Chapter 4 Crossing
It was bitterly cold, and the north wind howled.

Snow is flying all over the sky, and the earth is covered with snow.

"Ugh..."

The stern cold wind blew in all directions, the strong grass fell down one after another, the trees shook wildly, and all living beings were frightened by this heavenly power.

A figure stood trembling in the wind and snow.

"This is where?"

"what happened?"

Fangzheng's eyes were wide open, his face was terrified, and the environment he was in suddenly changed. No one could calm down when such an unreasonable thing happened to him.

The cold wind rushed toward his face with snowflakes, pierced into his mouth, and made him growl in panic and swallowed back.

"Cough cough!"

"cold……"

"It's so cold!"

It was hot summer in Qushi in July and August, and when he was going to sleep, he was wearing only a pair of thin shorts, and when the cold wind blew, his skin immediately locked up and his whole body shivered.

Stepping forward subconsciously, the ground that I thought was flat turned out to be bumpy, and I fell to the ground involuntarily.

"Pfft..."

Struggling to get up, spitting out the sundries in his mouth, and looking back, Fangzheng almost screamed when he saw something that came into view.

"Dead...dead!"

But seeing under the snow, what tripped him just now was a stiff corpse.

Do not!
wrong!

As if thinking of something, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and looked around suddenly.

I didn't pay attention before, but now I take a closer look, and under the undulating snow around me, there are all stiff corpses.

The strong wind whipped up snowflakes, revealing messy clothes, heads, and ankles.

Mass Burial?
"what!"

Screams sounded.

*

"crunch...crunch..."

Fangzheng was wrapped in a thick linen cloth, trembling forward in the snow, the winding footprints behind him meant that he had traveled an unknown distance.

The sackcloth came from previously discovered corpses.

No matter how embarrassing he was, in order to avoid freezing to death on the spot, he still 'borrowed' a few sackcloths to save the emergency.

However, in such a cold weather, the sackcloth full of gaps is obviously not enough to keep warm.

Along the way, Fangzheng's limbs were already numb and stiff, his hair and beard were covered with snow, and his breath became weaker and weaker.

"Guru..."

Swallowing the cold saliva, Fangzheng stretched out his right hand to look at his wrist.

The bracelet on the wrist disappeared at some point, replaced by a circle of strange tattoos, which penetrated deep into the flesh.

He can be 100% sure that he has never had a tattoo.

and so……

The bracelet didn't disappear, but blended into the skin. Although it was unbelievable, he accepted it naturally.

After all, even time travel can happen, what else can't happen?
cold!
It’s so cold!

Trembling, Fangzheng didn't even have the strength to speak now.

He had been walking for nearly two hours, and his body was so cold that he almost lost consciousness. If he continued like this, he might not last long.

Fortunately, the sky is endless.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, a faint fire could be seen in the distance.

fire!
Fangzheng's eyes lit up, his confused consciousness regained consciousness, and a force surged in his body, and he ran towards the fire with his legs open.

As for the danger...

I'm almost freezing to death, so why bother with so much?

Not long before, the ruins of a village appeared in the wind and snow.

The village is somewhat like a product of the 50s and [-]s, with mud walls and most of the houses collapsed. The bonfire came from a relatively well-preserved earthen house.

Through the open window sash, one can see the shadows shaking inside.

"stop!"

The shouting sounded:

"Don't blame us for being rude!"

"Shh!"

Accompanied by the sound of shouting, an arrow shot out from the earthen house and pierced in front of Fang Zheng's body. The flickering of the arrow feather also made him stagnate.

"How many... how many people." Fang's face was pale, and he said cautiously:
"Can you let me go in and warm myself?"

Quiet on the other side.

"come in."

The people inside didn't keep him waiting for a long time. A calm and heavy voice came from the earthen house, which almost brought tears to Fangzheng's eyes.

"Brother Wu!"

"He's just one person, still dressed like this, he's definitely not the Qinglang Gang, and he's about to enter the city soon, one more person can also have one more companion."

"But……"

"So be it!"

The dispute in the room was suppressed in an instant, and it was obvious that the eldest brother had a very high prestige.

When Fangzheng walked into the house, he realized that the small place was crowded with more than a dozen people, all huddled around the campfire to keep warm.

The elder brother who spoke was sturdy, wearing a short jacket in such a cold day, and beside him was a big knife with a palm width of more than one meter and a length of one meter.

At this time, he was looking at it with scrutiny and nodded.

"Come."

A little girl in the crowd looked curiously and said in a low voice:

"Big Brother, sit by my side."

The old man next to the little girl tugged her, as if accusing her of being nosy.

"Thank you."

Fangzheng nodded, and squatted down beside the little girl. The warm bonfire began to drive away the chill from his body and relax him.

Comfortable!

Finally, there is no need to worry about freezing to death!

Brother Angkor spoke again:
"The fire may cause unnecessary trouble, and it will be extinguished after half an hour of burning, and there is not much firewood, so we will squeeze together to keep warm."

"Ok."

"Yes."

Everyone nodded.

Naturally, Fangzheng didn't dare to say much, and he let out a long sigh of relief when the chill on his body was no longer so obvious, and regained his energy to review today's experience.

cross!

This kind of mysterious thing actually happened, and it happened to me.

But almost didn't get killed!

Ok?
Couldn't that be the way to get rich that the uncle talked about on the phone?
Fang Zheng's spirit froze.

If you think about it carefully, there are nine out of ten chances of this happening!
I don't know where it is, but it's obviously not very safe. He still carries a knife and a bow when he goes out. With his uncle's character, if he wants to investigate deeply, he will definitely buy some protective items.

Namely those 'contraband'.

'Uncle, could it be that something happened here? '

'It must be, otherwise how could he be surrounded and killed with a sharp weapon with his uncle's character, and he is not a gangster. '

Well……

Fangzheng's eyes narrowed.

He suddenly thought, since the uncle can call himself and come over after preparing things, doesn't it mean that he has gone back.

How did you go back?
As the thought turned, a sense of enlightenment quietly surfaced in my heart.

Twelve hours!
As long as you stay here for twelve hours, the imprint of the bracelet can accumulate enough energy, and then you can return to the place you came from.

Fangzheng raised his hand subconsciously. Although he couldn't see it, he could clearly feel the lines on his wrist shimmering.

It's charging!

There are still nearly eleven hours left, which is 22 hours, before you can go back.

"Big brother."

The little girl next to her said curiously:
"What's that on your wrist?"

"Yes..." Fangzheng was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously thinking that the other party was talking about the weird pattern, but he realized it was not in an instant.

But something else.

"watch."

"What is a watch?"

"Something for timing."

"Oh!"

The little girl seemed to understand but not understand.

"Nowadays the war is in turmoil, it's better to be careful when you go out. As the old saying goes, if you don't reveal your wealth, you can avoid disaster." Brother Ang said at the right time:
"The thing in the hands of the little brother is very delicate, and it should be worth a lot of money. It's best not to show it lightly."

"Yes." Fangzheng hastily lowered his wrist:

"What Brother Ang said is true."

He also noticed that some people in the crowd had wrong eyes, but after Brother Angkor spoke, he immediately looked away.

People here don't know watches?
Could it be that I am no longer on Earth, but why did I speak the same words, but with an accent from the Luyu region?

or……

Did it come to ancient times?

Looking at the dress, it is indeed quite different from modern people.

but,

No matter where it is, my primary goal now is to spend the day honestly until I can go back.
