Chapter 11 Salary Upgrades
Zhang Xiaohu sat on the rickety carriage, and couldn't help but curse Ma Xiao in his heart, this bastard made up a bizarre story before, saying that there were barbarians who spoke strange languages, and he believed it to be true at the time, thinking that the natives of this world were that image, but looking at the guards around the carriage, except for the language being a little awkward, it had nothing to do with barbarism at all, and there was also a very strong etiquette. Thinking of the dozen or so strong men who knelt on the ground just now, kowtowing and worshipping at the three of them, he still couldn't calm down.
Zhao Zixuan was lying on the side, eating rice balls in his mouth and drinking sour juice in a leather bag. And Li Yichen was wrapped in a sewn fur blanket and sat beside him with a surprised face.
"Lao Zhao, don't eat it, do you remember what Uncle Lan called us just now?" Zhang Xiaohu asked.
"Remember! Call us the Son! What's wrong! Zhao Zixuan had a smug look on his face, "That is, the phone is out of battery, I have to take a video to show my mother if there is electricity, her son is not bad, let her always say how promising my cousin in the United States is!" Cut! ”
"I'm a little confused, what the hell is going on!" Zhang Xiaohu ignored Zhao Zixuan's nonsense and said again.
"What do you care! I think Uncle Lan is good, how enthusiastic! Not only did we prepare a carriage, but also these things to eat and drink, so we don't have to worry about survival, you're not happy! ”
"Nope! I just think it's so weird! Some are scratching their heads! ”
"Lao Zhang, you always use your brain like this, be careful that your hair will fall out." Zhao Zixuan looked at the rice balls next to Zhang Xiaohu and asked, "Alas! Lao Zhang, if you don't eat it, give it to me if you don't eat it! You don't know that the master is really hungry these days, every time you want to eat more, you don't let you eat more! ”
"Eat! Eat! Zhang Xiaohu impatiently handed the rice balls to Zhao Zixuan. looked at Li Yichen, who was sitting here, and asked, "Yichen, you haven't spoken since just now, and you've been fluting, what's wrong?" ”
Li Yichen smiled bitterly: "Senior, I thought, where are Uncle Lan taking us?" What are we going to do in the future! ”
"Let's take one step at a time, and I also think that Uncle Lan is not like a bad person, in this place, it is difficult for us to survive alone, I will talk to Uncle Lan later, see what kind of place this is, is there any way to go back." After Zhang Xiaohu finished speaking, he looked at the guards around him, and asked at random, "This uncle, where is Uncle Lan?" I have something I want to ask him. ”
The guard had an excited expression on his face, thinking that the Holy Son in his mind had spoken to him, and trotted to the back of the team to find Lan Feng, and walked with the carriage with a smile on his face, without saying a word the whole time.
Lan Feng quickly came to the side of the carriage, replaced the person who drove the carriage, and asked with a smile: "Venerable Holy Son, what do you have to say!" ”
Zhang Xiaohu was used to this strange tone, and he asked, "Uncle Lan, where are you taking us?" ”
"Donglu Village!"
"So where is this? We don't know yet! ”
"This is the territory of Donglu Village!" Lan Feng replied proudly. "A radius of 100 miles is all Donglu Village!"
Zhang Xiaohu smacked his tongue secretly, a radius of a hundred miles, it seems that this village is really not small, he said again: "Uncle Lan, I told you just now, we still have some companions who are still staying in that... That big wasteland, can you work harder to bring them back! ”
Lan Feng was frightened, and waved his hand again and again to refuse: "Great Wasteland! Forbidden land too! No one is allowed to enter! Violators are gone. ”
Zhang Xiaohu still tried and said, "How come, don't you see that we have come out well?"
"Venerable is the Son, how can he be mortal!" Lan Feng said respectfully.
Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help it, he looked back and saw that Zhao Zixuan had already laughed, and he blamed: "You can still laugh, those are our classmates, and now that we have fallen, aren't you worried about them?" ”
"Zhang Dashengzi, you are really a bodhisattva! How do you always forget how they did to us! And they have food and drink, what are you worried about! ”
"Those are the little things! Don't always worry about it, and you know that those berries will be eaten one day! ”
Zhao Zixuan is not a hard-hearted person, he thought of those classmates, and he was also a little worried, and replied: "Then what should I do?" We can't help it now! You see, these people will definitely not agree to us going back. And even if we go back, such a large group of people, eating and drinking are all problems, are you sure to bring them all out? If not, let's listen to Uncle Lan first, go to that Donglu village first, maybe there will be another way! ”
"That's it!" Zhang Xiaohu had to do it for the time being, and didn't think about those classmates.
The carriage was escorted by the people, along the smooth dirt road, slowly moving, along the way there were many strange plants, all kinds of strange plants growing along the roadside, bright flowers dotted in between, in the dense plants, you can always see some stone colossus, do hands folded, squint at the sky, and the eye sockets are also inlaid with shining gems.
On the way, occasionally some small animals will jump out of the bushes, and they will be full of life. It was not at all as desolate and lifeless as the Great Wasteland before it.
Lan Feng is not a competent guide, he doesn't talk much, he always grins and smiles baldly, rarely takes the initiative to talk to Zhang Xiaohu and others, and only answers briefly when he has questions, and doesn't say a word superfluous. But that's it, Zhang Xiaohu also asked a lot of things.
For example, the night and day in this world are usually very normal, but there will be a big fluctuation every ten years, the time of day and night will be extended to seven days, and three round trips will return to normal, they call this phenomenon "great replacement", after this situation appears, people will organize people to come to the nearest holy place for sacrifice as soon as possible, and the holy land of Donglu Village is in that valley.
As for the identity of himself and Zhao Zixuan's holy sons, Lan Feng didn't say it clearly, only said that in the prophecy of the village, it was mentioned that when the great change appeared in a certain year, there would be two holy sons carrying seven black jade fruits to the holy land, and these two would bring happiness to Donglu Village. It has been passed down in the village for hundreds of years, and every villager is convinced.
As for the Great Wasteland, I don't know when it became a forbidden land, as for the reason, it is not clear, but it is rumored that once the living enter the Great Wasteland, they will die and be lifeless, and after death, the soul will fall into the endless abyss, and they will never be liberated!
These things have a hint of unbelievable color, and there are more superstitious elements. But Zhang Xiaohu deduced from Lan Feng's dress and speech expression that their level of civilization would not be very high, and their productivity should be limited, coupled with this unusual change in celestial phenomena, doctrines such as ghost and god prophecy should be popular!
Zhang Xiaohu and the three of them really felt the extraordinary treatment of the Holy Son. Lan Feng was unusually enthusiastic, he saw that the three of them liked to eat rice balls and sour juice (mainly Zhao Zixuan ate it too fragrant), so he put all the rice balls and skin bags on the carriage, and he and the other dozen or so guards only relied on the wild fruits they met on the road to satisfy their hunger.
Zhang Xiaohu shirked at first, but seeing Lan Feng's insistence, he had to give up. These people really worship the three of them as gods, just look at their eyes, fanatical! Adore! Agitated! There's so much in it.
