After a busy day's work, Zhang Cundao returned home, washed himself, lay on the bed and closed his eyes. This time, he easily entered the world of mist.
Zhang Cundao opened his eyes suddenly and saw a red light coming towards his face. He was startled and immediately shot a red light towards the red light.
Then he heard an 'ouch' sound, but it was Feng Wu's exclamation.
He took a closer look and discovered that the red light was coming from somewhere. It was clearly a piece of red silk cloth. The red light he shot out directly ignited the red silk cloth and burned it to ashes.
"This is my favorite handkerchief..." Feng Wu said sadly.
"Ah!" Zhang Cundao couldn't help shouting. At this time, he realized that he was lying on the bed, and Feng Wu was sitting beside the bed. Not far away, Di held the master tightly and was peeking here.
"You...why are you in my room?" Zhang Cundao said confused.
Feng Wu glanced at him and wanted to be angry, but in the end she was not angry. She said: "You were drunk. We brought you in. I just wanted to rub your head, but you burned my handkerchief...
…”
The dungeon over there also nodded and said: "Yes, Master, Miss Fengwu wanted to give you a massage. She said that it would help you sober up quickly, but I didn't expect that you would sober up so quickly... Could it be, Master?"
Were you just pretending to be drunk?"
"I..." Zhang Cundao was about to say, 'How could I pretend to be drunk?' But the next moment, he was stunned. He said, "Did you just help me in?"
Di Lao and Feng Wu nodded and looked at him with some confusion. Why did he react so loudly?
'It's strange... the flow of time here seems to be different...' Zhang Cundao calmed down immediately, and he immediately thought of this problem.
I spent a whole day in the real world, but it seemed like just a moment here. Could it be that the flow of time here is extremely slow?
He thought about it for a while and felt that something was wrong. If the time flow here is extremely slow, then it would have taken almost a day for him to arrive in Taoyuan Township, so it should have been a long, long time in the real world!
But it’s just one night in the real world! What’s going on?
Zhang Cundao was thinking in surprise. Feng Wu and Di Lao looked at the uncertain changes on his face and felt a little scared. The two of them looked at each other and then asked Zhang Cundao softly: "Brother Zhang, is there something wrong?"
question?"
When Zhang Cundao came back to his senses, he saw that Feng Wu and Di Lao suddenly became nervous. He quickly said: "This is none of your business. I thought of some other things."
As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, and the pure aura in his mind gave a crazy warning. Suddenly, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
When Di Lao and Feng Wu saw him suddenly acting like this, they were stunned. They quickly asked: "Brother (Master) Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Cundao felt as if his throat was blocked at this time. He wanted to speak, but he did not have the strength to speak.
His performance made Di Lao and Feng Wu panic. However, at this moment, a faint light suddenly lit up outside the window, and then a cough sounded: "Guests, it's getting late, turn off the lights and go to bed early."
Bar."
The voice was none other than that uncle.
When the uncle's voice fell, Zhang Cundao's whole body relaxed, as if the things that restrained and pressed him suddenly left! He gasped hard and coughed violently.
"Huh? Are you awake, young man? You sober up pretty quickly." The uncle let out a light sigh, and then said: "Get a good rest, and don't go out of the room when it gets dark. It's quite dark outside, for fear of wolves."
His words seemed to be a warning. After hearing this, Zhang Cundao said quickly: "Thank you, uncle, for reminding us. We understand."
The uncle said "hmm", then slowly walked away with the oil lamp, and eventually the light disappeared.
Zhang Cundao also said at this time: "Turn off the lights and go to bed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Lao blew out the oil lamp and darkness enveloped the room.
At this time, Zhang Cundao said: "Feng Wu, just sleep on the bed."
When Feng Wu heard this in the dark, her face turned red. She coyly said: "This... this..."
Zhang Cundao added: "Di Lao and I can just make a bunk on the ground. Don't sleep too deeply at night."
"Ah...oh..." Feng Wu suddenly reacted when he heard this. At this time, Zhang Cundao got off the bed and gave up his position to Feng Wu.
Di Lao took out a straw mat from his stomach, blew away the dust on the ground, and then threw the straw mat on the ground. Zhang Cundao and Di Lao lay on the straw mat.
