Chapter 3 A sour ride experience
Carrying a homemade canvas bag, Xu Zhengdao, who still got up after eating in the morning, set off in the morning, shuttled through the dense jungle with a light car. It seems to be an easy pace, but it is actually extremely fast.
If someone saw him shuttling through the jungle at the moment, they would probably break out in a cold sweat. Because in the eyes of ordinary people, Xu Zhengdao's travel speed at this moment is almost no different from running fast in the jungle.
You dragon step, from the sign-in system to get the light exercises. After almost two years of cultivation, this light technique has been upgraded from the beginner to the proficient realm. Before the mastery realm, it was skilled, but after that, there were three realms: Xiaocheng, Dacheng and Transformation Realm.
It seemed that the cultivation speed was very slow, but in Xu Zhengdao's opinion, he really worked hard. Even the dragon step of the mastery realm can already allow him to walk in the jungle as if he were walking on the ground. Not to mention other benefits, at least every time you go out of the mountain, it saves a lot of time and effort.
Three years ago, it would take him at least half a day or more to walk from Yunwu Mountain to the nearest road outside the mountain. At that time, after entering the city, he had to find a place to rest for the night, and then take the car back to the mountain the next day.
But now that I have learned to swim the dragon, the journey that originally took several hours has been shortened to less than two hours. Go out of the mountains and enter the city in the early morning, and go out of the city after shopping in the afternoon, and return to the mountains to enjoy the beautiful sunset.
When he appeared on the highway and walked towards the platform not far away, there were already many nearby villagers who were also waiting to enter the city early in the morning. For these villagers who live outside the city, they have to catch an early bus to get into the city.
Unlike the buses in the city, which come and go from time to time, people who live outside the city want to enter the city, so they must estimate the time. There are only a limited number of daily shuttles to and from inside and outside the city, so if you miss a bus, you may have to wait until the next day.
Even if there are not many times to enter the city, Xu Zhengdao still remembers the departure time of the shuttle bus to and from the city every day. The passengers who were waiting for the bus saw Xu Zhengdao carrying a canvas bag, and although they were a little curious, no one stepped forward to ask.
Just when everyone was anxiously waiting, less than ten minutes later, a blue and white shuttle bus finally appeared in everyone's sight. The passengers, who were originally restless, instantly became happy and shouted: "The car is coming, the car is finally here!" ”
For those who live outside the city, there is also a limit to the number of times they can enter the city in a year. Every time they have the opportunity to go into town, they cherish it. But for Xu Zhengdao, the experience of taking a car into the city every time is extremely poor.
Even though the ride was very bad, he still followed behind the other passengers waiting for the bus, squeezing into the extremely sour-smelling shuttle. From time to time, the conductor shouted a few words and bargained with the passengers carrying the goods.
Perhaps because this was the first shuttle bus to enter the city, the passengers on the bus carried a lot of things. When Xu Zhengdao squeezed into the car, he could only carefully bypass the things stacked in the aisle and find a place to stay.
Compared with the conversation of the passengers in his ears, what made Xu Zhengdao most uncomfortable was the sound of chirping and quacling fowl. Because of the presence of these poultry, the whole shuttle bus tasted extremely sour, not to mention, and it was also annoying.
"Alas, this may be the so-called fireworks in the world! But this kind of fireworks will not be felt in the future! ”
Xu Zhengdao, who comforted himself, ignored the noisy sounds in his ears, and grabbed the roof lever armrest and shook his body with the body. When the conductor came, he also handed over the money quickly, and then took a so-called ticket.
From the outside of the city to the inner city, it is more than an hour to drive on the road. Although the outside of the city is not too far from the inner city, the problem is that the shuttle bus stops at the next stop every time it travels, which naturally takes a lot of time.
