Essence <Xingyue Original Novel>-Chapter 1 of "Alien World"

"Alien World" Volume 1 Chapter 1
When Kou Jiefeng opened his eyes, he felt like he had had a long dream, and his whole body was stimulated by huge pain. He gritted his teeth and finally did not say anything.
His throat felt like it was cracking. He tilted his head and saw a man standing in front of him who seemed to be packing his things with his back to him. "Water..." His lips moved, and he made a sound that was not his own. When the man heard the sound, he obviously didn't understand what he was talking about, but after hearing his hoarse voice, he seemed to understand a little, so he immediately turned back and hurriedly went to fill the water. When the water moistened his peeling lips, moved along his dry mouth, and finally reached his stomach, Kou Jiefeng couldn't help but moan with a sense of satisfaction.
"He's awake, Grandpa, come quickly." The man shouted outside, and then an old man rushed into the house, sat in front of the bed, looked at the unconscious man on the bed, and said with emotion: "Great, great, God of Beasts, finally saved this child."
Kou Jiefeng was confused and couldn't understand what the people in front of him were saying. He knew that it was the two people in front of him who saved him, so he said gratefully: "Thank you." Obviously, the people in front of him didn't understand what he was talking about. The old man pointed outside and said to his little granddaughter: "Go and bring the porridge quickly. This child must be starving."
After eating two large bowls of porridge, Kou Jiefeng finally felt a little stronger. Then he struggled to sit up on the edge of the bed and looked around. The house was very simple and didn't have much, just like the Chinese countryside in the 1960s. I looked down and saw that there were a lot of white cloths tied around my body and there were blood stains on many places. Outside the door, the old man and the little girl were pounding medicine with a stone mortar. Recalling what the two people had said, an ominous feeling came to my mind. I was lucky that I didn't die. Although I didn't know if the mission had been completed, it was obvious that this was not the place in my memory.
When the old man approached with the herbs, Kou Jiefeng finally saw the old man's face clearly, and then collapsed on the bed, cursing: "****, time traveled..." Because the old man's ears turned out to be red fox ears.
Kou Jiefeng's eyes were dull, and he kept mumbling, cursing God. He had read so many time-travel novels, and even though he fantasized about it when he was free, he didn't expect that it would finally happen to him. Forget it, at least I'm not dead yet, accept my fate.
The old man helped him change the dressing, and bandaged the wound with a new clean cloth. Then he dipped a pen in the juice of the medicinal herbs and wrote a lot of unknown words on the cloth. The green light lingered, and Kou Jiefeng almost cried out in comfort. It seemed that the old man was still a doctor. He began to praise his luck. It turned out to be a bit too good. He probably saved many people, and God couldn't bear to let him die. The old man saw that he was conscious and started to ask questions, but it was obvious that neither of them understood what the other was talking about, so they had to stop talking.
The girl outside came in with a basin, said a few words to the old man, and then began to wipe the blood on Kou Jiefeng's body with a soaked handkerchief. Kou Jiefeng had been a soldier for so many years. Except for Aunt Shen and his sister Sun Lele who wiped his face when he was sick when he was a child in the orphanage, he had never been so close to any woman, so his face, which could not be penetrated by bullets, instantly turned red. Looking at the pointed white ears and busy figure of the girl in front of him, this tough guy was so moved that he almost shed tears. Meeting such a gentle girl like his sister and an old man as kind as his grandfather, this life has been worth it.
The days went by like this, and Kou Jiefeng's body gradually recovered. With the old man and his sister taking care of him, he naturally recovered quickly. It is difficult to communicate without a language barrier, but by using gestures, it is easier to understand what the other person is saying. Although his body has not fully recovered, Xiao Kou has also begun to compete with housework and take over all the heavy work at home.Three months later, his body finally no longer needed the medicine and he could move normally. After this period of time, he also learned a lot of simple conversations, but because of his military training and his background in an orphanage, he was not very talkative.
