Section 3: The World
The river was full of rocks, Yun Ye walked very steadily, just last night, he swore that he would no longer be cowardly, his wife and children were in his heart, and the warmth overflowed his entire chest. He wants to take his whole family to this unknown world, and he believes that as long as he is not in the wild world, with his dexterous hands, it is not difficult to make a home here. He was no longer afraid of any beast of prey, no matter how bad it was. Leave the horses behind and survive alone in this wasteland. Yun Ye took it as the first step to live here.
The feet left deep marks on the yellow sand, and a pony limped closely behind. It was a wounded horse abandoned by a herd, and the wolf tore the skin of its hind legs, which quickly rotted under the scorching sun. In the early morning, the horses go to the grassland to graze, leaving it alone by the river to die. Yun Ye cleaned its wound and applied precious white medicine to the wound, believing that it would not take a few days for the wound to heal. Yun Ye regarded this as the final reward for the herd. Then, wave goodbye to it and set out on a path to find the crowd. For some reason, the pony struggled to get up, glanced at the place where the horses went, and walked in the direction of Yun Ye with difficulty. Yun Ye heard the pony's footsteps, but didn't look back, just slowed down. Yun Ye stops, the pony stops, Yun Ye goes, the pony goes. Stop-and-go, one person and one horse, by this long river, walking quite affectionately.
The noon sun became fierce, sweat soaked his clothes, Yun Ye found a shade, it was a huge locust tree, the curved branches shrouded a full half an acre of land, there was only a short grass under the tree, it was a good place to rest. Yun Ye sat heavily on the protruding tree roots, unbuttoned his clothes, and drank a large sip of water beautifully, and the heat was gone. Just as he was about to take a nap, the pony approached and gently arched his head to and fro, looking like he wanted to drink. Yun Ye took out the pan and poured it full of water, and the pony was not polite, bowing his head and drinking freely. Yun Ye put down his backpack and checked its wound, fortunately, the wound did not crack, and I don't know if it was because of the miraculous effect of the medicine or the good physique of the pony, the wound actually had a membrane, no wonder it could follow it for so long. Yun Ye pillowed his head on his backpack, chewing the remaining wolf meat in his mouth, there was not much food, so save it if he could, the pony was lying on the edge of Yun Ye, chewing the grass cut by Yun Ye without a mouthful.
"You're just following me? I don't know where to go yet, you deserve to be unlucky,"
"You know, with a boss who has no future, I said okay, I won't regret it."
"The thief silently threw me on the wasteland to fend for myself, Lao Tzu now admits it, our brothers will live a wonderful life in this world, and eat and drink spicy food in the future, when you kid enjoys happiness."
"You will call it Wangcai in the future, and bring rolling wealth to the two of us, how about it?"
"This name is too popular, without a certain connotation, I can't come up with this name"
"Don't spit, anyway, I like this name so much, look at you, your whole body is covered in mud, it's a loss if you don't call this name."
Yun Ye babbled, Wangcai listened with his eyes closed, and after a while, Yun Ye's voice became lower and lower, and gradually became inaudible......
A rapid sound of horses' hooves woke Yun Ye, and he got up and looked at the dense forest on his right in surprise, where the sound came from. Wangcai also stood up and stood beside him very obediently, smashing his tail without screaming. It's two horses, the hooves are quick and regular, it's not a wild horse running. Yun Ye only felt the blood gushing up his head, picked up the sappers and rushed towards the woods like a shovel, cutting through the weeds, splitting the shrubs, and startling countless birds and birds. By the time Yun Ye panted and cut down the last bush, the sound of horses' hooves had faded away. Looking at the dust gradually subsiding from the Loess Avenue, Yun Ye laughed out loud. Tears and snot covered his face, but he ignored it, threw himself on the yellow earth, and cried loudly again. โฆ,
This is a trace of human civilization, it winds into the distance, parallel to the Yellow River, Yun Ye concluded that this is the road connecting Lanzhou, and now, maybe it is called Chi Road. Just rode over two ancients, Yun Ye felt weird, although he had seen many ancients, but at that time, mummies and dried corpses, Mawangdui beauty Xin Chai was nothing more than that.
The afternoon sun shone on the uninhabited ancient road, looking quiet and desolate, for Yun Ye, it was a road to the unknown, one step to heaven and one step to hell.
Yun Ye found the crowd, but at this moment when he was about to return to the crowd, he seemed hesitant, heaven or hell? What about stepping on this step? In this world, he is a person who does not exist, like a pool of water, throwing a pebble, can the ripples drown him? The unknown is terrifying, and he, who knows nothing about this world, has a great fear. Sweat trickled down his chin. Wangcai stuck his head over and licked my sweat with his tongue, as if to comfort him.
