After Chu Chao Hui came down from the high ground, Zheng Yuming grabbed the telescope in his hand and climbed up to look out, the lake was covered by the night, the telescope could not see anything. Disappointed Zheng Yuming back to the ground, Chu Chao Hui told him what he saw in the telescope.
Standing on the heights with binoculars to observe half an hour, Chu Zhaohui from the binoculars to look into the two wooden boats, these two wooden boats are not large in size, the style of the boat is only in the ancient paintings have seen in the day in 2013, unless the filming of movies in the day-to-day simply can not see that kind of antique boat, and the boat people dressed in odd, the binoculars do not see very clear, but can be sure that it is not a modern dress, but a little bit like the medieval period in Europe, like the peasant farmer With coarse linen draped dress.
Since the anomaly occurred, Zheng Yuming has always believed that he was transported to another part of the earth by some mysterious force. Time temperature consistency, the sun, moon and stars of the same, let Zheng Yuming thought he was still in the twenty-first century, so in the face of the anomaly, Zheng Yuming only want to walk to the people, the idea of returning to their own familiar living environment, and now the discovery of the Chu Chaohui, so that Zheng Yuming's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, if it is a time-traveling, which means that and their loved ones will never see the day.
Chu Chao Hui looked at Zheng Yuming's pale face and knew that he was struck by this possibility of crossing over, although Chu Chao Hui also did not want to cross over to a backward era, but the acceptance mentality was much stronger than Zheng Yuming. Chu Chao Hui's parents are dead, and he has no one to hold on to in that world, unlike Zheng Yuming, whose parents are alive and well.
The night is already dark, the dark primitive forest is not suitable for rushing, the two found a piece of dry terrain, picked up some dead branches and grass, lit a campfire, with a simple pot put some pure water, the rice balls and steamed buns warmed up as dinner.
"Maybe it's not necessarily true that I misjudged." Chu Chao Hui spoke out to comfort, Zheng Yuming ate very little and the whole person was very silent.
"You're talking about maybe." Zheng Yuming stroked the wood that was lying on his knee and snoring, this little puppy was too active during the day, and at night, after eating and drinking, he lay on his master and dreamed about the week.
"What happened to us is so bizarre, both of us are about ten years younger, oh yeah, Woody is also over ten years old, right?" Chu Chao Hui surveyed the little puppy on Zheng Yuming's lap.
"Yes, Woody is ten years old." Dogs live to be around fourteen years old, and as imposing as Woody was on the outside before crossing over, he was solidly an aging dog.
"I found a phenomenon, in addition to you and me, the wood and the goldfish in the living room fish tank undergoes alteration, the plants in the yard and outside the yard are still the same, no change at all, this phenomenon, does it mean that the mutation is only effective for people and animals?" Chu Chao Hui was smoking, Zheng Yuming villa's cigarettes were brought by him.
"Goldfish in the fish tank?" There were a dozen ornamental fish raised by Zheng Yuming in the living room fish tank, and after the mutation occurred, Zheng Yuming didn't pay attention to the fish tank.
"The fish in your fish tank is gone, we are still lucky that we and the wood survived!" Chu Chao Hui puffed his smoke and quieted his mind as he began to think about everything that had happened.
"Are you saying that we will cease to exist if we are not ten years older in age?" Zheng Yuming looked down at the wood and broke out into a sweat, if the wood had been a month or so younger, wouldn't the wood have already been reduced to nothing?
"Fortunately, you and I have both long been adults." After Chu Chao Hui found out the time period of time and space reversal, what he had in his heart was just thankful, if he and Zheng Yuming were only in their teens, and time reversed by ten years, and turned into children of a few years old, even if the villa depended on them, how long could the two of them survive? Outside the villa is a primeval forest, and the cries of animals coming from time to time from all directions are reminding them that the forest is densely populated with dangers.
"Is there anything else alive?" Chu Chao Hui was not the owner of the villa and did not understand the situation in the villa.
"No, there are no poultry raised in the villa." Zheng Yuming shook his head.
"It seems that the ones who survived were the two of us plus Wood." Chu Chaohui deduced.
