Chapter 36: The Boy and the Stone

Speaking of which, this young man's vitality is indeed stronger than Zhang An's.

After walking only a dozen miles, the boy woke up.

Although there is no sign of recovery from the injury, the blood that flows out has begun to turn from black to red.

As soon as the young man woke up, he immediately began to struggle, and while struggling, he glared at Zhang An with threatening eyes.

But at this time, he is a fish and meat, and Zhang An is a knife warrior.

Zhang An unceremoniously slashed the boy with a knife.

As for why the teenager was poisoned, Zhang An also had a guess.

He thinks it's the boy and the wizard who have an infighting.

Zhang An felt that the assassination failed, and the wizard wanted to kill people, but the boy was killed or escaped, but the boy was also poisoned by the wizard.

But what the real situation is, Zhang An doesn't know, and he doesn't bother to know.

There is nothing new under the sun, and the horizontal and vertical are just a little dirty.

To Zhang An's surprise, his powerful hand knife did not have much effect, and before he could walk two miles, the young man woke up again and continued to struggle restlessly.

Zhang An struck the boy with another knife and knocked the boy unconscious.

Unexpectedly, this time the boy woke up faster, and after walking less than 300 meters, the boy writhed again.

Zhang An was speechless and stared at the young man who was glaring at Zhang An angrily.

After thinking about it, Zhang An began to coerce and lure the young man.

Who knows that the young man doesn't know whether he can't understand Zhang An's words, or if he really doesn't eat hard and soft, and doesn't give Zhang An any face, he still continues to struggle.

The angry Zhang An pulled out his long sword with a "swish", and with a gloomy face, he made a downward cutting action in the vital part of the young man.

The boy's eyes widened, his face full of horror, and he stopped struggling.

But after being honest for a while, the boy began to get restless again.

Zhang An felt that the young man really couldn't understand what he was saying, so he drew out the long sword again and accurately pressed the long sword between the young man's legs.

Then Zhang An held the sword in his right hand, made a downward cutting motion with his left hand, and said in his mouth, "Emasculated you!"

The boy was honest again.

Then when the boy struggled again, Zhang An hadn't pulled out his sword yet, he only said the word "castration", and the boy was honest.

This young man has a very strong learning ability, and he remembered it after he only said it once.

This discovery made Zhang Anxin move, and his killing intent towards the young man was also a little weaker.

Zhang An's original intention was to destroy the humanity of this young man after thinking about how to deal with this young man with a way to relieve his anger.

But after discovering that the teenager has a strong ability to accept and learn, Zhang An has a new idea.

Tame the boy and bring it under his command.

If this idea succeeds, not only will you have one less enemy, but also one more powerful helper, wouldn't it be much more cost-effective than killing a teenager?

The young man's strong assassination ability made even Zhang An, who had already learned Wang Yue's assassin sword, blush.

Not to mention anything else, if you really encounter a situation where the stone is collected by a master who can't beat it, you can send a young man to steal the stone and take the road of saving the country.

But speaking of which, this young man seems to be a little too stupid, he threatened him several times to castrate him, but he didn't really do it, but he took it seriously every time, and his IQ was worrying.

Well, it's good to be stupid, it's easy to deceive.

So for the rest of the journey, Zhang An began to try to tame this beast-like boy.

But it's a pity that all the way to the quarry, Zhang An's efforts were all in vain.

Except for being particularly sensitive to the word "castration", Zhang An's other words were ignored by the young man, and even refused to eat the food handed to him by Zhang An.

You are quite backbone, Zhang An looked at the young man with amusement and helplessness, and shook his head vigorously to avoid the food handed out by Zhang An.

But when he saw the panicked and frightened look on the young man's face, Zhang An was thoughtful.

Could it be that this stupid child has been poisoned in food before, so he resists his feeding so much?

Teasing the silly boy all the way, Zhang An followed the instructions of the map in his mind and successfully came to the location of the second stone.

He was both glad and had a headache at this time.

He was glad that the second piece should not have been grasped by a master first.

However, looking at the huge open-air quarry in front of him, the corners of Zhang An's eyes twitched.

From this mountain and field of stones, find an inconspicuous stone, what year and month will he find?

He unfolded the diagram in his mind again, thirty-five points of light flickering, but there was no indication of which stone was in front of him.

Even the burning sensation that I had seen the stone before did not appear.

Is there really a stone here? Zhang An was full of doubts, but he could only believe that there were them.

He cursed hatefully and prepared to start his own stone hunting business.

"Woooooooooo ”

"Be honest with me!" Zhang An, who was in an unhappy mood, turned his head and shouted at the young man who was tied to the horse, "If you make any more noise, believe it or not, I will castrate you?!"

The young man, who was writhing and trying to break free, trembled and immediately became honest.

Zhang An furrowed his brows in pain, sighed, and began to bend down to pick up stones.

No response, no.

Neither is it.

Not yet.

Not this one.

He was busy until the sun sank, and Zhang An searched a third of the area.

And even more unfortunately, the stones that Zhang An touched did not react.

Zhang An straightened his waist and hammered his sore back.

