At midnight in late autumn, the moonlight is very light, and the wisps of west wind carry a slight chill. The wind blew gently, so that the people who returned at night couldn't help but wrap their clothes tightly, winter is coming.

On the street, a few street lamps flickered on and off, emitting a faint dim yellow light, echoing the pale moon phase in the sky, inadvertently, adding some wordless charm.

A lonely figure in the dim street lamp, stretched longer and longer, more and more attention-grabbing, his name is Bai Che, a recent college graduate.

At this moment, Bai Che was hanging his head and sitting under the street lamp in great discouragement, nibbling on bread and drinking mineral water. Beside him, there was a stack of papers that looked like resumes.

"The boss refuses, the future is worrying, and Zhilian is out of contact......" Bai Che looked at the phone screen, his face was bitter, and he shook his head self-deprecatingly.

Looking closely, Bai Che's face is handsome, his eyebrows reveal a bit of heroism, he is a little thin, and he looks very Sven. Bai Che was poorly dressed, but he was very clean, making the whole person look very energetic.

After taking a sip of mineral water, Bai Che sighed deeply, he recalled that the interviews during this period of time, all of them ended in failure, and the words he heard the most were, "I'm sorry, we need honest people, you don't meet our company's recruitment requirements." ”

"Huh...... Dishonest ....." Bai Che looked at the resume beside him, and his eyes were a little dazed.

"I'm running out of money." Bai Che said to himself, "But I haven't mixed up my personality yet, I don't even have a job, and I just had a fight with my mother yesterday, what should I do?" ”

"Grabbed the bag...... Snatched the bag......" Suddenly, there was a sharp woman's scream in his ears, which made Bai Che come back to his senses, this voice was very familiar, wasn't this the woman who occupied his entire youth? Finally, he said, "We are people of two worlds, a place you can never reach." Completely cut off Bai Che's thoughts.

The next moment, he saw a man running past him at a rapid pace. However, the people who returned at night were indifferent as if they had not heard the woman's cries.

When the woman saw Bai Che, a subtle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then her expression changed rapidly, revealing an anxious, pitiful look: "Bai Che, I was wrong before, now please help me......"

Bai Che ignored it, stood up and was about to leave, Bai Che knew that this was just her usual method, the woman saw this, grabbed Bai Che's wrist and said, "If you help me catch up with him, I will tell you why your paper is considered plagiarism." ”

Hearing this, Bai Che's heart exploded like thunder, and said, "Gu Miaoting, are you serious? ”

In fact, Bai Che had long suspected that he was a student at a top school and a leader in the entire major, but in the end he made himself infamous for plagiarism, and since then, there have been a few more eye-catching big words in his file: citing articles without authorization, disrespecting the original author, and the repetition rate is 90%.

Because the research was too advanced and touched on many secrets, the author's signature was hidden, and even part of the paper could only be found.

Bai Che pleaded many times, but all of them ended in failure, and the materials for the defense were always submitted like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news, but he did not give up his defense, he has been collecting materials and investigating them.

Although the paper is not directly marked as plagiarism, as long as you are literate, you can understand what it means, which is why he graduated from a top school but has never been able to find a job.

Gu Miaoting nodded, didn't speak, just looked at Bai Che.

Bai Che's heart couldn't be calm, he wanted to know the truth, so he immediately chased after him. Gu Miaoting's eyes moved slightly.

Bai Che's speed was very fast, and in a short time, he approached the man. The man ran away and tried his best, Bai Che was in his youth, it was when he was strong and strong, the most important thing was that he had practiced ancient martial arts, and it was difficult for ordinary people to get close, so he didn't take much effort to force the man to a dead end.

"Stop, there's a dead end ahead." Bai Che said, "Return the bag, and then go and turn yourself in." ”

"You, don't come here." The man looked a little flustered, he looked at Bai Che for a while, then at the dead end, his body slowly moved back, and then, he took out a dagger, which emitted a faint silver light in the moonlight.

"I, I...... This is also my first time, you, don't come here, don't force me. The man's tone trembled, "Let me go, I'll give you the bag ......"

"Okay, as long as you return the bag, I'll let you go." Bai Che said.

"Good...... Good...... Okay......" The man agreed, slowly stepped forward, and handed the bag to Bai Che.

The moment she handed over the bag, Gu Miaoting chased after her, she was out of breath, and said, "Bai Che, hurry up...... Fast...... Catch him, ...... The police...... Coming soon to ......"

When the man heard Gu Miaoting's voice, he was stunned, his hand in front of him froze, anger and fear appeared in his eyes, his voice trembled, and he said, "Why, why, why are you forcing me?" ”

At the same time, his other hand holding the dagger suddenly stabbed into Bai Che's abdomen, and Bai Che was in a trance for a while, but he didn't dodge.

