In a very ordinary house, a sturdy middle-aged man was half-kneeling in the courtyard, lowering his head and listening to the sounds coming from the old house.
"Okay." The middle-aged man said, "Do you need me to convey any news?"
But no new words came out of the room.
However, the middle-aged man did not dare to leave just like that, he still lowered his head, like a stone statue.
"How many of our people are left in there?"
"It's not possible to confirm at the moment. There are several very powerful people on the opposite side, and they reacted very quickly and cut off the front and back yards, making it impossible to exchange information between the two sides." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "But before that, the people in the back yard were cut off.
The people have escaped through the tunnel and are now waiting for new instructions."
"Cut off the contact." Another voice sounded in the room, "From now on, you don't have to worry about anything."
The middle-aged man raised his head in astonishment.
But all he saw was a closed door, and he immediately lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.
"Spread the news and ask everyone to leave Yunzhou City as soon as possible. We have been exposed." New instructions soon came from the room, "By the way, activate all the secrets and let them make trouble and contain them."
Yunzhou City is no longer useful if we keep the attention of those big shots."
The middle-aged man sighed, but nodded and said, "Yes."
"Don't worry, we will have more and more companions." The person in the room chuckled, "Sometimes, we have to learn from those big shots... How do you say that word? By the way, the big guy has his hand broken, you
Do you know what this means?"
"No...don't know."
"That's right. After all, you are just a butcher and have never read a book." The man in the room paused and then started to explain: "It means that big people are stronger and stronger, so sometimes even if they break
He can survive with only one hand, and he won't die like this... Do you understand?"
"I don't quite understand." The middle-aged man shook his head.
"Alas." A sigh sounded, "So I say, you really should read more books. If the human race can be so powerful, there must be their reasons. We should learn from them. This is why our ancestors were willing to sacrifice in the first place.
The reason why so many people want to send me across that death zone is because my ancestor knew that as long as I live, one day he will be able to go south."
The middle-aged man didn't refute, he simply blinked.
"Yunzhou City is no longer useful, and there is no use for those people to stay." The person in the room sighed, "Those high-ranking big shots don't care about the life and death of us untouchables. Once they find out that there is a risk of losing control here.
, they will definitely choose to massacre the city. So we must let our people escape from here as soon as possible, before the big shots have not reacted yet, how many people can escape."
This time, the middle-aged man understood: "Yes!"
Then, he quickly got up and left.
But when I pushed the door open and walked out, I bumped into a woman.
The woman was of average appearance, carrying a vegetable basket in her hand, with a few taels of meat cut into it, and some vegetables, which seemed to be quite nutritious. Next to the woman, there was a twelve or three-year-old man.
A child, she has shown quite a beautiful appearance at a young age. The only regret is probably that her eyes are a bit cold, which always makes people feel uncomfortable.
"Brother Zhang, when did you come back?"
When the woman saw the middle-aged man, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"I just came back not long ago." The middle-aged man laughed naively, "Last time I went out, I heard that Brother Luo's body was not in good condition, so when I went hunting with others in the mountains, I was lucky enough to get some medicinal materials. I went to the drug store to ask the doctor to take a look at it.
He said it was a very good spiritual plant, so I went to the elixir pavilion to exchange for some spiritual elixirs to replenish qi and blood, and I hurriedly sent them to Brother Luo."
Hearing this, the woman's eyes were red and her voice was a little choked: "Thank you so much, Brother Zhang, my husband..."
"Hey, one family doesn't speak the same language as the other." The middle-aged man stopped and said, "I, Zhang Qiu, am not an ungrateful person. If it hadn't been for Brother Luo back then, I'm afraid I would have died. So I owe you this favor.
Remember it, don't dare forget it." At this point, the middle-aged man waved his hand hurriedly: "Okay, brothers and sisters, you go back quickly. Brother Luo just took the elixir, and the shopkeeper of the elixir pavilion said, this elixir
After eating, we are in urgent need of a lot of meat, so I will send you half a wild boar later. We caught a lot of prey this time, and I contributed more, so I got a lot of good things."
"Thank you, Brother Zhang." The woman nodded in thanks.
Then the middle-aged man left quickly.
Looking at the other person's leaving figure, the woman also lamented that there are still mostly good people in this world.
