Hekou Town——

This is an adobe house with a tiled roof, a fire is burning in the stove, the room is shrouded in a soft orange light, and the adobe kang and adobe tables are all polished.Chen Chrome was wrapped in warmth all over his body, his clothes, shoes and socks were all dried, and he collapsed on the kang, refusing to move, staring at the bouncing fire in a daze.

After a while, a young man dressed as a blacksmith opened the door and came in. The wooden door made two creaking sounds, and he sat on the edge of the kang and wiped his sweat with a yellowed linen towel.

Chen chrome was interrupted by the sound, and remembered something again. A carp sat up straight, smiled and nodded to the man, moved in, and then took out a roll from the inner pocket of his clothes into a small Barrel of parchment.

The man saw that Chen chrome's right hand curled up and put it on the sheepskin roll, then squeezed it twice, stepped over to the stove, picked up a small piece of carbon strip and handed it to Chen chrome.The latter was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

The young man asked, "Are you a scholar?"

Chen Chrome smiled wryly: "I've read some books, but then I stopped reading if I didn't want to."

The man sighed: "Only the rich can study. In this world, some people are born with good lives and some with low lives. It's all determined by God."

Chen Chrome glanced at him: "You can't say that, I don't have anything now, and I would like to thank you for letting me stay in the house for a night. To be honest, this is the best time I have spent in this period of time." one night."

The man laughed loudly when he heard the words, and slapped his thigh vigorously with the palm of his hand: "You are right! In such a world, no matter how many books you read, you are still under my roof. In my opinion, reading is not a problem. It’s useless, we need to rely on our hard skills to survive and live.”

Chen Chrome smiled awkwardly, looked down at his own map, circled it with a carbon strip, and drew the fourth stroke of the third character "正"—it has been fourteen days since he came to this world. It has been six days since Jingxing Mine left for Xianyang.

On the first day of departure, due to inexplicable reasons, he was struck by lightning and wasted a day.Then, he went out day and night and drove for three days.On the third night, he climbed over a big mountain and came to the corner of the Taihang Mountains. He met a young man playing the piano by the stream. Chen Ru thought about it repeatedly, and always felt that there was something very strange, so he put it aside for the time being. A triangle is drawn at the approximate location at the foot of Taihang Mountain.

My original plan was to go west to the foot of Taihang Mountain, detour north to Bingzhou, seek help from Li Hong's acquaintances, enter Qin State as a businessman, cross the Yellow River at Longmen Ferry, and head west to Xianyang.

But the weather was getting worse and worse along the way. He followed the advice of the young man, avoided the autumn flood caused by the heavy rain upstream, and changed his course to the southwest. He planned to go all the way to Yuncheng and cross the Yellow River from Pujin, which is south of Longmen Ferry.

The advantage of this route is that there are many villages along the way, but it also brings troubles to myself who can't tell the difference between the southeast and the north. He took the wrong road at a crucial fork. Walked directly to Yuncheng, but mistakenly took Xiamatou Village as Shangmatou Village, and the final direction of travel became northeast.

Even more wrong, he didn't realize his wrong direction until he crossed a river and the last boat was broken by the flood, and there was no way to turn back at this time.Fortunately, with the help of the old boatman, grandfather and grandson, he pointed out a route to Maojindu, the southernmost of the three Yellow River ferry crossings.

However, no one expected that there would be a flood in the middle of the night, and they would be washed into an inexplicable river valley. It is the best way to go to Yuncheng from this place, but in any case, they need to pass through Tunliu, an important military area of ​​Qin State. , not far to the west of this village.

He had to find a way to sneak into the city, Chen Ru threw off the carbon strip, lay down on the kang with his head in his arms: "What should I do!"

The man in the same room went to the fire and turned over the fire with a stick of wood, hugged the quilt and was about to fall asleep. Seeing Chen Chrome's crazy appearance, he seemed to find it very funny: "What kind of trouble did you encounter? You are all good scholars. Talk about it on paper, let me talk about it, and I will help you think of a way."

Chen Rue let out a long sigh: "I'm going to Qin, but I don't have a household registration card, I don't have anything, I don't know what to do!"

The man said indifferently: "Qin is not a good place, why go there?"

Chen Chrome: "I don't want to go either. I got separated from my elder brother and have to go to Qin to find him."

