The courtyard of the village chief's house.

I don't know when, the gate has been tightly closed.

The icy north wind howled by, stirring up the white fog of the early morning.

Zhou Zhen mingled among the children in the courtyard, moving quickly and softly.

"Eight!"

"Nine!"

Chu Hu counted here, and all the people in the courtyard who participated in the "touching the blind" had already dispersed far away, trying to avoid the five "blind men" covered with black cloths.

Chu Hu himself quickly retreated into the thatched hut and closed the door.

Zhou Zhen hid lightly by the courtyard wall, the low wall of adobe was more than his height, he stretched out an arm, grabbed the top of the earthen wall, and quickly climbed up with his waist and legs.

The courtyard walls are made of square adobe masonry, which is mixed with ancient adhesives such as glutinous rice juice, and a layer of straw mats is laid on the wall to protect the earthen wall from the wind and rain, so that the earthen wall will not be washed away by rain from the top.

Under normal circumstances, straw mats are changed once a year, and now may not be the time to replace them, and the newly laid straw mats at the beginning of the year have rotted and decayed in the wind and rain during the year, turning into a mud-like texture and integrating into the adobe.

Zhou Zhen stood on the earthen wall, only feeling that the foothold was slightly soft, if it weren't for the fact that he was now a child's body, but a strong adult, this earthen wall might not be able to bear it for too long.

He stood on the wall, silently looking down on the courtyard.

At this time, everyone had already hidden, holding their breath and concentrating, maintaining a high level of tension, watching the every move of the five "blind men".

Chu Hu's voice came from the crack in the door of the thatched house: "Ten! ”

The last one was counted, and the main entrance of the thatched hut was immediately fastened by the latch, and the five people of Ji Li, Lu Xingkuan, Sui Bai, Ding Nu and Xinchun also turned around, stretched out their arms and groped in the air, and began to arrest people.

The five "blind men" were blindfolded, and it stands to reason that they could not see anything and had no idea where the arrested men were hiding.

However, the game had just begun, and the five "blind men" seemed to feel something, and all of them staggered in the direction of Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen's expression remained unchanged, and he quietly watched the approach of the five people.

Soon, the five "blind men" came to the wall where Zhou Zhen was hiding, Ji Li and Lu Xingkuan groped carefully on the rough earthen wall, due to their lack of height, although they touched the nearby area without any mistakes or omissions, they still found nothing.

The two of them touched and touched, and gradually touched along the wall, towards both sides.

At the same moment, Sui Bai, Ding Nu and Xinchun, three adult "blind men", stretched out their arms and touched towards the top of the earthen wall.

The arms that were seven long and eight short were flapping indiscriminately in the air, and when they were about to touch Zhou Zhen, Zhou Zhen immediately jumped lightly.

Sui Bai's palm just touched the top of the wall, and the touch was full of jagged soil stubble and the remains of straw mats mixed in it, Sui Bai's arm had just moved away, and Zhou Zhen just fell back to the wall.

Zhou Zhen is now just an underage child, and he is very thin and light, but in the case of "digital energy", his control of power is just right, and there is no movement during the whole process.

Even the strong winds that came with it were hidden in the bitter north wind.

Immediately afterwards, Ding Nu stood on tiptoe and touched the top of the earthen wall with both hands, and Zhou Zhen jumped up again, successfully avoiding her groping.

Next up is Shinharu......

After a while, Sui Bai, Ding Nu and Xinchun also touched the place inch by inch, but they didn't find anything, and in the end, the three of them followed the wall, each choosing a direction and walking away.

Seeing that all the five "blind men" left, Zhou Zhen did not relax his vigilance in the slightest, his eyes were like torches, and he was still staring at them tightly.

At this time, Ji Lixi followed the wall and touched the hedge.

Between the hedges, there was a little boy wearing open crotch pants, the little boy looked at the civet who was close at hand, his nose was dripping down, he didn't dare to suck it, and curled up in the gap of the hedge, motionless.

Ji Li's arm groped in front of him, groping and touching, and he finally grabbed the corner of the little boy's clothes, and suddenly shouted happily: "I caught you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the thatched house was immediately opened, and Chu Hu strode out, announcing with a smile: "The giant has been arrested!" ”

"Tomorrow the giant will be the 'blind man'."

"Let's go back first!"

At the end of the game, the five people who played the role of "blind man" all took off their black cloth towels.

The other children also ran out of their hiding places, giggling and laughing: "It's dangerous! They almost walked past me just now, and I almost thought I was going to be caught! ”

"That's it!"

"I'm scared too!"

"I'm lucky......"

In the midst of the child's sharp playfulness, Zhou Zhen also jumped off the earthen wall.

