Zhou Xing didn't learn this, but he could guess it by looking at his expression.
After all, the two of them couldn't talk to each other. Uncle Zhou was a man of few words and was silent. After dinner, he had nothing to do with Zhou Xing. He still had things to do at home, so he sat for a while and then left. Not long after,
Two more villagers, one curious and the other enthusiastic, came to look at Zhou Xing.
From then on, the young man took care of him at night, and during the day, the neighboring villagers came to look after him, either alone or in the company of two or three people. Among them, Zhou Ronger and Mrs. Cui were the ones who came the most, and they were also Zhou Xing's favorite.
See. This Zhou Xing was originally a lively person. He was looked after by others, and he was afraid that others would worry, and he was not willing to remain silent. As long as the villagers were around, he had to learn the local dialect. There were also a group of young children, who had been brought in by the adults at home.
Later, I liked watching Zhou Xing make gestures and learn to speak while wearing a mask. I really regarded Zhou Xing's place as a place to play. He often came here and playfully asked Zhou Xing to speak. Although he made a lot of jokes, his dialect was still good.
He made rapid progress, and Mrs. Cui praised Zhou Xing for his intelligence.
Gradually, Zhou Xing also learned about his landlord's situation. The young man's surname was also Zhou Mingbao, but he was not from the same clan as Uncle Zhou. He was brought here by his father eight years ago. He had hunting skills inherited from his ancestors and knew how to pick herbs. It turned out that
He was also highly respected by the villagers. After his father left the year before last, the young man lived alone and had no family to support, so he hunted wild animals, exchanged them for wine, or called several young men of about the same age to come over and have a delicious meal.
Last meal. He is very enthusiastic and often gives away extra wild animals to the villagers for free. He has good archery skills inherited from his family, and his skills are unmatched by any hunter in the same village. Therefore, no one in the whole village dislikes him.
.He is obviously the leader among the young men.
The people who drank together that day were also close friends of Zhou Bao. One was Zhou Can, who was Zhou Ronger's cousin. He was the smartest and most intelligent person. The other was Wang Tong, who was 21 years old and was also born as an Orion, although his skills were not as good as Zhou's.
Although they are not very skilled in martial arts, they are thick and strong. In terms of strength alone, they really have no rivals in the village.
A few days later, Zhou Xing asked Zhou Bao to chop down two small trees with branches, measure their heights, and make a simple crutch. From then on, he no longer had to lie down in the house.
, using crutches, he could still look around. Seeing Zhou Yuzhu’s strange look, the children became even more curious. They often followed the group behind him, and sometimes even led Zhou Xing to his own home to play. Zhou Xing saw the beautiful scenery and friendly people here.
He is simple and honest, and he is treated sincerely by adults and children, which gradually makes him feel at ease. Even when he thinks of the family, he just sighs.
In the past month, Zhou Xing's injury has improved greatly. Although he still has to use crutches, it is not a serious problem. He has become familiar with the people in the village. At noon, eating hundreds of meals has become a habit. His dialect skills are getting better and better.
They came more and more, and although long speeches were not enough, simple exchanges were no longer a problem. Zhou Xing was grateful to Zhou Bao and the others, and he also liked their simplicity and boldness. Zhou Xing also drank a lot, was free and easy, and he was a good person.
He came from a sales background, and his ability to observe people's emotions when talking was extraordinary. He also talked interestingly, and over time, they had already become die-hard brothers. No one mentioned Zhou Xing's life experience.
Zhou Ronger was also familiar with Zhou Xing. Every time she mentioned how Zhou Xing burst into tears, she burst out laughing. Zhou Xing had nothing to do with Zhou Ronger in front of his brothers, so he had to let them laugh.
On this day, the brothers were chatting in the courtyard. Zhou Ronger and Mrs. Cui walked in. In Mrs. Cui's hand, there was a small square package. Everyone gave Mrs. Cui a gift and invited Mrs. Cui to sit in her room.
The lady looked at Zhou Xing and said: "When I asked the young master about his origin that day, he couldn't remember it. I wonder if it's been more than a month now. What can the young master remember?"
Zhou Xing hurriedly gave a salute and said: "Madam, you are too polite. Zhou Bao and Zhou Can helped me save my life, and you and the fellow villagers are so caring. I really don't dare to be called a lady and a son. Madam wants to see it."
Just call me by my name, just like you did to them. As for my life experience, although my leg injury has almost healed, I can't remember anything except my name." Zhou Xingbian
As I was thinking about it, I really hoped to know something. It would be best to know the origin of this physical body so that I could have a plan for the future.
Seeing that Zhou Xing was very sincere and not polite, Mrs. Cui said: "That's fine, I'm not polite, just treat you like them." Then she pointed at the package on the bed and said, "Open it and take a look."
