Yu Ji's words instantly opened up a new way of thinking for Wu Liang.

What he said is indeed very reasonable. Putting aside those fancy myths and legends, it is indeed possible that the related descriptions of Jiuli Kingdom and Chi You came about because of this.

After all, people will always have various associations and rumors about things they don't understand, and this will not change even in later generations.

As for humans in ancient times, they didn't understand even more things. As the earliest tribal alliance to master copper smelting technology, Jiuli Kingdom had some behaviors that were difficult to understand in the eyes of other tribes. Therefore,

It is indeed very easy for similar misunderstandings and rumors to arise.

However, it is not easy to verify this.

Unless Wu Liang can find records about this matter from other tribes outside the Jiuli Kingdom, and more needs to be found for comparison and analysis, only then can it be possible to draw conclusions closest to the truth through the details.

Unfortunately, as far as he knew, there were only a few documents related to the Battle of Zhulu, both now and in later generations, and the earliest records could only be traced back to the "Book of Mountains and Seas" written in the pre-Qin period.

In addition, the earliest primitive hieroglyphics in the Celestial Dynasty originated from a tribal leader named Cangjie, and Cangjie was the left historian of the Yellow Emperor. This means that the writing that truly appeared in the Celestial Dynasty and was promoted to a certain extent must have been completed after the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You.

After unification.

Therefore, even if Wu Liangzhen had the chance to find the relics of other tribes from the same period, it is probably impossible to find relevant documentary records. At most, he would only find some knots made by some ancient tribesmen for remembering events or no one involved to interpret it.

Incomprehensible ancient murals, these things also cannot clearly express other tribes' views on Jiuli Kingdom.

Thinking like this.

"Old sir."

Wu Liang looked at Yu Ji solemnly, "These ideas of yours are very insightful. Please go out and compile these ideas into a book. Then I will record them in the history book I plan to compile. Maybe this idea is not only

It not only gives us some enlightenment now, but also provides a research direction for those who study historical facts in future generations."

"Hahaha, Master, do you agree with the old man's guess?"

Seeing that Wu Liang's expression and tone were very serious, Yu Ji felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his thin hair and said with a dry smile, "Since the young master can see this nonsense, I should try my best to handle this matter."

"We should discover some things next. Please pay more attention to the old gentleman. There is no need to stick to how the previous history books recorded this history. As long as it is a reasonable guess, the old gentleman can be free from imagination."

Wu Liang said again.

Yu Ji smiled even brighter, nodded repeatedly and said: "Don't worry, sir, I'm the best at this."

…

With the participation of Yang Wanli and the soldiers of the Hu army who had previously restored the gatehouse, the efficiency of the excavation work was immediately greatly improved.

Then more corpses and stomachs were unearthed.

As with previous discoveries, there is a height difference of about one foot between these relatively exposed corpses and the armor stomachs, and this height difference of one foot seems to be a time difference of thousands of years, which is simply incredible. …

As time went by, the pressing problems of the Hu army were gradually exposed.

It’s time to stop work and have dinner.

Wu Liang did not call everyone to rest, and Bai Jingjing and other women still stayed at the scene to help move some soil instead of returning to the island in the middle of the river to make rice.

How could the soldiers of the Hu army, who were already hungry and exhausted, not feel anything?

They were constantly taking secret glances at Wu Liang, and it was obvious what they were thinking.

Wu Liang knew that this matter could no longer be kept secret, so he had to stand up and loudly said to everyone: "Brothers, I have two news to announce now, one is good news and the other is bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"bad news!"

"Good news, I want to hear the good news first."

"I also want to hear the bad news first..."

Everyone stopped and responded with various opinions, but in the end, the voices of bad news accounted for the majority... In fact, when Wu Liang asked this question, they already had some guesses about the bad news. After all, there had been some

There were some signs, and some of them had also participated in previous hunting supplies.

"Okay, let's break the bad news first."

Wu Liang nodded and said helplessly, "The bad news is that we can't go out hunting these days. Our food has been exhausted. I'm afraid we will be hungry from now on."

"..."

Everyone in the Hu army suddenly fell into silence, and what was supposed to come had indeed come.

But after two seconds of silence, someone immediately said unwillingly: "Sir, isn't there another good news?"

"The good news is, we still have clean water."

Wu Liang continued, "As far as I know, as long as there is water, as long as everyone holds back their hunger, it shouldn't be a problem for another three to five days. And various signs discovered now indicate that except for the three gates, this place

There must be other ways to connect to the outside world. As long as everyone holds on to their patience, I am confident that I will find a way to leave here within this period of time!"

