Chu Zhaohui is not interested in chasing the two ancient people who fled as fast as a rabbit, when he rushed to the place where he exclaimed 'help' with a steel stick, the two men wearing yellow clothes, not waiting for Chu Zhaohui to take action, they threw away the mule cart and fled away with their legs. These two men didn't dare to take action to escape the action, didn't let Chu Chao Hui surprised, because those two indigenous men are really too short, the eye on 160 centimeters out of the head, the body is thin and thin, such height and physique, on carrying a steel rod, higher than them on twenty centimeters of the strong through the people, don't run is a two fools, from the two men's reaction to look at, they are still very resourceful.
"This strong man, thank you for saving the even family." The brown-clothed man beside the mule cart climbed up from the ground, not caring about the fear of beating the dust on his body, he bent down and bowed respectfully to Chu Chao Hui to thank him.
The brown man's accent and the twenty-first century local dialect of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is very similar, Chu Chao Hui's father is originally from Zhejiang, Chu Chao Hui was used to listening to that local dialect when he was a child, not quite able to speak, but can be understood, the brown man's accent although there are differences between the dialect of the twenty-first century and the brown man, but compared to the brown man's current behavior, Chu Chao Hui can still understand the general meaning.
"A show of hands, no need to be too concerned." Chu Chao Hui politely, since he was talking to the ancients, he always had to be archaic, besides, he didn't help anything by carrying a stick to scare away the two men.
The brown clothed man was in his early forties, and he was also not very tall, the top of his head was only up to Chu Chao Hui's shoulders, about the same stature as the two fleeing men. He didn't seem to understand the meaning of what Chu Chao Hui said, blinking his eyes and looking up at his savior, his face was a bit puzzled.
"What's going on?" Zheng Yuming followed from behind, and he looked at the direction where the two hans had fled, where there was no longer a silhouette to be seen.
"Two good men! Thank you for your help, the Even Family is grateful." When the man in brown saw Zheng Yuming, his attitude of saying thank you became more and more respectful. Just saw Chu Chaohui rushed from the corner of the path, he was surprised, good tall and powerful strong man, so tall man, he has not seen, such as Zheng Yuming also ran over, brown man more surprised, because Zheng Yuming although shorter than Chu Chaohui five centimeters, but Zheng Yuming face white, features handsome, such a good look, he traveled around for more than ten years have not seen, these two people on the body clothing although Odd, but clean, clothes material can not see good or bad, but the color on the fabric of the clothes is uniformly bright, not ordinary civilians can have, the brown man analysis, these two people must be the children of the big families. Because the heart so analyzed the identity of the benefactor, Chu Chao Hui and Zheng Yuming even if they did not help, brown people do not dare to treat the two people disrespectful attitude.
"The road should have pulled out the sword to help." Zheng Yuming also came up with a literal reply.
The first communication between the travelers of the twenty-first century and the ancients of this time and space was very uneventful; the travelers could understand the dialect of the ancients, while the ancients did not understand the meaning of the words of the two travelers.
Zheng Yuming on the brown clothed man's blank expression, could not help but pat his head, he and Chu Chao Hui speak Mandarin, the northern dialect of ancient times, and the place they are now in, from the plants and animals they have seen these days, this place is by no means the location of the capital city that area, quite similar to the southern region. In ancient times, the transportation was not developed, the population was not too mobile, how would the ancient people living in the south understand the northern dialect? No wonder the people in brown clothes were at a loss as to what they were saying.
Zheng Yuming's hometown is in the land of Wu Yue, he grew up in the countryside, speak a mouthful of dialect, unlike Chu Chao Hui can not speak only listen to find the problem, Zheng Yuming immediately use their own hometown dialect and the brown people to communicate with the dialect of the two space-time there is a big difference, but more than a couple of times, and even with gestures and guessing, or to understand each other's meaning.
The man in brown is a trader, he just sold a carload of goods from Dacheng to return home, yesterday it was too late to rush back home before dark, so he stayed one night in a small village called Houpo in front of him, and drove a mule cart to his home early this morning, and didn't want to meet the bandits here, the bandits were going to rob the mule cart, but the mule lost its hooves from the shock, and the car overturned on its side by the side of the road, and the two bandits were beating him to the ground trying to straighten up the mule cart as Chu Chaohui was coming to The mule cart was on the ground when Chu Chao Hui arrived.
