......

Chen Ze and Cai Zilin drank a bowl of hot porridge alone, and after eating half a naan, they felt full.

"Grandpa, you just said that there are man-eating goblins in the forest to the east, what's the matter?!" Cai Zilin helped the old woman clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and after sitting down, she couldn't help asking.

"It's a long story, our village used to live on an ore from the forest in the east, and we made a daily income at sunrise, mined this ore, sold it to merchants, and earned some toil, and then used the silver obtained from the sale of ore, and exchanged some daily necessities from the merchants, so that the villagers in our village could live. Speaking of the old days, the old man couldn't help but smile on his face, although the days were not rich, they were indeed quiet and healthy, and they were also happy.

"Then why is there a man-eating goblin in the forest in the east?!" Chen Ze frowned slightly when he heard this, and he didn't know why, so he asked.

"Listen to me slowly. The old man signaled to Chenze not to be anxious, and then said, "Originally, the name of the village in the village was healthy and happy, but one day, more than a dozen young adults in the village went to mine ore together, but this late at night, I didn't see everyone returning, and when the sun was about to set on weekdays, everyone had returned, but this late night did not return, everyone was anxious, waiting at the entrance of the village, and still no one returned. ”

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help sighing, took a deep breath, and continued to speak, "People have not returned, the general to find, the village spontaneously organized, men, women and children, from home to make torches, want to go to the woods to find the more than a dozen young people who have not returned, just as everyone is holding torches and preparing to leave, a young man ran back, wounded, just ran to the entrance of the village and fainted to the ground, everyone carried the young man home, the young man was placed on the fire pit, then sobered up, his eyes were dilated, and finally kept saying, 'Eat people, eat people.'" On the second day, there were also people who went to the mountains and forests, but the people who went this time did not return, and a danger arose in the hearts of the villagers, so the village chief organized the young men to enter the mountains and forests again with swords on the third day, and my son was among them. ”

"......" The old man's cloudy eyes were covered with tears, and he was silent, and after a while, the old man stretched out his hand to wipe his tears before continuing to speak, " My son never returned, walked without looking back, left the three-year-old baby and left it alone, listening to the person who came back, everyone who entered the mountains and forests in the east was dead, like a dry corpse, without flesh and blood, and the skin and bones were thrown into a deep pit, my son was poisoned to cover everyone's departure, although he knew that the people who entered the mountains and forests were killed, but the man-eating goblin everyone did not see clearly, but vaguely saw that it seemed to be a long worm. ”

After the old man finished speaking, the old woman couldn't cry anymore, and the old man helped the old woman wipe away the turbid tears, and continued to talk about what happened next," After that, the villagers did not go to the east of the mountains and forests to mine ore, relying on the surplus grain, began to cultivate, no one went to the mountains and forests, the man-eating goblins could not eat people, began to be impatient, the goblins began to invade the village, forcibly abducted the people in the village, so that the villagers also saw that the man-eating goblin, is a long worm of more than ten zhang, covered in gold, only the top of the head has a touch of black, so everyone closed the doors and windows in Shenshi, day by day panic, for fear that the man-eating goblin will find themselves. ”

"Grandma, I'm hungry. A child came out of the back room, rubbed his sleepy eyes, pouted, and said in a sullen voice.

"Okay, Grandma, I'll go get you some food. When the old woman saw the child come out, she stopped crying, and hurriedly got up and picked up the child, and doted on her.

"You also go to rest early, I live with my wife in that house on weekdays, my son is gone, I will sleep with my little grandson, the house is still on fire, and it is not cold on the kang. The old man didn't say much when he saw the child wake up, and slowly spoke to Chen Ze and Cai Zilin.

"Can you bring that child over and let me touch it?!" Chen Ze did not interrupt, but said to the old woman.

"......" The old woman didn't know why, turned her head to look at her wife, the old man saw the old woman, nodded slightly, and the old woman hugged the child to Chenze's side.

Chen Ze stretched out his hand to touch the top of the child's head, and then touched the child's lower abdomen, and then Chen Ze kept touching the child's meridians and nodding his head.

"Childe, my child......" The old man saw that Chen Ze kept touching the child, and nodded from time to time, and couldn't help asking.

This child is also honest, let Chen Ze touch himself, the child only feels that the place where Chen Ze's palm passes, there is an indescribable sense of comfort.

"Don't worry, the child is fine. Chen Ze heard the old man's words, and hurriedly spoke.

"That boy nods from time to time, why is this?!" What the old man didn't understand was when Chen Ze nodded from time to time, and the corners of his mouth snickered from time to time.

"I won't tell you anything, Zilin and I are cultivators, just before the child came out, I felt a fluctuation of vitality, this vitality does not belong to the two of us, it can only be this child, so let you bring the child, the child is so old but has a resonance with the weather vitality, just before I explained the child's meridians and cultivation points, this child can be said to be God's gift to your home, suitable for cultivation, and extremely talented. Chen Ze explained what Fang had just done.

"Really?!" the old man and the old woman couldn't help but marvel when they heard this.

"It's true!" Chen Ze nodded heavily, swearing to speak.

"How can we do it, with a family like ours, where do we get the spare money to send him to the Tao, it's very good to be able to stay alive. The old woman was still excited, and at this time her face drooped, worried.

"I have a book of mind and a spell here, I will leave it to you, and in the future you can teach him to read, and the child can learn by himself. "Chen Ze brought out the heart and spell from the night demon clan last time, and there is still a surplus after the last time he handed over to the dog, take it out from the space ring, and by the way, take out an ingot of gold, and put it on the table together" There is also an ingot of gold as the cost of today's accommodation and dinner. ”

"Brother tells you something now, you keep it in your heart, don't tell anyone!" Chen Ze squatted down, touched the top of the child's head, and said softly.

"Hmm!" the child nodded obediently.

"......," Chenze whispered softly in the child's ear.

"Remember?!" Chen Ze asked, looking at the child.

"Remember!" replied the child's milky voice.

"This is a pact between our men, and we can't tell anyone else!" Chen Ze stretched out his little thumb and whispered.

"Good!" replied the child.
