This Zhou Xing didn’t learn much, but he could guess it by looking at his expression.
After all, the two of them couldn't understand each other. Uncle Zhou was a man of few words and was silent. After dinner, he had nothing to do when he saw Zhou Xing. He still had things to do at home, so he sat down for a while and then left. Gone. Not long after, two more villagers, one curious and the other enthusiastic, came over to check on Zhou Xing.
From then on, the young man took care of me at night, and during the day, the neighboring villagers came to look after me, either alone or in the company of two or three people. Among them, Zhou Ronger and Mrs. Cui were the ones who came the most. , is also Zhou Xing’s favorite among all the people he loves to see. Zhou Xing was originally a lively person. He was looked after by others. He was afraid of worrying others and was not willing to remain silent. As long as the villagers were around, he had to learn the local dialect. There were also a group of young children. Since they were brought by the adults at home, I like to watch Zhou Xing make gestures while learning to speak. He really regards Zhou Xing's place as a place to play. He often comes here and playfully asks Zhou Xing to talk. Although he makes a lot of jokes, his dialect is improving rapidly. , Mrs. Cui praised Zhou Xing for being smart.
Gradually, Zhou Xing also learned about his landlord’s situation. The young man’s surname was also Zhou Mingbao, but he was not from the same clan as Uncle Zhou. He was brought here by his father eight years ago, and his ancestral craftsmanship , and knows how to pick medicinal herbs, and is also well respected by the villagers. After his father left the year before last, the young man lived alone and had no family to support, so he hunted wild animals, exchanged them for wine, or called several young men of about the same age to come over and have a delicious meal. He is a warm-hearted person and often gives away extra wild animals to the villagers for free. He has good archery skills inherited from his family, and his skills are unparalleled by anyone in the same village, so everyone in the village dislikes him. He is obviously the leader among the young men.
The people who drank together that day were also close friends of Zhou Bao. One was Zhou Can, Zhou Ronger’s cousin, who was the smartest and most intelligent person. The other was Wang Tong, 21 years old, also from a household background. , although his skills are not as good as Zhou Bao's, they are still outstanding. The other two are twin brothers named Zhou Dahu and Tuesday Hu. Although their martial arts are not high, they are thick and strong. In terms of strength alone, there is really no rival in the village. .
A few days later, Zhou Xing asked Zhou Bao to chop down two small trees with branches, compare the heights, and make a simple crutch. From then on, there was no need to lie in the house, using crutches, and you could still look around. The children were even more curious when they saw Zhou Yuzhu's strange appearance. They often followed the group behind them, and sometimes even led Zhou Xing to his own place. When Zhou Xing went to play at home, he saw the beautiful scenery and simple people here. The adults and children treated him sincerely, and he gradually felt at ease. Even when he thought of the family, he just sighed.
In the past month, Zhou Xing’s injury has improved greatly. Although he still has to use crutches, it is not a serious problem. He has become familiar with the people in the village. At noon, eating hundreds of meals is simply a matter of course. Got used to it. I can speak more and more dialects, and although long speeches are not enough, simple communication is no longer a problem. Zhou Xing is grateful to Zhou Bao and others, and also likes their simplicity and generosity. Zhou Xing also drinks a lot, is free and easy, and is a salesman.His ability to observe people's emotions during conversations is extraordinary, and he talks interestingly. Over time, they have become staunch brothers, and no one mentioned Zhou Xing's life experience.
Zhou Ronger was also familiar with Zhou Xing. Every time she mentioned how Zhou Xing burst into tears, she burst into laughter. Zhou Xing was in front of his brothers and had nothing to do with Zhou Ronger, so he had to let them go. joke.
On this day, the brothers were chatting in the courtyard. Zhou Ronger and Mrs. Cui walked in. In Mrs. Cui's hand, there was a small square package. Everyone gave Mrs. Cui a courtesy and asked her to sit in her room. Mrs. Cui looked at Zhou Xing and said, "I asked the young master about his origin that day, but he couldn't remember it. I wonder if it's more than a month now, what can the young master remember?"
Zhou Xing quickly bowed and said: " Madam, you are too polite. Zhou Bao, Zhou Can and others have saved my life, and you and the fellow villagers are so caring. I really don’t dare to be called madam and son. Madam wants to look up to me, just like she does to them. , Just call me by my name. As for my life experience, although my leg injury is almost healed, I can't remember anything except my name." Zhou Xing thought as he said it, really wishing he could know it. What do you want to order? It's best to know the origin of this physical body so that you can have a plan for the future.
