet Liu Thief. Kong Wu explained to Li Si, Wang Hu and others, and suddenly turned around and frowned at Lu Zhan and said, "Liu Thief has an explanation first: we must drill wood to make fire, we got the fire source through the things in your hand, how can we pay when we go out?" ”

"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming, let's take a step and see a step, it's better to go out than to stay here."

Lu Zhan waved his hand and said, I haven't thought about this for the time being.

"Alright then, you're right, it's better to go out than stay here."

"Come on, people, we have succeeded in drilling wood to make fire, let us out."

"Take us to meet Lord Liu."

"Master Bing, come quickly."

……

Suddenly, their enthusiasm was high, and they opened their throats and shouted, like thunder.

"Brother, put my clothes on, it's not good for them to see you dressed like this."

Kong Wu's eyes slipped over Lu Zhan, and when he thought of something, he took off his clothes and handed them over. He himself was shirtless, revealing his strong, bronzed muscles.

"Well, okay."

Lu Zhan thought to himself: It's okay, his clothes are too shocking in their eyes, so he took it and put it on his body, which looked a little wide. "Shhh ”

Zhang Shan tore off one of his sleeves and looked at him shyly.

Lu Zhan nodded.

Soon, two young soldiers came, wearing fur hats and leather armor, and they couldn't help but be surprised to see that a few people in the pit had really succeeded in drilling wood to make fire.

"It's a miracle that they did."

"I heard that Lord Liu is angry, so let's let them out and take them to see Lord Liu. When Lord Liu is happy, maybe he will reward us. ”

"Who made Lord Liu angry?"

"It seems that he has too many wives and concubines, and he is a little powerless in that regard."

"Alas, it's a pity that I don't have any wives and concubines."

"Hey, you still want to marry a wife, and have a good baby in the next life. In this life, you may not be able to keep a beautiful daughter-in-law. ”

"Well, don't say it, let them up."

One of them said and dropped a rope as thick as a child's arm—a stake had been driven at the edge of the pit, and a thick hemp rope had been tied to the stake.

Seeing that the rope was thrown down, everyone was ready to try.

"Brother, you go first."

Kong Wu looked at Lu Zhan and said.

Lu Zhan was not polite, grabbed the rope and climbed up, it took more than a minute and a lot of effort to climb up to a pit three feet deep.

When he came out, he looked around, and found that he was in a small plain, and a few miles away at the foot of the mountain there was a city, and the gate was open, and people were entering and leaving.
