Chapter 2: The Death of Truman (this chapter can be ignored and only for the sake of occupying the chapter)
Everything is easy to master, as soon as the sky is slightly bright, Zhang Liang set off again, holding the pheasant with wings and feet tied in his hand, cooing in the rhythm of his belly, remembering the taste of his early years, pondering some ingredients, hehe, when he returns to the city, his steps will feel light. This half a day to cross the mountain high and deep bottom, the bottom of the mountain stream meandering, unobstructed, see far away, the mountain is clear and clear, the peak is full of clouds and mist, eh, this half of the mountain clouds and mist is different, this is the --- cooking smoke, Zhang Liang wow wow yelled, although hungry for a long time, still panting and ran over. Getting closer and closer, I can see the figure clearly, my heart suddenly became steady, I breathed a sigh of relief, and I was about to say hello, but suddenly my feet couldn't make it hard, and I was planted head-on to the high hurdle in front of me, and at the moment of consciousness, I was amazed that --- was really high.
When I woke up, I felt that I was lying on the bed, touching my forehead that was still buzzing, and the sky around this matter was already slightly yellow, and I was one tall and one short. I couldn't wait to say: "Hello, hello, oops, I finally met someone, and, thank you so much for saving me", the little girl in front of her suddenly looked straight and said timidly: "You are dressed so strangely, what about your hair, are you a hunter, like me Aya, crackling, the tone is a little peculiar, but I can also guess a rough idea, which made Zhang Liang, who was lying on the bed, stunned, Looking at this girl who seems to be 7.8 years old, with pigtails and wearing ephedra clothes, this dress, well, a little peculiar, glanced at the girl, a woman in her 50s, also dressed like that, and looked at herself curiously. His bare upper body, which was originally eye-catching and bloodstained, was covered with a ephedra dress, and he looked around the dim surroundings, the inferior earthen walls, and the gray and black wooden utensils. sighed in his heart, I only knew that there were some remote and poor places in Guizhou with such houses, but I didn't expect that there were also near Qingquan Mountain.
Feeling a piercing pain, his left leg was fixed straight by three wooden strips, his right leg was better, but his knee was swollen and high, then the woman spoke, you bear with it, the bones in your leg are afraid that they are injured, don't move, it will take some time to get better.
After the pain, Zhang Liang thought about this leg, went back to the city earlier, looked at the poor two, and thought that in this era, mobile phones should be available, so he tried to borrow a mobile phone to use it, and the two said in unison, wondering, what is a mobile phone, a mobile phone. Zhang Liang was bad again. I was in a daze for a long time. The woman handed over a porcelain bowl and said, you should be hungry, drink a bowl, Zhang Liang hurriedly thanked him, the rice porridge was so sweet, and after drinking two bowls, he felt that he was a little toothy. A few words of thanks naturally. It was getting late, so I stayed overnight.
I couldn't sleep well after a night of pain, but I got better in the second half of the night. When I woke up in the morning, I opened my eyes and saw a face close in front of me, startled, although the little girl was also shocked, but obviously, not as timid as yesterday. Say, "Your eyebrows look like my Aya." Oh, Zhang Liang smiled and asked, what about your grandfather, why didn't you see it yesterday, you have to thank you. My Aya died in the first two years, and the little girl came back indifferently, but her eyes slowly turned red. There was silence again, presumably left-behind children.
The leg still hurts from time to time, the girl hurriedly said, grandmother said, you can't move, you will become lame if you move, she is stewing the pheasant you hunted, saying that it is raising bones, and swallowed saliva after speaking. Zhang Liang listened to the girl's questions and asked questions, and from time to time he said a sentence. Although there are some words, I don't understand them very well, and I gradually outline that this unfortunate family comes. The girl's grandfather is also surnamed Zhang, died of illness at an early age, several children, less than three or four years old also died, the youngest son, that is, the girl's father, survived, became the pillar of the family, finally married and settled, and the wife died of dystocia, according to the age of the little girl, counting, the child's mother was only about 14 years old when she had a difficult birth, which shocked Zhang Liang for a long time, is there still the government, is there still the law, what does the family think. I feel sorry for the girl's mother, and I still can't believe that this kind of thing is happening in today's good times. However, looking at the girl's strange clothes, Zhang Liang wondered if he had walked into the legendary deep mountains and old forests. What's even more embarrassing is that during a farming slack time, the girl's father was bitten by a wild boar when he went up the mountain to hunt game. Since then, the grandfather and grandson have been dependent on each other for two years. The little girl proudly showed off how she helped her grandmother with the farm work.
Zhang Liang wanted to return to the city as soon as possible, but looking at her legs, it was really inconvenient, which made her even more grateful to the woman and child who took him in. After a few days like this, Zhang Liang insisted on holding a wooden stick and walking out of the house with one foot. The eldest sister, weaving strips in the courtyard, was stunned from time to time, and the little girl was starting. Looking over, Zhang Liang felt a strange look thrown over, as if, as if Zhang Liang's mother sometimes looked at him, which made Zhang Liang at a loss, and he was a little shy and smiled.
Zhang Liang looked for the topic, and gradually everyone was no longer restrained, there were more than 10 families around, but they were all separated by a few miles, and they were single-doored. The relationship is not bad. Helping each other out. At the foot of the mountain, there is a young man named Zhang Niu, who often goes into the city, and will share some of the money for daily use or food. Zhang Liang listened, listened. Suddenly turned around and thought about things, a moment of rummaging, a moment of searching, which frightened the two of them, and stood at the door, looking at him. After Zhang Liang turned over the three earthen houses, he turned to the woman and asked, don't you say that the city is only a hundred miles away, why is there not even a packaging bag or anything in the house. Look at the girl again, why don't you go to school these days, your school bag, your textbooks. I thought it was inconvenient to enter and exit the deep mountains and old forests, so you didn't go out. In the eyes of the two, a lot of gibberish. Wait for Zhang Liang to vent a little. The woman said, I don't understand a lot of what you said, I have been to the state city of Chengdu a few times, I know that there are many people in the city, lively, and there is no need to farm, those rich and noble men will send boys to school, how can we have that ability, it is good to be able to live safely. Since the seventh year of Wude, my short-lived child has gone, but it has hurt my good granddaughter, Ling'er is still young. I don't want to live anymore, but I also want to raise Ling'er as a human being. As he spoke, he hugged the little girl next to him and cried.
Zhang Liang slowly calmed down, digesting this new information. Seven years of martial arts, I heard it right, what the hell is the seventh year of martial arts, I asked again and again. The woman explained, looking at Zhang Liang strangely, even I, an old woman, knew that a few years ago, there was a saint surnamed Li, and Wude was his year name. The emperor surnamed Li is not famous for Li Shiming, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Wude is not the name of his Laozi, and the history of the Tang Dynasty is more famous in the Celestial Empire. Hahahaha, it's so ridiculous, Zhang Liang looked at the old woman for a long time, wondering if she was sick in the brain, and then wondered if this was a tricky reality show that had become popular recently, and many people were fooled. is like Truman's world, living in his own fantasy world, living in the fantasy world of others, but not the real world, showing it in front of the audience, it seems that the crew has put in real effort. If so, I was still full of anticipation, and I couldn't help but blow the bangs that had been sleeping for the past few days, and strangle the belt of my trousers. This house and courtyard, one color and one person, all of them are antique and fantastic. But no matter how good the child's acting skills are, he is just a child, Zhang Liang walked towards the girl with a strange smile.