At that time, she also lived in a village on the outskirts of Yunzhou City.
Her father died young, and her mother worked early in the morning and worked late in the day to raise her up. However, her family situation was really difficult, so she planned to marry a nearby family. As long as there were men in the family, her mother would not have to work early in the morning and work late in the day to do farm work.
It may still be harder, but at least it won't be worse than now.
But she never thought that before she could tell her mother about it and ask a matchmaker to check her eyes, she found an unconscious man behind her yard.
The later story is somewhat like the development of the story in the story, except that the identities of the male and female characters are swapped, and she does not have as big an identity as the protagonist in the story.
But all in all, under her careful care, the man recovered day by day, and the two fell in love over time and became married.
During this period, the man showed excellent leadership skills and soon gathered many villagers. Through the peace talks, he helped people solve problems and made suggestions, and the family's situation began to improve day by day. Then things started to improve.
After moving from the village to Yunzhou City, although they are not a wealthy family, life is indeed much better now. After all, my husband is eloquent, can read a little, and can do accounting, so he can always find some odd jobs.
Now, the two have been married for fifteen years, and their children are now twelve years old.
Thinking of the child, the woman sighed again.
She lowered her head and glanced at her daughter with bright eyes, white teeth, fair complexion, beautiful face, and refined temperament. If it weren't for the fact that this was the meat that fell from her belly, she would never believe that she could actually give birth to a child with her beauty.
Give birth to a daughter like this.
And as her daughter grows up, she now doesn't dare to let her daughter run around casually. Who knows what kind of bad guys she may encounter, and her daughter may be gone if she is not careful.
So no matter where she is, she has to take her daughter with her. Only in this way will she feel that her daughter is safe. After all, her husband is suffering from a serious illness and cannot lift his hands or carry his shoulders, so she wants her daughter to follow her husband.
If they are targeted by some bad guy, I'm afraid not both of them will die.
Although she does not know martial arts, and the fate of those bad guys may not be much better, the woman always feels that she is stronger than her husband, and she can still fight for thirty to fifty seconds to fight for her daughter.
Vitality.
"Mother?" The girl pulled the woman's hand.
"Let's go home." The woman smiled, "Your father must have been waiting a long time."
Soon, the two pushed the door open and entered.
However, it was different from the previous situation when the middle-aged man was there and the door to the house was locked.
At this time, the door of the house in the courtyard had been opened, and a middle-aged man with a pale face, thin body, and a sickly appearance was standing in the courtyard basking in the sun.
"Husband." The woman was a little surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to help her husband.
"I'm back." The middle-aged man in his thirties smiled and said, "I'm fine. Brother Zhang just gave me a pill. After I took it, my body felt warm and comfortable, so
Thinking of going out for a walk."
"Yes, yes." The woman nodded, but wiped away her tears, "Husband, we owe Brother Zhang so much, an elixir..."
"There will be a chance to pay it back." The man gently patted the back of the woman's hand, "I'm a little hungry."
"I'm going to cook right now. Husband, please wait a moment."
"Okay, ma'am."
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, watching the woman go to the kitchen and start preparing the food.
After the woman's back completely disappeared, when the middle-aged man turned back to look at his daughter, the smile on his face was no longer there, but it was indifferent.
The little girl who originally looked indifferent could not help but lower her head at this time, like a frightened little animal, trembling a little.
"Not bad, you have also mastered Linglong Pavilion's charm skills." The middle-aged man sneered, "What did I tell you before?"
"Daddy..." The little girl paused and stopped shivering. She raised her head and stared at the middle-aged man, his temperament as cold and quiet as ever.
"What have you been doing these days?" The middle-aged man's eyes flashed red.
The little girl pursed her lips and did not dare to speak.
The middle-aged man approached the little girl in a few steps.
This time, the little girl was really shivering, instead of just pretending like before.
Her breathing became difficult, and a look of panic appeared on her originally indifferent face.
She looked at the middle-aged man who was gradually walking towards her, with a pleading look in her eyes: "Daddy, please."
"You used to go to that resident merchant to steal food, and I didn't say anything. After all, you do need to grow up, but what did I tell you before?" The middle-aged man looked sullen, "I've already warned you.
, you are not allowed to act recklessly these days, right?"