In fact, when there is water, people can live longer, definitely not just three to five days. There will be relevant research data on this matter in later generations.

But the premise is that consumption must be reduced as much as possible.

Since the Hu army wanted to excavate this ruins, they would not be able to lie still. On the contrary, they would have to perform a lot of physical labor every day, so it would be good if they could persist for another three to five days.

"Since the young master has said so, it doesn't matter if we starve for three to five days. As long as we can get out alive, we can still eat meat and drink wine when we return to Chenliu!"

"Sir, when you return to Chenliu, can you give us some bottles of soju that you can drink?"

"Young master, I want to eat beef. I heard that every few months, a cattle in the Zhu family of Chenliu accidentally falls to death. You and the third son of the Zhu family are brothers of the opposite sex. Next time I go back to his house and a cow falls to death, go ahead and kill you."

How about giving us a taste?"

"Hahahahaha..."

"Why are you laughing? Don't you want to try it?"

“Hahahahaha…” …

Everyone burst into laughter as they talked.

The incident of "cattle accidentally falling to death" was very common in the Han Dynasty, and would only occur in wealthy families like the Zhu family. In fact, everyone knows what happened. It was just that the Zhu family wanted to eat beef, and in the Han Dynasty

The law stipulates that cattle, as important production tools, cannot be slaughtered. Unless the cattle dies of old age or accidental death, the cattle owners can dispose of them themselves.

Therefore, the so-called "cattle accidentally fell to death" in wealthy families is just a fig leaf on the surface. In ordinary farmers' homes, farmers who own cattle are at least rich farmers, and their cattle will never

Falling to death, even if the cow was frightened and went crazy and killed his wife and children, he would still be reluctant to kill the cow... These days, cow life is much rarer than human life.

"this?"

Seeing that everyone was still laughing after knowing that the food had been exhausted, Hua Tuo couldn't help but wonder in his heart. He thought that the morale of these soldiers would immediately wilt.

In fact, he has begun to worry about his situation...

Living in this era, he has been to countless disaster areas and met countless victims. He has seen with his own eyes wild dogs devouring the corpses of starved people, and he has also seen with his own eyes the horrific scene of "people eating each other."

People are hungry and anxious, but they can do anything.

And as an outsider, he will definitely become the target of everyone in the Hu army first. At that time, no matter you are a "miracle doctor" or a "Taishi Ling", in the eyes of a group of hungry and irrational people, you are no more than a big piece of walking pork.

No difference... Moreover, in this secret realm, no one knows what they have done.

But the feeling given to him by the people in the Hu army was different now.

They didn't seem to be too worried about this matter, and they didn't have any doubts about Wu Liang's words. It seemed that they really just needed to undergo a three-to-five-day hunger test, and then they would definitely be able to leave this secret realm.

, returned to Chenliu to drink and eat meat, and even eat beef that is as good as gold in this world... Where did they get the confidence?

…

What Hua Tuo never expected was this.

Instead of losing morale and causing trouble due to the problem of running out of food, the entire Hu army actually worked harder than before.

They even spontaneously decided to take turns to carry out excavation work day and night.

What a strange bunch of guys, as hard to understand as Wu Taishi.

But that night, they still suffered some blows.

Hua Tuo was woken up in the early hours of the morning. Of course, the soldiers of the Hu army were not looking for him, but for Wu Liang. Since Hua Tuo heard this, he got up and followed him to the excavation site.

After he came out, he discovered that the rest of the Hu army had gathered around Wu Liang when they heard the commotion.

When we arrived at the excavation site together, we saw two corpses lying alone in an open space.

These two corpses did not look much different from the other corpses, and they were also badly decomposed, so Hua Tuo could not figure out why everyone in the Hu army treated them differently.

After Wu Liang looked at it carefully, he quickly gave the answer. He nodded with a heavy expression: "Yes, they are indeed the two brothers who were dragged into the water by the strange insect before." …

"Sir, what should we do with these two brothers?"

Yang Wanli also asked in a serious tone.

"At this level, I'm afraid it will be difficult to bring Chen Liu back to his grave..."

Wu Liang sighed helplessly, "What I mean is to cremate them and take their ashes back. If there are family records, they will be sent home to comfort them. If there are no family records, a special one will be set up in the station."

In the Hall of Heroes and Martyrs, bury the ashes near the station, and then set up a row to worship in the Hall of Heroes and Martyrs."

"If they knew that the young master had dealt with their affairs in this way, they would definitely shed tears of gratitude."

Yang Wanli sniffed and murmured.

Soon after.
To be continued...
