Volume 1 First Encounter with Egypt Chapter 6 Finding Home in the Mountains

I don't know how long I have been asleep, it is like shuttling through a time and space tunnel again, my consciousness is interrupted, I lose the concept of time and space, and the whole person is in a state of chaos.

Maybe it's all over, otherwise there would be no consciousness, no pain, no emotional fluctuations, all submerged in a pool of stagnant water, silent, waiting for death.

"Wake up, young man. A voice rang in my ears.

"Don't bother me, I'm going to keep sleeping. Wu Tian, who was in a trance, muttered, looking extremely impatient.

In the scorching summer, Wu Tian dreamed that he was licking the popsicle one by one, it was so cool, so cold......

However, since being disturbed by that voice, the sweet popsicles are no longer delicious, but have a strange flavor that is getting stronger and stronger...... Every lick made him tormented and unbearable.

Wu Tian opened his eyes suddenly, and the tongue of the dog that was dripping with saliva and licking his face frantically was infinitely magnified, which frightened him and hurriedly retreated.

However, this move is undoubtedly playing hide and seek in the eyes of this dog. So the dog jumped up towards Wu Tian, half lying on top of him, his strong forepaws and huge size made it difficult for him to breathe, and he was still breathing hot at him, and the two strands of golden hair were still fluttering in the wind.

"Golden Retriever, come here!"

As soon as Wu Tian woke up, he was attracted by the dog, and now he found that there was an old man standing next to him with gray hair and wrinkles on his face full of vicissitudes, even if he was drinking, the corners of his eyes were still smiling.

After hearing the master's order, the behemoth sighed, drooped its head and left the newly captured pet, feeling pity in its heart, stepping back to the owner with heavy and slow steps, and even turning back step by step, showing deep reluctance.

Wu Tian spat and expelled the saliva left from the close contact with the dog, feeling resentful.

He looked at the distant back of the dog named "Golden Retriever", the tall and straight figure, the slender and strong limbs, all showing its youth and vitality, and the blonde hair dotted in a gray fur, which is the finishing touch, which makes people sigh.

Soon the golden retriever paced back to his master, curled up on the ground, half-squinted, and did not know what was being done with his forepaws, as if he had found a new pleasure in entertaining himself.

Wu Tian sat up, recalling the events before he lost consciousness, observing his body, except for the striking lightning mark, there were no new scars.

He looked around for the soldiers, and found two bodies not far away, and he could be sure that they were the two soldiers without stepping in.

The ground was full of dried blood, how much pain had condensed, and it was not difficult to imagine what kind of suffering they experienced at the last moment of their lives, feeling the flow of blood and the exhaustion of life......

Was it this old man who saved me? How could he be so calm? But it didn't look like it, the congealed blood meant that the soldier should have been dead for a long time.

Wu Tian thought, what he didn't understand was that in that critical moment, who would risk going against the country to save himself, and make a decision in an instant, proving that that person had been secretly watching, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

Who would it be? Brother who repaid the kindness of the past? Or ...... The woman named Flamingo?

He couldn't guess it, the old problems were not solved, and new questions surfaced, which made him restless.

"If you don't get up again, you won't be able to run away when the people who went out to farm find the dead soldiers. ”

Wu Tian looked at the old man, still with a kind and calm face, and did not have too many ups and downs because of what happened in front of him, just like looking at normal daily trivialities, calm and calm.

"Thank you, old man, I'm ......" Before Wu Tian finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man.

"Don't say more, get out of here, someone will pass by soon. ”

After saying that, he took a step ahead, and walked briskly, as if floating in mid-air, the golden retriever did not dare to procrastinate, and a spirit got up, trotted out of all fours and followed. This old man is not simple, Wu Tian said silently in his heart.

Struggling to get up from the ground, most of the pain in his body had subsided, he dusted off the dirt and dust from his body with his hands, and sorted out his clothes, although there was nothing to tidy up.

An invisible, torn animal skin garment, paired with a loincloth made of linen, is a genuine ancient Egyptian characteristic clothing, which often appears in various mural ceramics that have been handed down to this day.

Wu Tian tried to find the bronze sword that flew out of the fight, but he had lost its trace, and it was estimated that it was taken away by the person who rescued him, after all, it was a peerless sword.

Walking past the corpse, the soldier's round eyes fixed on the sky, but he could no longer see the sun today. Wu Tian crouched down and closed their eyes, this was the only thing he could do.

Around the corner, the clamor of the people began to spread around every corner.

Walking through the center of the ancient Egyptian Empire, the dense houses of similar styles are scattered all over the land like stars in the sky, the difference is that through artificial design and planning, the layout of the city appears more layered and orderly.

