Chapter 5 I guessed it right

The rafts were drifting for the whole day. At this time, the river valley was already very wide and the river became wider and shallow. There were more and more traces of human activities on the shore. It should be not far from the civilized world. Seeing that it was getting late, Kang Fan leaned the rafts against the shore, tied them tightly on the trees by the river, carried his backpack and pulled Mei Xiang to walk towards the forest not far away.

Mei Xiang's hands were soft and wet, and it was very useful to hold them in their hands. Kang Fan realized that his movement was a bit too proactive. He just subconsciously acted and thought nothing about it. He let go of Mei Xiang's hand. Mei Xiang stuffed his hand back into his hand.

After finding a suitable willow tree, Kang Fan first climbed up the big branch on the high ground, cut the branches with a knife, and built a platform that could accommodate two people rest. Since there was only one sleeping bag, Mei Xiang must have to give it to her. It seemed that she could only feel wronged, so she laid many soft branches on the platform to make herself as comfortable as possible.

Mei Xiang was waiting under the tree, listening to the howlings of wild beasts coming from the wind, her face became paler and paler, and she kept looking around - she was scared.

"Kang Fan, hurry up, hurry up..." Her voice trembled.

Kang Fan quickly jumped off the tree, squatted down, let her ride on her shoulders, and then slowly straightened up against the tree trunk so that she could climb to the newly built platform more than two meters high.

Mei Xiang crawled clumsyly, and one foot was empty, and was kicking him in the face. Fortunately, Mei Xiang was wearing soft walking shoes. That's it, and he couldn't help but scream. Mei Xiang took off her shoes, started crawling again, and kicked him a few more times before she finally succeeded. He squatted under the tree, rubbing his swelling face while panting.

"Kang Fan, I didn't mean it... Girls climb trees as fast as you boys, right?" Mei Xiang leaned her head from the platform and said, her words still trembling, her eyes shivering.

"Cry?" Kang Fan asked with his head raised.

Mei Xiang wiped the corners of her eyes and didn't say anything.

Kang Fan stretched out his body and leaned against the tree trunk lazily, "If you don't let you do it, you'll want to do it."

"I'm coming, and I'm here too, what are you going to do?" Mei Xiang suddenly raised her voice.

Kang Fan said: "This is not a good thing to go shopping, watching movies, and dancing. This is a very dangerous way to explore? Do you understand? In this strange and primitive wilderness, who would have expected what kind of encounter will happen? Once you encounter any danger, I'd better say, what about you?"

"What's wrong with me? What am I doing worse than those boys?" Mei Xiang asked back.

Kang Fan nodded, "Yes, you do better than them. Where did the heroic woman who raised her gun and angrily looked at the wolf pack? Look at how can I take you with me with confidence?"

Mei Xiang immediately sobbed and shouted excitedly: "I was forced! The wolf's mouth is almost touching the clothes. None of the boys stood up, and they were all frightened. Brother Zhong was so anxious! Who would stand up if I didn't stand up?! It's so unlucky, how could he follow you to such a ghost place... My mother doesn't know what it's in a hurry! She ran into you slowly chopping these branches, these broken branches, broken branches!" At the end, she whipped the branches beside her with her hands, venting her emotions, "Who can you follow if I don't follow you? Who can protect me?!"

Kang Fan got furious, and he jumped onto the platform and held her hand. After a few struggles, she didn't break away, then beat Kang Fan with her other hand and cried. Kang Fan took out the Yunnan Baiyao from the first aid kit, poured some of the wounds cut by the branches on her hand, and wrapped gauze.

Mei Xiang sobbed and saw him wrapping her wounds, her tears were very pleasing. A burst of pain shook her heart, and Kang Fan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Mei Xiang stopped crying and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Kang Fan shook his head and rubbed his chest.

Kang Fan understood her actions: These pampered college students have never left the care of their parents and teachers. The comfortable and safe living environment determines that they will be confused and panic when facing such a situation. Mei Xiang is definitely an outstanding example among them. Even she has a weak side, let alone others? After the initial shock and turmoil, her good expectations for the future will be the only sustenance to support them in life, and now she is their expectation and sustenance. If you do not do well, their future life will be unimaginable. During this period, she only cares about how to survive and ignores their psychological feelings. The quality of a person's psychological quality will determine whether the person's attitude towards life is healthy or not, and it is his own mistake. Thinking of this, he began to worry about Wallace Chung - he has to take good care of so many students!

"Okay, stop making trouble, I'm protecting you now. Go to bed." Kang Fan opened the sleeping bag.

Mei Xiang became quiet, obediently entered, reaching out to pull him in as well. He didn't move, and leaned beside the sleeping bag, wrapped her jacket tightly, held the gun in her hand, and closed her eyes.

In the middle of the night, dark clouds covered the moon and it was pitch black all around. Is it going to rain? Kang Fan installed the tactical lamp on the guide rail of the 92 pistol holster, twisted it, and observed the surroundings. He spread the raincoat and put it on the tree branch above his head. Mei Xiang woke up and looked at him with hazy eyes.

"I'm afraid it's going to rain." Kang Fan said.

"Oh." Mei Xiang agreed in a daze, touched one of his arms, hugged them in her arms, and fell asleep again.

Kang Fan's arms clearly felt her warm chest touching with her breathing. She was afraid of waking her up, so she tried to keep her in motion. An unknown beast passed by under the tree, and her bright eyes were shining, which made Kang Fan tremble and even forgot to smoke.

