Go to ancient times and engage in construction

Chu Zhaohui was not interested in chasing down the two ancients who were running like rabbits. When he rushed to the place where he screamed "Help" with a steel rod, the two men in khaki clothes didn't wait for Chu Zhaohui to make a move. , he left the mule cart and ran away.Chu Zhaohui was not surprised that the two men fled without making a move, because the two aboriginal men were too short, around 160 centimeters by visual inspection, and their bodies were thin. Steel Rod, a strong transhuman who was [-] centimeters taller than them, would be a fool if he didn't run away. Judging from the reactions of these two guys, they were still very clever.

"This strong man, thank you for saving my family." The brown-clothed man beside the mule cart got up from the ground, not caring about the dust on his body, and bowed to Chu Chaohui to thank him respectfully.

The accent of the man in brown is very similar to the local dialect of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the 21st century. Chu Chaohui’s father was originally from Zhejiang. Chu Zhaohui was used to the dialect of that place when he was a child. Although the accent is different from the dialect of the 21st century, compared with the current behavior of the man in brown, Chu Zhaohui can still understand the general meaning.

"It's a little effort, don't pay too much attention to it." Chu Chaohui was polite, since he was talking to an ancient man, he had to speak an old saying, and besides, he didn't help much, so he scared the two of them away with a stick.

The man in brown was in his early forties, and he was not tall either. The top of his head only reached Chu Chaohui's shoulders, and he was about the same size as the two escaped men.He didn't seem to understand what Chu Zhaohui meant, he blinked and looked up at the savior with a bit of doubt on his face.

"What's going on?" Zheng Yuming followed up from behind. He looked at the direction where the two men fled, but there was no one there.

"Two heroes! Thank you for your help. My family is very grateful." Seeing Zheng Yuming, the man in brown expressed his gratitude more respectfully.When he first saw Chu Chaohui rushing from the corner of the path, he was startled. He was such a tall and mighty man. He had never seen such a tall man before. When Zheng Yuming also ran over, the man in brown was even more surprised. Because although Zheng Yuming is five centimeters shorter than Chu Chaohui, Zheng Yuming's complexion is fair and tender, and his facial features are handsome. He has never seen such a good-looking appearance in more than ten years. Although the clothes on these two people are weird, they are clean , The material of the clothes can't be seen to be good or bad, but the color of the clothes is uniform and bright, which is not something that ordinary people can have. The man in brown analyzed that these two must be the children of a big family.Because of the analysis of the benefactor's identity in his heart, even if Chu Chaohui and Zheng Yuming did not help each other, the man in brown would not dare to treat them disrespectfully.

"When the road is uneven, we should draw our swords to help." Zheng Yuming also responded with a polite sentence.

The first communication between the time-traveler and the ancients of this time and space in the 21st century was not smooth. The time-traveler could understand the dialect of the ancients, but the ancients did not understand the meaning of the words of the two time-travelers.

Zheng Yuming couldn't help but patted his forehead when he saw the bewildered expression of the man in brown clothes. He and Chu Chaohui both spoke Mandarin, an ancient northern dialect, and where they are now, from the plants and plants they have seen these days From the point of view of animals, this place is by no means in the area of ​​the capital, it looks like the southern area.In ancient times, the transportation was not developed and the population was not very mobile. How could the ancients living in the south understand the northern dialect?No wonder the man in brown was at a loss as to what he said to them.

Zheng Yuming's hometown is in the land of Wuyue. He grew up in the countryside and spoke a dialect, unlike Chu Chaohui who could only listen but not speak. When he realized that the problem was serious, Zheng Yuming immediately communicated with the man in brown in his hometown's dialect. There is a big difference between the dialects of time and space, but if you speak it a few times, and even make gestures and guesses, you can still understand the meaning of the other party.

The man in brown is a merchant. He just sold a load of goods in Dacheng and returned home. Yesterday he had no time to get home before dark, so he stayed in a small village called Houpo for one night. He drove early today. He drove home with the mule cart, not wanting to meet bandits here. The bandits were going to snatch the mule cart, but the mule stumbled in fright and the cart rolled over on the side of the road. When Chu Chaohui came, the two bandits were beating him up. He fell to the ground, trying to straighten the mule cart and drive away.