Chu Chao Hui's inference was correct, the seven rats, two hibernating snakes, N thousand worm eggs and other animals whose lifespan was not ten years long in the land around the villa had all disappeared in the dimension jump teleportation. This dimension jump time teleportation effect had no effect on the plants.
"Today we'll take turns sleeping, we have to be on guard against the beasts in the forest." Zheng Yuming suggested, and the two were lucky enough to walk during the day without encountering any threatening animals, with only a smattering of small animals hanging around them.
"Then I'll sleep first, you're on duty for the first half of the night." Chu Chao Hui's cigarette had already reached the filter roll, after he threw his cigarette butt into the campfire, he nonchalantly got into his sleeping bag, this field sleeping bag was also the one that Zheng Yuming had kept on the off-road vehicle for his past trips.
Zheng Yuming leaned his back on the traveling bag with the stainless steel stick at his side, and in his heart, he was slightly grateful to Chu Chao Hui, who was breathing evenly in the sleeping bag.
People's biological clock, the second half of the night people will be sleepy, duty night than the first half of the night is difficult to get through, Chu Chaohui if it is intentionally arranged this way, it shows that the temporary alliance in front of him is still a good person.
Crossing phenomenon occurs, it is not too good to blame is due to the abduction of Chu Chao Hui, no Chu Chao Hui's abduction, Zheng Yuming may be late to the villa to avoid crossing the teleportation, may be so caught up in this disaster, but is the wood, is in any case will not be spared.
As for the effect of the crossing phenomenon on Chu Chao Hui, Zheng Yuming counter-argues that he is benefiting from it, firstly, Chu Chao Hui's gunshot wound on his leg is gone, and secondly, he is getting rid of his enemies to pursue him.
Only himself, crossing the teleportation to here, can no longer see both parents. Zheng Yuming the more he thinks about the bottom of his heart, his father's health is not good, I do not know that his parents learned of his son's disappearance, can not survive the pain of losing a son, the only consolation is that Zheng Yuming is not an only son, he has a sister married in the province of Lin, his parents will not become a loss of the old man.
Thinking about his family, Zheng Yuming hugged the wood and his eyes began to glow red at the campfire, but after hearing the sound of wild beasts coming from not far away, Zheng Yuming put away his sadness, grabbed the stainless steel stick beside him with one hand, and fought his way to alertness, and the most important thing in front of him was how to survive in this time and space.
Chu Chao Hui at one o'clock in the middle of the night from the sleeping bag out to replace Zheng Yuming, Zheng Yuming is still tucked into the wood into the sleeping bag to stay warm, less than three minutes to fall asleep, the day in the forest through the day, so that Zheng Yuming is too fatigued.
When Zheng Yuming woke up, the sky was already bright, the campfire was already weak, and Chu Chao Hui was not next to the campsite, Zheng Yuming bluffed and climbed up from his sleeping bag, and found that the traveling bag and the backpack containing food were all there, and only then did he let go of his heart, and Chu Chao Hui didn't leave him in the forest.
Just as Zheng Yuming searched for Chu Chao Hui with his eyes, Chu Chao Hui came from the river with strings of fresh fish in his hands, followed by the living wood at his feet.
"Old eating dim sum is tired, let's whole some grilled fish to improve the food." Chu Chao Hui hand fish has been cleaned, fish is a steel wire strung, Zheng Yuming can not figure out why Chu Chao Hui will bring a steel wire in the body, is not prepared to bake fish with?
The fish in the other time was delicious, even though the only seasoning the two men had brought with them was fine salt, and the grilled fish, rubbed only with salt, made the two men and the dog eat with gusto. With their stomachs full, the two climbed back up to the high ground to observe the boats on the lake.
Lake come and go boat is very sporadic, are the kind of very simple wooden boat, by sculling in the lake action. Daylight is sufficient, the clothing of the people on the boat was two people see clearly, after seeing the clothing of the people on the boat, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chao Hui basic sure crossing. That kind of clothing do not know which dynasty, but by no means all modern.
Since we can't find a way out, and this is a strange time and space, the only way to survive is to return to the villa, which is near a soccer field, so growing some food to feed two people and a dog is still doable.