At this time, Zhang Cundao suddenly said softly: "Feng Wu, do you feel that you have become much more cheerful after entering Taoyuan Township?"
Feng Wu, who was lying on the bed, was stunned for a moment, then started thinking.
Yes, since she entered Taoyuan Township, she has felt less depressed. It seems that there are not so many worries in her heart, and her guilt has become much lighter...
"This place is indeed a peaceful place..." Zhang Cundao said this meaningfully, and then said: "Okay, go to sleep. I think I have thought too much. There should be no danger at night."
The pure aura in his mind was still warning waves, but the intensity had been reduced a lot. The pure aura seemed to be telling him that the danger had not gone away, but that the danger was no longer paying attention to him.
Zhang Cundao was still savoring this feeling, and then he heard slight snoring. In the dungeon next to him, Feng Wu on the bed, and even the lying master had fallen asleep.
It had been a long day today, but they were exhausted. Now they relaxed and fell asleep soon.
At this moment, Zhang Cundao suddenly felt something. He immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Then, he heard a faint creaking sound at the door, but the door was pushed open a small crack. In the crack of the door, a dim oil lamp lit up, and a pair of eyes stared into the room.
After staring at him for a long time, his eyes finally converged, the door crack was opened again, the lights dimmed, and the footsteps became farther and farther away.
Zhang Cundao didn't dare to open his eyes at this time. He could only close his eyes and slowly wait for the pure spiritual light to calm down.
Gradually, a wave of sleepiness came over him, and he fell asleep...
At the fifth watch of the rooster's crow, the rooster's crow sounded, awakening everyone in the room.
Everyone became hazy and looked at the white sky outside the window. It was dawn! The warning of pure aura in Zhang Cundao's mind also disappeared.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the aunt's voice came: "Guests, get up, have some breakfast, and the head of the house will take you to the village chief."
After spending the first night safely, Zhang Cundao felt a little more at ease. He responded and walked out of the room with everyone.
Today, the uncle did not work in the fields. Instead, he borrowed the ox cart from Lao Wang's family next door and took Zhang Cundao and the others to the village chief's house. It is said that Lao Wang next door may have some money from selling liquor, and he also has an ox cart at home.
The honest big oxen was chewing hay in his mouth. When he saw Zhang Cundao and the others coming, he just glanced at them. When everyone got on the oxcart, they smelled a faint aroma of wine.
The uncle shouted, whipped his cattle whip, and the old scalper took steps towards the outside of the village.
There are seven or eight households in Qiancun, Taoyuan Township, and the houses are quite far apart. The big ox slowly walked on the dirt road, left the village, and entered the path in the forest.
The trees in this forest are very lush, the forest is deep and dense, and it is very quiet.
The uncle drove the cow and said, "Don't go into this kind of forest. There will be wolves in it. It will be bad if a wolf takes you away."
As soon as he finished speaking, as if in response to his words, several wolf howls suddenly came from the forest. Then, several big bad wolves came out of the forest.
Seeing these wolves, the big ox pulling the cart became angry. It lowered its head and began to snort, spitting out white air from its mouth and nose.
The uncle also said at this time: "Don't be afraid, everyone, the big ox is very good at dealing with these wolves." After he said this, the big ox took off its shackles and rushed towards the wolves.
Not to be outdone, several wolves rushed towards the big ox.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the big ox lowered its head and raised its horns towards a wolf. In this move, the golden ox raised its head and directly pushed a wolf into the air.
At this moment, a wolf sneaked up from behind and bit the cow's butt. But the big ox seemed to have expected this move. It kicked its hoof back violently, and a golden bull hoofed up.
Just kick the big bad wolf back into the woods.
The last wolf rushed towards the uncle at this moment.
The uncle drew out his cattle whip and, not to be outdone, beat the big bad wolf head and head. In just a few blows, the wolf was beaten to pieces, and ran away with a howl!
The uncle sneered and said, "You guys still want to defeat me? Go home and practice for a few more years!"
Several wolves were beaten to a pulp, and the big oxen came back to pick up the shackles and continued to pull the oxcart.
All this happened very quickly. The uncle glanced at Zhang Cundao and the others, and said with a smile: "It's okay, there may be some dangers along the way, but Big Scalper and I can handle it."
