Chapter 53: Road Encounter
In the laughter from Yang Dongli's mouth from time to time, Hu Biao and a group of 31 people began to move forward along the dirt road.
I don't know what's going on, but after walking for almost half an hour, five or six miles, Hu Biao and the others didn't meet any pedestrians.
But Hu Biao and they don't have to worry, they are going in the wrong direction this way, and they won't be able to catch up.
Because after walking out for two or three miles after departure, I saw a beacon tower on the side of the road, or in the saying of the Ming Dynasty, it was called 'fire road squatting'.
This is a completely earthen platform made of earth, which can have an area of about 200 planes.
Not only was it surrounded by a ring of ditches and walls, but there were also some low earthen houses on it; At the entrance of the suspension bridge, there are three traditional Chinese characters: Suiyuan pier.
At the top of at least ten meters above the ground, a Ming soldier wearing a tattered mandarin duck jacket poked his malnourished head and looked at their group.
Boy! If it weren't for the mandarin duck jacket on his body, which was already heavily colored, and this kind of Ming army's standard military uniform, Hu Biao would have thought that he was a flower child.
Seeing this, Hu Biao shouted loudly at the man:
"The brothers on the pier don't know what to call them, we are all military households who went to Suifeng Dun to report, I don't know if we went in the wrong direction? How far is it from here, and what time is it? ”
Under such a sentence, the Ming army had an indescribably strange expression.
After looking at everyone for a while, there was no enthusiasm after seeing colleagues.
After opening his mouth, he replied in a dialect with a Shanxi accent: "Just call me Zhang San, you are going right now, you will go three more piers and twelve miles ahead."
Now I was about to have just arrived in Shenshi, and I was able to arrive before dark. ”
After hearing this, Hu Biao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Even if they know that with the previous urine of the system, the first task arranged should not be completed so smoothly.
It's three o'clock in the afternoon!
Twelve miles away, everyone sped up a little pace, it should be an hour to arrive, and the time is still relatively abundant.
Then, Hu Biao habitually used the beautiful words of the modern plane and shouted at the thin man: "Thank you, Third Brother Zhang!"
From now on, everyone will be a brother who mixes food with a horse spoon, and there is a chance to drink together. ”
After that, I didn't make it clear what the concept of opportunity was, and continued to move forward.
It wasn't long before it became clear to them that even the relatively easy first phase of the system was not that simple.
******
After continuing to walk three or four miles, Hu Biao and the others met pedestrians for the first time.
To be more precise, in order to get to the wind pier as soon as possible, they all accelerated their pace, so they caught up with a small group of pedestrians
It was a small group of a dozen people, walking in groups; Among them were men and women, elderly people and children in their arms, and they seemed to be acquaintances with each other.
Without exception, these are wearing clothes with many patches.
He was carrying large and small burdens on his body, and his face was full of wind and frost and panic.
At a distance of more than ten meters, Yang Dongli, who was very familiar, stopped bragging and farting with the rookies around him, and shouted enthusiastically at the group:
"Fellow countrymen, where are you coming from, and where are you going?"
In the midst of such shouts, the pedestrians in front of them all stopped, and one of them, an old man wearing a cyan robe and supposed to be the leader, turned around.
While bowing his hand, he replied in his mouth:
"Back to the military masters, we are the people of Xiejia Village, Gaoshan Fort in the east; Isn't this the Tartars who have been plundering everywhere since the Dushikou entered the Great Wall?
I heard that there are fewer traces of Tartars on this side of Pingyuan Fort, so I specially came to take refuge with relatives. ”
Hearing this, Hu Biao and the others couldn't help but sigh.
Even if they are not the natives of this world, from the embarrassed appearance of these people and the bleak tone, you can imagine how difficult it is for them.
So Hu Biao was completely out of kindness, thinking that he could help hold the child and carry the luggage along the way, and said a sentence in his mouth:
"Let's go to the Suifeng Pier in front, we might as well go together and take care of each other."
Who would have thought that the old man and the adult men and women in the crowd were colorless under Hu Biao's statement; The old man even shook his hands, and his mouth was busy refusing:
"No, don't dare to delay the military master's trip, please go first."
After saying that, he hurriedly retreated to the side of the road with everyone, as if he was a little worried and afraid.
Seeing that it was actually this kind of reaction, although he couldn't figure out the situation for a while, Hu Biao could only signal the crowd to continue to move forward and pass over these people who fled the famine......
After walking out for a few minutes, the rookie who was summoned this time.
Lao Hei, the former PLA ground guide retired and is now a pesticide salesman, couldn't help but look back.
Immediately, he could see that the people had also moved, but they kept a distance of more than a hundred meters from them, refusing to approach them.
Seeing this, Lao Hei's heart couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
With a kind heart, I met the feeling of a donkey's liver and lungs.
Fortunately, Lao Hei's unhappiness did not last long; He followed the crowd for another 20 minutes, turning a small dirt slope.
Suddenly, I heard the corn in front of me claiming to be a college student, and a cheer came out of his mouth.
Looking up, he saw the destination this time: Suifeng Dun.
Sure enough, as the Ming border army said before, the place Suifengdun is very easy to find, and you can know it from a distance.
Also as Hu Biao expected, this is actually a fire road platform.
I saw that it was a beacon tower that was several times larger than the beacon tower encountered along the way, or the fire road squatting, which was several times larger, and appeared more than a mile away.
At that time, as long as you go in and take a closer look, Lao Hei will be able to basically determine whether what Lao Yang and that Hu Biao said is true.
When the time comes, decide how to participate in the later tasks.
That's right! Don't look at Lao Hei, Maize, Ah Li and other rookies now, after they are already familiar with Yang Dongli and even Hu Biao, they started chatting with each other.
The content of the small talk is all about the old birds from the last time, and some of the troubles they encountered during the mission.
For example, the famous Western Regions grape wine is not as good as the 9 yuan 9 discount goods in the supermarket.
Those blonde orchids with hot figures, don't look at them all convex and backward, in fact, there is such a sheep smell on their bodies, which is called a top, and ordinary men can't stand it just by smelling it, etc.
Regarding the statements of Hu Biao and others, Lao Hei did not believe it completely.
Everyone is a modern person, and I have watched all kinds of online novels, film and television dramas, and I have not heard any social rumors; The size is that no one is stupider than anyone else.
Even if Yang Dongli said in his mouth, what system task is true, who knows what these old birds are hiding in it.
Of course, there are thoughts about the inner thoughts of rookies, and Hu Biao and a few other old birds are also quite clear.
They weren't too worried about it, believing that the system would soon teach these rookies a lesson, and then let them know the need to huddle together to keep warm.
It's just that it doesn't matter if it's a rookie or an old bird.
Including Hu Biao, the commander of the street, none of them thought that in the near future, the system would be in a way that neither side thought of and absolutely did not want to see.
Let the rookies believe that all of this is true.