Zhou Xing stepped forward and opened the package. When he opened the package, he saw some folded clothes inside. The materials were very luxurious. Zhou Xing didn't know why, so he looked up at Mrs. Cui. When Zhou Can saw him, he loudly said: "Look at what others are doing.
This is what you wore when we rescued you."
Others looked at Zhou Xing in disbelief and nodded in affirmation. Zhou Xing still felt strange. He took out the robe and shook it open. When he looked at it, he found that it did not match his height. Although the robe was damaged a lot, it did not match his height.
But it has been starched and washed, and if there is any stain, it is repaired with fine thread and dense needles. When Zhou Xing took out other clothes, it was the same.
When Zhou Xing saw these things, he thought about his beautiful hands and tender skin, and knew that before he came here, he should have come from a wealthy family, and was by no means an ordinary citizen. He just didn't know his origins.
Under these clothes, there was another small bag with some gold and jade ornaments beside it. When Zhou Xing picked it up and looked at it, there was no writing on it. He only knew that it was an item of wealth, but it had no identifying value.
Mrs. Cui looked at Zhou Xing with a look of confusion and shock. She could see that she had indeed forgotten all about the past. She couldn't help but sighed and said: "Zhou Xing, I am not being polite. I keep calling you son. Concubine."
Growing up in Chang'an, I have seen a lot of things. When they rescued you, your clothes were all dirty. Even these things were given to me for safekeeping. When I looked at them, I knew that you must be someone with a background.
, so I always call you Young Master. Moreover, in this small bag, there is a big seal. Although I am illiterate, when I was in Chang'an, I heard people talk about the rules of seals. The gold seal and silver button are the rules for making a king.
, this seal is carried with you, and it is most likely the identity of the prince of the clan."
Zhou Xing was stunned after hearing this, Prince? He is actually a prince? Although these villagers only know how to avoid the war and do not know who is the emperor currently, but if he is really a prince, no matter what, he will be a high-ranking official with a generous salary and immortality.
May you enjoy eternal blessings. This is really pie in the sky. It seems that Meng Ersheng is right when he says that if heaven wants to bring great blessings to people, it must first give them hardships to avoid them not knowing how to enjoy the blessings. Oh, so and so, beautiful women, wealth and silk,
It’s not like traveling through time in vain.
Zhou Xing was thinking happily, but Zhou Ronger had already opened the small package and handed over the seal. Zhou Xing carefully looked at the seal, which was three inches square and had two dragons as buttons on the upper plate. When he turned it over, he saw that it was a six-character official script in Yang script.
Come, it is "the treasure of Prince Siji"
The treasure of Prince Siji, am I the Prince of Siji? Then what should my name be? Is it also Zhou Xing? What is Prince Siji doing here? He doesn’t have any royal guards, beautiful bodyguards or anything like that?
Zhou Xing was just thinking about it, but Zhou Can poked him with his hand and said, "Zhou Xing, don't just think about it, tell us what is written on it?"
Zhou Xing gestured with his right hand and said, "The treasure of Prince Siji is the seal of Prince Siji."
Mrs. Cui smiled and said: "Since Zhou Xing recognizes the words, he must understand them too, right?"
Zhou Xing put down the seal. Although he felt that it would be quite beautiful if he were a prince, he smiled bitterly and said: "Although I recognize this word and know that it is a seal of heir, I really don't know if I am really this prince."
, I don’t know everything. I don’t even know if this prince is named Zhou Xing.”
Mrs. Cui nodded and said: "This is difficult to handle. This is a remote place in the mountains and there is no way to inquire. However, when I came to Xingyuan from Chang'an, I heard that there were people who fled with the emperor.
My younger brother is the Prince of Jijun. The owner of this seal should be the second generation Prince of Jijun."
Zhou Xing originally knew a little about the history of the Tang Dynasty, but he heard Mrs. Cui say that the emperor fled. Thinking about it carefully, this Mrs. Cui fled more than 20 years ago, and it was the ridiculous emperor who was later called Xizong. In terms of time,
Come on, this is not the last few years of Tang Zhaozong's reign. In these years, the emperor and the clan are like hostages. This one is pulled here and that one is snatched away. They can't do anything. Let alone the rich clothes and food, there are
He was hungry all the time, especially in the end. Zhu Quanzhong, that bastard, had killed many high-ranking officials and clans since he took control of the court. In the end, he became the emperor, and it seemed that he had driven all the clans of Zhou and Tang Dynasties to the Yellow River.
Even if we are really a prince, the final outcome will definitely not be good. After finally escaping, we can't jump into the fire pit again. Our lives are important, and if we lose our lives, we will have nothing.
