Zhongyuan Continent, within the territory of Yuling Country.

Early in the morning, in the midst of a lush mountain range.

A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, carrying a half-human-tall and one-foot-thick bamboo medicine cocoon, sat on a rock and gasped.

At a glance, it can be seen that the boy is here to collect medicine.

The young man was tall and thin, wearing black clothes and trousers, with fair skin, smart eyes, clear and bright eyes like spring water, straight nose, red lips and white teeth.

The hair that has just grown over his shoulders is black and fluffy but not messy at all, and with his delicate face, the whole person looks very free and easy.

After a break of incense, the boy regained some of the physical strength he had expended on climbing the mountain.

He wiped the little sweat on his forehead, got up and walked to the edge of the cliff more than ten feet away, and looked down at the cliff, as if he was looking for something.

In the blink of an eye, he saw a medicinal herb on the cliff face halfway up the mountainside at his feet.

He smiled harmlessly and had a mouthful of white, neat teeth.

Skillfully took off the medicine building behind him and put it on the ground, and took out a finger-thick hemp rope from the medicine holder.

He tied one end of the hemp rope firmly to a boulder, and the other around his waist, judging by his skillful movements, he was obviously a veteran of collecting medicine.

After carefully checking that the rope was correct, the young man slowly slid down the cliff with the rope, and after a moment of effort, he arrived at the herb, and he carefully uprooted the herb and put it in his arms.

When the boy was about to climb back to the top of the mountain, a bird more than half a foot long flew out of a bowl-sized stone cave on the cliff of the mountain cliff.

"Larks!"

The boy still saw the appearance of the bird clearly, and called out the name of the bird softly, his voice was clear and crisp, slightly childish.

He dragged the rope to the front of the cave entrance, and reached deep into the cave with his arm out, muttering to himself with some excitement;

"This lark, but the spirit bird, its eggs are the best main medicine, if you are lucky enough to find a few, the value can be worth all the medicinal materials I collected this time. ”

But he groped for a while in the cave, and then he was disappointed, and there were only some hay and branches in the cave to make nests, and there were no birds' eggs.

Just as he was about to retract his arm, his fingers touched a round metal object.

"What is this. ”

The boy took out the object and looked at it carefully, and it turned out to be a bracelet with the thickness of a little thumb, the whole body was jet black, and I don't know what metal it was made of.

On it, there was a small amount of yellow rust, engraved with a symbol the size of a grain of rice, which he could not read.

The boy put the bracelet in his arms, intending to go back home and take a closer look.

But he had barely climbed a foot up when he heard a bang.

When the young man heard this voice, his heart shrank violently, and he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat.

He looked up slowly, looking where the voice had come from, and still saw something he didn't want to see.

Just three feet above his head, the rope that held him alive had been cut by a very sharp rock protruding from the rock wall, and it was about to be cut off.

The young man's eyes were fixed on the place where the rope was open, and he did not dare to move, he knew that the more moments like this, the more he needed to be calm.

If the body moves, the rope will be broken immediately, and there is only a dead end waiting for him.

He held his breath and stretched out an arm very slowly, trying to grasp a raised rock not far ahead.

As long as he grasps on to this last straw, then he has many ways to get back to the top of the mountain.

Just as his hand was an inch away from the rock, the soft sound of a rope breaking reached his ears.

Although the voice was small, it sounded in his mind like a thunderbolt from the sky, making his heart sink to the bottom of the sea at once.

Next, he leaned back uncontrollably, and the person fell off the cliff.

"I'm dead, don't you think this is the underworld?"

When the boy opened his eyes again, he was lying on a wooden bed in a wooden house.

"I'm really not dead, what the hell is going on. ”

The boy bit the tip of his tongue lightly, and the feeling of pain spread through his mind, and he was sure that he was still alive, let alone dreaming.

The boy raised his head slightly, examined his body, and tried to move his limbs.

He found that apart from a few wounds on his chest that had been bandaged and a dull pain, there was not even a single fracture in his body.

The young man looked dazed and stunned, and couldn't believe it, he fell from a height of about forty feet above the ground, but only suffered some skin injuries.

Just when the boy felt that this was unbelievable, the wooden door of the wooden house was slowly pushed open, and a cute little girl in her teenage years reached in.

A pair of watery black and white eyes blinked at the boy a few times, and his head quickly retracted.

Then, the little girl shouted crisply, "Daddy, big brother is awake." ”

"Oh, let's go see him. As a man's voice stopped, the wooden door was pushed open.

A man in his mid-thirties, with ordinary appearance with short hair and black clothes and trousers, and a little girl in a red cloth shirt and pants, walked to the teenager's bed.

