Chapter Forty-Eight: The People Who Live Underground
Ignoring these and having my own space, I quickly took off my robe, which was really sticky and unbearable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info was just about to take off his own clothes inside, and he was disgusted by the smell of his own sweat. I asked Changfeng with a bitter face: "Can you ask them where they are bathing, I am about to stink to death." By the way, I have to go to the toilet first, I haven't drunk less milk in that pot, and I've been suffocating for half a day. ”
Changfeng slapped his forehead: "How did you forget this big event." After that, he went to the old man.
After a few minutes, Changfeng came out with two sets of clean new clothes and two new towels and took me to the yard. There was also a stone door in the far corner opposite the toilet, and when I pushed open this stone door, I removed a thin stone slab on the ground, and it turned out that there was a well here. The mouth of the well is not very large, and there is a stone trough next to it, and on the edge of the trough is a piece of soap. What's even more interesting is that there is a drain plug in the stone trough, and when I looked at it, the waste water went straight through a sink into the ditch at the base of the wall, and it seemed that the people here lived a regular life. Changfeng brought water from the well, poured it into the stone trough, and covered the treasures tightly with clothes, and Changfeng and I took a warm well bath in broad daylight. Then I washed the close-fitting clothes briefly and put on new clothes. The new clothes also included underwear and panties, which were woven from the same white cotton cloth.
After everything was cleaned up, I glanced at the time, and my phone showed that it was 12:15, according to the previous time, it should be more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I finally lay down on the stone bed. This bed is not very big, and it is barely enough to sleep two people. But I unceremoniously took up more than half of it, and then I said comfortably to Changfeng: "But I can be suffocated, tell me quickly, what kind of disease that child has, can you really cure it? How did you think that you came to treat the disease on purpose, this time you washed away my crimes, and your heart is so relaxed." ”
Changfeng was so squeezed that he could only lie on his side on the bed, turned his back to me and said, "I saw that there was a medicinal herb shop before, and there were a lot of herbs there, which could be used for the treatment of many diseases, so I came up with the idea to say that. There is a breath of qi in Xiao Aisha's body that is retrograde, maybe you grabbed their things just now, he was excited, and he will have a seizure and stuff a mouthful of blood in his chest. His disease can be cured, but it will take a few days to do it, and he can do without medicine, but I need to give him injections every day, and it should be okay for five days, and then it will be determined depending on the situation.
Their ancestors and grandchildren are in average condition, let's not take it seriously, it is the old man who has saved up for several years to prepare for his grandson's marriage. Just now I gave him another piece of silver and told him to buy two sets. Sure enough, the only currencies they have here are copper coins and silver coins, and the broken silver can only be used if they go to the silver store to exchange it.
Silverware is only used by a very small number of people, and I don't know if the fat man will be angry with others because of this, and I hope it is better not to implicate others for this. It's afternoon here, let's not waste people's food, I've told my dad that we'll sleep until tomorrow. Tomorrow, we will strive to integrate into their lives and find Sun Daming's whereabouts as soon as possible. ”
I hurriedly gave up the pillow to Changfeng Pillow, and stuffed the set of clothes I took in the soldier's dormitory in my backpack, and the pillow was okay. And gave up a place for Changfeng, who looked at my actions, smiled, turned around and went to sleep.
Listening to the sound of his thin breathing, I suddenly couldn't sleep, but we were more than 2,000 meters underground, what if there was an earthquake? Isn't it true that there is such a group of people living underground? Sun Daming, are you here?
I thought that Changfeng said that he would sleep until tomorrow was just talking, but I didn't expect that when I opened my eyes, the sky outside the window was already slightly translucent in the darkness. I looked at the phone, and there was only seven percent of the battery left, showing 0.20 points, and then referring to the previous time difference, it should be more than four o'clock in the morning. I was a little hungry, so I sat up, and Changfeng was still in the same position as when I was sleeping, with a coat on my body and a blanket all over me. I covered him with a blanket and went out into the yard. I first touched the toilet, solved the big thing, and then sat down on the stone bench in the yard.
Looking at the distant blue sky with some stars and of course a crescent moon, sit there softly. I only blame myself for not studying astronomy well before, I don't know anything about the stars. Changfeng said that the sun during the day is man-made, so are the stars and the moon at night also man-made? I don't understand, what kind of people want to build such a world? How do people live in this world? Why is it that the temperature here is so suitable for more than 2,000 meters underground, and compared with the high temperature of more than 40 degrees outside the stone gate, it is really heaven and hell, and this is inexplicable.
