6. Chapter 6
The speed of the wooden boat docking was very fast, but when everyone ran over and waited for a while, they were disappointed to find that the wooden boat did not seem to plan to rest at the dock in Shiqiao Town at all. After the boat docked, a person got off the boat. , then turned around and left.
The man who got off the boat was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a very handsome face and eyes.
The figure doesn't look very strong, but the connoisseurs can tell from the footsteps of the other party that the man is definitely a trainer, with a tall and straight figure, very strong, dressed in ordinary clothes, carrying a strange black backpack, and staring curiously after getting off the boat. Looking around, it looks like a traveler who has traveled to various countries.
After seeing the man clearly, everyone was finally completely disappointed.
If it is the kind of people who dress better and are accompanied by bodyguards, they will definitely embrace them immediately, because most of those people are young masters from rich families. Go to help with luggage and lead the way. If you are lucky, you can also Get a lot of rewards.
But letβs just forget about the man at the moment. Although the clothes on his body are made of cotton fabrics, they look outdated. tongue.
Therefore, all the coolies on the pier turned around and scattered back, only Lin Laogen behind them ran up.
"Does this son want to hire a porter? Or is he looking for someone to lead the way? I was born and raised here since I was a child, and I can take you wherever the son wants to go."
Lin Laogen asked with a smile on his face. Anyway, a lame man always earns less money than others to work as a coolie. Now he is also idle. If he has business, he can make some money. He doesn't choose.
"Grow up here since I was a child? You should be very familiar with this place? Well, uncle, take me to a place to eat and rest first, and I will ask you something..."
Wu Qingyuan, who was about to find someone to inquire about the situation, nodded readily when he heard what Lin Laogen said.
That's right, the man who just got off the boat is Wu Qingyuan.
After entering the crossing magnetic field, he did not encounter death in the magnetic field that he was worried about, but crossed into this world smoothly.
But the only unfortunate thing is that his foothold was not good, and he fell directly into a huge canal out of thin air. Fortunately, he could swim, and he happened to meet a passing merchant ship, and he was saved.
But it is precisely because of this that he solved the problem of his origin very well, and made up a story about traveling in other countries. Halfway through the team, the boat encountered the victims of the big waves. In addition, there were no ferocious pirates and robbers nearby. The security of the canal is very good. Well, the people on the merchant ship had no doubts about him at all, and they were quite sympathetic to him.
After getting on the ship, with years of experience in the society, he quickly became acquainted with the people on the ship, and taught them a little bit of modern common advanced sailing common sense, and suddenly changed from being familiar with the caravan leader to being a caravan leader. to make friends.
Later, I learned from the caravan's population about the location of his crossing. It has to be said that he has been transported since his rebirth. The caravan's ship turned out to be bound for Xia, and on the way, he had to pass the stone bridge mentioned by Zhou Laotou. Town, he can take the caravan's boat to reach the destination by the way.
Yes, his purpose is Shiqiao Town. This world is too unfamiliar to him, and he doesn't know where to go. It is better to go to Shiqiao Town, which Old Man Zhou said.
Now that he has promised Old Man Zhou to come here to see if his old brother is still alive and help inform his relatives about the safety of his family, he has to do it, settle down by the way, and travel through the world. life.
So he followed the caravan on the boat for half a month, and he finally saw Shiqiao Town, which Old Man Zhou said.
Although the town looks small and the pier is quite broken, the bustling pedestrian coolies and the shouting of the pier vendors made him very interested. The peaceful world really makes the people of the end of the world yearn for it!
After getting his nod, Lin Laogen hung a sweat scarf on his shoulders and led him to a simple roadside noodle stand near the dock.
"Young Master, don't look at this place is simple, the Yangchun noodles of Lao Shuan's family are very famous in our Shiqiao Town..."
Looking at Wu Qingyuan's clothes, although Lin Laogen called him a son, he could actually see that he was not a rich son, so he didn't take him to a too high-end restaurant.
This behavior and behavior was honest, Wu Qingyuan was very satisfied, and immediately ordered two bowls of Yangchun noodles. When the noodles came up, he pushed one of them in front of Lin Laogen, and then began to chat.
"Uncle, sit down and let's eat together, don't call me son, I'm just a rough guy, my surname is Wu, what do you call uncle?"
Lin Laogen was a little surprised to see the noodles he pushed in front of him. Obviously, he didn't expect Wu Qingyuan to invite him to eat noodles. Although this noodles is not particularly expensive, it costs ten cents for a bowl. He has not seen any of them. Employers invite coolies to eat, even rich gentlemen will not do so.
