Chapter 2 Hourglass of Time 2



"It's damn cold!"

Su Ziyu seldom swears normally, but recently he felt that swearing was quite pleasant and it helped to calm his temper a little.

He now felt his whole body a little stiff, as if he had come to cold Siberia wearing only a single piece of clothing. To be honest, he didn't know how long he could hold on. However, after being locked in a cage like a pet by those aliens for six whole days, he no longer had any thoughts of suicide.

When a person dies, his face is turned toward the sky, and he will live forever.

Maybe he had lived too peacefully in the first half of his life, so he was a little weak at first, and thought about committing suicide more than once. Maybe the abuse of the aliens aroused a fierceness in his heart, and he suddenly stopped fearing death.

If there had been even the slightest mistake in the final blow that killed the alien leader, he would have been dead.

but.

It feels so fucking good!

After that stabbing, Su Ziyu felt that his whole spirit was sublimated.

"It would be funny if I didn't die at the hands of those snake people but was frozen to death instead." The wound on his back was so frozen that he almost lost all pain. The heat in Su Ziyu's body was dissipating very quickly. According to his own estimation, he would not survive the night if he couldn't find a warm place.

I don’t know how long I walked, but Su Ziyu’s vision suddenly became much wider.

“This is… a road!?…”

Although it was just the most primitive mud road, the road in front of him was still very different from the surrounding primitive environment. This must be a road opened up by humans, or some other intelligent creatures. After seeing those aliens whom he named snake people, Su Ziyu felt that he would not be surprised by anything he encountered next time.

The weather is too cold.

I must find a warm place, otherwise I will soon freeze to death.

Su Ziyu ate some snow on the roadside to replenish his water, silently calculated his remaining physical strength, and began to gradually speed up. The biting cold wind made his reaction a little slow, his lips were already frozen and cracked, and he didn't know when a layer of white frost formed on his eyebrows.

He walked alone in the biting cold wind, and the thoughts in his mind became fewer and fewer because of the cold.

It was a very strange ethereal state, the whole person just knew to move forward mechanically. He clearly felt that his body was close to the state of death, but for some reason he was not afraid at all. He even inexplicably wanted to laugh. But now he couldn't laugh at all because his face was frozen.

finally.

After climbing a small hill, he saw a barren farmland and a small fenced village not far away. Su Ziyu felt as if he was saved, and he quickened his pace, but at this moment he suddenly felt something trip him.

He fell down.

This fall completely awakened his awareness of his physical condition. His limbs were extremely stiff, and all his strength seemed to be exhausted in an instant. He didn't even have the strength to make a sound.

Are you going to die?

So tired!

I'll just die. Anyway, I'm alone, I'm not a virgin anymore, I've driven all the cars I should drive, and I don't have anything to worry about. I just don't know if anyone will adopt my little orange cat. It's so fat that it will have a miserable life if it becomes a stray cat...

etc!

Who is helping me up?

A burst of random thoughts seemed to have drained Su Ziyu's last bit of energy, and he fell into darkness.

"water!……"

After an unknown amount of time, Su Ziyu finally regained consciousness. He felt very thirsty and his throat was burning with pain, but no one brought him water. After the initial confusion, he quickly regained consciousness.

Su Ziyu glanced around and was visibly relieved.

fine.

This time he wasn't locked in a cage.

He seemed to be lying on the bed, without any clothes, but covered with a thick and soft fur. There was the crackling sound of burning firewood next to him, and waves of warmth came from it. His body was still a little stiff, and there was a burning pain on his back. It felt like his entire spine was a little numb. The sound of his waking up seemed to have alarmed the people outside. Soon there were footsteps, two heavy and one light, and one footstep was particularly heavy. Then he saw two men and one woman, three humans, pushing the door and walking in. The man in the lead was tall and about two meters tall. He looked alert and put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

“#@%#¥#%%@…” He looked at Su Ziyu and said something.

Finished.

There was a language barrier again, but fortunately the people I met this time were finally humans.