"The even family has nothing to thank you for, this is produced in Dacheng, forget the benefactor smile!" The brown clothed man held the two cloths bought from Dacheng in front of Chu Chao Hui.
This brown-clothed man claimed to be an even family, and the two travelers thought that this middle-aged ancient man's name was even family, and only after some exchanges with the brown-clothed man did they realize that 'even family' was the local people's self-address, the same as 'under me' and 'I despise you' were humble self-addresses. ' is the same as a humble self-appellation. This brown surnamed Wu, name ?, family ranking the largest, the village people used to address according to the ranking, so Wu Da became the common name of the brown man, and Wu ? this name, only with people to use the formal friendship.
Chu Chao Hui and Zheng Yuming do not understand the situation of this world, is thinking about how to deal with the ancients, and now inadvertently saved Wu Da, would like to fight for Wu Da good sense, so that Wu Da to do their heterogeneous space and time Baidu, Wu Da rewarded coarse cloth, the two men where they will look at the eye, immediately resolute resignation, resolute to do that do not ask for return chivalrous man.
In the Chu Chao Hui and Zheng Yuming's firm resignation, Wu Da only had to take back the reward, at that time Chu Chao Hui and Zheng Yuming did not know, this world's cloth is equivalent to currency, a cloth, equivalent to a civilian family's living expenses for more than two months, Wu Da is sent to two, is equal to send out the earning of the sale of the city of Dacheng he went to this time, such a reward can be said to be not too heavy, Wu Da believes that compared to the mule cart was robbed, send two cloth is worth it, because a mule cart needs to take at least ten pairs of cloth can be exchanged for a mule cart. Wu Da thought that compared to the mule cart being robbed, sending two pints of cloth was worthwhile, because a mule cart needs to take at least ten pints of cloth to be exchanged.
Zheng Yuming to Wu Da self-introduction of his life is and Chu Chao Hui along the way fabricated, claiming that the two are overseas islanders, with the clan boat encountered a storm, the clan were killed in the storm, only the two of them with the broken boat drifted here, and now in the river at the foot of the mountains to build a temporary residence, this time over the mountains, want to look for a place to buy some items.
Wu Da listened to the two unfortunate, did not have any doubt, because the mountains west of the long river is ultimately to the sea, from the sea down the estuary drift to here, is not impossible. Wu Da heart sympathy for their suffering, immediately invited the two benefactors with him back to the village, his family village is located in the river port, is a river crossing, watercraft moored there more, slowly formed a village, Wu Da ancestors are nobles, because of the crime of exile to the south, in the port of the place of the roots, because it is the crime of exile, was deprived of his ancestral family name to the place, which is a hundred miles around the area, collectively called the Wu land, Wu Da's ancestors took Wu as a family name, to Wu Da's generation, Wu family in the port of the same family name there are more than a dozen families. This village port can be exchanged for ordinary daily necessities.
Lost hooves of the mule has long since stood up on its own, the overturned wooden cart was three people righted, the wooden cart carriage is made of bamboo, wooden cart wheels most of the material is wood, only a small portion of the iron, such as the axle of that place.
The mule that pulls the cart is a horse mule, the offspring of a mare mated to a male donkey. It has hybrid dominance, and is as large as a horse, with a larger body, smaller ears, and fluffy hair on the tail. This type of mule lives longer than a horse or donkey, and is also stronger, with three people on the mule cart, the horse mule still walks easily.
Wooden head was sleeping in the backpack, was Zheng Yuming's a rush to run upside down to wake up, Zheng Yuming ran to Wu Da in front of, its little head is from the backpack mouth out to look out. Wu Da did not think that there would be a small animal in the backpack, so when Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui sat on the mule cart, from the backpack to the probing head of the wood into the lap, Wu Da's mouth opened into a O.
"Why are you holding the wolf cubs, Strong Master Zheng?"
"Huh? Wolf pups?" Zheng Yuming looked at the wood, it wasn't a wolf pup, it was a wolf dog pup, an impure breed of German Shepherd.