At this time, Lu Xingkuan walked towards him quickly: "Zhang Xi, did you find anything just now?" ”

As he spoke, Lu Xingkuan had already come to Zhou Zhen and stretched out his hand to grab Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen was just about to answer, and a strong warning suddenly rose in his heart.

Not right!

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Zhen immediately hid to the side.

Lu Xingkuan grabbed the air, looked at Zhou Zhen with straight eyes, and suddenly asked very angrily: "Zhang Xi, what are you hiding?" ”

As he spoke, he kept in his hands and continued to grab Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen was about to retreat, when out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw that Xin Chun didn't know when, he was already standing behind him, his hands raised, and he also grabbed him.

At the same time, the two adults, Sui Bai and Ding Nu, also cooperated tacitly and surrounded him from the side, stretched out their hands to grab him.

"Hahaha...... Ji Lifu is so stupid, he walked directly in front of me and didn't notice me! ”

"Or I'm smart, I didn't go anywhere, I hid directly next to Bolu, he really didn't think of it at all......"

In the courtyard, the other children continued to fight, and they talked about the thrilling moments in the game with relaxed faces, jumping and playing, as if they had not noticed the movement at all.

Zhou Zhen's heart suddenly beat wildly, and he suddenly realized that the game of "touching the blind" is not over yet!

He immediately squatted, dodged Lu Xingkuan's arm again, and then took advantage of the fact that the encirclement of the four had not yet closed, and rushed out with an arrow step towards the position in front of the side.

The next moment, the outstretched arms of the four people fell into the air at the same time.

The four of them turned around mechanically and chased after Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen pulled out his legs and ran wildly, rushed directly to the gate of the yard, pulled down the latch behind the door, and rushed out of the yard!

He has now recovered a little bit of "digital energy", although it is not enough to use the "digital domain", but physical strength, stamina, speed ...... All have been greatly enhanced, and ordinary people can't catch up with him at all.

It didn't take long for Zhou Zhen to run to his doorstep.

He glanced at the sign at the door to make sure that no one had sneaked inside while he was leaving, and then he looked behind him, and the alley behind him was empty and quiet, without any footsteps of his pursuers, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

If you were caught by those four "blind men" just now......

Every "blind man" can take a "number" from him.

Four "blind people" will definitely make his "equation" directly have big problems!

Plus, it's only the second day.

Tomorrow, the number of "blind" people will most likely increase again......

If this continues, in a few days, the game of "touching the blind man" will become a whole yard of people, catch him.

At that time, as long as the game is lost, all his "numbers" will become Ji Li's "numbers"!

Gotta figure figure it out.

Thinking quickly in his heart, Zhou Zhen raised his palm and was about to push open the door in front of him.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and immediately turned his head to look.

I don't know when a layer of white mist rose behind him, and it hung down between the sky and the earth like a veil, blurring the vision.

In the mist, the two figures ran quickly, ghostly appeared in the depths of the mist, galloping all the way, and went straight to the thatched house in front of Zhou Zhen.

The two figures seemed to be in a hurry, and they also seemed to be dodging the pursuers, moving fast.

Looking at this scene, Zhou Zhen suddenly frowned.

※※※

North of the village, at the entrance of Yue's blacksmith shop.

Many villagers formed a special formation, vaguely surrounding the gate of the blacksmith shop.

"Yue cymbals, I have some questions, I want to ask you." The gray-haired villager at the head said in a calm voice.

Yue Cymbal, a young man who came out of the blacksmith shop, looked at the crowd outside, and suddenly felt a little strange, but his eyes fell on the gray-haired villager, he still nodded, and said: "Father Ji commanded, obey his orders, and invite Father Ji to sit inside." ”

The gray-haired villager nodded slightly, then looked behind him and whispered, "You guys wait outside." ”

As he spoke, he strode forward and followed Yue cymbals towards the blacksmith's shop.

No sooner had the two of them entered, the door of the smithy was closed again, and the latch was secured.

The villagers outside immediately listened with bated breath, but the courtyard in front of them looked very simple, as if there was an invisible diaphragm, and they couldn't hear any movement in the courtyard at all.

Time passed slowly, and after almost half an hour, the door of the blacksmith finally opened again.

Yue cymbals accompanied the gray-haired villagers out of the inside.

The gray-haired villager nodded slightly to Yue cymbals: "I'm tired!" ”

Yue cymbals saluted very respectfully and said: "Father Ji's words are serious, this is all a matter of cymbals. ”

After a few polite words, the gray-haired villager took his leave, and after walking a few steps, Yue Cymbal also returned to the blacksmith shop and closed the door.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, the gray-haired villager immediately stopped, looked left and right, and said briefly: "Go!" ”

The surrounding villagers quietly dispersed into the surrounding alleys as they appeared, and only a few people followed the gray-haired villagers.

