Chapter 14 The World Pattern
The layout of Zhangjiazhuang is very simple, with two main roads crisscrossing and extending in all directions, simply dividing the entire village into four. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Patches of fertile land are cultivated in an orderly manner, and every family has their own land, and as long as they work hard, they can be self-sufficient. The thatched houses where the villagers live are scattered in various locations in the village, with a very wide field of vision, and Zhang Tieniu, who lives at the entrance of the village, can see the house of Zhang Cuihua's family at the end of the village at a glance.
Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, it is the prelude to the busy farming, and the figures of working in the fields can be seen everywhere. When the villagers saw Lao Zhang coming back from hunting, they greeted Lao Zhang one after another, and then looked at Qi Ming and the others with curiosity.
Lao Zhang greeted and responded to the villagers one by one with a smile, and did not talk much about the identities of Qi Ming and others, only said that they were guests, and kept taking Qi Ming and others home along the way.
Qi Ming and the others followed Lao Zhang on the field road for a long time before they arrived at the door of the humble house in Lao Zhang's mouth.
It was a very simple thatched hut, simply fenced off by a fence, with some grain turned over and a few pheasants with sheared wings and tail feathers.
Pushing open the fence and entering the small courtyard, you can see all kinds of animal skins hanging everywhere, no different from ordinary hunters' houses.
When the group entered the yard, Lao Zhang suddenly found that there didn't seem to be so many chairs for the gourd babies to sit in at home, so after thinking about it, he moved out all the animal skins that were used as a collection and spread them in the yard at will.
For a hunter, this is already quite a grand etiquette.
The weather was very cool, and everyone sat in the courtyard and chatted happily.
Of course, most of the time, Qi Ming is talking to Lao Zhang, and the rest of the gourd babies are only responsible for listening, and occasionally they hear a sentence on a topic they don't understand, and there is no follow-up when they get an explanation.
One had the heart to inquire, and the other had the heart to say, and soon Qi Ming took Lao Zhang's words into a mess.
Although Qi Ming has a memory and is familiar with the general geography of the mountains and rivers in this world, it is just the so-called vicissitudes of life, not to mention, in addition to geography, there is also humanity. As a god, it is impossible for him to pay attention to the change of dynasties in the mortal world.
Qi Ming didn't know what kind of situation this mortal world was like, and he couldn't tell if Ji's memory was completely accurate, so he still needed to open his mouth and touch it up and down, and tell everything he knew and heard, so that Qi Ming could compare them one by one and confirm each other.
As far as Lao Zhang knows, this world is roughly divided into five parts, namely: the Western Wilderness Mountains, the Land of Zhongzhou, the Eastern Shengshen Continent, the Arctic Snow Region, and the Nanming Lihai. Now the location of the gourd babies is the westernmost part of the land of Zhongzhou, which is separated from the Xihuang Mountain Range by the Yinhuang River.
It is said that it is a large river that runs through the north and south after the opening of the world, and it has a very high status in the eyes of some people...... Although when the gourd babies crossed the river, the four babies urinated in the river by the way, but this did not affect the lofty status of the barren river.
"The great wilderness in the west is full of blue-faced and fanged demons, and I heard that it is very terrible to feed on people. When Lao Zhang said this, he said to the gourd babies with some bitterness, "The old man also knows that the little immortals have the ability to reach the sky, but after all, they are still young, and it is better to go less in the Western Wilderness!"
Although the gourd babies were a little unconvinced, they did not refute anything under Qi Ming's instructions, and continued to listen patiently.
"And then there is the land of Zhongzhou, oops, this Zhongzhou is very remarkable, the territory is vast, hundreds of millions of miles, and ordinary people can't go to the end in their lives. Compared with the bitter cold land in the west, the land of Zhongzhou is really a good place for Zhong Lingyuxiu, and I heard that there are hundreds of countries large and small...... It's a pity that half of my life has passed, and I have never even been to the country of Fuyang. Lao Zhang smacked his lips and said with some yearning.