However, although I was a little surprised, I saw the fragrant white noodles in front of me and thought of the two babies at home. I swallowed my saliva and didn't refuse. I took out a bamboo tube from my waist and carefully put the noodles in it. I was embarrassed. Hehe smiled and looked at Wu Qingyuan.
"I'm not hungry now. I'll take it home and eat it again. My name is Lin Laogen. What little brother wants to ask, as long as I know, I'll tell you."
Lin Laogen said several times in a row, with a strong rural simplicity, Wu Qingyuan smiled and didn't care about his behavior of putting noodles.
When he was on the boat, he inquired about a lot of things in this world, and the old man Zhou also told him something. This is an ancient times with backward productivity, and the living standard is generally low. eat.
Ignoring the bamboo tube with noodles in Lin Laogen's hand, Wu Qingyuan picked up his chopsticks and began to inquire about the situation while eating.
When he was on the boat, he had already made a plan. He was not familiar with the place where he lived, and he had to settle down. However, he still asked about Old Man Zhou's younger brother, "Zhou Fuxi".
"We have a lot of people with the surname Zhou, but I have never heard of the name Zhou Fuxi. Do you have a portrait? Brother, do you have any other information? I'll think about it..."
After listening to Wu Qingyuan's brief description, Lin Laogen didn't answer for the time being. There are many people with the same name and surname in the world. It's really hard to find just by one name.
"Without a portrait, I knew his name was Zhou Fuxi, and he was about...about sixty or seventy years old...by the way, he has a birthmark on his body, a red birthmark in the shape of ingots."
Wu Qingyuan also knew that this matter was not easy. The old man Zhou did not provide much information, even if he had a portrait, it was useless.
According to Old Man Zhou's description, when he separated from his younger brother, his younger brother was only five years old. Now Old Man Zhou is in his eighties. His younger brother is a dozen years younger than him. After all, he should be in his sixties now. It has changed a long time ago, and the only thing that can be confirmed is that the old man Zhou said that his brother had a special-shaped birthmark.
"Sixty or seventy years old?!"
Hearing Wu Qingyuan describe his age, Lin Laogen's mouth widened.
In this ancient world, everything was very backward, and the food production was very low. Although people would not starve to death, most people were only living in food and clothing. Coupled with the backwardness of various medical treatments, diseases could not be cured, and the average life expectancy of human beings was not high. Living to the age of 60 is considered a long life, and those who are 70 years old are even rarer here.
"Yes, it's about this age. I don't know if the uncle has an impression. I can't find Zhou Fuxi. It's okay to have news of his descendants."
Wu Qingyuan didn't hold out much hope that Zhou Fuxi was still alive, but he could find someone related to the other party.
After speaking, as if thinking of something, he added, "By the way, Zhou Fuxi is a little brother..."
This was another important clue provided by Old Man Zhou. He didn't understand much when he heard Old Man Zhou say the word "little brother" at the time. Later, when Old Man Zhou explained it, he learned a lot.
This world is an empty ancient world. Most civilizations are similar to ancient times in history, but the only difference is that there are three kinds of people in this world, namely men, women and little brothers.
Men and women understand very well, as for the little brother, it is beyond his imagination, because this is a man whose external body structure is no different from that of a man, but can have children, except for the red mole on the forehead, which is all the men here. With short hair, the little brother has long hair, which is easy to see.
Although it was very incredible, it still didn't stop him from wanting to cross over. He had already experienced the rebirth of the apocalypse and it was not so surprising for a man to have a child.
What's more, he is a GAY himself, this world is a paradise for him, it not only satisfies his own orientation, but also solves the regret of no male and female, it is the best of both worlds!
"I don't know about birthmarks, but there are really a few people of the same age and gender near Shiqiao Town, but their names are not Zhou Fuxi..."
With the name, age, gender and birthmark, it is basically easy to determine the candidate. Lin Laogen searched through the information in his mind before answering seriously.
It doesn't matter if the name doesn't match, Zhou Fuxi was so young at the beginning, maybe he was taken in and changed his name. If the age and gender match, just look at whether there is a birthmark to be sure.
After thinking about it in his heart, Wu Qingyuan suddenly noticed, and quickly took half a string of copper coins from his arms and put them in front of Lin Laogen.
"It doesn't matter, you can look for them one by one. Why don't you do this, uncle, please help me to inquire first. This is a little thought. If you can find someone, I will give you some travel expenses. What do you think, uncle?"
"Okay, I'll ask you when I go back!"
No one would refuse to earn money, and Lin Laogen hurriedly nodded in agreement.