Seeing that Zhou Xing was very sincere and not polite, Mrs. Cui said: "That's fine, I'm not polite, just treat you like them." Then, she pointed at the package placed on the bed. , "Open it and take a look."
Zhou Xing stepped forward and opened the package. There were some folded clothes inside, and the materials were very gorgeous. Zhou Xing didn't know why and looked up at Mrs. Cui. When Zhou Can saw it, he said loudly: "Look at what others are doing. This is what we wore on you when we rescued you."
Others looked at Zhou Xing in disbelief and nodded. Zhou Xingyu felt strange. He took out the robe and shook it out. When he looked at it, he found that it did not match his height. Although the robe was damaged a lot, it had been washed clean. Thin threads and dense stitches, the repair is done well. This was the case when Zhou Xing took out other clothes.
When Zhou Xing saw these things, he thought about his beautiful hands and tender skin, and knew that before he came here, he should be from a wealthy family, not an ordinary person. I just don’t know the origin.
These clothes have no writing on them. They only know that they are items of wealth, but they have no identifying value.
Mrs. Cui looked at Zhou Xing with a dazed and shocked look. She could see that she had indeed forgotten everything before. She couldn't help but sigh and said: "Zhou Xing, I'm not actually being polite. , I have always called you Young Master. I grew up in Chang'an and have seen a lot of things. When they rescued you, you saw that your clothes were dirty. Even when I gave them to you for safekeeping, I knew it. You must be a person of origin, so I always call you Young Master. Besides, there is a big seal in this small bag. Although I am illiterate, I heard people talk about the rules of seals when I was in Chang'an. The button is the regulation for the title of king. This seal is carried with you, and it is most likely the identity of the prince of the clan."
After Zhou Xing heard this, he had alreadyAre you stunned, Your Majesty? It's actually the prince? Although these villagers only know how to avoid the war and do not know who is the emperor currently, but if he is really a prince, no matter what, he will be a high-ranking official, generous salary, and enjoy eternal blessings. This is really pie in the sky. It seems that Meng Ersheng is right when he says that if heaven wants to bring great blessings to people, it must first give them hardships to prevent them from not knowing how to enjoy the blessings. Oops, if this is the case, a beautiful woman and money will not travel through time in vain.
Zhou Xing was thinking happily. Zhou Ronger had already opened the small package and handed over the seal. Zhou Xing carefully looked at the seal, which was three inches square and had two dragons as buttons. When he turned it over, he saw that it had six characters. Li Shuyang, carefully identify it, it is "the treasure of the Prince of Siji"
The treasure of the Prince of Siji, am I the treasure of the Prince of Siji? So what should my name be? Is it also Zhou Xing? What is Prince Siji doing here? He doesn't have any royal guards, beautiful bodyguards or anything like that?
Zhou Xing was just thinking about it, but Zhou Can poked him with his hand and said, "Zhou Xing, stop thinking about it, tell us what is written on it?"
Zhou Xing gestured with his right hand. After writing the words, he said, "The treasure of Prince Si Ji is the seal of Prince Si Ji."
Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "Since Zhou Xing recognized the characters, he must have understood them, right?"
Zhou Xing put down the seal. Although he felt that it would be quite beautiful if he were a prince, he smiled bitterly and said: "Although I recognize this word and know that it is a seal of heir, I really don't know. I I don’t know anything about whether he is really this prince. I don’t even know whether this prince is called Zhou Xing.” Mrs. Cui nodded and said, “This is difficult to do. Well, this is a remote place in the mountains, and there is no way to inquire. However, when I came to Xingyuan from Chang'an, I heard that there was a younger brother who fled with the emperor, and he was named Prince Jijun. This seal Master, he should be the second generation Prince Jijun."
Zhou Xing originally knew a little about the history of the Tang Dynasty, but he also heard from Mrs. Cui that the emperor was fleeing. Thinking about it carefully, this Mrs. Cui was fleeing. , it was more than 20 years ago, and it was the ridiculous emperor who was later called Xizong. In terms of time, it is not the last few years of Tang Zhaozong's reign. In these years, the emperor and the clan are like hostages. This La Come on, the one who took it away can't do anything. Not to mention the fine clothes and fine food, sometimes you are hungry, especially in the end, Zhu Quanzhong, that bastard, has killed many high-ranking officials and clans since he took control of the court. In the end, when he became emperor, he seemed to have driven all the Zhou and Tang clans into the Yellow River. Even if we are really a prince, the final outcome will definitely not be good. After finally escaping, I can't jump into the fire pit again. Life is important. If you lose your life, you will have nothing. The gold and silver treasures are gone, the beauties and carriages are gone. Don’t those false names of glory and wealth have to be alive to be useful? Moreover, this place is remote and hard to find, has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is self-sufficient. In these troubled times, it is a rare place to settle down.
