Standing on Taiyin Mountain, looking at the area where the Sun Tribe resides, the terrain is low, resembling a deep well. If the murals beneath the desert Stratum are prophetic hints, then when a mountain flood occurs, the entire dwelling of the Sun Tribe will be engulfed.
During the time Xiao Qiang was about to leave, he not only led his people to fill countless small mud pits at Taiyin Mountain Gorge but also killed several Mud Monsters. Messengers traveling between the Sun Tribe and Waji Mountain Tribe brought hyenas and returned with good news: all the Waji Mountain People had migrated to live in the high mountains and caves.
Under Xiao Qiang's leadership, the Sun Tribe also relocated to a spacious area above Taiyin Mountain Gorge, filled with grass and flowers. However, over time, these small groups of residents underwent numerous migrations and changes, transforming their history into another kind of new legendary tale.
Every crossing felt like a nightmare; Xiao Qiang was like a wandering Tianya drifter, much like an Alien Catcher! For that wicked and endless mission, he traveled back and forth along the cycle of reincarnation.
The repeated crossings blurred time, leaving even Xiao Qiang confused. When he awoke once more, he couldn't tell if it was a future world or Post-Century; a vague memory in his mind held a remarkably clear scene.
To express their gratitude, the Sun Tribe organized a vibrant bonfire party. The hospitable and generous men and women of the Sun Tribe seemed to return to primitive times out of excitement. Some were bare-chested, while others wore only a wide belt around their waists to cover their modesty, exposing their plump buttocks and chests. They adorned themselves with something that shimmered like fish scales in the dark, making them particularly eye-catching in the night.
Vapsin informed Xiao Qiang that this was an ancient courtship tradition of the Sun Tribe. If someone had a crush, they would follow the shimmering scales to a quiet place for romantic rendezvous.
The rugged and hearty songs echoed in the night sky as the crackling bonfire burned brightly; yet it could not drown out Xiao Qiang's longing for Lin Yu. With each cup of wine consumed, Vapsin's voice grew fainter in his ears.
He vaguely remembered having casually set up a time machine earlier; when a girl from the Sun Tribe invited him to dance and he declined with just a press of a button. Everything around him swayed before he found himself in this unknown space.
The rumbling wheels rolled on as unfamiliar faces passed by. The temperature was slightly cold; he hugged the time box and turned to look out the train window. No one noticed how this stranger appeared out of nowhere as the train passed through a tunnel.
A handsome young man holding a guitar case caught some attention from several still charming women. One elegantly dressed woman approached him: "Hi there, where are you from?"
Xiao Qiang subtly adjusted his box and pretended to have just woken up, running his hand through his hair as he said, "I think I missed my stop." Seizing the opportunity while she pondered, he quickly changed the subject: "What place is this? What time is it now?"
“Pfft!” The woman laughed, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth as she grinned. “Dongjiawan Station…” She glanced at her watch and added, “It’s 5:35.”
Buzz! What is Dongjiawan? Xiao Qiang felt a wave of confusion wash over him. Reluctantly, he plastered a smile on his face and probed further, “Isn’t the holiday coming up soon?” He thought to himself how ridiculous that sounded.
The woman paused for a moment but then replied, “It’s the year 2062…” Her thick lips were painted bright red, making her look somewhat like a vampire. Fortunately, she had plenty of patience. After answering the dazed young man in front of her, she leaned in closer, her heavily mascaraed eyes fixed on Xiao Qiang. “What’s wrong? Did you really sleep through it?”
Though the woman appeared polished on the outside, her insides told a different story—her yellow teeth and bad breath were hard to ignore. Xiao Qiang slightly turned his head, furrowing his brow as he stammered, “Uh… nothing. I need to use the restroom.”
2062? If Lin Yu had everything go smoothly, she would have already given birth by now. But… for a moment, Xiao Qiang didn’t want to think about the facts he had uncovered during his return from 2080.
However, this time felt different; everything that had happened before seemed like a dream. Now awake in an unfamiliar place, where exactly was Dongjiawan on the map? Xiao Qiang made an excuse to leave the Fat Woman, wanting to get off at the next stop.
The platform was bustling with people. As Xiao Qiang got off the train, he collided with another hurried passenger. The other person looked up slightly and shot him a cold glance that sent shivers down his spine.
This person exuded an intimidating aura. Wearing a black felt hat and a long black coat, their physique made Xiao Qiang suspicious. The train had already started moving; there was no way to get off now, so he decided to follow the man in black who had just brushed past him.
Instinctively, he sensed that this person was not ordinary. He wasn’t human—could it be? No way; werewolves could walk freely in daylight while vampires could not. Yet this individual certainly felt like a vampire; there was no heartbeat or body warmth typical of humans. In that brief moment of collision, Xiao Qiang had sensed it all.
From a distance, the Fat Woman noticed that Xiao Qiang had turned back and cheerfully called out, “Look! I saved you a seat.” Ignoring her completely, he continued to follow the man in black who was about to disappear into another car. “Hey, what’s going on?” To his surprise, the Fat Woman grabbed him like an overzealous sow and shouted, “You heartless bastard! I waited here for you…”
Damn it! The Fat Woman’s interruption immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers. They surrounded Xiao Qiang and the Fat Woman, and the vampire had vanished from sight.
“Don’t get involved; I have nothing to do with her,” Xiao Qiang stammered under the scrutiny of many pointing fingers, feeling his face flush with embarrassment. The more he tried to explain himself, the more suspicious he appeared.
A crew member was called over, and after a thorough check, it turned out that Xiao Qiang had no identification. Damn, he had been careless and ended up in the activity carriage.
He was forcibly taken to the office of the carriage.
"Name."
"Xiao Qiang."
"Home address."
My home? Do I even have a home? Xiao Qiang fell silent, lowering his head and scratching his hair in frustration.
Someone knocked and entered, bringing in a Fat Woman who leaned in close and whispered something to one of the crew members who had asked Xiao Qiang for his ID.
After a moment of hushed conversation, Xiao Qiang caught a glimpse of the Fat Woman handing a stack of money to the crew member. Then there was more murmuring, and the crew member's expression changed as he smiled broadly at Xiao Qiang. "A relative has come to plead on your behalf. This time we'll let it go; you can leave."
As he stood up, he grabbed a notebook they provided and scribbled his name on it. Glancing sideways at the Fat Woman with her strange smile, Xiao Qiang felt uneasy. He would rather stay here than leave with her. "No, you've got it wrong; she's not related to me."
