On the earthen bed in front of him, a woman was curled up, staring at him trembling.
On the ground in front of the pit, lay a man whose flesh was mangled and bloody; he was probably already dead.
Li Yao immediately understood. It just so happened that he fell from the sky and landed on the man, killing the unfortunate man.
"What a coincidence!"
Li Yao quickly turned around and apologized repeatedly, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The woman did not respond. Li Yao only heard a rustling sound behind him, presumably the woman was getting dressed.
After a moment, Li Yao sensed that there was no more movement behind him, so he said, "Are you dressed? I'm turning around."
However, the woman behind him said something he could hardly understand.
Li Yao couldn't help but wonder which world he had transmigrated to, and why the woman's words were so obscure and difficult to understand.
Unfortunately, each time he traveled through time, the system never gave him a clear indication of which world he was going to.
He could determine which world he was in by observing the characters and locations in the world.
However, the woman's speech is so difficult to understand that it's impossible to communicate with her.
What should we do?
Fortunately, he also has the language attribute provided by the system, so he should be able to learn the language of this world quickly.
Language attributes are hidden attributes.
Li Yao's language attribute has now reached 680 points, making his language talent more than six times that of an average person.
Therefore, by communicating with the woman through gestures, he quickly mastered the language of the era and was able to communicate with her smoothly.
Then, Li Yao asked the woman, "What dynasty is it now? Who is the emperor?"
This is a crucial question. Once he figured out what dynasty it is, he could roughly determine what kind of world it is.
Unfortunately, the woman shook her head blankly and said, "I don't know!"
Li Yao's face twitched, and he had no choice but to ask, "You must know where this place is, right?"
The woman nodded and said, "This is Sanglin Village."
"Sanglin Village?"
A thought struck Li Yao: Could this be the world of A Step into the Past?
Then Li Yao asked again, "What's your name?"
The woman replied, "I have no name; the people of Sanglin Village call me Beautiful Silkworm Girl."
"Beautiful Silkworm Girl!"
"This is indeed the world of A Step into the Past."
"So, the person I just killed was...?"
Li Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shifted his gaze to the unlucky guy on the ground.
Although the unfortunate guy had been smashed to a bloody pulp, his appearance was still clearly visible.
The unfortunate man looked very young, with dark skin, a tall stature, well-developed muscles, and a square face that was quite handsome.
It's quite obvious that this unlucky guy is most likely Xiang Shaolong.
So Li Yao pointed at the unlucky guy on the ground and asked, "Who is this person to you?"
The beautiful silkworm girl's face darkened, and she said, "He is my husband."
Li Yao frowned, thinking to himself: Is this unlucky guy her husband? Or am I wrong? Isn't he Xiang Shaolong?
With that question in mind, Li Yao asked again, "What's his name?"
The beautiful silkworm maiden said, "His name is Xiang Shaolong. A few days ago, just like you, he suddenly fell from the sky, so I took him as my husband."
Li Yao was relieved.
This unlucky fellow was indeed Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong can be considered the most tragic time traveler in history.
Not long after he transmigrated to ancient times, he was crushed to death by another transmigrator who fell from the sky.
That's so tragic!
Li Yao found a piece of burlap and covered the unfortunate Xiang Shaolong with it.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there were actually several attribute light orbs next to Xiang Shaolong.
He quickly scanned the area with his eyes.
"Ding! Successfully acquired the 'Comprehension' attribute, Comprehension +8!"
"Ding! Successfully acquired the 'Physique' attribute, Physique +18!"
...
"Ding! Successfully collected 'Luck Points', Luck +666!"
"Luck +666!"
"Did I hear that right?!"
Li Yao was greatly surprised.
He quickly immersed his consciousness into his sea of consciousness, brought up his attribute panel, and took a closer look.
Sure enough, his luck increased by 666 points.
He never expected that by smashing Xiang Shaolong to death, he would suddenly gain 666 points of luck.
This person's luck is pretty good!
It seems that Xiang Shaolong's luck is truly off the charts.
Actually, upon closer reflection, it's not surprising at all.
Firstly, as the leading protagonist in the world of A Step into the Past, Xiang Shaolong's luck is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people.
Secondly, as a transmigrator, Xiang Shaolong's luck was greatly enhanced.
However, no matter how incredibly lucky Xiang Shaolong was, he encountered Li Yao, whose luck was even more incredible, and in the end, he was tragically killed by Li Yao.
Chapter 34 Brothers in Misfortune, Swatting a Fly
After collecting all the attribute orbs, Li Yao stood up, looked at Xiang Shaolong lying on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh apologetically.
Then he asked the silkworm girl, "Do you have any tools for digging? I want to bury him."
The beautiful silkworm girl nodded: "Yes!"
Then, she took out a tool that looked like a shovel and said, "Bury Shaolong in the mulberry grove."
Although Xiang Shaolong was killed by Li Yao, and Meican Niang regarded Xiang Shaolong as her husband.
However, Meican Niang's feelings for Xiang Shaolong were not very deep.
Therefore, she did not show much sadness.
Besides, Li Yao fell from the sky and accidentally killed Xiang Shaolong, so Li Yao cannot be blamed.
Li Yao moved Xiang Shaolong's body to the mulberry grove, and then began digging a pit in the ground with a shovel-like tool.
He noticed a patch of ground that looked like it had been recently disturbed.
Then, he remembered a scene from the original novel.
In the original novel, after Xiang Shaolong was sent to this world by the time machine, he fell from the sky and just happened to kill Jiao Du, the bully who was about to defile the beautiful silkworm girl.
Later, the beautiful silkworm girl buried the charred corpse in the mulberry grove.
In this sense, Xiang Shaolong's experience is remarkably similar to that of the bully Jiao Du.
They were all crushed to death by the time travelers who fell from the sky.
Now, they are buried in the same place, becoming fertilizer for this mulberry grove.
These two unfortunate brothers share such similar and tragic fates.
"Xiang Shaolong, I'm really sorry, it wasn't that I wanted to smash you to death, it was the system that did it."
"If you want to blame someone, blame the system."
"Luckily, you still have Jiao Du here. If you feel itchy or resentful, you can give Jiao Du a good beating to vent your anger."
"Now, rest in peace here."
Li Yao said apologetically.
He carved a wooden tablet for Xiang Shaolong using a simple wooden board, as a final resting place for Xiang Shaolong.
After burying Xiang Shaolong, Li Yao asked the beautiful silkworm girl, "Do you know how to get to the nearest market town?"
The beautiful silkworm girl nodded and said, "I know."
Li Yao said, "Will you take me to the market town?"
Mei Can Niang hesitated for a moment and said, "You want to leave me? No, my husband was just killed by you. I have no husband now, and you are my husband now."
Li Yao's face immediately darkened. Were women in the pre-Qin period all so open-minded?
Li Yao quickly shook his head and said, "I cannot be your husband."
The beautiful silkworm girl asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Li Yao said, "I like living in the city, are you okay with that?"
The beautiful silkworm maiden shook her head and said, "The people in the city are too cunning. I don't want to live in the city."
Li Yao thought to himself: I knew you would say that.
However, he said, "So, we're not on the same path. If you take me to the market town, I'll give you a reward."
After pondering for a moment, the beautiful silkworm maiden finally nodded and said, "Alright then."
