"I've wanted to practice magic for a long time, but I never made time." Wu Dongfang said.
"What have you been busy with for the past twenty years?" the prince asked, tilting his head.
"I'm not even one year old yet." Wu Dongfang smiled.
"Why didn't you say you weren't weaned?" The prince naturally didn't know what Wu Dongfang meant by one year old.
There were farmers returning late in front of them. Wu Dongfang and the prince stopped talking. They were a middle-aged couple. After passing by, the woman said, "Hey, look at how big this dog is."
The prince became angry and turned around and shouted, "You are the dog!"
The couple was stunned for a moment, then one screamed and the other yelled, dropped their farm tools and ran away quickly.
"Haha, ha." The prince smiled proudly.
Wu Dongfang tilted his head and glanced at the prince. This guy likes to scare people, and he even scared him when they first met.
It was on its way in the first half of the night, but the wind picked up in the second half of the night, and the prince refused to leave. It had a strong intuition, maybe it felt that it was going to rain.
As soon as he found a dilapidated house, heavy rain started pouring down. There were some human bones scattered in this dilapidated house, and there were spider webs everywhere. However, with the prince as his company, Wu Dongfang did not feel any fear at all. In the past, he would not have stayed in such a dilapidated house at night. He had to be brave all over the house.
It was no longer very cold at this time. Wu Dongfang did not light a fire, so he stayed the night with the prince, and continued walking as soon as the rain stopped at dawn.
The prince was a chatty person, so he chatted with Wu Dongfang when he was bored on the road. He was very curious about Wu Dongfang's origins, but Wu Dongfang did not satisfy his curiosity. It was difficult to explain time travel to others, and it was even harder to explain to the fox. Later, he was The prince got tired of pestering him, so he simply said that he had suffered a head injury and had lost his previous memory.
"No wonder your brain is not very bright, it turns out that it is broken." The prince looked like he suddenly understood.
Wu Dongfang was too lazy to quarrel with it and accelerated his pace. The prince struggled to follow and shouted, "Why are you walking so fast? It's not to mourn."
"You have such a vicious tongue!" Wu Dongfang stopped and turned back with a frown.
The prince also stopped and looked up at him.
After a few seconds, Wu Dongfang smiled. This guy is just a fox. His thinking is different from that of humans. It would be weird if he was the same as humans.
"By the way, I have a question for you." Wu Dongfang stepped forward.
"What?" the prince asked.
"Can you see ghosts? If you encounter a ghost, would you be afraid?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Some can, some can't, some are afraid, some are not afraid." The prince said casually.
Wu Dongfang nodded. Foxes, like humans, are living creatures, while ghosts are sinister creatures and are not of the same order.
"Why don't you walk in the middle, but keep walking to the right?" the prince asked curiously.
"Get used to it." Wu Dongfang said.
"This habit is quite strange." The prince shook his head in confusion.
Wu Dongfang was in a low mood and did not answer the prince's words. There were too many differences between the Xia Dynasty and modern times. This was a brand new environment, and many changes had to be made to adapt to the Xia Dynasty.
Traveling during the day and resting at night, Wu Dongfang felt a little more relaxed every day. The further away from the Mu Clan's capital and the longer the time passed, the less likely it was that the Tu Clan and Fei Lu would find him.
Three days later, the main road disappeared, leaving only a small road heading east. The road was overgrown with weeds. It was obvious that not many people usually took this road. After walking along the path for a day, Wu Dongfang understood that there were no villages on both sides of the road. This was a road leading to the seaside, a road used by the Mu people to dry salt and fish.
As soon as he walked onto the path, the prince didn't want to leave, so he excused his feet pain.
Wu Dongfang walked with it between his legs. He knew what the prince was thinking. The prince did not want to be too far away from the village. The further away from the village, the more difficult it would be to get wine and eat.
Seven days later, the "two people" came to the beach.
The prince had never seen the sea before, and the sudden sight of the sea made him very curious and frightened. There are not many animals living on land that are not afraid of water.
"The crabs here are different from those in the river." The prince fiddled with a crab with vertical claws.
Wu Dongfang didn't answer. He looked around and started to choose whether to go north or south along the beach. After thinking about it, he walked north along the beach. He couldn't be lazy in order to walk a few more steps back to the Jin clan in the future. He had to make sure that he The hiding place is safe.
It was noon, and there were a lot of crabs on the beach. At this time, people didn't know they were edible. The crabs were very big and not afraid of people. When they saw people, they just raised their pincers and didn't run away.
In addition to crabs, there are still dead fish, sea vegetables and various shellfish left at low tide on the beach. This is why he chose to practice on the beach. He does not need to worry about salt and food. All he has to do now is to find a safe place. Live in a cave with fresh water around it.
There are many mountains on the seaside, but Wu Dongfang did not dare to wander in. There were no guns at this time, and humans did not have a big advantage when facing wild beasts. Therefore, many wild beasts could survive for many years. As they lived longer, they would either become very large. , or the IQ becomes very high, the animals in the former case can be called monsters, and the latter should be called goblins. He is worried that there will be monsters or goblins in these uninhabited mountains.
