Chapter 518 [Foreign Town]
As he got closer, Fang Chang frowned suddenly, but he didn't make a sound, but continued to walk forward.
"Where did the guest come from?"
The person in front was dressed in sackcloth and carried a wooden **** on his shoulder. After seeing Fang Chang and Miao Zhenyun, he asked heartily.
"We came from outside." Fang Chang took a look and replied, "Excuse me, sir, is there a road here?" After he and Miao Zhenyun came in, they kept walking forward, but the ground was barren In the wild, there are only various plants and earth and rocks, and there is nothing that can really be called a road.
"Roads? Naturally, there are roads. The surrounding area is so vast. Wherever you go, there are roads."
The person opposite put down the heavy wooden **** on his shoulders, leaned on the handle of the **** with both hands, looked at the two, and said unhurriedly:
"However, I advise you two to leave here as soon as possible. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Look at me, I have been here for a long time, and I can no longer find my way back. I can only build a house here and open a field to live in. .Here, let me show you a direction, go there, and you can get out."
As he spoke, he put the **** back on his shoulder and pointed in a certain direction.
Miao Zhenyun smiled and said: "Before we entered here, we met a young man who said he accidentally fell into this place, but luckily you were able to escape with your guidance."
The farmer in front of him froze for a moment: "Oh? Oh, you said that young man, there is such a thing. Not long ago, the boy was almost exhausted. At that time, I saw him spinning around, so I went up and told him way out, now that I know he's okay, I'm happy."
Fang Chang was curious about another thing: "Since you know the way out, why didn't you go back?"
The farmer shook his head and said sadly, "Oh, I can't go back."
Just as Miao Zhenyun was about to say something, Fang Chang took a step ahead and asked the farmer in front of him, "I wonder if you have lived here for a long time, can you see the residents here? We hope to meet them and ask some questions. If so If you know how to go, please show us the way."
"Well, of course I know." The farmer replied, "When I first came here, if they hadn't taught me how to farm here, I would have starved to death. It's the house I live in, and they gave me some materials. It was just built. From here to that direction, there is a market, where the people are the most, but they are not easy to talk to."
Fang Chang left some bacon as a gift, thanked Miao Zhenyun, and then walked towards the direction pointed by the farmer. The farmer behind put his **** on his shoulder and walked away on his own. Fang Chang and Miao Zhenyun's eyesight is not bad, and they can see a few scattered fields in the direction of the farmers in the distance, with unknown crops planted in them.
After walking a certain distance, Miao Zhenyun asked Fang Chang: "I don't know why Mr. Fang stopped me from asking?"
With his hands behind his back, Fang Chang sighed: "He is no longer human... I just took a closer look, and his figure is a little vain, not like a physical body, but like the soul of a person who has just passed away, but it is solid and solid. times."
Hearing this explanation, Miao Zhenyun was a little silent: "I see, there are indeed strange things in this world."
Fang Chang pointed to the front: "Let's continue to explore, maybe the answer is ahead, and the town is not far away."
The two raised their eyesight and looked ahead, and there were faint shadows of houses.
Walking forward for more than ten miles quickly, the houses and farmland are already very clear. Those houses are not neatly arranged, and the densest place should be the small town mentioned by the farmer. Around the town, all kinds of buildings, far and near, are scattered around like sesame seeds on a big cake, distributed among the farmland.
"It seems that there is no external threat here." Fang Chang laughed.
"Why do you say that?" Miao Zhenyun wondered.
"Looking at these settlements, they are scattered and there are no defensive facilities against the outside. It can be seen that there are neither military disasters nor wild beast threats here." Fang Chang explained carefully. This is what he has seen when he travels around the world. Villages and towns are relatively concentrated, the reason for this, and more importantly, the sense of security when they gather together.
But he stopped immediately, and Miao Zhenyun next to him also stopped. Fang Chang paused for a few breaths, and said:
"There seems to be the sound of water ahead."
"oh?"
The two looked forward together again, and finally found something wrong. In the fog ahead, one could see that the ground was different from other places.
"There seems to be a river there." Fang Chang said, and then they continued to move forward.
Because the river bank facing the two is higher, the river cannot be seen from here, so both of them ignored the river just now. Walking closer, I saw that this big river had been flowing here for an unknown number of years, and the ground was cut into deep ravines by the water flow. Looking down, the river bank was like a cliff, tens of feet away from the water surface, and the water in the river was turbulent. The sound of the waves bursts, the flying stars splash, and the goose feathers are hard to float. I don't know where they are rushing.
"What a big river." Fang Chang said, "There seems to be a bridge over there, let's go across the bridge."
Actually, for the two of them, it is not necessary to walk across the bridge, it is also possible to step on the water surface, and they can be lighter than a goose feather when necessary, but Fang Chang and Miao Zhenyun decided to take the normal road.
The bridge over the river is very simple, without railings, and without arches. There are only a few thick and solid giant logs inserted into the bottom of the water to become piers, and the top is covered with planks as the bridge deck. The bridge deck is tens of feet away from the water surface, even if the water swells, there is no danger of being hit by the current. Although slightly thin, the bridge is large and spectacular.
After walking up, I found that the wood that made up the bridge was made of unknown material, and it was very strong and strong, and my feet did not shake on it. And although the year when the bridge was built seems to have passed for a long time, there is no decay in the bridge piers.
"I don't know who built it." Fang Chang laughed. Hearing this question, Miao Zhenyun just shook her head, expressing that she couldn't imagine it. The two quickly passed the long wooden bridge on crutches, and walked towards the town ahead. Fang Chang thought for a while, and waved his hands twice, so that the two of them looked no different from the residents of this world.
In the farmland outside the town, the crops planted are the same as those in the farmer's field. They don't know each other. Although these crops are sparse, they grow fairly well and are well cared for.
Walking into the small town, I found that although it is not a prosperous place, it is not deserted. Some nearby people spontaneously set up a grass market here to exchange some supplies. The **** on the shoulder of the farmer who pointed the way was probably bought from here. If it weren't for the fact that the residents were not human, and ignoring the architectural style, it would have been an ordinary small town in the Central Plains.
