Chapter 1 Strange Land

Zhu Yongxing woke up from his coma and nightmare and found himself lying on a stone on the bank of a river, with half of his body soaked in the water. He had a severe headache and his stomach was full, but he still remembered holding the hand with Li Changqi.

Huo Qiang went hunting. While wading into a rapid in the mountains, he lost his footing and was knocked down. He drifted straight into a deep pool along with the rapid stream. Then he was pulled straight to the bottom of the deep pool by a strong suction force, and fell into a dark river.

It seemed like I was struggling in an endless tunnel, and then I knew nothing.

Shaking his head vigorously, Zhu Yongxing temporarily got rid of what seemed like memories and nightmares in his mind. Then he stood up slowly, staggered ashore, and lay on the soft river beach, breathing heavily.

After a long time, Zhu Yongxing regained some strength, sat up, and looked around. This place seemed like a small valley in the mountains, with an unknown river flowing slowly.

"Old Li, Old Li." Facing a completely unfamiliar environment, Zhu Yongxing felt confused and helpless. He opened his mouth and shouted twice, only to find that his voice was hoarse. Except for the sound of water, there was silence all around.

, the silence was so heart-stopping that it gave people an ominous feeling. This made Zhu Yongxing very nervous. He was so nervous that he quickly took off the musket still on his back and held it firmly in his hand. Even though the gunpowder in the musket was wet.

After being exposed, he couldn't fire immediately, but it gave Zhu Yongxing some support and comfort.

……………

The light red clouds give people a cozy and warm feeling. The green grass along the way is dotted with small purple, yellow and red flowers. Their petals are spread out like trays, with bright yellow stamens in the middle. They are cheerfully accepting the sunshine and endless waves.

wonderful dream.

But as Zhu Yongxing walked along the river, he always felt that the silence was full of insidiousness, and everything around him seemed to be confronting him with cold solemnity. He was eager to meet someone as soon as possible, preferably

Li Changqi knew where this place was and took him away from this strange and dark forest.

Disappointment always accompanied Zhu Yongxing. He could only walk forward along the river, but did not dare to step into the dense jungle for the time being. Zhu Yongxing had heard what it was like to be in the jungle. There were leeches in the sewage puddles, and there were leeches on the leaves.

There are locusts, poisonous insects in the grass...

Hey, a corner of yellow cloth was exposed behind a big stone by the river in front. Zhu Yongxing was overjoyed and walked a few steps quickly, but then slowed down again. A man was lying face down in the shallow water behind the stone, looking at his clothes and hairstyle.

But it's not someone he's familiar with. Moreover, it looks like this person is dead. Huh? What kind of clothes are these? Why do they look so much like the costumes in the movie!

When he came to the front, Zhu Yongxing hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to turn the man over, felt the pulse on his neck, and then shook his head. The man was indeed dead. He then reached out and pushed away the long hair stuck to the face of the corpse.

The moment he saw this person's appearance, Zhu Yongxing had a strange feeling, as if he was seeing another self, or looking in the mirror.

Like, quite like, Zhu Yongxing touched his face subconsciously. After regaining his composure, Zhu Yongxing continued to look up and down. He couldn't figure out what was going on, and felt a little confused and weird. After a long time

, he stretched out his hand to pull the body up to the river beach, and untied a small package from the waist of the deceased. When he opened it, he found that the bag contained a square seal and several objects that looked like small gold ingots. Copper or gold?

Zhu Yongxing weighed it in his hand and looked at the inscription on the seal. He recognized it as "Prince Min's Crown Prince Seal".

Suddenly there were several roars of beasts in the distance. Zhu Yongxing looked up at the sky. Although there were too many doubts in his heart, he decided to leave. This guy, forget it, who told you to look like me?

, use your strength to let you rest in peace, so as not to be bitten by wild beasts! I will hold the things you have on you for now, and when you get out of here, I may be able to find your family to bury you!

Zhu Yongxing dragged the body into a pit, buried it hastily with soil and stones, and marked it. When burying the deceased who looked very similar to himself, he suddenly felt a confused feeling, as if his consciousness had drifted away from the body.

, was looking at his body from outside the body. This caused his thinking to fall into temporary confusion and chaos, so that he was lost for a long time. When he finally finished, Zhu Yongxing couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then looked at the sun again

direction, I mustered up my courage, turned around and walked slowly towards the jungle along a road that seemed to have been traveled by someone.

There are clusters of life hanging high above the head, and kudzu and thorn sticks are under the feet. Although there seems to be a road, the wild vines with hooks and thorns trip up Zhu Yongxing's legs from time to time. The jungle is so thick and dense that the bright sunlight cannot penetrate it.

The sky canopy is woven with lush branches and leaves, with only a few specks of light occasionally filtering through the mesh. A network of aerial roots hangs from each unknown large tree, swaying slightly, like a row of nooses. Looking into the distance,

Ahead seems to be a green and black tunnel leading to the bottomless abyss, and every step is a daunting adventure. Damn it, is this a damn tropical jungle?

Zhu Yongxing finally stopped his tired steps and shook his head in distress. Yes, it is a good word to cut through thorns and thorns, but the multifunctional field knife he carries with him is obviously not qualified for such a glorious and arduous task.

.I don’t know how far he has walked. I only know that he is panting now, his face is covered with sweat, his clothes are already soaked with sweat, his stomach has begun to growl, and his wet scrotum is itching unbearably.

At this time, a flowing rushing sound came faintly. Zhu Yongxing listened carefully and concluded that it was not the sound of wind blowing leaves. He couldn't help but speed up his steps with joy. The sound became clearer and clearer, and the power of hope that arose spontaneously was infinite.

Yes, he pulled out the branches and leaves that were blocking the road, shook off the stumbling vines, and moved forward with all his strength. About twenty minutes later, he came to a small stream. The green trees covered the small stream, and the tinkling sound of the small stream was like a tune.

The most beautiful and soul-stirring song.

This can be said to be paradise. Zhu Yongxing was inspired by this almost illusory scene. He quickly came to the stream and leaned down to drink the water. The spring water was so clear and cool. He took off his clothes again and happily stroked the sweat-soaked water.

The corroded body shivered with joy.

The stream in the dense forest allowed Zhu Yongxing to enjoy the quietness, fragrance and coolness, and the birds were chirping in the forest. This made him fully feel the comfort after anxiety and the relaxation after exhaustion. This is God's reward for the sufferers. And

, there is a small shed not far from the stream. Although it looks a bit decayed and dilapidated, it cannot have any more extravagance at this moment.
