Liang and Zhao came to Liang Ziyue's rented room and sat down as guests. Liang Ziyue poured water for Zhao Min'an, and motioned for Qingchen to find Wang Feng. After Qingchen went out, Liang Ziyue said to Zhao Min'an: "Listening to the accent of Shopkeeper Zhao, it seems that he is not a local, I don't know where Shopkeeper Zhao's hometown is?" ”

Zhao Min'an replied: "My ancestral home is also Youzhou, and I was taken to the Northeast by the Khitans with my parents when I was very young, and I have been living in the Northeast all these years, so my accent has changed a little, and I don't sound like a local." ”

Liang Ziyue nodded and continued: "It turns out that I went to the 'Northeast' since I was a child, so it's no wonder I can't hear the local accent. I heard Boss Bai say that Shopkeeper Zhao joined his caravan halfway and went south together. Presumably, Shopkeeper Zhao has been doing business in the 'Northeast' before, I wonder if Shopkeeper Zhao has done other business in addition to the rare goods he saw below? If Shopkeeper Zhao has other business outlets, we can also communicate with each other. After all, business is about making more money the bigger you do. ”

Zhao Min'an replied: "Don't hide it from Boss Liang, this time I came south to sell corn, well, it's the kind of rare goods that Boss Bai told you, and it's the first time I've traveled so far to do business." In the Northeast before, I still farmed for a living, but I usually did some small business to supplement my family. ”

Zhao Min'an's answer made Liang Ziyue sure that this so-called shopkeeper Zhao was indeed doing business for the first time, otherwise, any businessman with some experience would not have told the other party of the transaction that this was his first business. Moreover, his rough hands and dark face also show that this person usually does the work of the wind and the sun. So, he continued: "Shopkeeper Zhao is really a real person, just rely on this to make you a friend." However, there is still a question below, and I hope that Shopkeeper Zhao can explain it to Zaixia. ”

Zhao Minan said: "If there are any questions, Boss Liang just asks, and he will answer them truthfully." ”

Liang Ziyue said: "As far as I know, the 'corn' sold by Zhao's shopkeeper does not seem to be a product of my Middle Earth. If I hadn't seen this thing from a maritime friend, I wouldn't have known that there was such a thing as 'corn' in the world. Moreover, according to this maritime friend, no one should have cultivated this corn in Middle-earth, and the small handful of corn in his hand was still exchanged from a foreign race when he went to sea for trade. Therefore, there is a question below, how can Shopkeeper Zhao have two big pockets for this thing that no one has ever grown in Middle-earth? ”

After Liang Ziyue finished asking, his eyes were fixed on the expression on Zhao Min'an's face, waiting for the other party's answer.

Zhao Minan was stunned by Liang Ziyue's sudden question, and he didn't know how to answer the other party for a while. This Boss Liang's familiarity with corn was completely beyond his expectations, which made Zhao Minan feel like an old friend meeting. It's just that this "old friend" is now aggressive, as if he wants to see something in his eyes.

Just when Zhao Min'an was a little uncertain and thinking about how to answer Liang Ziyue, Liang Ziyue decided to strike while the iron was hot and confirm the identity of the other party's traverser as soon as possible, and he followed up and asked: "I don't know where the shopkeeper Zhao lives in the Northeast?" Which of the three provinces do you live in? ”

Zhao Min'an, who was thinking about appropriate rhetoric, was not on Liang Ziyue's question at all, so when he heard Liang Ziyue ask him which province he lived in, he subconsciously replied: "I live in Heilongjiang Province, a little north of Harbin." ”

"Heilongjiang" and "Harbin", as soon as these two names came out of Zhao Min'an's mouth, Liang Ziyue could basically conclude that the Zhao Min'an Zhao shopkeeper in front of him must be a traverser. Although, according to the procedure, he will do some more general knowledge tests for this person, but just by virtue of the fact that he can name these two place names, the probability that he is a traverser is already more than 95%.

Liang Ziyue was a little excited to think that he could find a traverser for the team, especially that this traverser could also bring corn to the team that had not yet been introduced to China. Although Liang Ziyue tried his best to control his emotions, his face still showed some signs of emotional fluctuations, and he was seen by Zhao Min'an, who had just thought of his rhetoric and was ready to perfunctory his past.

