Not long after, there were footsteps coming back in the distance again, and in the reflection of the cage fire shaking behind the corner, someone even shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Sanpi, we have found it... Don't delay any longer... I have to rush to the Red Carp Room to have a drink later. I'm so shocked... After finishing this trick, I had to take refuge in the abandoned village under the Lishan Mausoleum. For a while, we no longer see the many benefits of Xijing."
"So you said... How much reward should Xiao Feng brother give us this time... It's best if we can get a fan to go there together, so as to relieve our boredom..."
I saw that the person who came was holding a dim yellow lantern in his hand, which illuminated a dark and ugly face. He also held a dirty broken jar in his other hand, which was clearly the old hozen that left before.
However, after not getting the expected response, the old hozen looked around at the darkness suspiciously, then slowly walked to the wall and continued to shout:
"Where have you been hiding, you lazy, mischievous bastard? Come out quickly... If you accidentally reveal your secrets, Zhang Kuai Dao in the Huitou Workshop is afraid that he won't skin you and me to make drums?..."
The next moment, the old hozen looked around anxiously at the shouting old hozen, and was suddenly startled by the corpse he saw on the ground. "Ha!!! Hello, my dear mother..."
The next moment, his scalp suddenly felt a sharp pain, but his hair was pulled hard and he fell backwards in pain. The old hozen suddenly lost its balance and struggled with all its strength, but a knife fell from the side and cut it on the Adam's apple.
The old hozen, who was caught off guard, blurted out a shrill scream like a night owl, and then stopped. The next moment, his head and face suddenly hit the hard rammed earth wall with the force of pulling his hair and fierce collisions behind him, and he was crushed hard, leaving a bloody mark.
After a while, the old hozen, which had been hit repeatedly, was finally released. It waved its hands in the air like a bird with broken wings, turned back, lost its balance, and fell into a side ditch by the roadside, almost with its head. The shameless one threw himself into the cracked soil at the bottom of the ditch;
Then, Jiang Tian, who fell from the shadows out of thin air, kneeled down on his back without hesitation, and used his whole body weight to push his neck into the broken soil that was beaten and struggled;
Then he slowly waved the stick in his hand, hitting the back of the head and back that were erecting like a dehydrated fish, and hit it hard with the heavy tip again; just a moment later, he let go of the already dead body under his feet. A body that no longer moves.
In the blink of an eye, this was the second thief who died in his own hands. However, Jiang Tian no longer felt any surprise or excitement, and instead felt a little dazed. Even the life-and-death struggle he had just experienced seemed a bit unreal.
And a new prompt appeared in his field of vision again: "The second step of the guidance mission is completed, and energy is being collected."
Despite this, as a certain kind of intense excitement gradually subsided from the body, and he felt the heaviness and fatigue again, Jiang Tian felt that there was something that had been pent up and blocked in his body for a long time, and all of it gave vent to the dripping pleasure and temporary pleasure. Thoughts flow freely.
That is also an indescribable feeling that cannot be felt and experienced in the domestic environment of modern times that has been in peace for a long time. Is this due to the influence of his past experiences, or does every man actually have some element of killing and violence left behind by his ancestors from ancient times hidden in his body?
After all, during Jiang Tian's time in the Black Continent, there was no shortage of unexpected surprises or encounters with lions, cheetahs, and hyenas at the top of the food chain. There was also no lack of personal observations of scenes in nature that were more bloody than this one. and process.
Of course, that was also the period when he was most wanton and happy when he freely manipulated various firearms banned in the country. Among the tribal armed forces and local forces that he has participated in health services and epidemic prevention and control, many Wanguo brand equipment that spans the entire modern firearms development are still used;
From the flintlock guns, striker guns, and double-barreled elephant hunting guns left over from the era of old and new colonists, to the old Mauser and one-on-one guns from the First World War, to the grease guns, Touch the Heart, Li Enfei, and Gadlan from the Second World War. ; Even the civilian artifacts of the third world later - AK and 56 and a half; as well as larger can openers, cloth tearers, and Haskells, he tried to use them one by one;
Is this more enjoyable and more powerful than the Internet celebrity UP hosts who live broadcast "Good luck, eat chicken tonight"? What's more, because he was on tour as a team doctor for diagnosis; he also received guidance from many veterans who were involved in foreign aid project construction and civilian security teams in the local area. It can be said that they were veterans who had hunted crocodiles, buffaloes, and hyenas. .
It's a pity that all of this was completely gone from me due to unexpected changes. Jiang Tian laughed at himself in his memories while trying to divert his attention away from the blood. He looked around and observed his surroundings again. In the gray night sky, there was only a dim light from the lantern, which reflected the faded green ramie shirt and frayed black boots on his body.
Jiang Tian looked at the remaining puddles in the ditch on the roadside and the dim lights. The face had some faint outlines of its original appearance. Then he looked at his teeth, which were quite neat, and there was very little enamel wear. It seemed that he had eaten a lot. The food was pretty good.
It's just that the coagulated blood under the tilted head and the swelling on the back of the head are really painful when touched. When you touch your hand, there are wet blood stains that have not yet solidified, so your face is even more pale and listless when your face twitches.
Then Jiang Tian began to inspect himself again. The limbs are also completely different. As a carnivore who once enjoyed all kinds of meat, the tendon meat that was tempered and the dark skin that was exposed to the scorching sun of the savanna and the barren rain forest are gone.
Only the pale and slender hands and feet are left exposed, but you can feel the relatively solid muscles under the skin, and the skin is still shiny and elastic, with no unnecessary scars or bruises, and it doesn't seem like you need to be busy all day long. Born into a poor family.
Well, Jiang Tian can be thankful for at least one thing. Although I have traveled back to this somewhat frail body, the physical memory left by the training before going abroad, as well as the various conditioned reflexes, skills and experiences developed while walking on the black continent have not faded much;
Although the old green ramie shirt on my body has no patches, it has obviously been washed and worn for a long time. The cuffs and elbows have been worn to a white color and are even slightly thread-free. This also means that The financial situation of this body will not be much better.
Therefore, after searching for a long time, he found a dozen copper coins with the words Kaiyuan, Qianyuan, and Fengyou in the sleeve pocket lined with his jacket. Well, he can now determine from the exquisiteness of the quality that he is roughly in an era when the commodity economy and productivity were relatively prosperous.
Then there was a piece of paper that was carefully folded and hidden, and he suddenly vaguely remembered that it was an ultimatum. Something similar to the identity card of later generations. Then Jiang Tian remembered something about the previous game. One piece of good news and one piece of bad news.
The good news is that it is now the Tang Dynasty, which was at its peak in the feudal era, and it is still located in Chang'an City, Xijing, where the best of the world gathers; the bad news is that this does not seem to be the Tang Dynasty he is familiar with, or in other words, what this body can know is really limited.
Next, Jiang Tian suppressed the strange feeling that kept surging in his heart, pinched his nose to endure the smell of fresh plasma, and began to seize the time to search the whole body of the fallen thief.
First there was the short mule named Sanpier who had become erect. He touched a smelly short shirt and a stained lower crotch; in addition to the lantern and big stick thrown aside, there was also a bunch of polished copper coins and a wooden sign with rough bird patterns carved on it. Once the flints are used to make fire, nothing more can be produced.
The undressed corpse had rough, lackluster, dark skin, and there were irregular landscape tattoos and old scars, plus a clear bald spot under the turban and dirty wig.
This also made his mind involuntarily flood with speculations about the identity of the other party: This is obviously a product of the characteristics of this era - a typical place near the capital, named "Children of Wuling", "Evil Boy" and "Swashbuckler" A specialty of "Xianzi".
That is to say, similar existences that were beautified as "die-hards" and "old gunners" in later generations; but in this era, they obviously represent the lowest limit of human nature among the street groups who harbor evil and evil.
The items found on the body of another tall thief, Old Hozen, were even more pitiful. Apart from a handful of junk items whose purpose was unknown, there was only a small knife with a pointed tip wrapped around a hemp string wrapped around a wooden handle and a long blade covered with greasy. and a gourd.
So after sending the two corpses into the ditch together to keep them company, Jiang Tian tied the inch-edged knife on a short stick with a strip of cloth, which turned into a very simple short spear with a tilted head; Take it apart and tie a piece of tile to one end to become a throwing device.
Well, upgraded versions of near and far self-defense equipment are also available. He couldn't help but sigh to himself:
Don't underestimate these two simple things. The reason why human beings can stand out from the competition of freedom among all things in ancient times and become the spirit of all things at the top of the food chain is because they are good at using tools as minions to deal with various situations and changes.
Therefore, with the expansion of human civilization, the former king of beasts and jungle overlords have become rare species that can only be kept in zoos and artificially bred to avoid extinction. And behemoths such as elephants and hippos can only tremble in front of Uncle Black's spear.
Another old friend I met in Jiang Tian even had a legendary story of successfully killing half of the hyena group in the wild and scaring the other half away with just a knife and the commanding advantage of climbing a tree.
Then, he picked up the gourd, shook it, opened the stopper, smelled it, and drank a few sips of the remaining liquid without hesitation. It was sour and thin wine with many impurities; but it was It can calm some of the body's thirst and fatigue after strenuous exercise.
The next moment his body was moisturized and relaxed, a sad little face suddenly flashed before his eyes, making people feel particularly palpitating and anxious. It was as if something extremely important was about to be lost.
"Lolo"
He couldn't help but murmur a name. Then some fragments of memory came to life.
Faintly in a courtyard filled with the fragrance of orchid and osmanthus, another delicate and childish voice said to myself:
"My name is Luo Luo, Luo from Luoshui... Are you the new gentleman..."
Then Jiang Tian suddenly remembered that it seemed to be the first vassal state of the Tang Dynasty - Daxia. In the residence of the envoy stationed in Chang'an, his predecessor was Mr. Xixi who came as a personal recommendation. For the first time Meeting with students.
However, this is the city of Chang'an, which is at the feet of the Emperor and the most virtuous place. This is the most beautiful Lantern Festival for thousands of households. The city is full of citizens and people celebrate the special day all night long; there are also many public servants and sergeants patrolling all night long until dawn. The first of the Three Yuan Festival.
However, this heinous thing still happened in front of his eyes.
The young student who secretly ignored his family's prohibition and kept calling himself "Mr. Gao"; the clumsy girl who tried to pretend to be an ordinary person and sneaked out to play, but there were always one or two secrets exposed;
That little sweetheart who had no intention of enlightening me when I was inexplicably depressed and lost was just kidnapped on the street;
At the moment when he was laughing so hard while watching a shadow puppet show in front of the mountain gate of Baoqing Temple, he was suddenly knocked to the ground with force.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he only had time to see a few men with face masks dancing past. Their broad-brimmed robes of colorful silk threads were just thrown over the heads of the crowd, and the little man disappeared.
Then his predecessor went crazy in the street and chased him at all costs. Then during the chase in the alley, he was attacked by the thief who was waiting in advance. If he hadn't woken up in time, maybe there would be no chance at all.
However, Jiang Tian could not help but be disappointed with his predecessor. This stupid young man didn't have any power or props to rely on, and he didn't ask anyone for help or support. He even left a message with an acquaintance and just chased after him with all his passion.
It's no wonder that he was unexpectedly attacked from behind, beaten and left aside with blood on his head; since the other party dared to do such a thing on the street, how could he not have any accomplices to support him and cooperate with him?
But now it is completely different. This body that almost died has been replaced by a soul and consciousness of a completely different generation, which has also brought about completely different encounters and results.
However, as his body's thirst and exhaustion eased, Jiang Tian hesitated slightly again. Should he continue to chase alone? Instead of returning to the street and calling more people to help search.
However, he soon began to smile bitterly, because according to the remaining memory of this body, when he turned around and called for help, or spent countless efforts to win the trust of those Wuhou and bad people patrolling the streets, he was afraid that everything would happen. The daylilies are almost cold.
Is it possible that this time I really have to be a lone hero from beginning to end? And in the dark alley, the faint broken petals of Toye flower (jasmine), after being trampled, emit a fragrant fragrance that is diffused in the wind.
This was also the last trace and clue left during the Lantern Festival all-night lantern festival, when he was tugging at the stranger and tearing off the flower string on the other's colorful silk robe with his own hands.
