Chapter 61: Tinder
It was getting dark, and there was silence in the wilderness, save for the sound of the river crashing against the shore.
In the distance, three streamers came straight to the big river, and the city lord Fan jumped off the green clouds, carefully searching again, but this time the focus was on the shore, and Ni Junqiu even used a secret method to explore around, but except for Zhang Xiaohu's breath before jumping down the river, there was no gain.
City Lord Fan looked at the river in disappointment, "Let's go, it looks like I really ran away."
The green clouds rose into the sky and disappeared into the distance as streamers.
The river was still flowing, and it did not change much due to the visit of a few people.
When the day finally dawned, the birds began to come out to feed, and from time to time they pecked at a small fish that surfaced on the surface of the river.
Under the water, on the bank of the river, in the mud, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared, and it looked so bright in the dim river water.
Zhang Xiaohu moved, squeezed himself out of the mud, and surfaced to breathe in the air.
It turned out that Zhang Xiaohu had been prepared yesterday, and as soon as he jumped into the river, he reflexively came to the place where he jumped, and there was silt everywhere under the water, Zhang Xiaohu squeezed it lightly, and buried it in the silt, and then quickly converged his breath, wrapped the heart tightly with qi and blood, and his heartbeat was also reduced to the minimum, and the whole person was motionless, just like the hibernating animal, and the heart only beat in a few minutes.
The city lord Fan and the others never thought that Zhang Xiaohu not only did not flee far away, but hid less than a meter under the feet of several people, no matter how the flying sword stabbed, it would not stab at his feet, and his consciousness swept wildly, but he didn't carefully investigate the place where he was, the so-called dark under the lamp is this reason.
It's not that Zhang Xiaohu guessed that a few people would come back, but that he didn't know the time at all when he entered a state of hibernation, but he just silently carried his strength, repairing the damaged lungs little by little, and looked forward to the healing exercises for a long time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
This stay was a night, until the turbid breath in Zhang Xiaohu's chest could no longer be held back, and then came out of the mud.
After all, the flying sword passed through the chest, and the internal organs didn't know how much they were injured, but the skin and flesh were basically healed, and there was only a faint red scar on the chest, showing that this had been seriously injured.
Zhang Xiaohu did not leave the river, but just floated down the river, his body has not yet recovered, he can save some strength, and he can save some strength, and he can just cover his whereabouts by going down the river.
On this day, Zhang Xiaohu was motionless, just spread his hands and feet into a big character and floated on the water, and the birds that flew by from time to time looked at it in amazement, wondering when there was such a big strange fish in the river.
Zhang Xiaohu except for a little mind outside, beware of danger, the rest are put on the exercises, with the continuous influx of strength into the heart, the vitality slowly recovered, except for those lung lobes that will not grow well for a while, the body is no longer in serious trouble.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of falling into the water, and then someone swam towards him in an uproar, Zhang Xiaohu ignored it, anyway, he didn't feel any danger, and he felt that this person was still a mortal.
After a while, the man swam to Zhang Xiaohu's side, dragged Zhang Xiaohu and swam to the shore, and dragged his small hand from there, Zhang Xiaohu felt as if it was a child.
When he arrived at the shore, the owner of the little hand went ashore first, and then dragged Zhang Xiaohu with great difficulty, dragging him up little by little.
"Wake up, wake up" The owner of the little hand shook Zhang Xiaohu, and after a while, he pressed Zhang Xiaohu's stomach, it seemed that Zhang Xiaohu was a person who fell into the water, but the clumsy action, it could be seen that he didn't know how to treat the drowning person.
Zhang Xiaohu opened his eyes helplessly, and what appeared in front of him was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, with a thin body, dark skin, and wet clothes.
"Ah, you're awake" The little boy opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhang Xiaohu happily.
"Thank you" Since you woke up, you are embarrassed to lie down again, Zhang Xiaohu got up and looked around, "Why are you alone, your adult?"
"I'm the only one in my family, there are no adults" The little boy didn't care how Zhang Xiaohu woke up and had the strength to stand up, after all, he was a child.
Zhang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, "You're the only one?"
"I picked it up from the river," the little boy flashed his eyes wide, and he didn't look sad.
"Ah" Zhang Xiaohu squatted down, looking at this child who couldn't find his father like him, and felt a pain in his heart, "Then how do you live?"
"I can chop wood, I can catch rabbits, I can catch fish, I can do anything," said the little boy happily, and it seemed that he was doing well except that he had no parents.
Zhang Xiaohu looked at the little boy and thought for a while, "Do you want to find your father?"
The little boy was silent for a while and said, "I can't find it, Grandpa said that when he picked me up, there was nothing, only a wooden basin"
"Grandpa, who is Grandpa?" Zhang Xiaohu looked into the distance, and it seemed that he was not alone.
