Chapter 7:Village

After a night of suffering, the sun finally covered the earth again, but the situation through the team did not improve.It is said that "the journey of a thousand miles begins at the foot", but this life of climbing mountains and mountains is bitter for many modern people.Twelve unlucky eggs lined up in two rows, found some sticks for crutches, and looked for a way out in the rugged mountain trails.

Before the team departure, the team members also inspected the location of Zhou Qingfeng yesterday's landing on paper cranes.Last night's cold wind blew away the broken pieces of paper cranes, and there were only sporadic points at the scene.

“A young Taoist used such a paper crane to quickly send Zhou Qingfeng down from the mountain?”As the temporary leader of the team, Gu Qianshan's grandfather looked at the paper crane fragments with a heavy face.Although even the passage has already happened, the fact that the "paper crane manned" in front of the eyes is still beyond people's conventional cognition.

"Not only paper cranes, but the cheap master I recognized yesterday also fought with another young woman."The equipment and tricks used by both sides are unusual, and with the existence of "spiritual power" and "skill", there is a force in the world that can influence entities by consciousness.Unfortunately, I don't understand this power, and I can't give any more explanation."Zhou Qingfeng replied.

The existence of fantasy force is the first challenge facing the team, especially in the late Ming world seems that there is a force that does not like the arrival of future humans.

The team is good at survival in the wild, followed by Zhou Qingfeng, he said after looking at the direction of the mountain: "from the mountain to here here about two hundred meters, if I want to pass through the forest in front of me from the mountain, at least ten minutes."And this paper crane easily crossed this distance.I don't really know whether to be excited or scared."

Regarding the crossing and the fighting that took place on the mountain yesterday, Zhou Qingfeng was open to all the team members, and no one frowned for it - it was difficult enough to eat or drink, and now it is difficult to face a terrible and strange enemy.Especially Zhou Qingfeng through this matter behind a kind of strange, nothing to do involved in a contradiction.

In fact, there are a lot of strange things that happen to the team.For example, after they pass through the black hole of space-time, they are affected by some kind of law, and the clothes on their bodies are all old-fashioned.Beyond the era of scientific and technological items to Zhou Qingfeng consume the spiritual force personally carry.Ordinary items that can be carried have also changed, such as banknotes all become large treasure notes like waste paper.

“Can you be sure of our current location?”Gu Qianshan asked Zhou Qingfeng and Shi Dong again.

"The monk named Gu Yuanwei mentioned to me about Shenyang, and I think we are probably near Shenyang."Zhou Qingfeng replied.

Stone also nodded, "This mountain is higher, and the temple residue above indicates that there should be people living nearby."I have just found a path that has been annihilated, and I should be able to find the local residents very quickly.We should leave immediately and look for more useful information.”

When they leave, the team is suffering.

It is good to be at home for a thousand days, and it is difficult to go out for a while.All of them are people who have a good life in modern society, and they have an empty stomach and no skills to survive independently.No one can adapt to the life that will suddenly end, just hungry for a night to make everyone's hands and feet soft.

"Can you wait here for twenty-four hours, wait for Zhou Qingfeng to open the island of space and time again to get some food, eat enough and then go on the road?"I'm so hungry I don't want to move."Xu Li's face was ugly.She had the worst physique in the team, and after blowing the wind suddenly and fevered.The two doctors in the team were also helpless to do anything about it, and Guo Jiaming needed to help her in order to act.

"No, I have to go now."Stone, as the only person in the team who has the ability to survive in the field, naturally as the team's action commander, "Last night everyone was tired, I was in the vigil."I didn’t wake anyone up to take my class, because I knew that no one could take my place, I just wanted everyone to rest.I’m glad nothing bad happened.

But I want to tell you that there will be no more good things like this.From now on, the most comfortable days are yesterday.I have just communicated with Grandpa Gu, and from now on I will strictly ask you to ensure that you can all live."

After saying that Shi Dong was on the head, he strode in front to lead the road to find a nearby human gathering point.Grandpa was also relieved to say a few words and follow closely.Other people naturally have nothing to say, and they must stick to their teeth.In this way, the whole team began to walk on the mountain.

In the valley, the road is difficult.Most of them are treachery, with or without a path.From time to time, birds and birds roar in the woods, and they scare people very lightly.Twelve people did not move fast, fortunately, Shi Dong soon found a stream under the mountain, along the stream is always convenient.

“Can I have some water?”Xu Li was powerless to sit on the stone by the stream, and wanted to reach out to the bow water to drink.

Shi Dong said coldly in front of him: "You can't drink raw water in the wild, you want to die, even if you want to drink."

There are not a few people in the team who want to drink water, even Zhou Qingfeng is thirsty to death, and his voice is smoking.The clattering stream was in sight, but Stone said he couldn't drink, and he could only say to others, "Don't drink, there's a big risk."

People can only be patient.

And the other side of the stream came a cheerful shout, alternating the waykeepers came out and shouted: "I found a village in front of us, less than half a step away from us."

Oh, that’s the best news of the day.The hungry and thirsty team cheered, and the ecstasy shouted: "Go and walk with me, and soon."

Through a forest, the team's vision was suddenly open.In the distance, a village near a field.Zhou Qingfeng passed through the field, and the farmers who were bent over the field also looked up at them with surprise.Both sides stood and looked at each other.

