Chapter 2 The Man Who Starved to Death
In front of me is a barren land, there seems to be a small forest not far away, the light is very bright, it should be daytime, there seems to be something moving under the shade of the trees, Wu Wei adjusted the video head to aim there, and used the mouse to control the focal length to zoom in, it is a person! The man's face was not clear, and he seemed to be trying to stand up, but after several attempts he was unsuccessful, and finally leaned against the trunk of the tree and did not move.
Wu Wei didn't dare to look more, so he put the clothes pole back and closed the light door.
The scene just now is so real, there is no doubt that the end of the light gate is connected to another space, and this space seems to be somewhere on the earth, and the clothes worn by the person who just appeared are a bit like the ancient style of martial arts film and television dramas.
Wu Wei had insomnia this night, there was no way, what just happened was too exciting, and the other end of the light gate was an unknown world! He didn't understand what that meant, but the only thing he knew for sure was that it was the biggest opportunity he had encountered in more than 20 years of life.
In the next week, Wu Wei asked for leave from the leader, and the reason was easy to find, so he said that his family had introduced a partner and wanted to go back to meet him. The section chief is an enthusiastic elder sister, and when she heard it, she happily agreed, and joked if it was the first time he fell in love, and asked him not to worry about things at work, and to be with other girls everywhere.
After finishing the work matter, Wu Wei devoted himself to the study of Guangmen. Through constant experimentation, his knowledge of the light gate also grew. He now knew that the painting was the key to open and close the light door, through the index finger of his right hand, yes, it could only be opened and closed by touching the index finger. The initial size of the light gate is one meter five high and one meter wide, but it will automatically adjust with the size of the object, and the limit of the adjustment is not known for the time being, after all, it can only be tested in the room. But Wu Wei estimated that at least a small car should be fine. Living things can also pass through, Wu Wei bought a chicken in the vegetable market, tied a rope to the chicken's feet and let it pass through the light door and dragged it back to test it many times, the chicken is still alive and well, and finally Wu Wei was stocked into the world over there. The person he saw that day had not moved, Wu Wei judged that he should be dead, no one else was seen in his vision, not even a living creature appeared, and the preliminary judgment was that it was a wilderness, an inaccessible place.
After a few days of preparation, Wu Wei finally made up his mind to go to that world through Guò Guangmen in person! The preparation still has to be done, and there is no experience in this matter, and all of them are done according to the standards of outdoor sports. Camping tents, jackets, enough food and water for a week...... Stuffed a large travel backpack to the point where it almost exploded. There is also a pair of Yingisha black steel short knives bought from Uyghur hawker stalls for self-defense! The dead man who no one cared about for a few days made Wu Wei realize that the world is not necessarily a warm vein, and there is no harm in having a strong sense of risk prevention.
After looking at his watch, at 10:05 a.m. on June 30, 2014, Wu Wei activated the light door, rolled up the picture and put it in the zipper pocket on the side of the backpack, and walked in full armor!
A heat wave hit you, and the sun in front of you was so strong that you couldn't open your eyes. Fortunately, Wu Wei had been prepared for this situation, and the sunhat and toad mirrors were all ready, so he immediately equipped his outfit and began to look at this strange world! Although I have observed it many times with the guò camera, it is different from what I see with my own eyes because of the resolution and angle.
Wu Wei looked around and found that the surrounding scenery was very familiar, and it was the scene in that painting! About a hundred meters away, the man was still leaning against the tree, motionless.
Looking back, the light door was behind him, Wu Wei tried it and confirmed that he could wear and exit freely, that side was still the original room, the watch hands were also running normally, and the time passage on both sides was synchronized. Close the light door, move about a meter and then open it, the place where you wear it back is still the position just now, not a centimeter is bad, and the exit on the other side will also move one meter as Wu Wei guessed, and after groping a few times, he figured out that the light door has a memory function, no matter how the opening position on one side changes, the other side always maintains the same position before passing through the light door, that is to say, the other side is always connected to the starting point of the last crossing. After discovering this secret, Wu Wei was excited, so that no matter how far he went in this world, he could immediately return to the place where he had just set off, so that the biggest worries were gone, and if he encountered any danger, at least there was a way out.
Wu Wei suddenly thought of a question, this painting himself is definitely not the first user, could it be that the last user traveled from this place to his own world? Thinking that he was not alone in knowing this secret, he instantly tensed up and glanced back, as if someone was spying on him from behind.
But he was immediately relieved, this painting was handed down from Grandpa Tai's time, even if there was that person who survived, he would have died of old age a long time ago. Even if you don't die of old age, it's not easy to find a place to live, and besides, the dormitory is the only one who lives, and the door is locked before you come. Then I thought, no, that person is Grandpa himself, is it possible, then isn't he a descendant of the traverser? Wu Wei was a little dizzy.
Closing the light door behind him and putting away the picture scroll, Wu Wei tightened the Yingjisha in his hand, walked slowly towards the dead man, stopped 2 or 3 meters away from him, and he didn't dare to go any further, after all, he was more than 20 years old, except for going to the funeral home a few times, he had never seen a dead person in his life, and this person didn't seem to be a normal death.
Looking closely, this is a middle-aged man, the clothes on his body seem to be a kind of homespun cloth, the mesh is thick and shabby, a short coat that looks dirty and gray, a pair of trousers with fat legs, a wide cloth belt tied around the waist, and a pair of straw sandals with loose uppers on his feet. The hair was long, haphazardly tied together and tied in a bun with a stick. But this qiē is not amazing, what is surprising is the appearance of this person. Wu Wei has never seen a person thin like this, if this person's clothes are a bit like the kind of mentally ill homeless man he saw on the street before he crossed, then this person's body is very much like a refugee from Somalia in Africa! The eyes are deep-set, the cheekbones are high, and there is no flesh on the body, like a skeleton covered with a layer of skin! Wu Wei obviously saw that he was still alive a few days ago, and it was only a few days, and it was impossible for a person who had just died to dry like this, so the conclusion was obvious...... He starved to death.
Thinking that if he had come a few days earlier, he might have been able to save this person, Wu Wei was a little regretful, although he had never known each other, but looking at his appearance, this was also a Chinese. He died silently in this wilderness, and his family probably didn't know about it!
Wu Wei climbed a small hill nearby, picked up the telescope hanging on his chest, which he bought on Taobao for 300 yuan for this expedition, and observed the surroundings. As far as the eye could see, there was no vegetation on the ground, not even a little green on the distant hills, as if the leaves of the trees had fallen off. There was a riverbed on the other side of the hill, which had long since been cut off, and the cracks in the riverbed were large and deep in the sun, and when I remembered the observation during this time, it seemed that the sun was shining like this, and the heat wave was coming. Wu Wei has seen the news of Yunnan's drought fight reported by CCTV, and the situation on the screen is exactly the same, so there is no doubt that this place is also suffering from a severe drought.
Adjusting the focal length of the telescope, Wu Wei found that there was a city in the distance on the north side of the hill, about seven or eight kilometers away, and there seemed to be two villages between the hill and the city.
Walking down the hill, Wu Wei walked in the direction of the city. Soon, his speculation about the drought was confirmed, because the grass and trees he saw along the way were scorched, the land was dry and cracked, and before he had walked a kilometer, Wu Wei saw 5 dead people! Looking at the clothes, they should be the same as the first one I saw, all of them are poor people, all middle-aged and elderly men. And they lay down and died in the ditch by the side of the road, or in the middle of the road, all skin and bones, and they all looked to be starving to death.
Wu Wei became more and more panicked as he walked, what kind of place is this, are all the people here dead?
