Chapter 5 Encounter in Another World
Joshua was deeply surprised by the concern of the disciple of Hoya. His down-to-earth attitude was somewhat consistent with the appearance of the disciple in his mind.
Unexpected, but reasonable.
"It's really late now." Joshua didn't feel the weight of his eyelids until this moment, and the rich joy was slightly diluted.
He yawned uncontrollably, held back his sleepiness, turned sideways and pointed at the bunk bed near the wall, and invited:
"Mr. Hoya, I'm sorry, my accommodation is a bit simple, with only a small bunk bed."
Following the guidance of the voice in his head, Xie Liang slowly crossed Joshua and approached the bunk bed. With his back to him, he said without any emotion:
"It's pretty good. I've slept in worse places than this. A bed would be fine."
In the following time, the two of them each chose a bed and prepared to fall asleep. During this process, Joshua couldn't restrain his excitement and chatted with Xie Liang for a few words.
Then, in a satisfied mood, sleep peacefully.
It is worth mentioning that if I woke up once in the middle of the night, it was not because I was awakened by a nightmare.
He woke up naturally, which made Xie Liang suddenly realize that there is a time difference between this world and the earth, but it may also be due to the region.
When Xie Liang woke up again, he woke up under the warm sunshine. The bright golden light penetrated into the house mixed with the noisy hawking outside the window.
Xie Liang sat up from the bed and looked forward with dull eyes. After about a second, he began to come to his senses, put on his clothes and got out of bed.
Xie Liang glanced at the small room. Joshua had already disappeared under the bed, and he was the only one left in the quiet room.
He took two steps forward in confusion and came to the desk. Xie Liang was bathing in the sunshine and listening to the noise coming from the window.
As he watched, Xie Liang glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a piece of paper pressed under the notebook on the desk. It seemed like something was written on it.
He subconsciously leaned over and saw a plate with brown bread, grease, and a glass of warm water that was gradually cooling down on the desk.
Xie Liang took out the paper he had written down and wrote a few words on it that he didn't understand.
Even if he didn't understand the meaning on the paper, Xie Liang could probably guess what Joshua would write. He nodded thoughtfully, his eyes moving back and forth between the food and the paper.
Without paying too much attention, Xie Liang put the paper under the notebook again. He took a breath, opened the back of the bench and sat down. He murmured to himself like someone else:
"What's written on it?"
Xie Liang was alone in the not-too-large room. If there was another person present at this time, he would be like a schizophrenic patient, communicating with another personality he imagined.
"Mr. Hoya, seeing that you are still sleeping soundly, I did not disturb your rest."
"I need to go out and do some things today, so I got up earlier than usual. On the desk is the breakfast I prepared for you."
"By the way! Mr. Hoya, when eating bread, remember to add a little oil, it will make the bread taste better."
"The Lord's most sincere follower: Joshua."
The cheerful and laughing voice sounded in my mind again. It translated all the words on the paper according to Xie Liang's instructions, "This is really a standard fanatical believer, stupid and easy to control!"
Ignoring the criticism in his mind, Xie Liang thought of another question.
He suddenly thought that this was an appointment
The house Shuya rented did not have corresponding toiletries, and he had not taken a shower for several days and felt very uncomfortable.
According to the normal routine of life, Xie Liang usually takes a bath once a day, and the sticky feeling on his body makes him uncomfortable.
Putting breakfast aside for the time being, Xie Liang was now thinking about how to brush his teeth and wash his face.
He got up and left the desk and walked slowly to the door. He had observed as early as last night that there was no independent bathroom in the room.
This resulted in him simply gargling his mouth and splashing water on his face, but he had nowhere to go.
When you have just arrived in a strange place and encounter some problems involving local characteristics, it is right to ask people who understand this aspect.
So Xie Liang stopped at the door and began to ask about the bracelet again, "Where is the washing place here? Do you know?"
The last sentence was made by Xie Liang to arouse the vanity of the thing in the bracelet. He knew that the thing in the bracelet had a certain understanding of this place.
It's possible that the other person has lived here for a while.
"Uh-huh." It was a non-committal tone, and the voice in his mind was leisurely and cheerful. It also gave Xie Liang other science knowledge:
"It's impossible for an apartment of this size to have its own bathroom, unless you can move out and rent a better house."
"But this is impossible, because you don't have a soli, you are just a poor guy pretending to be a magician!"
…
Okay, okay, I know my own situation very well, don’t read it... Xie Liang interrupted the other party’s science popularization in time. God knows when this guy will say:
"Indeed, I left the earth and came here knowing nothing. Your help is crucial to me!"