"But, I'm hungry!" The girl moved her neck uncomfortably, making a cracking sound, "Mom, you have to take me with you wherever you go. I've been enduring this for a long time. I'm really hungry... you
It is said that smart rabbits will not eat the grass next to their own house, so I have to run far and wide every time. But in recent years, my mother has been watching me more and more, and I don’t have much time to run out to find food.
Yes, I..."
The middle-aged man exhaled two thick white breaths from his nostrils.
"If you were not the child of me and your mother, you would be dead now." The middle-aged man finally suppressed the murderous thoughts in his heart, "If you don't control your desires and learn how to be a human being, sooner or later you will
They will die under the control of desire...The biggest difference between human race and us is not that they are the masters of all spirits, but that they have self-control and know when to do what."
The little girl lowered her head.
She didn't understand much of this, but she was really unconvinced in her heart.
If being a human is so hard, then why be a human?
She doesn't want to be a human being at all.
How could it be possible to feel comfortable being mixed with a bunch of food every day? She didn't know why her father could bear it, nor why other people could bear it, but she felt like she couldn't bear it anyhow, and several times
This time she almost attacked her mother. After all, in her eyes, this person was also food, the "spare food" described in her memory inheritance.
But she knew that if she dared to attack her mother, she would really die.
Therefore, her instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil allowed her to retain the last trace of reason when facing her mother.
"Who instigated you?"
"What?" The little girl raised her head, with a look of astonishment on her face.
"Who asked you to plant spider eggs on that Taoist's body?" the middle-aged man said coldly.
"...Uncle Zhang." The little girl, who probably realized that she was in trouble, lowered her head and couldn't help but say.
"I guess so." The middle-aged man sneered, "These guys can't sit still."
The little girl didn't speak.
"Four days ago, you sneaked into the merchant's house and secretly ate a maid. Do you think I don't know?"
The little girl looked up in shock, her eyes frightened.
"But do you know why I didn't say it?" The middle-aged man said indifferently, "Because I wanted to see what you would do...but the result made me very disappointed."
The little girl felt a little aggrieved.
"Did Lao Zhang tell you that he is responsible for repairing the 'cobweb', so as long as he doesn't tell me, I won't know?"
"yes."
"So he encouraged you to inject a spider egg into the injured Taoist priest, and asked you to accelerate the catalysis, and do something big so that you can prove yourself in front of me, so that I will not interfere with your eating in the future.
Human thoughts, right?”
"right."
The little girl nodded honestly and answered.
"You are my daughter, and I will entrust you with all the affairs of this area in the future. Apart from our ancestors, you are truly the one who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. What food will you have when the time comes?"
"The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, "You really disappoint me... I'm disappointed that you don't have your own judgment, I'm disappointed that you can't control your own desires, I'm disappointed that you're short-sighted."
The little girl pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved, and her tears began to fall.
Only then did she truly look like a person of her age.
"This time, just take it as a lesson. I have dealt with the aftermath for you. I just hope you can learn from it." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "It's nothing if you eat people or plant spider eggs. I
You may even think that is a good thing, but you should not lose your judgment and follow Zhang Orion's words to catalyze the spider eggs."
"You have exposed your ability and your ignorance."
"So soon, Orion Zhang will find you again. He will use sweet words to encourage you, stimulate your ferocity, let you kill me, and then replace me, so that you can have endless food. From the results
Generally speaking, you will indeed have a lot of food by then, but those are just ordinary things. But on the contrary, you will become a deaf and blind man. You will not know anything about the outside world. Instead, Orion Zhang will become
The real person in charge.”
"You have to remember that a qualified controller will never have only one intelligence channel...if you don't want to be deceived."
I don't know why, but the little girl always feels a sense of crisis.
She felt a little panicked inside.
However, she knew that her father was imparting experience and knowledge to her, which she had never had before. Her intuition told her that what her father said now was the way to survive in the future. She did not
It doesn't matter if she understands, but she must remember every sentence and every word. When she grows up in the future, she will be able to understand.
"Then, Daddy, what should I do now?"
"Don't be afraid, just follow my arrangements."
The middle-aged man stretched out his head and rubbed the little girl's head.
The little girl was slightly surprised.
But soon, like a kitten, he closed his eyes comfortably and even nuzzled his father's palm with his head.
This is the first time since her birth that her father has been so affectionate to her.
