Chapter 14: The Lonely Boat in the Hanhai Sea

It has been several days since I came to this era, and Xia Fan is slowly adapting to the customs and everything here.

The customs are slowly adapting, the food is slowly adapting, the weather is slowly adapting, and the mentality is slowly adapting.

Although Xia Fan only lived for twenty-eight years in modern times, the knowledge brought by modern society was quite okay in this ancient era.

These days, he has been walking north, and he is about to enter the mountains, Xia Fan can feel that his body can adapt to this era and face this arduous journey calmly.

It feeds on meat, insects, berries, and some primitive corn grass, although it is not delicious, and the cooking method is far inferior to the modern society where Xia Fan lives, but it is still primitive and pollution-free. As long as there is cooked food, it is completely acceptable to Xia Fan. It is estimated that the bacterial flora in Xia Fan's gut is also slowly adapting to this era.

The ancestors of human beings went out of Africa, survived the fittest in the tide of natural selection, multiplied to this day, and survived several great human migrations; All the way to the north, stepping on the Eurasian continent, and then surviving after thousands of years of conquest and migration in the land of China, Xia Fan's high-precision instrument should have fully adapted to the era and urban environment in which he lived.

Relatively speaking, Xia Fan's body should be far ahead of this era, and he should have a lot of antibodies in his body that these ancient people did not have.

Like after passing through the Taoyuan tribe, Xia Fan didn't do anything at all, but Xiaoyu was sick.

Xia Fan came here, in addition to making him feel stronger and cold, it was his hearing that added a leveling buff to him, making his hearing an order of magnitude better than the previous era of urban settlement, which may be Xia Fan's talent given to him by God when he crossed over, or Xia Fan accidentally ate some immortal grass in this era, which made him greatly strengthened.

It's not like the body suddenly rises in such a short period of use. But in any case, it would be nice to have strengthened.

Xia Fan also got to know a lot of ancient savages and natives here, they or they are all so vivid, like modern people who work hard to live in the city, including Xia Fan himself.

The only thing Xia Fan felt powerless was the huge gap between the responsibilities given to him by this era and his own abilities.

It is very similar to the sentence: In the initial stage of socialism, the main contradiction in our society is the contradiction between the people's ever-growing material and cultural needs and the backward social relations of production. It's the same here.

Xia Fan was very powerless in the face of the things around him, on the one hand, Xia Fan knew that he had some orders of magnitude higher technology and awareness, but in terms of the limitations of the surrounding materials and the understanding and operation limitations of the ancients, it was impossible for him to change this era by himself, and in this era full of primitiveness and advocating violence, his physical fitness and force value felt far from keeping up with this era.

This is an era of advocating violent force, compared to the ears of the wolf and the eyes of the eagle, to be honest, Xia Fan wants to strengthen the force value, what the speed of the leopard, and the strength of the bear.

As for Brother Xiong's stone hammer, the stone is made of the remnants of a meteorite, as if it contains iron minerals, and the wooden handle is made of 10,000-year-old sunken wood in the water, and it is inlaid with a very clever mortise and tenon structure.

His stone axe, two Xia Fan can't lift it, but he can extract it at will, dancing like a tiger.

'If I had this combat power, my decision at the beginning might be very different, maybe I wouldn't have agreed to Clan Gil to come to this Evil Dragon Mountain, I would choose to go to the south, maybe I would use my strength in both civil and military forces to become the king of the tribes in the south, and then marry a few petite wild women in the south, and give birth to a number of heroes in the Water Margin, maybe I will be an immortal king like Xia Qi." ’

Thinking about this, the corners of Xia Fan's mouth curved upward, and he smiled a little.

But, hey, I got the tech tree wrong, it has no power, no magic, it's just intelligence. I was dressed in what they thought was the prophet Dana, with no magic or supernatural powers. I can't imagine the ability of a necromancer like the Lord of the Rings to summon a corrupted and twisted soul and infuse it with a corrupt body of death to work for itself. The elves see ghosts, track them for thousands of miles, are immune to all diseases, and have extraordinary healing abilities. I am satisfied with the transfiguration of a human being, I can be friendly with animals, have a deep sense of nature, and can turn myself into the image of an animal and hide my whereabouts. ’

'Alas, alas! I had nothing but a height of 74 meters and a slightly chubby weight of 74 kilograms. To tell the truth, I left their primitive friends, I don't think I can survive, I can't catch up with these mountains of animals like cattle and sheep, I can't fight, if I go south and meet some cannibal tribe, I won't be skinned and dug up by them, knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow? ’

'I'm not Bei Ye or Brother De, my physical fitness, consciousness ability, and psychological state are all far behind. ’

"Maybe there's no magic in Middle-earth, only racial talent." I wish I could be like Gandalf, with the power of Maia to cast light in Middle-earth. Xia Fan said in his heart.

