Traveling through another world as a sacrifice

Chapter 40

"Chirp Chirp~" When the first ray of light shone on the window sill in the morning, a bird flew up, tilting its head and chirping. Outside the window, a drop of morning dew rolled down from the leaves. A breath of fresh air.

Although the autumn morning light is not scorching hot, it is a bit dazzling, until the sun hangs high, and the light projected into the room is then elongated, instantly dispelling the haze that shrouded the top of the head.

It seemed that the light was too obstructive, the person on the bed gave a thank you, pulled the quilt, and buried the whole person in it, without the obstruction of the light, it seemed that he could enjoy a better sleep, just going to meet Zhou Gong, it was out of season There was a knock on the door.

Half of the drowsiness has been dispelled. I covered my ears and didn't want to pay attention to the annoying voice. I turned around and shrank into the bed, thinking that the other party would leave after a while, but the knock on the door seemed to be against me. Gone is the trend.

"Who the hell is it? They're keeping people from sleeping!" Wang Xiaoyu sat up from the bed with a rage, perhaps that voice was too loud, and just after the roar, there was a bang outside the door, which seemed to be something The sound of metal objects falling to the ground, this sound directly scared away the last bit of sleepiness in Wang Xiaoyu.

He rushed to the door angrily, just about to get angry, he saw a maid kneeling outside the door, and saw Wang Xiaoyu coming out and kowtowed begging for mercy, someone froze at first, then the corners of his mouth twitched wildly, early in the morning, there was another commotion where?

"I'm sorry, Miss, please forgive me..." The maid kowtowed and begged for mercy, her whole body trembling. After listening to it for a long time, Wang Xiaoyu finally understood that the lover thought she was going to punish her. After coming to this foreign world for so long, she still wasn't used to it. human rights violation.

"Get up, I don't blame you, I was convulsed just now." Wang Xiaoyu knew that it would be useless to talk to these people, and it was impossible for him to change the deep-rooted concepts of these people.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, honorable lady." Seeing that Wang Xiaoyu really didn't seem to be punishing herself, the maid stood up gratefully, saw Wang Xiaoyu staring at the overturned water basin, and apologized again more than.

After the maid went to fetch hot water again, she was about to wash her face when the other handed herself a frizzy wicker with a small bowl of water in her hand, which made someone puzzled and couldn't help asking; "What is this for?" of?"

Hearing Wang Xiaoyu's question, the maid was stunned, her big green eyes blinked, and seeing that Wang Xiaoyu didn't seem to be joking, she continued to explain; "This is for cleaning your teeth." After speaking, she peeked at Wang Xiaoyu. fish response.

"What, a toothbrush?" The corner of Wang Xiaoyu's mouth twitched. She used to gargle with salt water when she was in the temple, so she asked the maid if she had any salt water. Who knew that the maid actually replied that she was going to ask for instructions.

"Forget it, forget it, don't bother me." Although I was a little surprised why I had to ask for instructions on ordering salt water, someone was awkwardly brushing left and right with that frizzy wicker, but I was a little strange because it was also useful in ancient China The habit of wicker brushing teeth.

As for the salt water, it was reserved for nobles, because it is said that salt was a luxury at that time, and ordinary people couldn’t afford it, so they used wicker to frizz and brush their teeth, but it was China after all, and if her guess was correct, the wicker should be returned It didn't appear, even if it did, it shouldn't be here.

After washing up, I ate the breakfast carefully prepared by the maid, a piece of goat milk, a piece of buckwheat bread, and a piece of meat from an unknown animal. The nutrition was balanced, and the only drawback was that there was no saltiness.

After eating and drinking enough, Wang Xiaoyu was about to go out for a stroll, but when he reached the door, he was stopped by someone. The reason was that he was unfamiliar with the place, and he was afraid that Wang Xiaoyu would get lost. Get out, it's no different than captivity for someone.

"I'm an honored guest invited by your patriarch's younger brother. Don't you even have the freedom to go? Tell that guy Alan to come see me." Wang Xiaoyu yelled arrogantly, although she knew it must be the meaning of the above, so she just Embarrassing these servants is just trying to attract others.

"What happened?" After a while, an old man came out from the corner. The old man was wearing a black linen robe, followed by a few servants. It seemed that his status was not low.

After making a fuss for a long time, finally a supervisor came, Wang Xiaoyu changed his target, looked up and down the old man without saying a word, which made the old man a little uncertain what Wang Xiaoyu meant.

"I don't know what is the request of the distinguished guest?" After a while, the old man spoke first.

"Since I'm a distinguished guest, it shouldn't be a problem for me to go out for a stroll, right?"

"...This..." The old man hesitated for a moment, and when he looked up, he met Shang Wang Xiaoyu's cold eyes, paused, and then nodded; "No problem, just to ensure your safety, I need to find a companion to follow, I don't know ..."

Upon hearing the other party's words, Wang Xiaoyu understood that he was nothing more than serving as a follower for himself, and to put it bluntly, it was surveillance. Although he was a little reluctant in his heart, he could only compromise in other people's territory.

The accompanying person was the old man. In fact, Wang Xiaoyu didn't know where he was going, so he asked the old man where Alan was. This time the old man was not vague, saying that Alan was going to prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony.

