Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Strange Dream Reappears
"Today, the warrior is respected, the strong is the king, and the battle gate is congenitally closed and cannot be cultivated, so it is naturally a waste person. Xu Murong put his hands behind his back, looking proud, and disagreed with the question of the white-bearded old man, feeling that this question was a little ridiculous.
The questioner, Qin Xinru, did not rush to answer, but frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
The white-bearded old man's gaze fell on Xu Murong, twisted his beard and said, "Second Prince Xu is too preoccupied. In the old man's view, all elders with a skill are talents, and those who have a skill and can be called a genius can be called a genius. ”
"Isn't the word 'genius' too worthless?" Xu Murong pursed the corners of his lips, disapproving.
The white-bearded old man didn't argue with him, but looked at Qin Xinru and asked, "What does the eldest girl think?"
"The heart is dull as the mind, and I beseech the elders to teach. Qin Xinru bowed and saluted, she could hear what the white-bearded old man was saying, but she couldn't guess what the white-bearded old man was going to say, so she had to humbly ask for advice.
"The city lord's mansion has a grand industry, and all walks of life such as clothing, food, housing and transportation are involved, and there is a need for talents from all over the world. It's just a matter of having one more pair of chopsticks, and the City Lord's Mansion can afford it. The white-bearded old man said.
Qin Xinru hurriedly bowed down and responded: "Xinru remembers the teachings of the elders! When I go back from this trip, Xinru immediately sends someone to find that kid and give him a suitable errand." ”
Duan Baifei shook the folding fan lightly, and peeked at the white-bearded old man out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "No wonder the City Lord's Mansion has been prosperous for a long time, and the elders are all worried about the future of the City Lord's Mansion, as long as it is beneficial to the development of the City Lord's Mansion, even if it is a small truth, it is not too cumbersome, and it is broken and told to the young person in power." It's like our family's offerings, each of them holds the shelves high, and they are afraid of losing their identity if they say one more word on weekdays. It's all offerings, why is there such a big gap?hey—"
"According to the law of the green python, it will not come out to hunt until the night after tomorrow, you young people are afraid that you can't bear to wait here, find a place to play, there is an old man to stay here." Don't go too far, if there is danger within a hundred miles, the old man can arrive as soon as possible. Don't make too much noise, so as not to startle the green python. Go ahead. The white-bearded old man waved his hand.
Qin Xinru was like a man of five people, dancing happily, and after saying goodbye to the white-bearded old man, he went down the mountain impatiently. Some of the people from the crowd went down the hill after them, and these people were their subordinates.
......
Valleys, cold pools, water mist, dancing.
The Three-Eyed Celestial Wolf King stood on the ice crystals next to the cold pool, enduring the biting cold that came from the attack, and his heart was very satisfied, because this time it had taken another step forward, which showed that its strength had improved again.
It didn't dare to blink its eyes, staring at the graceful dance in the mist, eager to engrave every movement into its mind, but unfortunately every time it left the valley, it would forget most of it, and only remember a few movements.
Although it only has a few movements, it has also benefited a lot, it has become faster, its strength has become stronger, its body has become stronger, and it has even found itself much smarter than before.
It knew that these changes were brought about by the graceful dancing on the cold pool, so it was eager to stick to the edge of the cold pool to see it, but the cold pool was too cold to get close.
It was very envious of the tigers, giant apes, pythons, etc. in front, especially the giant ape that was as majestic as a hill, which was closest to Hantan and could see it most clearly.
......
The Three-Eyed Wolf King was very angry, because the three black panthers who came out of nowhere actually ignored its many warnings, invaded its territory again, robbed its prey, and seemed to have regarded this place as their territory, so it must teach these three black panthers a hard lesson today, so that they know that the majesty of the wolf king is inviolable.
The Three-Eyed Wolf King led the wolves to quickly find the three black panthers and surround them, in order to verify the growth of their own strength, the Three-Eyed Wolf King let the wolves sweep the formation for it, and it fought the three leopards alone.
There was no suspense in the battle, and the three black panthers were easily bitten by the Three-Eyed Sky Wolf King, and won an overwhelming victory.
The Three-Eyed Wolf King became more and more eager to worship the dance on the cold pool, and he decided to wait for his son to grow up a little more, and then take it with him to the cold pool.