Zhao Min'an felt strange at first, and he didn't know why this Boss Liang suddenly became excited. But he soon realized the crux of the matter - he had slipped his own words. In this era, where did the "three eastern provinces" come from, not to mention the two place names of "Heilongjiang" and "Harbin". Why was he so careless today, and he was asked about a flaw in a few words. Moreover, how did the Liang boss on the other side know about "Hei Jiliao"? Who is he? What are your intentions for yourself? ,

Faced with a series of questions, and then thinking of his previous identity, Zhao Minan began to be a little worried. He quickly used his brain, making excuses for the mistake in his words just now. As the so-called "urgency makes wisdom", Zhao Min'an, who was not stupid at all, finally thought of a rhetoric and was ready to perfunctory the opposite Boss Liang. But before he could speak, he heard a knock at the door, and another man walked in from outside. This person looked to be in his twenties, tall, well-proportioned, and wearing a suit of energy. Although Zhao Min'an doesn't know martial arts, he has had a relationship with people who practice martial arts for a while, so he can still see that the person who enters the house should be a practitioner. At this time, Zhao Minan was even more worried, and he began to subconsciously look in the direction of the door, estimating whether he could escape from this room before being caught by the other party if he ran around.

The person who came in was Wang Feng, he and Qingchen had already come outside the door, because they were afraid of affecting the communication between Liang Ziyue and the suspected traverser in the house, so the two of them did not enter the room. When he heard Zhao Min'an say "Heilongjiang" and "Harbin", Wang Feng knew that these two place names should never appear in this era, and the identity of the traveler of the shopkeeper Zhao in the house could basically be determined. And through the observation of these two days, it can also be concluded that this person should have no support, just eat with his own hands. Only then did Wang Feng push the door and enter, working as an assistant for Liang Ziyue's later work.

It's just that what Wang Feng didn't expect was that he came in too abruptly, and almost made Zhao Minan run away. Fortunately, although Zhao Minan was a little uneasy in his heart, he had not yet lost his judgment. After a brief period of fear, he controlled his impulses and slowly calmed down. Because he wasn't alone, and there were his relatives in the next room, he couldn't leave her alone. So, Zhao Min'an turned his heart and decided not to say a word no matter how the other party asked.

To Zhao Min'an's surprise, the other party did not ask him any more questions. They looked at each other and nodded. Then, Boss Liang took out a stack of papers, more precisely a stack of pictures, from his arms, placed them on the table in front of Zhao Min'an, and handed a charcoal bar to him, signaling him to look at the contents of the pictures, and then write according to the prompts above.

Zhao Minan took the charcoal bar suspiciously, picked up the first picture and looked at it. It's okay not to look at it, but under this look, Zhao Min'an's eyes suddenly widened and he was stunned on the spot. This first picture is actually a car, and it is a Mercedes-Benz car. Because of the realistic drawing method, the car is drawn very realistically, and even the Mercedes-Benz logo on the front of the car is very clear. At the bottom of the picture, there is a line of words, a line of simplified Chinese characters - "Please indicate the name of the object in the picture below this picture".

Zhao Min'an finally understood a little at this time, he turned his head to look at Boss Liang and his companions, and found that these two people were looking at him with a look of expectation and joy. Seeing that they were looking at them, the two of them nodded to themselves together, as if to encourage themselves.

This kind of eyes and movements gradually calmed Zhao Min'an's originally uneasy heart, he no longer thought nonsense, but stepped down, focused his attention on the stack of pictures in his hand, and wrote according to the above requirements.

There were only ten pictures, and it only took Zhao Minan a minute or two to read them all, write his answers, and then hand them back to the so-called Boss Liang.

Liang Ziyue took the picture, and didn't even read the answer written by Zhao Min'an, or he didn't need to look at it at all, when Zhao Min'an wrote the four simplified Chinese words "Mercedes-Benz car" on the first picture, it had already proved everything. Liang Ziyue put the picture aside, stepped forward and stretched out his hands to Zhao Min'an. Zhao Min'an had completely understood at this time, and his mood at this time was far more excited than Liang Ziyue and Wang Feng. He saw Liang Ziyue stretching out his hand to him, and hurriedly stretched out his hands as well, holding them tightly with Liang Ziyue's hand. If you want to use one sentence to describe Zhao Min'an's current feelings, it must be the words "finally found an organization".

