Shang Ni was startled and didn't know whether she should go over to help her. She quickly waved her hand and said, "We are not angels, we are from outside!"

Zhuang Mengzhou shouted loudly: "Don't call the angel!"

The man raised his head and said, "It's been ten thousand years! The messenger sent by the Lord Huova finally, how should I call the two honoraries?"

Mr. Zhuang frowned slightly and said, "It's not easy to mention the name of the emperor. Have you forgotten? All the families in the world are brothers and sisters. We are just outsiders, all living people."

The man was stunned and quickly kowtowed, "It was Bai Yong who was negligent. Bai Yong welcomed the two brothers of heaven!"

Mr. Zhuang: "Brother Tian doesn't have to be called a distinguished guest in Tianwai." When he said these words, he had already taken off his backpack and stood there with his hands behind his back. Although he was all coming in from outside, he was not as embarrassed as Ding Qi and others. His clothes were not gray at all, and his silver hair was full of ecstasy.

The man named Bai Yong quickly nodded and said, "Are you going to the camp when you are two distinguished guests from heaven coming to heaven?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Yes, it's your village. Is there a place to rest? Get up and talk!"

Bai Yong stood up, patted his clothes and bowed, "Please wait for a while for the distinguished guests in the sky. I will immediately return to the camp to report and ask everyone to welcome him."

He accused him of guilt and turned around and left in a hurry. Shang Ni asked in confusion: "Mr. Zhuang, why did he call us angels? Are you praising me for being cute?"

Zhuang Mengzhou glanced at her and said, "They are emperors."

Shangni: "Here? Which emperor are you worshiping?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Anyway, it's not Emperor Haotian, nor Emperor Xuanyuan or Emperor Xuanqiong Gao. Which emperor do you think is it?"

Shang Ni: "I have heard of Emperor Haotian, who are Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Xuanqiong Gao?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "It's Tai Laojun and the Jade Emperor."

Shang Ni: "I understand Jade Emperor, what's going on with Tai Laojun?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "I was granted the title of Tang Dynasty, ask me, who will I go now?"

Shangni: "So they worshipped the Christian emperor. Who are these?"

Zhuang Mengzhou narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that he is a descendant of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."

Shangni: "How did you know?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom started with the Emperor's Prayer. They issued the so-called ten heavenly terms. I just memorized one of them, and I could guess it from the reaction. It seems that a remnant of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom came here and reproduction and settlement here. It has been a long time since then."

Shang Ni: "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has not been too long, right? But what the man said just now has been ten thousand years!"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Have you noticed that the seasons here are different from those outside, and the time is also different from those outside. Is there a possibility that the time scale is also different? The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was defeated and the remnants broke through Wanling City in 1864, and it is almost 154 years now. If we count it as ten thousand years, then the year outside is almost equivalent to sixty years here, so that it can be explained."

Shang Ni said in a daze: "Mr. Zhuang, have you calculated all this?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "It's just mathematics in the second grade of elementary school, what can't be calculated?"

Shangni: "I don't mean that, I want to ask - how could such a magical thing happen?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "In the outside world, everything is unknown, everything can happen... Since there is such a possibility, how do you feel now?"

Shang Ni: "I was quite anxious at the beginning, but now there is no need to worry. You can play here slowly and find a place to wait for Senior Brother Zhu and the others."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Don't tell them this first. We may not be able to get out for a while. I want to see what their reaction is... Put down the bag first, it's so heavy, don't carry it."

Shang Ni took off her backpack and found that Bai Yong had not taken away the "hoe" that had just fallen to the ground, so she picked it up and studied it. This thing should be a hoe, but it was made of bamboo and wood. The wooden handle was made of sharpened arc-shaped thick bamboo pieces as the hoe mouthpiece. A wedge-shaped stone was inserted into the connection between the hoe mouthpiece and the hoe handle.

Shang Ni: "Mr. Zhuang, this farm tool is so strange. They actually made hoes like this!"

Zhuang Mengzhou took the hoe and said, "It may be difficult to smel metal in this place, so they can only use materials to make agricultural tools. The hoe is used to dig the ground, weed, and break the soil and lump the clogged soil. The head must have a certain amount to be used, so a stone was inserted on the top.

This stone is also a locking piece. As long as it is pulled down, the bamboo shovel head can be removed. The bamboo shovel head is easy to break, so it can be easily replaced at any time. It is very time-consuming to grind a wedge-shaped stone. It seems that they also understand the process of parts exchange."