Maybe these are just hopes in a dream, Xia Fan doesn't want to lie down and be a salted fish, he wants to become an unborn hero in this world.

Maybe thousands of years later, it will go down in history and be famous for eternity.

I want to live well, whether I can go back or not, whether it is now, now, and in the future, I hope that I can leave here alive, I can reunite with my family, I hope to go back to Xiaoxia, and I also hope that I can live well in this world and times for the time being." ’

Positive change for this generation.

'Though I am a speck of dust that has to exist. In fact, it's not just Xia Fan, we are all dust.

The Kailaya Supercluster, where our Earth is located, travels with about three trillion trillion planets, and we follow it, drifting along with the Milky Way and the Solar System in this boundless space-time, while the Earth shuttles through the vast universe at a speed of 600 kilometers per second.

We are above it, but we don't feel it.

Human beings are like bacteria or dust clinging to a football, small and arrogant cuteness.

We can't jump out of ourselves, just as the planet can't jump out of its solar system, the Milky Way, the supercluster.

Maybe jumping out of a hundred billion dimensions, we may be God's playthings.

In the face of the universe, even the planets are lonely, let alone you and me.

Deep in Xia Fan's heart, a deep sense of powerlessness struck fatefully.

Xia Fan wants to change his fate, he wants to keep a quiet and stable heart.

But how can it be still? How can there be stillness between heaven and earth? Everything in the armillary sky is in motion, just look at who you compare, take the earth as a reference, the earth is just a rotation, with Ethernet as a reference, it is a revolution, with the Milky Way as a reference, it is flying, with the larger the galaxy as a reference, the faster the earth will run, there is no absolutely stationary object in the universe.

There is nothing absolutely static, and there is nothing that does not disturb the heart, how can we maintain this quiet and stable heart.

Xia Fan dragged his groggy body, came back groggily, and fell asleep again.

Snuggled up to the pig beast, its snoring was not small, and it was groggy until dawn.

The slope was foggy.

Siye couldn't see it at all. I don't know when Brother Hei will come back.

When they got up in the morning, the wolf was gone, the turtle was gone, and the one-eyed dragon was nowhere to be found.

Last night, Xia Fan remembered that the one-eyed dragon was shot by Hei and rolled down the grassy slope.

Xiaoyu's body is a little better and she can eat slowly.

The wolf at the eating stall came back out of breath, glanced at Xia Fan, and ran up to see Xiaoyu.

Xia Fan deliberately asked everyone where the one-eyed dragon had gone.

Everyone said they didn't know, but the tiger and leopard brothers were whistling loudly in the valley, and they stood on a high place and looked around, looking around for half a sound, but there was no sound. Where can you find it, the one-eyed dragon is supposed to be dead.

Black walked over and said that there was a mark left by the cyclops ahead, and thought he had stepped on the road beforehand.

Didn't you shoot the one-eyed dragon?

Xia Fan pretended not to know, the fight he saw last night was vivid, and Xia Fan knew that the one-eyed dragon should have been killed by the turtle and the black team.

I didn't say a few words to the one-eyed dragon this way, and that night I saw the one-eyed dragon conspiring with those harpoon-wielding savages, and if it was cut off by the turtle, it would be just a spy. But after all, it is the people around him, the one-eyed dragon often helps everyone lead the way, and also helps Xia Fan to hold the nose rope of the pig and the beast, which has been very helpful along the way, although he can't talk about how deep his feelings are, but he can't help but sigh.

The team is not big, it hasn't gone up the mountain yet, and there is already one person missing.

After waiting for a while, they had to continue on the road, with the leopard and Xiaoyu falling behind, and everyone continued to walk forward.

Crossing a small stream, Xin filled the clay pot with water, caught a few small fish, cut off his belly, hung it on his body with a straw rope, and collected a red berry that could be found in the vicinity along the way, presumably to prepare the ingredients for noon.

The ecology in ancient times was quite good, and there were plants and animals everywhere that could be used, and they were original.

Crossing the creek and turning a few more valleys, it was obvious that there was more and more sandy laterite, and climbed up a sandy slope, this sandy slope was the commanding height nearby, and looking ahead, in the distance were overlapping and continuous peaks, and the highest mountain of the evil dragon in the distance was still emitting black smoke, and it was getting closer and closer to the team.

There is a short stretch of flat land in front of you, but it is also the only flat land, and then there is the red clay and yellow sand full of eyes, and the colorful hills in the shape of colorful danxia are layered on top of each other, stretching into the distance. It is very similar to the colorful Danxia scenic spot in Zhangye, with thin-layered mudstone, sandy mudstone, shale interlayered, yellow-brown, purple-red, gray-black, gray-green, and other colors complementing each other, the combination is orderly, and it is very rich in rhythm and layering.

Danxia landform shows different colors due to the different chemical components of sandstone, yellow-brown is sulfur minerals, orange-red is ferric tetroxide and ferric oxide substances, white is sodium hydroxide, gray is aluminum sediments, green is copper-containing substances, black is manganese-containing substances, and purple is phosphorus-containing substances......

