Zhenbei County, also known as Zhenbei City. Located on the south bank of the Heishui River, it is an important border town in the extreme north of the old Qin State, guarding the fortress of foreign invasion, majestic and desolate.
Therefore, it has been 10,000 years since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, although the smoke of ancient times has passed. Zhenbei City has also been expanded several times, and business and trade have become more and more prosperous, but the martial style inherited since ancient times has not diminished.
This cold season came very early, only on the 19th, and it had already snowed heavily, thickly wrapping the entire Zhenbei City in white.
The howling cold wind came from the north, mixed with heavy snow flying in the air, weaving a white scroll between heaven and earth.
The endless flow of the Black River also came to an abrupt end in this season.
There were almost no pedestrians on the streets of the entire northern part of the town, and only a few big black dogs were still chasing each other in the heavy snow, and they disappeared in the vast snow in the blink of an eye. At the edge of the city wall, a shed made of thatch and wooden poles finally could not withstand the pressure of the snow, and collapsed with a "squeak".
"What the hell is the weather, phew!" With a lifetime of muttering, a thin teenager from the collapsed grass shed. It took a lot of effort to get out. A torn jacket covered in patches and covered with snow. In one hand he held a broken bowl, and with the other he trembled and stirred with the thatch in his mouth.
The boy looked to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, although a little tender flesh could be faintly discerned from the slightly exposed neck. But the young man's hands were already full of calluses, and his fair face was red from the cold, and there were a few black and oily places. A few grains of rice are glued to the corners of the mouth. But a pair of eyes are lacking to be extremely spiritual.
"Looks like I'm looking for a new nest again, it's really unlucky." The boy looked back at the collapsed hut and sighed. After walking a few steps, he tossed away the thatch under the snow on the roof of the fallen shed. Finding that the broken brazier he was heating had been crushed by the snow on the roof of the shed, he shook his head. He put the black porcelain bowl he was holding in his hand, with a broken ballast, on the collapsed shed. He rubbed his hands vigorously and sighed.
Then he suddenly picked up the broken black bowl that was placed aside, pulled it with his hand without listening, mixed the white rice in the bowl with a few wisps of vegetable leaves, and sent it to his mouth with gobbling it up, obviously very hungry.
"Heh~! Isn't this our eldest son of Ye Chenye! ”
A slightly mocking voice sounded in the ears of the young man who kept pulling rice. Immediately afterwards, four or five teenagers who were also dressed in rags, each holding a large bowl in their hands, gathered around the young man. The one who opened his mouth was a young man in his early twenties with a slender scar on his face. There were still a few grass clippings on his unkempt hair.
The young man who was chopping the rice heard the young man's voice. The action of constantly picking up rice stiffened, and his expression was also short of stunned. The rice fell from the mouth back into the bowl. But then, the young man was suddenly stunned, and his expression was still very indifferent. It's just that the speed of the rice can't help but be faster.
It's as if these teenagers, who are also begging, are not around. Ignore it.
Syllable!
The young beggar at the head didn't pay any attention to himself when he saw the young man who was chopping rice. In front of his little brothers. The face is a little ugly. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he slapped the back of the boy's head.
Then with a wrong step, he reached out and snatched the black porcelain bowl in the hand of the young man named Ye Chen, buckled it with his backhand, poured all the remaining rice in the bowl into the snow, and then threw the empty black porcelain bowl towards a piece of wood next to the collapsed grass shed! This porcelain bowl, which was already a little cracked, was completely shattered into flying porcelain pieces with a crisp sound.
Although Ye Chen looked a little taller than the young man. But the body is extremely thin. As soon as he was slapped by this young man, his squatting body on the ground remained unstable, and he almost stumbled in the snow. But it was good that one hand was pressed into the snow before it fell. But the bowl in his hand can't be saved.
Raising his head and looking at the young man who looked at him with a mocking face, Ye Chen exhaled lightly, and said indifferently and coldly, "Ye Heng, you and I don't interfere with the river water in the well, why do you deceive me?" ”
Ye Heng stretched out his hand and threw it to a little beggar behind him, and sneered in a low voice. Slowly squatting down, stretched out his hand, and gently patted Ye Chen's frozen red face, "The Ye family's big waste!" Hey, your dignified eldest son of General Ye would have ended up like this, and he was on the same level as me. It's ridiculous! Your father and mother have been missing for three years, and you have ruined a good general's mansion to such a field, you can only beg along the streets, and you can't even get out of the north boundary of the town. It's a tragedy that he can't cultivate with any strength when he has a good skin! ”
After listening to Ye Heng's words quietly, Ye Chen's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of extreme coldness. But then he still said coldly, "Are you finished?" ”
"It's really worthless for General Ye and Mrs. Ye! Gave birth to such a son of waste! ”
That's all that is said and done. Ye Heng was going to shoot Ye Chen again. But Ye Chen turned his head and dodged away, and this time he was empty. But this Ye Heng obviously wanted to deliberately get along with Ye Chen, his palm suddenly changed into a fist, and a punch hit Ye Chen's chest, pushing Ye Chen out violently, leaving a void on the snow.
