Chapter 2: I secretly enjoyed the Spring and Autumn Period ()

The small village that usually exchanges prey with us is at most a larger hunter village.

The experience that I remembered happened at a hillside. At that time, a middle-aged man was kneeling in front of a grave, beating his chest, stamping his feet, and crying. In our queue, a large savage led the way, while the little savage jumped behind me, and I walked down the ridge. When I saw this person, I stopped and looked at the other person curiously.

This is the first ancient man I have met to "wear a complete outfit".

The other party was wearing a very simple dress: a robe that was connected to the top and bottom, a high crown and hat. The fabric looked strange and seemed to be not woven from cotton cloth. The whole dress was not decorated or buttoned, but just wrapped around the waist with a cloth bag... Well, a friend of mine once liked "Hanfu". According to him, this kind of dress was called "Hanfu". It is a traditional Han nationality clothing. It was first formed in the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period. Since this kind of clothes were connected to the top and bottom clothes, it was called "deep". And because its bottom was a skirt, it was also called "skirt" - its full name was "deep clothes and mattress skirt".

…Well, in modern times, it has been called "kimono". Well, that is, this person dresses like a "traitor".

The tomb in front of this man seemed to have been built, with new soil on it. At that time, the man was crying in the dark.

The reason I stopped because the person was dressed neatly, which was the best dressed person I have ever seen since time traveling. Usually, I saw savages and hunters. In order to keep warm, most of them were wrapped in animal skins. For the sake of convenience, their clothes were separated from each other, which also shows that no matter which era, the savage's clothing did not change much, and they were very close to modern clothing.

After many days of study, I have learned the monosyllable language used by the savages. At this moment, standing in front of the new grave, I changed to the savages' language and greeted the other party carefully. The meaning was roughly: "Sir, please feel sorry for me... Well, by the way, what is this place?"

The other party looked up and observed me with tears in his eyes. After a long time, the other party's face suddenly changed and he blurted out and asked - he used the language of a savage, which translated into modern words, meaning: "Who are you? Where are you from?"

In the other party's inquiry, "You" seemed to be a respectful term. At that time, I didn't know the language of the savage. After a long time, I realized that the other party's original words were "Where did the young master come from?". The word "Young Master" was not something that anyone could use at that time.

It was too troublesome to translate the savage language into modern language. I tried to use the savage language and modern thinking to communicate with that person: "I've come across 100,000 mountains, but I haven't figured out where I am. What is this place?... Which country does this belong to? Which dynasty?"

The other party did not answer my words, but instead asked a question: "What? Which country are you from?"

I looked down at myself, and then at the other party: Yes, yes, yellow skin, dark hair, dark eyes... Can't the other party tell that we are also Chinese?

I asked the other party angrily: "Which country are you from?"

Unexpectedly, the other party actually gave me an answer that shocked me: "I am from Jin, and this is Zhaocheng, Jin...nearby."

Zhaocheng, Jin State?!

The other party's answer made me think about it for a long time, and I was puzzled and asked again: "May I ask your name?"

I asked this sentence in the language of the savage. Which language has a clumsy vocabulary, but it roughly means that.

The other party was very polite and bowed his hand and replied: "My son is named Cheng Ying."

I held my heart beating wildly and asked again: "What year is this?"

The other party replied: "A certain year after Duke Jing!"

Seeing that I was still stunned, the other party immediately said a few more years, which were nothing more than the kings of Lu and the kings of Qi. Finally, the other party's words made me understand completely: "A certain year of King Jian of Zhou..."

I opened my mouth wide and stared at the other person with a glare. Yes, I should have thought of the Bronze Age long ago; Yes, the clothes on the other person were not made of cloth, but a kind of erectile syllable characters; the other person issued all the monosyllable characters, and this language is so primitive, and there are... How could it not be the Spring and Autumn Period now?

I looked up at the sky and felt the air around me. It was the turn of spring and summer. Because it was a mountainous area, the weather was not hot, the air was very humid, and even a little cold. But the other party was wearing a thorny dress and had no shiny expression at all. It was really cold-resistant!

Well, this actually does not mean that the person on the other side has a strong and perverted body. Although in this era, the ancients who had just passed the Ice Age were indeed more resistant to freezing than modern people, the bigger reason was that ancient times were much warmer than modern times. It is said that the earth's climate began to cool down from the Song Dynasty. Since the Song Dynasty, the four seasons of the earth have become distinct, and the lotus roots, plum trees, and bamboo that Mr. Yuan grew up in the north began to develop to the south.

