Chapter 4: The Secrets of the Body

The town on the wharf is named Jingfeng, because there is a low mountain behind it, stretching for six or seven miles, although it is a low mountain, but the mountain peaks are numerous, if you ignore its height, it looks quite meaningful.

The bluestone paved road polished by the ancestors on the mountain trail will also be used by the horse teams that transport goods from the north and south on weekdays, so several settlements have been created in the mountains, providing tea and resting places for the horse teams passing through the mountains.

Zheng Dong and the three of them hurried overnight and appeared in this settlement.

Pedestrians laughed on the streets, and a caravan of horses carrying goods was parked, which was much more lively than usual.

"No, I'm really tired." Zhang Wenqi shrugged his face and walked towards the inn.

Zheng Dong was also a little tired, of course, the most important thing was to be hungry, he followed Zhang Qiwen and greeted the woman in black behind him: "Let's go, Boss Zhang has a treat!" ”

Zhang Wenqi immediately glared at Zheng Dong: "I didn't say it!" ”

Zheng Dong didn't care, laughed, put his arm around Zhang Wenqi's shoulder, and stubbornly walked towards the restaurant first.

The woman in black looked at Zheng Dong, quite helpless, but she also followed.

It's not a meal, there are only idle panicked guys in the restaurant, and when they saw someone entering the door, they hurriedly greeted them.

"Guest, what do you want to eat?"

"Three ......" Zhang Wenqi stretched out three fingers.

"Thirty bowls of braised noodles!" Zheng Dong shouted.

Zhang Wenqi looked sideways at Zheng Dong: "Are you kind?" ”

Zheng Dong stuck out his tongue: "You said to eat and live!" ”

"Guest officer, how much?" The guy was a little stunned.

"Thirty bowls."

"You're just three of you." The guy scratched his head.

Zheng Dong made a small face, and then pointed to the woman in black: "There is a foodie here......"

The guy looked up, but suddenly felt the knife-like gaze of the woman in black, and was startled.

"Go ahead and do it, or that aunt will be angry." Zheng Dong whispered a warning.

The guy nodded again and again, and ran away with a puff of smoke.

"Chef Li, thirty bowls of braised noodles!"

"How much?" A confused man's voice.

"Thirty bowls!"

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, you hurry up and do it, the guest officer is waiting!"

The man ran back, led the three of them to sit by the window, served tea and poured water, and was even more courteous to the woman in black, for fear of upsetting her.

The woman in black wondered, did this guy really think she was a foodie?

Zheng Dong knew it, but the guy just happened to meet the cold gaze that was about to shoot at him, and he sneered at the moment.

The remaining three all looked at him.

Zheng Dong tilted his head, looked out the window, didn't feel embarrassed at all, and chanted: "What a beautiful weather, such a beautiful mountain." ”

"Hey, Zheng Dong, you've eaten a little too much." Zhang Wenqi took a sip of tea and said.

Zheng Dong squinted: "What's wrong, distressed?" ”

"No," Zhang Wenqi shook his head, "I know that you kid is very good, why do you eat so much, can you tell me, and what happened to you last night?" ”

The guy was a clever man, and when he heard this, he immediately walked away.

The woman in black also turned her gaze.

Zheng Dong Zhengse said: "I discovered a secret of my body. ”

"What?" Zhang Wenqi stretched out his head to probe his brain.

"The more you eat, the more you get stronger."

“……”

"That's why I ate so much to keep us safe all the way to the organization."

“……”

"What's the expression of the two of you?" Zheng Dong pouted, "Don't you believe it?" ”

"Can you tell me why you were okay when you were shot last night, and how you stopped the bullet?" The woman in black asked.

"I don't know why I'm fine, I was shot and fell, I felt like my blood was running dry, I thought I was in my prime, and the handsome and beautiful boy died so early, what a pity. Then I fainted and had a dream, in the dream," Zheng Dong bit his lip and thought, "In the dream, I saw a god who was glowing all over his body and had a sun hanging behind him, oh, by the way, I called that human god, and he also told him with a serious face not to blaspheme the gods, he was not a god, what kind of messenger was the messenger." Then he said to me that this was the last chance to use the awakening mechanism, and he didn't expect that all five chances would be wasted on Earth. ”

"I was confused, I couldn't understand what he was saying, I forgot what he said was normal, and then he told me that an immortal body based on light energy devoured a gene-like ability or something."

"He also said a lot, I didn't pay much attention to it, in general, it was like this, the more you eat, the more energetic you are."

"Also, what are genes?" Zheng Dong looked curious.

Zhang Wenqi had an expression of what you were talking about: "Actually, we didn't understand either." ”

The woman in black looked solemn, but did not speak.

"Sister, do you know anything, tell me!" Zheng Dong grinned.

The woman in black pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "I have seen some records of the Enlighteners in a few words, saying that they are the stories of the Inspirers, who have come to the world four times, saved the Celestial Messenger Organization in a desperate situation, and fought against the demons outside the sky. ”

"Four times, is it me? Me, am I that old? Zheng Dong pointed at himself, his face full of reluctance.

"I wish the legendary inspirers weren't like you...... Such a second goods. The woman in black gave Zheng Dong a roll of his eyes.

"Dinner is coming!" At this moment, the man came over with a large plate, on which were five large bowls, and the stewed noodles in them were hot and fragrant.

Zhang Wenqi had been paying attention to his surroundings, and his eyes had changed at this moment, and he noticed that the guy had been standing aside for a while.

