Chapter 2 You talk a lot
Although Yang Fist is young, after the incident two years ago, no one in the town dares to provoke him easily. And after that, Yang Quan no longer gave meat to others, but gave others some earthworms, grasshoppers, zhizhi, snakes, spiders, or scorpions and the like, these things are not very delicious compared to barbecue, but they will not be as eye-catching as barbecue.
Yang Quan can always hit the wild boar occasionally, and the wild boar usually he stays to eat, and if he can't eat it, he sells it at the market for money, or goes to the shop in the town to exchange some miscellaneous items, such as salt, clothes, etc.
On this day, Yang Fist got up early again, and walked towards the outside of the village as usual, wanting to catch a wave of bugs.
"Brother Yang, wait for me!"
There was a young man's shout behind him, and Yang didn't reply to his fist, but just slowed down a little, and when the young man just came up, he said, "Zhang Dagen, why did you get up so early today?"
Zhang Dagen is fifteen years old this year, a little chubby, also wearing dirty clothes, unkempt, Zhang Dagen looks average, and the most memorable thing is his mouth, his teeth are protruding like shovels, which is what we usually call big buckteeth, which also causes him to speak a little leaky.
"I don't have anything to eat at home, so I'll get up early to catch some bugs with you. Zhang Dagen said.
There is not much difference in grade between the two, and Zhang Dagen is one of the few playmates in the town who plays with Yang Boxing, no, in the whole town, almost only Zhang Dagen will play with Yang Boxing.
Yang Fist's ruthless scene two years ago shocked the people in the village, but you frightened them, at most they didn't dare to clash with you head-on, but it didn't affect them to slander you behind their backs. Since then, the people in the village began to have all kinds of legends about Yang Fist, some said that he was a broom star and killed the whole village, some said that he was a demon, and some people said that they saw Yang Fist eating human flesh and so on.
There are more and more rumors about Yang Boxing, and Yang Boxing is gradually isolated by the people in the village, no one plays with him, no one disturbs him, and those who Yang Boxing has helped also choose to remain silent. Until Zhang Dagen's mother and son wandered to this town, Zhang Dagen's mother and son were more miserable when they came to the town, the two did not eat or drink water for two or three days, the mother and son begged for food from others, but did not get any help, only Yangquan gave the two some meat.
The mother and son planned to continue Liu Lang, but the mayor saw that the mother and son were pitiful, so he took the initiative to keep the mother and son. In this troubled world, it is indeed a heartwarming thing to have someone take the initiative to stay, so the mother and son also stayed in this town like other wanderers.
Zhang Dagen's mother is not tall, and a little chubby, but she is very gentle, she will smile and greet everyone she sees, she will not refuse when someone calls her for help, she is very good to the people in the town, sometimes the mother and son will be bullied by the people in the town, but Zhang Dagen's mother always smiles, as if nothing has happened. Zhang Dagen is also more sensible, but he is a little naΓ―ve, he knows that the mother and son were saved by Yang Boxing, so he has always regarded Yang Boxing as a good friend.
The mother and son have lived in the town for a long time, so they naturally heard all kinds of gossip about Yang Boxing, but the mother and son were unmoved, and their attitude towards Yang Boxing remained the same, and they were not affected by other people in the town. And Zhang Dagen's mother also encouraged Zhang Dagen to play with Yang Boxing more, but pay attention to safety.
Zhang Dagen is more sensible, the food of their mother and son is basically Zhang Dagen trying to solve it, he knows that Yang Quan is the most powerful hunter in this town, so he follows Yang Quan every day, seriously learning how to hunt. Zhang Dagen's brain is not very good, but he is very serious, for example, when making traps, ordinary people may be able to understand the principle of traps once or twice, but Zhang Dagen needs Yang Quan to explain to him to understand thoroughly. For example, how to make the net cover the prey correctly, such as how to make the wooden spear accurately pierce the prey, etc.
"Brother Yang, Tian Xiaoji was sold into the city by his parents yesterday. Zhang Dagen and Yang Quan shared what they knew.
"Oh. Yang Quan just made a simple oh and didn't say anything.
"Why did you say that he was bought? Isn't he just whiter than Brother Yang, taller than you, and a little more beautiful? What other points are better than Brother Yang? Why did the people in the city buy him?" Zhang Dagen frowned and looked sad, and he was puzzled.
Yang Fist: "ββ"
Salt Water City occasionally buys some homeless people from nearby towns to enter the city, and it is said that the people who are bought into the city will have no worries about food and clothing, can live in a big cement house, can change clothes once a week, and have enough food every day until they are full. Therefore, people in nearby towns are looking forward to their children being bought by the city, not only can they get a sum of money, but also their children will be able to worry about food and clothing in the future, so people in nearby towns are proud to be able to sell their children into the city.
Yang Quan was speechless for a moment, and then said, "You talk a lot, hurry up and catch insects." β
In the past, Yang Quan came out alone to catch insects, and when he was alone, he felt bored when he caught them for a while, but when he was two people, he was different, he caught insects for a while, picked bird eggs for a while, and dug a mouse nest for a while, and half a day passed in a blink of an eye, and the two of them unconsciously stayed away from the town and came to a small river.
"Hehe, Brother Yang, you help me put down the wind, I'll catch a few fish and improve the food!" Zhang Dagen said, shook his head, then took off his clothes, and then plunged into the water.