After a while, Zhao Minan finally settled down. He wiped the tears that he shed because of excitement, and asked Liang Ziyue, "Boss Liang, no, no, it should be called Mr. Liang." Mr. Liang, I ......",

Liang Ziyue didn't wait for him to finish, he waved his hand to stop his words, and corrected: "What boss, sir, let's not do this." Since the day we crossed over, everyone in our team has been called brothers. I'm 27 years old, which is the youngest of the team. ”

"My name is Wang Feng, and I'm twenty-eight a month away," Wang Feng introduced himself.

Zhao Min'an saw that the other party didn't treat him as an outsider, and he was even happier in his heart, and said: "Then you two have to call me brother, if you follow the lunar calendar, tomorrow will be my birthday." After my birthday, I will be thirty-four years old. ”

When Liang Ziyue and Wang Feng heard this, they clasped their fists together and said, "This is too coincidental, then we will wish Brother An a happy birthday to you first." ”

Zhao Minan hurriedly returned the gift and expressed his gratitude.

Then, Liang Ziyue asked again: "Brother An, the little girl who came with you is also a traverser, right?" Is she your daughter after all? ”

Hearing Liang Ziyue ask, Zhao Minan remembered his so-called "daughter". He patted his head and said, "Oh, look at my memory, how did I forget her." I'll go get her first, and we'll talk slowly. ”

With that, Zhao Minan left the room, and came back with his "daughter" after a while. Zhao Min'an's "daughter" is a well-behaved child, and as soon as she enters the door, she politely greets Liang Ziyue and Wang Feng. Then he stood next to his "father" and stopped talking.

Zhao Min'an looked at his "daughter" lovingly, and then said to Liang and Wang: "Don't hide it from the two brothers, this child is not my daughter, but my sister's daughter, that is, my niece." It's just that for the sake of safety and convenience on the road, I asked her to disguise herself as a man, pretending to be my son, and just perfunctory all the way. I thought that because she was young and thin, everyone in my company was deceived by me. But now it seems that it may not be. You didn't have close contact with her to find out that she was a girl, so how could my companions not find out if they got along with us day and night. Presumably, they just pretended not to know and put me at ease. ”

"It turned out to be Brother An's niece," Liang Ziyue said, "However, if you want me to say, this niece can also be regarded as a close relative." In this case, Brother An, you will treat her as your own daughter, and she will take you as her father, isn't it just right? ”

Zhao Min'an nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "Brother Liang is right, that's exactly what I think. Moreover, since the crossing, I have treated her as my own daughter. ”

Zhao Min'an's daughter is also very sensible, and when she saw Liang Ziyue and her uncle say this, she immediately called out sweetly and crisply: "Dad!" ”

Zhao Min'an listened to it, and it was called a beauty in his heart. He hurriedly agreed: "Hello! ”

Wang Feng interjected at this time: "I don't know how old the eldest niece is this year, what is her name?" Also, when and where did you and her come from? How did you live before you met us? ”

Zhao Min'an replied: "Her name is Zhang Yunxia, and she is thirteen years old this year. We were in April last year, well, according to the solar calendar, it should have been June 6, 2012, and we crossed not far from Harbin. We were pierced to the vicinity of Liaoyang Mansion on Tokyo Road, Liaoguo, and the time was supposed to be April 17 of the lunar calendar. I studied agriculture and worked at the agricultural technology station in the village before the crossing. At that time, I had just bought some rice and corn seeds from the city and a few bags of potatoes back to the village, and Yunxia had a holiday because the school was arranged as a college entrance examination room, so she took my car home for two days. As a result, halfway down the road, we came across a strange dark cloud that shimmered with purple light, and then we arrived at this era. Well, by the way, I almost forgot something important. When we crossed, it wasn't just our father and daughter. A PLA squad leader who was going home to visit relatives wanted to take my car, and he and I were talking, and we were crossed together. ”

Hearing Zhao Min'an say that there was another traverser, Liang Ziyue and Wang Feng's eyes suddenly widened, and they asked almost in unison: "What about others?" ”

Zhao Minan shook his head with a little regret and said, "It's gone." ”

"No one? What does it mean to be gone. Could it be that you didn't see him again after the crossing? Or did you get separated? Liang Ziyue asked in mourning. ,

Zhao Minan shook his head again and said, "I'd rather I was just separated from him, but unfortunately it's not, I have to tell you about this slowly from the beginning." First of all, after the three of us crossed, we found ourselves in a mountain forest, and there was no sign of human existence around. At that time, the three of us were frightened, if it weren't for the squad leader named Zou Zhenyuan who kept comforting our father and daughter, I was afraid that we would have lost our minds a long time ago.