"Sneer......"

I could only hear the sound of piercing my body, and the quiet night was dead in an instant.

Bai Che subconsciously covered the wound, he only felt a maggot-like pain coming to his bones, and then he felt a warm liquid gurgling out of his body, flowing through his thighs, heels, and then to the ground.

Bai Che's body slowly squatted down, his eyes became more and more blurred, and his consciousness began to blur, but he clearly saw that the man changed his panicked expression, turned to Gu Miaoting, and said calmly: "Are you sure his life is in the abdomen?" ”

"Alright, it's done, don't bother with him." Gu Miaoting didn't answer, her voice was calm.

"This kid may not be able to die yet, I'll make up for it again." As he spoke, the man walked over to Bai Che.

Gu Miaoting's eyes lit up, and she said coldly: "It's almost dawn, don't do anything superfluous......

Hearing this, the man smiled stupidly, "Okay, sister, I'll listen to you." With that, he turned and left.

Gu Miaoting took one last look at Bai Che and said softly: "I'm sorry, don't check it again, it's good to do it yourself......"

At this time, how could Bai Che not understand that everything was the reason for the thesis, and his defense was probably effective, and the stakeholders behind it took action.

Gradually, Bai Che felt that the pain in his abdomen had become numb, and he couldn't even feel the blood gurgling out. It's just that Bai Che felt that the strength in his body had disappeared, and his body slowly fell, and a cold gradually hit.

"I ...... I...... Am I going to die? Bai Che struggled to keep his heavy eyes open.

"Huh...... Actually, it's good to be ...... like this," Bai Che muttered to himself, "Alive, really...... It's so tiring...... It's better to ......."

"It's just...... Mom and Dad...... Bai Che's lips moved, "Mom and Dad, my son is not filial, your kindness, I'm afraid, I'm afraid there is only, only the next life will be repaid...... Reported......

————————————

"I ...... Where am I? In the darkness, Bai Che muttered, as if he felt as if his body was floating, as if he was being carried by something, and finally, as if he had fallen, and then stopped moving.

"Hmm......" I don't know how long I have been asleep, Bai Che suddenly felt a strong fragrance of Chinese herbs permeating his mouth and nose.

Gradually, Bai Che opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a wooden room, with some simple furnishings, on which some clay pots and medicinal herbs were placed. There was a skin of an unknown animal on the floor......

He himself was lying on a wooden bed, the dagger in his abdomen had been pulled out, covered with an unknown paste, and wrapped in strips of cloth. Bai Che looked at his hand again, and then pinched his face, and found that it seemed to have a feeling.

"Do ghosts also fear pain?" Bai Che muttered to himself, "Or, I'm still alive?" Did someone save me? So who could it be? Looking at this room full of Chinese herbs, is it an old Chinese medicine doctor? ”

Bai Che was confused, he shook his head, and was ready to find the answer himself, "Is it a person or a ghost, don't you know if you go out and ask?" ”

Bai Che struggled to get up, and the wound in his abdomen ached faintly......

Squeak......

Suddenly, the wooden door opened, and in came a kind-looking old man, dressed in animal skins, and wearing a necklace of bones and teeth, with gray hair and beard, and looking to be a hundred years old.

Seeing Bai Che get up, the old man smiled, "Child, are you awake?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Che was stunned and said, "Old man, I, I'm still alive?" You saved me? ”

"Of course alive." The old man nodded, then smiled, and said, "Huzi found you in the mountains and forests outside the village, so he brought you back, your injuries are too serious, I also tried as much as I could, whether you can wake up, it depends on the creation, fortunately, in the end, the child woke up, and it is not in vain to spend these medicines." ”

Hearing this, Bai Che nodded and said, "Bai Che thanks the old man for saving his life, the great kindness cannot be repaid......

"Hehe, it's a gesture." The old man smiled.

"Mountains and forests? Why did you find me in the mountains? The old man's other words made Bai Che confused, and Bai Che said to himself, "I seem to have heard that man ask Gu Miaoting about my life, and Gu Miaoting told me to do it myself...... ”

Thinking of this, Bai Che suddenly lost his mind.

"Kid...... The child ......" the old man's words brought Bai Che back to his senses.

"Old man...... Where is this place? "And what do you call it?" ”

The old man looked at Bai Che and said, "This is Jiang Village, and I am Jiang Shaojun, the patriarch of Jiang Village." ”

"Jiang Village? Patriarch? Bai Che was dazed and muttered to himself, "Could it be some extremely hidden village?" ”

Seeing Bai Che's frowns, Jiang Shaojun was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Child, your injuries have not healed, you can lie down and rest for a few more days, and I will come to change your dressing regularly." ”

"Thank you Patriarch Jiang for that." Bai Che laughed.

