Chapter 54: Into the City
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Dongfang turned around and ran, ran a few steps and turned around to put the wooden box back in its original position, turned around and ran again.
This wooden box should contain what the other party said, this thing can condense the dam, it can be seen how miraculous it is, but he can't use it, and it's useless to take it.
After running a few dozen meters, a shout came from the edge of the cliff, "Who moved the soil?"
The shout was the wizard who had rushed down from the cliff to help, and after shouting, he began to circle around the stone platform, chanting loudly as he turned, and he didn't know that he was recondensing the dam.
Wu Dongfang secretly said that it was dangerous, but fortunately he didn't take the wooden box before, otherwise he would definitely not be able to escape.
The dam reappeared, and the people who were struggling in the torrent survived, but the white leper turtle also ran away from the rushing river, and the Turkish wizard shouted angrily, "Who, who moved the soil?"
"Why don't you keep the platform?" a chicken jumped up from the bottom of the cliff.
"If I don't go down to help, will you be able to stop it?" the wizard continued to shout.
"Okay now, we've gotten rid of the Turtle Dragon, how can we explain to the Heavenly Master of the Cloud Palace?" roared the soup chicken.
When the two quarreled, Wu Dongfang secretly ran away.
Running dozens of miles to the east, the mountains came to the end, and came to the plains, where there was a lot of farmland, but the farmland was not connected to the farmland, but the east and the west were very scattered, and there were big trees growing in the places that had not been reclaimed into farmland.
After crossing the river, Wu Dongfang was relieved for most of the time, and walked east along the main road, at this time the sky was already bright, and there was a faint smoke coming out of the east not far away, which should be a village.
Different from the villages of the Jin people, the size of the villages of the Tu people is very different, the big ones have thousands of people, and the few are only a few dozens, and the village here is a very small village, with only a dozen houses, the houses are all made of mud bricks made of mud and dried soil, with thatched roofs on top, and the houses and yards are a quarter smaller than the current houses.
Wu Dongfang was tired and cold, thirsty and hungry, and desperately wanted to rest, but after hesitating for a while, he turned around and left, he couldn't relax because he crossed the river, he couldn't control the unexpected situation, he must do a good job of what he could control, and he couldn't leave trouble because of his negligence and laxity.
Leaving the village, Wu Dongfang did not take the main road again, but wandered in the mountains and fields, and did not return to the road until he shot a few pheasants.
Now that there was a village, the town should not be far away, and at noon a city appeared ahead, and there were soldiers at the gates, but the soldiers were lazy and did not check the passers-by.
Wu Dongfang followed the crowd to the city gate, his clothes are now torn, his face is dirty and his beard is long, too much like a down-and-out hunter, even so, the soldiers guarding the door still looked at him a few more times, the reason is very simple, he is taller than the average person, at this time the people are very short, men are one meter six five is considered tall, women are generally below one meter five, it may be a problem of Han blood, or it may be that the food is not good.
Wu Dongfang entered the city smoothly, this was the first time he entered the city of the Tu tribe, everything was new to him, but he did not look around, but strode forward without squinting, so as not to let the people in the city feel that he was a newcomer.
Not squinting does not mean that you can't observe with the corner of your eye, he is looking for a place to eat, the most difficult thing to solve in the wild is salt, these days without eating salt, he began to feel weak, salt is a poisonous thing, eat too much will be poisoned, do not eat or eat less will be tired.
While looking for an inn, he was also listening to the conversation of the people in the city, quickly learning how they called each other and how they spoke, in modern words, the four ethnic groups of gold, wood, water and fire belonged to the ethnic minorities, and the Tu people were the Han people, and the words and deeds of the Tu people were more like modern people, and the Tu city was also very similar to the city in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
To his relief, there was no big difference between the accents of the Tu and Jin people at this time, and he would not know that he was a foreigner as soon as he heard the accent.
"Two fish for one pheasant. "Someone shouted on the side of the road, he was not shouting pheasants but pheasants, and at this time the chickens raised at home were called pheasants, and those in the wild were called pheasants.
"Someone asked for it. Wu Dongfang said casually, he was quite conspicuous when he walked on the road, and he had to use this method to tell the people around him that he had acquaintances here.
He found a restaurant, unlike the Jin people who sell roast pigs directly on the roadside, the restaurants opened by the Tu people, that is, the Han people, are all in the house, and the flag is hung outside, and the wine jar is painted on the flag.
Wu Dongfang saw that the restaurant did not enter immediately, but stopped in front of the rice shop opposite the restaurant, pretended to look at the rice, pricked up his ears to listen to the sound in the tavern opposite, and waited until he heard someone ordering wine and food, and then turned around and walked into the restaurant.
The restaurant is quite large, with more than a dozen tables, and the food is placed on the shelves on the east wall, and the counter is on the north side.
After Wu Dongfang entered, he didn't choose a corner, but sat at a table next to the door, and beckoned to the busy guy, who ran over, and he took out the small jade bi that he picked up in the coffin, "Two cakes, a bowl of minced meat." ”
The man took the piece of jade, turned around and gave it to the shopkeeper, who looked at it, put it away, took out a dozen shells and handed them to the buddy.
The guy took the shell back, Wu Dongfang didn't say much, stuffed it into his arms, he understood one more thing, people at this time don't recognize gold, they recognize jade, jade is the same as wine, it is a hard commodity.
