Chapter 3: The Hourglass of Time 3
Suzi fish was woken up by hunger.
Then he smelled the smell of food coming from outside, and he didn't know what it was cooking, but he smelled the shiitake mushrooms, and felt that his stomach was already rumbling with hunger.
"You're awake."
"Let's have something to eat." The girl pushed the door open and walked in, placing a wooden bowl next to Su Ziyu's bed.
Although he couldn't understand what the girl said, but this did not prevent him from understanding what the other party meant, Su Ziyu got up and took a sip of the bowl, and suddenly felt a warm current from his stomach to his whole body. Finally ate something like human food, the food given by the snake man is the same as pig food, although the food in front of me does not know what it is made of, but Suzi fish tasted the taste of wheat porridge, shiitake mushrooms and meat. This food must have been cooked for a long time, and it tasted delicious anyway, or maybe he was too hungry. After a while, he finished drinking a bowl, took the empty bowl and gestured a little awkward to the girl in front of him, and soon brought another bowl to the other side.
"Sue." Su Ziyu pointed at himself.
"Linna." The girl said a pronunciation similar to 'Lina'.
The two looked at each other a little awkwardly for a while, the language barrier was indeed quite troublesome, she quickly turned around and walked out, and at the same time, Su Ziyu also heard the sound of the lock.
"Whew."
"I finally survived." Su Ziyu felt that he had lost a lot of weight, and when he touched his belly, he felt that his little belly was gone, and the six-pack abs came out on their own. He was in good spirits now, so he focused his mind on the strange golden hourglass, which should be his only hope of going home.
During the time he was locked in a cage by the snake man, he could only concentrate on studying the golden hourglass in that consciousness space. It was a glassy golden hourglass, with oak-like brackets at the upper and lower ends, and the surface was golden brown, and there were many patterns and symbols engraved on it that he couldn't understand. The most peculiar thing is the grit, the sand that has never been seen to glow, but these grits will have a layer of golden streamer at any time, and the light they emit is full of dreamlike colors.
Su Ziyu has almost no research results, but he found that after entering the second world, he seems to have mastered a somewhat remarkable ability.
When he grabbed the knife to kill the leader of the aliens, Su Ziyu felt as if the flow of time had become extremely slow at that moment, and everything around him seemed to have turned into a slow-motion movie, and he was the only one who was not affected by this. Therefore, the speed of his attack will be faster than that of the snake man leader, and he will complete the process of snatching the knife and counter-killing almost instantly.
"If you want to go home, you can only count on it."
This golden hourglass seems to have the ability to travel through time and space, but this ability is not controlled by the Suziyu, and whenever the golden gravel on it runs dry, it will forcibly send him to another world, and the time spent in the next world seems to be much longer.
"I don't know if this thing will record coordinates, if only it had the coordinates of the Earth on it."
Su Ziyu thought about it for a while, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
When he woke up, he heard the sound of ping-pong outside, and there was a set of washed clothes next to the bed, the texture was a bit like linen, and it was a little cold to wear, so he put on his own animal skin coat outside. The door was not locked today, and when he walked out, he happened to see the girl named Linna practicing with someone, he basically didn't know much about swordsmanship, but the other party looked very powerful. The two people in the sparring have very fast reactions, and Su Ziyu can't even see the movements clearly, but they can parry and block the enemy's attacks, just like in the movie.
Lina also seemed to see Su Ziyu, she stopped and picked up the wooden sword and threw it to him, and then made an inviting pose.
"I won't......"
Su Ziyu subconsciously reached out to catch the sword, but he didn't expect to really catch it, but it also pulled the wound on his back, a little painful, he felt that his skills seemed to be a lot more agile than before, so he was a little eager to try: "Then I'll try." ”
He hadn't learned swordsmanship seriously, but he could still swing a sword and slash.
When he was young, he had some fights with people, and he knew that strength and speed were the key to winning or losing, Su Ziyu felt that his physical fitness seemed to have become stronger, and the injury on his back was not very painful anyway, and he also wanted to try whether his combat effectiveness had changed. The strange shuttle experience during this time told him that if he wanted to live, he must improve his strength, even if it was just a little bit to increase his hope of survival.
Clang.
The girl looked at Su Ziyu's posture holding the sword with great interest, although it didn't look very standard, but the posture was still very handsome. She circled around Su Ziyu a few times, and lightly blocked the moment he couldn't resist the shot, and then slid forward, and the wooden sword was already on Su Ziyu's neck.
