The No.2 wanderer shook his head at Tang Ye, then raised his hand and pointed to his wrist with his index finger, indicating he didn't have a watch and didn't know the time. He then pointed at the sky outside, clearly meaning that it had already entered the night, with only a dark golden line in the western sky, suggesting that even a guess wouldn't be far off.
But Tang Ye was not asking what time it was now, he wanted to know the year. The fact that the man didn't recognize the smartphone made him suspect that the world he was in was not the 21st century.
He quickly shook his head at the wanderer, indicating that he was not asking about the current time, but about the year and month. However, he also knew how to express himself in English, and this feeling was truly frustrating!
