Shu Guan was really thinking about something just now.
This moment, this place, is not a suitable place to think about things.
But what the long-legged girl said just now revealed too much information.
Information out there! Information about this world!
Looking at the broken corpses of the sparrows at his feet, Shu Guan immediately understood the purpose of the long-legged girl.
I have to say that this was the best approach at the time.
It not only demonstrates the power they possess, but also prevents the people of Taoyuan Village from misjudging the gap in real power between the two parties and acting recklessly.
At the same time, the lives of the people in Taoyuan Village were saved.
This long-legged girl not only has first-class looks, but also has excellent intelligence and decisiveness.
Then, Shu Guan heard the human words spoken by the long-legged girl.
warlord? The Republic of China?
Except for the difference in name, Shu Guan instantly felt like he had traveled to China in the early 20th century.
It seems that the original Great China Dynasty has perished!
So how did the Great China Empire perish?
Does it have anything to do with the Gengshen Incident recorded in the notes left by the old scholar?
And what is the situation like in the Republic of China now?
Shu Guan watched the conversation between the long-legged girl and the white man seriously, his mind running rapidly.
After living in this small valley for eighteen years, he finally saw a glimmer of hope to escape. He couldn't help but try his best to seize this opportunity.
In his previous life, Shu Guan was not the kind of person who was good at observing words and expressions, but he still had no problem with being sober in general. So now, listening to the conversation between the long-legged girl and the old white man, even though it was just a few sentences, he felt Still heard a lot of things.
Girls with long legs look very strong, but in fact they don’t seem to have much confidence...
Because if this girl was really confident, she wouldn't have done that just now.
Shooting sparrows with a submachine gun is like a helpless choice.
The daughter of a dignified military governor had no choice but to compromise in front of these white men. What does this mean?
It seems that the situation of the Republic of China is very similar to that of a certain historical period in China before time travel.
I just don’t know how much I have been bullied by others.
Shuguan's thoughts were racing and he quickly made some judgments.
Then he heard a clear and melodious voice in front of him, calling Shu Guan back from his distraction.
"You, take us to find that Taoist temple."
Shuguan didn't resist the request of the long-legged girl at all.
In fact, even if the long-legged girl doesn't say anything, he will take the initiative to ask for it.
Because if he wants to leave Taoyuan Village, he can only rely on these people to take him out.
If you want someone to take you, the first step is to get close to them.
"OK!"
So Shu Guan nodded quickly, then paused and said:
"But not today."
"Why."
The long-legged girl frowned.
"Because it's too late today."
"To get to the Taoist temple, we have to walk a long mountain road. The mountain road is very difficult to walk, especially the last half of the journey. It is impossible to walk after the sun goes down."
"By the way, the sun sets relatively early here, so we won't see the sun until about 2:00 am."
"So if we want to go to that Taoist temple, we have to do it early tomorrow."
Shu Guan raised his hand and pointed at the sun that had moved directly over the grain drying field, and said to Xu Chuxiang with a smile.
He tried to make his tone sincere and his smile sincere.
It's a pity that the long-legged girl didn't even look at him.
…
Because he had to go up the mountain early tomorrow morning, Xu Chuxiang and Professor Holt discussed it and decided to stay in the valley tonight, otherwise it would be a waste of time to come back and forth.
Although Xu Chuxiang was a little angry because of Professor Holt's disregard for the lives of the Chinese people, in the end Xu Chuxiang suppressed these dissatisfactions.
Firstly, for the sake of the teacher, and also because no one really died in the end, Xu Chuxiang decided to accompany Professor Holt on this adventure.
As for when she returns to Jingcheng, she will no longer entertain them as warmly as before. These white people will go and do whatever they want.
She, Miss Xu, can't control what these white people do, but she still has the qualifications to ignore them.
As for the night's accommodation, the ugly and weird pockmarked young man immediately invited her to stay at his house.
The pock-marked young man said that he had three houses in his house. He lived alone and could comfortably accommodate two people.
Xu Chuxiang naturally refused without thinking.
Looking at a face like that, she felt tormented even if she stayed for a second longer. How could she still go to someone else's house?
And in a village like this where ancient people have gathered for more than two hundred years, the home must be very unhygienic. Xu Chuxiang occasionally goes to the countryside near Jingcheng for a walk. She has seen the situation in the countryside. She, Miss Xu, would rather sleep in a tent. Nor would I sleep on a bed in that kind of house.
