The two brothers and sisters are from Chen Village, the elder brother's name is Chen Li, and the younger sister's name is Chen Yi.

His father, Chen Wei, died earlier, and his mother Liu also fell ill in bed.

The second uncle Chen Kui in their mouth is his cousin, and his character is extremely poor, so the relationship between Chen Wei and Chen Kui is not good. After Chen Wei's death, Chen Kui took the little property left in Chen Li's family as his own in the name of funeral, which made Chen Li's family even worse.

Now the brother and sister are surrounded by four walls, destitute, because their mother is seriously ill, the neighbors are empty, and there is no one to help, so they have to ask Chen Kui for help.

Chen Kui is a person with a cold nature, and after embezzling Chen Li's family's property, he immediately turned around and was ruthless. And the bitter pleading of Chen Li's brothers and sisters was only exchanged for a sentence of brutal scolding and a brutal punch and kick. If Zhang Teng hadn't stopped Chen Kui's evil deeds, I was afraid that Chen Li would really be beaten to death on the street.

This is also the reason why so many people in Suining Town wear linen and filial piety, and why people on the street stand by and watch the Chen Li brothers and sisters. In the final analysis, the two of them are from Chen Village. Last night's fighting made the surrounding villagers hate all the people of Chen Village, even innocent children.

After asking the reason, Zhang Teng asked the hospital to deal with Chen Li's injury, and helped Chen Li's mother buy a few packets of medicine, and brought some food to accompany Chen Li's brothers and sisters to Chen Village.

Of course, he hurriedly went to the Mohs iron shop and bought a big knife and a steel spear for self-defense.

After all, the demon tiger has been haunting near Chen Village, and it is extremely dangerous, so only by bringing weapons can you be prepared.

Fortunately, the three of them did not meet the demon tiger along the way, and successfully arrived at Chen Village.

The village in front of him is dilapidated and desolate, many houses in the village have collapsed, and there are broken walls and bloodstains everywhere.

The entire Chen Village was dead silent, and the air was filled with a scorching fishy smell that made people sick. The trees on both sides of the avenue in the village are also wilted, and there are traces of various knives and fires on the branches and leaves.

Zhang Teng and the others kept walking inside, only to see that some of the former cattle pens and pigsty were empty, the fence wood was rotten, and the fence was covered with moss, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

On the way to Chen Li's house, he also saw an old and dirty blacksmith shop.

Through the broken doors and windows, I saw that there were baskets of iron ore piled inside, and there were many broken swords and broken knives scattered on the ground, and even a few rusty rotten spear heads. The blacksmith seems to have been around for a long time, and it has long been converted into a warehouse, and there are no craftsmen in it.

According to Chen Li, this iron shop has been closed for a long time, and it was opened by one of his cousins many years ago, and later his cousin's family left Chen Village in Suining and went to Yunjing to make a living.

At that time, his cousin handed over the ironwork to his brother, who was so eager to eat and work hard that he sold the contents of the ironshop and squandered it, and now only some worthless broken copper and iron remained.

At this moment, Chen Li stopped in front of a dilapidated brick house and said to Zhang Teng: "Big brother, my house has arrived, and my mother is inside." Mother-my sister and I are back, and I'm back buying medicine for you!"

Chen Li suddenly became excited, holding the medicine in his hand, shouting, pushing open the door and running into the house.

Zhang Teng pulled Chen Yi and walked in, only to see that there were only some basic furniture in the house, the furniture was covered with dust, the walls were black, the corners were full of spider silk, and the air was filled with a damp and moldy smell, which didn't look like a house where people lived.

At this time, on the right side of the house, a series of coughs came from a dark room, and a weak, intermittent voice said, "Ahem, cough, cough...... Gifts...... Didn't my mother tell you not to come back......? So...... Disobedient? You take ...... Sister, even if it's outside...... Beg...... Don't come back, there's only a dead end when you come back...... Did you know...... Know...... You know?"

"Woo, mother-"

Chen Yi shook off Zhang Teng's hand and ran to the room where the voice came from with a crying voice. Chen Li ran out of the room with tears in his eyes, said to Zhang Teng, "Brother, I'll decoct my mother first", and hurriedly walked to the left room.

"Well, go ahead. ”

Zhang Teng nodded, and he walked into the room where Chen Li's mother was.

It was a dark and empty bedroom, with only a large bed, a wardrobe, and a stool. The stool was in the corner of the wall, with a lamp running out of oil, and the wardrobe was closed, and the door had opened a few rat holes, revealing piles of clothes.

On the bed lay a woman with a withered and haggard face.

She was about twenty-three or fourteen years old, thin, coughing from time to time, and was gently touching Chen Yi's little head, her eyes full of love.

Seeing Zhang Teng coming in, the woman looked surprised, and Chen Yi said to her, "Mother...... It was this kind brother who sent us back, and he also taught the bad second uncle a lesson and bought us medicine and food. ”

"Oh...... I see, little brother...... Oh no...... Eun Gong ...... The concubine is here to thank her father. cough cough ...... "The woman was extremely grateful to Zhang Teng when she heard this, and struggled, so she wanted to get up and salute Zhang Teng and thank her.

Zhang Teng stepped forward quickly, pressed her shoulder, and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands, Mrs. Chen doesn't have to be like this, you are sick, you should recuperate well, and you should not move more." ”

However, the moment his fingers touched Mrs. Chen's shoulder, Zhang Teng frowned, and his face changed slightly.

Of course, because the room was too dark, Liu didn't notice his expression.

"Well...... The concubine was rude...... Xiaoyi ...... Go and give ...... Grab a stool for Eun Gong and pour a glass of water. Mrs. Chen instructed her daughter. Chen Yi nodded obediently, obediently trotted out, and went to get a stool for Zhang Teng.

