Chapter 1 Peach Grove
Cold!
It's cold!
Bitterly cold!
Ye Yan shuddered, woke up from a daze, and entered a dilapidated room, and the biting cold wind penetrated into the room from the cracked walls around him, making him shiver.
It is estimated that because he has not been active for a long time, his feet have been frozen to almost no sense, in order to let his body warm up quickly, he endured the cold wind pouring in from all around, lifted the cover and walked around
After getting out of bed, Ye Yan looked at this room, the room was not very much, about twenty square meters, it was built with a civil structure, and a door two meters high and one meter wide was made on one wall, and a yellowed white cloth was hung on the door as a curtain, covering the situation in the other room.
The two connected rooms are combined into the inner room and the outer room, Ye Yan sleeps in this room, except for an earthen kang, a square table and a few stools, there are no other superfluous furnishings in the room, and it is curious that no electrical appliances were found in this room.
In today's developed society, even in remote mountainous areas, there will be one or two household appliances at home, and there is not even a flashlight here, which makes Ye Yan feel surprised.
After taking a few more steps and lifting the curtain, Ye Yan's brows furrowed, because the situation in the outhouse made him feel even more strange.
The opposite wall was covered with broken swords, broken knives, broken spears, broken armor, and only half of the shields.
On the table under the wall were two intact nine-ring knives and a bull horn bow that only appeared on television, and a spear stood next to the table, and a seemingly intact chain mail with a blood-stained white robe tied to it.
"What's the matter, some rich man's collection room?"
Out of curiosity, Ye Yan walked under the wall of the "collection", reached out and touched the nine-ring knife on the table, the cold blade made Ye Yan quickly withdraw his hand, his eyes stared at the blood groove that had been scabbed and blackened on the knife, and complained, "Blood-drinking knife?"
After looking at the Nine Ring Knife, he rubbed his hands again and picked up the half-human-high horn bow, holding the bow with one hand and the bowstring with the other to try to pull a full moon, but Ye Yan only opened it a little bit with all his strength.
The cold wind blew Ye Yan shivered, shivered, put down the horn bow and walked quickly to the side of the armor, untied the white robe tied to the armor, and put it on his body to resist the cold wind that kept blowing in through the window.
"Squeak"
The cold wind came howling again, the door was opened, and the wind mixed with snowflakes made Ye Yan's body feel agitated again, and subconsciously Ye Yan wrapped the white robe on his body and looked at the door.
The door was opened by a middle-aged man dressed in ancient costume, holding a pile of dry firewood in his arms, and his head and clothes were covered with snowflakes.
After Zhang Jiu, who came by pushing the door, closed the door, he turned his head to find Ye Yan standing there in a white robe looking at himself.
Suddenly, his face sank, as if he had been touched by a taboo, he threw down the firewood in his hand, ran to Ye Yan's side quickly, and without waiting for the other party to react, he grabbed his neck with one hand and said coldly: "Who told you to move this white robe." ”
The cold tone did not contain a trace of emotion, as if the murderous aura of the substance was not concealed at all, like a bloody veteran who was murderous.
Dahan's speed was too fast, so fast that before Ye Yan could react, Dahan grabbed his throat, and at that moment he felt a strong sense of death,
Don't dare to overstimulate the big man, he hurriedly slapped the big man and pinched his hand and explained, "Uncle, I'm sorry, because it's too cold, I saw that there was a robe here and put it on, I really didn't mean to, I'll take it off now." ”
Due to poor breathing, by the time he finished these words intermittently, his face was already a little purple.
Seeing this, the big man also let go of his hand, and said in a cold voice, "Put the robe back and tie it." ”
After that, the big man ignored the other party and walked towards the pile of firewood, picked up the firewood and walked to the back room.
Ye Yan, who escaped death, did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly took off the white robe from himself and tied it to the armor, he would never doubt that if he continued to wear this white robe, the big man would definitely kill him.
After tying up the white robe, I realized that what had just happened didn't seem right, the strange ancient costume couldn't tell the dynasty, it was incredibly fast, and everything here on this strange "collection wall" revealed a trace of weirdness.
Because it was too weird, Ye Yan had to suppress the idea of leaving here, and decided to go back to the back room to find out the situation with the big man, he didn't believe that this was filming.
