Chapter 4 Xiang Shaolong
After talking to Tao Fang, Tao Fang also mentioned that there was a market around here. Some Baiyi people who raise horses often came to this market to sell horses. They could go and have some food for the convoy, and invited him to go and have a look together later, and then arranged various things for the caravan.
Market, the white people...
Zuo Xiaoyou thought about something.
In this era, ordinary people did not have the habit of eating three meals a day. Most of them were two meals a day, so the time for two meals in the morning and evening was a little different from that in modern times. When it was dawn, everyone had already stood up, and the people in the convoy quickly removed the tent and loaded it onto a large cart.
These people were extremely skillful and fast. Soon, the convoy started to start again. No one had breakfast. Zuo Xiaoyou could only endure hunger and kissed me and me in the carriage with Fangfang.
After about half an hour, the forest became more and more sparse. After leaving the forest, some people could be seen vaguely around, and some wheat fields could be seen vaguely on both sides of the road.
However, the wheat fields here are sparse, and there is no regulations. The wheat in the fields is not dense, so the harvest is not very good.
The agricultural technology of this era is indeed terrible. When Zuo Xiaoyou thinks about the high-yield seeds in his backpack, he thinks something.
The more the convoy went forward, the easier the road was to go, and there were people around him, and there were many people on the road, picking or carrying their belongings to the market.
In ancient times, the productivity was not high and the financial industry could not be established. Ordinary transactions were usually bartered, and the place where barter was the market. Looking at the scene more than two thousand years ago, Zuo Xiaoyou only felt poor.
Although he only had one day, he began to miss modern food, buses, mobile phones, and computers. Although modern life is not rich, no matter how it is, it is much better than this era. If there is anything better than modern, it is just that women of this era are worthless. Men with some ability in everything are not short of beauties and wealth.
"I hope to arrive in Handan early and be a great noble and a landlord, and it is best... to help Zhao unify the six kingdoms." Zuo Xiaoyou's hometown belongs to Zhao in this period, and it is the easternmost part of Zhao. It borders Qi. It belongs to an endless plain and a place where military strategists must fight for. Fortunately, Zhao and Qi have a good relationship. Faced with the pressure of a strong Qin, the other six countries rarely fight, and are basically uniting to keep warm, and are always trying to find ways to unite to attack Qin.
As a Zhao native who has been authentic from ancient times to the present, Zuo Xiaoyou did not believe that the world must be unified by Qin. As long as it is well developed and the king is self-reliant, why can't Zhao replace the powerful Qin and unify the world?
When Zuo Xiaoyou was thinking deeply, the convoy stopped at a fork in the road. Today, they might stay here for a day. The convoy had to choose a good place to press the camp again. The place was densely populated and was not as good as the forest, so they quickly found the place. Everyone in the convoy began to build tents skillfully.
"Sir, let's go to the market together?" Tao Fang placed the convoy and personally brought a few guards to invite him.
"Fangfang, you are unable to move. Let's rest in the car today!" He spoke left, put on his backpack and walked out of the carriage. He saw Tao Fangwei, Dou Liang and Tao Fang's confidant Li Shan were all beside him.
With a greeting, everyone walked towards the market together.
It was noon, and the more pedestrians became more and more crowded, and it was very lively. I think it was because of the inconvenience of transportation in ancient times. Only in the market would people around the surrounding towns and even further away come to the market to buy the supplies they need. It was natural that there were too many people.
This scene reminded Zuo Xiaoyou of his childhood. His hometown was a small town and there were often markets in the surrounding villages. Because the roads in the countryside were narrow, the market was crowded. If someone drove over, the vehicle would probably be difficult to move and had to move out step by step. However, the market was very complete and very cheap and affordable. Zuo Xiaoyou liked to go to the market with his friends when he was a child. The current scene was really similar to the scene when he was a child.
It’s a pity that Tao Fang, Zuo Xiaoyou and his group were dressed very unusually, and there was a warrior with a sword next to him. After seeing this, the pedestrians automatically gave up a way, which made Zuo Xiaoyou less feel like his hometown.