"My family can't thank you, this is from Dacheng, the ungrateful person accepts it with a smile!" The man in brown held two bolts of cloth bought from Dacheng to Chu Chaohui.

The brown-clothed man claimed to be Oujia, and the two time-travelers thought the middle-aged ancient man was named Oujia. After talking with the brown-clothed man, they realized that "Oujia" is what the locals call themselves, and "in the next" , "My humble person" is also a humble self-proclaimed.The brown-clothed man's surname is Wu, and his first name is Yu, who ranks the largest in the family, and the villagers are used to addressing them according to their rank, so Wu Da has become a common name for the brown-clothed people, and Wu Yu's correct name is only used when making formal acquaintances with people.

Chu Chaohui and Zheng Yuming didn't understand the situation in this world, and were thinking about how to deal with the ancients. Now that they accidentally rescued Wu Da, they wanted to win Wu Da's favor, let Wu Da be their different time and space Baidu, and thank Wu Da The coarse cloth, how could the two see it in their eyes, and immediately resolutely declined, determined to be the chivalrous man who did not expect anything in return.

Under the resolute refusal of Chu Chaohui and Zheng Yuming, Wu Da had no choice but to withdraw his reward. At that time, Chu Chaohui and Zheng Yuming didn't know that cloth in this world was equivalent to currency, and one piece of cloth was equivalent to two For many months of living expenses, Wu Da gave away two horses, which was equivalent to giving him the profit he made from the business trip to Dacheng this time. This kind of reward is not insignificant. Wu Da believes that compared to being robbed of the mule cart, sending two cloths is worth it Yes, because at least ten bolts of cloth can be exchanged for a mule cart.

Zheng Yuming’s self-introduction to Wu Da was fabricated by him and Chu Chaohui along the way, claiming that the two were from overseas isolated islands, and they were caught in a storm on a boat with their clansmen, and all their clansmen were killed in the storm, and only the two of them drifted with the wrecked boat After arriving here, I have now built a residence at the foot of the river and mountain for a temporary stay. This time I climbed over the mountains and wanted to find a place to buy some things.

After Wu Da heard about the misfortune of the two, he didn't have any doubts at all, because the long river on the west side of the mountains eventually leads to the sea, and it is not impossible to drift from the sea along the river mouth to here.Wu Da sympathized with their plight, and immediately invited the two benefactors to go back to the village with him. The village where his family lived was located at the riverside pier, a confluence of rivers and rivers. There were many boats moored there, and a village gradually formed. Wu The great ancestors were nobles who were exiled to the south due to crimes, and took root in the place of Futou. Because they were convicted and exiled, they were deprived of their ancestral surname. Wu has become a surname, and in Wu Da's generation, there are more than a dozen Wu families with the same surname and family in Butou.This village port can be exchanged for common daily necessities.

The stumbled mule had already stood up on its own, and the overturned wooden cart was righted by three people. The wooden cart compartment was made of bamboo pieces, and most of the wooden cart wheels were made of wood, only a small part of which was made of iron, such as the axle.

The mules that pull the cart are horse mules, the offspring of mating a female horse with a jackass.With heterosis, it is about the size of a horse, with a larger body, smaller ears, and fluffy tail hair.This kind of mule has a longer lifespan than a horse or a donkey, and is also stronger. There are three people on the mule cart, and the horse mule can still walk easily.

Mu Mu was sleeping in the backpack, but was awakened by Zheng Yuming's sprint. When Zheng Yuming ran in front of Wu Da, its small head was sticking out from the mouth of the backpack and looking out.Wu Da didn't expect that there would be a small animal in the backpack, so when Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui got into the mule cart and carried the probing wood from the backpack to their thighs, Wu Da's mouth became O.

"Zheng Zhuangshi, why did you hug the wolf cub?"

"Ah? Wolf cub?" Zheng Yuming looked at Mu Mu. This is not a wolf cub, but a wolf dog cub, an impure German shepherd.

