Chapter 19: I Have a Scoop of Wine

The first people lived by water, and gradually developed large and small cities, gathering various resources here. Therefore, the people in the countryside want to move into the town, the townspeople want to squeeze into the county seat, and the people in the county town sharpen their heads and drill into the county capital.

However, there are always exceptions, and it is surprising.

The head of the Qiyun County Town, Sun Xuan, has been on an errand for more than 30 years and has accumulated a lot of gold and silver. After the birth of his grandson the year before last, he sold a prosperous shop in the city and bought a manor outside the city, so that his wife, sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren could all move over to enjoy the blessings.

Catching fast is a cheap business, and it is the most despicable of fast catching, dealing with people who are dying all day long.

The yin qi on their bodies is too heavy for anyone to like. The silver for work and food is not high, only fifteen taels a year. Although the way to get money is narrow, it can't compare with the scenery of catching heads, and it is still indispensable to pay for tea, wine, and poor strength.

For example, if the cause of death is not ascertained for a long time, the deceased will not be able to be buried. Or, during the examination, the body is dismembered indismemberment. In order to lay the deceased in peace, the relatives had to make a point. If there is a hidden secret, there is no shortage of hush money.

Only when there is an ownerless bloody case, there is no oil and water to fish, and he has to be tired into a dog.

Sun Shuo saved a little bit like mosquitoes accumulating blood, and when he was old, he actually bought a manor, and he couldn't help but praise it, a good means!

Qi is over the age of six, the golden basin washes his hands and unloads the messenger, it is time to enjoy the idyllic scenery and the joy of family. No, Sun Lao'er even sold the house near the main street and moved to a remote rotten house in the south of the city, living alone.

Is there a conflict with the family? Not like that. During the New Year's holidays, the son and daughter-in-law always bring their grandson to visit.

He went out of the city occasionally, and never stayed in his garden, and he would turn back before dark.

What a weirdo!

After King Hua ascended the throne, he changed the name of the year to the apocalypse and followed the lunar calendar. January, February, and March are spring, April, May, and June are summer, July, August, and September are autumn, and November, and December are winter.

This day is the first day of the second month of the twentieth year of the Apocalypse.

The night sky is quiet and the stars are twinkling.

The first day of the new year is commonly known as the new sun, and the moon is hidden. Nursery rhyme cloud, I can't see it at first glance, a line in the second year, and a moth brow bend in the third and fourth days......

Under the starlight, the ground was blurred, and the shadows were thick and black.

Xintianyou glides in the shadows of the trees.

His digestion ability is dozens of times that of ordinary people, and all the food is converted into pure energy storage, not subcutaneous fat, so he can't grow fat. But after gluttony, it is also a time of relative weakness. I can't lift my spirits, a bit like a big python that has eaten up.

It's so much better now.

On tiptoe, the person gently floats more than a foot away. It doesn't make a sound and blends in with the night.

In the darkness, a blurred light appeared.

Less than 100 meters away, Xintianyou hid behind a willow tree and observed carefully.

Ahead was a dilapidated courtyard with adobe walls that had collapsed in several places. Under the eaves of the thatched hut hangs a lantern of "the wind of the air", the rotten fence door is wide open, and a small table is placed in the courtyard.

A lamp like a bean, a white-bearded old man was drinking alone in the starlight. Clip a peanut and chew it for a long time, pour a cup of wine "Goodong", and look at the night sky melancholy at an elevation angle of 45 degrees from time to time.

The atmosphere is eerie, similar to the situation when the ghost fox spirit appears.

It is located in the low-lying part of the southern city, which is not only remote, but also flooded when it rains. Mosquitoes are rampant in spring and summer, and cold winds are cold in autumn and winter. Hardly any family wants to live here, except for a few poor people who come here to cultivate vegetables.

Xintianyou closes his eyes slightly and improves his hearing to the extreme. It was determined that within a radius of three hundred meters, there was only one old man.

At noon today, after a big bite to eat in the county guard's mansion, he didn't go to the inn that had been arranged.

Dong Shumin needed to adjust his body to adapt to the transformation of "Evolution No. 1", and postponed the plan to accompany him and Ma Cuihua to go shopping until tomorrow morning, and did not go out.

The boy went straight to the bookstore.

Nested in Yunshan for 16 years, information is blocked.

This time, he wanted to sort out a clear line of world evolution from the source to the end.

There are many bookstores in the county town, and the scale is not small.

The shopkeepers often have a bit of a bookish atmosphere, and when they see that he doesn't buy books and only reads them, they think that whose scholar is here to make up for it. Willing to provide convenience, I have to explain what I don't understand, and I'm addicted.

