Chapter 2 Want to be barbecued?
Chen Chang was snot and tears on his face, and cried in a low voice and begged for mercy, but the old man ignored him. Instead, he sorted out the tablets and said something in his mouth.
After a while, the middle-aged woman cried and brought her children to the ancestral hall, wanting to get close to Chen Chang, but the old man stopped him. The middle-aged woman had to kneel in front of the tablet with her child and kowtowed constantly.
After a while, seven or eight middle-aged men and women, and children came to peek outside the ancestral hall, but they didn't dare to come in.
Chen Chang's call for mercy did not gain the favor of the crowd who had just come in. Instead, it seemed to scare them and stay away from Chen Chang.
Chen Chang watched the old man take out two stones, constantly knocking on each other and igniting an oil lamp. The oil lamp looks very old, but the material looks no more than ten years old.
After lighting the oil lamp, the old man took out a handful of very inferior incense wax from the house. He lit the wax and placed it in front of the tablet, lit the incense and distributed it to everyone.
The old man said a few words to everyone, comforted the middle-aged woman, and then took the lead in kneeling down and worshiping.
After the kneeling and worshiping, the old man said a few words to Chen Chang, and Chen Chang also said in Mandarin and Southwest dialect. As a result, both sides obviously spoke to each other.
The main house of the ancestral hall is not big, but the courtyard is not small.
The old man left with the middle-aged woman and the child, and only three men stayed behind.
The three of them sat in a corner of the courtyard, chatting with each other about what Chen Chang couldn't understand, and of course they looked at Chen Chang from time to time.
Chen Chang felt very uncomfortable at this time and couldn't sit down. His legs were sore when he stood, and his stomach was hungry. He looked at the sky with his eyes, but he didn't know what to do.
The sun slowly set off, and Chen Chang felt a little cold. He looked down and found that the clothes he was wearing were as strange as theirs. Except for the gray color, they were the same as the linen that used to hold things in the countryside.
"Have you traveled through time?" Chen Chang thought to himself that the people I just saw were obviously Han people, all of whom were yellow-skinned and dark-haired. Although their skin was a little dark, they were obviously overworked and tanned.
However, Chen Chang has read novels. Others can get along with each other when they travel through time. Why can’t he do it?
Did you travel to the tribal era? However, it is obvious that it is not the case, depending on everyone’s clothes, houses, etc.
Is it because the system is not activated?
"System, system, show up quickly." Chen Chang kept chanting in a low voice.
However, no matter whether you open your eyes or close your eyes or call in your mind, there is no system to appear.
Helplessly, Chen Chang had to call the three people sitting, but no matter how he shouted, the other party was indifferent.
Someone came again. Chen Chang looked at the person who came happily, preparing to change his crying look and use a smile to greet him. Can he be rescued?
More than one person came, and in a short while, Chen Chang's happy face turned into a bitter gourd color.
Among the people who came, except for one with a flowery face, feathers on his head, and a black stick in his hand. The rest were holding all kinds of firewood, including branches, studs, bamboo tubes, hay, etc., all kinds of.
They placed firewood in the middle of the courtyard and built a large fire.
"I'm going to be burned." Chen Chang seemed to understand immediately.
He has read a lot of online novels, but the protagonist in the article either comes online in the system or can blow down the birds in the sky. The most time is that he can share the joy with everyone with a long mouth. Why does he face burning to death when he appears on the stage?
When Chen Chang thought of those online critics, he couldn't help but tremble all over. Critics often left messages to criticize online authors, saying that the protagonists would sing loudly as soon as they appeared, and happily started various inventions and creations, and spoke of shocking language. If it really happened, they would definitely be burned to death as a monster.
Thinking about the beauty, it must be like a wizard, and the firewood held by the villagers. If you want to reason, no one can understand it.
Alas! Chen Chang was crying and crying!
The middle-aged woman came back with the child, holding an object in one hand and a black pottery bowl in the other.
Seeing Chen Chang's pitiful and cowardly appearance, the middle-aged woman put down her things and wanted to loosen her ties, but was stopped by the villagers around her. She had to pour water into the pottery bowl and feed Chen Chang gently.
After drinking two bowls of water, Chen Chang, who was hungry and thirsty, finally got better. However, no matter how much water he drank, he could only deceive his stomach, which could not really satisfy his hunger and thirst.
The middle-aged woman said something again, but she was soon pulled away by another middle-aged woman.
Just now, Chen Chang listened carefully and vaguely heard that the middle-aged woman seemed to have called "son" several times.
"Can I be her son?" Chen Chang shook his head, trying to kick this idea out of his mind, but he thought about it again. Now his eleven and two-year-old body should probably be her son, who traveled over and occupied the other party's body.
Just as Chen Chang was thinking randomly, he suddenly covered his mouth with a small hand, and a dough-feeling thing in his hand also entered his mouth.