Two people and a dog back on the road still did not encounter ferocious beasts, did not encounter does not mean that there is no forest, Chu Chaohui as if the forest is very familiar with, from the feces left by animals and traces of activity, Chu Chaohui judged that the carnivores in the forest that are dangerous to them are wolves, wild boars, clouded leopards, tigers.
With Chu Chao Hui judging more and more about the ferocious beasts, Zheng Yuming went back to the footsteps of the villa, the villa has a courtyard and stainless steel gates, stay there at least to ensure that they will not be under the belly of the beasts.
The time taken to return to the villa from the lake was one-fourth shorter than on the way over, and the sun had not yet set in the west when they arrived at the villa, while a few strings of beasts' footprints in the mud outside the villa's outer walls showed that the long-time inhabitants of the forest, had made a courteous visit, and that, as to friendliness or unfriendliness, the attitude of the permanent folk was evident from the round of ravaged nursery beds.
The next two days, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui inventory of the villa supplies, inventory results are gratifying, Zheng Yuming's mother stuffed into the SUV that point in the supplies is only a fraction of the villa east of the five workers in the room is the big head.
The five workers room, one and a half is the workers canteen, three is the warehouse, half is the workers rest place, the room has two iron beds, dedicated to the workers at noon rest nap. The area of each worker's room has two dozen square meters, are red brick flat masonry, the outer wall of white cement coating, the roof is covered with green tiles.
The cafeteria has more than four hundred pounds of rice, more than sixty pounds of flour, and more than a thousand pounds of paddy. The reason why it is more than a thousand pounds of paddy, not more than a thousand pounds of rice, because Zheng Yuming's old cousin's wife is helping her cousin to save money, from the hands of the farmers to buy paddy their own to the countryside processing plant processing, cheaper than to the market to buy rice directly. Look at this more than a thousand pounds of rice, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chao Hui rejoice, Professor Yuan only in 1975 to develop successful hybrid rice planting technology, China because of this, solved the problem of one-fifth of the world's population's subsistence, but because of the characteristics of hybrid rice is only a high yield, taste and texture are not good, the general urban families do not like to buy hybrid rice to eat, Zheng Yuming's old cousin sister-in-law to buy is the local terrier rice, the terrier rice Can do seed, unlike hybrid rice seeds can only be used for one generation, to the second generation of undesirable traits will be shown, it will reduce yields. The yield of this kind of terrier rice is not as good as hybrid rice, but it was definitely an excellent seed in ancient times. The forest land is fertile, reclaim a piece of rice land to plant rice, two people and a dog's subsistence problem can certainly be guaranteed.
After the discovery of divine seeds rice, in the kitchen also found a dozen sweet potatoes, two pumpkins, five potatoes, in the cabinet drawer also found a dozen packets of vegetable seeds, which is Zheng Yuming old cousin sister-in-law in the villa fence side planting vegetables to buy, the two pieces of vegetables on the ground is the old cousin sister-in-law planted. There are two giant grapes in the yard, two jujube trees behind the workers' houses, three cherries, three apple trees and a dozen peach trees.
In addition to these, the canteen kitchen also has some ingredients, the most pleasant surprise is that the canteen has more than three boxes of salt, a box of fifty bags, which was bought after the 311 earthquake in Japan in 2011, Zheng Yu kept in mind that the old cousin's sister-in-law bought five boxes in one breath, and so long as the storm of the grabbing of salt subsided, the old cousin's sister-in-law's family how to not finish eating these salts, the four boxes of salt to move to the base of the flower and wood base, flower and wood base of the more than two dozen workers, eat for almost two years, but also but ate up more than sixty packets.
In addition to food, it is the tools in the three warehouses let Chu Zhaohui eyes light up, although these tools are used to repair flowers and trees, but planting food is just as useful. The greenhouse behind the villa is full of precious flower seedlings, these flowers with high value in the twenty-first world are useless in this time and space, but with the greenhouse, planting some vegetables in winter can solve the problem of chlorophyll.
The end of the inventory, Zheng Yuming carrying the corn that was forced by the supermarket lamented, is it God knows he has this fate, specially let him material enough to travel to a different time and space, so that his Flower and Wood Villa to become a real paradise?
