In my past life, when reading novels on native soil.
Xu Yun once read a work called "The Sword of Eight-Five," which had a scene that deeply impressed him, and that was.....
The male protagonist was dug out of a coffin at the start.
It turned out unexpectedly.
Just reaching the third dungeon, he actually experienced this sort of ’main character treatnt’?
He’s no satellite elite...
Moreover, if he rembers correctly.
In Little Niu’s dungeon, he fell from a tree.
In the Northern Song dungeon, he erged from a well.
In this unknown dungeon, he was dug out from the ground.
So we’ve covered land, sea, and air...
However, just as Xu Yun was internally mocking himself.
The young man on the ground suddenly reacted, flipping the shovel and assuming a defensive stance like holding a tennis racket:
"You... you’re not dead?"
Upon hearing this, thoughts flickered rapidly in Xu Yun’s mind:
He spoke fluent English, though still so distance from modern English, but the difference was minimal.
Compared to Little Niu’s dungeon, the grammar is closer to the 21st-century English phonetics.
In other words....
This era seems to be after Little Niu?
Aside from that, Xu Yun also noticed.
Although the sky was sowhat dark, and it was hard to see the other person’s detailed appearance, he used ’thn’ instead of ’you’ in his speech.
This is a very typical Scottish slang, which Xu Yun had so understanding of during his exchange student days in the United Kingdom.
This kind of slang is quite local just like "cuckoo" and "mmp" in Sichuan dialect, having a very strong regional character.
Considering the habits of the Halo missions, his target this ti is either within Scotland or is a native of Scotland.
There are too many people who et the forr criterion to judge, but if it’s the latter...
In the history of Scotland, there aren’t many famous scientists, you can count them on one hand—not taphorically, but really one hand:
Jas Watt, who improved the steam engine.
Maxwell, the second unifier in the history of physics.
Fleming, who discovered penicillin.
Bell, who invented the telephone.
And Keith Campbell, who cloned Dolly the Sheep.
That’s right.
Just these five, if you’re the Six-fingered Piano Demon, there’s still one finger left.
At the sa ti, the last Keith Campbell can be excluded—he is unquestionably a modern person, born only two years before Tian Liangwei.
Although this boss passed away in 2012, as a biology student, Xu Yun had watched his lecture videos many tis.
It can be confird that his accent is a very standard modern English.
Apart from these individuals.
The only other notable figures in Scottish history are Conan Doyle, who wrote the "Sherlock Hols" series, and Adam Smith, author of "The Wealth of Nations."
It might be due to the feng shui.
Although Scotland takes up a third of Great Britain, it hasn’t produced many historically important figures.
In contrast, England has several tis as many famous individuals since the late 17th century compared to Scotland.
Of course.
This doesn’t necessarily an that the young man above must be one of those famous people, just like in the Northern Song dungeon, the first person Xu Yun t was Old Chief Steward Xie.
In the turning of thoughts.
Xu Yun put on a listless posture, weakly waving his hand toward the other:
"Of... of course I’m not dead, just fainted."
Having closely interacted with the gravely wounded Wang Yue in the Northern Song dungeon, his acting as a half-dead person was quite convincing, able to outperform most young actors.
Coupled with that young man’s lack of experience, he wasn’t very guarded and believed Xu Yun’s words, a realization dawning on his face.
He scratched his head and said:
"Oh... we saw you lying by the roadside with no breathing and thought you were dead."
"We thought leaving you exposed in the wilderness was too tragic, so we wanted to dig a hole and bury you, which is better than having an incomplete corpse in the wild..."
Xu Yun’s mouth twitched slightly:
".....Then I must thank you."
Afterward, the young man observed Xu Yun carefully once more and asked:
"Sir, can you stand up? Do you need a hand?"
Hearing this, Xu Yun quickly cald down, feeling his limbs simply.
Finding that other than a slight twinge in the upper part of his left arm, his body was generally in good shape and there was no critical bleeding point.
So he soon shook off the dirt on his body and stood up from the pit.
The depth of this ’grave’ was only about a ter, so when Xu Yun stood up, his view imdiately brightened and beca much broader, allowing him to see the young man’s face clearly.
This young man looked about 20 years old, with a long face, slightly droopy eyes, and a very high hairline.
Additionally, his skin wasn’t well-maintained, with so freckles on his face, giving him a wild beauty.
At this ti, they were in a forest, with a cart parked nearby, appearing to be passing travelers.
Seeing Xu Yun stand up from the pit, the young man reached out his hand quite friendly:
"Co on."
"Thank you."
Drawing a bit of strength from the man’s arm, Xu Yun, supporting himself a bit with the other hand on the ground, climbed out of the pit without much effort.
Afterward, the young man bent down and used the shovel to dig out a bundle from the pit, handing it to Xu Yun:
