Chapter 003: Crossing Over

No

Ah!

The fabric originates from the previously discovered corpse

What Brother Wu said is correct

He is just one person, and dressed like this, he is certainly not a member of the Blue Wolf Gang. Moreover, he is about to enter the city, so having one more person can provide additional company

Dead ... dead person

It is unclear where this place is, but it is evident that it is not very safe. When going out, one carries a knife and a bow. Given my uncle's character, if he wishes to investigate further, he would certainly purchase some protective items

Okay

The man speaking has a robust physique, and surprisingly, he is wearing a short vest in such cold weather. Beside him lies a large knife over one meter long and about the width of a palm.

It is certainly the case; otherwise, how could Uncle be surrounded and killed with a weapon, given his character? He is not someone who mingles in the underworld

The fierce cold wind howls in all directions, causing the strong grasses to bend and the trees to sway violently, as all living beings are awed by this celestial power

Crossing over

The spirit of Fangzheng is resolute

...

He also noticed that there were a few people in the crowd whose gazes were not quite right, but as soon as Brother Wu spoke, they immediately shifted their attention elsewhere

Unconsciously taking a step forward, I found that the seemingly flat ground was unexpectedly uneven, and I fell to the ground involuntarily

As he journeyed on, Fang Zheng had long since become numb and stiff in his limbs, with snow accumulating on his hair and beard, and the breath he exhaled growing weaker and weaker

Everyone nodded repeatedly

"It is ... ..." Fang Zheng and the book were momentarily taken aback, instinctively thinking that the other was referring to the strange pattern, but soon realized that it was not the case

Creak ... ... creak ... ...

The little girl seemed to understand, yet not fully.

... ...

Can you let me in to warm up a bit

By staying here for a total of twelve hours, the mark formed by the bracelet will accumulate sufficient energy, allowing one to return to the place from whence they came

The old man beside the little girl tugged at her, as if reproaching her for meddling in others' affairs

A device used for timing

... ...

What is that hanging on your wrist

Brother Wu spoke again

With wide-open eyes and a face full of terror, it is difficult for anyone to remain calm when such an illogical event occurs, suddenly transforming the environment in which one finds oneself.

Puff puff ... ...

The village resembles a product of the 1940s and 1950s, predominantly featuring adobe walls, with most houses having collapsed. The bonfire originates from a relatively well-preserved earthen dwelling.

"How many... how many people?" Fang Zheng's face turned pale as he cautiously spoke

The people inside did not keep him waiting for long; a steady and deep voice came from the earthen house, nearly bringing tears to Fang Zheng's eyes

There are still nearly eleven hours, which is twenty-two hours, before I can return

The cold is piercing, and the north wind howls

However ... ...

Big brother, please sit over here at m.hetushu.com

The way to get rich that my uncle mentioned on the phone, could it be this?

Elder brother

The sound of a scream echoed

What happened ... ... ?

As Fang Zheng entered the room, he realized that this small space was surprisingly crowded with more than ten people, each huddled around the campfire for warmth

Could it be that I am no longer on Earth, yet why do I speak almost the same words, just with a Lu Yu dialect accent

So ... ...

The bracelet did not simply disappear; rather, it merged into the skin. Although this is quite extraordinary, he accepted it naturally.

The attire and appearance are indeed strikingly different from those of modern individuals

What is a watch

At this moment, he looked on with a scrutinizing gaze, nodding in acknowledgment

A figure stood trembling in the midst of the wind and snow

He can be one hundred percent certain that he has never gotten a tattoo

Come in

... ...

Cold

but rather something else

Twelve double hours

Cold

Fang Zheng nodded, squatting down beside the young girl. The warm campfire began to chase away the chill from his body, also allowing him to relax his spirit.

The dispute in the room was quickly suppressed, clearly indicating that the elder brother held a very high prestige

Oh!

Where is this

Fang Zheng was wrapped in thick burlap, shivering as he trudged through the snow, the winding footprints behind him indicating that he had traveled an unknown distance.