This market doesn't look big, that is, a large village with a slightly concentrated population. Looking at the buildings in this village, most of them are brick houses made of earth as bricks, dried and then built with mud and water, and some are thatched huts built with tree poles and then covered with thatched huts. The best houses are made of stone, and large pieces of stone are built with mud and water. I think they are the best family in this area.
"Master Tao, look, the Baiyi people's horse trafficking tribe." Li Shan pointed to a group of people in the distance who were dressed completely different from most people. There was a large group of horses in the distance. Just looking at the horses, they were more than the horses pulled in the convoy. Even Tao Fang bought few horses that were more than that group of horses.
"Baiyi people?" Tao Fang was a little surprised when he saw those people: "I didn't expect the Baiyi people to be here."
Zuo Xiaoyou looked over there and found that this was a group of people who were dressed differently from ordinary people and had very fair skin.
White people!?
Zuo Xiaoyou was surprised. He didn't expect that in this era, he could actually see the white people and the white people... Could it be that they were named Bai Yi because they were fair-skinned and were also barbarians?
Zuo Xiaoyou thought about the history of ancient China. There were actually quite a few white people in China in this era.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the Xiongnu on the northern grasslands, the Xianbei that rose to prominence was a white race. In the book of Jin Daxia, there was a Gusu Murong Fu who gave him his own way, who was descended from the Xianbei. When the Five Barbarians invaded China, this nation still established a country in the Central Plains!
Siberia, which can often be heard in weather forecasts in later generations, is also called Xianbei.
Speaking of which, even the Qin Dynasty was not established in this era, of course, it was impossible for the Han people to call themselves. The Baiyi people basically belonged to the ethnic minorities of this era and had trade exchanges with the Central Plains. Of course, the Huns were very rampant during this period, and they often went south to burn, kill and loot, and formed a lot of hatred with the northern countries. This was the case with Zhao State and Qin State.
Thirty years later, Qin Shihuang unified China, but was still repeatedly harassed by the Huns. In order to prevent these grassland wolves, Qin Shihuang spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the Great Wall that was famous for more than two thousand years. But sadly, the Great Wall was obviously to resist the invasion of the Huns, but in later generations, it was boasted by some people as the backbone of the nation.
It's really funny. Is the backbone of the nation just defending but not attacking? Some people who know the inside story are very angry and even changed the words of Taizu and sarcastically said, "This sentence means that you are not a hero if you don't demolish the Great Wall."
It would be sad if China's backbone was just like this.
When he approached the Baiyi people's horses, Tao Fang used his ability to travel around the world to deal with the Baiyi people, and soon got together. Zuo Xiaoyou was not interested in this and looked around at these Baiyi people. He found that the Baiyi girl was very bold and frequently glared at him...
I think so, in the book Xun Qin, the Baiyi woman is very bold and unrestrained. When she sees an excellent gene carrier, she will follow her at night and then become a thief. The protagonist Xiang Shaolong was followed by the Baiyi girl.
For these barbarians who have no writing and culture, survival is the hard truth. What is etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame? How much does it cost per pound?
These white girls were all dressed in exposed clothes, revealing their white calves and pink arms, and even the soft breasts on their chests were exposed. The white eyes were so white that the local man kept looking at them, but no one dared to cause trouble.
As a minority, the Baiyi people are very united and extremely powerful. If outsiders dare to provoke them, they will definitely be stabbing a hornet's nest and only seeking death. These locals know that, so they dare not touch them.
But these girls frequently ogled Zuo Xiaoyou. Zuo Xiaoyou was really tall enough, strong enough, and pretty. The genes they carried were definitely of the best, and they completely met the standard of being sperm-collected. But after looking at Zuo Xiaoyou more in the crowd, he could never forget his appearance.
Zuo Xiaoyou was helpless. After he traveled through time, his body was not only strengthened, but his appearance changed. In reality, he only grew up with a sense of security. But after coming to this world, he found that he became a handsome guy incredibly, and he was even several years younger than his original age. He once made him wonder if he was a soul-piercing man?
But his clothes, packages and other items were all owned by him in reality. He put a sentence on Xiao Yueyue's words: "My God! It's so amazing."