As soon as he entered the inner room, Ye Yan found that the big man was sitting on a stool and roasting leisurely.
The other party didn't say a word when he saw Ye Yan coming in, and continued there with a wooden stick and firewood, trying to make the fire burn higher.
The two people in the simple room were silent, and after a while, Zhang Jiu saw Ye Yan standing there without the slightest appearance of wanting to come over.
So he put down the wooden stick in his hand, patted the other stool next to him and said, "Do you want to come over and bake the fire, after all, this ghost weather is too cold, don't worry, if you want to kill you, it will be solved just now, don't be so nervous." ”
"Good!"
Ye Yan hesitated when he heard Dahan's words, and after making sure that his life should not be in danger, he was not polite, walked over quickly, sat on another stool, stretched out his hand and roasted it.
"Boy, do you have anything to ask, look at you standing there and cowering really not like a man, if you have anything you want to ask, don't squirm like a girl."
Dahan didn't take the matter of almost strangling Ye Yan to death just now, but said with a smile
"Although I almost strangled you just now, it was just an accident, and so-and-so was not a murderer." Dahan saw that Ye Yan still looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and explained
Ye Yan looked at the scar on the big man's face, and muttered in his heart,
"Don't kill? As for the liar, if you hadn't reacted quickly and didn't act aggressively, you would have been strangled to death. ”
Although he muttered this in his heart, he still pretended to be respectful and asked the question in his heart.
"Uncle, what is this place, and how did I get here?"
"This is a small mountain village on the northern border of Taolin Village, and I am the hunter here." The big man picked up the stick again and picked up the fire and replied
"Northern Xinjiang? Taolin Village? , so I encountered a wormhole in time and space. Ye Yan couldn't help but think in his mind
As for how he crossed here, Ye Yan only remembered that the plane met a thunderstorm in his mind, and he didn't have any other impression at all.
"I don't know how you got here, but when I went up the mountain to chop firewood in the early morning, I found you lying on the side of the road, and you had already fainted from the cold, so I brought you back."
"But the boy sees that your skin is fair and delicate, and even the clothes and materials on your body are extraordinary, not at all like the appearance of a monk, why is your hair so short, you must know that your body is affected by your parents, you are really unfilial like this." Dahan was puzzled.
Ye Yan touched his short hair, thought about how to explain it to Dahan, and heard Dahan say it again.
"Forget it, everyone has their own secrets, and now that you're all right, do you want to stay here or leave?" Seeing Ye Yan's embarrassment, Dahan immediately waved his hand and didn't ask Ye Yan more.
Ye Yan thought with a wry smile, leaving? Where to go? If you make a plane, you will come to this world inexplicably, and you don't know if you can go back, so it is better to stay and wait to understand the basic situation of this world to make plans.
Since he planned to stay, Ye Yan didn't think much about it, and immediately replied, "Uncle, I am already homeless in the future, where can I go if I leave, it is better to stay and be a companion with my uncle, so as to repay my uncle's life-saving grace in the future." ”
"What is life-saving or not life-saving, it is not easy to survive in this year's chaos, since you plan to stay, you can live here, there are two empty houses in the east of the village, wait a moment to clean up, just settle down here."
"There is also the name of another uncle and uncle, the surname of a certain family is Zhang, as for the name, it doesn't matter, a certain line nine among several brothers, you can call me Lao Zhang or Lao Jiu, everyone in the village is called so. You can also call it, Wen Crepe is not used to hearing it. ”
Although the other party said so, but after all, it was Zhang Jiu who rescued him, if Zhang Jiu didn't bring him back, he would have become an ice sculpture now.
In politeness, Ye Yan also felt that the other party was worthy of his uncle, of course, Ye Yan did not forget that Zhang Jiu almost strangled himself just now, and he had to take revenge on the other party when he had the opportunity.
"Uncle Nine has a life-saving grace for the kid, how dare you call the benefactor so arbitrarily, the kid's surname is Ye, thank you Uncle Nine for saving his life." Ye Yan learned from the ancients and bowed to Zhang Jiu after speaking.
Seeing that Ye Yan insisted on doing this, the big man didn't say anything, but groped around and took out a key from his body and threw it to Ye Yan and said
"This is the key to the house in the east of the village, the original owner of the house was a friend of a certain person, and later was killed by Qi soldiers when he went into the mountains to hunt, where is the house empty, wait for a certain to take you to Widow Li's place to get two futons to live in."