"Little brother, does the wound still hurt?" the man asked with a smile.

"One more point, but it doesn't matter, this big brother, you must have saved me. The boy got up slightly and leaned his back against the head of the bed.

"Your life is really big, you fell from a height of forty feet, and you didn't even break a bone, this is the first time I, Wang Hai, have seen this. ”

"When I found you, you had lost a lot of blood and you had been sleeping for two days. Wang Hai looked at the young man with an incredulous expression.

"Thank you, Brother Wang Hai, for saving your life. The young man sat up straight and bowed solemnly to Wang Hai.

"Hehehehe, I accepted your gift, little brother, what is your name and where are you from. Wang Hai smiled heartily, and then changed the topic.

"My name is Lin Feng, and I live in Sanlipu. The boy replied.

"Sanlipu, it's only a dozen miles away from here, you have a good rest first, and when the injury is healed, it's not too late to go, little girl, let's go, let Lin Feng's little brother have a good rest." ”

After Wang Hai finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room slowly with Xiaoya, and the little girl called Xiaoya was very well-behaved, and did not forget to close the door casually.

After the two left, Lin Feng raised his left hand and subconsciously scratched his head.

He really couldn't figure out that such a strange thing happened to him.

When he put down his hand, his eyes widened, and he looked blankly at the wrist of his left hand, and he was stunned for a few breaths before he slowly reacted.

He was in the lark cave, and the bracelet he accidentally found somehow ran to his left wrist.

He tapped the bracelet lightly, trying to take it off, and then something drove him crazy.

He found that the inner diameter of the bracelet was much thinner than the hand bone, and it was stuck in the bone joints of the wrist and could not be removed at all.

"Evil Gate, how did you put this bracelet on? ”

He muttered in wonder, and looked closely at the bracelet, the yellow rust on it had disappeared, except for the small symbols that he couldn't read, there was not even a trace of cracks, obviously, it was a whole bracelet.

The corners of Lin Feng's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked confused.

But after a few breaths, it dawned on him, and he said to himself, "Is this a treasure, maybe I'm not dead, and it has something to do with this inconspicuous-looking bracelet." ”

At this time, as the footsteps outside the house approached, a woman in her thirties wearing a blue cloth skirt and an ordinary appearance pushed the door and walked into the house.

"Little brother, hurry up and drink a bowl of chicken soup while it's hot, it's good for your body, my man has gone into the mountains to make soup with two pheasants in the past two days, so that you can make up for your lack of qi and blood. ”

The woman's tone was gentle and concerned, and as she spoke, she handed the porcelain bowl in her hand to Lin Feng.

"Thank you, Brother Wang, sister-in-law Wang. Lin Feng hurriedly thanked him, didn't twist it, took the bowl and raised his head, and drank a large bowl of delicious chicken soup cleanly.

Seeing Lin Feng finish drinking all the chicken soup, Sister-in-law Wang took the bowl in Lin Feng's hand, smiled slightly, and turned around and walked out of the room.

After Sister-in-law Wang left, Lin Feng slowly got out of bed and stood up straight, moved his limbs a few times, and felt that his limbs were just a little sore, and there was no big problem, so he put on his shirt and walked out of the room.

One person came to the high fence yard, Wang Hai was chopping firewood, Wang's sister-in-law was washing clothes, and Xiaoya was squatting on the ground, looking at the ants crawling on the ground with interest.

Finding that Lin Feng walked out of the house, looking very good, Wang Hai and Sister-in-law Wang were just about to say something, but they heard a man's slightly shrill voice coming from outside the courtyard gate.

"Wang Hai, are you ready for this year's rent?"

Before the voice fell, the courtyard door was pushed open, and a tall and thin man in a purple brocade gown, with a long face in his forties, strode into the courtyard.

Behind the man, he followed two big men in black, both of whom were big-shouldered and round-waisted, with horizontal flesh on their faces, and they were not good people at first glance.

When Wang Hai heard the words of the visitor, his body trembled, and he hurriedly put down the axe in his hand, walked a few steps quickly and bowed;

"Steward Wang, this year's harvest is too poor, you also know this, if you plead with Wang Yuanwai and give me a few more days, I will definitely pay you the rent. ”

At this time, when Sister-in-law Wang saw the three of them, she was even more panicked, and hurriedly picked up Xiaoya and stopped Xiaoya's head in her arms, for fear that Xiaoya would be frightened.

"Hmph, I have pleaded for you many times, Wang Yuanwai has given you grace for many days, and I haven't received any money today, and we don't have to eat at Wang Yuanwai's mess.

"Give me a hand, the old ones will be slaves, and the little ones will be sold in the kilns. Steward Wang looked ruthless, and waved his hand without looking back.