The door opened, and Changfeng came out and sat down beside me. He said: "If it is normal weather, the temperature at this time should be slightly cooler, but the fact is that from the time we came in to the present, we have been in a constant temperature environment, which is contrary to the laws of nature." Now the top priority is to find Sun Daming, and don't think about anything else. ”
I nodded, it was less than half a month before my next illness, and now that I have arrived in such a strange and special place, it is not easy to find Sun Daming. Now, we haven't even seen Sun Daming's shadow, and we just ran to this place more than 2,000 meters underground based on Jin Peng's words that I don't know if it is credible, and we are afraid to think about it. But since you have come, it is impossible to return without results. Although we are not newborn calves, we are also men with strong blood, so we are afraid.
Changfeng said approvingly: "Yes, you have to think like this." Take things as they come. Also, we are not sure that we will not be separated, and if there is real danger, you must remember the way you came, prepare food, and escape. ”
I listened to Changfeng's explanation, my mood suddenly became heavy, I grabbed Changfeng's hand, and I said eagerly: "Don't be separated from me, I don't want to run away alone, we just arrived here, can you be optimistic, don't say those depressing words." ”
Changfeng smiled: "I just said in case, okay, if there is danger, we will run out hand in hand." ”
It was the first time I heard Changfeng's sensational words, and my heart was hot, and I shook his hand tightly before letting go. Turning his gaze to the air again: "Do you recognize the stars? Are they random or arranged according to the stars in the sky?"
"You see, the northernmost star is the North Star, the brightest next to the Moon is Venus, which is the Morning Star, and the other is Jupiter. It's no different from what we see at home. Now that it's almost dawn, we can't see many stars, and if it's a starry night sky, I'll tell you about it. However, for the man-made starry sky, it can be regarded as a miracle that it can be embodied in accordance with the laws of nature. But how come I haven't seen that star?"
I looked at the place where Changfeng pointed and saw a very large and bright star in the southwest direction not far from the moon, which was particularly dazzling. I scratched my head, I didn't even know about it. Changfeng said: "I am not mistaken, there has never been a star like that, and it is still so big and so bright. ”
I said, "Maybe it's to make an extra bright star for the night light." ”
Changfeng stared at it and didn't say anything more.
We sat in silence until dawn and the sun rose in the east. Sure enough, as soon as the sun came out, it was as dazzling as during the day, instead of the fiery morning sun that I usually saw. Just as he was about to get up and enter the house, the old man pushed the door and went out. Changfeng opened his mouth first and said hello, and the old man enthusiastically let us into the house, it turned out that he had already made breakfast. Young Aisha also sat up, and it seemed that he was recovering well. He was also happy to say hello to us, very polite.
Breakfast is very simple, it is a bowl of sparse stuff that I have never seen before. I took a sip, it was hot, milky, oily, sweet, and put a lot of sugar. It seems that there is also flour, and the taste is fragrant and sweet. The old man warmly beckoned us to eat, saying that it was called Alewa, and it was very delicious. Seeing Aisha eating beautifully, this simple breakfast should also be eaten by entertaining guests. Changfeng said that "this thing is very calortic, don't be too greedy." ”
Changfeng knew that I was a foodie, so he told me so. The things are so delicious, if Changfeng doesn't say it, I'm really going to put everything in his basin in a bowl. Aisha glared at me, probably seeing that I was eating well, afraid that I would eat more. I hurriedly pulled the last bite into my mouth and pushed the bowl aside to reassure the little boy. And he pushed the basin towards him in a flattering manner, and he ate it with joy. Changfeng and the old man looked at each other and smiled. Sadly, my dignified Mr. Lin has been reduced to the point of pleasing little children.
After breakfast, we went out with them and Rahman took us to the silver store. Changfeng had already made his big silver ingot into many small pieces, exchanged it for a bag of silver coins, and exchanged a few silver coins for some copper coins, and then walked out of the silver shop. The fat man actually came to buy milk again, but this time he was holding a thermos. The things in this underground ancient city are really down-to-earth, no, it's really connected, haha.
An acquaintance greeted Reheman, and he was very surprised to see Aisha jumping around. Rahman proudly introduced them to Changfeng and me. I was quite uncomfortable, but Changfeng greeted them warmly. I said in my heart, it's too high-profile, aren't you afraid of attracting attention? Changfeng said: "It is to attract attention, Sun Daming must be in contact with upper-class figures, and we must also attract the attention of upper-class figures." ”
I see, I walked behind him with peace of mind. Rahman went to buy groceries and asked Aisha to accompany us around. Aisha happily showed us the way, but there were too many people and we managed to get out of the bazaar.