Standing by the river, carefully washing off the dirt on his body with river water, his clothes were in tatters, and after nearly a month's struggle, he could only cover his body. It was still cleaned and tied to the body, but fortunately the backpack was made of soft cowhide and there was no damage. Seeing that Wangcai was covered in mud, he washed him by the way, and the cold river water was poured on his body, and Wangcai's favorite "Boom" screamed.
Striding on the loess road, it doesn't matter where you go, you can always see people along this road. The footprints, hoof prints, and ruts on the road are getting denser and denser, and it is believed that they are getting closer and closer to the village, the city. There is no panic in my heart, and I must be bold when it comes to the end. Turning a meadow, the noise of people was heard. Following the prestige, I saw more than a dozen ox carts parked on the side of the road in a circle, with a flag planted on the car, and a big Tang character was displayed in the wind. Yun Ye's heart twitched. Sure enough, back in the Tang Dynasty and I don't know who the emperor is. Yun Ye looked at this group of ancients with interest, the blue robe reached to the knees, the pants made of linen, the ox ears and hemp shoes under the feet, the hair bun on the head was pulled high, and the wooden stick was used for a while. Is this what civilians attire? There are also a few people wearing leather armor and horizontal knives at the waist and hips, which looks majestic. A strong man with a full beard? Yun Ye peeked beside him, and then strode towards him with a horizontal knife in his hand.
"Qiang boy, dare to come and rob the grain truck, what a bold man" After speaking, as soon as the snowy horizontal knife came out of the sheath, it was about to be slashed down.
Great, familiar Guanzhong cavity. Yun Ye hurriedly stepped back, his hands were raised, and the Shaanxi dialect came out casually; "This strong man, who is the Qiang people, you recognize the wrong person."
The big man did not let go of the knife in his hand, stopped in mid-air, and his eyes were full of suspicion; "Hey, Guanzhong baby, why did you come to Longyou, where is your adult?"
"There are no adults, the master has passed away, and I came out of the mountains alone, and I am the only one."
The big man pulled out his knife and inserted it back into the scabbard, stared at Yun Ye up and down, and walked up to smell it.
"There's no sheep smell, it's a Guanzhong person, what's the big baby running around?"
"Hey the wolf."
Wangcai saw that the strong man grabbed Yun Ye and didn't let go, he didn't do it, and he bit it when he opened his mouth. As soon as the strong man let go, his left hand flashed, and his right hand grabbed Wangcai's chin like lightning, Wangcai screamed in pain, and the strong man laughed and let go, pressed it on Wangcai's back, and shouted: "Good horse." A few other big guys? Yun Ye and Wangcai were so wolf, and Bรจi also laughed. Wangcai was afraid of seeing the living, so he hid behind Yun Ye and secretly looked at these people. The strong man led by him was also looking at Yun Ye, the clothes on Yun Ye's body were scratched like strips of cloth by thorns and branches, although they were torn, they were well-made, the style was strange, the material was like hemp, it was not ordinary, goodbye Yun Ye had delicate eyebrows, delicate skin, and slender hands, obviously not a child of an ordinary family. Wearing a pair of leather boots underneath, it looks weird, but it fits well. I can't help but regret my rudeness just now. Then he slowed down his tone: "Where does Shaolangjun want to go?" โโฆ,
"I lived in the mountains with my teacher since I was a child, not long ago, the family teacher died, Yun Ye guarded the soul of the deceased teacher for three months, the place where he lived was washed away by the mountain flood, and he had no choice but to go down the mountain, and he didn't expect to meet the wolves under the mountain, but fortunately escaped, and it became the way it is now, and he decided to go to Chang'an, and he hoped that the military master would tell Lanzhou how far it was."
"Lanzhou is less than sixty miles away from here, and with your body, with a wounded horse, it will take two days."
"Brothers, where is this grain transported? What year is it? I don't know how many years have passed in the mountains, so please let me know. โ
"Master Hu Tu and his apprentice Hu Tu didn't even know that His Majesty ascended the throne last year, remember, it is now the second year of Zhenguan, as for where to transport grain, this is a military aircraft." The strong man was full of disdain for Yun Ye's question, as if everyone in the whole world should know that his great emperor, His Majesty Li Er, had ascended the throne last year.
Yun Ye only felt as if his head had been hit hard by a giant hammer, Zhenguan two years, Li Shimin. King Qin, in the end, did not escape the secret plot of the wormhole, and was thrown to 1,300 years ago. Think about his wife and children who are completely far away, how embarrassing is this. The mouth muttered, "How can I live so long?" โ
"Don't you like it? Isn't it a great thing that His Majesty ascended the throne? "The strong man? Yun Ye's face was pale and shaky, staring at him viciously with Pu Zhigao's eyes, as long as Yun Ye burst out of his mouth half a word, the horizontal knife would definitely cut at his neck.
"I like it, how can I not like it, His Majesty's accession to the throne should be celebrated by the whole world."
"Then what are you crying about?"
"Tears of joy"
"Then you will cry more, and by the way, help your master to cry too."