The man asked: "Without a household registration card, it is impossible to pass Tunliu. I advise you not to take risks."

Chen Chrome: "No matter what, I have to find my elder brother. He is my only relative in this world."

The man said again: "What else do you have on you? If you have money, you can make ghosts turn the mill. Bring out some valuable things. Maybe you can buy a household registration card outside the city of Tunliu. There are many refugees outside the city. chaos."

The light bulb on Chen Chrome's head lit up: "Yes! Let me see..."

As he spoke, he simply took off his coat, and poured out a pile of messy things in a clanging manner—sheepskin water bags, dry food bags, embroidered bacon bags, small crossbows, money bags, harmonicas, boxes for harmonicas, etc. , all of which were randomly stuffed on Li Hong's body when he was leaving. Since he has been walking in the deep mountains and old forests, he has never opened the purse: "I hope Li Hong can give me something good, but looking at him like that, he is probably quite poor." .”

The man spotted Chen Chrome's purse at a glance, pulled it out of Chen Chrome's hand, seemed to immediately remember that it belonged to someone else, and said "Sorry" to Chen Chrome.

Chen Chrome waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.The man took the money bag in his hand and weighed it: "Your money bag is not an ordinary person's thing."

"Open it and have a look," Chen Chrome nodded quickly, watching him open the purse, blinded by a piece of golden beans: "Isn't this brass?"

The man was taken aback, picked up a golden bean from Chen Chrome's bag, put it in his mouth and bit it hard: "Gold! One, two, three...seventeen, there are seventeen!"

Chen Ru was so happy that he was about to fly, he lay on his back and gestured with his arms outstretched: "I've never felt that gold is so precious! Yay!"

As he said, he took out three balls from the inside and handed them to the man: "I'll give this to you, thank you and your family for taking me in for the night."

The man was not polite, and happily took it, and the two chatted about something, and fell asleep without knowing it.

The next morning, Chen Ru woke up with a smile. The man also woke up early in the morning. He greeted the whole family and cooked a hearty breakfast. He killed a chicken, boiled a large pot of corn, and poured a small Pot of rice wine.

Although Chen Chrome didn't have much appetite, she couldn't help being happy that the problem was solved, and now that she had money, she could buy a household registration card, pretend to be a businessman, and go to Qin State to find people in a legitimate way.

After the meal, Chen Ru helped to clean up the dishes. There were quite a few people in this family, old and young, and they were very polite to him when they knew about his generous donation.

Before leaving, Chen Ru couldn't help touching the money bag again, and took out a golden bean from it to give to the family.

Chen Chrome: "???"

He looked at the "golden bean" in his hand, which seemed to be an ordinary pebble from all angles.

"This...did I dream last night?"

Seeing this, the man's expression changed, and then he quickly put on a smile, walked over and patted Chen Chrome on the shoulder: "Are you still on your way? It's time to go while it's still early."

Chen Chrome raised his head, stared at him with wide eyes: "My..."

The man gave him a strong push inexplicably: "Let's go!"

The moment he raised his hand, Chen He concentrated his attention, and clearly saw the metallic luster of gold in bits and pieces from the fiber gaps of the sackcloth he was wearing.

Chen Chrome couldn't believe it: "You won't..."

The man didn't give him a chance to speak: "You are a person who knows the book and the etiquette, and you must repay your kindness. If we hadn't taken you in here for a night, you would have been eaten by wolves, tigers and leopards in the wild."

For some reason, Chen Ru felt more sad than angry. In a moment, two huge tears were rolling in his eyes, and his voice was trembling: "You need money, you can tell me. I... ...I can give it to you, so what does it matter if you want it all? I can give it to you, give it to you!"

As he spoke, he shook out all the stones in the purse and threw them on the ground: "But you can't, you shouldn't... like this..."

When the two old women saw Chen Ke and the man in a stalemate in the courtyard, they hurried over tremblingly with crutches.

The old man's face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were cloudy, and there was a trace of sincere compassion in his eyes: "Little brother, in such a situation, isn't it good enough for us to treat you, an unknown foreigner? It's not easy for everyone, and this big family Yes, everyone is grateful for your kindness."

Chen Chrome took a deep breath; "I don't need to thank you, but you have to be reasonable, you can't force me to do good, this is moral kidnapping!"