Zheng Dong slipped his mouth and straightened up to catch it: "Thank you, thank you!" ”

"Do you want vinegar?" The guy asked.

"Vinegar? Do you eat? ”

"Man, vinegar is eaten by northerners." Zhang Wenqi said.

"You are?" The woman in black stared at the guy with a fixed gaze.

The man had a mediocre face, but his eyes were sharp and his body was athletic, he looked at the woman in black and nodded.

"I came up to pick up Miss Ying, and last night the army here received the news that they were coming to this town. Although they may be awkward on the road, they should also arrive, so go immediately. ”

"I've been here for a long time, I'm familiar with the situation here, I'll take you with me." The guy said, and then raised his eyebrows, glimpsing that Zheng Dong had already swept away the five bowls of braised noodles.

"This brother?" Rao was such a nervous moment, the guy still wanted to ask the boy how he did it.

"I don't have time, I have to eat it quickly, but it's really good for you to use vinegar as a code!" Zheng Dong wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeve and said.

The guy was stunned: "What? ”

"Gotta eat it quickly! You can't do it for nothing! Zheng Dong shouted, and then went straight to the kitchen.

The three of them hurried to follow.

Another five bowls of braised noodles were ready, Zheng Dong ignored Chef Li's surprised gaze, and poured them into his mouth.

"What are you doing? Don't be afraid to choke! Zhang Wenqi looked at Zheng Dong, but his eyes were a little strange.

Finally, he couldn't hold back, and ran forward to grab food with Zheng Dong: "I haven't eaten for almost a day!" ”

The Woman in Black and the Guy: "......"

"Damn, it's burning!" Zhang Wenqi blew again and again, and his mouth was hot red.

"Why aren't you afraid of getting hot!?" He watched Zheng Dong pick up a bowl of noodles and pour it straight into his mouth, without chewing at all.

"Don't you chew?"

"It's too late to savor it!" Zheng Dong was distressed, at this time, the prepared stewed noodles were empty, and the new noodles in the pot on the side were tumbling.

"It's tasteless." Zheng Dong cried, "Am I going to swallow it?" ”

"That's all there is to it!" At the moment of crisis, Zheng Dong had no choice, looking at the stewed noodles in the pot, with a wave of his little hand, the noodles in it actually flew out one by one.

Everyone was stunned.

What's even more surprising is that the noodles flew into the air and disappeared into thin air, as if swallowed by a hidden giant mouth.

"Devouring genes?!" The woman in black shouted softly.

Soon, the noodles disappeared, Zheng Dong was not satisfied, and looked at the jar of mutton on the side.

"The boss remembers to pay!" Zheng Dong shouted, and then hugged the jar and poured mutton into his mouth.

"Let's go." The man looked out the window, and soldiers in yellow uniforms appeared on the street, questioning passers-by, and then ran towards the small restaurant.

The mutton was all in his stomach, and Zheng Dong licked his lips with satisfaction.

"Han Cheng, who are these people?" Chef Li trembled and looked at Zheng Dong in horror.

Han Cheng looked at Chef Li and said apologetically: "Uncle Li, I am organized by the heralds, I'm sorry, these are the people of the organization, I am also leaving, the boss, part of my salary is paid in advance, and there is also the money given by Brother Zhang Wenqi." ”

Chef Li took the money and said, "Hurry up, go quickly." ”

"Uncle Li, take care!" After the man finished speaking, he led Zheng Dong and the others towards the inn.

"There it is!" A soldier in the street saw the woman in black and called out to her companions.

Zheng Dong glanced at the woman in black: "Grandma, your clothes are too easy to distinguish, you have time to change a set!" ”

Everyone rushed to the inn where the horse team was, rushed straight in, and then entered the stable, mounted several horses, cut the ropes, and galloped out.

"What are you doing?!" Someone stopped shouting.

"Boss, pay for it!" Zheng Dong shouted.

Zhang Wenqi almost burst into tears and threw down a small bag of silver dollars.

"It's not enough." Zheng Dong did not forget to look back and remind.

"No money!"

Zheng Dong was embarrassed, although he felt guilty, but he couldn't take care of it.

"Let's go!" The woman in black threw a heavy bag of coins from her arms.

"My sister is the boss!" Zheng Dong shouted in his heart, and then noticed that his horse was not obedient at all, running crookedly, and even running back.

"I don't know how to ride a horse!" Zheng Dong cried.

"Horses run forward, keep up with the men!" Zheng Dong was in a hurry and gave Ma Er a punch, but he didn't control his strength well, and the horse was knocked out directly and fell to the ground.

Zheng Dong jumped down in time: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

"There it is!" The soldier came after him and raised his gun.

"Run!" Zheng Dong shouted and ran away.

"How can you run so fast!" The soldiers watched blankly as the boy crossed a distance of nearly fifty meters in two steps, as if flying.

Zheng Dong was also stunned, he found that he had caught up with the women in black who ran earlier.

"I'm so good!" Zheng Dong was stunned.

These soldiers were obviously of the kind who did not do anything, and after a short chase they gave up, and then fired a few shots into the sky and watched a few people disappear into the mountains.

"No more delays, go straight back to the organization." Han Cheng said to the woman in black, and then led the way and ran towards the vast mountain.

Several people galloped on horseback, stopping a few times to avoid crowded places, and reached the depths of the mountain after three days.

An unimaginably rich village sits in it, and several people arrive at the entrance of the village.

To say that it is rich is not the surprise of the architecture, but the food. In this era when the average grain yield per mu was more than 100 catties, Zheng Dong saw the hills of rice piled up on the flat land in front of the village.