In this era, most Westerners wear even simpler than Chinese. For example, in the Mediterranean, many people only have a piece of cloth around them, while the Spartans seem to have no idea of ​​the term "clothing". They are just a group of men who "wear big shorts"...

The other party's replies echoed in my ears. It took me a long time to realize that Cheng Ying, who was crying in the grave, was still asking me a question repeatedly: "Have you come out of the mountain and have you seen anyone else?"

I nodded and subconsciously said in modern words: "It turned out to be the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin State, and a certain year after the King of Jing. What does it mean? People in the Spring and Autumn Period are not easy to get along with... Oh my God, how can I survive?"

What era was the Spring and Autumn Period? The "On the Qin Dynasty" said that this was "thirty-six kings, fifty-two kings were destroyed, and the princes were unable to protect the country."

Some people also say that this is the most brilliant era. More than half of the idioms of Chinese civilization come from this era. In the following thousands of years, Chinese culture has just repeated the discussions of several great thinkers in the Spring and Autumn Period.

This is an era in which Confucius, Laozi, Mozi and Guanzi survive.

Well? Confucius, Mozi, have I been born now? This is a problem.

I tried hard to recall the vague knowledge of the times: Well, at this time, Archimedes should have established a physics system, perhaps for hundreds of years. Then, the mechanics, optics and other content learned in junior high school physics textbooks should be improved.

Ah, the philosophical system established by Plato should also be perfected. The economics established by Plato's disciple Xenophon and the logic based on Greek eloquence have also been completed... Also, the concept of trigonometric functions and calculus were born. And chemistry, its system had appeared a thousand years ago, but the official name would have to wait until the birth of Alexander the Great to be determined...

I desperately recalled some memories of the Spring and Autumn Period in my mind, but I couldn't remember the specific era of those big events. Perhaps, what I just remembered was not accurate... At that time, as Zhao Wu, I didn't know how ridiculous the historical knowledge I remembered was. This era was far more primitive than I thought - the Greek historical figures I remembered, their grandfather had not been born yet.

At this moment, I heard the other party ask back: "Which country did the young master live in?"

Suddenly, I figured it out - this is the Spring and Autumn Period, this is an era when communication is basically yelling and transportation is basically leap. In this era, information exchange is basically leveraging and personal experience. Things that the ears have not heard may not know whether it happens or ends in his life. The historical books say "Thirty-six regicides, fifty-two regicides" means that this is an era of small countries; it also means that the language and writing were very chaotic at that time.

Ah, in this way, this is the best time traveler to hide. Due to poor information exchange, people living in this era cannot understand how people five miles away live. Therefore, no matter how weird a person dresses, no matter how weird the language he speaks, it will not arouse others' suspicion - because they do not know what the outside world looks like.

What is time traveling? I remember that the content of time traveling was discussed on the forum. A water-filled man once talked about the deeds of the Gongshu Class "suspected time traveler" - this Gongshu Class is Lu Ban, and was once known as the "founder of carpenters". He made a flying bird in the Spring and Autumn Period. After his father rode the wooden bird, he flew from Lu to Wu.

If this account is true, then Gongshuban created a wooden glider that can fly thousands of miles in the Spring and Autumn Period, which relied on human power to fly. He may be a typical time traveler... Next, his father's experience reflected the situation that most time travelers might encounter - Gongshuban's father, who came down from a wooden bird, was burned to death by the local people as a "demon".

Countless time travelers traveled to ancient times one after another. Because they seemed incompatible with the ancient people, most of them were burned on the spot by the ancients as firewood. The only ones who survived were those wilted time travelers who sneaked into the crowd quietly like Japanese men entering the village, mingled among the masses without notice, and tried their best to integrate with this era and survived by chance...

Therefore, the first element of time travel is: Don’t let yourself be different from the ancients.

Unlike the time travelers of the ancients, they are the firewood of the ancients.

Thinking of this, I bowed my hands calmly, tried to imitate the posture of the ancients, and replied: "I'm lucky to know. I walked through the entire mountain. I don't know how long I have been in the mountain. So I want to ask you, but I didn't expect that the years and months you mentioned were not the year and months we used to describe them. I couldn't calculate the exact years I spent in the mountain."

Of course, these words were spoken in ancient languages, but this is what they mean when translated into modern languages. The languages ​​in the Spring and Autumn Period were all monosyllable characters, which were very simple and difficult to understand. In order not to be disconnected from modern times, I try to express the ancient language in modern meanings.

The other party bowed and continued to ask: "The 'Young Master' had read a book before?... Looking at the 'Young Master', it seems like he had read a book."

Not only have I studied, I have been studying for more than ten years and am about to graduate from college.

