A strange blood color lingered on Rosen's fingertips, and the scene in front of him seemed to be soaked in blood. The burning sensation in his eyes was like two craters about to erupt, suppressing and stinging his nerves.
I opened my eyes again, and the ecstasy of pain also disappeared. What came into view was a small low wooden house with a rotten wooden table with short legs in the middle, and five people sitting around it.
The oldest woman looked to be thirty years old. She was wearing a white-washed indigo dress with five conspicuous white rabbit patches on it. Judging from the degree of fading, they were not mended in the same year.
The remaining four people at the table, including Rosen himself, were all children of about twelve or thirteen years old. The linen clothes they wore were also mended and faded after washing.
Time travel is a technical job, Rosen sighed, it seems that this time it is not his fate to be rich and powerful.
What really gave Rosen a headache was that due to the oscillation of time and space during this time travel, he lost some important memories of his original body. Without these memories, it would be difficult to move forward in a strange world.
Rosen tried to recall the people at the table first, in order to recall who he was in a indirect way.
The name of the Bensan woman on Rosen's left is Irene, the adoptive mother who adopted these orphans. Rosen's impression of her is that she is thrifty, so much so that their family can only have one meal of beef every year. Irene is very kind.
Well, he always nags them, hence the nickname "Nagging Maniac".
Next was the thin monkey-like boy, the third child, wearing a chicken hood and showing a childish face. His name was Ada, and he was nicknamed "Speaker". His hobby was to give others nicknames, and the whole family was attracted by him.
Got a nickname.
The shirtless muscular man opposite Rosen is the big brother of the children. He is tall and burly, nicknamed The Rock. He has a bald head and looks a lot like The Rock, and his name also happens to be Johnson.
The lonely girl on the right side of the table is named Jenny. Her oval face is as white as snow, and her body is neatly patched with white rabbit patches. Although her clothes are patched like them, she has a noble temperament that can stand out from the mud.
Therefore, she was nicknamed the princess by the gossips.
Rosen's eyes finally turned to him. Among the four children, he was the most special. Not only were the patches on his clothes different, others had white rabbits, but his had carrots. What was even more different was that his tiger teeth were different.
The longest one, the one that sticks out of the mouth.
Rosen regained some of his memory through insinuations. He tried to hide the exposed tiger fangs with his lower lip so that he would not look like a vampire.
The chicken hood on Ada's head, the two round eyes drooped downwards, Rosen looked up and saw a grinning face: "Fangs, don't put those cute little tiger teeth back, it won't look good.
, and aren’t you panicking?”
Fangs, Rosen's nickname, comes from the two tiger teeth that bite his mouth.
With his fangs covered, Rosen still looks very handsome, with a face as sharp as a knife, and a calmness that shouldn't be there at this age. Exposing his fangs will make him look more evil. This kind of evil looks to Ada
It turned out to be cute, and Rosen couldn't understand it.
Rosen exposed his sharp teeth again. It would be very uncomfortable to hold the sharp teeth in his mouth.
"Today's beef tastes good. I only eat it once a year. I said that the blasted beef is bigger and more flavorful, right?" Johnson smiled with satisfaction and burped. You can see
The tiny muscles in his upper body were squirming.
Although he is only 12 or 13 years old, he has developed muscles that are not inferior to those of adults. Rosen suspected that Johnson might have some kind of rare genetic disease, which makes him congenitally muscular. They are both unwanted children with congenital diseases.
The possibility of illness is not small, so he was abandoned by his parents in an orphanage.
Jenny was still quietly cutting the cooked beef with a knife, using the knife and fork in conjunction with the meal, her movements were meticulous, and even gave people a sense of dignity and beauty. It was hard for Rosen to imagine that her parents could bear to abandon such a naturally beautiful girl.
As for Rosen himself, the reason why he was abandoned by his parents is still unknown, perhaps because the anti-human Hu Ya looks like a monster.
Erin looked around her big family, and a touch of warmth appeared on her face. She nagged in her accustomed tone: "Johnson, you are the boss, you will be responsible for washing the pots later. Rosen, you wash the dishes, and Ada wipes the table."
, Jenny cleans the floor. Remember, you have to move quickly, neatly, and cleanly, without leaving any food residue!"
Even though the same arrangement has been nagged countless times and every family member is familiar with it, she still repeats it after every meal.
It’s as if I’m afraid something will go wrong if I don’t nag.
The children were in a hurry and the dinner on the table was quickly eaten.
The family members began to clean up as arranged. Erin went to the second floor to make the children's beds, and Rosen and Johnson packed up the plates, dishes, and chopsticks and sent them to the kitchen.
In Rosen's memory, the four children came from the same orphanage in the town. Rosen vaguely recalled what happened after being adopted. As for the memories in the orphanage, they were very vague.
Rosen reached out and scooped up a handful of cold water from the barrel, splashed it on the oil-stained plate, grabbed some cleaning powder made from dried acacia seeds and ground it, smeared it on the plate, and took it from the stone table next to it.
Here comes the sanitary ware made of loofah, and rubs it cleanly on the dirty dishes.
"You wash three dishes and give me the rest. Go back to your room and sleep early. The village is not safe after dusk." Johnson said in a big brother's tone. He finished washing the pot first and helped Rosen wash the dishes.
Rosen nodded apologetically. His body memory had not been lost, and his movements were clean and neat, but Johnson was less worried at this time.
Johnson seemed to be afraid of something, and even Erin was afraid, as if there would be some danger in the village after dark. However, the sunset outside the window was quiet and beautiful, giving no premonition of danger.
Rosen couldn't recall much important information.
For example, are there dangers other than humans in this world?
For another example, what is going on with that bloody space that often flashes in front of you?
There seemed to be something in that space, but he couldn't see clearly.
Rosen's eyes hurt again, and the picture in front of him was covered with blood red. This time he saw a rectangular outline made up of a group of black dots in the blood-colored space, which seemed to be a door.
The bloody space flashed away, disappearing along with the pain, as if the moment just now was just an illusion.
Rosen only felt his shoulders sink, and he almost dropped the tableware in his hands. Johnson's dirty hands fell on his shoulders, staining the clothes on his shoulders with dirt.
Rosen's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment, and he reached out to push away Johnson's wet hands, but the latter pointed him to look out the window.
There was a large shadow outside the window, but other than that, I didn't see anything different.
At least from Rosen's perspective, there is no difference.
"I saw a monster's head stuck to the window." Johnson's tone was a little more nervous and he lowered his voice.
"You're wrong." Rosen looked out the window. There were a few jackdaws in the sky, the air was quiet, the breeze blew the willow branches dancing, and the village at dusk had a quiet beauty.
Not to mention any ferocious beasts in this place, not even a single animal hair can be seen.
But even under such circumstances, there was still a huge and ferocious figure that suddenly blocked all the beautiful scenes in front of Rosen.
It was a monster twice as tall as Johnson, with dark skin and a bull's head. It was breathing heavily from its nostrils, humming, and its eyes were blood-red as if in a state of rage!
As soon as the Minotaur appeared, a dark arm that was twice as strong as Johnson's head broke through the window. Rosen could clearly see the ferocious steel-brush-like fur on the dark arm, as well as the powerful cow hooves.
Spread his arms and grab Johnson out of the window like a chicken.
Listening to Johnson's cry for help ringing in his ears and quickly disappearing away, Rosen froze in place, feeling that the peaceful village outside the window was just a bubble and became very unreal.