Although spring has begun now, the water is still very cold, and ordinary people will not go into the water in this season as long as their brains are normal, and it will be troublesome if they catch a cold. The medicine sold in the town's pharmacies was particularly expensive, not because of how good the medicine was, but because of the rarity of the goods.
Zhang Dagen wanted to go into the water, but Yang Fist didn't stop him, but just found a black stone and lay down. After Zhang Dagen got into the water, he was not like a human being, sometimes lurking in the water and sometimes jumping out of the water, and after a while, he grabbed two grass carp weighing nearly three catties and went ashore.
"Hehe, Brother Yang, this grass carp is ugly, for you. Zhang Dagen said with a smile.
Yang Fist: "ββ"
Yang Fist took the grass carp, jumped down from the black stone, did not pay attention to Zhang Dagen, but found a pile of rotten grass and branches, then took out a match and lit a fire, and then put the grass carp on the fire and roasted the fish.
Zhang Dagen also put the grass carp on the fire, and then stared at the grass carp, as if he wanted to eat the grass carp as soon as it was cooked.
Where is Yang Quan flipping this grass carp, Zhang Dagen looked at it boredly, stared at it for a while, and then Zhang Dagen said loudly: "Brother Yang, why can't this fish be brought back to the town for my mother to eat?"
Yang Fist sighed and said, "Because you bring this fish back, the people of the town may suspect that you are a demon!"
There are grass carp growing in this river, and almost everyone in the town knows about it, but why don't you dare to come and catch it, and don't dare to approach this river? Because there are a large number of F-class demon beasts in this river, water ghost leeches are a kind of demon beasts that suck the blood of animals, adult water ghost leeches are the size of a person's forearm, and three water ghost leeches can suck the blood of a person's whole body in 10 seconds, and the bottom of this river and the mud around the river are covered with this kind of water ghost leeches.
But Zhang Dagen is not afraid of these water ghost leeches, because he is a demon! He can demonize into a water crocodile, and Zhang Dagen, who can transform into a water crocodile demon, will have his body covered with hard scales, and his head will also become a crocodile head, just like a crocodile standing up.
Zhang Dagen is not afraid of the water ghost leeches in this river, not only can those water ghost leeches not break Zhang Dagen's defense, but Zhang Dagen's crocodile claws can easily cut them in half. It is very difficult for ordinary people to kill water leeches, and they cannot be injured by stones, sun exposure, or even knives.
This river is a place that ordinary people fear, but for Zhang Dagen, it is simply a paradise. So Zhang Dagen likes to come here to eat grilled fish very much, at first the water ghost leeches will attack him, but Zhang Dagen, who turned into a water crocodile demon, didn't pay attention to them at all, and even caught a few water ghost leeches and ate them.
Zhang Dagen trusts Yangquan very much, although he has a bad brain, he knows that Yangquan is a good person. He told Yang Quan about becoming a demon, and when Zhang Dagen was 12 years old, he, like everyone else, squatted outside the city near their village, waiting for the city to take out the garbage. Although it is said to be garbage thrown out of the city, there are many things that are useful for the homeless, and if you are lucky, you will even pick up something to eat.
Zhang Dagen's luck was very good that day, he picked up a can that had just expired, and he was about to go home happily, and those who found nothing were inevitably red-eyed, so the other three brothers in the same village caught up with Zhang Dagen and wanted to snatch the cans he picked up. Zhang Dagen naturally wouldn't give them easily, so several people fought.
The other three brothers were outnumbered, and when they saw that Zhang Dagen dared to fight back, the three of them were furious, dragged him out of the town, and threw him into the river to drown him.
In the evening, Zhang Dagen's parents did not see Zhang Dagen come back, so they asked around, some people said that they saw Zhang Dagen being dragged away by the bully, and walked towards the outside of the village, Zhang Dagen's father hurried to find it in the direction, and when he arrived, he found that the river was very turbulent, and there were monsters in it, some fish were as big as stones, with sharp mouths and sharp teeth, and many people who fell into the water were eaten by them, and they didn't even have bones.
Zhang Dagen's father told Zhang Dagen's mother about it after returning home, and her mother, who had always been kind, couldn't stand the blow and cried and fainted several times. At night, Zhang Dagen's father took advantage of the night to carry a knife to the three brothers' house to take revenge, one of the three brothers was hacked to death by Zhang Dagen's father, and the other two brothers beat Zhang Dagen's father to death when they saw this.
The next day, Zhang Dagen woke up from the river, he didn't remember how he survived, so he ran home in a daze. As soon as Zhang Dagen arrived home, the bully's family came to the door, and took Zhang Dagen's father's head, Zhang Dagen lost control on the spot, covered with scales, his hands became claws, and his head became a crocodile head, and the crazy Zhang Dagen bit several people to death.
Zhang Dagen's mother was in great pain, Zhang Dagen's father died, Zhang Dagen also became a demon, Zhang Dagen's mother was very scared, so she took her son away from home, and did not let Zhang Dagen use the ability to transform.
When Yang Quan heard Zhang Dagen say that he was a demon, he told him not to talk about it to others, because demons are equivalent to the existence of demon beasts in human society, and almost everyone can be punished.
In fact, it is not uncommon for people like Zhang Dagen to suddenly awaken into demons, because humans and demons lived together for a long time hundreds of millions of years ago, and after reproduction, many people have recessive genes for demons, and these genes may appear in some cases, thus mutating into demons.