Ye Chen's fists clenched violently. Slowly get up from the snow. looked coldly at Ye Heng, who was grinning on the other side.
"Ye Heng! We can't allow you to interfere in the affairs of our Ye family. You are nothing but a traitor to the Ye family! ”
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Ye Heng's face also changed, and then he sneered, "I'm bah!" The Ye family? Bullshit! Don't mention anything to the Ye family, I'm no longer a member of the Ye family. If it weren't for my separation from the Ye family back then, two years ago, I'm afraid that there would be a tomb of mine on the West Mountain, my good 'cousin'! ”
After a pause, he said leisurely, "Even now, I don't even dare to take a look at the door of my house, I am a martial artist of the Ye family, and I can't get out of the city gate, but I can only be a begging on the street all day long!" Such humiliation, how can you be a waste! ”
Ye Chen looked at Ye Heng, his tone was still very indifferent, and he couldn't see any emotion. But the clenched fists still loosened a little.
"Ye Heng, if you were lying in our Ye family's cemetery today, you would be an upright person. When he goes underground, I will respectfully call you second brother! ”
Ye Heng put away the indifference on his face in the blink of an eye, and sneered, "Ye Chen, if it weren't for the fact that you were a waste who couldn't cultivate with any strength, I'm afraid that person wouldn't have left you in the world for a long time!" People like you can live now, why can't I?! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, Ye Chen, I'm here today to tell you a piece of news. Zhou Xing, the descendant who was expelled from the Ye family by you with a broken leg, will return to our town in a few days! However, this time, he came to recruit disciples on behalf of the Destruction Sect! ”
Ye Chen said coldly, "Then what does it matter to me, if he comes to seek revenge, let him come." Although I, Ye Chen, am now a useless person, I will not be afraid of him! ”
Ye Heng laughed and gave a thumbs up. But the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a sneer. Said loudly to a few little beggars behind, "Have you seen it, the eldest son of the Ye family, even if he is a waste, he is extremely courageous!" ”
The few little beggars who followed Ye Heng behind were all giggling, looking at Ye Chen, who was a little weak.
Ye Chen looked coldly at these clown-like people who jumped off the beam. A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes unconsciously. After the catastrophe of his Ye family three years ago, there were not many people left. Everyone in the Ye family is not afraid of life and death.
Only his second cousin, who fled from the family before the incident and changed his name and surname. And now, his second cousin Ye Heng. actually ridiculed the Ye family like this. Ye Chen's last hope for his cousin was also completely extinguished.
Ye Heng saw that Ye Chen still looked cold. There was no movement at all. A hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes. Squinted slightly. sighed and said, "Ye Chen, although Zhou Xing came back that time, I don't care about your business. But if I knew that I avenged the revenge of the year for him, I must have entered the Destruction Sect and learned the profound martial arts vitality, so I would have added another bargaining chip! At that time, the shackles of the northern city of this town will not be limited to me! ”
"Don't resent me, I'm also here to avenge my father and your uncle! You will fulfill me! ”
Ye Heng finally said the purpose of coming here. A terrifying light erupted in both eyes. He waved his hand at the few little beggars behind him, and he took a step back. looked at Ye Chen, who had an indifferent face.
His cousin is very clear, although he can do a few simple routines, but there is no vitality in his body. The body has also been sick since childhood, and it is extremely weak. Otherwise, his second uncle and his wife would not have gone far away from the north of the town, looking for doctors and medicines, and disappeared for several years.
And these little beggars under his command are all trained by themselves, although they will not be energetic. But presumably to deal with a leaf dust. Still no problem.
The little beggars threw their large bowls towards the snow. With a cruel smile and rubbing his wrists, the four of them divided into two directions and walked towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen still looked indifferent. Just as Ye Heng understands himself, his cousin, Ye Chen also knows very well. Regardless of the safety of his clansmen, after arguing with his uncle, he still abandoned his home! Now it's just a seemingly high-sounding reason.
He looked at the few little beggars who were running towards him. Ye Chen sighed slightly. It seems that today I will not be able to escape the scourge of breaking my leg. But he is not a person who can be bullied at will!
He reached out and grabbed a thin bamboo pole from the collapsed wooden shed, and the bamboo pole drew a cloud of snowflakes on the ground and swung it towards a tall beggar to his right.
Ye Chen's family cultivated. Father Ye Yang is even more of a master of the Courageous Realm. Although Ye Chen couldn't cultivate, he had learned six or seven percent of this move! Although it is not very powerful, it is extremely tricky.