After complimenting the thing in the bracelet against his will, Xie Liang immediately turned to the whole person, "Then can you guide me to go to the bathroom you mentioned to deal with the facial cleaning problem?"
The voice in my head was very impressed by Xie Liang's compliments, and its cheerful tone became a little more serious:
"I'm happy to help, Mr. Xie Liang!"
Listening to the voice in his head, Xie Liang opened the door of the apartment and looked at the well-lit corridor. There was a lot of sunlight coming in from the window at the end.
Following the guidance of the voice in his head, Xie Liang found the bathroom in the apartment. He took a sip of water from the faucet, rinsed his mouth briefly, put his hands together to take the water and washed his face.
I looked at myself in the broken mirror in the bathroom. Fine water droplets still remained on my face, and my eyebrows also looked bent due to water stains. However, overall, I felt much refreshed.
After doing this, Xie Liang left the bathroom with satisfaction and spent dozens of seconds quickly walking back to Joshua's room.
He pushed open the door and grabbed the newspaper stuck in the door lock. This was an extra step he took to avoid locking himself out.
After all, Xie Liang didn't have the key, and he didn't want Joshua to come back and see him locked out of the door in embarrassment.
Pulling out the backrest bench next to the desk, Xie Liang finally had time to have breakfast.
He tore off a small piece of black bread, soaked it until soft, dipped it in some white and solidified oil and stuffed it into his mouth.
Compared with the black bread last night, I have to say that it tastes better when dipped in oil and has a unique meaty aroma.
Fat arouses appetite, and the fat mixed with bread just provides the body with the necessary fat intake.
After a few minutes, Xie Liang swallowed the last bit of black bread and repeated what he had just said before:
After washing the dishes, return to the room and put them away.
Xie Liang, who had nothing to do, sat back in the chair. He leaned back on the chair, tilted his hind legs and let his head rest.
The tabletop was covered with a "gold veil", and last night's experience was like a projector flashing through my mind.
He, Tu Zhi, and his toy store were wiped off the earth by some force, and then he appeared in a strange place.
Meet people who dress in medieval styles and experience the unique lifestyle and ways of the Middle Ages.
The thoughts in Xie Liang's mind slipped further and further like stepping on a banana peel. He even remembered the experience of opening a store before he knew these people.
At this moment, a mole on Xie Liang's forehead suddenly started to move on its own. Gradually, the mole on his forehead gradually grew larger, and soon, it twisted away from the skin.
An afterimage passed through the air and landed on the desk, right in front of Xie Liang.
Suddenly, Xie Liang's dazed eyes were attracted by the afterimage on the desk.
He stopped rocking the bench, and his eyes that regained his composure reflected the afterimage that fell on the desk.
It was a black cat, its fur as smooth and black as satin reflected a dark luster in the sunlight. It had a pair of cold scarlet eyes, revealing the slightest bit of arrogance.
This is Xue Xuan who left the earth with Xie Liang, and he has just woken up.
"Xue Xuan?" Xie Liang approached the desk in surprise. He thought that Xue Xuan would stay on the earth after he was erased.
At most, they should be erased together with him, and then appear in different places in the world. He really didn't expect that Xue Xuan would appear in front of him!
"Meow?"
Xue Xuan turned his head and glanced at Xie Liang, slightly squinting his eyebrows as if to say: What's the matter?
Without stopping to wait for Xie Liang's reply, Xue Xuan withdrew his gaze and took cat steps. He jumped off the desk and found a place he liked.
Then, Xue Xuan opened his mouth and formed a vortex deep in his throat, and he effortlessly spit out his own cat nest, cat bowl and cat food.
"I thought you stayed on Earth because of this." The surprise on Xie Liang's face softened, and his joy showed. He was speechless and said:
"But this is good, Xue Xuan, are you here specifically to accompany me?"
"Meow!"
Xue Xuan paused as he was about to get into the cat's nest. Hearing Xie Liang's inquiry, he turned around and took a deep look at Xie Liang. Without saying anything more, he continued to turn his head and got into the cat's nest to prepare for sleep.
Is that a look of disgust? Why does it feel like it... Xie Liang wasn't sure if it was his illusion, but he actually saw the helplessness and disgust in Xue Xuan's eyes.
At this time, the thing in the bracelet saw all this, and interjected jokingly:
"It's unimaginable, Mr. Xie Liang, you obviously can't support yourself, but you actually raise a cat?"
"Even now you are living off that fanatical idiot. Cats are really not something you can support at this stage, even if it is an independent and magical cat."
"Right!"
Xie Liang didn't take the voice in his head seriously at all, and any negative words he complained about slipped out of his mind smoothly.
He said "right" because he remembered what he said about the conditions in the bracelet yesterday.
