Chapter 22 Breaking the Iron Shoes
The girl in front of me obviously couldn't resonate with my excitement at all, but as if she was guarding against a madman's attack, her expression immediately tensed, and she asked sharply, "Say, why are you in the room where the morgue is rested?" ”
And I noticed that she was holding a pitch-black stick in her hand at some point, probably the one she had used to hit me just now.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not a bad person!" I quickly explained with a smile, "I'm here to find you. ”
"Looking for me?" The girl frowned.
Oh, yes! Because of you, you are Tian Ge! I screamed in my heart.
It is said that I was really happy when I first came down from the mountain this morning, but after the joy was over, the next thing was endless troubles.
Because I found that I had become blind, not only did I not know where to go, but I didn't even know where I was now!
Take a closer look at yourself, your hair is scattered, your clothes are ragged, and you are barefoot, just like a flower child, I don't know what life the Tao family is? Actually fell to this part!
I had no choice but to find a place where there were people first. However, I don't even know the direction now, so which way to go?
In retrospect, when I first woke up, the sun seemed to be very biased, but now it is already high, and it may have been morning. If you look closely at the large trees next to you, you can see that there is generally a direction where the branches and foliage are relatively lush, and the texture of the bark is also relatively delicate, so it should be south in this direction.
I remember someone saying that when the hour hand of the watch points to the sun, the direction between the two hands is south. I used my right hand to make a virtual gesture on my left wrist to make a virtual gesture of the shape of the watch...... If you go backwards from this position, the time should be 90 o'clock in the morning.
Knowing the approximate time and direction, I feel a little more steady. After a hearty drink of spring water, I was ready to go.
As soon as I took a few steps, I muttered in my heart: No, I will return to the southern hemisphere, right? Then all those algorithms have to be reversed!
And immediately he denied himself, saying, "How is that possible?" If, according to Meng Yiling, I will be guided back by the Xunzong Blood Curse, it will definitely be in China, unless my ancestor still has foreign blood. Ha ha!
So I went down the mountain with peace of mind, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
After walking on the flat ground for a long time, I finally came to the main road, saying that it is a big road is just compared with the mountain road just now, in the final analysis, it is just a loess road, there are a lot of stones, and it is even more difficult to walk than the grass just now.
The sun was shining straight overhead, and at first it felt warm, but after a long time, it began to feel too hot, and this temperature felt like it should be summer now.
I don't know how long I walked again, and when I felt that my mouth was dry and I couldn't hold on, there seemed to be a faint sound of horses' hooves behind me.
I looked back in surprise and saw a man and a horse approaching from afar. God, I hope I wasn't overly thirsty and hallucinating a mirage, right? Then I thought, hey, that's not a phenomenon only in the desert!
The instinctive reaction was to immediately stop in the middle of the road, wave his arms and start shouting, "Hey, stop!" Stop! ”
When the horse was approaching, it didn't seem to slow down at all, and I was a little panicked, but how could I finally let a living person walk away like this! So he continued to stand in the middle of the road, but the words in his mouth changed: "Uncle, please stop!" I have something important! ……”
Just as the horse's head was almost hitting my nose, the horse neighed and stopped with a loud and long "Phew-" sound.
What a horse! The ears are long and the eyes are bright, the mane is smooth and smooth, and more importantly, it is obedient, stop when you say stop! I glanced at the horse's head close at hand, and couldn't help but praise it in my heart.
The people on the horse were not as idle as me, and said angrily: "You ****** looking for death!" ”
I didn't care about his vicious words, and immediately said with a smile on my face: "Uncle, I am a guy from the tavern in the town in front, and you are tired from the journey!" Our boss said, please come over for a drink in the evening! ”
He looked at my appearance and asked suspiciously, "Are you a buddy from Fuhai Building?" How do you get this virtue? ”
"Thank you for your concern!" I nodded and said, "I've been waiting for you here, it's not hot, I can't help but go down to the river to play for a while, I don't know which immoral one stole my clothes, and I knew that I must skin him!" ”
"You unlucky rush!" He obviously didn't like to pay much attention to me, so he said lightly, "Tell Boss Li that I will definitely go over at night." And he beat his horse and walked away.
"Okay!" I replied with a loud voice and pretended to bow to him.
In a few moments, he was out of sight.
I looked in the direction he was going, and I couldn't help but smile on the corner of my mouth. Even though it was just less than a minute of conversation, I got enough information.
Just now I saw the man on the horse, with a dark complexion, a short shirt and trousers, a black coat and a black hat, and black cloth boots on his feet. Judging from the dress, it must be true that the ancients are true, but the workmanship of the costumes is relatively fine, and it does not look like a particularly ancient ancient. Not only that, but he also carried something that looked like a blanket on his shoulder, embroidered with three words: Youzhou Station. Although those three characters are written in a crooked manner, the difference between them and traditional Chinese characters is not so huge, and I was lucky enough to recognize them at once!
