Chapter 18: The First Killing
As the saying goes: Heaven is unkind, and all things are used as dogs. The saint is unkind, and uses the living soul as a dog. The emperor is unkind and takes the people as dogs. In recent years, the Xuanwu Continent has been fighting for years and wars, with empires competing for territory, kingdoms competing for resources, and principalities plundering each other.
Inside the Abyss Ghost Prison, powerful demon beasts frantically compete for territory and grab food, and many weak demon beasts appear on the periphery of the Abyss Ghost Prison, forming a destruction of the peripheral pattern, and many demon beasts appear on the periphery of the mountain range, attacking villages, guiding the people to live in misery, and their lives are ruined.
In Chu Village, Xiao Chu Hao sat quietly in the courtyard, looking at the rising sun in the distance, thinking about how to do something for Chu Village, it is best to change the appearance of Chu Village, not to make Chu Village lonely, and to have good development.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Xiao Chu Hao's mind, Chu Village has today, but the economy is in a depression, and there is no economic source, if you can sell the demon beasts hunted in Chu Village to a better and higher price, won't you be able to solve Chu Village's predicament?
Xiao Chu Hao lowered his head and thought, if you exchange the demon beast for gold coins and food, it will always be better than eating it yourself, although eating it yourself is good for your body, but you will never have any economic income! But how can you solve this matter? If you go to the town and open a shop that sells demon beast meat, but no one will do it! No one in the village knows how to do business, and there is no experience in this area.
Xiao Chu Hao felt that it was difficult to deal with this matter, it was not difficult for demon beasts, but it was too difficult to find people who could do business, and the money could be paid out first to help the village solve difficulties, but at present, he had no economic income!
Find the village chief, tell the village chief what he thinks, and ask the village chief if he has any opinions. The village chief agrees with this matter, but there are no people in the village who can do business, including the village chief, who only enters the town once a year and exchanges monsters for related items, without any experience in doing business.
After Xiao Chuhao heard this, he was also at a loss, and made up his mind to go to the town or the county government to take a look, and he didn't believe that he couldn't solve this matter.
Xiao Chu Hao said: "Village Chief, I will go to the town and Taihang County after a while to see if there is any solution, it is not possible to go on like this for a long time, Chu Village cannot have a future, we must come up with a way to solve it, otherwise it will be difficult for Chu Village to develop in the future." ”
Of course, the village chief understands Xiao Chuhao's thoughts, although he feels difficult about Xiao Chuhao's thoughts, he must face it, if he does not take a new path, it will be difficult for Chu Village to continue, and the final result is that the village will fall and the villagers will leave their hometowns.
The village chief looked at the figure of Xiao Chu Hao and sighed: "As the village head, I don't have a child's high knowledge, let alone the courage of Xiao Chu Hao, it seems that the future of Chu Village depends on these children, otherwise with my own ability, I can only maintain the status quo!"
The village chief didn't disturb Xiao Chuhao's thinking, but got up silently and opened.
In late autumn, the autumn wind is bleak and the weather is cool, the cicadas are poignant, the cold rain is broken, and after the autumn frost, the grass and trees are withered, and the Chu village looks particularly desolate.
A group of people on the west side of Chu Village stood at the head of the village and waved goodbye to Xiao Chu Hao, they all hoped that Xiao Chu Hao would be safe, and they all hoped that Xiao Chu Hao could become strong, so as to bring opportunities for the village and family to rise.
Xiao Chu Hao left Chu Village in front of everyone, he left with hope, and took the future of the whole village to the distance, to his future world, he and the people in the village have the same goal, that is, Chu Village can become strong.
Although this trip was difficult, Xiao Chuhao had the heart of a strong man, the heart of undefeated, the confidence to win, and a firm determination.
Xiao Chu Hao's thin figure disappeared from the sight of the people of Chu Village and disappeared into the vast dense forest.
A ten-year-old child, with the hope of the villagers, embarked on a journey, and the overweight burden did not make Xiao Chuhao flinch, but also strengthened Xiao Chuhao's death.
There is a town a hundred miles west of the Abyss Ghost Prison, this town is the only town in Taihang County, close to the Abyss Ghost Prison, here is the post station of the county government and the Abyss Ghost Prison, and it is also a transportation hub.
The distance of 100 miles is not difficult for Xiao Chu Hao, in just two hours, he appeared in the town, this town is called Taishan Town, the town is not big, there are more than 10,000 people, and the economy is also very poor, but there are still general living items.
Xiao Chuhao's figure appeared on the streets of Taishan Town, at this time in late autumn, the town was also relatively depressed, there were not many people on the street, there were fewer people coming and going, and the stores on both sides of the street were also closed, and only half of the doors were open.
Xiao Chu Hao observed the entire Taishan Town, pondered the situation here in detail, and finally decided to go directly to the county government, the development here is definitely not good, and the prosperity is very poor.
I found a passer-by on the street, inquired about the route to Taihang County, and finally bought a map of animal skins in the town, and rushed to the direction of Taihang County with the map.