However, when he returned to the wolf's lair with the joy of victory, he found that an unknown object had attacked the place during his absence, his wife and other people were all lying in a pool of blood, and his son was nowhere to be found.
The Three-Eyed Sirius King was furious and immediately summoned all the wolves in the Black Forest to find a son for him.
Eventually, the bad news came that its son had been taken captive by humans.
When it saw its son lifeless, hung from a tree by a damned human, the anger in its heart was beyond words, and it vowed to let the damned human languished under its claws.
......
Zhang Xiaopaw woke up and knew that he had another strange dream.
He didn't move, just opened his eyes and looked at the dark night sky and the stars in the night sky.
In fact, his gaze was not focused, he was in a daze.
This strange dream made him very depressed in his heart, in the dream he existed as the three-eyed wolf king, and when he felt that his son had lost his breath of life and was tied to the trunk of a tree by "Zhang Xiaopaw", his heart was broken.
The feeling of despair and anger is utterly indescribable. If I had to put it into words, it would be a desperate desire to destroy the whole world, and an angry desire to destroy the whole world.
Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but pity this desperate and angry father, and even apologized, but he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, because he was forced to defend and counterattack, and he had to do it as a last resort. If you want to blame it, you can only blame it for being a beast, unable to speak, unable to communicate, and unable to distinguish between right and wrong, otherwise this life-and-death battle can be avoided.
"Hey, are you awake?"
A crisp and pleasant voice sounded in Zhang Xiaopaw's ears, waking Zhang Xiaopaw up from his trance.
"Huh?" Zhang Xiaopaw responded in a trance, looking at the source of the sound without focus, and only came back to his senses after a while, his eyes gradually became focused, and he saw a delicate and beautiful face and a fiery figure.
"What's your name?" asked, leaning over at Zhang Xiaopu.
"My name is Zhang-" Zhang Xiaopaw subconsciously opened his mouth to answer, but when the words came to his mouth, he paused again, for some reason, the beautiful girl in the red dress in front of him made him very uncomfortable, especially the eyes of the girl in the red dress, which was extremely aggressive, as if she was looking at a private belonging.
Intuition told Zhang Xiaopaw that the girl in the red dress in front of him was very dangerous.
However, Zhang Xiaopaw felt that this was not his own intuition, but like a wolf's intuition, which came from the wolf's keen sense of danger.
"How can I feel this way? Could it be because the dream is too real, which makes me have some wolf beastliness?" Zhang Xiaopaw was in a trance in his heart.
"Hey, what are you talking about halfway?!" the girl in the red dress said softly, and her face showed displeasure.
"My name is Zhang Damao. Yes—did you save me?" Zhang Xiaopaw chose to believe his "beast sense", his mind moved, he made a random name, sat up and observed the situation around him.
Hearing the name of Zhang Xiaopaw, the girl in the red dress was so happy that her eyes narrowed into a line, not laughing at the name "Zhang Damao", but because this name revealed that Zhang Xiaopaw's identity was ordinary, and the children of large families did not have such a name. With an ordinary identity, she doesn't need to scruple about it, and she can safely brand Zhang Xiaopaw with a slave mark on his forehead.
"When we found you, you were unconscious on the edge of a cliff, and it was dangerous to roll off the cliff if you rolled over, so we moved you to this safe position. You were seriously injured, but fortunately, you took the bone bone pill before you fell unconscious, so the wound recovered quickly and was not life-threatening, but we still bandaged you briefly. The red-faced old man said.
Zhang Xiaopaw found that he was indeed bandaged on his body, and the wounds on his chest, back and shoulders were tightly bandaged, making it look like he was wearing a vest, so he hurriedly stood up and bowed down to thank him: "Thank you for saving me!"
At the same time, I was grateful to Qin Rulan again for giving me medicine, if it weren't for the help of the elixir, with the injuries on his body, I was afraid that he would bleed and die.
Zhang Xiaopaw tried to stretch his upper body, only the wound on his chest was still aching, and the wound on his shoulder and back was almost painless, and he had to marvel at the power of the medicine again.
"Where is the young man from, and why did he come to this dangerous Black Forest?" asked the old man with the crown.