The task of finding a place to live fell on the prince. His intuition is sharper than humans, and his nose is more sensitive than humans. Beasts usually mark their territory with urine. It can judge what kind of beasts are active around it based on the smell.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the prince found a place to stay. It was a mountain peak very close to the sea. There was a cave facing east on the stone wall at the foot of the mountain. This cave was a natural cave. Outside the cave was a steep slope of four to five meters. The cave is very spacious, with an area of three to four hundred square meters. The left side is relatively dry. There is a gap on the stone roof on the right side. Water drips from the stone gap. There is also a gap below. Most of the dripping water from the top seeps into the mountain along the gap below. , some remained in the lower areas, the water was very clean, the prince smelled it, tasted it, and found it drinkable.
"Why isn't such a good place occupied by wild animals?" Wu Dongfang put down his things and sat down.
"You think it's good, but we don't think it's good. Except in the morning, we don't see the sun here all day." The prince said.
Wu Dongfang nodded. Most beasts like to bask in the sun. There is insufficient light here and it will be very cold in winter.
"You rest, I'll go out for a walk." The prince turned and ran out of the cave.
Wu Dongfang got up and followed him out. When he reached the entrance of the cave, the prince had already run westward.
Food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all he needed now. Wu Dongfang went to the beach and picked up some sea creatures. After he came back, he chopped firewood around him. He didn't bring any bedding. At night, he had to rely on bonfires to keep warm and cook food. .
The sun went down and the prince hadn't come back yet, so he was a little worried.
When it got dark, he piled up firewood and lit a bonfire, and used the wine jar that the prince had emptied to cook the seafood he picked up from the seaside.
After the sea food was cooked, the prince still didn't come back. Wu Dongfang couldn't sit still, stood up and walked outside the cave. There was no moon in the sky, and the surroundings were dark.
He couldn't see clearly at night, and since he was new here, he didn't know much about the surrounding environment. He rashly went into the mountain to look for him, fearing that he might get lost if he couldn't find the prince.
It's not even possible to shout. If there are monsters and goblins around, they will definitely follow the sound and find their way here.
After hesitating for a long time, Wu Dongfang decided to light a fire in the flat area under the cave and use the light of the fire to summon the prince back. Lighting a fire would definitely expose himself, but monsters and goblins are usually afraid of fire and would not dare to approach easily even if they knew there was someone here.
Wu Dongfang collected some firewood in the dark, took out a flaming branch from the cave, lit the firewood, and then used the firelight to find more branches and firewood to make the bonfire burn more vigorously.
The bonfire has been burning for more than half an hour. Such a huge fire can be seen even from a hundred miles away. The prince must have seen it if nothing happened.
The ominous feeling in Wu Dongfang's heart became more and more intense. Although the prince could speak, he had no magic or special abilities. If there were any monsters or goblins nearby, the prince would not be his opponent at all.
He began to regret having brought the prince out. A small town on the border of the Tu and Mu tribes was the most suitable for the prince, as he was familiar with the environment there.
There was no use regretting it. The only thing he could do now was to burn the bonfire even brighter.
Another half an hour passed, and the prince still didn't come back. Wu Dongfang was almost desperate. Just when he was almost desperate, the prince's voice came from the west, "Hello."
Hearing the prince's cry, Wu Dongfang took a long breath and responded loudly, "I thought you were dead."
"It's better not to die. Come and pick me up. I can't see you." The prince shouted.
Wu Dongfang grabbed a few burning branches and walked towards the woods to the west. Although he was anxious, he did not dare to run. If he ran away, the fire would go out.
You called and I responded, judging the approximate location by the sound. After walking for five minutes, Wu Dongfang finally saw the prince at the bottom of a steep slope. The prince's fur was covered with dust, and his entire head and face were severely swollen. I can't even open my eyes.
"What's going on?" Wu Dongfang went over to check the prince's injury.
"Don't mention it, let the bees sting you." The prince said.
Seeing that there were no other external injuries on the prince's body, Wu Dongfang felt relieved and walked back with it under his arm, "Why are bees so powerful?"
"It's not a bee, it's a wasp, a big wasp, oh, it hurts me to death," the prince shouted.
"Why did you provoke the wasps when you had nothing to do?" Wu Dongfang asked with a smile. He had seen people beaten into pig heads, but he had never seen a fox stung into pig heads.
"I didn't know it was a wasp, I thought it was a human..." The prince said as he oops, it turned out that this guy had gone out to explore the surrounding environment, and found it in a valley dozens of miles away to the west. There was a small wooden house, surrounded by flowers and plants. It curiously ran over to investigate. As soon as it ran into the valley, a woman walked out of the wooden house. When she saw it, she immediately turned into a huge wasp and rushed towards its head. All of a sudden, it was injured and ran back. Halfway through, its head swelled, its eyelids became swollen, and it couldn't see the road. It finally managed to get back by relying on the vague light of the campfire.
"You must have shown your teeth to scare people, otherwise they wouldn't have stung you." Wu Dongfang said with a smile. If the other party really wanted to kill the prince, he would just chase him and give him a quick blow. If he didn't chase him, it would mean he was punished with a small punishment but a big warning.
"I was saying hello to it." The prince said harshly.
"Can that wasp talk?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Yes." The prince replied.
"What did it say?" Wu Dongfang asked with a smile.
The prince oops twice but did not answer.
Wu Dongfang laughed and did not continue to ask questions. The other party must have scolded it.
The prince is not pretending, his injuries are really not serious, and he is not dead. The pain will definitely last for several days, and the swelling in his head will not go away even if it takes three to five days.
Back in the cave, the prince groped his way to the water and drank a lot of water. It had lived a long time and had the instinct of a beast. It knew what to do to reduce pain.
Just as the prince was drinking water, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside...