"The female wolf will follow the smell, so it's better to throw it away as soon as possible." Wu Da enthusiastically suggested that he felt that the two overseas people were too brave to go to the wolf's den to collect cubs, and they were not afraid of the female wolf's revenge.

"This little wolf cub is very pitiful. The mother wolf was killed by a tiger. If we don't retrieve this wolf cub, this wolf cub will die." Chu Chaohui explained to Wu Da ahead of Zheng Yuming, and they told Wu Da about their life experiences. At that time, it meant that he had been wandering at sea for three months, and the wood was only two months old on the outside. It was impossible for them to bring it from overseas. He was afraid that Zheng Yuming would not be able to react, and said that the wood was not a wolf cub, but from home. The wolfhound brought in, so that there will be exposed places, which will arouse suspicion, so he quickly helped Mu Mu arrange his family background.

"Oh, it turns out that the female wolf is already dead." Wu Da breathed a sigh of relief. Someone in his village once took the wolf cub back, but the female wolf followed him. Not only did the wolf cub run away, but the family's three-year-old The baby boy was killed. From then on, no one in Wuda village dared to take the wolf cub home casually.

Mu Mu didn't know that the three humans in front of him were talking about it. Today, he was very excited to be taken out by his master, and now he was liberated from the backpack by his master, and he was even more happy, lying on Zheng Yuming's lap and rolling.

Wood didn't eat any food in the morning, because at that time, he didn't expect to be taken by the owner at all, and he just stared at the owner who packed the luggage sullenly, and had no appetite for the carefully prepared food for him.After being happy now, I feel my belly is flat, and I immediately whine to Zheng Yuming to be fed.

Zheng Yuming had already figured out the meaning of Mu Mu's various calls, and understood that the little guy was hungry and asked him for food, so he took out a pheasant leg from his backpack to feed Mu Mu. The pheasant was cooked in a pressure cooker, and the thigh meat was very Rotten, suitable for a small puppy like wood to swallow and digest.Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui were sitting in a wooden cart, while Wu Da was sitting at the door of the wooden cart shaft driving a mule. He smelled the aroma and saw that Zheng Yuming was actually feeding minced meat to wolf cubs. On the one hand, he felt that this overseas benefactor was too wasteful, and on the other hand, he decided that this The two are benevolent and kind-hearted. No wonder these two strong men would step forward to rescue him without hesitation when they heard him call for help. Such benevolent and chivalrous men should have a heart-to-heart friendship.

Chu Chaohui and Zheng Yuming didn't know that Wu Da had such a high opinion of them. Just now they heard that they ran over for help, but they relied on the hot weapons in their hands, and they were not afraid of their lives. Hot weapons against the ancients are like steel knives against wooden knives. Not in a class.

At that time, the wheels of the carriages were all made of wood and had no anti-seismic function. In addition, the roads were all dirt roads with potholes. It was better for two people to sit in a mule cart than to walk comfortably, but it seemed that the mule cart ran faster than they walked. The two endured it, and chatted with Wu Da along the way while checking the surroundings.

The mule cart ran for 10 minutes, and the two saw signs of cultivation on both sides of the dirt road. Most of the cultivated land was some sparse wheat seedlings. After walking for more than ten minutes, scattered houses began to appear, all of which were dirt. The walls were covered with thatch, and along the way I met some pedestrians, all of whom were not tall, thin and weak, with disheveled faces, and their clothes were not as bright as Wu Da's, and several of them still had patches on their clothes.These people all knew Wu Da, and would greet Wu Da when they saw him. Chu Chaohui and Zheng Yuming were sitting in the car, blocked by the shed. It was the passers-by led by Wu Dashun to go to Nanbu to take a boat, because the pier is the berthing place for Hejiang boats, and the people around have to go to the pier to wait for the boat if they want to go to other places by boat.

The village where Wu Da lives is called Nanbu, which means the port in the south. In the imagination of Chu Chaohui and Zheng Yuming, Nanbu can be regarded as a waterway transportation hub. This place should be relatively prosperous. Wait for the mule cart to drive into the village , the two travelers finally saw the true face of the ancient village.
