Chapter 2
Cars and horses are sparkling! A caravan moves forward slowly on the ancient trade road.
"The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind and you can see the cattle and sheep." A tall and mighty middle-aged man rode a tall horse and walked at the front of the caravan, his rough voice floating on the grassland.
"Brother Zhou, how come you know how to sing this song?" Geng Xiaofan frowned as he listened to the singing.
"Brother Xiaofan, is there anything strange about this? People on the grassland can sing it. I have been walking this road for many years, and I have learned it along the way." The middle-aged man looked back at Geng Xiaofan who was sitting on the carriage.
This young man I "picked up" while crossing the Weihe River was really strange! Not to mention his "unkempt appearance", just the way he was dressed was too strange.
The material of the upper body clothes I have never seen before, it looks like silk, but it is smoother than silk, and the style is unique. It is not a cardigan, but seems to be worn directly over the head.
The lower body is even weirder. It could be said to be Gebu, but it doesn't look like it. Although it looks "old", it is unusually strong.
And the shoes on his feet fit so well. Although they are made of cloth, you can't tell how they are "woven".
The soles are even more unique, like wood, but soft and elastic. It is said to be cowhide, but it is much thicker than cowhide! The soles are also covered with patterns, which must be very non-slip.
Moreover, the straps used to tie the shoes are so unique. I really don’t know why he “woven” the shoelaces so tightly. It’s so troublesome! However, this binding method must be very strong and the shoes must be very comfortable to wear!
At that time, he was lying upright on the beach by the Wei River.
At first I thought it was just a starving body in the wild, but after a closer look, it was still breathing. Zhou Dada showed his kindness and "rescued" him.
I don’t know what happened to this young man. He jolted on the carriage for two days before he woke up leisurely.
"Young man, you are finally awake!" When they were stationed at night, Zhou's wife discovered that this "half-dead" young man opened his eyes.
"What kind of place is this?" Geng Xiaofan felt a splitting headache.
"This is Hedong County, we should be arriving at Linfen soon! Young man, what is your name and where do you live?" Zhou's wife gently helped him up.
"My, my name is Geng Xiaofan. You, you are..." Geng Xiaofan's eyes widened. Although the sister-in-law in front of him had a kind face, her clothes were too weird. Although she could not be considered "ragged", her clothes
The fabric is too rough!
No, what happened to me? Why did you get to Linfen?
Linfen! Shanxi? What the hell is Hedong County!
Geng Xiaofan began to recall hard, but his mind went blank.
"Sister-in-law, where are you from?" Geng Xiaofan began to observe the surrounding environment.
This should be an open space by the river, with four or five tents arranged in a circle, and not far away is a bonfire.
There were about a dozen people milling about around the bonfire. They were dressed somewhat similarly to Mrs. Zhou. They seemed to be busy with something, probably cooking. Geng Xiaofan could smell the aroma of gruel and the smell of barbecue!
"Hiss~", Geng Xiaofan heard the sound of horses honking, and followed the sound and saw a dozen horses or mules, who were not sure whether they were horses or mules, tied in the woods not far away.
"Young man, my surname is Zhou. I am a businessman from Ba County. I walk on this business road all year round. Just wait a minute." Sister-in-law Zhou said, got up and went to the bonfire, and soon brought a bowl of gruel over.
"Young man, you have been in coma for several days. Drink some porridge first."
Geng Xiaofan lowered his head and looked at it. It was a black clay bowl, with light yellow gruel inside, mixed with chopped green vegetables. Although he didn't know what kind of porridge it was, it had a strong fragrance.
Smelling the aroma of the porridge, Geng Xiaofan felt really hungry, so he took it carefully and took a sip.
"Ahem", the porridge smells refreshing, but it tastes bitter in the mouth. I don't know if it's the taste of green vegetables or something else.
"Sister-in-law Zhou, what kind of porridge is this?" Geng Xiaofan couldn't help but be curious.
"Corn porridge! Have you never eaten it?" Sister-in-law Zhou suddenly became curious.
Geng Xiaofan didn't know how to answer, what on earth is going on!
"Young man, where are you from? How come you fainted alone on the bank of the Wei River?" Sister-in-law Zhou saw him slowly finishing the porridge and started chatting with her.
"I..." Geng Xiaofan's mind was spinning rapidly, Wei River! How could he be by the Wei River!
Also, where is this? Who are these people?
"Hey! Poor child, it seems that your illness is not cured yet. I will go to Linfen City tomorrow and find a doctor to take a look at you." Sister-in-law Zhou did not continue to ask questions, picked up the porridge bowl and went to serve the porridge again.
Bajun, Hedongjun, Shangdao, Weihe River!
After eating a small bowl of gruel, Geng Xiaofan felt better and began to recall hard again.
Finally, I had some pictures in my mind.
Weiyang Palace ruins, sister Jingyan, BMW car, rain...
But what happened next? Geng Xiaofan still couldn’t remember it at all.
Look around, there are woods and rivers, but there is no light at all.
The bright moon is in the sky, and the stars are dotted. I haven't seen this starry sky for a long time. Even in rural areas of the United States, there is no such "clean" starry sky.
Geng Xiaofan struggled to get up. He had to figure out his situation quickly.
The grove was not big, and there seemed to be a trail next to it. Geng Xiaofan walked slowly across it.
"Hey! Boy, it's late, don't walk around." A strong voice came from behind.
"Oh, I just want to take a look." Geng Xiaofan stopped.
Turning around, he saw a burly middle-aged man slowly walking over, carrying a long knife.
"You've been in coma for a few days and are weak. It's not safe in the woods at night. Stop running around and have something to eat first." The middle-aged man stared at him curiously.
"Yeah!" Geng Xiaofan didn't know what the other person meant, so he had no choice but to follow the man to the bonfire.
"You have just recovered from a serious illness, so you should eat less greasy food and eat a fish." The middle-aged man took a grilled fish skewered with branches from the barbecue grill next to the campfire and handed it to him.
"Thank you!" Geng Xiaofan took it politely. Not to mention, I was really hungry.
The fish was not big, grilled to a crispy brown, and the color was quite attractive. Geng Xiaofan took a bite, but frowned. Why was there no seasoning? There was no salt either!
"Brother, don't you put cumin and chili in the grilled fish? You also forgot to add salt."
"Cumin, chili pepper?" The middle-aged man also frowned and looked at him strangely.
Geng Xiaofan seemed to understand something from his expression. Could it be that he had traveled through time?
Time travel! Is it time travel? I’m afraid it is!
Geng Xiaofan wants to vomit blood!
You must first figure out which dynasty you are wearing!
Chili pepper! Chili pepper was introduced to China only in the Ming Dynasty.
Cumin! Cumin is from the Tang Dynasty! It seems that this is not the Tang Dynasty yet, it is earlier than the Tang Dynasty!
Han! Could it be that I traveled back to the Han Dynasty?
Geng Xiaofan started to observe the clothes of these people again, but he really couldn't tell.
arms!
Geng Xiaofan glanced at the middle-aged man's long knife.
The knife was very rough and its style could not be discerned.
Chapter completed!
