Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh homecoming
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..." Chu Nan coughed wildly for a while before retching out some of the water in his stomach. He lay down by a quiet river, breathing heavily.
Not far from this river, the water from a large waterfall falling from the sky rushes down, constantly scouring the high stone walls while also providing a tireless source of water to the downstream.
Chu Nan's head is still a little dazed, which is the sequelae caused by being washed down from the waterfall and diving into the pool.
Yes, the only exit of the underground palace imperial mausoleum is indeed the naturally formed underground river. However, what Chu Nan and Yudie did not expect was that after thousands of years, even though the Shennong area had not experienced earthquakes and other crustal movements,
The erosion and erosion of water flow have long since transformed underground rivers beyond recognition.
It was in this situation that Chu Nan and the two of them drifted in the underground river for most of the day. They were pushed by the water for an unknown number of kilometers before they were washed to the ground and passed through the waterfall outside the cave.
He fell headlong into the river... Dizzy, he lay by the river and let the scorching sun scorch his soaked body. The rest of his life after the disaster did not make him feel much emotion, but he kept thinking about the person who was born and died with him.
Beautiful figure.
Yudie had already disappeared in the underground river. Chu Nan was so heavy that he did not dare to search for it, for fear that it would give him a bad result.
He just closed his eyes and silently prayed for Yudie, praying that this woman who had shared weal and woe would appear alive! "Plop!!"
The sound of water falling from the waterfall into the river immediately made Chu Nan open his eyes. He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the pool under the waterfall.
"Wow..." Yudie shook her hair like a hibiscus out of water, and her wet face looked even more beautiful and refined, and extremely beautiful.
"Raindie! Here!!"
Chu Nan happily swam towards her with all his strength, and the two hugged each other tightly in the river. They couldn't help but kiss passionately, rejoicing that both of them could survive safely.
The two people were inexplicably excited about the aftermath of the disaster. They supported each other and swam to the shore. They stayed together tightly and enjoyed the free air and warm sunshine.
"I thought I was going to die..." Yudie leaned in Chu Nan's arms and said quietly, "The underground water flow was so fast that I couldn't figure out the direction at all. I thought I wouldn't be able to hold on in the end."
"There is no end to the journey. Although the process was thrilling, at least we survived."
Chu Nan touched her head and smiled softly, "As long as we reach the outside world, it proves that we have finally returned safely and no longer have to worry."
"Hmm..." Yudie responded softly, closing her eyes and leaning into Chu Nan's arms, enjoying the short-term warmth.
The two of them sat by the river like this for more than two hours. When the noon sun gradually began to set, they got up, put on their dry coats, and began to find their way back.
Surrounding the riverside are towering mountains, so sparsely populated that even from a distance you can't see any farmland or villages.
Chu Nan estimated that they had not left the Shennong area yet, because only in the Shennong Mountains could such pristine and natural scenery be found.
Based on the Shennong area that he remembered in his mind, Chu Nan began to move along the south.
If they are indeed still in the Shennong area, then walking south will lead them out of the mountains and into the plains.
However, after they climbed two mountains, they soon discovered that they had left the mountains and arrived at the plains.
"What's going on?
Could it be that we were washed directly to the edge of the Shennong area by the underground river?"
Chu Nan looked at the overgrown plain area in front of him and couldn't help but said in shock, "Isn't this washed too far?"
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have been drifting for so long, right?"
Yudie replied, "Going out of the Shennong area means that there will be villages soon, which is undoubtedly a good thing for us."
"Well, let's go quickly. Find someone's house and ask them to buy some clothes and pants to change into."
Chu Nan looked at his shabby and tattered clothes and couldn't help but laugh, "I think I'm even more miserable than a beggar now."
Yudie pursed her lips and wanted to smile, but when she thought that she was probably wearing similar clothes, she suddenly couldn't smile.
Of course women love beauty, and the ice and snow goddess Yudie, who is a killer, is no exception. Which woman would tolerate her dirty and dilapidated appearance?
People with mysophobia might even be on the verge of collapse... After walking on the plain for a long time, the two of them found a nearby village.
It seems that this village is not very wealthy. After all, it is a village close to a mountainous area. It has no other source of income except agriculture, so it is naturally a bit backward.
Of course, no matter how backward the Huaxia village is, its life is many times better than that of the Yao people in the mountains. At least there is traffic and transportation here, and food and clothing are still no problem.
Chu Nan didn't know that precisely because of this, he and Yudie encountered the most embarrassing scene.
When the two people walked into the village and wanted to ask the villagers carefully, they did not expect that the villagers would leave when they saw the two people, without looking back and ignoring them. This made them extremely depressed and did not understand what happened.
thing.
Until a little girl in simple clothes from the village suddenly came to the two of them, carrying a big, old bowl with rice and some pickles piled on it, and timidly said, "Brother and sister, my grandma asked me to bring you some food."
.
She said you are poor people in distress and must be starving."
Only then did Chu Nan suddenly realize it. He slapped his forehead in confusion and finally understood why.
It turned out that the two people came out of the water and were stained with muddy water by the river. After being exposed to the sun, they were already sloppy and unkempt, and their hair was unkempt. This made the villagers mistakenly think that they were wandering beggars, and they did not want to mess with them and looked down upon them.
They, so they don’t even want to deal with it! After Chu Nan figured this out, he suddenly felt embarrassed.
After all, he is also a billionaire. He never dreamed that one day he would be regarded as a beggar and a homeless person... "Little sister, thank you, my brothers and sisters are not hungry."
Chu Nan wanted to touch her head, but he was worried that he would scare this little girl who was finally willing to contact him, so he smiled and said, "We just want to ask, what kind of village is this?
Is there a canteen in the village?
My brother and sister want to change their clothes and tidy up their... um, appearance."
The skinny girl, about six or seven years old, quickly understood and asked tentatively, "Brother, are you saying you want to change clothes?"
"Yes, is there a place to buy clothes in the village?
Of course it would be best to have a tailor shop.”
Chu Nan was full of expectations. He really didn't want to be a homeless man for a moment.
Unfortunately, the little girl quickly shook her head and said, "There are no clothes for sale in the village, you can only buy them in the town.
Big brother, how about I ask grandma if she has any clothes for you to wear?"
"Uh...your grandma is a tailor?"
Chu Nan's cold heart rose again with hope.
"No, my grandma is a garbage collector. She should have clothes there."
The little girl's words almost made Chu Nan spit out blood.
When a man is so depressed, he is so embarrassed that he is going to collapse! When did he actually want to ask an old woman who picks up garbage for clothes?
What’s the difference between changing it or not? “Little sister, where is your grandma?
Can you take us there to meet you?"
Yudie said at this time, "I have something to ask your grandma."
"Oh..." The little girl was relatively simple after all. Without thinking, she turned around and pointed, "That's my home over there. I'll take you there."