As he said that, he put down his hoe, took off the machete hanging on the side of Shangni's backpack, and found a stone on the side of the road to sharpen the knife slowly. Shangni wondered, "Mr. Zhuang, why are you sharpening the knife?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "It's not a waste of chopping wood! You are waiting for it, and you're bored and drink a sip of water to rest."

Shangni's backpack was very long and was placed on the ground almost as high as her chest. There was a machete on the right side of the bag, and the kettle was hung on the left. She took the kettle and drank a few sips of water, and then she heard a noise coming from the front. There were hundreds of people coming in front of her all at once, and the dirt road that was about two meters wide was long.

Walking side by side were two men and one woman in front of them. They glanced over and knew that they had just washed their faces and changed their clothes because they were very clean. The three of them wore yellow cloth hats and there were hanging hat curtains on the back sides of the hats, as if they were very identifiable people.

Bai Yong's outfit is different from them. He only has a headscarf tied on his head, like an ancient bun. Bai Yong ran over to introduce: "Two distinguished guests from the sky, these are the marshal Feng Guoxin of our camp, the military advisor Wang Hongling and Sima Tian Xiaoli. I heard that the two came from the sky and all came to greet each other."

The three of them had already knelt down in front of them and crawled and saluted, "Greetings to the two brothers of heaven!" The more than a hundred people behind them also knelt down and saluted.

Zhuang Mengzhou stood up and waved his hand expressionlessly, "Everyone is free from courtesy! Didn't I say that you should not call Brother Tian. The so-called secrets of heaven should not be revealed, just call him a distinguished guest outside Tian."

Shang Ni next to him was worried for him. He was just a little bit of a sudden arrival and asked someone who had just met the first time. This was too good to pretend, right? But since Mr. Zhuang had already pretended, Shang Ni could not show his timidity, and tried to learn from his expression and appearance. Looking at Zhuang Mengzhou's style, it should be fine to be an angel or brother Tian, ​​but he seemed to dislike this title.

Everyone stood up, looking very respectful, no one dared to speak nonsense. The Sima Lord Tian Xiaoli looked like an ordinary peasant woman with dark skin, thick hands and strong hands; and the military advisor Wang Hongling was also a woman, about her early twenties. Although she was not a great beauty outside, she was very beautiful with the others here.

As for the Marshal Feng Guoxin, he looked over thirty years old, with a fair skin and a little scholarly temperament. If he hadn't been in front of Zhuang Mengzhou, he would have been called elegant and elegant. He had a puzzled look and asked hesitantly: "Since it is coming from heaven, why don't the brother of heaven be called this? The kingdom of heaven has never seen brother of heaven come for thousands of years, and I don't know the two..."

When Shang Ni heard this, she seemed to be suspicious. Among these more than a hundred simple indigenous people, this person has a more active mind, and has doubts about their identity and origin, or is a bit taboo.

Zhuang Mengzhou seemed to have not heard him or ignored him at all. He took two steps to the side of the road and swung his machete out. A small mulberry tree as thick as a three-fingered finger broke in response to the sound. The knife was shattered beautifully, and the fracture of the tree trunk was very flat.

The villagers who saw this scene were shocked and did not dare to show off. I wonder what he was doing. Could it be that the marshal was talking nonsense and made the distinguished guest angry? Marshal Feng Guoxin was also suddenly shocked and said tremblingly, "This is the legendary steel?"

The legendary steel? Shang Ni almost stood firm when she heard this. It seems that this marshal had heard of steel, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. He was already the most knowledgeable person of these people and could still recognize them!

Zhuang Mengzhou nodded mysteriously and said, "Yes, it's steel. You can hear the saying that it's like steel and iron? What you hold today is the real steel. What marshal has any advice?"

Feng Guoxin quickly lowered his head and said, "I dare not, don't you dare, two distinguished guests from the sky will invite you to the sedan chair!"

As soon as he waved his hand, the people behind him flashed into two neat rows next to the road, and someone carried three sedan chairs over. The sedan chairs here were a bit like sliders in a scenic area, carried by two people in front and back on their shoulders. There was a seat with armrests on the side, and a ceiling that could protect the sun and rain, almost completely made of bamboo.