Zhou Xing made up his mind, put all the stamped clothes into the package, and said to Mrs. Cui: "Madam, I really don't know.Am I a prince? Even if I am a prince, I am afraid that the prince will not have a good life in these troubled times. Our place has beautiful scenery and is not located in the bustling officialdom. It is really a paradise where we can live and settle down. Madam, please take care of these things for me. We will talk about it later. I Zhou Xing is now much healed from his injuries. He has hands and feet, but he can support himself and will not be a drag on anyone else. Zhou Xing just wants to live a stable life here. I hope my wife and brothers will take me in. "Clenched her fists and bowed to salute Mrs. Cui.
Mrs. Cui quickly stood up, supported her with her hands, and said: "I am here to show you these things. I just want to help you think about your own life experience. , so as not to miss you, but I have no intention of driving you away. I know that your collection here remains unchanged, so I will take it back. Whenever you want to use it, just come to my house and get it. I know you guys are very sympathetic to each other, so I can’t say it’s a drag. If you have food, everyone can eat it, and if you have the strength, everyone can contribute. From now on, don’t be so polite. I’m so generous, just call me Aunt Zhou. Okay"
Everyone said yes, and Zhou Xing thanked them one by one. After a while, everyone dispersed, and Zhou Xing and Zhou Bao had a rest respectively. Zhou Bao had nothing on his mind and had another tiring day. , just when he lay down, he started snoring. However, Zhou Xing tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and thought to himself: "Since I am the one who wore these clothes, it seems that my status as Prince Siji is good. Although the Sijun Wang is a little lower than the Jun Wang, he is still a king. Alas, it's a pity that the time is not right. It will take decades to achieve this status, and you can still control the wind and rain, and be rich and prosperous. Now, those military generals in the vassal towns are all dominating one side, that is, the princes and princes. They will be beheaded if they say they will be cut off, let alone a county king who does not know whether it is true or false. "
I then thought again: "I have traveled through time, is it possible that I can live my whole life in this mountain in vain? If this were the case, wouldn't it be very expensive for someone who left behind his wife and daughter to stay here? But if you don't just stay here and just rely on yourself, you can't do anything, go out and fight in the world, fight for it, and have been in chaos for 50 years, aren't you just looking for death? Isn't that seeking death? "
"Even if I stay here, I still have to do something. Seeing that my injury is almost healed, although the mountain people are simple, they can't raise an old man in vain. Is it difficult for me to do the same? Can you open up wasteland and farm your own land, and then take a wife to live in it for the rest of your life? These great masters are really not that good. How come when others travel through time, they either have unparalleled martial arts skills or are extremely smart? Why am I so stingy? You really bully honest people! ”
For a while, I tossed and turned, sometimes eager to try, sometimes resentful, sometimes wanting to be content with the situation, sometimes unwilling. I tossed until almost dawn, and then fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, it was already bright. When I looked at Zhou Bao, he had long disappeared. I thought Zhou Bao saw that he was sleeping soundly and left alone. Zhou Xing got up, washed up, and helped himself to food, still on crutches. , strolled outside. This week, Zhou Bao's yard was outside the village, and the terrain was a few feet higher than the village. There was a slight mist at this time, and the village was hazy and shrouded in fog, with green mountains in the distance to the left and right. in the fog, hiddenIt can be seen that the occasional barking of dogs adds to the tranquility.
Zhou Xing still hesitated in his heart. Although he knew that there were dangers outside the mountain and living in seclusion was the only way to survive, but what would be the end of staying here for a long time. After thinking for a long time, but with no results, I couldn't help but sigh, and walked towards the village with crutches.
It was the slack time for farming. Except for some young men who went up to the mountains to fight, most of the others were at home. Only a few children were playing in the street. When they saw Zhou Xing, they all greeted him with a smile. Zhou Xing walked leisurely through the villa and came to the river.
The small river in this valley is not wide, only about one foot. The water is clear and flows along the terrain. The river is winding and winding, which was originally formed by natural erosion. On both sides of the river, there are worlds created by the villagers, ranging in size from big to small. Zhou Xing walked along the river, stopping and walking, constantly mumbling to himself.
This has been the case for several days and weeks. No one cares about him. On this day, Zhou Xing ignored it and walked upstream along the river. After only three miles, the mountain gradually became steeper and he reached a place where a small stream converged with the river. The two source streams of this river flowed from the southeast and northeast respectively. After coming, it merged into a river, and the momentum doubled.