"A coming-of-age ceremony, what is that?" Just as Wang Xiaoyu was about to ask, several children ran over and played hide-and-seek around his legs. Seeing this, the old man wanted to disperse the two of them, but Wang Xiaoyu waved his hand to stop them.

Kneeling down, she pinched the face of a little girl. The soft touch made her jealous. The girl was about two years old, with fair skin and green eyes like a doll. She was not afraid to see Wang Xiaoyu, and looked at it curiously. With Wang Xiaoyu.

"What's your name?" Wang Xiaoyu asked with a smile.

"My name is Alice, what's your name, sister?" the girl asked, blinking her eyes.As soon as he said he knew, a woman rushed over, held the little girl's head and knelt down in front of him, saying sorry.

This made Wang Xiaoyu confused. He didn't understand what happened. He looked at the old man in doubt. The old man came over and explained the reason softly. The reason made Wang Xiaoyu a little helpless. Honorific words, and you can't directly ask the nobleman's name, that's a great offense.

"Please, please stop kowtowing, I really don't care." No matter what Wang Xiaoyu said, the woman was still kowtowing. Since she was a nobleman, she wouldn't listen to anything she said?In the end, it was the old man's words that worked, which made Wang Xiaoyu, an outsider, sad again.

Looking at this place during the day, the feeling is completely different from that at night. It makes people feel like returning to primitive society. Most of the houses are made of stone. When asked why they are not made of wood, the other party’s answer is to protect nature, and the white point is to protect environment.

This made Wang Xiaoyu very surprised. How people in this era would understand such a truth is a bit unbelievable. When passing by a house, someone discovered another surprising scene. There is actually a stone mill in this era! !
There is no way to study the origin of the stone mill, but according to some documents, it appeared at least 2000 years ago. Could it be that the thing came from the West?This is a little unlikely, because according to some documents, there are materials about stone mills in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, but the origin is unclear.

Seeing this somewhat unreasonable existence, Wang Xiaoyu's exuberant curiosity began to flare up again. She leaned forward to ask, but the other party couldn't explain clearly, so they said it happened a long time ago, and they didn't know how long it was. .

The woman who owns a stone mill is grinding soybean milk. When asked about the purpose of soybean milk, someone feels powerless to complain. You must know that soybean milk is extremely rich in nutrition, but the other party actually told her that soybean milk is used to bathe babies!
Wang Xiaoyu told the other party that soy milk is a good thing, but the other party didn't seem to believe it, just nodded and said that he could drink it and try it. Seeing the ground bean dregs on the side, Wang Xiaoyu suddenly thought of the bean dregs cake he had eaten when he was a child, so he asked for some. , the other party was very enthusiastic and gave himself a big bag.

After bidding farewell to the woman, a certain person received a lot of things from enthusiastic people along the way, and returned with a full load in a short while, which made the bad mood of being woken up early in the morning disappear. The simplicity of the people in this place made Wang Xiaoyu very yearning .

I opened my mouth and took a bite of the coarse grain bread I just got. The bite was full of fragrance. The grain has its own sweetness, which is much more delicious than the modern flavors and saccharine added.

I took an apple and wiped it in my arms. Anyway, there are no pesticides in this era. The food is all natural and green products, and the taste is as sweet as imagined. Someone is satisfied, but the old man who accompanied him has completely acted as a The role of the shopping cart.

Along the way, all the people I saw were living and working in peace and contentment. Regardless of whether they were old or young, they were all twins, and they all looked extremely delicate. Coupled with the beautiful scenery around them, it made people feel like a dream.

The tribe is very large, and I haven't finished my shopping in one day. When I was going to go back to rest, I saw a building behind the woods. When I proposed to go to see it, the old man seemed very flustered and said that I couldn't go to that place.

Wang Xiaoyu is not stupid, pretending to agree, planning to sneak out after going back at night, the more others stop her, the more curious she is, is there any treasure hidden in that building?
"Master, you are back." At the door, the maid had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw Wang Xiaoyu came back, she leaned forward, face down, and crossed her hands, which was a sign of respect for the nobleman.

"Well, you can go back and rest." Wang Xiaoyu waved his hand, ignoring the maid's hesitant expression, and bumped into someone as soon as he entered the room.

"Alan? Why are you here?" Unexpectedly, it was Alan who had been missing for a day. The other party looked a little tired, dirty, with many holes in his clothes, which looked like they were newly made.

"Don't worry about this, I'm here to tell you something, come on, sit down." Allen seemed very excited, and after Wang Xiaoyu sat down, he hurried over with a flattering expression.

Wang Xiaoyu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the other party, turned his head to one side, and said with a disgusted face; "Why are you looking at me like this, just tell me if you have anything to do."

"Hey, I was discovered by you. As expected, she is the woman that I, Allen, valued. She is really smart." Allen tossed his hair triumphantly, and Wang Xiaoyu was unable to complain about his narcissistic appearance.

"I'll give you three seconds. If you don't say anything, go away." Someone raised three fingers and shook them. Hearing this, Allen put away his joking attitude, and suddenly became serious.