Struggling to rise, he spat out the debris from his mouth. Turning his head, what came into view nearly made Fang Zheng scream in shock

Thank you

In these tumultuous times, it is wise to be cautious when venturing outside. As the old saying goes, one should not flaunt their wealth to avoid disaster. Brother Wu spoke up at the right moment

Previously overlooked, upon closer inspection now, beneath the undulating snow surrounding me, there lie numerous rigid corpses.

No matter where this place is, my primary goal now is to honestly get through each day until I can return.

Let it be like this

With a sudden brightness in his eyes, his confused consciousness regained clarity, and a surge of power welled up within him as he took a step towards the flames.

Swish!

Not long ago, the ruins of a village appeared amidst the wind and snow

Through the open window, one can see the figures swaying inside

The little girl beside me curiously spoke up

Do not blame us for being impolite if you come any closer

Fire

Come

The fire may attract unnecessary trouble, let it burn for another half an hour before extinguishing it, and there isn't much firewood left, we will squeeze together for warmth later

Cough cough

Such a mysterious occurrence actually exists, and it has happened to me.

Have we arrived in ancient times

Shivering, Fang Zheng now lacks even the strength to speak and is reduced to mere images and texts

However

Gulu ... ...

At last, I no longer have to worry about freezing to death

It is so cold that one could almost freeze to death; who has the energy to care about so much?

However, I almost didn't make it!

As for danger

Swallowing a mouthful of cold saliva, Fang Zheng extended his right hand to look at his wrist

The square-shaped eyes contract

He has been walking for nearly two hours, his body is so cold that he is almost losing sensation; if this continues, he is afraid he won't be able to hold on much longer

As the daylight gradually dims, a faint glow of fire can be seen in the distance

Upon careful consideration, this matter is highly likely to be true

watch

It is charging

It is so cold

As thoughts turn, a sudden clarity quietly surfaces in my heart

Accompanied by the sound of drinking, an arrow shot out from the earthen house, embedding itself in front of Fang Zheng, causing him to falter as the arrow's feathers swayed unsteadily.

Beneath the accumulated snow, what had just tripped him was, to his astonishment, a corpse that had already stiffened.

Could it be that the incident involving Uncle Da occurred here

that is to say, those prohibited items

The sound of drinking is heard

Um ... ...

In the scorching summer months of July and August in Qu City, he intended to sleep wearing only a thin pair of shorts, but as the cold wind blew, his skin tightened immediately and he began to shiver all over

In urgent situations, one must act according to necessity. Even though he felt quite embarrassed, in order to avoid freezing to death on the spot, he still "borrowed" a few pieces of hemp clothing to alleviate the immediate crisis

However, in such cold weather, the burlap, which is full of gaps, is clearly insufficient for warmth and - illustrations - books

Stop!

Fang Zheng, feeling naturally restrained, dared not speak much. When the chill in his body became less pronounced, he finally let out a long breath, regaining his composure to reflect on the experiences of the day.

or ... ...

Do the people here not recognize watches

As if recalling something, Fang Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly looked around.

Yes?

Brother Wu

After all, if even time travel can occur, what else is impossible?

How to go back

It is so cold

The gale whirls up the snowflakes, revealing the disheveled hems of clothing, heads, and ankles

Fortunately, there is always a way out for those in despair

The biting cold wind, carrying snowflakes, struck his face and filled his mouth, causing him to swallow back the roar that had risen in his panic

Yes. Fang Zheng hurriedly put down his wrist

Mass Grave Site

Fang Zheng subconsciously raised his hand; although it was invisible, he could clearly feel that the patterns on his wrist were shimmering with a faint light

A little girl in the crowd looked on with curiosity and said softly

He suddenly thought that since his uncle could call him and had prepared things before coming over, it meant that he had indeed gone back

The opposite side is quiet

The bracelet on the wrist has mysteriously vanished, replaced by a circle of peculiar tattoos that are deeply embedded in the flesh

The item in the young man's hand is quite exquisite and should be worth a considerable amount of money; it is best not to display it easily

Not right

Yes

Comfortable

Snowflakes dance in the sky, and the earth is adorned in a silver cloak