The most speechless thing is that every time you stop at a platform, there are fewer people going down and more people coming up. Every time a passenger got on the line, the conductor would go crazy and roar with a manic face: "Stand in the back, what is the pestle doing in front?" ”
In these years, the transportation capacity is limited, and there is no overloading of the shuttle. Because of this, every time Xu Zhengdao enters the city, he can experience the taste of 'canned sardines', and he is like the 'sardines' in 'canned food'.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhengdao secretly said in his heart: "If I didn't feel shocked, I really wanted to walk into the city." It seems that it is necessary to find a way to save more money, even if it is to buy a bicycle first, it is much more enjoyable than riding a car now. ”
It's just that what makes him even more helpless is that he still wants to buy things these days, and it's not enough to have money, he also needs the so-called ticket. If you want to buy a bicycle, in addition to needing money, Xu Zhengdao also has to find a way to change the bicycle ticket.
Although many people in the city are riding motorcycles at the moment, Xu Zhengdao feels that buying a motorcycle is too eye-catching. For him at this stage, it is better to try to be low-key outside and not attract too much attention.
The reason for this idea is more because Xu Zhengdao entered the city before, and he also had a general understanding of the parallel time and space he was in. At first, he thought it was time to be reborn back to the plane, but later he found out that this was not the case.
For example, the Xia Kingdom where he is now seems to be no different from his previous life. What really made Xu Zhengdao feel wrong was that the time when Xia Guo successfully developed the 'Big Mushroom' was only ten years later than the neighboring Ice Bear.
To be precise, less than ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xia successfully developed the 'big mushroom'. However, Xu Zhengdao's memories of his previous life clearly told him that in another time and space, the 'Big Mushroom' was successfully developed in the mid-sixties.
Secondly, there are some people in this parallel time and space who are different from ordinary people, such as him, a rookie Xuan Xiu. In addition, before his death, the cheap master told him about some of the so-called disputes in the rivers and lakes, which made Xu Zhengdao feel that this world was so dangerous.
Being in a time and space that is both familiar and unfamiliar, Xu Zhengdao naturally has to be cautious. Even after starting to practice, Xu Zhengdao directly set a rule for himself, that is, 'Stay for a few years first, and then go out of the mountain when you are almost developed'.
The so-called almost developed nature refers to the ability to protect oneself. Although he was an otaku in his previous life, it doesn't mean that Xu Zhengdao doesn't understand anything. In any environment, your own safety is the number one factor. If you can't even save your life, how can you talk about using your fists and kicks?
There is a desire to divert attention, and the originally boring ride seems to be much faster. When I heard the conductor roar in my ears, "It's time to stop!" When I arrived at the station, I packed my things and got off the train quickly. ”
Looking at the passengers who were still full of excitement when they boarded the bus before, but they were swarming out of the car at this moment, Xu Zhengdao also understood that these passengers, like him, were eager to get off the bus and breathe fresh air. The smell in this car is really too sour.
In addition to the smell of poultry feces on the tip of the nose, there was also the smell of sweat produced by the passengers, plus the sour smell of vomiting from some passengers. All in all, these flavors are mixed together, and it really makes people feel extremely 'sour'!
Xu Zhengdao, who got off the bus behind the passengers and finally got down to earth, couldn't help but take a long breath and said, "Alas, I'm finally alive." It's just that the air in this city, compared to the air in the mountains, is several levels worse in quality! ”
For city dwellers at this stage, they are not paying much attention to the so-called air quality problem. Many people have not even solved the problem of food and clothing, so what about the so-called air quality?
Xu Zhengdao, who left the station, soon came to the bus stop outside the station, ready to go to the next destination. If you want to buy the daily necessities on the list, you must first sell the two wild boars that you hunted yesterday.
Although there was still some money on him, more of it was loose silver taels that needed to be sold. The money accumulated by signing in, Xu Zhengdao doesn't want to sell it for the time being. In his opinion, at this stage, it is safer to make money by selling prey.
Sometimes Xu Zhengdao will also complain, this sign-in system is not very humane. If you really want to give money, isn't it better to give some paper money than to scatter silver and two incense? It's a pity that the system seems to only recognize gold and silver as currency, not the so-called paper money!
