To him, these experiences were dark history mixed with bitterness, but he didn't expect that everyone would listen to them with great interest. Even Xiao Yi, who was quietly playing the role of a waiter next to him, his eyes were shining brightly at this time, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Yeah, I understand, I understand. I used to play in caves when I was in the settlement."
"Really? But I was strictly disciplined by my father since I was a child, and I didn't have much chance to act recklessly. Instead, I came to Liyang to be a pioneer and then traveled all over the mountains and fields..." Guo Bei touched his forehead and sighed, and then saw everyone looking at him curiously.
When he came over, he waved his hands quickly. "Oh, that's too far off topic. I'm fine with everything. But Mr. Gu, have you never traveled again?"
"No, after all, my parents have been very strict since then. If anything, I only have the opportunity to go to the suburbs after work." Gu Chen shrugged regretfully. In fact, the accident in Chenghuang this time,
The reason was also because he went hiking in the countryside during his vacation, but he just didn't mention it.
At this time, the red fish suddenly asked as if he noticed something.
"In other words, Gu Chen's parents are still there?"
"Of course, at least I was quite active when I left."
"In that case, will you go back to Di Qiu to see them?"
"Well, if I can go back, of course I want to go back..."
It is said that if the knife is too sharp, even if the wound is cut, it will not hurt temporarily. Gu Chen subconsciously answered the female flame envoy's sharp question, and after a delay of two or three beats, there was a thump in his heart.
(Of course I want to go back if I can...so that's what I think...)
Since it was an answer that came out of his mouth, it was of course a voice without any hypocrisy. He didn't expect that he would still have such a longing to return to Earth after experiencing so many storms since he traveled through Chenghuang. This really shocked Gu Chen.
Gu Chen fell silent and asked himself.
Although most time-traveling articles describe "time-traveling" as beautiful as rebirth, for Gu Chen, it is definitely not a concept that can be related to beauty, ideals, etc., and it may be closer to "disaster".
.
Before the disaster, there were his dear and beloved parents and relatives on the earth side, his workplace and daily leisure life, and the world he had been exposed to and familiar with since he was born. It was okay to call it "home". However, due to time travel, he suddenly
He drifted to a foreign land, was forced to be separated from his homeland, and lost everything he had accumulated so far.
During that bleak time when he was regarded as a refugee and was looked down upon in Rishengchang, he huddled up in the dark attic and licked his wounds silently. Although Gu Chen never mentioned it to anyone, it was already an unforgettable and tragic memory in his life.
.
Under such circumstances, it is certainly impossible for Gu Chen to feel any gratitude for the so-called "travel".
(That's right, since of course I didn't come to Chenghuang willingly, then it is natural to want to return to my hometown...) Gu Chen sighed.
Although I accept my feelings, "whether I want it" and "whether I can" are two different concepts.
After all, the reason for traveling from the earth to Chenghuang was due to the inexplicable landslide accident. Without knowing the mechanism of travel at all, trying to travel back to the earth is like a foolish dream. Vaguely, Gu Chen guessed that there might be a clue to connect the two worlds.
On that six-winged rainbow ship, I wanted to find out the answer from the fragmented heritage of our ancestors, but I didn't know how much time it would take.
There is little hope of returning to my hometown in my lifetime.
"...Why did Gu Chen suddenly stop talking?"
"So, idiot, do you think you can ask questions like that?"
"Huh? But I didn't ask anything strange..."
The whispers between Guo Bei and Hongyu reached his ears, and Gu Chen suddenly felt a strange mixture of humor and gloominess in his heart. It was obviously a pleasant time to hang out with friends and drive for an outing, but he was suddenly struck by
It would be too inappropriate to be tied up with gloomy emotions.
It's a pity that even if he understood this rationally, he couldn't recover emotionally immediately. Gu Chen tried very hard to raise the corners of his mouth, but in the end he probably could only make a forced smile. Judging from the reactions of Guo Bei and others looking at each other,
It's so bad that even a wry smile doesn't look like a thing.
Fortunately, at this time, there was a noise in the front compartment, and Zazu, who was driving the car, sounded the horn to temporarily distract everyone's attention.
"Young Master Gu, there is a motorcade ahead, would you like to go over and say hello?"
"Convoy?"
Gu Chen turned his head and looked around, and saw several vans dragged by beasts of burden advancing slowly on the official road ahead. The decoration of those vans was quite exquisite, and the flags hanging on the sides of the carriages made Gu Chen vaguely wonder where he had seen them.
A sense of déjà vu. Normally, he would be quite interested in leaning over and taking a look, but at this moment, he couldn't feel that kind of enthusiasm.
"No, leave him alone."
Gu Chen waved his hand listlessly, letting Zazu pass directly.
So the three armored carriages passed by the luxurious carriage one after another, and their rumbling power scared the beasts pulling the carriage to retreat. However, seeing the miraculous creature running so fast in front of them without the need for animal power, the carriage's
Everyone showed panicked expressions.

There were several large rivers in the Shangli Dynasty that spanned various territories, and the large rivers for merchants and fishermen were also one of them.
The big river originates from the Walang Mountains in Nanman territory, flows eastward through Liyang, Jinbo Territory, and merges into the East China Sea. Its perennial mighty river water brings convenience to the people along the coast for farming and irrigation, and it also forms an important part of the dynasty's water transportation.
Main line.
Compared with pack transportation over mountains and ridges, water transportation has much advantages in terms of load and itinerary. Thousands of cargo ships and merchant ships ply the commercial and fishing rivers every day, which generates huge profits that can stun the princes.
Liyang is located in the upper reaches of commercial fishery and is rich in products. Logically speaking, it should occupy a considerable share in it. However, the Sun family of Jinbo, which is located in the middle reaches of commercial fishery, has long been eyeing the fertile Liyang. After several incursions failed, they used navy to blockade them.
The commercial and fishing rivers made it impossible for Liyang to use the rivers to transport logistics, so it was naturally cut off from the profits of water transport trade.
Of course, Li Yang could not accept this situation willingly. However, building a navy was a project that required huge funds and technology. Li Yang seriously lacked accumulation in both aspects, so it was naturally extremely difficult to advance it. The efforts of Li Yang Gong in the past dynasties were only limited.
A small river port was barely built on the river bank next to Lingdu, named Baihe Port. It was the first step in the long march of thousands of miles, but there was no further details on how to proceed next.
Dozens of households in Baihe Port that were originally planned for port operations have so far had to fish and farm to make a living. From this alone, we can know what kind of difficult situation Baihe Port is in. We must express our gratitude to the tyranny that caused such a situation.
Sun, of course the residents of Baihe Port hated him with gnashing of teeth.
Ironically, even though the residents of Baihe hated the Tsunami Sun thieves so much, the first opportunity for Baihe Port to function as a river port since its establishment was the visit of Sun's ship group.