Even Zhang An's amazing physique and his constant bending and straightening up made him tired.

Zhang An walked to the side of the war horse that was quietly gnawing on the grass, and took out a piece of cold and hard rice cake from the package and ate it.

While eating the hard-to-swallow rice crackers, Zhang An frowned deeply.

According to the location of the stones indicated in my mind compared to the map in reality, there are several points of light in Qingxu Erzhou, which are connected to the sea, in case those stones sink into the sea, how can I find them?

You must find a way to accurately locate the stones, otherwise you will be able to collect all the stones in the Year of the Monkey.

Zhang An, who was thinking about his own thoughts, inadvertently caught a glimpse of the young man looking directly at the rice crackers in his hand, and Huang Chengcheng's eyes were full of longing.

Zhang An groaned and handed the rice crackers that he had eaten in his hand to the young man's mouth.

The boy stretched his neck and carefully sniffed and sniffed on the rice crackers before he tentatively took a small bite and swallowed it.

After a while, it seemed that it was tested that Zhang An was not poisoned, and the young man couldn't wait to open his mouth again and again, and ate it at the speed that Zhang An was looking for.

Perhaps he was in too much of a hurry, and the boy choked and rolled his eyes.

Zhang An shook his head helplessly, took out the water bladder, took a sip first, and then handed it to the young man's mouth.

Like Zhang An's thoughts, the boy no longer resisted what Zhang An had already eaten, and the boy drank bitterly at the water bladder.

When the young man finished drinking the water, Zhang An suddenly had an idea.

He looked at the boy, took out a porcelain bottle from the package, poured out a pill and swallowed it in his mouth.

The young man looked at Zhang An's movements with straight eyes, and his face turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhang An laughed, pointed at the young man and said happily, "Are you stupid?"

Zhang An naturally didn't poison the water or food, and the pills there were just ordinary medicines that Lu Bu had prepared for Zhang An to suppress the toxins in his body.

However, the young man seemed to regard Zhang An's laughter as a treacherous ploy, and he slowly closed his eyes and put on a state of waiting for death.

But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see myself poisoned to death.

The young man opened his eyes suspiciously, and looked at Zhang An, who had taken out the blanket from the horse's back and collected dead branches around to light the bonfire.

From poisoning to detoxification, and then he has been busy looking for stones, Zhang An has not had a good rest at all, he is already exhausted at this time, and he is ready to take a good rest tonight instead of practicing qi.

Zhang An, who quickly packed up, wrapped himself in a thin blanket, lay on the ground and looked at the sparse starlight, and gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang An, who vaguely felt that there was movement, immediately opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, grabbed the long sword that had been placed in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

"Not good!" Zhang An glanced around, and saw that the horse's back was empty, and suddenly felt bad.

The boy broke free!

He immediately stood up, held his breath, and waited for the battle.

A slight sound of "whoosh" sounded in the air, and Zhang An immediately drew his sword out of its sheath and knocked the hidden weapon that shot at his head from the dark night to the ground.

"Huh?" Zhang An saw that the hidden weapon was actually a stone out of the corner of his eye, and his heart moved.

He held the sword in one hand and the scabbard with the other to bring the stone to his feet, carefully picking it up on the tip of his toe and grasping it in his hand.

The familiar blazing sensation reappeared, and Zhang An hurriedly stuffed the stone into the package on the back of the horse beside him.

This is not a good time to absorb the stones, and if you faint again, won't you let the boy slaughter them?

As a result, Zhang An stood in the night wind and waited all night, but did not see the boy appear.

"Maybe it's gone, right?" Zhang An looked around again, didn't find anything unusual, and slowly put away his long sword.

The stone thrown by the boy was exactly the one he was looking for, and I don't know if it was a coincidence or if the boy could really tell the difference in the stones.

If it was the latter, Zhang An could only sigh.

Glancing at the slightly glowing sky, Zhang An packed up his things and prepared to head to his next destination.

When Zhang An rode his horse for a while and inadvertently turned back, he found that the young man was far behind him.

Zhang An hurriedly turned the horse's head and turned to chase after him, but as soon as he ran a few steps, the boy disappeared.

However, when Zhang An turned around and advanced for a while, he found that the boy had reappeared, still following him from a distance.

Zhang An rolled his eyes, no longer turned around to chase, gave the war horse a whip, and galloped wildly.

On the way to the wild run, Zhang An kept changing the route, but what made Zhang An helpless was that no matter how hard he tried, the young man was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, always following behind him.

Three days later, although he was almost at his second destination, Zhang An was already going crazy.

Although the boy just followed him from a distance for some reason, the two were still enemies after all.

In the past three days, Zhang An didn't dare to absorb the stones in his hands, didn't dare to sleep, didn't dare to practice qi, and even had to pay attention to his surroundings at all times when eating and solving personal problems, for fear that the teenager would make a move at any time.

The high-intensity mental concentration overwhelmed Zhang An.

Rubbing his eyebrows, Zhang An felt that he had to find a way to solve this problem, otherwise he would really go crazy if he continued like this.