"Yes. The two big men said yes in unison, both of them had a lewd smile on their faces, and rushed towards the sister-in-law and the little girl quickly.

Sister-in-law Wang looked frightened, hugged the frightened little girl who kept crying, and retreated in panic.

Wang Hai's heart was like ashes when he saw this scene, and he knew that today, Steward Wang would not let go of their family of three.

If the wife and daughter are taken away by the king's housekeeper, then their fate in the future will be extremely miserable, and it is no better than dying there.

Without his wife and children, what is the meaning of his Wang Hai's life.

Thinking of this, Wang Hai's eyes were already bloodshot, he gritted his teeth, picked up the axe on the ground, and slashed directly at the king's housekeeper Tianling Gai.

At the same time, he yelled hysterically, "If you don't let our family live, I'll fight with you." ”

"Hmph, it's up to you. ”

Steward Wang's eyes were micron, his eyes were cold, and he snorted coldly, a seemingly unpleasant sideways movement, but he happened to dodge the oncoming axe, raised his leg and kicked Wang Hai in the abdomen.

Wang Hai only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and his body flew upside down like a broken sack more than two feet away, and he fell on his back facing the sky, and suddenly, a large amount of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

It's a long story, but it actually happens in a few breaths.

Lin Feng stood aside, looking at these in his eyes, his fists were already clenched tightly, and he had long lost his blood.

Although Lin Feng didn't know how to practice martial arts, he could see at a glance that Steward Wang's kick was very accurate, otherwise, Wang Hai would not just vomit some blood.

Obviously, this steward Wang is a martial arts practitioner, and he is also a master.

Even so, he couldn't stand idly by, if it weren't for Wang Hai, he would have fed the beast a long time ago, where would he still be alive until now.

If he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and opens his eyes to see Sister-in-law Wang and Xiaoya being snatched away by Steward Wang, then he is no different from beasts, and he is not worthy of being a man.

Lin Feng couldn't stand it anymore, so he had enough confidence to shout, "Stop it." ”

The two big men were stunned, and they looked back at Lin Feng with a smile, and for a while, they were actually stunned by Lin Feng's righteous and awe-inspiring momentum.

"Where did you come from, wild boy, get out of the way of Lao Tzu, hinder Lao Tzu's good deeds, I will send you to see the king of Hades. ”

Steward Wang snorted coldly, his tone was extremely indifferent, like a human life, which was insignificant in his eyes.

Lin Feng took a few steps forward, blocking his body against the sister-in-law and the little girl, with the slightest expression of not wanting to back down, and said in a cold voice, "Today's matter, I am in charge of it, master." ”

"Yohe, since you kid is looking for death, I'll give you a ride and report your name, and my subordinates won't die nameless ghosts. ”

Steward Wang's tone was full of sarcasm, his eyes were micron, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.

Obviously, this Wang steward regarded Lin Feng as a martial artist, and he didn't forget some rules of the rivers and lakes before he started.

"Lin, Feng!" Lin Feng said loudly word by word, not afraid of the other party's momentum oppression.

When the two black-clothed men heard the conversation between Lin Feng and Steward Wang, they all took a few steps back and looked at Lin Feng like dead people.

They all knew that this steward Wang had already moved to kill, and this was the rhythm of killing.

"Little brother Lin Feng, you, my Wang Hai has received your heart, you better leave quickly, you are not his opponent, this Wang Steward is ruthless, don't take your life in vain. ”

Wang Hai wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth, his breath was a little unstable, and he said anxiously.

"It's late. ”

Before the words fell, Steward Wang walked in front of Lin Feng in just two steps, and raised his hand to punch Lin Feng in the chest.

Lin Feng only saw a black shadow flickering in front of him, and the next moment, his chest seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and the whole person flew out upside down and hit the wooden house, shaking the wooden house slightly.

Lin Feng felt that all his internal organs were displaced, his throat was sweet, and then, blood overflowed from his mouth, and he felt weak on the ground.

"I thought you kid had two hits, but I didn't expect me to look away, just a punch was just three percent of my strength, this palm, I will send you back to the west." ”

Steward Wang walked in front of Lin Feng in a few steps, his arm was full of ninety percent strength, and he slapped Lin Feng's Heavenly Spirit Gai fiercely.

If this palm slapped on Lin Feng's head, then Lin Feng's head would be no better than a broken watermelon.

Lin Feng sat on the ground, his back against the wooden house, he didn't even have the strength to move his arms, he knew that he couldn't dodge this palm at all.

Looking at the rapidly enlarged palm in front of him, he simply smiled indifferently and closed his eyes.
