Yanju Town is a small town located in the Tianxing Empire, with a population of only more than 3,000 people.
For the ordinary residents living in Fangjuan Town today, it is no different from the past. Every household leaves the warm bed early when the first yang rises, eats some breakfast randomly, and the strong laborers carry their working tools and invite everyone.
The women went to work in the fields in groups of three or three, and the women began to tinker with the kitchen utensils, cooking sweet and delicious dishes, waiting for the tired men to have a delicious meal when they come home.
The rising sun shines on the earth, driving away the cold and darkness, and the whole world becomes a sea of light.
"Fan'er, don't play too crazy, come back early for dinner, you know?" A pleasant voice came from a small house built of bluestone, and a smart little boy jumped out of the house. Little boy
The boy was only about five or six years old, with a handsome face and regular facial features.
"Mom, I got it, I'll be back later!" The little boy stuck out his tongue, his flexible eyes kept spinning, and he rushed out of the town without looking back, towards the woods outside the town.
"Now is the time when the mother bird goes out to look for food. While she is away, I will take out a few eggs and bring them back to add food to my father." The little boy's face was full of excitement and he accelerated his pace of running.
There is a mountain not far from the town, called "Leaping Horse Mountain". According to the oral accounts of our ancestors, there was once a great general who drove a divine horse and leaped over this "high" mountain like a cloud and mist, and just escaped the pursuers.
Although I don't know whether the story is true or not, the mountain was renamed "Prancing Horse Mountain" from then on. Over time, even the previous name was forgotten by everyone.
Prancing Horse Mountain is not high, only a few tens of meters long, and only a few hundred meters long. But this hill is the favorite of the children in the town. Otherwise, there are many forests in the mountains, and there are a lot of birds living in the forests.
What's more important is that there are no wild beasts living in such a small mountain. Most of them are harmless birds such as oriole.
However, in the dense forest more than ten miles south of Yuanma Mountain, there are countless beasts and birds, bears, tigers, eagles, leopards... everything. Fortunately, there is a mountain chasm more than a hundred feet wide in the middle.
The rushing torrent roared and rolled in the mountain chasm, with no end as far as the eye could see. It formed a natural barrier to isolate the beasts in the mountains. Only the roaring of tigers and the cries of apes could be heard vaguely.
Children are naughty and active by nature. In their spare time, they would call their playmates and make an appointment to come to the forest to break into bird's nests and dig out bird eggs. Often, whoever digs out more eggs will be admired by the other children and chatter around him.
Please teach me the secret of digging out bird eggs, which greatly satisfies the little vanity of children.
This is a paradise for children. They don’t have to worry about their lives and can play as much as they want. The adults in the town just let these kids do whatever they want. Seeing them so energetic, they seem to be dozens of years younger. This is not a problem.
Is it something that makes people happy?
It's just that Fan'er obviously got up too early today. When he rushed to the forest, there was no one in the huge forest, except for the "twitching" of the birds above his head, and it seemed quite quiet.
"It seems that those guys are still lying on the bed and sleeping in. When I take out all the eggs on the tree, you will cry without any tears." Fan'er rubbed his hands excitedly and spat on his palms, his hands kept moving.
Scratching around, I found a tree and was about to climb up.
"Boom!" A muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, startling the birds in the woods and scurrying around.
Fan'er looked up through the gaps in the leaves and stared at the sky in surprise, plucking his ears with both hands, "Huh? The weather is fine, even the sun is out. Why is there sudden thunder? Is it going to rain?"
No, I have to grab a few eggs and go back quickly, otherwise I won’t be able to go back when it starts raining.”
After Fan'er thought about it, he grabbed the tree he was looking for, brushed it a few times, and then climbed to the top of the tree. Through the leaves, the sky really became a little gloomy.
Fan'er clapped his hands and feet, slowly approached the bird's nest, grabbed the slightly warm eggs in the nest, and stuffed them into his pocket.
This series of movements was done in one go, like flowing water, without any sluggishness. It was obvious that he was an experienced egg-picker who had been trained for a long time and must have done this job frequently.
"Not bad, not bad, you have the same style as I did back then!" Suddenly there was thunderous applause in the forest, mixed with the appreciative laughter of a man.
Fan'er was stunned, the adults should be working in the fields at this time, why are there still people hanging out in the woods? On weekdays, adults only occasionally come to the woods to enjoy the shade at night, but I have never seen anyone staying here.
In the forest.
"Who are you?" Fan'er asked in a low voice.
"Can you see me when you come down?" the man replied.
The tree where Fan'er was standing had lush branches and leaves, and was three or four meters high. But Fan'er was at the top of the tree, and the underground scenery was blocked by the thick branches and leaves.
"Oh, I'll be down soon, just wait for me!" Fan'er responded, carefully positioned himself, and slowly slid down holding the trunk of the tree.
Before he even touched the ground, Fan'er was lifted away from the tree trunk by a pair of thick hands and gently placed on the ground.
Fan'er looked at the man in front of her with curiosity, and saw that his face was covered with dense beards that covered his entire chin, and his hair was messy, as if he hadn't washed it for several months. What was even more strange was that he... was not wearing any clothes.