Taihang County is thousands of miles away from Taishan Town, but the road of thousands of miles is nothing to Xiao Chu Hao. Xiao Chu Hao has lived in the Abyss Ghost Prison for three years, and he has run at least tens of thousands of miles in these three years, and for the distance of thousands of miles in front of him, according to Xiao Chu Hao's estimate, it can definitely be reached in two days.
Xiao Chuhao didn't buy transportation, such as horses and the like, ordinary people's mounts were horses, but they also cost the price of fifty silver coins. The mount of the rich family is a demon beast, but the price of a demon beast is extremely expensive, and a third-order demon beast mount costs thousands of gold coins.
Although Xiao Chuhao can afford this money, Xiao Chuhao is definitely not the master of spending money, if he can solve it himself, he will definitely not spend money indiscriminately, in Xiao Chuhao's heart, thousands of gold coins can solve the village's rations for at least half a year, and there is no need to spend this unjust money.
On the pipeline leading from Taishan Town to Taihang County, a thin figure appeared, this figure looked thin, but the speed was very fast, the figure flickered, erratic, fast and scary.
After a group of passers-by found Xiao Chu Hao's figure, they immediately talked about it, and they were all guessing where the young master was, at such a young age, he was so fast.
In half a day, Xiao Chuhao traveled five hundred miles, and when it was close to night, he found a leeward place, meditated and rested, so as to prepare for the road tomorrow morning, and he would definitely arrive in Taihang County before noon tomorrow.
In the dead of night, the autumn wind is bleak and the autumn rain is continuous. Xiao Chu Hao sat on the ground, using Xuan Qi to drive away the cold qi and cultivate, a child of more than ten years old, felt lonely and helpless, and could only rely on himself for everything.
More than a dozen horses appeared on the official road, very fast, dressed in black, as if there was something urgent, rushing towards the direction of Taihang County.
I don't know if it's because Xiao Chuhao is more back or what the reason is, a piece of sewage splashed directly on Xiao Chuhao's face, which suddenly woke up Xiao Chuhao, looked at the dozen people in the distance, and thought to himself, this group of people is rushing late at night, so they don't care about passers-by, they must not be good people.
Xiao Chu Hao's figure shot towards more than a dozen people in front of him, and the speed was so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye.
In an instant, he came to more than a dozen people, and immediately startled the horses, "neigh," the horse barked non-stop, and the man in black saw that it was a child, and did not mean to stop, and directly urged the horse to rush over.
Xiao Chu Hao himself is angry with these people, and when he sees the other party like this, he will give the other party a chance to raise his hunting knife and kill more than a dozen people.
When the other party saw a child, he actually took a knife out and slashed at himself, but he didn't put it in his eyes, and pulled out the saber on his body and raised the sword accordingly, but unexpectedly, the other party was very strong, and he actually cut off his saber, and the hunting knife fell down, directly eliminating the head of the man in black.
Xiao Chu Hao has already exercised the killing decisiveness, since he has done it, he must definitely do it cleanly, and in a few breaths, he will kill more than a dozen people under the horse, and more than a dozen headless corpses are lying on the ground, looking extremely eerie and frightened.
Looking at the dozen or so people on the ground, Xiao Chuhao suddenly had a dirty idea of "body search," came to more than a dozen people, groped in the arms of these people for a long time, and finally found a lot of things, including gold coins, trauma medicine and some sundries.
Holding the things, he walked into the distance, although he did not have the ability to destroy the corpse, but he also knew that he must not stay here for a long time, and his figure disappeared on the official road, and rushed directly in the direction of Taihang County.
For this matter, Xiao Chuhao did not leave a shadow in his heart, although it was the first time to kill, Xiao Chuhao killed a lot of demon beasts, and he also knew the truth of survival of the fittest.
Although Xiao Chuhao does not bully the weak, he is definitely not timid and afraid, most of these people who walk at night are unsightly, and their cultivation is not high, so Xiao Chuhao did not take this matter to heart.
Xiao Chuhao spent a night rushing to Taihang County, and appeared at the gate of Taihang County in the early morning, looking at the tall city gate, his heart was suddenly happy, and a smile appeared on his face.
I thought to myself, I must do something here this time, so that I can sell the demon beast meat in the village, otherwise I will come in vain.
But the reality is cruel, many things don't follow people's wishes, if you think about it, you will succeed, there will be poor people in the world, all of them will become rich.
The majestic city tower, the tall city wall, all made of bluestone, the moss on the city wall and the traces left by the years, it seems that Taihang County is particularly ancient, and the magnificent city gate shows the overlord status of the county government.
Taihang County is ancient, has a long history, this ancient city has a history of thousands of years, here is the capital of a county, here the strong survive, here the army is stationed, here are the ancient sects, here are those historical sect branches, here are countless forces.
Around the hour, the tall city gate opened, the soldiers of the city gate lined up on both sides, the armor on the body was particularly dazzling under the light, the spear in the hand, wiped spotlessly, the head of the spear flashed with cold light, and the convex and concave places on it proved that the spear had been on the battlefield for a long time.