The streets are filled with a variety of pedestrians and animals, including chickens, ducks, dogs, cows, sheep and other poultry.

After breakfast, some of them carried their tools and cattle to the fields to start a new day's work, some ran around the market with their substitutes and prayed for what they needed, and some opened their shops and continued their day-to-day blacksmithing, weaving, and handicraft activities.

In addition, the sounds of laughter, fighting, chasing, quarrels, bargaining, secret whispers, etc., fill the heart of the city, like a living individual.

All the scenes reflect the prosperity of the city, the development of society, and the diversity of people's daily life.

Walking through it, everything is new and interesting to Wu Tian, people's appearances and clothing, animal forms and movements, the architectural structure of houses, etc., all attract Wu Tian's attention, observing and looking at every object that appears in his line of sight.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tian sighed spontaneously, and the ancient Egypt of 5,000 years ago once again refreshed his cognition, verifying his loneliness and ignorance of this ancient world.

Everything around us was new, the mud houses made of mud bricks, the strange attire of the ancient Egyptians, or the shirtless with only a loincloth wrapped around their shirts, or the simple clothes made of linen, or the gorgeous skirts, and the children running around naked, there was a sense of temptation everywhere......

Wu Tian's recovered memories were intermittent and incomplete, many fragments appeared and disappeared again, and many things could only be vaguely remembered.

For example, at this moment, he only knows that he lives in Sunset Mountain, but he can't remember where the mountain is or where his home is.

The reason why I am in such a hurry to go back is entirely because I must find the jade pendant that represents the identity of the night watchman and escort my own life, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch in this country, let alone carry out the mission.

"Big brother, where is Sunset Mountain?"

On the way, he met a big man who walked slowly, and Wu Tian asked for advice.

"Sunset Mountain, it's about half a day's walk from here. Did you see, now the sun is rising here, and the mountain is on the other side where the sun sets, just go straight. ”

Dahan patiently explained to Wu Tian while explaining it with his actions, looking enthusiastic.

Listening to the other party's answer, Wu Tian secretly scolded: Isn't this night watchman full of food and support, he has nothing to live so far away, half a day's journey, and only a day back and forth, so he can't have a sense of time......

After Wu Tian thanked him well, he began his own road to find his home. He walked without stopping, gradually moving away from the city, walking on the country road, and returning to the depths of the mountains.

The surrounding houses are thinning out, the streets are becoming less and less crowded, and the noise and noise of the bazaar disappear in favor of all kinds of natural sounds, such as the chirping of birds and insects, and the roars and chases of all kinds of wild beasts as they wake up.

From a distant place, Wu Tian saw that there were mountains rising from the ground in front of him, towering into the clouds, and even more continuous, like a barrier, blocking the way forward and cutting off the people on both sides of the mountain.

The magic of nature is vividly reflected here.

Walking in the fields with left and right turns, Wu Tian couldn't help but hum a song.

"Chasing dragonflies in the field barefoot until I get tired, stealing fruit and being given by bees, stinging to the point of fear, who is snickering......"

At this moment, he thought: the task is difficult, but the trip is not in vain

Although you can see the mountains from a distance, the actual distance is far beyond human estimates, and you can't see the end of the road at all. Finally came to the foot of the mountain, Wu Tian stopped and looked up at the huge green barrier in front of him, feeling very cordial and couldn't help but sigh.

"This place should be quite suitable for the elderly ......"

From this moment on, the lost memories resurfaced, and Wu Tian seemed to see a lighthouse radiating dazzling light in the deep mountains - it was his home, which was guiding him in the direction of his journey.

At first, the smooth and straight road up the mountain soon became intricate, winding, shuttling through trees, flowers, and weeds, and Wu Tian did not get lost in it.

This road, as if he had walked it more than a hundred times, could reach his destination safely even with his eyes closed.

Before you know it, you have walked the sheep's intestine path, stepped on the gravel and crossed the stream, and entered the black jungle belt, completely submerging the road ahead, and then gradually thinning out, many trees scattered on the bare mountainside, and in front of you is an open field.

It can really be said that there is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

I saw dense thatched huts next to each other, forming a small village like a community of destiny to resist the danger of the deep mountains.

Here, signs of human activity have re-obscured the scent of nature, and the sounds of children, women, and poultry have added to the vitality of the tribe and shown traces of man's conquest of the mountains.

Wu Tian walked through the village, climbed over the hillside, and stood in front of his house, his mood was at peace that he had never felt since he crossed, and his heart began to become firm again, so there was nothing wrong with saying that home is everyone's harbor.

From now on, this is the starting point of departure, and the road ahead is ahead, waiting for him to embark on his journey.