"Where is your country, is it big?" Wuwa's eyes widened with curiosity, and she asked with some excitement, "Which one is bigger than your Zhangjiazhuang?"
When Lao Zhang heard this, he laughed dumbly.
Siwa also snorted and laughed: "You really have long hair and short knowledge, you still need to think about it, the capital of a country must be so big that it is boundless! At least it is as big as two Zhangjiazhuang...... No, ten!"
The fifth baby was furious, and immediately went up to grab the fourth baby and beat it for a while.
Lao Zhang scratched his head, and for a while he couldn't tell whether the two dolls were playing with themselves or really ignorant.
"Alright, okay, you two don't mess around. Qi Ming smiled and stopped the two living treasures from continuing to make trouble, and continued to ask, "What about the Eastern Holy Spirit Continent, the Southern Ming Lihai, and the Arctic Snow Region?"
"Oops, that's too far!" Lao Zhang pinched his chin and thought about it, "I only heard that the Eastern Saint Divine Continent is where the immortals live, there is no country and there is no emperor, there is no emperor, the sect is established by the immortals, and those spirit children with immortal qualifications are included in the mortal world, and then brought into the sect to practice, and become a little immortal......"
When Lao Zhang said this, he glanced at everyone, which meant self-evident.
"Don't hide it from the old man, my brothers and I are not from the sect. Qi Ming restrained his expression and said seriously, "I grew up with my grandfather since I was a child, and all my skills were taught by my grandfather. It's just that some time ago, my grandfather went down the mountain and disappeared, and my brothers and I were worried about my grandfather's safety, so I came down the mountain to find my grandfather. ”
This is a half-truth, and it is the rhetoric of the gourd babies who decided unanimously after researching.
When Lao Zhang heard this, he suddenly said: "So that's the case, no wonder the little immortals don't know these mundane things." I don't think there will be any danger to that old immortal, so don't worry too much. ”
The gourd babies nodded one after another.
Before I knew it, it was almost dusk, and Lao Zhang warmly kept the gourd babies for one night, and then went on the road early tomorrow morning.
The gourd baby and his party, who didn't want to bother the mortals, naturally politely refused, and after giving the leopard to Lao Zhang, they left in a big way.
Of course, as a return gift, Lao Zhang Dong borrowed money from the west to change a slightly more decent coarse cloth clothes for the gourd babies.
The gourd babies who have been wearing animal skin skirts for a long time are very happy, especially the second and fifth babies. Although the two girls are not topless like their brothers, they are also tired of wearing animal skins for a long time.
Now that they have changed into new clothes and put on new shoes, they are all so moved that they almost don't recognize their grandfather again, and they sincerely thank each other, which immediately flattered Lao Zhang.
Seeing the figures of the gourd babies and a group of seven people gradually disappearing into the distance, Lao Zhang sighed a little lost.
When the little apprentice on the side saw it, Zhang Goudan asked very curiously, "Master, what are you sighing for?"
"Hey, I saw a good seedling, but I couldn't accept apprentices, so I ......sighed," Lao Zhang sighed, "The immortals come and go, and we ordinary people are just a drop in the ocean......"
"Master, master, I'm also very good!" Zhang Goudan patted his chest and said confidently.
"Foolish, can you compare with the gods!" Lao Zhang scolded with a smile and patted the dog's head, "Go feed the chickens, clean up and cook, or I'll feed you to Dahua!"
Zhang Goudan shrunk his neck and ran away as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
The big flower is the new name of the unlucky leopard that was given to Lao Zhang.
I don't know what the second baby said in Dahua's ear before leaving, this unlucky leopard has become extremely docile and honest, and he has no dissatisfaction with his transformation from a fierce beast in the roaring mountains and forests to a big cat who cares for the house.
......
"So what did you say?" asked Liuwa curiously, "That leopard has always been dishonest and has been looking for a chance to run for a long time." ”
"Ah, I didn't say anything. The second baby said with a strange expression, "I told him that this is Orion's house, and let him go to the house to look for it, maybe he can find his brother's fur." ”
All the gourd babies: "......"
