Chapter 1 boarded the bus of time travel

Suddenly, a loud crack sounded from the stone behind him, as if something had shattered upon it. Then, an object rolled down into his arms. Lin Xiao stared at the item in his hands, dumbfounded. It was actually a large gray wild rabbit, plump from the abundant food of late summer.

East of the town lies a mountain range, which is his destination; he must find a way to hunt. At the very least, he needs to gather some wild fruits, or else he will surely starve to death in the end. He is uncertain about the age of the body he has taken over, as it is so emaciated from hunger that it is difficult to judge. However, it cannot be more than thirteen or fourteen years old, as the skeletal structure indicates. With an adult's soul inhabiting a youth's body, which has also been starved for an unknown period, Lin Xiao feels somewhat out of place and will need time to adapt and train.

In a state of mental victory akin to that of Ah Q, he had no choice but to rise and grab the broken bowl and the wooden stick to change his position. The wooden stick? Oh, he was so weak from hunger that he could hardly walk without it for support. After taking just a few steps, several burly men came rushing from the other side of the street. One of them kicked Lin Xiao in the rear and shouted, "Damn it, you beggar dare to block the way of my lord, get lost!" Lin Xiao, weakened by hunger, was barely able to walk, and could not withstand the force of the strong man's kick. He felt a sharp pain in his tailbone and let out a cry, collapsing there.

Looking at the fresh meat still dripping with blood in his hand, Lin Xiao's stomach unexpectedly growled. He closed his eyes and stuffed the raw rabbit meat into his mouth. His brain unconsciously began to chew mechanically, and then he swallowed it down. Although it was nauseating, the slight feeling of fullness in his stomach almost brought him to tears; he realized he wouldn't die after all

The thought of becoming stronger took deep root in his heart; he no longer wanted to live such a life in the future

He bumped himself painfully, yet not a single fruit fell. Lin Xiao cursed and gave up, continuing to move forward. After that, he saw the fruit twice more but couldn't reach it, driving him nearly mad. After walking for such a long time, his body was already very fatigued, so he found a large rock to lean against and rest. The early autumn sun was not too harsh; it warmed him gently without being hot, and it was nice not to have the greenhouse effect.

In the mountains, there are many insects and snakes, and Lin Xiao did not dare to be careless. He now somewhat regretted not bringing that wooden stick. If he were to break another one now, he wouldn't have the strength to do so. He could only pick up a branch about the thickness of a finger to explore as he moved forward. Soon, he spotted bright red fruits, but they were high up on a large tree. If he had the strength, he could have climbed up, but now he had no strength at all and could only stare in frustration. He tried to bump against the tree a few times with his body.

Born in the new China and raised under the red flag, Lin Xiao, who had received over twenty years of atheistic education, never imagined that one day he would board the bus of reincarnation. Looking at his current filthy and tattered beggar's clothes and his emaciated body, he truly felt like crying without tears. He had read plenty of YY novels; how come the characters were either princes or lords, or at the very least, high-ranking officials, while he ended up as a beggar!

Suddenly, he noticed several shiny stones on the ground. The stones were silver in color, with a lustrous surface. Curiously, he picked one up and examined it; it felt heavy in his hand, possessing a metallic texture and hue. Tiny sparkles flickered on its surface, resembling countless stars. Lin Xiao was unsure of what this was, but decided to keep it, as it might fetch a good price. The piece of rabbit fur could also be sold for some money, and together they might be enough to buy a few buns.

With the first bite, he accepted this reality along with the book, tearing off the rabbit's hind leg and devouring it greedily. As he ate, tears streamed down his face; he would never forget this moment. To survive, he resorted to eating raw flesh, resembling a primitive man. Perhaps for the indigenous people of this world, it was nothing significant, but for Lin Xiao, who came from a highly civilized world, it was a trial, a humiliation, much like when he was kicked down by that brute in the town before.

He put away the metal objects and counted them, a total of seven. The largest one was about the size of a ping pong ball, while the smallest was only the size of a grape. Just as he was about to put them away, he noticed a figure appear in front of him. Lin Xiao looked up alertly and was instantly stunned, with only two words in his mind: Immortal

A group of burly men passed by, laughing heartily. Lin Xiao struggled to get up, completely forgetting the pain in his body, only feeling an endless humiliation in his heart. I swear, I will become strong and one day trample this world underfoot! He shouted wildly in his heart, desperately holding back his tears, no longer caring about the broken bowl and wooden stick, driven by an indomitable spirit as he continued to walk towards the outskirts of the town.

With food in hand, Lin Xiao was no longer polite. He found a jagged stone nearby and used it to cut open the rabbit's skin, then sliced off a bloody piece of lean meat from the rabbit's plump thigh. Lin Xiao was neither a special forces soldier, nor a mercenary, and certainly not a beast, so he had never eaten raw meat. The most undercooked meat he had ever eaten was a lamb skewer grilled to medium rare.

The massive rock atop crashed down with a bang, sending fragments sliding down, while the sky echoed with the cries of eagles. The black eagle, having been deprived of its food by Lin Xiao, was unable to catch him and, in a fit of revenge, began to pick up stones to strike the large rock where Lin Xiao was hiding. Unfortunately, this rock was indeed very large, and the few stones it could lift were insufficient to shatter it.

With food in the stomach, there is no panic in the heart. Lin Xiao lay there resting after having eaten his fill. He had completely taken down a large rabbit, leaving only one hind leg. After resting enough, Lin Xiao crawled out, stretched lazily, and scratched a few itchy spots. After skinning the rabbit and removing its entrails, there was still quite a bit of meat left. It seemed sufficient for several meals.

Seeing the black eagle approaching menacingly, Lin Xiao was horrified and summoned all his strength to grab the rabbit and crawl a few meters, squeezing into a depression in a large rock, narrowly avoiding the eagle's attack. This depression was formed between a protrusion of the rock and the ground; fortunately, his body was small and emaciated, otherwise he might not have been able to fit in.

Perhaps there were still young eagles that needed feeding at m.hetushu.com, so the black eagle threw a few more stones but, seeing that it could not achieve its goal, finally flew away. The echoes of the eagle's cries made Lin Xiao feel a sense of dread, and he muttered to himself while burping: "Damn it, a flat-haired beast can really hold a grudge. Fortunately, I am clever; it seems that a beast is still a beast, and no matter what, it cannot compete with the superior beings of humanity."

After feeling dejected for a long time, hunger forced him to temporarily set aside his complaints and confront the issue of food. As a beggar, the source of food was naturally begging. However, with people coming and going on the street, not a single person stopped to throw him a coin or two. He couldn't bring himself to voice his pleas for alms. To make matters worse, there was a restaurant right next to him, and the aroma of the dishes wafting from inside made him swallow repeatedly. Damn it, if he had money, he would definitely order two tables—one to eat and one to throw away!

Is this really what it means to wait by the stump for a hare? Numerous large question marks appeared in Lin Xiao's mind. Just as he was puzzled, a clear cry of an eagle echoed in the sky. Lin Xiao looked up to see a massive black eagle swooping down towards him with its wings spread wide, measuring two meters in length. In an instant, he understood that this hare was actually the prey of the black eagle, which had dropped the hare to the ground to kill it before eating, only to find that he had caught it below.
