Chapter 5 Beautiful scenery
Before leaving, Gu Qing found Xiao Wumei with a whole bag of candies, "Give all these candies to you."
"I knew you must have it." Xiao Wumei hurriedly took it as if she saw a treasure, "I heard that Dad said you and your master were leaving?"
Gu Qing said: "You will give all these candies, you must not forget them in the future. You must remember me! My name is Gu Qing."
"Yeah!" Xiao Wumei nodded solemnly, watching Gu Qing leave and jumping to his room, counting candies one by one clearly into the exquisite small clay pot, and then quietly hid it under the pillow on his bed.
After packing everything, Xiao Wumei happily came to Gu Qing's house and found that the person was no longer there and his luggage was no longer there. For some reason, she felt a very strange feeling in her heart. It was the first time she had such sadness since she was a child.
The master and apprentice walked out of Jingzhou City in dusk.
"Master, aren't you going to be with the warriors?" Gu Qing asked.
"I won't say goodbye." Sun Simiao walked in the wind, "It's better to walk like this."
After three years of walking, Gu Qing followed Sun Simiao to a small town by the East Sea. Ten miles outside the town was the sea connected by water and sky.
"Old man, in fact, the land under our feet is round." Gu Qing said to the sea.
Sun Simiao also nodded and said, "Actually, I have discovered it for a long time. I don't know where Xuanzang has walked all the way west."
"Master, you still know Xuanzang." Gu Qing suppressed.
"I don't know him." Sun Simiao recalled: "I just met Xuanzang when he left the Central Plains."
Sun Simiao looked at Hai. This child was very kind. Unfortunately, he had no talent for medical treatment and had no intention of studying medicine.
Forget it...sigh
Gu Qing looked at him and didn't know what Sun Simiao was thinking. He saw a broken boat parked on the coast while washing the sand. He was blocked by the cliffs by the sea. If he didn't look carefully, he wouldn't be able to see it.
I stepped on the beach with barefoot feet and climbed over the cliff to the surface of this boat. I watched the boat get dilapidated for a while and fell on the beach.
Gu Qing climbed onto the boat with difficulty. Unexpectedly, there were sea boats these days. When he stepped on the wooden deck, it would squeak and collapse at any time. When he walked into the cabin, Gu Qing was startled by the few bones. He looked like the ragged clothes, but they didn't look like people from Japan, but from West Asia.
I remember that the diplomacy of the Tang Dynasty was still very good. Although the Silk Road to West Asia was not good, sea boats were really rare. Where did this sea boat come from? This is Gu Qing’s biggest doubt. It is strange that this is not a sailboat without even a mast. Thinking about it, it has been studied since the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, it is concluded that this sea boat is definitely not from the Central Plains.
Walking out of the cabin, Gu Qing found an oil lamp in the bottom warehouse.
Blowing away the dust, Gu Qing observed the drawings, and the traces on the map were blurred. He looked at a sign drawn in the South China Sea, and then looked down at the animal skin drawing that was decayed and could not be identified at all. From the West? Gu Qing guessed what Westerners were doing in this era?
The text on the drawings is somewhat similar to Arabic words, not Western words.
Without considering it, Gu Qing was rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in this ship, knocking over a broken wooden box, Gu Qing's eyes lit up. Isn't this a potato, it turned out to be a potato!
Shouldn’t this thing be brought from South America by Colombia? Now this thing has flowed out? No matter whether it was a coincidence or some reason, Gu Qing hid the sprouted potato in his backpack. After rummaging for a long time, he flipped through the entire boat and did not find a second potato.
When I climbed out of the broken boat, I happened to see a fisherman. Gu Qing came forward and asked, and then I realized that the broken boat was floating with the ocean current. When the broken boat came, there was no living person, so it kept rotting here.
The enthusiastic fisherman gave Gu Qing two live sea crabs, which were as big as an adult's face. He smiled and took the crabs, Gu Qing returned to his master. The old man was observing some rotten kelp floating to the beach.
"Old man, we have crabs today." Gu Qing raised his hands and held a big crab in one hand.
The master and apprentice set up a simple grass reed by the beach, borrowed a pot from the nearby villagers, and started cooking crabs. Gu Qing then looked at a medical book with fire. The ancient characters were very awkward, and Gu Qing still doesn't recognize some words, "What is Master?"
Sun Simiao glanced at it and said, "This word is osmanthus, osmanthus of osmanthus."
"Oh." Gu Qing continued to look at medical books. The ancients' life was too boring in recent years and had to live by reading medical books. Whenever they walked through a place, Gu Qing would always buy a few medical books to read. However, people in the Tang Dynasty basically used bamboo slips, and paper was still exclusive to the nobles.
The sea breeze is very comfortable, which makes people feel sleepy unconsciously. After yawning, I looked back and saw that the old man was already lying down. I don’t know how old Sun Simiao is, and she is so old and has such a strong body. Is there any trick to maintain health?
"Let's go back to Chang'an tomorrow." Sun Simiao said while lying down and was not asleep.
Gu Qing sighed and it was a long way from the East China Sea to Chang'an. He opened his backpack and checked it and the three pistols were dismantled into parts and wrapped in hay and oil paper. He was well preserved. From here to Chang'an, he had to pass through many places. After wandering with his master over the years, Gu Qing had also experienced the power of those beasts.
When he killed a leopard with a pistol, Sun Simiao was so scared that he didn't recognize his apprentice anymore. He was very afraid of the pistol in Gu Qing's hand. Even the leopard was killed, let alone a human being.
Gu Qing has always explained that pistols are a very powerful hidden weapon.
Reassemble the pistol and start to use it for self-defense tomorrow after the bullet is installed. Looking at the stars all over the sky, Gu Qing said, "Old man, when I become rich in the future, I will build a large Taoist temple for you, and then capture a few masters and ruin it for you every day."
Bang!
A shabby straw sandal hit Gu Qing's back of his head very accurately.
As soon as the beggar-like master and apprentice bid farewell to the villagers on the beach. Gu Qing learned from his mistakes and bargained for a donkey cart with his stainless steel folding scissors. If there weren't two or three of these things in his backpack, he wouldn't have been willing to bear it.
Under the rising sun, the donkey dragged the master and disciple slowly on the road.
Enjoying the leisurely manner, Gu Qing waved his whip, "There are eighteen bends of the mountain road here, and the following nine chains of waterways here."
"Stupid brat, what are you talking nonsense!" Sun Simiao didn't give Gu Qing a good look, and then hummed the mountain tune on his own.
The old man hummed for a while, and Gu Qingyou sang again, "Sister, you sit on the bow of the boat..."
One big and one small, each hums their own songs along the way, which is very disharmonious and the style is very strange.