As soon as he left the open space at the entrance of the blacksmith shop and entered a secluded alley, one of the villagers, dressed in a faded light blue caftan brown, couldn't wait to ask, "Team Liao, how is it?" ”

The gray-haired villager glanced at the thirty-year-old villager and said, "Researcher Shao, I've asked clearly." ”

"This blacksmith shop was built when the village was first established."

"They claim that their ancestors are from the place of 'Yue', and they have a relationship with Ou Yezi, a famous swordsmith in the history of our country."

"However, the blacksmith shop used to only make some shoddy bronze farm tools, and it couldn't even be called ironware, it could only be said to be a village-level smelting workshop, and the name was not called a blacksmith shop, but 'Yue's workshop'."

"The family's main livelihood, like the rest of the village, is farming."

"Smelting, it's just a side business to subsidize the family when you're idle."

"Two years ago, everything was normal in the whole village, including this workshop."

"Then one day, the people in the village dreamed of a heavy rain at the same time."

"After the heavy rain in this dream, many people in the village suddenly gained a lot of knowledge far beyond this era!"

"However, this is the ancient times of our country, and the knowledge that suddenly came far exceeded the understanding and imagination of these villagers."

"Instead of joy at the arrival of this knowledge, they were filled with fear."

"Especially the attitude of the previous village head, Chu Xun, made the villagers regard this knowledge as a curse that disrespects their ancestors and gods, and they dare not practice and use it at all."

"Later, in the valley where the village is located, there was a drought and a plague."

"The village, which originally had more than 700 people, suffered heavy casualties."

"In the face of an existential crisis, the surviving villagers were not afraid and began to use that knowledge tentatively."

"The casting and smelting techniques of the blacksmith's shop that are ahead of their time are discovered from that knowledge."

"Yue's blacksmith shop, the current owner of Yue Ju, also took the opportunity to master a lot of casting-related knowledge at that time, and upgraded the workshop that could only shoddy some small metal pieces containing a lot of impurities into a serious blacksmith shop......

Hearing this, Shao Yuzhi frowned, and quickly asked, "This Yue Ju, are you sure that you have only gained knowledge, and your consciousness has not changed?" ”

Liao Yonghong nodded and said with great certainty: "No!" ”

"I have just confirmed in person that Yue Ju, an old blacksmith, only has some knowledge of later generations, smelting technology, and is part of it."

"A lot of this knowledge is common knowledge in 2127."

"But the cognition and concept of Yue Ju itself are still in the ancient times of the Qin and Han dynasties."

"In essence, he is still an ancient, but by chance, he has obtained some future knowledge, and the knowledge he has obtained is not comprehensive and systematic."

"In his opinion, this is the spirit of the ancestors, and he pities them for the descendants who live in the mountains to escape the war, so he taught these 'immortal methods' in his dreams."

And his qualifications are ugly, and many of the things taught by his ancestors cannot be understood, so he can only write them down and improve his skills little by little...... Yes, what he is most concerned about at the moment is still iron-striking technology. ”

"For the common sense, thoughts, and concepts of later generations, due to the lack of systematic cognition and cultivation, he understood it several times, but after he couldn't understand it, he regarded it as the trick of cultivating immortals, thinking that he might not have this talent, so he regarded these memories as heirlooms, and looked forward to the future generations of descendants, there are talented scholars who can cultivate, comprehend these so-called 'secret immortal recipes in the ancestors' dreams', and ascend!"

Shao Yuzhi listened carefully, and after being silent for a while, he said with a very serious expression: "It seems that I guessed correctly." ”

"'Digital virus' can infect the dimension of 'time'."

"That's not good news!"

"In addition, the knowledge that the people in the village have obtained should not come from a higher civilization, but from our time, 2127......"

"Before the space-time tunnel was not blocked, there were many wanderers in Tongfu City who had strayed into Qingquan Valley."

"In the end, only Lu Xingkuan got out alive."

"And we haven't seen a single wanderer until now!"

"Not surprisingly, those who are lower than the 'Fourth Tier' will lose their 'numbers' after entering the space-time tunnel due to the lack of optimization of the 'equation'."

"As a result, they only have knowledge and memories, and they are thrown to this side of the space-time tunnel."

"The consciousness body disintegrated in advance during the transmission of the space-time tunnel!"

"The knowledge obtained by those villagers should be the memories of the compatibles of the 'third tier', 'second tier', or even the 'first tier'."

"The villagers who have gained knowledge are supposed to be occupied by those who are compatible. But because the 'ladder' of those compatible people is not enough, in turn, those villagers get the knowledge of those who are compatible! ”

The second is a little later.