In this stretch of colorful Danxia landform, the hillside winds along the mountain like waves, and the colored sandstone is spread on the mountain like a huge satin, pouring and unrestrained with ancient passions, rhythms and dancing with eternal songs.

Some people say that the Danxia landform is like a rainbow left by the heavens in the world.

Xia Fan felt that this was God overturning his paint plate, or that this was God's color palette in itself.

"The year old Danxia day is near. By asking for hospitality, why meet Landu. "Let's forget about this treacherous, treacherous journey, and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.

The distant mountains are dark and brown, and there are many trees at the foot of the high mountains, and they are heavy green, and this Danxia sandy slope is like the edges of hair deliberately cut off by earth scissors, and it is very neatly separated from the distant mountains and the plants at the foot of the distant mountains from the withered yellow grasslands.

Xia Fan and his party walked into this palette, and it was already noon.

Let's take a short break to rehydrate. The sand here is very hard, there is very little moisture, a bit of an alien feeling, and there is a termite nest found next to a small dirt slope, the huge shape and various honeycomb cavities and dense termites make the scalp tingle. But they are so well divided, and in these large and small hollows, they go in and out of them, in an orderly manner, like a huge city and its inhabitants, and everyone has their own duties.

Xia Fan got off the back of the pig beast and watched with interest while drinking water. Xiaoyu was on the back of the elk, drank some water, and the white mongoose was in her arms, Xiaoyu thought that her condition had improved in the past two days, she didn't vomit, she didn't molt anymore, her face was a lot ruddy, but after all, she wasn't as lively as before, and the whole team had a lot less fun.

At that moment, a haystack next to it made a noise. The one-eyed dragon is back? A giant proboscis emerges from it. There's a little beast on his back. It was yellow-brown all over, its eyes were very small, and it moved very slowly, as if it hadn't noticed Xia Fan and his party at all, it went straight to the giant termite nest, and used its forelimbs to dig a small hole in the termite nest, and many termites crawled all over it in an instant, only to see that it was not in a hurry, stretched out a long tongue like a whip, and the tongue was full of mucus, sweeping and licking on the body unhurriedly, and the termites were swept into its stomach. Not only does it feed itself, but from time to time it wraps termites into something like a rice ball for the little beast on its back to eat.

Dan said that the animal was poisonous and could be caught and dried for medicine, but it was best not to eat it directly. In Xia Fan's impression, this is like a modern anteater, but there are many differences, much bigger, and different skin.

Dan said that this termite is inherently poisonous, and this animal specializes in termites and a lot of poisonous food, so its body is full of toxins, and if it is not for the poisonous meat, it is estimated that several of them will have to do something to it again. After all, after the team went to the mountains, there were definitely not as many animals as in the plains. The current food reserve is only two days' supply, and there is nothing to eat later. It is not known how long I will be in the mountains.

Continue on the road, and find some insects in this Danxia slope as you walk, which Xia Fan doesn't eat.

Along the way, I ate some dried meat at will, drank some water, and did not stop, here is sometimes quiet, so quiet that people are suffocating, occasionally a whirlwind rolls up a pillar of yellow sand and rises into the air, there is an inexplicable quiet atmosphere, sometimes the wind blows fiercely, flying sand and stones, the momentum seems to want to wipe out the whole natural world under its obscenity, which is fearful and helpless.

The group just wanted to hurry to the foot of the opposite mountain, and the woods might be the best shelter for everyone.

When it was almost evening, Xia Fan and his party had already come to the edge of the entire forest, and the sound of gurgling water could be heard in the distance. This is a forest at the foot of the mountain, with a mix of broad-leaved forests and coniferous forests, deep shrubs, and a good ecology and a lot of mosquitoes.

Bury the pot to cook, and soon the sun will set, and the moon here is actually basically in the sky, but it is not clear during the day, and the light is slightly dim at night, so it appears above the head like a big and dark moon, providing light for Xia Fan and them.

In the past few days, Xia Fan has noticed a problem, although he does not bring any modern machine to measure time, no mobile phone, no watch, but it is obvious that the day here is longer than the day in the world he has been in, if it is not much longer, Xia Fan is impossible to feel, he cannot have the sensibility of the blind man A Bing in "Secret Calculation", A Bing can feel the error of a few seconds a day, and Xia Fan can only feel the difference of a large part of time.

At first, Xia Fan still felt that it was the difference in mood, too many things around him, and the difficulty of the journey that made him feel that it had been a long time, but when he walked this section of Danxia Slope today, he thought that the day here was much longer than the day in the world he was used to, and it was much longer, so long that he could completely find this feeling.

It's strange that this ancient day feels very long, and the day here is much longer than the earth.

Will the rotation time of the ancient earth grow so long, Xia Fan thought: Is the earth spinning faster and faster?