When I heard the other person's words, I nodded.

The other party bowed again: "Young Master came to our place for the first time and his language is not clear. Why not help you? I will teach you the language and our writing so that you can live in peace... It's just that I have a little thing, and I also need your husband to help me. I wonder if you are willing to help?"

When the other party mentioned the text, I remembered that after Qin Shihuang unified China, there was another achievement: the same writing. Before Qin Shihuang unified the text, even the texts in various countries were different in the Central Plains. As for the language... modern local dialects came from the languages ​​of various small countries at that time. People at that time said "the sounds of ten miles were different."

In other words: at this time, although everyone is Chinese, the words and languages ​​between countries are completely different.

I immediately nodded to the other party: "Thank you, I don't know how long I have been in the mountains. The language and writing may be slightly different from yours. I helped this very timely - no problem, please help me, I will help you too, absolutely no problem."

Cheng Ying nodded, pointed to the new tomb in front of him, and explained: "Since the young master is a 'public clan', he should understand the difficulties of being a servant... To be honest, the one who buried the grave is my 'priest'. My clan just went through an accident. The only blood left by the lord left by the first lord is now lying in this grave. I have worked hard for many years and now I have nothing left.

I can't live without the Lord. Without the Lord, we all have to disperse! But the world is so big, where can we go? We have nowhere to go, so... I just saw your appearance and accidentally found that your appearance is very similar to our young master. Ah, even if you are the same age, your size is slightly different...

I beg you to pretend to be our Lord for a while, because there is a big event recently, and our Lord must come forward. When the young master finishes this big event, I will have time to rush... Afterwards, I will thank you very much."

I was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not harmful to me.

Although I can't understand the other party's slavery of crying and shouting to find the master, I still think I should help - to be convenient for others and to be convenient for myself. Moreover, the person in front of me was obviously a noble butler from the Spring and Autumn Period. With the other party's care, finding a safe place to hide quietly in the future is also a strategy.

After thinking for a moment, I asked tentatively: "You said that there was a big thing that your Lord needed to come forward recently. Can I hear what it is?"

In fact, the conversation between me and Cheng Ying was not smooth. The two savages who came out with me came forward from time to time to help translate, but these details were obviously not the main ones, so I would ignore them.

Cheng Ying looked at the new tomb in front of him and replied: "Crown ceremony - Our Lord will hold a crown ceremony soon. After the crown ceremony, we will meet the ministers and the emperor. Only after this crown ceremony can the emperor and the emperor recognize the re-establishment of the Zhao clan. When our Zhao clan is re-established, we diners who are born with Zhao clan can continue to survive.

So I ask you to help you. Please dress up as the child in the grave and meet our Lord and the Lord... Now that time is tight, I can no longer find a second replacement. If you can help me this time, we will have time to slowly find someone who can replace you. I promise that once this person is found, we will definitely give you a heavy thanks, and you can travel at will."

Well, this person asked me to impersonate him. This is a good thing. I was just about to replace a person with a name and a surname to survive in this era.

But why did the other party repeatedly emphasize: I will definitely find someone else to replace him afterwards?

Judging from the other party's efforts to confess, it seemed that I would not agree if the conditions followed were not mentioned.

The fool refused to agree. I thought about it for a long time and immediately agreed readily: "This little busy is nothing. It's a simple task. If you have any requirements, please just say it."

The other party was overjoyed and immediately stood up from the grave. After thanking him again and again, he replied: "Please go to my other courtyard first. I need to teach you our language and some corresponding etiquette. Time is very tight, and it only takes about two or three months. After you get familiar with these, you will go to see the Lord. After you meet the Lord, you will stay in the fiefdom for a while. I will look for similar people to replace you, and then we will change our identities quietly, and we will definitely not know it."

He said "stay in the fiefdom"? - Have a fiefdom?!

It turned out to be a great nobleman.

The great nobles with fiefs are very beautiful.

There are aristocrats who teach language, words and etiquette, so they can survive in this world seamlessly.

I thought about it, pointed to the new tomb in front of me, and asked, "What is your Lord's name?"

"Wu - Zhao Wu!" Cheng Ying answered happily, and while answering, he stared at me vigilantly and observed my reaction.

Wu, Zhao Wu! Jin, Cheng Ying... All of this is connected, and suddenly a word popped up in my mind: the orphan of Zhao.

It turns out that the scene in front of you is the content of the famous Peking Opera "Orphan of Zhao".

Well, what is the detailed content of "Orphan of Zhao"? Is "Orphan of Zhao" circulating oral is a real history? Unfortunately, I only remember the roughly those who came out of Beijing...