He pointed at the big ox with a smile and said: "Even though Dahuang is just a cow, he is very good at hunting. Lao Wang relies on him to deliver goods in the village."
Zhang Cundao nodded and suddenly asked: "Is the village big? How long does it take to get to the village chief?"
The uncle smiled and said: "The village is very big, with five places in front, middle, back, left and right. The center of the village has the most people, and the village chief lives in the center of the village. We will definitely get there before dark."
The village is so scattered... It seems that it is not easy to deal with danger. It takes a day to visit each other in the village. What is going on?
Zhang Cundao couldn't continue to ask. After walking for a long time, the ox cart finally walked out of the dense forest. Then a large lake came into view.
The uncle took a look at the lake and said: "This lake is very deep. Don't go to the lake to play if you have nothing to do. There may be water monsters."
His tone was a little wary, and he didn't talk about the big bad wolf lightly.
Not long after walking along the dirt road by the lake, the road suddenly turned and slowly walked up a hillside. The uncle jumped off the bullock cart and started pushing the cart. Zhang Cundao was about to come down to help, but the uncle quickly said: "You don't need to push the cart, where can you go?"
There is a reason to let guests push carts.”
Zhang Cundao said: "It doesn't matter, I'd better help you push the car."
The uncle shook his head and said, "If you say no, then no. If you really want to help, just take out six steamed buns from the luggage in the car."
Zhang Cundao was startled, and then he saw the inconspicuous little cloth bag placed in the bullock cart. He opened the bag and saw that there were many large white steamed buns inside.
Zhang Cundao took out six steamed buns, and the uncle stared at him and said, "Just take six, don't take more."
Then, he pointed to a flat stone on the side of the road and said, "Just put six steamed buns on the stone."
"Huh?!" Zhang Cundao was stunned. Isn't this steamed bun for them? He thought it was lunch...
But after thinking about it, he jumped out of the car and placed six steamed buns on the big rocks. After doing this, the uncle urged him to get in the car.
When he got in the car, he looked back and found that the six steamed buns on the stone were missing...
After placing six steamed buns, the uncle pushed the cart for a while, and finally it reached the top of the slope. Then the uncle jumped on the cart and said, "Okay, the uphill journey is over, and the rest is easy to go."
As soon as he finished speaking, the big ox began to run wildly. This section was downhill, but the big ox started to let himself go and run wildly.
The cart began to jolt, and the big ox seemed to be getting happier as it ran. It couldn't help but moo. Zhang Cundao and others grabbed the cart. After drifting, cornering, and drifting, the ox finally slowed down.
It slowly lowered its speed, and finally, it resumed its slow speed, as if the wild side just now was fake...
At the end of this section of the slope, the rest of the journey became very flat. Gradually, rice fields appeared on the roadside. There were also farmers cultivating the fields.
The uncle kept saying hello to the farmers around him, and those people responded enthusiastically. Looking at Zhang Cundao, they also showed a hint of surprise.
Finally, the oxcart entered a small village. The houses in this small village were very close to each other, almost one after another. There were also many children playing on the roadside. When they saw the uncle, he greeted him warmly.
Then these children looked at the monk and the others with strange eyes, and then walked behind the bullock cart.
Slowly, a dozen children followed the ox cart. People on the street also came out of the houses and looked at Zhang Cundao and others curiously.
Finally, the bullock cart stopped in front of a big house. The uncle smiled and said, "This is the village chief's house. Everyone, come down."
Zhang Cundao and others got off the bus, and then the uncle led them into the village chief's house.
Not long after, Zhang Cundao met the village chief.
The village chief is an old man with white hair. He is slightly stooped and holding a cane. After listening to the uncle's words, he glanced at Zhang Cundao and others in surprise, and then said: "Are you foreigners?"
Zhang Cundao nodded and said, "Yes, we are..."
The village chief looked at them and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the foreigners here for a long time, but since you are here, you are naturally a member of Taoyuan Township. I will arrange a big house for you to live in. If you
If you have some skills, you can open a small shop; if you don’t have skills, you can cultivate a field."
He smiled, showing his white teeth, and said: "Since you are here, you are from Taoyuan!"