At this time, Zhang Teng spoke: "Mrs. Chen, you are a person who practices martial arts, and you have been sick for some time, right?"

Mrs. Chen nodded and said, "Could it be ...... Eun Gong still knows how to heal? Yes...... As Engong said...... The concubine does have martial arts...... And the disease ...... early It was infected long before Chen Village was plagued by tigers. Ignorance...... I don't know why...... Got that question?"

Zhang Teng said: "That's it." I do know some medical skills, if Madam believes me, can you let Chen Li and the two of them not come in first, and let me help you diagnose and treat you?"

Mrs. Chen said, "Engong...... Can help...... Relief...... Our Chen family can see that the house is benevolent and the concubine is natural...... It is the faithful and gracious. Engong wants to ...... How to diagnose and treat, concubine body...... Concubines are indispensable...... Don't listen!"

So, according to Zhang Teng's words, she let the Chen Li brothers and sisters stay outside, and they were not allowed to come in no matter what they didn't want to do without her instructions.

Zhang Teng took out the fire fold, took the oil oil, and lit the oil lamp in the room after refueling. After that, he found a small wooden barrel with a lid, came to Mrs. Chen's bed, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and sat sideways on the edge of the bed.

Zhang Teng said to Mrs. Chen: "Please take off the clothes on your body so that I can heal." ”

"Huh?"

Mrs. Chen was taken aback when she heard this, and when she saw that he had a serious face, clear eyes, and no evil color, she realized that she had thought a little wrong.

Then, a sickly flush swelled up on her pale face.

With a bang, she took off the clothes on her body as she said, but she turned her head away, and her eyes didn't dare to look at Zhang Teng.

Zhang Teng glanced at her body and couldn't help nodding secretly.

This Mrs. Chen, before she got sick, was afraid that she was a beautiful young woman with an excellent figure. Even if it is described as withered now, I can vaguely see the beautiful silhouette of the body. However, now Zhang Teng has no other filthy thoughts, and only wants to diagnose and treat her.

Strictly speaking, Mrs. Chen was not suffering from a disease, but was parasitized by a soul eater. And this "disease" can only be diagnosed and treated by Zhang Teng!

"Mrs. Chen, offended!"

Zhang Teng's face was solemn, and as he spoke, the white light of his right hand shone brightly, and he slapped his palm on Mrs. Chen's dantian. I only heard a moan from Mrs. Chen, followed by a piercing scream in her body, and a mass of living creatures rushed from her dantian to her throat, rushing out of her mouth quickly.

It was a blood-red, tentacles, red-glowing globular creature with a disgusting and terrifying appearance.

Zhang Teng's eyes were quick, he picked up the small wooden barrel, grabbed it at once, and waved the dagger again and again, stabbing it to pieces.

"Squeak ......"

Even so, the creature was not dead, it still hissed and tried to escape. Zhang Teng quickly closed the lid of the wooden barrel, walked out of the house in a hurry, turned the wooden barrel upside down, poured oil on it, added some firewood prepared earlier, and burned it to ashes.

After doing everything, Zhang Teng did not leave.

After a hasty meal at Chen Li's house, he created some traps around Chen Li's house, and was busy until dark before falling asleep on the ground.

At night, everything is silent.

After Liu's autophagy larvae were expelled, his body was still weak, but it was much better than before. After drinking some porridge water at noon, she fell into a long slumber and has not yet woken up. The Chen Li brothers and sisters snuggled up to her, and after a tiring day, they also fell asleep.

"Roar!"

However, in the middle of the night, an earth-shattering tiger roar outside Chen Village suddenly shattered the tranquility and plunged the surviving villagers who remained in the village into a panic.

"Demon Tiger!"

"Demon Tiger! Run, that beast is eating people again!"

"God, who can save us Chen villagers?"

"Run, where else are you running? Heaven is going to cut off my Chen village. ”

"Evil beast, Lao Tzu fought with you!"

"Ahh

"Chen Wulang was eaten by the demon tiger!"

"Help! Help—"

......

For a while, the villagers cried, scolded, screamed, cried for help, and wailed...... Intertwined, resounding over Chen Village.

Zhang Teng was awakened by the first tiger roar.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go out and have a look, stay in the house well, don't go out!"

He comforted the Chen family, who were also awakened and trembling, and calmly walked out of the house alone, carrying a big knife and a spear. Closing the door, Zhang Teng looked in the direction from which the tiger roared and strode over.

"Engong be careful, you must return safely!" came Liu's shout behind him.

"I will!

Zhang Teng replied, and the person had disappeared into the vast night.

In the house, Liu quickly lowered the horizontal bar behind the door and found something to hold the door up. At this time, Chen Yi looked up with tears in her eyes and asked Liu: "Mother, will the good brother also be eaten by the demon tiger like his father?" Xiao Yi is so scared, Xiao Yi doesn't want the good brother to go out, so I'm afraid that the good brother will also die." ”

Liu's nose was sore, tears flowed, and he squatted down and hugged her tightly and comforted: "Xiaoyi, don't be afraid, my mother is here...... Mother protects you...... You must know that brother is a good person...... Good people are fine. ”

"I hope God will bless Engong and let him come back safely......" I prayed silently in my heart.

Chen Li on the side hugged her arm tightly, looking at the closed door silently.

At this moment, he really wants to grow up quickly, learn a skill, be able to protect his mother and sister from the claws of the demon tiger, and be a man who shelters from the wind and rain, and stands up to the sky.

Zhang Teng held the big knife tightly, his steps kept accelerating, the wind was whistling in his ears, and the one in his chest was beating fiercely.

When he saw the huge and fierce black figure from a distance, his eyes burst with an unprecedented glint of courage.