"It's not the old woman scaring you, little baby!" Another old woman squinted her right eye and looked at Chen He with feigned surprise, "The night before yesterday, a homeless man came to our village. After revealing her identity, the old woman immediately called patrol officers and soldiers to take him away."

"Oh! My eyesight is not good. The more I look at it, the more I see that you are all normal, with weird looks."

"What's going on here?"

"Stealing things, outsiders have unclean hands and feet."

"A ghost is coming after a good deed, which shows that good deeds in this world really should not be done indiscriminately."

The old and the young in the yard gathered together in a short while, chattering, leaving messages all in Chen Chrome's ears, his head was about to explode.

He was very sad, and wiped his tears with his elbow: "Then you call the patrolmen! I am very grateful to you, and I don't care about anything, but you shouldn't steal and blame me instead. You It's unreasonable!"

The man saw that his aura was weak, so he said in a rough voice: "You are a child, how can you have so much money? Even if you have it, what else can you use it for?"

After finishing speaking, the man took out a small golden bean from his bosom, pressed his hands into Chen Chrome's palm, and said in a low voice of concern; "The tramp the day before yesterday also brought a lot of good things with him, and the officers and soldiers knew it was stolen after checking it." He came here. But the man refused to admit it, and was dragged out of the village and beaten to death with sticks, isn't this asking for guilt?"

The old man took out a small cloth bag and put four or five freshly baked pancakes in it, and stuffed them into Chen Chrome's arms: "Let's go, kid, it's not easy for everyone. If the good things on you are really found by the officers and soldiers, But I can’t go anymore, I need to be careful when I’m out, so you should go home soon.”

Chen chrome knew that they were hinting at himself, and touched the hot pancake in his arms. There was no way to explain the truth. Fortunately, all other things were still on his body.

He looked at their appearance, his vision became more and more blurred, he didn't want to care about them any more, he threw the golden beans in his palm casually, turned and left.

The old women exploded at once, and went forward to snatch the golden bean.I don't know who shouted: "Go around from the southeast! You can get to Yuncheng by walking the mountain road!"

Chen Chrome ran like a gust of wind, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and quickly scattered in the wind, and disappeared after a while.

Some images appeared in my mind that seemed very long ago, but in fact they were only seen in half a month-a judge sitting on a high platform who couldn't see his face clearly; a soldier wearing a chemical protective suit and a mask with no expression They are Qin warriors in black clothes and armor, holding torches, their faces shrouded in darkness.

The sad melody of the ancient tune sung by the women in purple lingered in my ears.

Why do people do this?Why is nothing simple?

The walls of the house are bare, leaking wind and rain, the old boatman and his grandson are so sincere to him.This wealthy family between Heluo, with a thriving population and beautiful ponds in fertile fields, is so... so... strange.

So strange!Chen Chrome could only think of the word "strange" because he couldn't understand it at all.

After a while, he gradually calmed down, explaining himself while running, telling himself that this is actually nothing, selfishness is human nature, it is not worth not to be angry about it, but it is emotionally difficult to accept.

Why don't they just talk to themselves?

He is like a flying arrow, with light and shadow flying past him, the sky is cloudy, cloudy and sunny alternately, the sun goes from east to west, and finally sinks to the bottom of the mountain, and everything returns to silence.

He came back to his senses, stood still suddenly, braked suddenly and dragged out a long and deep footprint on the gravel road, only then did he realize that it was already the middle of the night.

On both sides, there are pitch-black towering mountains.I am trapped in a mountain valley with a strange terrain. The skeletons of antelopes are still dotted with carrion, and mosquitoes and flies are densely arranged on it. It is simply a natural hunting ground.

The disgusting scene made him feel anxious, thinking about whether to back out of the valley or run forward in one breath.

Chen Chrome moved his footsteps lightly, and crushed the remains of an unknown animal under his feet with a "crack".

In the darkness, a pair of dark green eyes flashed in the darkness.

With a howl of a wolf, the huge predator crazily attacked Chen Chrome!If it is against ordinary people, it is almost at this moment that they can bite their throats.

However, Chen Chrome was highly concentrated at this time, and all his senses were extremely sharp. He turned sideways and wiped the huge fleshy palm of that thing, barely avoiding its sudden attack.

