Chapter 29 Ask for directions
Leaving Du San, Zhao Ziqing did not walk along the path on the mountain peak again, but chose another direction. The snow has melted, the mountain road is no longer so difficult to walk, and where to go actually doesn't matter to Zhao Ziqing at all, what she wants to do most now is to get rid of these people as soon as possible, as for recognizing the road or something, she doesn't care, as long as her legs can walk, she believes that she will definitely be able to get out of this mountainous area.
The amount of medicine she gave Du San today was relatively heavy, and he would not wake up until at least after dark, and Zhao Ziqing believed that it would be impossible for him to find him again.
On a valley path, Zhao Ziqing looked up, this mountainous area is really strange, some mountains are lush and green, but some mountains are bare, there is not a single tree, just overgrown with grass. Therefore, in order to better avoid the route, Zhao Ziqing simply did not play cards according to common sense, she sometimes climbed over such a bald mountain, sometimes through a forest, and occasionally walked on the mountain road, in short, there was no exact direction.
Just walked as she wanted one day, Zhao Ziqing suddenly found that she seemed to be really lost, she stood on the top of a bald mountain, looked around, and everywhere she looked, there was still a mountain one after another, and there was no end in sight.
But Zhao Ziqing is not in a hurry, anyway, she is not in a hurry now, she has food and shelter with her, there is no shortage at all, at most she is lonely and lonely. But what Zhao Ziqing didn't think about was that the area of this mountainous area was completely beyond her imagination, and after walking for a few days in a row, it was still an endless feeling.
Zhao Ziqing finally couldn't bear it anymore, at this time, seeing that the sun was about to set again, and around her was a hilly area, hills of different heights, like sleeping giant beasts, crisscrossing the earth, under the sunset, showing a kind of eternal wilderness.
Zhao Ziqing looked around blankly, and saw that there was a small mountain peak that suddenly came out not far away, which was a lot higher than the surrounding hills, and if he stood on it, he should be able to see farther.
The idea was certain, and Zhao Ziqing walked towards the peak.
This small peak is about one or two hundred meters high, and there are not many trees on the mountain, probably due to the soil quality, only some unknown shrubs and weedy vegetation grow, so although it is a bit steep, Zhao Ziqing easily climbed to the peak.
As the field of vision became broader, Zhao Ziqing's depressed mood suddenly relaxed a lot, when she saw the landform in front of her, a smile finally appeared between her eyebrows, showing in her field of vision, it is a basin with a radius of dozens of kilometers, in this basin, there are many villages and some retail households, and the most surprising thing for Zhao Ziqing is that there is a small town in the center of this basin.
Finally no longer the barren mountainous area, Zhao Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief, eager to grow a pair of wings, and immediately flew to the town, feeling the lively atmosphere of the crowd, and rushing to the loneliness accumulated for many days.
At this time, the sun had already set behind the mountain in the distance, and Zhao Ziqing didn't care about resting, so he immediately went down the mountain, and after bypassing two hills from the foot of the mountain, he quickly found a way.
Zhao Ziqing walked along this path towards the direction of the town he saw on the mountain just now, and occasionally saw some farmers working in the fields along the way, although there were not many people to see, but since there were still people working, I thought that this area had not been affected by the war, and from time to time faintly from afar, the barking of the dog seemed to confirm her conjecture.
It's just that in the cold winter, the days are short, and the sun has already set when Zhao Ziqing is still on the mountain, and at that time she visually saw that there are still one or twenty miles away from that town, and after going down the mountain, Zhao Ziqing is not familiar with the road, and will always take a fork in the road.
So I don't know how far away I am from that town, but the sky is already dark.
If it were the usual passer-by, she would definitely be a little anxious when she saw that the sky was dark, so she would speed up her pace, but Zhao Ziqing was the opposite, the more urgent she was, the calmer she was, and then she suddenly remembered that she didn't have the currency of this world, what could she do after going to the town?
Dine? No money, accommodation? If you don't have money, you're probably going to sleep on the streets; It's just that although this area may not have suffered from military disasters, the world will definitely not be peaceful in the era of war, and the more prosperous the place, the more often there are friends and snakes.
Thinking like this, Zhao Ziqing decided to find a place, but at this time it was just night, the stars and moon had not yet come out, although the night was so thick that he could not reach out and not see his five fingers, the visibility might be low, Zhao Ziqing was thinking about taking a flashlight out, and suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps on the right side.
Zhao Ziqing frowned, turned his head to follow the voice, and faintly heard someone talking about something, and the voice was approaching this side. After a while, several figures gradually emerged from the night, and when they got closer, Zhao Ziqing finally saw that they were a few old farmers who went home from working in the fields.
Each of them was carrying a hoe, and when they saw Zhao Ziqing, they all seemed to be slightly stunned, and only one person whispered: "Who?" ”
"I don't know, I don't know." The other whispered.
Zhao Ziqing thought for a while, and suddenly said, "May I ask a few uncles, what kind of place is this?" ”
"Girl, you don't sound like a local." Hearing Zhao Ziqing's voice, one of the old farmers was a little stunned.
Zhao Ziqing hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "Oh, my home is in Jiangyang." ”
"Oh, Jiang Yang." One of the old peasants sighed, apparently he knew what had happened in Jiangyang City a month ago.
Another old farmer kindly asked, "Then where are you going?" ”
"Oh, I wanted to go to town, but it's dark and I don't know the way." Zhao Ziqing said truthfully.
"What are you doing in town?" One of the old farmers seemed to have sympathized with Zhao Ziqing, and there was a bit of concern in his voice.
Zhao Ziqing also seemed to feel his kindness, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this ancient man is really simple, and smiled: "I didn't do anything, I just wanted to find a place to live." ”
"That's right. It's a little far from town. The old farmer said with some concern.
Zhao Ziqing hurriedly smiled again and said, "It's okay, you can always get there." ”
Several old farmers were silent for a while, and one of them suddenly sighed and said: "The way of this troubled world is really like an ant, you are a girl who walks outside with a black light, and no one takes care of it, what if you meet a bad person?" ”
Another old farmer said, "Girl, it's still a long way to get to the town, and the road is not easy to walk, if you don't dislike it, why don't you go back to the village with us, so that you won't sleep under the eaves." ”
"Ugh! Is this convenient? With feelings, Zhao Ziqing can be sure that these old farmers are not bad people, so she is not worried about any bad intentions in them, although she does not have to worry about accommodation at all, but she wants to understand the world as soon as possible, and if she returns to the village with these old farmers, she can just learn about the customs and customs here.