Xintianyou discovers that there is indeed a vanishing civilization.

I have seen sporadically from the pre-Qin to the Han, Tang, and Song ...... Although the classics and historical records are incomplete, they prove that they once existed. The names of those shining stars, Lao Tzu, Zhuangzi, Confucius, Shakyamuni, Li Bai...... is still shining, and is crowned with the title of "ancient sage".

However, historical development came to an abrupt end in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

Legend has it that the gods were angry and destroyed the world with flames. Eternal night descends on earth, and smoke covers the earth. A comet falls, and acid rain falls from the sky. Ice and snow have been covering for thousands of years, ushering in the harshest winter in history......

Seeing this, it was as if an electric light pierced the sky. Xintianyou was dumbfounded, and almost dropped his jaw in shock.

This, this, this......

Isn't it a scenario of nuclear war?

Flames and smoke are easy to understand, eternal night is not seen for a long time, and comets are missiles. A nuclear explosion vaporizes rocky soil and rolls it into the sky. Large particles carry radioactivity to the ground, forming acid rain that kills everything. Small dust disperses throughout the stratosphere to cover the Earth, blocking out sunlight and creating an extremely cold nuclear winter.

The account is general and vague, more like a monster novel. It is said that the lives are ruined, and there is no ......

Then came the 5,000-year-long period of darkness and chaos. Demon beasts were rampant, and the ancestors drank blood and survived.

Over the next two thousand years, tribes, clans, city-states, and states gradually appeared.

Until 3,000 years ago, the aura of heaven and earth was revived. It was the emergence of powerful monks that allowed humans to dominate the entire world.

……

Xintianyou was dizzy and crumbling when he saw it.

Everything fits into the history he knows, tightly seamed, without the slightest deviation.

But great horror befell you.

Even though he has been trained strictly mentally since he was a child, he can't help but feel a chill down his spine.

If history is compared to an endless picture, then there is an invisible giant hand that directly tore off the 600 years from the middle of the Ming Dynasty to the high-tech era, and there is not even a slag left.

Why is this so, and what secrets are hidden in it?

What happened in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and it is necessary to choose such a time node?

The boy was at a loss.

Let's ......

Heavy thread-bound books fell out of his hands.

The shopkeeper hurriedly supported him and called the guy to bring a bowl of sour plum soup. I sighed that it was rare for a little scholar to work so hard. It's a pity that his background is too humble, and it is difficult to become a big man after all.

Xintianyou changed several bookstores, and when he saw that the content was similar, he decisively gave up the ineffective exploration of history.

It doesn't matter what it has in the past, and what demon moths have in the middle, I just kill it all the way forward.

Fifteen years ago, just after the beginning of summer, a total of more than 20 people died in the Yanggu Valley outside the city of Qiyun County. He was the only surviving baby who was brought into Yunshan by Master.

It should have been a sensational tragic bloody case back then, and everyone knew about it.

Credible Tianyou knocked on the side of many people, and even used psychological suggestion and hypnosis, and the answers obtained were surprisingly consistent, there is no such thing.

When I returned to the inn in the evening, I was unwilling to do so, and asked the shopkeeper again. The shopkeeper knew that he was a guest of honor in the county guard's mansion, so he naturally knew everything for fear of being inconsiderate.

However, as an indigenous, even the shopkeeper didn't know that such a big case had happened back then. I only remember that there was a riot at the beginning of summer, and the imperial court increased troops to the camp in the south of the town and swept Yunshan.

Some people are cultivating on the side of the mountain, and some go to the city to beg for a living, regardless of language, clothing and customs, they are almost the same as the Chinese people, and they are called familiar fans. Those who stay in the mountains are rigid and barbaric, and do not obey the king's law, and are called Shengfan......

Regarding the life in Yunshan, Xintianyou knows better than anyone else, and immediately interrupted the conversation and asked:

"Fifteen years ago, who was the leader of the team?"

The shopkeeper smiled:

"It's Sun Lian, I still know him. The case asked by the guest officer, others don't know, but they must know. However, that guy is very weird and difficult to deal with. ”

It's easy to find a clue, and there are ways to get a person to speak.

Xintianyou took advantage of the night to sneak into the south of the city, and saw from a distance that Sun Xuan's yard was overgrown with weeds and waist-high. Several trees have slanted branches and buds blooming.

A jug of wine.

Alone.

A long sigh.

"I have a scoop of wine to soothe the dust. Thousands of miles of guests, ask you where you are? ”

Airplanes......

The boy's hair stood on end, scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

Nima, is this a puppet, or is it a poetic immortal?