He looked at the child beside him in horror, and saw the child use his eyes and mouth to signal him to eat quickly. Sometimes, communication between people can be not only based on words, but also on eyes and movements.
After Chen Chang closed his mouth, the child took his hands away. He tried to bite it and felt that it was not as fine as the white flour, and it looked a bit like the coarse grain noodles. Although it tasted like grain, the taste was still not very good.
When Chen Chang vomited, the child looked around and took some out of his wide sleeves and fed them to him.
Now, Chen Chang saw clearly what it was. The brown and black balls were covered with some grass clippings from the clothes. After looking at them, he couldn't tell what it was. As long as it could be eaten and filled with his stomach, Chen Chang wouldn't care so much.
After the child fed Chen Chang, he licked the remaining things on his hands and then picked up another piece of them for Chen Chang.
Five or six times later, the child shook his sleeves and signaled that it was gone. Under Chen Chang's guidance, he drank a lot of water before jumping away.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the evening, the villagers lit the fire, but did not throw Chen Chang in and roast it. Instead, under the leadership of the flowery man, everyone jumped around the fire for nearly an hour before everyone left slowly.
The old man at the beginning drove away the middle-aged woman and the child and said a few more words to Chen Chang, but Chen Chang still didn't understand. Then, the old man just loosened a little rope for Chen Chang and asked Chen Chang to sit on the ground, and tied it tightly again.
After the old man left, there were only two people who looked like a vigil sitting by the fire dozing off.
The next morning, Chen Chang was awakened by urine. When the old man left last night, he fed him a lot of water.
It took a few pounds and two tigers to make the two night watchmen understand that he was going to the cottage.
During the whole day, neither middle-aged women nor children were able to enter the ancestral hall. Chen Chang saw them several times and wanted to come in, but was forcibly driven away by the guarded villagers.
The old man came once at noon, and after talking to Chen Chang, he shook his head and left. During the whole day, Chen Chang had never had food except drinking water.
In the evening, the villagers came with firewood again. The same process was the same yesterday, but the middle-aged woman and child were missing.
Because the villagers brought more firewood today than yesterday, the two people who were vigilant at night did not sit and sleep like yesterday, but spread some hay on the ground and fell to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Chen Chang woke up.
During the day, he didn't get any food except drinking water, and at this time he felt cold and hungry.
There were only scattered fires in the fire, and they were about to be extinguished soon.
He looked at the fire, looked at the sleeping night watchman, looked at the sky again, looked at the gate again, and was about to think about how he should escape when he saw something crawling in from the foot of the wall by the gate.
I heard that there were wild animals everywhere in ancient times. Could it be that a wolf came in?
When he was about to shout, he found the black shadow standing up.
It's a human! Although there is insufficient light, it can still be seen that it has a head, hands and legs.
The black shadow stood up and looked at the fire. Seeing that the night watcher had not woken up, he walked towards Chen Chang hunched over.
Soon, Chen Chang vaguely judged from the height and walking form of the shadow that the other party was the child with the middle-aged woman. If Chen Chang's body was a woman's son, then the child should be his younger brother, Chen Chang thought so.
The child is very brave. He walked hunched over the road before, while the one behind him was completely running. Fortunately, because he was light in weight, the child didn’t make much noise when he got on the road.
The child fed Chen Chang a bite. Chen Chang quickly swallowed himself. When he waited for the second bite, he found that the child was untiing the rope for him. However, it was obvious that the child was not very good at this and could not untickle it in seven or eight minutes.
The child was very anxious and dared not speak, and he didn't even dare to speak out. He looked at Chen Chang with tears in his eyes.
The children must have been instructed by middle-aged women to rescue them, and they are so urgent that they are likely to be sent to the fire after dawn and roasted by the villagers.
Chen Chang became even more anxious and complained in his heart why the child didn't bring a knife, while trying to break free from his bound hands. His eyes looked around with the help of the flames, and a broken tiles fell into Chen Chang's eyes.
He gestured with his feet and hands for a long time before the child understood. The child got the tiles and under Chen Chang's guidance for more than ten minutes, he realized using broken tiles to mow the grass rope.
I have never encountered such a stupid person who doesn't know how to bring a knife to save people, and I can't even see a rope.
After removing the constraints, Chen Chang did not run away immediately. No matter how anxious the child was, he ignored him and asked the child to sit on the steps with him. He also waved his arms lightly, rubbed his hands gently, and rubbed his thighs after a while.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to run, but that he has been tied up for more than a day, his hands and feet are numb and he can’t run away at all.
After barely recovering his movements, the two found the dog hole in the ancestral hall and crawled out together.
The moon is about to fall, and darkness is slowly invading the earth.
After leaving the ancestral hall, Chen Chang didn't know how to leave.
The most important thing among the reasons why I don’t know how to go is that Chen Chang can’t see the way clearly. He put his palms less than half a foot away from his eyes before he could see the outline blurredly.
Night blindness!