Later, after my emotions gradually calmed down, I judged that I might have traveled through time travel based on my previous experience of reading some time-traveling novels on the Internet. So, I discussed with squad leader Zou that everyone should take the initiative to go out and not wait here. Otherwise, I'm afraid there is only a dead end, and squad leader Zou completely agrees with my opinion. However, we did not dare to drive again, but hid the car in a cave near the crossing point, unloaded a bag of potatoes from the car and brought it to our bodies as food, and walked out of the forest on two legs.

We came out of the mountains and walked for several days before we came across the first small village after this era. In this small village, we learned a little about this era, and we knew the approximate location of our position, the era, and so on. At that time, I discussed with squad leader Zou whether to continue to walk far away, or to stay in this small village for a while. As a result, the two of us discussed and decided to continue walking, hoping to stop when we came across a slightly larger town. Who knows, this thought can kill several of us. ”

"What, you've been robbed?" Wang Feng asked.

Zhao Min'an nodded, shook his head again, and said: "This is also true or wrong, to say that we were indeed robbed by others, but these robbers are not just to rob things, they even want to rob people." ”

"Even robbing people?" Wang Feng asked again, "Do they still want to pull you into the gang?" ”

Zhao Minan waved his hand and said, "Of course, it's not to pull us in." These people were all local Han soldiers, and in addition to robbing us of our things, they also wanted to drag us to their commanders as slaves. At that time, the situation was quite dangerous, dozens of people on the other side were armed with knives and guns, if we did not obey the slightest, I was afraid that we would end up in a different place.

Fortunately, squad leader Zou reacted quickly, and he saw that one of these people was dressed differently and seemed to be a leader, so he handed over the Yanghe Daqu of a military kettle he was carrying. After two sips, the leader was full of praise and his attitude towards us was much better. He didn't kill or fight, but let us follow him back to the city and wait for him to fall. ”

"This squad leader Zou seems to be a master who loves to drink very much, otherwise how would he carry a kettle for wine." Wang Feng sighed.

Zhao Min'an said: "Where does he like to drink, this wine was originally bought by him for his father. When we left the crossing point and walked out after the crossing, he was reluctant to throw it in place, so he poured the wine into the military kettle he had brought. At the time, I thought he was stingy. thinks that it is a waste for him to fill the kettle with wine instead of water, and he can't quench his thirst by drinking on the road on this hot day. Now that I think about it, it's good that he didn't listen to me and changed the wine to water, otherwise our lives would have been much more miserable for the rest of us.

We were escorted by the group of Khitans and walked for almost a day until we arrived at a big city. I didn't know the name at first, but later I figured out that it was Liaoyang City, the seat of Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, Liaoguo. The leader of the army that captured us was the captain of the guard of an official in the city, and this official was Han Deshu, the left minister of the Prime Minister's Office in Tokyo. This Prime Minister Han is not very old, but he is said to be very capable. Moreover, because he is Han himself, he still takes care of the local Han people.

After we were arrested and taken into the city, we didn't suffer any crimes, and we were all arranged to farm in the farmland of Prime Minister Han's house outside the city. I was engaged in agricultural technology before the crossing, which is equivalent to my old profession. That Zou squad leader also did farm work at home before he became a soldier. Although the seeds and agricultural tools of this era are not as good as those of modern times, a lot of knowledge is still common, so we are quite handy in doing it.

