Chapter 7: Weird
In the blink of an eye, the years passed in a hurry, and on the official road with four horses and wide in the north of the Tang Dynasty, with the advent of the late autumn season, the clean road surface was also paved with thick dead leaves, and every step on it would make a creaking sound.
And a carriage was slowly moving towards the Heluo area of Datang. On top of the carriage was Gongsun Li, who lifted the curtain and looked at the blurred town behind her, her eyes were a little wet. That is the place where she was born and raised, and the people who leave their hometown are the most sad.
When Gongsun Li returned home when he got the paperwork, Uncle Gongsun also showed a smile like a burden, no one knew why this old man had such a smile, but his body did not live up to it day by day. It turned out that he had been enduring his life for the sake of his granddaughter's dream.
The old man left, walking very peacefully, and after half a year of filial piety, Gongsun Li, with the help of An Ran, sold his few family properties and rented this simple carriage.
It turned out that there was no map to refer to, only to go south, and this was not on a fork in the road, and the carriage stopped moving.
"Ah Li, tell you good news or bad news, which one do you want to hear?" said An Ran, who was driving, into the car.
"Let's hear the bad news first. ”
"We're lost. An Ran said with a serious face.
"And what about the good news?" followed by a helpless voice from inside the car
"Both roads here go south......"
Fortunately, there were businessmen passing by on the official road from time to time, and after some inquiry, the two drove on.
Quiet time always flies, and the afterglow of the setting sun sets the back of the carriage on the road. Fortunately, it is not far away here, and looking at the smoke rising in the distance, An Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although it is simple to leave the home of Gongsun, but after all, they are natives of the Tang Dynasty, and they still understand some taboos, especially in recent years, the frequent appearance of demon seeds has made the entire Datang residents panic, although the demon seeds may not appear at night, but it is more reassuring than in a place where humans live in groups, isn't it.
You can sleep well again, on the carriage, An Ran put the sheepskin painting given to him by Su Lie into his arms, and he couldn't tell how many times he had seen the sheepskin painting, but he could see that this was a pose diagram, and he also understood, that is, he felt that there was something wrong with the villain in the painting......
Stretching his waist, the bumps of the day were really falling apart, and now he only fantasized about having a place to rest and sleep beautifully.
When night fell, the sky gradually turned black, and An Ran and Gongsun Li looked at the village in front of them with a look of joy on their faces.
The village is not large, with only a dozen families. The smoke was still emitting from the chimneys in each house, and it was not difficult to tell that it was cooking dinner. In order not to disturb each other, the two deliberately parked the carriage outside the village.
"Is there anyone?" An Ran had just entered the village, but he asked loudly when he didn't see anyone.
There was no reply, and the village was eerily silent, except for the occasional unknown birdsong from the treetops.
"Anyone?" asked again, but it was many times louder than before. It was so frightened that it flew in the woods not far away.
It stands to reason that someone should have come out with such a loud voice, but after waiting for a quarter of an hour, no one was seen, and the sky was getting darker and darker. Enron had to stand up. Walk to the nearest farmhouse.
"Wait. Ah Li greeted from behind. It's like knowing what Enron is going to do next. She quickly got into the carriage and took out two one-handed swords for self-defense, handed one to An Ran, and followed closely.
Ah Li's simple actions warmed An Ran's heart, she and Uncle Gongsun felt at home for the first time after they lost their memory. He is also the most important person to himself.
"Knock knock. ”
An Ran, who didn't give up, had to admit that there was really no one here after knocking twice, but there was still smoke so what's going on.
The night also seems to be against the two. The night that is usually starry and moonlit suddenly disappeared today, in exchange for darkness and no fingers. Obviously, you can feel the distance of the other party's body temperature, but at this time, there is only a dark figure.
Ah Li had to grope for a while from the burden behind his back before he took out the necessary fire fold to go out. When a glimmer of fire rises, the faint brightness is so dazzling at this moment. It is even more embarrassing to make the two of them see the distance within a radius of ten zhang.
Everything is unusual here. There was smoke just now, but no one answered. It was already dark at night, but there was not a single oil lamp lit here, and it was obvious that the two who were not deeply involved in the world did not notice the strangeness of this place and walked into the farmhouse step by step. If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would have fled this place a long time ago.
The faint light of the fire entered the house, and there was only one room in the farmhouse, and after Ah Li lit the oil lamp on the table in the house, the bright candle flame finally dispelled the darkness. As far as the two of them looked at each other, they could see that a water tank had been placed in the corner by the owner of the place, an earthen kang, a table, and a stove that was steaming with the aroma of food. It can be seen that the owner of this family is not doing well, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a family with four walls.
An Ran, who was hungry and uncomfortable, lifted the lid of the pot, and the golden and fragrant porridge and rice and a few pieces of bread in it made An Ran greedy. I can't care so much, just wait for this master to come back and lose some money. looked at Ah Lihou, who was in charge of money. An Ran reached out and took the pottery bowl on the stove
"Not true. After learning about it, he felt that An Ran suddenly saw a few scratches near the pottery bowl, although it was very shallow, but this did not prevent An Ran from seeing that this was left by humans when they were struggling. Looking back on all the things here, it is not difficult to guess that the villagers here are afraid that they have .....
Thinking of this, An Ran quickly put a few dough cakes into a cloth bag. Pulled up Ah Li and ran out quickly