But these three sedans have much more exquisite ordinary sliding rods. If you look carefully, you will find that the production process is exquisite. All the surfaces of the bamboo skin are exposed by some branding method. The exquisite patterns, plants, animals, and characters are all skilled. Only when you sit in the sedans can you know that there is no metal here, and the handrails on both sides of the mount are sealed with gold.

There were three sedan chairs in total, usually they were marshals, military advisors, and Sima. The handrail seal of the first sedan chair was dragon-shaped, the second sedan chair was phoenix-shaped, and the third sedan chair was tiger-shaped. Zhuang Mengzhou and Shangni sat one by one, but the other was not empty. Carrying the two backpacks they brought, three leaders including Feng Guoxin walked with the sedan chair and took more than a hundred people away.

Zhuang Mengzhou and Shangni felt comfortable. Ding Qi and three disciples were still living a hard life in the mountains, but this did not prevent them from having fun. At dusk, they saw the sunset brightly and built soil to cook for the stove and pot. The pot was a rectangular aluminum alloy groove with an ear hanging on one side. The shape and size could be placed at the bottom of the backpack, and it would not take up any space to carry it with you.

You can't eat too much wild cherries at once, and they have found a source of water, but if this thing is broken for a long time, it cannot be wasted. Ding Qi actually cooked a pot of cherry soup, sweet, and had supper with compressed biscuits and canned military beef. If you cook this kind of dish in the school cafeteria, many students would probably post it to their friends as a dish, but it would be quite delicious to eat here.

They still have more than a dozen kilograms of cherries here, and they can’t finish the sweet soup. Ding Qi stirred a small wooden stick and simmered it slowly over low heat. Later, the cherry meat was simmered, and the cherry pits were sucked up and then boiled it. The soup gradually became a sticky syrup.

Ye Yanxing said excitedly: "I have seen someone boil pear paste in my hometown, and it boils it like this."

Bi Xuecheng: "This is not pear paste, it is cherry paste! Pure natural, pollution-free green organic wild cherry paste. If the master had not taken us out to see the world, where would we eat this kind of thing?"

Meng Huiyu: "How long will it take? Master, let's help you."

Ding Qi: "Okay, you take turns to operate. Be careful that the heat should be low, stir evenly, and don't boil the cherry paste." As he said that, he sprinkled a little salt into the pot.

The cherries were mixed with water to make sweet soup, and cooked for half a pot. In the end, only a shallow layer of the bottom of the pot was left. Ding Qi asked them to take the pot off the heat and cool it, and condensed into a light yellow solid, about half a centimeter thick. Use a knife to cut the solid layer into the size of sugar cubes, and then all of them were raised out.

Ding Qi ordered the three disciples and said, "This thing should be called cherry gout. We each divided a little bit and carried it in our pockets. You can eat one from time to time when walking tomorrow to prevent your blood sugar from being too low."

Walking on the mountain road with a bag is quite exhausting. In addition to being careful not to get injured, two things are most taboo: one is that the body is electrolyte disordered due to a large amount of sweating and salt loss, and the other is that the energy consumption is too high, resulting in low blood sugar. You can't always stop and cook. It is necessary to eat some snacks while walking, so Ding Qi processed cherry paste sugar on the spot.

Meng Huiyu picked up a piece of cherry candy and said to the dusk in the sky: "What a beautiful candy, I can't bear to eat it!"

Ding Qi smiled and said, "I have to eat even if I can't bear to eat. After I finish eating, I can make some more."

The cherry gout sugar processed by the master and apprentice is indeed very beautiful. It has a light yellow translucent square piece with amber texture. It is soft and elastic when pinched with your hands. It also has golden silky patterns and red flakes inside, which is not boiled with pulp fibers and cherry skin.

After making the cherry gout, it became dark and everyone lit a bonfire. This was not a very deep cave, it was a semi-open cave with a rock-sized cave, so three bonfires were lit on the front and side. They collected a lot of wood and needed to watch the fire slowly increase. In short, the fire could not be extinguished this night.

Ding Qi asked Meng Huiyu to go to the tent to sleep. He and two other boys took turns to watch the night, but Meng Huiyu insisted on letting the master sleep, and she also wanted to watch the night. Ding Qi thought for a while and said, "Okay, the four of us are in two hours. Be careful not to let the fire be extinguished. If there is any movement, wake others up. Meng Huiyu will stay in the tent, and we will sleep outside the tent."