Now he already knows that the kind old man named Kadan Fox is a retired old priest, and the old man's granddaughter is called Dany Fox. They are all orcs from the Fox tribe. This is the Renn Empire in the Western Continent, an orc kingdom. They live in a small village called Bikaro in the eastern part of the continent. Kou Jiefeng was very grateful to the two of them, so he recognized Kadan as his godfather, so he became a brother and sister to Dani. According to the custom here, he changed his name to Jeff Kou Fox. When he asked how he was discovered, the old man's face sank at first. Obviously he didn't want to say anything, but he still told him that he appeared in the fields on the edge of the village with the sound of explosions. He was found by the working villagers and was taken to the old priest's home. When Jeff immediately asked the old man if there were anyone else who survived, the old man told him that he was the only one who survived. Old Cardin was very careful when he said it, as if he was hiding something. Then he told Jeff not to reveal this information to people outside the village, and asked him to put a hood around his ears so that no one could see him. If anyone asked, he would say he was a relative of the Fox family.
Jeff understood that Old Cardin was doing it for his own good, so he hid his doubts in his heart and no longer made it difficult for his grandfather. However, he knew very well that he must have been betrayed at that time. He was lucky to survive, but his comrades did not know what had happened, so he kept cursing the terrorists and the traitors who betrayed him.
Cardin's two sons have died in the war, leaving only his granddaughter and him to depend on each other. Because he once performed sacrifices and could help cure the diseases of the villagers, everyone respected him and sent food and other things from home. Life was okay, but now that Jeff, a big eater, was here, life became tight. Jeff was very moved at first being rescued. He had no nerve to drag others down, so he started going to the mountains to collect firewood, and followed everyone to collect wild animals in the mountains to supplement the family's income. As a result, life gradually improved.
Soon one year has passed, and Jeff has completely integrated into this society. Every time he exercises, he will think of his comrades who are occasionally a little disappointed, but most of the time he lives quite happily, especially when Danni is sweating after the exercise and hands over the towel. Jeff can always be moved by family affection, and sometimes he sighs, hey, he is no longer the Grim Reaper he used to be.
After this year, Jeff's wounds have completely healed, and his body has reached about 80% of its peak. He has gained so much strength that even Luther, the strongest cow tribe in the village, can't compare to him. He always pesters him to teach him how to exercise. The two competed with each other when they had nothing to do, and became good brothers who talked about everything. People in the village love to give whatever delicious food they have to the Fox family. Jeff also loves to help everyone, and his life is pretty good.
On this day, old Kadan took two children and said to them: "Dani has been learning the medical and magical skills of sacrifices from me for several years. When she turns 16 in one year, she can go to the city to take exams and further studies. Jeff, since you are not interested in this, practice martial arts. Then accompany Dani to the city, you can join the city guard and have someone to take care of you." Dani immediately rushed to say: "Grandpa, I don't want to go, I want to stay here to take care of you!" "Old Cardin touched his little granddaughter's head and said kindly: "Silly boy, Miter City is so close to our home. You can come and see me at any time. Everyone in the village will take good care of me. This old man can't drag you down. You have to save many, many people." Jeff said to the old man with a firm face: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister." Old Cardin nodded happily, finally relieved.
In the next year, Dani worked hard to learn the sacrificial knowledge taught by her grandfather, while Jeff worked hard to go hunting in the mountains because he hoped that old Cardin could live a comfortable life after the two of them left. Of course, he did not miss exercise. Now, he had already surpassed his original peak. What surprised him even more was that he felt that the air of this world seemed to be filled with some special elements. These elements would help him strengthen his body when he exercised. If a cultivator appeared here, he would probably be envious of him. This element, in the immortal world, can probably be called immortal energy. Although it is a bit thin, it is hundreds of times better than the polluted air on earth.
Unfortunately, Jeff has not mastered any method of cultivating immortals. He is now using the hard qigong he learned when he was on the periphery of the Dragon Group. However, is this really just hard qigong? No one knows this.
As he exercised, his strength reached a certain level, but he could not feel the upper limit of his strength, so the original weight of fifty kilograms on his body gradually increased to 100 kilograms, then 150 kilograms, and then 200 kilograms. A year later, his weight has reached 500 kilograms, and he can run much faster than others. Now Jeff fully believes in himself. With his current strength, he can definitely join the junior team of the dragon group. Of course, he is still far behind those masters in the dragon group who have special abilities and even magic. But his current level is enough to join the city guard and protect his sister Xiao Dani.
Luther, this big guy, has a bad temper. He heard that Jeff was going to join the city guard and decided to go with him, so he also worked hard to train himself.
The days passed quickly, and Cardin felt that it was almost time, so he rushed his grandson and granddaughter to Mitte City, so Jeff and Dani had to leave their hometown and start a new life. Of course, our Luther is definitely indispensable. To be continued in the next chapter…
