Chapter 2: Gathering Here We Are
"Yingchuan Meng Xin, thank you two for your help!" The three people on the tree had returned to the ground at this moment, and the young man in the coarse cloth robe and the young man dressed as a scholar took the lead in stepping forward to thank him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I'm a technician from the Red Star Iron and Steel Plant, my name is Zhang Han, I'm so grateful for the rescue this time!" The man in the green military uniform next to him also stepped forward to thank Liu Xing first, and introduced himself by the way, but he didn't know why he ignored Chu Madness.
"Thank you to the two adults for saving me, the slave is called the wind ......" The last person was trembling, as if he was born inferior.
The appearance of these people was also seen by Chu Mad and Liu Xing, but the latter was more concerned about the way they dressed. Then he stepped forward directly, grabbed his collar and asked, "Are you a Mongolian Tatar?"
"No, I'm not a Mongol! My father and mother are from the Song Dynasty, and our family was taken captive by the Mongols as herding slaves. The man who called the wind immediately shouted in a panic, and he was in such a hurry that he was about to cry.
"I said Lao Liu, others are from the Song Dynasty, or people from the Song and Yuan dynasties, there are still some years before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, what are you competing with him?" Chu Mad stepped forward and grabbed his hand to persuade him.
"Hmph, my grandfather died at the hands of the Mongolian Tatars, why do you say I hate the Mongolian Tatars so much?" Liu Xing snorted coldly, but let go of the wind, he at least knew the difference between the Mongolian true Tatars and the Han people who were coerced.
"This master, my father and mother also died at the hands of the Mongols, if you want to say hate, I hate it too!" Feng Wenyan suddenly cried, but maybe he had been a slave for too long, and he still didn't have any temperament when he spoke.
"What about you, and in what era did you come over?" Chu Mad looked at the other two again.
"You kid is a person from the capitalist society at first glance, is it a person from the White Army? I don't talk to the people of the White Army!" But he didn't want Zhang Han to directly treat Chu Mad as an enemy, or that his attitude was not very good when he met at the beginning.
"Don't make a fuss about this old watch, everyone estimates that the times are different at most, I am a native of China in 2016, looking at your appearance, it should be a person around the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, right?" Chu Mad just looked at his dress, as well as the tone of his speech, almost certainly the background era he had traveled through, and couldn't help but ask.
"Are you really not a white bandit?" Zhang Han asked tentatively.
"Here, this is my ID card!" Chu Mad directly took out his ID card.
"Yo, it's really my own person! You came here in 2016? I came in 1980! Haha, we're still half a fellow villager! I'm from Hengxian County!" After reading his ID card, Zhang Han believed Chu Maan's words, and his attitude suddenly improved a lot.
"I'm from Nanning, and I'm half a fellow countryman!" It's rare to have the closest era, and Chu Mad and Zhang Han naturally got closer.
Meng Xin, who was the first to introduce himself on the side, was sad, why didn't anyone ask me?
Before he had time to introduce himself, he didn't want Zhang Han to help him introduce himself to Chu Mad and said: "This kid said that he is from Yingchuan of the Great Han Dynasty, and he is still a disciple of Yingchuan Academy. Cut, full of feudal remnants!"
"I said Brother Zhang, except for the two of us, who are from the civilized era, these three brothers are all from the feudal era, so let's accumulate some morality. Besides, now that everyone has fallen into such a situation, it is too late to unite, and it is better to talk less about division. Knowing that it is the descendants of Yan and Huang, the people of Huaxia are fine, isn't it?" Chu Yan hurriedly said, otherwise the two of them would only be ostracized by the other three.
"Speaking of which, how did we come to this ghost place?" Zhang Han also took the opportunity to express the doubts in his heart.
"I crossed over, I don't know how I crossed over, as soon as I woke up, I was here, you ask me who I ask? It's just that there is no store in the village in front of the village, there are only five of us who are alive, do you think we are better to go our separate ways, or do we get together to take care of each other?" Chu Madness replied loudly, not only to Zhang Han, but also to the other three.
"I don't have a problem with your proposal, brother, but what the hell is this crossing, brother, you want to popularize science with my brother!" Zhang Han thought about it, and simply changed the topic.
"From time and space to time and space, from space to space, do you understand? Remember that at that time, didn't you already have arguments like wormholes, space-time teleportation, and so on? We may not be able to say at present, this is the case, and it is not from a single era!"
"So, I didn't expect that we could still meet such a sci-fi thing?" Zhang Han seemed to agree with this statement, after all, this is a big man, and the future, it can't be recognized or not, it can't be one or two together to fool him, right?
By the way, Lao Liu, you see that everyone has been busy for most of the day, and there is no drop of water and rice, it is rare to have such a leopard here, isn't it ......" Chu Mad looked at Liu Xing again.
"I don't have any water, and I won't die of thirst just by eating meat?" Liu Xing replied angrily when he heard this.
"If you have a water source, we still know it......" Meng Xin heard this and immediately stepped forward to say.
"Yes, on the way we came, there was a small river, and the water there was sweet!" Zhang Han suddenly interjected.
Meng Xin was bitter again, and he hadn't finished talking about what this bird had come out to say? It's too rude! It's a pity that he also knows that these four guys are not elegant people, and in the end he can only sigh that this world is broken!