The most important reason is that she doesn't like this pockmarked young man.
Although this pockmarked young man was the first among the villagers to stand up and express his willingness to take them to the Taoist temple, it was precisely because of this that Xu Chuxiang did not like this pockmarked young man.
You know, she hadn't drawn her gun yet.
Miss Xu, who came from a military family, could not stand such a spineless man.
Especially the flattering tone in which the pockmarked young man spoke to her was as annoying as his pockmarked face.
In Jingcheng, Xu Chuxiang saw many such people.
If Shu Guan knew what Xu Chuxiang was thinking at that time, he would definitely feel aggrieved.
I was obviously sincere, so why did I become flattering?
In short, Xu Chuxiang did not follow him back to live in the village, and Shu Guan's first attempt to please him failed.
Professor Holt and the mercenaries did not let the people in Taoyuan Village arrange a house for them to spend the night.
This was because of McCraw's cautious suggestion: They were not currently on friendly terms with the people in this village. The people in the village were just frightened by the power of their weapons and had to surrender.
If they sleep in the village, some accidents are likely to happen while they are sleeping. It is better to set up tents by the stream outside the village. With the wide view there and the alertness of their few mercenaries, it will be difficult for others to sneak up on them. Unnoticed.
Anyway, before setting off early this morning, I had already made plans for various situations and brought with me a complete set of equipment and supplies for spending the night in the wild.
As a senior explorer, Professor Holt will naturally not forget this kind of thing.
We took the camping equipment off the helicopter and quickly set up several camping tents by the stream.
After setting up the tent, Professor Holt, his assistant James, and the mercenaries started making coffee outside the tent.
Looking at this scene from a distance, Shu Guan couldn't help but feel nostalgic. He hadn't been camping for a long time!
However, camping is something that only bored people who live in the city are happy to do.
Shuguan has lived in Taoyuan Village for more than ten years, and he has never thought about setting up a tent outside the village to sleep. If he doesn't sleep in a warm quilt at home, he must go out to feed mosquitoes. That's a mental illness.
I watched in the stream not far from the tents, touched a big and fat crucian carp and went home.
After returning home, he moved out a jar of the most delicious pickled bracken, cut off the fattest and leanest piece of meat from the bacon hanging under the eaves, and then made a pot of crucian carp bacon and bracken soup.
When the lid of the pot was opened, a mouth-watering aroma filled the entire courtyard.
Shu Guan took a deep sip, with a satisfied expression in his eyes. Today's pot of crucian carp, bacon and bracken soup can be regarded as the pinnacle of his cooking skills.
Even if the old cripple is still alive, he can't do better.
The old cripple taught Shu Guan many skills during his lifetime, but what Shu Guan learned best was neither farming, fishing, hunting, or embroidery and blacksmithing, but cooking.
Only in this matter did he appear to be superior to others.
As for the reasons, one is because of his own foodie attributes, and the other reason is that he watched too many food videos on a certain music channel in his previous life. Before traveling through time, his cooking skills were quite good. After all, as an orphan, he had to give Cooking for yourself is the most basic life skill.
Looking at the snow-white fish meat, dark green bracken, and bright red bacon in the pot, rolling in the golden fish soup, Shu Guan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Unfortunately, this pot of fish is not for yourself.
Shu Guan took a big bamboo basket and put the fish soup and the pot directly in the bamboo basket. Then he left the house with the bamboo basket and walked towards the stream outside the village again.
Yes, he made this pot of fish soup for that long-legged girl.
Although the long-legged girl was very cold towards him, she did not agree to go home with him.
But Shuguan was ready to continue to please the long-legged girl.
This is the same as chasing girls. You can't give up just because a girl you just met treats you coldly and rejects you once.
It’s not like I’ve never been a bitch in my previous life!
If you want someone to take you out, you have to show your worth and make them think you are quite useful. Only then will you have a chance to ask her.
This time Shuguan is going to show off his cooking skills.
Shu Guan carried a big bamboo basket and trotted all the way to the stream.
Fish soup should be drunk while it's hot, as it will be completely tasteless when it's cold.
But as soon as he came to the stream, he suddenly paused, because looking from a distance, he saw the long-legged girl named Xu Chuxiang, sitting on a large smooth pebble next to the stream, with another girl. The same very beautiful girl chatted.
Yadan, why are you here?
A cloud of doubt arose in Shu Guan's heart.