The gold and silver treasures are gone, the beauties and carriages are gone, don’t those false names of glory and wealth have to be alive to be useful? Moreover, this place is remote and hard to find, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is self-sufficient. In this troubled world, it is a rare place to settle down.
Zhou Xing made up his mind, put all the stamped clothes into the package, and said to Mrs. Cui: "Madam, I really don't know if I am a prince. Even if I am a prince, I am afraid that the prince will not have a good life in these troubled times.
, Our place has beautiful scenery and is not located in a bustling official road. It is really a paradise to live and settle down. Madam, please keep these things for me. I will talk about it later. I, Zhou Xing, am now healed from my injuries. I have hands and feet, but I can support myself and will not be a burden to everyone.
, Zhou Xing just wants to live a safe and stable life here. I hope Madam and all brothers will take her in." He cupped his fists and bowed to Madam Cui.
Mrs. Cui hurriedly stood up, supported her with her hands, and said: "I am here to show you these things. I just want to help you think about your life experience, so as not to miss you, but I have no intention of driving you away. I know.
If you keep the collection here, I will take it back. Whenever you want to use it, just come to my house to get it. I know that you are very interested in each other, so it is not a burden. If there is food, everyone can eat, and if you have the strength, everyone can contribute.
That’s it, don’t be so polite from now on. I’m so proud, just call me Aunt Zhou.”
Everyone also said yes, and Zhou Xing thanked them one by one. After a while, everyone dispersed. Zhou Xing and Zhou Bao had a rest respectively. Zhou Bao had nothing on his mind. He had been tired for another day and just lay down when Zhou Bao started snoring.
Xing was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, thinking to himself: "Since I am the one who wore these clothes, it seems that my status as Prince Siji is not bad. Although Prince Siji is a little lower than the prince, then
He is also a king. Alas, it is a pity that the time is not right. It will take decades for him to gain this status, and he can still control the wind and rain, and be rich and prosperous. Now, those military generals in the vassal towns are all dominating one side, even the princes and princes.
Cut it off if you find it, let alone a county prince who doesn’t know whether it’s true or false.”
Then I thought again: "I have finally traveled through time. Is it possible that I can live my whole life in this mountain in vain? If so, wouldn't it be a fortune for someone who abandoned his wife and daughter to stay here? But he can't live here honestly.
I just stay here, relying on my incompetence in literature and martial arts, and go out to fight for the world. The five generations of the Five Dynasties who have been in chaos for 50 years are just looking for death. Isn't that not looking for death? "
"Even if I stay here, I still have to do something. Seeing that my injury is almost healed, although the mountain people are simple, they can't raise an old man for nothing. Is it possible that I have to open up wasteland and cultivate the land myself, and then get a
Is your daughter-in-law going to be a fool for the rest of her life? These great masters are really not that good. How come when others travel through time, they either have unparalleled martial arts skills or are extremely smart. Why are you so stingy when it comes to me? You really bully honest people!"
For a while, I was tossing and turning, sometimes eager to try, sometimes resentful, sometimes wanting to be content with the situation, sometimes unwilling. I kept tossing until almost dawn, and then fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, it was already bright. When I looked at Zhou Bao, he had long disappeared. I thought Zhou Bao saw that he was sleeping soundly and left alone. Zhou Xing got up, washed up, and helped himself to food. He was still on crutches.
I strolled outside. This Zhou Bao's yard is outside the village, and the terrain is several feet higher than the village. There is a slight mist at this time. The village is hazy and shrouded in the fog, and the green mountains in the distance to the left and right are hidden in the fog.
Inside, you can vaguely see the occasional barking of dogs, which adds to the tranquility.
Zhou Xing still hesitated in his heart. Although he knew that there were dangers outside the mountain and living in seclusion was the only way to survive, but what would happen if he stayed here for a long time? After thinking for a long time, but to no avail, he couldn't help but sigh.
Using crutches, I walked towards the village.
It was farm break at this time. Except for some young men who went up to the mountains to hunt, most of the others were at home. There were only a few children playing in the street. When they saw Zhou Xing, they all greeted him with a smile. Zhou Xing walked leisurely and passed by.
Villa, came to the river.
The small river in this valley is not wide, only about one foot. The water is clear and runs along the terrain. The river is winding and winding, which was originally formed by natural erosion. On both sides of the river, there are worlds created by the villagers, which are large or small.
There are many small ones. He walked along the river, stopping and walking, and kept mumbling to himself.
Zhou Xing was like this for several days in a row. No one cared about him. On this day, Zhou Xing ignored it and walked upstream along the river. After only three miles, the mountain gradually became steeper and he reached the point where a small stream merged with the river.
At this point, the two source streams of this river flowed from the southeast and northeast respectively. At this point, they merged into one river, and its power doubled.