——————————

Since Bai Che woke up, his injuries recovered quickly, in just three days, he recovered seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and then he wandered around Jiang Village to help, because Bai Che knew that no one wanted to raise idlers, not to mention that this Jiang Village person was his own life-saving benefactor, and he should go to help with the work, therefore, soon after, Bai Che became familiar with the Jiang Village people, and the Jiang Village people no longer regarded him as an outsider, and they got along very well, Bai Che felt for the first time the warmth of home.

And the longer they got along, the more Bai Che felt as if he had come to another world, a savage world where he could cultivate.

At first, Bai Che didn't believe it at all, but when he saw that the children in the village who were a few years old could carry hundreds of catties of stones and run around, and when he saw the men in Jiang Village hunting back strange beasts that he had never seen before, he finally believed it. Bai Che gradually got used to this kind of life, which also meant that he was completely separated from that world, and the truth he wanted to pursue in the past didn't seem to matter.

The only thing he was worried about was his parents in that world, and his only friend Lin Yang, who was the only person who completely believed in Bai Che in the plagiarism incident at that time, and he had been searching for materials and evidence for Bai Che.

However, Bai Che was helpless.

In the evening, the men of Jiang Village caught another strange beast, this is a spotted cow, the size is huge, like a small mountain, the women skillfully clean up the spotted cow, chop, cut, marinate, blood, knock bones...... Bai Che also went to help, and he found that he seemed to be the only one who could help in these aspects, but the people of Jiang Village did not dislike him.

At night, the whole village gathers around the fire to roast the spotted cow, and a large group of people eats a large piece.

In the bronze tripod, the blood and spirit grass of the spotted cow are boiling, this is a treasure medicine, which is used for the body refining of the children in Jiang Village, and tonight, they will start refining the body.

"Xiao Che, don't just eat meat, come and have a drink." Jiang Hu picked up a bowl of wine and said with a smile.

"Uncle Tiger, I don't know how to drink." Bai Che replied with a smile.

"I can't learn it." Jiang Hu smiled, "My dog baby learned his father's drinking at the age of five, and now he is so bold and powerful......"

"You're embarrassed to say it." As soon as Jiang Hu finished speaking, Aunt Hu grabbed his ears and said, "Don't think I don't know, it's not you who instigated the dog baby to drink, and the dog baby is going to be drunk when he drinks, and now you still let Xiao Che drink, why don't you drink to death......"

"Xiao Che, what are you going to do in the future, look at your small physique, your strength is very small, in this wilderness, you don't have a lot of strength, and you can't even ask for a daughter-in-law." Jiang Long said with a smile: "When I chased your Aunt Long, I stubbornly resisted a few spotted cows, and now your Uncle Long is still alive and well in bed......"

Before he finished speaking, Aunt Long interrupted him and said, "You just blow it, I don't know how many catties and taels you have?" ”

……

The atmosphere of the dinner was very relaxed and cheerful, and a group of people chatted, drank and ate meat.

Bai Che was full, and then lay down, he smiled, such a day seemed to be not bad.

Several children were thrown into the bronze tripod, and the treasure medicine boiled in the tripod was absorbed by several children, and they screamed in pain, and the screams came and went.

The night passed quickly, and several children had already absorbed the medicinal properties and successfully refined their bodies, and then they could absorb spiritual energy, and then gather into spiritual crystals in the crystal sea in their bodies.

Bai Che opened his eyes, before dawn, the patriarch Jiang Shaojun also woke up, standing in front of the bronze tripod, waiting for the children to wake up.

Bai Che walked over, "Grandpa Patriarch." ”

"These kids succeeded." Jiang Shaojun smiled.

"Hmm." Bai Che nodded and replied, "They are all strong-willed and have endured pain that ordinary people can't bear. ”

"How's your body recovering?" Jiang Shaojun asked.

"Healed. Also thanks to those elixirs. Bai Che replied, "But it's a pity that the Wood Lingzhi, otherwise, these children's refining bodies will definitely reach a higher level." ”

"It can save people, it plays the best role, and it can be regarded as the right place." Jiang Shaojun smiled.

After being silent for a moment, Jiang Shaojun looked at the sky, and in the darkness in the distance, a bright color was gradually opening up, and said, "The sun is coming out soon." ”

Bai Che nodded.

A moment later, the sky in the distance turned white, and the bright colors opened widely, and a ray of golden light pierced through the black in an instant, illuminating the earth.

The first sun rises.