It's certainly good to have water, especially in the jungle. Chu Madness knew very well that if he wanted to get out of the jungle, he had to follow the stream, and the stream would eventually merge into the river, and the river would take everyone out of the jungle and towards civilization.
Several other people actually understand this truth, but when they were drinking water before, they were found and chased by leopards, and it was a miracle that they didn't die.
The leopard is not light, weighing nearly 300 catties, Liu Xing was troublesome, so he directly disemboweled it and removed those internal organs. Chu Madness fought on the side, and finally peeled off the leopard's skin with a saber. In this way, the weight dropped to about two hundred catties, but he didn't want Liu Xing to carry it directly with one hand, which looked quite easy.
"Look, this is the stream we found, and there seem to be some small fish and shrimp in the water. If it weren't for that leopard, maybe we would have grabbed some for lunch. After a while, the five of them came to the edge of the stream, and Zhang Han pointed to the crystal clear water and said to Chu Yan.
The water quality is very good, it is definitely natural mountain spring water, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to drink it directly. At least Chu Madness went deep into the mountains and forests several times to survive in the wild, and the quality of the mountain spring water he came into contact with was not as good as that in this stream.
"Lao Liu, it seems that this neighborhood is quite suitable for camping, how about we get together here for one night first depending on the situation today? Hurrying in the middle of the night is very dangerous in the forest! Moreover, I think we also need to have a deep understanding, otherwise some words will be held in our hearts, and it will be uncomfortable, isn't it?" Chu Mad looked at Liu Xing and proposed.
"I'm okay!" Liu Xing was silent for a moment before returning.
"A certain second!" Meng Xin replied.
"I'm fine......" Feng replied resignedly.
Zhang Han naturally has no problem, in fact, everyone really wants to ask, among the five people, it is estimated that Chu Mad can accept his situation first, this kind of calmness comes from the perennial preparation of survival maniacs, as well as the bombardment of modern information.
Since they want to camp, they naturally need a shack, except for Meng Xin and Zhang Han, the other three have similar abilities to survive in the wild, and a simple shack that can accommodate five people was built between the branches of the two trees, and they could get together for one night tonight.
Meng Xin and Zhang Han naturally couldn't just watch and not work, one was responsible for cutting meat, and the other was responsible for picking up firewood. Fortunately, it's not the kind of waste wood that can't be worked, and it's still very easy to do the work.
"Take it, but don't use too much, I'll take a pack with me. When he was roasting, Chu Yan took out a bottle of salt in his backpack and handed it to Meng Xin. I didn't use a plastic bag, it was too easy to break, and it was not easy to seal.
"I'm curious, what's in your package?" asked Liu Xing curiously.
"Hehe, don't underestimate the ability of survival freaks. In order to be able to travel or meet the end of the world at any time, all kinds of survival props are ready. For example, this hand crossbow has twenty rounds of crossbow arrows, and there are three sets of replacement bowstrings and pulley sets!" Chu Madness said proudly.
It took him five years to get together these belongings, and he even worked in the summer to get enough money. Every night when I went to bed, I carried this package of more than 50 pounds on my back and slept in camouflage uniforms. If it weren't for his mother's permission, he would even have to sleep with a mountain knife.
Relatives and friends say that he is a madman, but now he seems to be able to refute others, and he is prepared!
"Snow salt, this is actually snow salt, Your Excellency must be from a family!" Meng Xin took the salt and looked at it carefully, and then couldn't help but exclaim. In the era of the Han Dynasty, the virtues of salt can be imagined, not to mention the value of snow salt.
Not to mention Meng Xin, even the wind was very surprised, it was the first time he saw snow salt when he was so big, Liu Xing couldn't help but shout hell, he knew that Chu Mad was from the civilian class, but when would the commoners be able to take out such good salt casually?
"Cut, it's just ordinary table salt, so much fuss is needed?" Zhang Han, who hadn't read much of the historical documents and didn't know much about history, directly ridiculed that in his opinion, these three feudal remnants just didn't know anything.
With this introduction, everyone chatted a lot easier, but almost all of them were Chu Mad popularizing science, and the other four were listening. When he heard that the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongols, the wind cried, and after hearing that the Mongols were driven back to the grassland by the Ming Dynasty, he laughed again; when he heard that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Liu Xing also hated it, and when he heard that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed by the Republic of China, he sighed in vain.
As for Meng Xin's origin, it is probably clear, but it is from the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, which should be on the eve of the Yellow Turban Uprising. Knowing that the world was in turmoil, the princes were divided, and the last emperor, Liu Xie, was also forced to Zen the throne, and his heart was also full of mixed feelings. After hearing that the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, they ended up in a mess, and they were also angry in their hearts, but they were helpless.
Compared with the other three, he is more calm and more elegant and generous. He is not from the gate lord clan, but a member of a declining family, and his family education is still good. His parents died early, and he didn't have much attachment to Dahan.
Speaking of their parents, the other four couldn't help but be silent. No matter what, when I suddenly came to this ghost place, I don't know how my family is. I don't know if I will go back to that day, I just hope that my parents can live in good health in the original time and space......
But it was Liu Xing who took the lead, kneeling down and kowtowing three times in the direction of his hometown, which was regarded as a compensation to his parents. The other four, even Meng Xin and Feng, whose parents died early, kowtowed three times to the location of their hometown.
After the ceremony, everyone's expressions have changed, and they have obviously begun to slowly accept the reality.