The giant beast's iron claws wiped several bloodstains on his right face, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood, with two shattered final teeth.Chen Chrome took a closer look, and found that the giant beast was gray and black, its hard hair was covered with blackened blood stains, its ears were in a triangular shape, its limbs were long and slender, its eyes glowed green, its masseter muscles were tense, and its saliva flowed from its mouth. The corner of the mouth was left, and the face was extremely ferocious - it was a gray wolf with a length of nearly two meters!

Chen Chrome was so frightened that his legs became weak, completely overwhelmed by the aura of the gray wolf, he didn't think about whether to fight back at all, and ran away almost as soon as he saw its face clearly.

The giant wolf roared up to the sky, and the roar shook the sky. The mountains on both sides seemed to shake for a while. The weathered rock shell was shattered, and it turned into shrapnel-like gravel and flew around. It shook its head vigorously, He followed closely behind with his slender and powerful limbs.

That is a natural hunter, with an aura of immortality.

Chen Chrome's senses are keen, and his night vision is also very clear, so he can feel the huge coercion even more. He is very scared in his heart, and accidentally tripped over a stone.

Looking at the right moment, the giant wolf leaped forward and threw Chen Chrome to the ground under him, opened its bloody mouth, and decisively bit Chen Chrome's neck!

The razor-sharp fangs pierced the young man's white and weak neck, and blood-colored flowers burst into bloom.

The giant wolf raised its head and let out a victorious roar. Chen Rue was bitten in the carotid artery, and a two-meter-high column of blood spewed out from the blood hole in his neck.Suddenly stimulated by severe pain, he violently threw the giant wolf to the ground, put his hands on the ground, and using his palms as the axis, he rotated his body behind the head of the giant wolf that was lying on his back. Close it, clamp its neck firmly, and give it a final twist!

The muffled sound of dislocated bones was accompanied by the giant wolf's violent struggle. It frantically swung its neck, and the dislocated bones immediately reset. Chen Chrome was overturned by the violent impact. bone wound.

Chen Chrome spat out a mouthful of blood, but it hit the giant wolf right in front of him. His wound healed quickly while taking advantage of this gap, but it took most of his physical strength.One man and one wolf got entangled and tossed and turned, no one could gain the upper hand.

With great difficulty, Chen Ge pushed the crossbow machine out of his boots, hooked his toe, and the whole crossbow machine was thrown into the mouth of the giant wolf. Immediately, he reached in with his left hand, turned the crossbow machine upright, and just opened the wolf's mouth , making him unable to spit out or swallow.The giant wolf held down Chen Ru with its mouth open, and the saliva flowed all over his face, while Chen Ru embraced its head with both hands, turned over, hit the ground dozens of times, and the stone on the ground was smashed into a big hole. , Gravel pierced the back of the giant wolf's head one after another.

However, this gray wolf has a huge physique, and Chen Chrome is absolutely unable to kill it completely for a while. He can only take advantage of the moment when it faints to hold the crossbow tightly and slam it vigorously. The crossbow is pulled out from the giant wolf's mouth, and the wolf He was pushed four or five meters away.

Chen Chrome didn't dare to waste a moment, turned over from the ground and squatted up with both hands and feet, and suddenly exerted force on his thighs, and jumped straight up a big tree about two or three meters high.

The giant wolf reacted, was completely enraged, let out a roar, stretched its limbs, ran up with all its strength, jumped up, and jumped onto the branch at an incredible speed.

Chen Chrome's heart is completely broken!The little bit of fighting spirit that had just been aroused completely dissipated, and he jumped from the branch to escape.The giant wolf followed closely behind, and Chen He could only use his body advantage to nimbly jump and walk through the bushes.

Finally, Chen Chrome leaped forward and nimbly slipped through the gap between a thick but closely intertwined branch. The giant wolf followed his example and also slid, but it got stuck on the branch due to its size. among.

Chen Chrome took this opportunity to flee wildly.

At dawn, it seemed that he finally got rid of the giant wolf, but his physical strength was also very exhausted. No matter what three seven or two one, he climbed to the top of a big tree, covered his figure with dense leaves, and, as usual, He also tied himself tightly with vines, and fell asleep in an instant.

However, wild wolves seem to rely on more than just eyes for hunting.