"This is a newly reclamation of land, the soil is not good, the seed is sweet potatoes."Li Shuwei, who came from the agricultural technology station, said at the edge of the field, "Sweet potatoes should be introduced to China at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and this thing is the rations of the people at the bottom of the society."I don't see cows, that's not good."

Yu Hongyang, one of the two doctors, also stood by the field to observe the stupid farmers, and sighed after a while: "Welver are generally malnourished, development is limited, and they are small and small."Skin diseases are common and the average life expectancy is not high.”

Zhou Yin, who opened a small restaurant, also came over, frowned and said: "These people are messy, and they are not as good as the beggars of our society."Look at the rags and tattered shirts they wear, and the clothes I usually lose are a hundred times better than that.Oh, my harem dream, why don't you have a beautiful village aunt?"

The twelve people's crossing team stood on the side of the field and watched for a long time, making the farmers in the field very afraid.They were involuntarily evasive in the distance, and others ran in the direction of the village, shouting at the same time.

Without a moment's effort, the direction of the village remembered a harsh copper gong, and the croaking.The farmers in the field ran quickly in the direction of the village with the frightened beast that had been ordered.Zhou Qingfeng and others were very puzzled, and Xu Li asked himself, “What are they running?”We will not harm them, but ask them for food and water.”

After a moment's stay, everyone realized that it was more difficult to mix in the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty than they thought.

“Do we have weapons?”A thousand mountains asked everyone.

Except for a few sticks in my hand, there was obviously nothing else.

The handler took the initiative to stand up and say, "Don't be afraid, I have seen more rural fools and fools, and they are often a little unreasonable."We, of us, are strong, and these farmers seem to be a great threat, and they should be afraid.I'll go to the village alone, and don't come near."

A few words, "take all the food" walked along the direction of Tiankan towards the village.Gu Qianshan ordered everyone to strengthen their vigilance as much as possible and hold the stick, but in the truth, who can't predict what will happen next?Rural fighting doesn’t seem impossible.

After waiting for about half an hour, “take-all” came back slowly.Not only did he come back by himself, but he also carried a small old man with a short hunchback.The little old man's little eyes, unkempt faces, wearing dirty and worn-out clothes, his hands and feet were rough.His hair was thinning, and he was clasped on the top of his head with only a stick, looking funny and pathetic.

The little old man was close to Zhou Qingfeng and others, and then he fell on his knees to Gu Qianshan, and kowtow on his head and said, "Master"."Eat-through" explained to everyone at the back: "There are about 50 or 60 households in the village, and the whole village is surrounded by wooden fences.

The sound of the gong had brought everyone up to the wall, and they were indeed frightened by us.They were equipped with several wooden bows, a dozen spears, and did not come out after guarding the wooden fence.They started shooting me with arrows and shouting for half a day to come out as a man."

In the face of this situation, people are speechless.

“Old man, don’t be afraid.We just passed by and wanted to ask you for some food.We pay.”Grandpa Gu reached out to help the little old man and speak softly.But the little old man did not dare to die, lying on the ground and refusing to move.

"Eat-through" on the side smiled: "This person is at most 40 years old, but it is not an old man."I also told them that we were passing by and wanted to spend money to buy some food and drink, and it was best to take a day off in their village.But they are very hostile to outsiders, and they do not allow us to enter.It's the village rule, and outsiders can't come in."

Coming out of the mountains, the entire crossing team was exhausted.People in modern society lack exercise, such as Zhou Qingfeng, the dead house is almost all to the limit, and it is in urgent need of repair.Everyone hates to have a room to lie down and sleep well after eating at once, but now this wish cannot be fulfilled.

“Why don’t you let us in?”Xu Li did not understand.

Gu is still negotiating with the "little old man" in the village, Zhou Qingfeng whispered: "The status of the farmers in the Ming Dynasty is very low, and no matter the official bandits can easily destroy their lives."The result is that they are very afraid of strangers."

“There is another possibility.”Yin Hu in the team also quietly speculated: "This small village is the settlement of the fleeing farmers and military artisans."It is necessary to know that the taxes at the end of the Ming Dynasty are very heavy, and the farmers who cannot pay the tax can only flee to a place that cannot be controlled by the government forces.And we're dressed up now, and we look at it with some kind of official atmosphere."

Zhou Qingfeng and others will be tired again, but they are from the rich modern society, nutrition is very sufficient, even surplus.Compared with the small and thin villagers in the village, the young and strong of them are very tall.And the dress is also neat and luxurious, regardless of style or color can not be worn by ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty.

Grandpa Gu repeatedly discussed with the "little old man" who was discharged from the village.The "little old man" is inarticulate, the words are vague, with a strong dialect slang, and the momentum is extremely humble, but he is dead and unrelenting.Grandpa Gu had not yet thought of pressing people, and finally talked about half a day only allowed to temporarily settle in a firewood house outside the village.

When it comes to dry mouth, everyone's patience is exhausted.If there is no confidence in their own strength, some young people will be hard.

And only a firewood house on the firewood house, can cover the wind and rain can fall on the place, we have not much idea.Gu used a silver ring he wore as a fee to ask the village for food and hot water.

Seeing the silver ring, the "little old man" sent by the village was bright in his eyes, and he kept kowtolen, and then reminded everyone: "A few old men are good, and they are not bad people."But be careful in this mountain, we have been here recently... haunted!”

What?Haunted!

The faces were green for a while.