The rain didn't come down in the end. In the early morning, the sun shone warmly on his body, and the fresh air made people feel refreshed. Kang Fan was in a much better mood, hesitating whether to continue to go down the current or expand his search range on the shore. Mei Xiang woke up at some point, hugged him from behind and rested her head on his back. Kang Fan grabbed her hand that reached her chest and suppressed her wild heartbeat.

"I dreamed of my mother...she told me to go home." Mei Xiang said.

Kang Fan didn't know how to answer her, how can she go home? When can she go home?

Mei Xiang cried silently, her body trembling.

Kang Fan did not dare to turn around. He could not face her pretty face. His heart began to hurt again, so he put her hand on his chest and pressed it down with all his strength.

"What's wrong?" Mei Xiang noticed something was wrong.

Kang Fan shook his head and said, "It's time to leave."

Mei Xiang turned to him, looked at him, and suddenly laughed, a crystal tears hanging on her long eyelashes, shaking.

Kang Fan got down the tree first, and Mei Xiang climbed the branches and went down to his back, put her arms around his neck, and couldn't stand it.

"Brother Dabing, can you carry me for a while?" Mei Xiang acted coquettishly.

Kang Fan did not agree or disagree. He held the backpack in one hand and held Meixiang on his back with the other, walked to the river, climbed the wooden rafts, and continued down the river.

I was silent all the way, at noon, I leaned against the shore and rested in a wood. Kang Fan grabbed a few fish from the river, cooked fish soup with fire, and ate with Mei Xiang with biscuits. He then burned boiling water with an aluminum lunch box and filled the kettle. The temperature was very high at this time, Mei Xiang went to a stream beside the woods to wash. Kang Fan built a simple fence for her in the stream with a raincoat and a sleeping bag so that she could take a shower. He walked away by himself and found a suitable place to take a big shower.

Kang Fan finished washing first, changed his clean underwear, washed the dirty clothes he had changed, dried them on the branches, lay on the grass in the forest with his backpack and waited for the plum fragrance. He felt sleepy and fell asleep unknowingly.

I don’t know how long I had been sleeping, but when I woke up, I met Mei Xiang’s gaze as she looked at him. Mei Xiang put his head on his legs and leaned his upper body to block the dazzling sunshine for him. Only then did he know why he was sleeping so well. He didn’t want to get up and still lay down like this. Mei Xiang, who had just taken a shower, exuded a fresh fragrance all over her body, like a lotus in the water, and was amazingly beautiful!

Two bird guns suddenly appeared in sight. Kang Fan was shocked and did not take action immediately. He secretly placed his hand on the holster and looked around. If he didn't look at it, he would be cold. After seeing it, his whole body suddenly became cold!

The owners of the two bird guns were two young men dressed in the Qing Dynasty. They were naked with shiny foreheads, long braids, gray cloth clothes and black cloth shoes, leggings, and gunpowder gourds and cowhide iron sand bags. One of them was carrying two pheasants and a hare in his hand, and the other was carrying a fox on his shoulder. The two looked at them in surprise, with four eyes staring at the boss.

Kang Fan felt Mei Xiang's nervousness, and the muscles on her shoulders hurt.

The four of them looked at each other for a long time without saying a word.

Although Kang Fan had already guessed that they must have traveled through time and space this time, they were suffering from the lack of direct evidence, so they did not dare to be blindly sure. The two hunters who suddenly appeared in front of him finally proved their guesses these days: they were from the Qing Dynasty. They came to the Qing Dynasty!

After calming down, Kang Fan first asked: "I would like to ask you two brothers: What is the realm here?"

The bearded hunter on the left replied, "This is the territory of Ningwu Mansion." An authentic Shanxi accent.

"Then this river is the Fen River?" Kang Fan asked.

The bearded hunter looked at him suspiciously, nodded and responded: "That's it."

Kang Fan now completely understood his geographical location, sat up, turned to Mei Xiang and said, "The Fen River is the largest river in Shanxi, and runs across the north and south provinces, and our camp is in the Fen River Valley. In other words, we have not deviated from our original location, but the times have changed."

Mei Xiang opened her mouth in silence, "What? Times have changed?!"

Kang Fan turned around and asked again, "What year is this big brother?"

The two hunters looked at each other and smiled, and the bearded hunter replied: "It is March 16, 21st year of Guangxu."

Kang Fan held Mei Xiang's face and said solemnly: "Mei Xiang, listen carefully: the change we experienced was a time-space travel, that is, we returned from the early 21st century to the fifth year of the end of the 19th century."

Mei Xiang covered his hands on his hands and stared at his eyes, "You mean we came to the era of the Reform Movement of 1898? I mean we were living in the same era as Emperor Guangxu, Empress Dowager Cixi, Boxer Rebellion, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, Tan Sitong and others?!" As she said that, her tears poured out of her eyes, and her pink lips trembled, trying to continue to say something but couldn't say it.

"Not very accurate, but it's almost the same." Kang Fan wondered what her reaction would be next, and waited nervously.

After a while, Mei Xiang regained consciousness. She lowered her head and said to herself in a dreamlike manner: "That's fine... let's not think about going home..." Speaking of this, she looked up at Kang Fan again, looked helpless, and asked pitifully: "Then Kang Fan, you can't run away, right? Then you have to take care of me, right?"