"I'm a hunter in Shangba Village, and the drought is so bad that my family has no food, so I have to venture into the Black Forest to find food. Zhang replied half-truthfully.
"You killed the Wolf King?" asked the red-faced old man.
"Well, I killed it. I was almost eaten by the beast, but luckily I was naturally strong enough to slash it with a knife. By the way, what about the beast? I'll have to carry it back and feed the old lady. Zhang Xiaopaw said with palpitations, there is no need to pretend about this, because he was really almost eaten by the wolf king.
"Haha, it's roasting over there. We only took two legs, and the ones left were enough for you to take back and feed the old lady. The red-faced old man pointed to the campfire not far behind him and smiled.
As for Zhang Xiaopaw saying that he killed the wolf king with his natural strength, he didn't believe it, and the girl in the red dress and the old man with a crown also didn't believe it, the three-eyed wolf was the king of wolves, and he was fierce by nature, not to mention the three-eyed wolf who turned into a demon, which could be easily dealt with. Besides, Zhang Xiaopaw is still a person whose strength has not been opened, even if he is born with great strength, how big can he be.
Just looking at the shocking wounds on Zhang Xiaopaw's body, he knew that he and the Three-Eyed Sky Wolf King had a thrilling battle, without a certain amount of hard power, it was impossible to do it with natural brute force alone.
However, Zhang Xiaopaw didn't say anything, and it was inconvenient for them to ask in detail, thinking that they would take Zhang Xiaopaw in later, and it would not be too late to ask slowly.
Zhang Xiaopaw looked at the bonfire, and sure enough, he saw two huge wolf legs roasting on the fire, and they were already roasted to a golden oil, he immediately couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his stomach gurgled and screamed.
"Hehe-" Zhang Xiaopai laughed dryly twice to hide the embarrassment of his stomach screaming.
"Haha, the young man woke up at the right time, the meat has just been roasted, let's go over there to eat and talk. The old man with the crown smiled.
"Thank you. Thanks a lot. Zhang Xiaopaw hurriedly thanked him, but he chuckled in his heart, because he saw the foreheads of the four big men sitting by the campfire roasting meat, which were branded with the hideous and terrible slave brand.
Zhang Xiaopu didn't know much literacy, but he happened to know the word "slave".
In Zhang Xiaopaw's consciousness, the slaves are not good people, but mostly unscrupulous bullies, because he feels that he will not treat people as beasts if he has a little conscience, so the slave brand makes him more vigilant against the three girls in the red dress.
"Young man, the Bone Renewal Pills are a high-priced panacea, you can sell just one pill to survive the drought for your family, why do you risk your life to go into the Black Forest?" asked the old man with the crown pretending to be casual.
"Huh?!" Zhang Xiaoshu exclaimed in surprise, "Is that pill so valuable?"
The powerful effects of the pill Zhang Xiaopaw had seen and experienced it firsthand, so he knew that the pill must be very expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive, selling one pill is enough for a family to survive the drought, so shouldn't it be a few dozen taels of silver a pill, this is too expensive.
"Yes, a bone regeneration pill on the market sells for two hundred taels, but now that there is a drought and there is a shortage of medicinal materials, I am afraid that it will be sold for three hundred taels now. Why, don't you know? This medicine is not yours?" asked the old man with the crown.
He said so much in a rambling manner, the purpose was to ask the last question, not asking directly for fear of arousing Zhang Xiaopaw's vigilance, and once Zhang Xiaopaw showed that the pill had nothing to do with him, he could completely confirm Zhang Xiaopaw's identity as an ordinary person, so that he could let go of his hands and feet to brand him as a slave.
"Ah?!Three-three hundred taels and one grain?!" Zhang Xiaopaw's brain couldn't keep up with thinking, he was struggling to calculate, Qin Rulan gave him a total of twenty grains, one grain of three hundred taels, a total of six-six thousand taels!
Zhang's mouth was wide enough to fit a fist.
it!
I knew I would have sold it.
6,000 taels were exchanged for grain, and the people of the two villages couldn't eat it even if they were lying in the grain pile.
Why bother being chased like rabbits by wild boars here, and chased like grandsons by wolves. No, it's not as good as grandchildren.