I thought that unless I encountered some major changes, I was afraid that I would have to be a farmer for the rest of my life. Unexpectedly, not long after being a farmer, he really encountered a coincidence. It was last fall, and the captain of the guard who had captured us into the city had gone out to hunt and stopped by the manor. I think they were happy to hunt, so a few of his guards wrestled and jousted on the edge of the field. ,

I was a peasant intellectual before the crossing, but I was a purely residential peasant after the crossing, and I had little interest in this kind of martial arts competition. But squad leader Zou is different. He was a soldier before he crossed over, and he liked to practice martial arts at home before he became a soldier, and his kung fu was very good. Therefore, when he saw those guards competing in martial arts, he was fascinated. I didn't do any more farm work in my hands, and I just watched the excitement intently. Naturally, he would be caught doing this, so the head of the overseer came and scolded him. Squad leader Zou was looking at Xingtou, and when he was scolded by the foreman, he was a little dissatisfied, and said a few words to the overseer. The overseer is usually used to acting as a prestige, but after receiving this, he immediately raised his whip and beat Squad Leader Zou a few times.

Squad leader Zou had already seen that this overseer was not pleasing to the eye, and he was beaten by him again at this time, so he was naturally angry, so he began to fight back with his own kung fu. Needless to say, the overseer is usually just a bully, and he has no ability at all, where is the opponent of squad leader Zou, and he was knocked to the ground by squad leader Zou in a few strokes. This guy saw that he couldn't beat Squad Leader Zou, so he yelled, planning to ask other overseers to come over to help. As a result, the other overseers did not call, but they alarmed the guards, and the captain of the guard brought someone over to inquire about them.

At that time, I was frightened, thinking that squad leader Zou was going to suffer a lot this time. Unexpectedly, things turned out to be much more than I expected. After the captain of the guard asked the reason, not only did he not punish Squad Leader Zou, but looked at him differently, and immediately let his guards and Squad Leader Zou make a move. According to squad leader Zou himself, he was also out of the box at that time, and he used his true skills to defeat several guards in a row.

Now, the captain of the guard has a different attitude towards Squad Leader Zou. According to his words, although they are Han Chinese, because they have lived in the land of the Khitan people for a long time, they also advocate force like the Khitans and admire people who can fight well. It would be a waste for a person as capable as squad leader Zou to stay here and farm, he should go to the army. So, the captain of the guard reprimanded the overseer, and then took Squad Leader Zou away.

Within a few days, squad leader Zou came back to see me in a new dress. It turned out that the captain of the guard saw that he had good kung fu and good health, so he went to Prime Minister Han to explain the situation and transferred him to the guard team as a guard. Although squad leader Zou has a new identity, he has not forgotten me, a brother who shares hardships, and specially asked for leave to come to see me. The first was to tell me that I was safe, and the second was to show the overseer his new identity and warn him not to bully me and my daughter in the future. ”

"At that time, Uncle Zou should have punched the overseer to death, otherwise there would be no follow-up," Zhang Yunxia suddenly interjected.

Seeing Zhang Yunxia say such things at a young age, Liang Ziyue and Wang Feng were very surprised, and they subconsciously looked at Zhao Min'an, as if they wanted to get an explanation from him.

Zhao Minan was not surprised by his daughter's complaint, and his eyes were still full of love when he looked at his daughter. He stroked his daughter's head and said, "You can't be blamed Uncle Zou for this, he couldn't have expected that things would turn out like that in the future." ”

After speaking, Zhao Minan turned his head to Liang and Wang, and explained: "I can't complain that Yunxia hates the supervisor so much, but that supervisor is too hated and lacks morality." Things started a few months ago, since Squad Leader Zou became a guard, Yunxia's life and I have been much better, not only no one dares to bully us, but Squad Leader Zou will send us some food and clothing from time to time. Originally, everything was fine, but in the spring of the future, I even wondered if I should find an opportunity to talk to the steward and bring my bags of seeds to plant.