"The she-wolf will follow the scent, it's better to throw it away before it's too late." Wu Da enthusiastically suggested, he felt in his heart that these two overseas people were too bold to go to the wolf's den to pull out the cubs, and he was not afraid of the mother wolf's retaliation.
"This little wolf cub is quite pitiful, the mother wolf was bitten to death by the tiger, if we don't retrieve this wolf cub, this wolf cub is a dead end." Chu Chao Hui grabbed in front of Zheng Yuming to explain to Wu Da, when they narrated their life with Wu Da, they said that they drifted in the sea for a long time of three months, the appearance of the wood is only more than two months old, how can it be that they brought from overseas, he was afraid that Zheng Yuming could not react, said that the wood is not a wolf cub, it was brought from home to the wolf dog, so that there is a revealing place that will lead people to suspicion, and hastily helped the wood to arrange the family background.
"Oh, so the mother wolf is dead." Wu Da sighed with relief, someone in his village had once carried a wolf cub back to his village, as a result, the mother wolf followed him and not only carried the wolf cub away, but also bitten a three year old boy child of that family's home to death, since then, people in Wu Da's village no longer dared to casually carry a wolf cub back home.
The wood does not know that the three humans in front of it are talking about it, today was taken out by the master, has been extraordinarily excited, and now also liberated by the master from the backpack, is even happier than ever, lying in Zheng Yuming's lap straight roll.
Wood didn't eat much food in the morning because at that time it didn't even think it would be taken by its master, it only stared at its master who was packing his bags and sulked, and didn't have an appetite for the food that was carefully prepared for it. Now that he was happy, he felt his little stomach flatten and immediately whimpered towards Zheng Yuming to be fed.
Zheng Yuming has long been clear about the meaning of the wood of the various calls, figured out that the little guy is hungry and asked him for food, so from the backpack to touch out a pheasant leg to feed the wood, pheasant are pressure cooker cooked, thigh meat is very rotten, suitable for the wood such as a small dog swallowed and digested. Zheng Yuming and Chu Zhaohui sitting in the wooden car, Wu Da is sitting in front of the wooden carriage driving horses and mules, smelled the smell, saw Zheng Yuming even to the wolf cubs feeding minced meat, the heart of the overseas benefactor on the one hand feel too wasteful, on the other hand, but also determined that these two people are benevolent and kind-hearted, no wonder when he heard him calling for help, these two strong man will not hesitate to come forward to rescue, such a benevolent and righteous people, should be devoted to each other.
Chu Chao Hui and Zheng Yuming did not know that Wu Da rated them so highly, just now heard the rescue run over, but only relying on their own hands with hot weapons, not afraid of life and limb, hot weapons against the ancients, as steel knives against wooden knives, not at all in a class.
At this time the wagon wheels are wooden, there is no anti-seismic function, coupled with the road are dirt roads, potholes, two people sitting in the mule cart, not as comfortable as walking, but see in the mule cart running faster than they walk, the two people also put up with it, all the way along the side and Wu Da chatting, while checking out the surrounding situation.
Mule car ran for twenty minutes, the two saw both sides of the dirt road began to have traces of cultivation, cultivated land in the most is some sparse wheat seedlings, and then go forward for ten minutes, began to have scattered houses, all the earth walls thatched roof, all the way also encountered a number of pedestrians, are not tall, thin and weak, the face of the appearance of vegetable color, the body clothing is not as bright as the Wu Dai wear, there are a number of people on the clothes and patches. These people know Wu Da, see Wu Da will open the mouth to greet, Chu Chao Hui and Zheng Yuming is sitting in the car, blocked by the carport, the pedestrians did not find the two men dressed in peculiar, but also did not pay more attention to them, only thought it was Wu Da to take the way to rush to the south port of the boat passers-by, because the port is the river river mooring berthing place, around the people want to take a boat to somewhere else, you have to go to the port and so on the boat.
Wu Da is in the village called Nanbu, meaning southern port, in Chu Chao Hui and Zheng Yuming's imagination, Nanbu can be described as a waterway transportation hub, this place should be more prosperous, such as mule carts into the village, the two travelers finally saw the true face of the ancient village.