There is no wine jar in the store, there are two wine jars on the west side of the counter, Wu Dongfang looked at it for a while, and found that the guests will give money first when drinking, and the wine in the wine jar on the east side is a bowl of shells, the bowl is very large, bigger than the bowl of Henan people eating noodles. The wine in the vat on the west side was a bowl of two shells.
When the guy brought the food, Wu Dongfang took out a shell from his arms, pointed to the cheap wine urn and said, "Have a bowl." ”
The guy sent it over with a bamboo tube of wine, Wu Dongfang took a sip, and frowned secretly, compared to the wine in July, this wine is cat urine.
Breaking the dough, he was surprised to find that the dough was made of wheat, he thought that the Xia Dynasty was millet in addition to beans, but he didn't expect that there was already wheat at this time, fragrant, really fragrant, the only problem was that the bran was not sifted clean, but this is not bad.
The so-called minced meat is actually broth, similar to mutton soup, but the meat is not flaked, but chopped and boiled, a bit like the meat filling left over from dumplings and boiled in water, but it is very delicious, and compared with hedgehogs, there is nothing unpleasant.
When he entered, there were already a few tables of diners in the store, these people were from the city, they were very clean, and there were many dishes on the table, and as soon as he entered the door, he attracted the squint of everyone.
Wu Dongfang doesn't care about them, only cares about eating and drinking, he hasn't been to too many places, only has been to the Jin city, and the Jin city he prefers the Tu city, this is where the Han people live, people's words and deeds are similar to the buildings in the city and the Ming and Qing dynasties.
When eating, a strange thought came to his mind, how good it would be if he could go back, bring back what he saw and heard here and tell his comrades-in-arms that he had led the team to win two second-class merits, and such a record should be able to be promoted to the main company next year, as long as he is loyal, he has more combat merits, the regiment, and the master are possible, if he makes miraculous achievements, he will be able to hang up the general star one day, but all of these have come to naught with this accident, lost, in addition to loss or loss.
Everyone has a bad mood, some people will last for a long time once they are in a bad mood, but Wu Dongfang is not, he can quickly reverse himself when he is in a bad mood, there are too many unlucky people, not only him, since it is an accident, it is not accurate, the Jurassic that has not worn dinosaurs everywhere is not bad, there are people to eat, drink and people, what do you want.
Just as he was gobbling up, two people came in outside the door, a woman supported an old man, the old man looked like he was in his sixties, his actual age may not be that old, at this time the living conditions were not good, everyone was old, and he should be in his fifties. The woman next to him was in her twenties, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and her face was a bit like an old man, she should be father and daughter.
When the two entered the door, they first bent down at the shopkeeper, and then stood by the door, and the old man had a rope around his neck, and a drum was hung from the rope. The woman holds a pair of small gongs in her hand, and the pairs don't seem to be called gongs, but should be called cymbals, which are musical instruments.
After the father and daughter stood up, the old man began to beat the drums, the woman began to sing, singing a few words will gently hit the cymbals, Wu Dongfang heard the music for the first time after coming back, the music at this time already has five tones, the woman belongs to bel canto singing, the contralto, but I don't understand what she sings at all, because there are no lyrics, only tunes.
The father and daughter were naturally entertainers, and when they were singing, the guests in the house were all turning their heads to look and listen, but when they took out the clay pot after singing, everyone turned their heads and stopped looking at them.
The father and daughter didn't hold back, the woman helped the old man to turn around and wanted to leave, Wu Dongfang saw that they were hungry and beckoned to them, "Come here, I'll invite you to dinner." ”
He looked more fierce, the father and daughter hesitated and didn't dare to come, Wu Dongfang walked over, took out a few unheated shells and stuffed them into the old man's hands, "Take it to buy food." ”
The old man's face was frightened, and he cowardly wanted to speak, and when he opened his mouth, Wu Dongfang had already returned to his seat and sat down.
The old man and the woman were overjoyed, and came over to thank them, Wu Dongfang saw that there were rice grains in their clay pots, and then he realized that they only wanted rice just now, and he had a better impression of them, so he raised his hand and beckoned the man, took out the shells, and asked the man to put some broth for their father and daughter, and took a few cakes.
The father and daughter thanked each other repeatedly, they had nothing to repay Wu Dongfang, so they stood at the table and sang again, and before they sang a few words, a wine bowl flew over and smashed on the woman, "The singing is too ugly, get out." ”
The father and daughter hurriedly shut down and retreated to the wall in horror.
Wu Dongfang turned his head to look, and saw that it was the diners at the middle of the room who threw the wine bowl, there were five people at that table, although they were well dressed, they were not good-looking, and they were not good people at first glance.
"Let's go. Wu Dongfang retracted his gaze and waved his hand at the father and daughter.
The father and daughter thanked each other again and bowed their heads and left.
After the two left, Wu Dongfang also stood up.
"What a good man. Someone said.
Wu Dongfang did not respond, when everyone did not do good things, the person who did good things would be resented by everyone.
"Damn thing. Someone scolded.
Wu Dongfang still didn't squeak, turned around and walked out, he was a fugitive, he couldn't cause trouble.
But his forbearance did not change the other party's hand, but made the other party feel that he was strong and capable, and several people came over to stop him, "I lost something at home last night, and the back of that thief is exactly the same as yours." ”
Wu Dongfang didn't answer, if he was tough, he would not have to do it, and if he did, he would alarm the government. But if he continues to endure it, the other party will conduct a body search next, and his identity will be exposed as soon as he searches.