But three months ago, the overseer who was beaten by Squad Leader Zou suddenly asked someone to come to me, saying that he wanted to marry me, and he wanted Yunxia to marry his son. The problem is that Yunxia is only thirteen years old, and she is not yet the age of marriage. Besides, even if she is old enough, I can't let him marry the son of the overseer, because the son of the overseer is a fool and doesn't know anything but eating and sleeping, how can such a person marry. So, I immediately refused. It is said that when the overseer got the reply, he was so angry that he scolded him, saying that I didn't know how to lift. However, he scolded and scolded, but he didn't dare to do anything to me, after all, he had learned the fist of squad leader Zou. ,

Who knows, it's not over yet. At the beginning of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, squad leader Zou came to say goodbye to me, saying that he was going on a business trip with Prime Minister Han and had to leave for a while. He knew that the overseer had a grudge against me and had bad intentions towards Yunxia, so before leaving, he went to the overseer to warn him. The overseer was very kind to him at the time, and he was very honest for a while after Squad Leader Zou left, and he didn't come to harass me again. However, at the beginning of last month, the overseer suddenly changed his face. This guy came to my house every once in a while and threatened me, saying that if I didn't marry my daughter to his son within a few days, he would send someone to rob him. He also threatened to ask me not to expect squad leader Zou to avenge me when he came back, because squad leader Zou would never come back.

I didn't believe him at the time, thinking he was lying to me. But later, I got news from other people, saying that Squad Leader Zou accompanied Prime Minister Han to participate in the hunting conference held by the Emperor of Liao, but in the process of hunting, in order to protect Prime Minister Han from being injured by fierce beasts, he was seriously injured and died.

In this way, the threat of the overseer is not a scare. Seeing that disaster was coming, I let it go. On the evening of the eighth day of last month, I pretended to agree to the marriage of the overseer, went to his house to confess to him, and expressed that I wanted to invite him to his house for a drink, and by the way, the wedding date was set. I had planned to get him drunk while he came to my house, and then flee the manor and run south. But in order to show his generosity, this guy actually offered to invite me to dinner at his house. I couldn't put it off, so I had to listen to his arrangement and adjust my jihua.

I first drunk the overseer on the wine table, and then I used the pig-killing knife in his kitchen to slaughter him. Kill him, and I will have no way out. So, without doing anything, I took advantage of the fact that there was only his son and a servant who was cooking at that time, and the other helpers and subordinates were not at home, so I stabbed them all one by one and killed them all. Then, he seized the carriage of the overseer's house, pulled Yunxia overnight and ran away.

In order to avoid a possible pursuit, I did not run directly south, but first ran to the place I had crossed, hid in the cave where the car was hidden for a few days, and then took a few bags of corn and potatoes and drove the wagon all the way south. Later, on the way, he met Bai Zhenbai's boss and them, so he joined his caravan in the name of doing business in Youzhou, and came to Youzhou City all the way. ”

After listening to Zhao Min'an's story, Liang Ziyue and Wang Feng sighed. They didn't expect that an ordinary intellectual and an ordinary farmer like Zhao Min'an, who might not even be willing to kill chickens in his previous life, would have the courage and courage to be a bully. At the same time, they also regretted the accidental death of squad leader Zou, and felt that it was a pity that such a capable person could not be recruited to the team. However, then again, if it weren't for the accident of squad leader Zou, I'm afraid it would be impossible for me to meet Zhao Min'an.

Zhao Min'an's story is finished, and then it is Liang Ziyue and Wang Feng's turn to tell the story. Liang and Wang "humbled" each other, and in the end, Liang Ziyue completed the work. He sorted out his thoughts a little, and then concisely recounted the various experiences of the team since they crossed over.

Liang Ziyue's narration made Zhao Min'an sigh, and shouted, "They are all traversers, and the treatment enjoyed by Weishenme is so different." Seeing this, Liang and Wang hurriedly comforted him, and told him what happened to the four Xie Tian brothers, so that he could be more mentally balanced.

Maybe it was the comfort of Liang and Wang that played a role, or maybe Zhao Min'an was open-minded by nature, so after a few words of emotion, he quickly calmed down. Subsequently, he asked Liang Ziyue what he should do next.

Liang Ziyue said; "The rest is simple. Brother An, go back to your own residence and wait. After I have reported this matter to the committee and obtained the approval of the committee, I will first take you to the inn where my fifth brother Wang Kunjun and others lived, and meet with the fifth brother and them. Then, just listen to the arrangement of the fifth brother and act again. ”

Zhao Min'an nodded again and again after hearing this, and said, "Brother, I have everything arranged by you, Brother Liang." ”

After speaking, he hugged his fists to Liang Ziyue and Wang Feng, and then took his daughter back to his residence to wait.
