Chapter 18: The Trouble of Lianshan Village
It was late at night, Chu Jun returned to Qinglu, and after practicing the basics of gathering spirits and wind decisive as usual, he went to sleep.
In Lianshan Village, Liu Yanchen sat alone outside the house after his grandfather fell asleep, and his body was injured by Niu Bile and others during the day, and he was still in pain.
This is not the first time Liu Yanchen has been bullied, when he was ten years old, his parents were killed on the way out to sell goods.
His father was killed by horse thieves and his mother was captured.
The horse thief sent a letter back to Lianshan Village and asked the people of Lianshan Village to raise money to ransom people, but the villagers at that time said that Liu Yanchen's mother was captured by horse thieves, and even if she redeemed it, it would be ruined and moral.
If her mother was a chaste martyr, she should have died and martyred her husband, and how could she have the face to send a letter back asking everyone to raise money for ransom. ’
For a time, her mother was framed as a prostitute from a woman from a good family.
Not only did no one in the village lend a helping hand to save Liu Yanchen's mother, but they all fell into the ground.
Among these people, they even detain Liu Yanchen's mother's mother's family.
Only Liu Yanchen's grandfather became the seller, and handed over all the money he had saved by Liu Yanchen and his wife's hard work over the years to sell medicine, grain and mountain goods.
But after that, the horse thief never sent a letter, and no one knew whether Liu Yanchen's mother was alive or dead, or even no one cared about it at all.
Liu Yanchen has therefore become a wild seed in the eyes of everyone.
Grandpa has been taking care of Liu Yanchen's emotions very carefully.
also deliberately took Liu Yanchen from his original home in the east of the village to live at the foot of the mountain in the north of the village, just to let Liu Yanchen stay away from people's right and wrong.
Liu Yanchen has hatred in his heart, he hates horse thieves for destroying humanity and killing people, hates these villagers for their selfish, disgusting, and ugly faces, and hates that they all deserve to die.
hated the injustice of the world, and even had the idea of hating his mother.
There was a moment when he thought that if his mother could die with his father on the spot, he might not be criticized by the world, and he would not have suffered so much unwarranted humiliation.
But such thoughts were finally dispelled by himself, and he knew that it was not his mother's fault.
He knew how gentle and virtuous his mother was, and he knew that if his mother had a choice, she would definitely do her best to protect herself from being hurt in the slightest.
Now that Liu Yanchen is thirteen years old, he begins to have a reverie for the future, he doesn't want to stay in this Lianshan Village for the rest of his life, guarding this half acre of land, but he can't leave now.
Grandpa is getting older and older, and grandpa can't do without him.
Liu Yanchen could only secretly practice martial arts to prepare for leaving Lianshan Village in the future.
He had a copy of the martial arts introductory exercise [Thunder Fist] in his hand, which his father bought from a wandering Taoist when he went to the imperial capital a few years ago to sell goods.
Liu Yanchen's father also hoped that he could practice martial arts and have a good skill, so he also personally instructed Liu Yanchen.
But Liu Yanchen's father's martial arts cultivation is not high, and he can't teach much, so this [Thunder Fist], Liu Yanchen has not fully integrated it.
However, after cultivating in the past few years, it is still very effective for Liu Yanchen to strengthen his muscles and bones, otherwise he would have been beaten by Niu Gut and others every few days in the past few years, and he would have been disabled a long time ago.
Liu Yanchen was immersed in the memories of the past, his eyes were moist, but the stubborn tears never flowed.
Suddenly, a few clusters of firelight lit up in the distance, and the location of the firelight was about the east end of the village, because Liu Yanchen's family lived in the northernmost part of the village, far away from the east end of the village, so he could only see the firelight, but could not hear the sound.
Liu Yanchen stood up, looking at the fire in the east of the village with a tendency to get bigger and bigger, and knew that it must be water, according to this fire, it will not be long before the entire village will suffer.
Although his home is far away from the source of the fire, Liu Yanchen still understands the truth that there are eggs under the nest.
He immediately went back to the house to wake up his grandfather, told him that there was a fire in the village, and that he was going to help put out the fire, and asked his grandfather not to worry, stay in the house and wait for him to come back.
Grandpa was full of worries, but he still agreed with Liu Yanchen's idea.
Liu Yanchen picked up the two wooden barrels used for farming at home with a flat pole and went out.
Just when Liu Yanchen was about to arrive at the east end of the village, in the alley, he saw three people in front of him squatting in the corner with their backs to him, as if they were pulling something in their hands.
Liu Yanchen was about to step forward to inquire and inform him about the water, but the three people suddenly let out a few roars similar to beasts.
Liu Yanchen was startled, and quickly dodged and hid in the shadows by the wall, and after looking at it clearly, he found that there was another person lying under the three people, and the person on the ground was motionless, and he was already dead.
And the three were tearing at the flesh of the man on the ground, stuffing it into their mouths and chewing it.
Liu Yanchen, who witnessed this scene, almost didn't scream, his stomach turned upside down, he endured the discomfort, forced the panic in his heart, and rushed to the source of the fire instead, wanting to inform everyone of the incident.
The closer you get to the source of the fire, the more screams you scream.
Although Liu Yanchen didn't know what was going on, his intuition told him not to get any closer, but to stay away from here.
Liu Yanchen turned his mind and ran in the direction of the village chief's house, and met a few people who were biting the same kind along the way, Liu Yanchen quietly avoided it, and when he arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief's house was empty.
didn't find the village chief, Liu Yanchen had no idea for a while, but after witnessing the villagers biting each other one by one, no different from predatory beasts, Liu Yanchen didn't dare to stay longer.
He hurried home and told his grandfather what he had seen.
'Yanchen, the villagers are beasts, this matter is not trivial, you quickly escape from the village, so as not to cause trouble to the fish in the pond. ’
After hearing this, Grandpa didn't doubt the truth of what Liu Yanchen said, and said with a straight face.
"Grandpa, that's exactly what I mean, let's quickly find a place to hide, and I'll help you get out of bed." ’
Liu Yanchen said as he went up to support his grandfather.
"No, Yanchen, you run away, grandpa can't walk, don't drag you down." ’
Grandpa cherished Yanchen.
'Grandpa, if you don't go, I will never go alone, don't shirk it anymore, I will take you with me no matter what." ’
After speaking, Liu Yanchen picked up his grandfather and ran out in stride.
On the way home, Liu Yanchen had already made up his mind to take his grandfather to hide in the bamboo forest outside the village first.
Now that the village has become a sea of fire, the villagers have mutated one after another, Liu Yanchen has a home and cannot return to him, and his grandfather's body needs to be conditioned by Langzhong, for Liu Yanchen, the best way out is to meet Chu Jun again.
Originally, Chu Jun said that he would come back tomorrow morning to see his grandfather, but the village suddenly changed, so he could only hide in the bamboo forest and wait to see if he could see Chu Jun again.
The bamboo forest is full of aura, the plants are luxuriant, and there are many medicinal herbs and wild vegetables for food and treatment, even if you can't find Chu Jun, it will not be a problem to hide in the bamboo forest for three or five days.
