Gray sky, bleak wind and cold rain.

The dense drizzle pierced straight down, like embroidery needles.

The bare tree trunks on the side of the road made a "salala" crashing sound, and the air was filled with a strong earthy smell and the sour smell of rotting corpses, which was disgusting.

On both sides of the road, hungry people in ragged clothes and withered walked numbly.

As he walked, someone fell to the ground!

Soon, three or five hungry people rushed out of the crowd and dragged the bodies of the fallen people to the side of the road......

I don't know how long after, a frightened and crazy shout sounded on the path in the distance.

Accompanied by a frightened cry, there was a burst of breaking air in the rain curtain.

The hungry people, who still had strength, looked up.

I saw a young man, frantically waving the wooden stick in his hand, driving away a hungry gray hungry wolf with red eyes.

Several gray hungry wolves fought in unison, constantly testing the young man.

The young man blocked left and right, and at the same time kept retreating towards the main road not far behind.

Seeing this scene, no one on the road stepped forward to help, but just looked at it from a distance with a numb expression, and even some of the hungry people showed a hideous look in their eyes when they saw the delicate flesh on the young man's arm.

The young man's name is Han Ze.

About three or four hours ago, or more, he was lying on his bed in the rental house, playing with a silver badge he had picked up on his morning interview, and then he fell asleep looking at it.

When I opened my eyes, I was transported to this wild and strange world.

Although he was extremely frightened and unwilling to believe it, he had no time to think about what was going on, because a hungry wolf was eyeing him.

The hungry wolves of this world, even if they are hungry and full of bones, are bigger than the ones he has ever seen.

He kept moving through the wilderness, but the hungry wolf followed him from a distance.

Later, one hungry wolf became three......

Han Ze, who was extremely frightened in his heart, had blue muscles on his face and a hideous expression.

While waving a stick, he shouted loudly to intimidate the eager hungry wolf, and at the same time called for help in the direction of the main road.

It's a pity that the hungry people on the road don't want to help, and the few hungry people who look at him also reveal the madness of hungry wolves in their eyes.

Seeing that it was less than twenty meters away from the road ahead, the hungry wolf on the left took advantage of the gap where Han Ze turned his head to observe, and launched an attack.

Han Ze, who turned around, didn't think about it, and slapped a stick on the head of the hungry wolf on the left, and the hungry wolf let out a muffled cry of "whoop" and retreated a few steps back.

At the same time, the hungry wolf directly in front and on the right also attacked at the same time.

Click-

A large piece of Han Ze's shirt on his right arm was torn off, and the sharp wolf claws left three bloody marks on his arm.

At the same time, the frontal hungry wolf had already pounced on him to the ground, and the bloody mouth bit at the neck.

"."

Out of the instinct of survival, Han Ze threw away the stick in his hand and pressed his two hands against the jaw of the hungry wolf.

He could even smell the disgusting stench of a hungry wolf's mouth.

However, the other two hungry wolves had already pounced on him and bit him on his left and right thighs.

At this critical moment, there was a sound of "boom" breaking the air in my ears.

The hungry wolf, who was lying on his chest, had his head pierced through by an arrow, and his body was flipped out by the kinetic energy carried by the arrow.

didn't even snort, just died.

The other two hungry wolves, with quite high agility, immediately gave up the thigh meat that had reached their mouths and prepared to flee at the moment when their companions were shot.

Woohoo!!

With the sound of two more arrows, the two hungry wolves ran out less than three meters before they were nailed to the mud pit, their tail feathers still trembling.

The two hungry wolves were not yet dead, and their mouths let out painful whimpering.

Han Ze, who was lying in the mud, gasped for breath, his whole body was constantly trembling because of fear and overexertion.

Still, he managed to get up from the mud and look at the "man who saved his life."

I saw that on the road more than ten meters away, a team of cars and horses were quietly parked in the rain, and more than a dozen men with sturdy bodies and indifferent expressions on the car were also looking at him.

These sturdy men are in stark contrast to the scrawny hungry people on the side of the road.

In the middle of the caravan, a woman wearing a hat and a cloak and carrying a bow and arrows shouted impatiently: "What are you doing there, why don't you leave?" ”

"Here we are."

When Han Ze heard this, he hurriedly stepped on the mud and walked towards the convoy.

When I got closer, I found that the woman on the chestnut horseback was very young, about in her early twenties, with a goose egg face, red phoenix eyes, slender eyebrows, and although her complexion was slightly dark and rough, it could not hide her vigorous and heroic appearance.

"Thank you for saving me." Han Ze had never been so heartfelt grateful to a stranger in his life.

The heroic woman riding on the high-headed horse said with an indifferent expression: "Sit down." That expression looked as if he had saved a cat or a dog, and he didn't care.

Then he said to the back of the convoy: "Liu San, give him a set of clothes, and get him some food." ”

"Got it, Master Yuan." Someone came back behind.