This time, how could this little beggar avoid it. It struck the little beggar on the chin. The cold weather hit the fragile chin, and the little beggar couldn't help but cry out in pain. Clutching his chin, he jerked back.
But because Ye Chen had no vitality, the speed of his moves was not fast. In the middle of this move, the other three little beggars were already close to him, and one of the little beggars swung his fist, bringing a trace of snowflakes and blasting towards Ye Chen's cheek.
Ye Chen threw the bamboo pole in his hand, raised his arms violently, and pressed the swinging arm violently, and the punch was empty. But Ye Chen's strength was not big, although it was two arms, but the little beggar made a fierce effort, and grabbed Ye Chen's arm with the other hand, and it actually rebounded!
Ye Chen couldn't stand still, and his body retreated backwards. Leave two lines of footprints in deep snow. But in this way, it happened to avoid the fists of the other two little beggars.
Ye Chen gasped slightly, and there was a chest tightness in his chest. frowned.
But at this moment, the three beggars were in hot pursuit, and their five fists were smashed towards Ye Chen in three directions. The other beggar, whose jaw was injured, grabbed a cloud of snow directly from the ground, gritted his teeth and threw it towards Ye Chen's eyes!
Peng! This snowflake smashed firmly on Ye Chen's face. His eyes tingled. At this time, several fists also smashed heavily on Ye Chen's body, and at the same time, his legs were hit by a strong force, and he couldn't help but crook!
Ye Chen secretly said despicable. Divide the legs differently and unload the force. But the leg bones were numb. With his eyes closed, he grabbed the arm of a little beggar and took a few punches, but one punch hit his cheek hard!
"Ho!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth, as if he had exhausted all his strength, grabbed the little beggar's arm with one hand, bent his waist, and slammed his whole body towards the little beggar he caught.
With Ye Chen's collision, the little beggar suddenly rolled in the snow. But Ye Chen gritted his teeth and held up violently. The face was still cold, but now it did have a little more, a mocking smile.
Ye Heng saw that these little beggars couldn't hold Ye Chen. I couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "There is nothing to do!" ”
I didn't want to make a move, but if it took a long time. It's always bad to be caught fighting with several beggars. The figure moved, drew a shadow in place, and kicked towards Ye Chen.
Although this Ye Heng is also a beggar now, he is from the Ye family. The vitality is also extremely powerful. This leg, with a blasting sound that pierced the air, smashed into Ye Chen's waist in a dull manner!
Ye Chen snorted, flew backwards violently, and his body fell heavily in the snow. But he couldn't hold back a word, and his eyes were staring straight at this traitorous and ruthless cousin.
"Waste is waste!" Ye Heng clapped his hands disdainfully and said to the four little beggars, "Beat him up first and tell him to resist!" ”
・・・・・・
Ye Heng looked at Ye Chen, who was sitting on the snow, although he was scarred, he was still about to stand up. With a laugh, his left leg flicked violently, sweeping towards Ye Chen's calf!
"Click!"
The crisp sound of bones breaking resounded through the silent streets. Ye Chen's body was crooked, but then he gritted his teeth and stood up on one foot, but his forehead was already drenched in cold sweat. The face is also pale and scary. The pain in his right calf kept gnawing at Ye Chen's nerves. The temples on his forehead were constantly pounding.
Ye Heng saw that Ye Chen's calf was broken. The corners of the mouth are cracked. He stopped talking, waved his hand to a few little beggars on the side, and the five of them walked away. Turning a corner, disappearing into this street.
Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly and closed his eyes slightly. I took a heavy breath and used it to relieve the pain in my calf. Jumping on one foot, he grabbed a relatively straight plank on the wooden shed, and then trembling his hands tore off a strand of cloth from his torn clothes.
After doing this, Ye Chen closed his eyes again. Then he gritted his teeth, twisted his ankles violently, and pressed his thighs down!
"Click!" The sound of bones breaking again.
But this time, Ye Chen forcibly grafted his bones. But with this click, the pain of the powerful cone made Ye Chen, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, almost unable to bear it anymore. It suddenly went dark.
But then he bit his lip violently. The lip was also bitten with a trace of blood. But fortunately, Ye Chen couldn't help but didn't fall asleep. Shook his head. Heavy, gasping heavily. There was not a trace of blood on his face.
Slowly crouched down in unbearable pain, and cold sweat slipped down his forehead drop by drop. Falls on the snow, leaving a small hole. Ye Chen reached out and took the wooden board, and used the strip of cloth that he had torn off in advance to fix it tightly on his calf.
After binding, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. He picked up the bamboo pole that he had beaten the little beggar before, and no longer looked at the wooden shed, and walked along the wide street towards the west, limping west with the bamboo pole. On the snow, leaving traces of a deep foot and a shallow foot.
The snow was still falling, and in the blink of an eye, it covered up its footsteps again, leaving no trace. It added a cold silence to this lonely teenager.
