Chapter 2: The Hourglass of Time 2

"It's so fucking cold!"

Su Ziyu rarely swears, but recently he feels that swearing is quite refreshing, which can calm his irritable mood a little.

He felt a little stiff all over his body now, as if he had arrived in cold Siberia in a single coat, and to be honest, he didn't know how long he could last, but after being held in a cage by those xenos as pets for six days, he didn't have any suicidal thoughts in his head.

People die and birds rise to the sky, and they do not die for thousands of years.

It may be that the first half of his life was too peaceful, and he was a little weak at the beginning, and the thought of simply committing suicide appeared in his mind more than once. It may be that the aliens' abuse of him has inspired a ruthlessness in his heart, and he doesn't know when he will suddenly not be afraid of death.

In the end, the knife that killed the leader of the xenomorphs, as long as he made a slight mistake, he would die.

But.

It's so fucking cool!

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

"It would be a bit funny if you didn't die at the hands of those snake people, but instead froze to death." The wound on his back was already freezing and there was no pain, and the heat in Su Ziyu's body was lost quickly, according to his own estimate, if he couldn't find a warm place, he wouldn't be able to survive tonight.

I don't know how long I walked, but Su Ziyu's eyes suddenly opened up a lot.

"It's ...... Road!? ……”

Although it is only the most primitive dirt road, but the road in front of you is still very different from the surrounding primitive environment, this must be the road opened up by humans, or some other intelligent creatures, after seeing those alien people who were named snake people, Su Ziyu felt that it would not be strange to encounter anything again.

It's too cold.

You have to find a warm place, or you will freeze to death soon.

Suziyu ate a little snow on the side of the road to replenish his water, silently calculated his remaining physical strength, and began to gradually speed up. The biting cold wind slowed his reflexes slightly, his lips cracked with cold, and he didn't know when a layer of hoarfrost had formed on his eyebrows.

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

It was a very strange ethereal state, the whole person only knew how to move forward mechanically, he obviously felt that his body was close to a dying state, but he didn't know why he wasn't afraid at all, and even wanted to laugh a little inexplicably, but he couldn't laugh at all now, because his face was frozen.

Finally.

After climbing over 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 couldn't help but speed up his pace, but at this moment, he suddenly felt something stumble under his feet.

He fell.

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

Are you going to die?

I'm so tired!

Die and die. Anyway, I'm alone, I'm not a virgin for a long time, and I've driven the car I should have driven, so I have nothing to worry about. I just don't know if anyone will adopt my little orange, if it is so fat and becomes a stray cat, it will definitely be very pitiful......

Wait a minute!

Who's helping me up?

A burst of cranky thoughts seemed to exhaust Su Ziyu's last spirit, and his whole person fell into darkness.

"Water! ……”

I don't know how long it took, Su Ziyu finally regained consciousness, he felt very thirsty, his throat was hot and painful, but no one handed him water, and after the initial confusion, he quickly woke up.

Su Ziyu glanced around, obviously relieved.

OK.

This time it's not in a cage.

He seemed to be lying on the bed, without clothes, but his body was covered with a heavy and soft fur, and there was a crackling sound of firewood burning next to him, and there was a burst of warmth, his body was still a little stiff, and there was a hot pain in his back, and he felt that his whole back was already a little painful and numb. When he woke up, the sound seemed to alarm the people outside, and soon there was a sound of footsteps, two heavy and one light, and one footstep was particularly heavy, and then he saw two men and one woman pushing the door and three humans pushing the door and walking in, the man at the head was tall and close to two meters or so, and his eyes were vigilant and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"#@%#¥#%%@......" he looked at Su Ziyu and said a word.

Finished.

It's a language barrier again, but fortunately, it's a human being this time.

Su Ziyu has never felt so close to humans, although the other party is obviously a Caucasian skin color characteristics, but after seeing the snake man for so many days, he really feels very kind.

"Hello."

“hello!”

"Can you give me a drink? I'm dying of thirst! ……”

The other party obviously didn't understand his words, but fortunately, everyone is human, and they can finally try to communicate, after Su Ziyu gestured, the human being led by Su Ziyu finally understood, he reached out and handed him a kettle on the table, but his right hand was always pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Thank you."

“thank you!”

He poured a stomach of water, so that he had the energy to observe everything in front of him, the three humans in front of him were all Caucasians, but they couldn't understand English, and they looked like ancient people, and the man at the head was wearing a leather armor. The two people next to him were slightly younger, the young man on the left was examining him, and the girl on the right was full of curiosity, as if it was the first time to see a human of his color.

"Thank you."

"Thank you for saving me, and I will repay you." Although the other party couldn't understand his words at all, human beings could communicate more or less internally.

At least they knew that Su Ziyu had no malicious intent, and the man in charge also removed his right hand from the hilt of his sword.

"Sue."

“su。” Su Ziyu pointed to himself, and then leaned on the side of the bed a little weakly and stretched out his right hand.

The man in the lead seemed to understand what he meant, but he didn't shake hands with Su Ziyu, but held the crook of his arm with his hand, and the elbows of the two touched lightly.

“ken。” The leader man said a Ken-like pronunciation, then pointed at himself.

The facial expressions and vocal cord pronunciation of human beings are somewhat similar, and Su Ziyu is not as difficult to communicate with the other party as the snake man, at least he can't hear the snake man's voice at all, and he can't judge the other party's expression preferences at all.

He's in terrible pain all over his body right now.

Someone should have drugged him, he touched his back and felt something similar to herbs, there seemed to be few intact pieces of skin on his back, those snake people were ruthless, Su Ziyu had never been beaten so badly in his life.

The three men in front of him walked out, and as he closed the door, he heard the sound of a lock.

The other party is still wary of outsiders.

But at this time, Su Ziyu didn't have the energy to think so much, and he really needed to take a good rest.

Outside the gates.

Just as the Suziyu lay down again, the three humans outside also began to communicate, and the language they used was somewhat close to Old Norse, a language that uses the Rune script, the language of Norse mythology, and the pronunciation is very different from English, but there are some similar syllables.

"This man may be an exiled nobleman."

The man at the head said in a deep voice: "He has no other wounds on his body except those whip marks, and there are no calluses on his hands and feet, so he looks like he has not experienced any physical labor." ”

"I've seen people of his skin when I've gone on adventures in the East, but they don't look much like him."

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

The body raised by the material conditions of modern society is still quite different from these aborigines, even the skin of that girl is not necessarily as delicate as that of Su Ziyu, not to mention that the aborigines of this world need to engage in heavy physical labor. The difference between Su Ziyu and others is like a photo of a modern person compared to the photos of ordinary people in the Republic of China, and his demeanor and temperament are very different, I am afraid that only the rich and noble children of the Republic of China have such a look. The man at the head not only thinks that he is a nobleman, but also most likely a nobleman of not low status.

But he didn't understand why a nobleman of no low status would suddenly appear in such a poor and remote place as Beifeng County.

It takes three or four days to walk to the nearest city, and there are hardly any outsiders in sight, even businessmen come here only once every six months.

"Aristocrats?"

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

The girl next to her couldn't help glaring at him when she heard this, and said with a slightly angry expression: "I picked him up." It's my booty. You are not allowed to touch him! ”

With that, she flashed the dagger at her waist.

When I came back from hunting, I picked up a man on the side of the road, and he was still a nobleman, and 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 reappear. I don't want to see any trouble. The man at the head glared at them, and then pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and walked towards the watchtower, where there were dozens of people outside, all talking about the foreign man that the girl had picked up.

But in any case, Su Ziyu is still a human being, and their attitude is not very bad.
