Chapter 4 I am the Fool

"It's over. Isn't this kid I saved a fool? Why did he suddenly become so cunning?" The old hunter looked at Lu Xiuyuan in disbelief, as if he was more certain of his judgment that this kid was indeed a fool.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the old hunter with an expression of disbelief and guessed that the communication between them was not smooth.

"My God, I finally got a chance to travel through time, but how come this low-probability event that happens once in a hundred years for ordinary people didn't allow me to awaken any talent or system? The simplest thing is that the whole world is speaking Chinese, so how come it doesn't work?" Lu Xiuyuan said in his heart.

Lu Xiuyuan listened carefully to what the old hunter said again, observed his expression and gestures, and tried to identify the language he was using, but he could not understand the language he was using.

But it is definitely not English, nor Japanese, nor Korean. This is a difficult thing. I can't understand the language and can't even communicate in the simplest way. How can I figure out how I got here, what happened to me suddenly traveling through time, and how should I get home?

Thinking of this, Lu Xiuyuan's head was getting bigger and bigger. He comforted himself, "Fortunately, there are still humans in this world. If there were no humans, I would be in great pain."

Thinking of this, Lu Xiuyuan felt that since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. He could talk about the ins and outs of the matter after he recovered. Whether he could go home or not would also be discussed later. The most urgent thing was to have a good sleep first, and then to heal his legs. As for other complicated things, he didn't want to think about them for now. There will always be a way when you reach the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. He can talk about all this later.

After figuring this out, Lu Xiuyuan was no longer dejected. He smiled at the old hunter and put his hands together under his head, indicating that he was going to sleep.

The old hunter looked at his gestures and seemed to understand what he meant, so he got up from the bed, walked to the wall, took out a fur blanket, put the hay on the ground, and then carefully spread the fur blanket on the hay. Then he blew out the candle, and the room fell into darkness. Lu Xiuyuan slowly closed his eyes and felt the warmth brought by the hay under the blanket.

Although the environment was simple, he felt a sense of security in this strange world. In the darkness, he could hear the old hunter's gentle breathing. This kind old grandfather became his only support in this strange world.

The night passed quickly, and the next day arrived as expected. Lu Xiuyuan opened his eyes and found that the sun had already shone in through the small window. The sun shone gently on his body through the small window, and the cabin was filled with a fresh scent.

Lu Xiuyuan felt refreshed after a good night's sleep. He stretched his muscles gently and found that his body was no longer as heavy as it was yesterday. The hay and animal skin blanket under the bed were gone. It was obvious that the old hunter must have left early to prepare breakfast or go hunting.

Lu Xiuyuan half sat up, stretched easily, and tried to move his injured right leg. To his delight, the pain in his leg was significantly relieved, and the wound had scabbed over, and he was recovering quite well.

Soon the old hunter opened the door of the cabin, holding a pink rabbit in his hand. The rabbit had unusually large ears, its fur was pink like clouds, and its body was twice as big as an ordinary rabbit. A sharp arrow was stuck in its body. The old hunter leisurely placed the rabbit on the table, holding a dagger and skillfully began to skin it. The fresh rabbit skin was hung outside the door.

The dagger danced in the old hunter's hand, and he skillfully and quickly cut the rabbit into pieces of fresh meat. The old hunter demonstrated his superb hunting skills, and everything seemed so natural and orderly.

Then the old hunter skillfully took out a pile of hay, walked to the extinguished fire, struck two flints, and the sparks ignited the hay, which then lit a bonfire. The old hunter took out a pot and placed it on the fire, put in the cut rabbit meat, took out a cloth bag and poured out some rice, added water and boiled it, added some seasoning, and a bowl of steaming rabbit porridge was ready.

The old hunter kindly poured the cooked rabbit porridge into a bowl and handed it to me. I took the bowl and looked at the steaming rabbit porridge, and a wave of gratitude surged in my heart. Although the porridge in the bowl was bland and tasted hard to describe, the calories, carbohydrates and protein provided by the rabbit porridge were essential for my recovery from injuries.

In no time, I finished the rabbit porridge in the bowl. The hot porridge immediately filled my stomach and brought a sense of warmth. It may taste bland, but in this unfamiliar environment, this bowl of rabbit porridge is like a precious delicacy. After eating, I handed the empty bowl back to the old hunter, with a satisfied and grateful expression on my face.

In the next few days, under the careful care of the old hunter, I was able to get out of bed and walk. Although I was still limping, at least I was able to take care of myself.

At the same time, I also tried hard to learn the old hunter's language, and managed to utter a few words. Whenever I struggled to express my ideas, the old hunter had a kind expression, but there was always a kind of pity in his eyes, as if he was looking at me helplessly.

But the good news is that the old hunter did not drive Lu Xiuyuan out of the house just because he was a "fool" when his leg injury healed. Every day when the old hunter went hunting, he would bring in some strange creatures that Lu Xiuyuan had never seen before.

All these creatures entered the stomachs of Lu Xiuyuan and the old hunter without exception. Although they all tasted like meat, the strange taste of these creatures was something Lu Xiuyuan had never tasted before. The old hunter thought that he was starving these days, so he always gave the bulk of the food to Lu Xiuyuan. After each feast, Lu Xiuyuan felt ashamed, but he really couldn't resist the delicious food.

In the following life, Lu Xiuyuan took on the responsibility of guarding the house. Every morning, the old hunter left the cabin with hunting gear on his back and began his hunting journey. Lu Xiuyuan would do rehabilitation exercises at the door of his house while guarding the cabin.

Lu Xiuyuan's daily life became orderly, cleaning and tidying up the cabin every day to keep it tidy. At the same time, Lu Xiuyuan also actively adapted to the environment of this world, carefully observing the plants and animals around him, and trying to identify their characteristics and habits.

Lu Xiuyuan gradually became familiar with this strange land. The dense trees formed a dense canopy under the sunlight, casting mottled shadows and outlining a picture of swaying tree shadows.

This should be an evergreen broad-leaved forest, filled with the breath of various creatures, and small animals nimbly shuttled between the trees, forming a lively picture. Some animals seemed familiar, such as those big-eared rabbits, which shuttled quickly among the trees, sometimes jumping, and sometimes leisurely foraging.

However, there are some creatures in this forest that Lu Xiuyuan has never seen before. They have different shapes and form an alien ecosystem. Lu Xiuyuan observes this environment that is completely different from the world he is used to with curious eyes, hoping to find some clues, but he always has no clues.

Lu Xiuyuan thought it would be good to stay here with the old hunter. Although he would be treated as a fool, at least he would not be hungry or cold. The peaceful days could have gone on peacefully, but on this day, something unexpected happened.
