Chapter 36 - Some Good Samaritans
A five year old kid was following her mother through a river bank jumping and singing a rhyme every now and then.
Suddenly the child had a weird feeling and looked to the side and noticed a body floating in the river and she screamed
" mother look.. look there is a dead body floating in the river ..."
The mother looked towards the direction in which the child was pointing at....
Mother reprimanded " Yue yan don't scream such nonsense ... we don't know whether its a dead body "
The mother pressed on her wrist watch and after a few seconds an old man's 3D image appeared above the watch.
" Father there is someone in the river , I think the person was hurt badly by some wild beast and tried to escape into the river . He has probably lost consciousness, we need to save him before some other wild beast in the river notices him..."
Old man replied " you just wait there Biyu, I will be there in a minute.... "
Soon three hover bikes approached the river with two young and one old man.
The old man got down besides the mother and child, while ordering the two young men to get the body.
Sam was brought ashore, The old man quickly determined that the person was still alive and had only lost consciousness.
They brought Sam along with them.
The small girl was staring at this person with great curiosity and she spoke.
" mother since I was the one who found and saved him, shouldn't this person owe his life to me…"
Mother reprimanded again " Don't start with your nonsense again…"
Sam was quickly brought to the hospital.
The doctor was an old lady, she did a casual checkup and then brought a burning herb towards Sam's nose.
After smelling the smoke his body started showing signs of movement and he woke up coughing out some water.
" cough ... cough ...where am I…"
Doctor and the rest thought "....???.. what gibberish is this guy speaking ... did this guy hit his head somewhere... "
Sam came back to his senses " shit i forgot about the language... this seems like some kind of hospital... These people do not seem to be bad either. They probably saved me from the river ...my instincts are calm, it means I am no more in danger..."
The Doctor was the first to speak " hmmm... young man how do you feel, do you feel any discomfort...."
Sam sends a mental message to the Evil sword " nympho who are these people and what are they saying. "
Evil sword replied " no need to panic, this is a village in the outskirts of the forest... I have not grasped the language fully but from what I understand, this old lady is the doctor who brought you back from the unconscious state and they are asking who you are and where you came from... I suggest you pretend to have lost your memory or something.."
Sam " What…. maybe it is for the best....let's deal with the current situation first, should I play dumb or an idiot... I think I will go with the idiot, let the act begin..."
Evil sword " you won't have to pretend then..."
Sam was pretending like he had no clue about who he was or what the doctor was saying like an idiot.
Doctor had a small smirk on her face and she said " seems like the young man ... has lost his memories... he seems to have suffered some kind of mental trauma. Maybe a mental attack from some powerful wild beast caused this ... let him rest for a while..."
The little child Yue yan interrupted all of a sudden " so he is an idiot.... I wasted all my effort saving an idiot... hah..."
she gave out a long sigh like an old granny... but a hand had already started twisting her ear...
"ouch... mom, why are you twisting my ear, it's hurting...."
Biyu spoke in a strict tone " I told you already, to stop blabbering nonsense..."
After getting out of her mother's hands, she ran away to the doors and turned back to stick her tongue out.
" idiot, you owe me your life... so you better pay up.."
Evil sword " I am starting to like that little one..."
Everyone in the room started laughing ..... Later the doctor said Sam needed rest, so everyone left the room and Sam was allowed to rest alone.
Sam started immersing in his thoughts
" I can vaguely understand the meaning of the words these people speak from their accompanying actions... but I am still far from understanding anything solid .…"
The Evil sword interrupted him " There is something else that I need to let you know…. Hmm… it is better if you look at the reflective glass in front of you"
Sam spoke up while looking at the glass in front of him " what are you talking about…. Wait… this, why… hah … hmph maybe this is also for the best…."
As he was immersed in his thoughts he heard a knock on the door, and the lady doctor came in.
Doctor " young man I don't know why you are pretending, neither do I want to know.
The village is already in very bad situation we don't want any more troubles, so please leave after resting for a while "
Sam did not exactly understand what this old lady was saying, but from her expression he knew he was busted and his acting was not that good.
He knew these people were not bad, so he tried to communicate with the doctor using some made up hand signs .
After 10 minutes the doctor also understood that this guy was not entirely pretending.
So she brought out her wrist watch and after pressing it, a 3D image appeared.
Further selecting some options on it,
A screen appeared showing different language texts.
Sam understood that the doctor was showing him different languages that were spoken in this place.
He cooperated with the doctor to look for any language that he knew.
After 3 hour, two tired people were sitting opposite to each other... After searching through a hundred thousand languages they didn't find anything.
He even gave the name of all the language that he knew but there was no result.... Now the doctor started having doubts again, is this guy pretending again?
Seeing the look on the doctor's face, Sam held his hands together and bowed showing his sincerity.
He didn't know how to convince the old lady.
The lady doctor, as if understanding Sam's situation, gave a gesture that it was okay....
