While waiting, Wu Dongfang took the opportunity to take a closer look at the house in front of him. It was a large dome wooden house. Plants that might be herbal medicine and some animal bones were hung under the eaves. The smell of herbal medicine came from the house, and through It is not difficult to see from this that the owner of the house is likely to know medical skills.

The two didn't wait too long. After a few minutes, the door was pushed open, and a woman wearing a mask came out, followed by the middle-aged man without arms.

This woman was wearing a gray-white robe, and in her right hand she held a copper rod as thick as her thumb. On the top of the copper rod was a shrunken bull's head, which was only one-tenth the size of a real bull's head, but it was perfectly crafted. The mask on his face extends slightly beyond the outline of his face, with exaggerated facial makeup painted on it with red dye.

The moment he saw this person, Wu Dongfang almost laughed out loud. The other person's dress reminded him of an American Indian, only with a few chicken feathers stuck in his head. Also, although the other party covered her face, her clothes were opened very low, and half of her breasts were exposed. She also had a tattoo between her breasts, but her tattoo was not a small sword, but a very abstract tiger. .

"Nothing that should be exposed is exposed, and everything that should not be exposed is exposed." Wu Dongfang thought to himself.

When the woman saw the other person coming out, she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the masked woman.

The masked woman kept her eyes on Wu Dongfang after she went out. She didn't look at him carefully until she turned around and said something to the woman kneeling beside him. The latter stood up and began to talk for a long time without asking. It can be seen that the story is about the detailed experience of meeting him.

The narration lasted for five or six minutes. The masked woman did not interrupt, and her eyes did not show much expression. She waited until the woman finished speaking before asking another question.

The woman turned to look at Wu Dongfang, pointed at herself and said "Ming Wan", and then pointed at Wu Dongfang.

"Wu Dongfang." Wu Dongfang pointed at himself. After knowing her for more than half a month, he finally knew this woman's name.

The masked woman then said something to Mingwan. The latter looked embarrassed after hearing this. He hesitated for a moment and squatted down. He picked up a branch and drew a square on the ground. There were small circles on each side of the square. After drawing, He raised his hand and pointed at himself, then pointed to the small circle on the west side of the square with the branch.

Wu Dongfang naturally understood what Mingwan meant. The first thing the masked woman asked was his name. This time she asked where he was from. However, this question was very complicated. Not to mention the language barrier, he was very fluent in the language. He couldn't explain Einstein's theory of relativity to these ancient people.

Mingwan saw Wu Dongfang frowning and saying nothing, pointing the branch in his hand at the small circle on the south side of the square. Wu Dongfang shook his head. She pointed to Xiao Yuan on the east side again, Wu Dongfang still shook his head.

Mingwan then pointed to the north and the center, Wu Dongfang still shook his head.

Seeing that the other party was confused, Wu Dongfang raised his finger and pointed at himself, then raised his finger to the sky, and finally made a gesture of falling from the sky.

The other party was confused to begin with, and now he was even more confused. They looked at each other in confusion.

After a brief silence, Mingwan seemed to have remembered something and quickly spoke to the masked woman. After hearing this, the latter's eyes showed doubts, and she was stunned for a few seconds and turned around to the east side of the room. From there, A king cobra was taken out of a pottery urn.

Wu Dongfang didn't know what the other party wanted to do at first, but it wasn't until Mingwan rolled up his sleeves that he came to his senses. He said that he had fallen from the sky, and Mingwan had seen him eating snake meat and not dying, so she regarded him as a god. The woman in the mask caught the snake to determine whether he was a god or not.

"No, no, this is no joke." Wu Dongfang shook Mingwan away.

The armless middle-aged man looked angry when he saw this, and said something loudly to Wu Dongfang.

"My arms are gone, and I'm still yelling like shit." Wu Dongfang said with a smile on his face, but the other party couldn't understand Mandarin anyway.

The other party didn't know what Wu Dongfang was talking about. Seeing him smiling, he thought he was giving in, so he snorted and didn't push him again.

Seeing that Wu Dongfang refused to be bitten by the snake, Mingwan said something to him eagerly. Wu Dongfang waved his hands repeatedly, and in the end simply tilted his head and ignored her.

The masked woman put the king cobra back into the pottery urn, returned to the eaves and said something coldly.

Mingwan gestured at Wu Dongfang again, gesturing for him to take off his clothes.

Wu Dongfang knew that the other party wanted to see if he had any tattoos, so he unzipped his camouflage clothes, dug out his body armor, and lifted up the vest underneath.

Seeing that Wu Dongfang didn't have a tattoo, the masked woman became even more confused. Then she said something else. Mingwan responded and came over to sign again, meaning to ask him to take off his shirt completely.

"Take me as a beggar, right?" Wu Dongfang got annoyed, zipped up his shirt and turned around to leave.

The armless man quickly stepped forward and blocked his way.

"Believe it or not, I took off your legs?" Wu Dongfang pointed at the opponent's legs with murderous intent on his face. The Cheetahs are the number one special forces unit in the country. What are special forces? They are more ferocious killing machines than the conventional forces, a national machine. If you don't have a ferocious and aggressive nature deep down in your heart, you won't be able to deal with those extremely vicious criminals.

The armless man couldn't understand his words but could hear his tone. Plus Wu Dongfang pointed at his leg, he could better guess what Wu Dongfang said. As soon as Wu Dongfang finished speaking, his right leg was already lifted up quickly. He got up and kicked Wu Dongfang directly on the left side of his neck.

At this moment, the masked woman shouted eagerly to stop the armless man.

The armless man's right foot was only three or four centimeters away from the left side of Wu Dongfang's neck. After being stopped, he successfully retracted his right leg, obviously very proud of his freedom of movement. But when his right leg was halfway retracted, the proud look on his face disappeared, because he found that a strange-style short knife had reached his crotch.

Wu Dongfang retracted his dagger and walked around the armless man, limping towards the end of the village. When he was a child, his self-esteem was much higher than that of his peers. If he went to play at any house, if the other party showed any sign of being unwelcome, he would leave immediately and would never visit again.

Mingwan tried to persuade the masked woman, but she remained silent.

After leaving the village, Wu Dongfang walked back along the way he came. He regretted it as he walked. It wasn't that he couldn't survive, so why did he come and humiliate himself

However, the regret in her heart was quickly replaced by inference and thinking. Mingwan had previously drawn a square on the ground, surrounded by four circles, to represent the regional distribution of the five existing races. Mingwan and the others were The race of the West. In traditional Chinese culture, the West is gold, and the mythical beast of the West is the white tiger. The tattoo on the chest of the armless man is a small sword, indicating that he is a member of the Jin tribe. The woman wearing the mask has a tiger tattooed on her chest, which probably means that she is a cleric of the Jin tribe.

The three men he killed earlier can provide evidence for this inference. All three of them have flame-shaped tattoos on their bodies, which shows that they are members of the Fire Tribe, and the south belongs to fire among the five elements. Also consistent with their area.

If the inference is correct, the current five races of the Jin tribe are located in the west. Adult males have metal tattoos and clergy have white tiger tattoos.

The Wood tribe should live in the East. Adult men have Wood tattoos and clergymen have Green Dragon tattoos.

The water tribe is in the north. Adult men have water tattoos, and the tattoos of clergy should be Xuanwu.

The Fire Tribe is in the south, and adult men have fire genus tattoos, and clergy are likely to have red bird tattoos.

The Tu people are in the middle area. It is not yet clear whether they have tattoos, because they occupy the Central Plains area, have the highest level of civilization, the largest territory, and the largest number of people. They are the masters of the world at this time, and the four tribes of metal, wood, water, and fire are equivalent to the modern The ethnic minorities are located in remote areas and their numbers are not large.

Having established this point, it is very simple to infer what dynasty we are in now. The prehistoric period must have passed, because during the prehistoric period human settlements were very scattered, and there was no such clear racial distribution. The Shang and Zhou dynasties must not have arrived yet. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the state system was already very complete, and a large number of vassal states appeared. It was not the current Five Elements pattern.

As a result, only the Xia Dynasty was left. When Yu the Great settled Kyushu, it was only the area in the hinterland of the Central Plains. No one knows what the situation is like in other places outside the hinterland of the Central Plains. The current racial distribution is the most may occur during this period.

Determining the approximate era in which he lived not only did not make Wu Dongfang suddenly enlightened, but instead made him depressed. The Xia Dynasty was more than four thousand years ago from modern times. Not to mention people, not even the bastard could live for four thousand years.

After walking two or three miles, Ming Wan caught up with her from behind. The look of frustration on her face showed that the other party had not agreed to her request.

Wu Dongfang walked in front, and she followed behind, all the way to the top of the mountain.

"Go back, your child is still waiting for you." Wu Dongfang turned around and waved to Mingwan.

Mingwan looked embarrassed, lowered her head and said nothing.

"I took the initiative to leave, it's not that you didn't want to keep me." Wu Dongfang comforted him.

Mingwan couldn't understand what he said and was still in a very low mood.

Wu Dongfang sighed when he saw this. It was really inconvenient to have a language barrier.

Mingwan seemed to suddenly remember something, and took Wu Dongfang's hand and walked north.

Wu Dongfang had difficulty moving and there were no roads in the forest, so the two walked very slowly.

Half an hour later, Mingwan led him to find a cave. This cave was located on the ridge. The entrance faced south. Although it was not big, it was enough to hide. The weeds at the entrance of the cave showed that few people came here.

"Thank you." Wu Dongfang thanked Mingwan.

After finding a place for him to stay, Mingwan felt much better. She broke off branches to clean the cave and settled him down before hurriedly going down the mountain.

Wu Dongfang felt very tired from running around all the time. He reached for his pocket out of habit. He had always regarded the half-pack of cigarettes as a treasure. He only took a few puffs at a time and extinguished them. Even if he saved again and again, there were only three left. branch.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he put the cigarette back in his pocket and lay down to rest. The matter had come to this, there was no use in being sad, there was no use in being sad, you had to live...