Su Ziyu had never felt so close to a human being before. Although the other person had obvious white skin features, he really felt very close to him after watching the snake people for so many days.

“Hello.” “Hello!”

"Can you give me some water to drink? I'm dying of thirst!"

The other party obviously didn't understand what he said, but fortunately, they were all human, so they could finally try to communicate. After Su Ziyu gestured for a while, the leading human finally understood. He reached out and handed him a kettle on the table, but his right hand was always on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Thanks."

"Thank you!"

He gulped down a bellyful of water, and only then did he have the energy to observe everything in front of him. The three humans in front of him all had Caucasian features, but they could not understand English. They looked like ancient people, and the leading man was wearing leather armor. The two people next to him were slightly younger. The young man on the left was examining him, while the girl on the right had a curious look on her face, as if it was the first time she had seen a human of his skin color.

"Thanks."

"Thank you for saving me. I will repay you." Although the other party couldn't understand what he said at all, humans can communicate more or less among themselves.

At least they knew that Su Ziyu had no ill intentions, and the leading man also moved his right hand away from the hilt of the sword.

"Su."

"Su." Su Ziyu pointed at himself, then leaned weakly on the bed and stretched out his right hand.

The leading man seemed to understand what he meant, but he did not shake hands with Su Ziyu. Instead, he held his arm with his hand, and their elbows touched lightly.

"Ken." The leading man said something similar to Ken and pointed at himself.

Human facial expressions and vocal pronunciations are more or less similar, so it is not as difficult for Su Ziyu to communicate with them as it is for the snake people. At least he cannot hear the hissing sounds of the snake people's speech, and he has no way of judging the other party's expressions and preferences.

He was in severe pain all over his body now.

Someone must have applied medicine to him. He touched his back and felt something like herb. There seemed to be few intact skin on his back. Those snake people were very cruel. Su Ziyu had never been beaten so viciously in his life.

The three people in front of him walked out, and he heard the sound of the door being locked when it closed.

The other party is still wary of outsiders.

But at this time Su Ziyu no longer had the energy to think so much, he really needed to have a good rest.

Outside the gate.

Just after Su Ziyu lay down again, the three humans outside also began to communicate. The language they used was a bit close to Old Norse, a language that uses runes and is used in Norse mythology. The pronunciation is very different from English, but there are some similar syllables.

"This person may be an exiled noble."

The leading man said in a deep voice: "Apart from the whip marks, there are no other scars on his body. There are no calluses on his hands and feet. It is obvious that he has not experienced any physical labor."

"I have seen others of his color when I ventured east, but they did not look much like him."

"I don't know where he's from either."

The body raised under the material conditions of modern society is still quite different from these aborigines. Even the girl's skin may not be as delicate as Su Ziyu's, not to mention that the aborigines of this world need to do heavy physical labor. The difference between Su Ziyu and others is like a photo of a modern person compared to a photo of an ordinary person in the Republic of China. The demeanor and temperament are very different. I am afraid that only the rich children in the Republic of China can have such a complexion. The leading man not only thinks that he is a noble, but also very likely a noble of high status.

But he didn't understand why a noble of high status would suddenly appear in such a remote place as Beifeng County.

It takes three or four days to walk from here to the nearest city. Normally, you can hardly see any outsiders. Even businessmen only come here once every six months.

"noble?"

"Then he should be worth a lot of money," the young man whispered.

The girl next to him couldn't help but glared at him and said angrily, "I picked him up. He is my trophy. You are not allowed to touch him!"

After saying that, she showed the dagger at her waist.

When she came back from hunting, she found a man on the roadside, who was a nobleman. The girl seemed to be in a good mood.

"Keep an eye on him."

"Don't let him run around. Winter is coming, and those monsters may appear again. I don't want to see any trouble." The leading man glared at them, then put his hand on the hilt of the sword and walked towards the watchtower. There were dozens of people outside, all talking about the foreign man picked up by the girl.

But no matter what, the perilla fish are still human beings, and their attitude is not that bad.