"! Is it so powerful? Su Ziyu didn't see the other party's move clearly, only felt that the wooden sword was blocked and out of position, and then the other party had already put the sword on his neck.
This was killed in seconds, right?
He was a little unconvinced and took a few steps back to swing his sword again, but there was a sudden pain in his wrist, and he couldn't even hold the wooden sword and fell directly to the ground.
Is this girl so powerful?
How do you feel that you have no ability to resist in front of her?
In the room not far away, a tall man named Ken was also observing Su Ziyu's movements, he looked at it for a while and shook his head and said, "He doesn't know how to fight at all." So that his sister doesn't have to test him anymore. ”
Any man in the village is better than him, after all, most of the people in this village are hunters.
Ken turned around and picked up a black short blade, frowning and pondering, the young man next to him asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with this knife?" ”
Never-before-seen black metal, with a strange snake pattern carved into the surface of the hilt, this type of weapon is rare in the north, Ken has only seen similar swords when he was out on adventures when he was younger, and generally those who use this weapon are very fast, and some assassins will only use such short blades as weapons.
Clang.
Ken picked up the black shortblade and slashed at the longsword next to him, then handed it to the young man.
"This ......" The young man's face showed a look of surprise and eagerness, the black short blade was almost unscathed after the two weapons were slashed, but the long sword had already appeared a big gap, if you used force, the black short blade could directly cut off the long sword. Ken's long sword is the kind of standard weapon used by the army, and the quality can be said to be quite good, but it is shattered in front of this black short blade, and the value of this black short blade is probably very high.
"I've never seen anything like this black metal." Ken frowned and said, "It's a bit like the legendary Black Iron." ”
"No matter what."
"The identity of this foreigner is not simple!"
Su Ziyu's injuries recovered quickly, and he was already good on the third day.
I don't know if it's because of some kind of change in his physique, or if the medicine the girl gave him is very effective. However, the experience of suffering during this period of time did make him feel that he had grown up a lot, and he did not have so many opportunities to face life and death decisions in the past, but now in this short ten days, he has escaped death several times, and the whole person has undergone some earth-shaking changes.
Even he learned swordsmanship, although it was only some of the most basic moves, and in Linna's hands, he probably couldn't even go through five moves.
In the past two days, Ken and they no longer restricted the movement of Su Ziyu, and he also met some other people in the village.
What do people in this era say?
looks completely different from what they played on TV, even makeup can't bring out their weathered faces, and the closest to their appearance characteristics is probably the pirates in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, most of the men are bearded, there is a smell of sweat on their bodies, and they can see a mouth full of big yellow teeth when they open their mouths. In the whole village, Lina is the only one with teeth as white as Suziyu, and she is also the only one who can bathe often, which is an alternative behavior in the village. However, the people who live here are quite fierce, and the hunters occupy the vast majority, and I don't know if it is the illusion of Su Ziyu, he feels that this village is a little weird.
Every day he would find Lina to practice swordsmanship for a while, and most of the time he was enjoying the process of being abused.
The days were relatively peaceful.
The grit in the golden hourglass is also decreasing little by little, and Su Ziyu roughly calculated, and it is estimated that there will be six or seven days before the grit in it will run out, and then he will be sent to the next world.
He wanted to take advantage of this time to improve his ability to survive.
It just so happened that many people had nothing to do in the winter, and Lena didn't have to go out hunting, so there was time every day to teach him swordsmanship. It's a pity that the two of them don't understand the language, otherwise he might have learned a little faster.
"Lina is teaching that outlander 'White Crow Swordsman'."
"Don't you care about that?" The young man's voice was tinged with dissatisfaction.
Ken glanced up at the young man in front of him, wiping his long sword while casually saying, "That's her business." If you have a problem, just talk to her yourself. ”
The young man's face turned red when he heard this, not because he didn't want to tell Linna, but because he couldn't beat her at all.
He slammed the door and walked out with some dissatisfaction, and before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at Su Ziyu, who was practicing with the girl, and his eyes were a little gloomy. In this era of sparse population and young people having little choice in finding a mate, Lina is the most beautiful girl in the village, and it is impossible to say that he does not have a little idea. But now she is obviously very close to this stranger, although this stranger is not very strong, but he is handsome, even many women in the village are not as good-looking as him, Linna's attitude towards this stranger makes people feel very uneasy.
Seeing that the girl's attitude towards the outsiders was getting closer and closer, he now regretted very much that he had agreed to her to bring them back to the village.