"There are no idlers in the village, since you have decided to settle here, after the beginning of spring, you can choose a field that no one cultivates and sow it well.
In the future, you will depend on yourself for food and clothing, and there is still rich food in the village, so you will make do with a certain one this winter, and of course you will have to pay it back later.
There is also the country of Qi over the mountain on the edge of the village, the armies of various countries have been fighting in the past two years, try not to enter the mountain, if the soldiers of the country of Qi find out, they will be killed directly, take your head to exchange for military merits. ”
Ye Yan took the key and listened patiently when he heard Zhang Jiu's advice.
After a while, Ye Yan finished his first meal after coming to this world, and walked out of the leaky house with Zhang Jiu and went to Widow Li's house.
Dilapidated, barren This is Ye Yan's first feeling after going out, walking on the path covered by heavy snow, looking at the curved thatched house that is pressed by the snow, he silently sighed in his heart, "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, is this the life of ancient times?"
When Zhang Jiu brought Ye Yan over, Widow Li was standing on the wooden ladder to clear the snow on the roof, and when she saw Zhang Jiu coming over, she hurriedly came down from the ladder and greeted them.
Zhang Jiu and Ye Yan stood in front of the fence courtyard and did not go in, there were many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and in ancient times, they paid attention to reputation, the two just said a few words to each other at the door, and gave her two hares that they had brought when they came to change two quilts, Ye Yan took the futon and wrapped it around his body and left with Zhang Jiu.
On the way, Zhang Jiu and Ye Yan talked about Widow Li's husband, a few years ago, in the border war between Northern Xinjiang and Qi State, Widow Li's husband was conscripted into the army and died in that war, and Widow Li, who had no pillar at home, could only support herself and a six-year-old child by doing some needlework.
Fortunately, the villagers usually take care of Widow Li's family, and whoever needs a new bedding or makes a new dress will come to her, and she will not worry about food and clothing in a few years.
While walking and chatting, after a while, Zhang Jiu took Ye Yan to the place where Zhang Jiu's friend lived.
The house is also fenced around it, unlike other villagers, it is made of mud and stones, after opening the door and entering, Ye Yan found that there were several wooden stakes for practice on both sides, as well as various weapons, knives, guns, sticks, axes, hooks and forks, which were arranged on both sides of the yard, and the stone locks used for weightlifting were also stacked under the corner of one wall, and the smallest stone lock was estimated to be seventy or eighty pounds.
It seems that Zhang Jiu's friend is also a fierce man, otherwise who would put so many objects for martial arts training at home
Walking through the small courtyard and pushing open the door of the room, there was no musty smell that had been uninhabited for a long time, but there was a faint fragrance in the air, which couldn't help but make Ye Yan sniff his nose and smell it twice.
"Uncle Jiu, it's much more comfortable here than you, and it's clean" On the way here, Ye Yan obviously got acquainted with Zhang Jiu a lot, and he was not so restrained when he spoke, but joked about Zhang Jiu, it can be regarded as a small revenge for the fact that he almost strangled himself.
Zhang Jiu glared at Ye Yan and said dissatisfiedly: "That kid is like a girl, he cleans himself up all day long, gives him a big red robe, and others will think that someone's girl ran out." ”
"Besides, it's better than a certain family here, and only you white-faced scholars are so clean, and I can't wait to rub some rouge gouache on my body every day, if you want to say that you still have a sweaty smell, then it is called comfortable, otherwise what kind of man is it?"
After speaking, Zhang Jiu also smelled the smell on his clothes, revealing an intoxicated expression.
And Ye Yan, who was standing next to him, instantly felt a chill, his body couldn't help but move slightly, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, "No wonder it smells so bad on your body, how long has it been since you took a bath!" ”
After a few jokes, Ye Yan thought of the dilapidated house that was leaking everywhere, and couldn't help patting Zhang Jiu's shoulder and said, "That Uncle Jiu, I see that there is still a spare house here, or you can move here and live together, after all, this cold and windy house is better than a broken wall." ”
"No, it's very comfortable to live somewhere, it's good for you to stay here by yourself, you can go to a certain place for dinner, and you will go into the mountains in the afternoon, and you will come back early tomorrow morning, so I won't eat with you."