This will make the little boy cry, "Grandpa died, Grandpa died of illness when I was eight years old"
Poor child, Zhang Xiaohu thought, I really don't know how the little guy came over these years, "Go, brother is hungry, go sit with you"
"Okay, there is still half a rabbit from yesterday at home, but I have to walk a mile" The little boy wiped his tears and wanted to help Zhang Xiaohu go.
Zhang Xiaohu smiled, shook his head, and put the little boy on his shoulder with a hand, "Where are you going?"
After a while, the two came to an old shack, one or two hundred meters away from the nearby village, and it seemed that the little boy was not doing well.
When he arrived at the place, the little boy took out the hidden half of the rabbit from the grass pile on the side and said to Zhang Xiaohu, "Brother, look, this is the rabbit I caught, and we will eat this tonight."
Zhang Xiaohu stretched out his hand to stop the little boy, and took out a piece of demon beast meat, "Brother has good things here, don't eat rabbits tonight, let's eat this"
This demon beast meat contains a lot of aura, and the little guy can't stand it at all, and after eating a few pieces, he is like getting drunk, his face is flushed, and he falls asleep after a while.
Zhang Xiaohu smiled slightly, put the little boy on the bed, helped him push the palace to invigorate the blood, and tried to let him absorb some aura, others saved you, and took out his only half rabbit, how can you do your best, help a little if you can, anyway, this demon beast has a lot of meat, but there is too much aura in this meat, even if it can't be absorbed during the qi refining period, not to mention mortals, even if Zhang Xiaohu helps, most of them are still scattered.
When I was eating, I realized that this little guy didn't even have a name, and Grandpa said that he picked it up from a wooden basin, so he directly called him a small basin, which made Zhang Xiaohu laugh half to death.
Zhang Xiaohu lived here for more than half a month, every day the small basin went out to catch fish and firewood, Zhang Xiaohu didn't care about him, but only let the little guy eat monster meat at night.
The little guy is not stupid, he has long guessed that Zhang Xiaohu is not an ordinary person, it is not a monk that people in the village often say, guessed this, then he didn't know that this meat was a good thing, and he ate as much as he could every day, but he didn't know that without Zhang Xiaohu's massage, no matter how much he ate, he would eat it for nothing, and he couldn't absorb it at all, but with this half a month, even if he didn't practice anything when he grew up, he was a few points stronger than ordinary people.
When he got up this morning, Zhang Xiaohu stopped Xiao Penzi, who was about to go out, and said, "My brother's injury is also healed, and he is ready to go."
Xiao Penzi looked at Zhang Xiaohu reluctantly, and did not speak, knowing in his heart that Zhang Xiaohu was going to leave sooner or later.
Zhang Xiaohu took out a booklet and handed it to Xiao Penzi and said, "This is for you, and you will practice it every day in the future."
After speaking, Zhang Xiaohu patted the head of the small basin and walked out.
Xiao Basin's eyes were full of tears, but he didn't cry, hugged the animal skin book tightly, and watched Zhang Xiaohu go away little by little.
This is a book made of animal skin by Zhang Xiaohu when Xiao Basin was away, and the nine postures that he first got were drawn on it, and the road was given to Xiao Basin, as for what he would practice in the future, Zhang Xiaohu couldn't control it.
In this world, the refiner is in decline, Zhang Xiaohu also wants to do his best, meeting this simple child, Zhang Xiaohu is a little moved, give money? I don't know if I can keep it in my hand, don't be known, I don't even protect my life, I thought about it, and simply passed on this most basic thing, which can be regarded as leaving a little fire for the refiner, maybe one day the refiner can grow again.
Zhang Xiaohu raised his head and argued the direction, thinking about the agreed place and rushing away, saying that he would meet in Phoenix, this is more than half a month of healing, I don't know what Li Yunlong and Xiang'er are in a hurry.
Zhang Xiaohu was cautious along the way, not to mention the city, it was a village or town, Zhang Xiaohu didn't dare to go in, so he bypassed from the side from a distance, this is still the territory of the Qingyun faction, who knows if the reward has been posted.
Really guessed correctly for Zhang Xiaohu, the Fan City Lord returned to the city and met the messenger sent by the Great Elder, the Fan City Lord had no choice but to honestly confess, the envoy heard that he was against the Zhongzhou Zhang family, how dare he stay, and immediately reported back, the Great Elder learned that it was actually provoked by the Zhongzhou Zhang family, and he couldn't help but be furious, but the person who caused the trouble was his grandson, and after a burst of anger, he still pinched his nose and adopted the method of the Fan City Lord, and sent more than ten Jindan monks to search everywhere like a net.
It's just that Zhang Xiaohu restrained his qi and blood, and ran on the ground again, and when he saw the streamer in the sky from afar, he hid, you think that a place with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, the area is so big, even if there are ten times more Jindan monks, if you want to find someone who intends to hide, you can find it there.