From these clues, I guess that he was the official in charge of delivering letters in the ancient post station.
If I asked him where I was or something, he would think I was insane and ignore me. So he had to take advantage of some topics that he was familiar with. Then I noticed that there was not only a leather bag hanging in front of his seat, but also a gourd. The difference between the leather bag and the present world is not too big, it must be used to fill water during the journey, then it will be redundant to bring a gourd, plus this person's cheeks are slightly dark, the nose is flushed, and at first glance it is the master who likes the things in the cup, then this gourd is undoubtedly filled with wine!
In that case, it's certainly not wrong to talk about wine! On this hot day, let alone inviting him to drink, even if he has a wine word in front of him, it may be enough to make him feel good and willing to talk!
On top of that, I also deliberately sandwiched the information I wanted to know in my own words, and if it was obviously wrong, he would immediately realize that I was scolding him and react. But he took the opportunity to answer, and explained that my judgment was correct, and that there must be a town not far ahead, and this man worked at the post station there. And there is also a person surnamed Li in the town who opened a tavern called Fuhailou!
Once hope rises, I feel less thirsty and step forward.
To be honest, even if I didn't use these crooked brains and asked him directly, he wouldn't be able to tell me what year it was...... And I'm really not familiar with history, even if he tells me the emperor's name, I can't figure out which dynasty and which generation!
In this confused situation, there is another reason why I can still keep going, and that is my intuition! I just think it's the right way to go! Moreover, the further I go, the more convinced I am that I will find something next!
After walking barefoot for half a day, the soles of my feet were already in unbearable pain, and I guess there must have been a big blister! If it weren't for the support of the heart, it is estimated that it would have been difficult to move an inch.
The best way to overcome fatigue and pain is to think, and I began to analyze it mentally as I walked.
Speaking of which, before I "set off" at that time, it seemed that something had happened outside, and even Meng Yiling, who had always been calm, seemed a little nervous. I don't know what happened to me. Listening to that voice, it seems that he is going to fight, and with Wang Jianguo's skills, he should be able to protect everyone, right? Who is the master he called?
As soon as I thought of these people, countless feelings of nostalgia suddenly appeared, and the past events not long ago began to replay in my heart one by one.
Thinking of Tian Ge's theory that blood carries information that they talked about before, my heart suddenly moved: Maybe it's my blood that is guiding me now! Tian Ge...... When I was injured at that time, Tian Ge seemed to give me a blood transfusion, so didn't my blood also carry her information?
Thinking of this layer, I suddenly became excited, even if there is a copy of me in this time and space, maybe there is a copy of "them". Now I am single-handed, what I can do is really limited, but if I have a companion, no matter which dynasty and which generation he is, Lao Tzu will not be afraid of heaven and earth!
Then, my first goal is to find "them"! How? ……
With such a distraction, it seems that the road is not so far. Soon I saw the second and third people on the road, several people, a group of people, all dressed in ancient costumes, but most of them were relatively simple, and they were probably ordinary people. It may not be appropriate to say that people are shabby, because I am probably the most shabby-dressed person on the street now!
Walk a little further, you can already see the city wall in front, with the crowd to the city gate to see, there are three big characters "Xiping Town" on it!
By this time, the sun had begun to set in the west, and my stomach had been rumbling for a long time. Walking on the street, I smelled the aroma of steamed buns, baked cakes and other foods, and my saliva was three feet long! I even thought that if I could find some tiles or something to hold in my hand, squatting in the corner and shouting a few pitiful words, maybe I could get a son and a half!
But now is not the time to find food, it's important to get down to business! If you want to find someone, you have to have a credential, and you don't have a photo, and you can't match the name, so you don't know where to start if you want to ask!
As he was hesitating, he suddenly saw a little boy sitting in front of a small shop, using a high stool as a table and a low stool as a chair, covering paper and holding a pen, writing something seriously, biting the pen from time to time, and looking confused.
I suddenly had an idea, and I smiled and leaned in...... Unexpectedly, it is so poor that he has to borrow paper and pencil by helping children with homework, what a shame! Fortunately, his homework is just some very simple arithmetic, and if I want to write an article or something in Chinese, I'm really going to plant it.
In this way, before dark, someone finally recognized Tian Ge's portrait and told me that she lived in the eastern suburbs of the city. But when I got to the place he pointed out, someone told me that she had a job for the night, and asked me to try my luck in a dilapidated house outside the nearby village! By the time I stumbled into the broken house, it was completely dark.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and I finally found her! If she hadn't been holding a murder weapon and was sneering at me right now, I would have wanted to rush up and give her a big hug without any distractions!
This aunt is not easy to mess with, I have to deal with it seriously, I don't have time to think about it, and I said nonsense: "I...... I'm here to apprentice! ”