As soon as Han Ze was about to thank him, this Master Yuan gently pinched the horse's belly, and the horse under his crotch walked forward.

The convoy resumed.

At this moment, dozens of people rushed out of the hungry people on the side of the road in an instant, and pounced towards the corpse of the hungry wolf not far away.

……

Han Ze got into a semi-open-top car with an oilcloth pull.

There were more than a dozen people crowded inside, men, women and children, and it seemed that they were all hitchhiking.

He stood outside the carriage and took off his muddy tattered t-shirt trousers, and washed his muddy body and face with the dripping rainwater.

As he washed the mud from his arm, he noticed a faint mark flashing on his chest, as if he were breathing, as if the silver badge had been engraved on it.

Without waiting for him to take a closer look, the burly rough-faced man "Liu San" handed over a set of dirty coarse cotton clothes and cotton pants, but fortunately, it was dry.

Han Ze put on his cotton clothes and pants under the curious and scrutinizing eyes of everyone in the carriage, and then got into the carriage.

"Give."

Liu San, a rough-faced man, handed him a palm-sized round cake, a bit like a baked cake, with a lot of sesame seeds sprinkled on the skin.

Han Ze walked for hours in the muddy wasteland, even frightened, at this time he was already hungry, cold and hungry, after taking the round cake, he politely said, and then ate it.

The round cake is hard and tastes a bit like a sun-dried flower roll.

The man who was traveling next to him kindly handed him water.

Liu San immediately began to interrogate his heels, "Where are you from?" ”

"That, I'm from Hanjiazhuang, my family suffered a famine, and I was going to go to my relatives, but I didn't know that I was hit by thieves halfway."

Han Ze casually made up a lie.

He ran in the rain for two or three hours, his face was whitened by the rain, and at this time, his body was still shaking, and he did look like a person in distress.

"Hanjiazhuang? Haven't heard of it. ”

Liu San estimated which corner it was, and then asked two more questions to make sure that Han Ze was not a rogue.

Han Ze looked through the carriage and looked at the groups of hungry people on the side of the road, as well as the hungry people in the small ditch not far away, lying there like zombies gnawing there, and his heart was extremely frightened.

He asked with a chatter of teeth, "Hello, please ask, what kind of place is this?" ”

Liu San said casually: "This is Longshan County, Wulin Prefecture, which is the border of the Great Cang Kingdom. ”

"Big, Great Cangguo? Wulin Mansion? ”

Listening to this unfamiliar name, the last bit of hope in Han Ze's heart turned into ashes, and he knew that he had really traveled to ancient times.

What is even more unacceptable to him than traveling to ancient times is that he has also traveled to a completely strange ancient world.

The whole person was overwhelmed by deep fear and despair......

Seeing that Han Ze didn't even know about Da Cangguo, Liu Sanyue was more sure that the other party was a "countryman" who came out of which corner.

Han Ze had the courage to ask again.

I learned that the other party was a person from the Zhenwei Dart Bureau in Longshan County, and the woman who saved herself just now was Yuan Fang, the sister of Yuan Sihai, the current head of the Zhenwei Dart Bureau.

They escorted a shipment of goods to the next county town, and it was the time to return home.

"These hungry people are all from the country of Gaoqiu in the west, you see, they have eaten up the grass roots and bark along the way."

Speaking of Gaoqiu Kingdom, Liu San looked disgusted and sneered, and then glanced at Han Ze again, "If it weren't for the fact that you have a Dacang accent, I would have thrown you out a long time ago." ”

After speaking, he didn't say anything more, held a simple knife, leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Han Ze didn't dare to ask any more, for fear of revealing his feet.

Through the carriage, looking at the hungry people on both sides of the road in the cold rain, I thanked the gods and Buddhas for their blessings.

……

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the carriage was not moving fast.

During this period, Han Ze discovered an amazing thing, the wheels of this carriage with a grinding disc were actually wrapped with a layer of black tires similar to rubber.

Although he was very curious in his heart, he couldn't bear to ask more.

Before dark, they finally came to the vicinity of Longshan County.

There are more and more hungry people outside the county, and the government has built some grass huts outside the road to shelter from the wind and rain, and there are large families giving porridge, and the queue is very long.

The grass shed is dotted with stars and figures.

And farther above the wasteland, there are turquoise fireflies, which look eerie and eerie.

"After a person dies, a special substance will overflow from the brain, which is called the soul by the people, and the official law is the soul seed. When the sun comes out, it will all disappear. ”

Liu San saw Han Ze's doubts and explained casually.

"Soul seed?" Han Ze muttered.

Liu San turned his head and didn't say anything more.

Soon came to the gate of the city.

Several passengers who were traveling with Han Ze began to become excited and talked in a low voice.

Coming to the checkpoint that required a pass, Han Ze and the others entered the city without any danger.

The other procession, which did not have a pass or a guide, formed a long queue and could not see the end at a glance.

In the rain curtain, the violent shouting and scolding of the guards sounded from time to time.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat......"