He casually wrapped his body in animal skins, revealing his strong physique. The only thing that surprised people was his thick and black eyebrows, and his eyes, which were shining like stars at night.
"You...who are you?" Fan'er was a little scared, and her voice was trembling.
Is this still a human being? At least Fan'er has never seen such a slovenly person in his entire life, although his experience does seem a bit too shallow.
"Haha...are you scared? Don't be afraid, little one, I won't hurt you!" the man said with a kind smile.
"I've never seen you before. Where did you come from? Why aren't you wearing any clothes?" Fan'er shrank his head and asked uneasily. This man is so strange. He doesn't wear clothes and animal skins. Could it be that he
Didn’t you know that clothes are more comfortable than animal skins? The strangest thing is that his hair is messy and his face is full of beards.
This...isn't this the wild man in the mountains that my mother often told me about?
Fan'er suddenly remembered the savage stories his mother told him every night when she was putting him to sleep, and his little heart couldn't help but start jumping around, no matter how hard he suppressed it, he couldn't suppress it.
The man touched the animal skins on his body and said with a wry smile: "Well... I haven't had time to buy clothes, and I don't have any money, so I can only catch wild beasts in the mountains, skin them, and weave them randomly.
Just cover your body."
The man suddenly stared at Fan'er for a long time and said, "Why are you dressed so strangely? Are you filming a movie?"
Fan'er lowered his head and looked at his clothes, "Why is it weird? We all dress like this here. Movie? What is the movie?"
"You said... you all dress like this here? Do you all wear this style of clothes? Do you keep your hair so long and in a bun?" The man's expression became increasingly strange and he asked hurriedly.
Fan'er nodded and looked at the man a little differently. Why was this man so strange? He didn't even know the most basic common sense.
"How many years are you now?" The man lowered his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and asked, his expression unspeakably nervous.
"It's the year 1302 of Tianxing, the year 1302 when the Tianxing Empire was established." Fan'er replied with pride, "Don't you even know this? Where did you come from?"
The man was stunned and motionless for a moment. After a while, he started crying and laughing again, and finally even made a middle finger gesture to the void. "Old guy, you did a good job!"
Of course, Fan'er didn't understand the meaning of this gesture, but she felt that this man seemed too strange, so she subconsciously backed away slowly and distanced herself from the man.
This man is Liu Qiankun, who was just driven out of the realm of inaction by a mysterious man.
"Tianxing 1302, which fucking dynasty is this? Am I traveling through time or going to another dimension?" Liu Qiankun muttered with a sad face, "Old guy, you are so good at pulling me.
Why are you sent to this completely unfamiliar place?"
Liu Qiankun roared helplessly, "I want to go back!!"
Life in the 21st century is so comfortable and enjoyable, how could Liu Qiankun be willing to give it up? Sports cars, trains, airplanes, movie entertainment, computer walkmans, which are not high-tech inventions, and which are not comfortable life enjoyments? KTV, massage, foot washing,
KVC, McDonald's, Chinese food, Western pastries...the food, drink and fun, which one doesn't leave people with endless aftertaste?
With Liu Qiankun's lazy temper and greed for enjoyment, it's surprising that he would give up.
"I don't want to stay in this ghost world. I want to go back and enjoy my unfinished life. Let me go back quickly!" Liu Qiankun was filled with frustration and yelled into the void, hoping that the mysterious man could bring him back.
He was brought back to his original world.
In the beautiful 21st century and the high-end material life, how can you bear to abandon me?
It's just that the dream of returning to the 21st century has obviously become a luxury wish for Liu Qiankun. Except for the birds flying in the sky, Liu Qiankun never received any response, and the mysterious man who deserved to be killed by a thousand swords never appeared again.
Of course, there was a little guy in the woods who was already frightened. He was watching Liu Qiankun's one-man show in horror.
"You...you...are you okay?" Fan'er asked with trembling hands and feet. For any five or six-year-old child to suddenly encounter such a situation, it is already rare for him not to cry in fear, and how can he speak a complete sentence.
"Ah, it's okay. I'm fine. I'm sorry for scaring you." Only then did Liu Qiankun realize his gaffe. Seeing the little guy trembling with fear, he was holding on to himself. It was Liu Qiankun.
He was thick-skinned, but also a little embarrassed.
"Where is this place? Little guy, your tree climbing skills are pretty good. When I was your age, I wasn't at your level." Liu Qiankun walked forward with a pleasant look and touched Fan'er's head.
When Fan'er heard the compliment, he straightened his chest and said like a young adult: "That's right, go to town and ask, when it comes to picking out bird eggs, I have never lost to anyone.
"Oh..., the little guy turns out to be so awesome, then I have to ask you for advice." Liu Qiankun bent his legs and sat on the ground without any image, holding Fan'er on his lap,
Laughing loudly.
When it came to taking out the eggs, Fan'er's face was full of excitement, and even fear was instantly forgotten. She did not resist Liu Qiankun and allowed him to hold her and sit on his lap.