"Fight, fight." At this moment, the market was in chaos. Zuo Xiaoyou raised his eyes and saw a large group of pedestrians hiding away on the mud road in the distance, making the space come out, and surrounding the scene into a large circle. Inside the circle, a short man with a very tall figure and strong body protected a petite young woman behind her, and pointed a hatchet in his hand at more than twenty people opposite him.
One person was against more than twenty people, but the man was still fearless, as if he had the upper hand. At this moment, two weapons, like long swords, slashed at him from both sides. The crowd watching next to him shouted softly, as if sighing for the strong man.
I saw the strong man wielding a hatchet and swaying a sword with his left hand, and his left hand flicked into one of the people's face. His movements continued, and his body swung, and he kicked the other person's vagina like lightning.
In an instant, one of the two people flew on the ground with nosebleeds, while the other person covered his crotch and kept rolling on the ground, making the crotch feel chilly in his crotch.
Seeing the strong man retreating to a beautiful village woman, a light flashed in Zuo Xiaoyou's eyes: Xiang Shaolong, you have indeed met you!
Xiang Shaolong retreated to Mei Si Niangniang's place, pointed at the hatchet, and posed for fighting, shouting to everyone with a startled face: "Come on!"
Everyone was eager to try, but no one dared to take the lead in snatching. They had never thought about such agile and ruthless way of playing.
Xiang Shaolong laughed loudly, rushed out like a tiger, and slashed the hatchet, fighting against the more than 20 people.
He moved quickly, teaching the enemy not to form a siege. In a moment, they were all over the ground, either hitting his iron box or hitting his knees.
The masses couldn't help but cheer him up, as they seemed to have had enough of the anger of these hooligans on weekdays.
When Xiang Shaolong became the final winner, he checked out the most decent iron sword and tied it around his waist.
"What a warrior!" Tao Fang couldn't help but exclaim, obviously he was attracted to the recruitment.
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "Brother Tao, why not go over and take a look."
"Haha, Mr. Zuo knows my intentions." Tao Fang immediately took a big step and walked towards Xiang Shaolong with Zuo Xiaoyou.
At this time, the masses had already rushed over, picked up sticks or hoes and greeted the evil men lying on the ground. It seemed that no one could survived under public outrage.
Mei Cannibal rushed out, hugged him firmly, and cheered: "God! You are so brave! I will no longer be afraid of evil people."
Xiang Shaolong laughed and hugged her and was about to leave. At this moment, Tao Fang shouted: "Step, hero, please stay."
Xiang Shaolong hugged Mei Cannibal and turned around. Seeing Tao Fang and Zuo Xiaoyou walking towards him, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"This man..."
"Brother, you are from Modern Times too! Where is your time machine? Hurry! Take me back! I'm so fed up with this ghost place. I want to go home to take a shower, have a cup of coffee, and then find a woman to be romantic all night."
Xiang Shaolong ignored Tao Fang with a smile on his face, but instead rushed to Zuo Xiaoyou, gave him a big hug, and then told him about the various hardships of this era, asking Zuo Xiaoyou to take him out of this ghost place immediately.
Tao Fang: "..."
"..." Zuo Xiaoyou coughed dryly and said, "Can this brother also be the descendant of the Shang Dynasty who returned to China from the Great Sixth American Society?"
"What?" Xiang Shaolong was confused. Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou secretly wink at him, he nodded in understanding: "That's right, I'm the descendant of the Shang Dynasty from America. Brother, I'm waiting for you! Take your brother back!"
"I don't know the eldest brother's surname and name?" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled.
"What's your name? My name is Xiang Shaolong, brother, where are you?"
"Zuo Xiaoyou." Zuo Xiaoyou and Xiang Shaolong used modern Mandarin, which made Tao Fang, Meicanniang and others confused. Zuo Xiaoyou gave Xiang Shaolong a wink and said, "Since you and I are from the same place, we should form a united front. I don't have the conditions to go back at the moment, and some things need to be discussed for a long time. Yesterday I met this horse team and was planning to go to Handan with them. Do you want to go with me?"
