Chapter 12: Metamorphosis

Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "That's someone, get out."

I don't know who shouted, and the five guards and the little guy hurriedly ran in the direction of Tianhe.

When Tianhe heard this, he pulled his younger brother and fled quickly without concealment.

The medicine prepared by the rich man's doctor was really good, and Tianchen was very useful. After just over 20 days, the fire poison in Tianchen's body was completely removed.

Before Tianhe and the others could run out of twenty zhang, they were caught up by the guards and surrounded by the group.

"You are so bold, you actually caught the attention of Master Liu's dog, and ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall. The leader of the guards is a sturdy middle-aged man, the tiger's back in this life, as strong as an ox, he took a step forward and shouted after looking at Tianhe, and his voice was extremely loud.

"We just passed by here, and we just smelled the scent and came here to look at it, and we didn't know what you were talking about? Tianhe looked worried, then pointed in a random direction and explained.

"This—" The leader of the guards, who had a bit of a bad head, touched his head and hesitated.

"Don't stop them talking nonsense, you see the oil on their mouths is still shining! The little guy stared at the two of Tianhe with tears on his face, and said hatefully.

"Wang, Wang." The big white dog obviously knew that Tianhe was lying, so he yelled at them.

"It doesn't matter if they are not, this place is extremely desolate, there is no one around, if you don't catch these two guys and go back to their lives, do you think the master will let us pay the difference?"

"Yes, it's really unlucky, I thought I could make meritorious contributions, but now I look at it, even if I arrest them back, I will be scolded."

"Hurry up, the wind is blowing strangely and cold this night, and I don't feel well."

"Okay, then you go up and catch them, be careful not to get killed, look at their bodies, they are very brittle."

"Hehe, it's okay captain, even if he dies, what's the point? Now that there are so many refugees who have fled, what is it if one or two are killed or injured?

The guards chattered for a while, and after getting the leader's consent, the two Chaotianhe slowly approached with a sinister smile on their faces.

There was another sharp pain, as if tearing my heart, I don't know how many times.

Countless fingers were tearing, countless mouths were gnawing, sneering, and the sound of bones shattering came from far and near.

Tianchen opened his eyes with great difficulty, and there were two familiar faces in his eyes.

"Dad, Tianchen is awake."

"Well, well, it's good to wake up, it's good to wake up.

These two voices are "Big Bull" Second Uncle Zhang?

Tianchen tried his best to run his stagnant head, and then blinked his eyes, and then he saw the two faces in front of him clearly.

One is a big boy with tears in his eyes but a smile on his face, and the other is a middle-aged man with a thin face, looking at him with red eyes, and it is difficult to hide his joy between his eyebrows.

It's them! Da Niu has lost weight, and Uncle Zhang, how can he lose weight like this? Is there a shortage of food at home?

Tianchen slowly turned his brain and began to think back to the previous events.

By the way, why am I here, I remember eating barbecue with my brother last night, the barbecue is delicious.

Thinking of this, Tianchen couldn't help but smile a little.

"Dad, look, Tianchen smiled, he smiled."

"Well, I saw Tianchen, how are you doing? Da Niu, you quickly invite Lang Zhong and let him show Tianchen again."

"Yes, Daddy."

A rush of footsteps faded away, followed by a burst of chaotic footsteps.Tianchen vaguely saw some handsome big cow pulling a white-haired old man to come to him.The old man looked in a bad state, drunk, and he didn't know what he was scolding, he couldn't hear clearly, and then the old man burped a few times, and a pungent smell of wine came out.

"Hurry up, old man, this man has finally woken up, if you have anything to check, just ask first." Da Niu pinched his nose and asked with a frown.

"Ask? What is there to ask? My Zhang Banxian is not a medicine to cure the disease. No need to ask, this kid is very good, even if you all die, this kid can't die. The white-haired old man had an extremely bad attitude, and he wanted to go out as soon as he was drunk with the sleeves of his robe.

"But you didn't use any medicine last night, sir, do you want to take another look and get him some tonics?" Zhang Bao was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to speak out, he squeezed his fists and said euphemistically.

"Didn't I give you something yesterday and told you to feed him, but you didn't?" The white-haired old man turned around and asked.

"Hey, hey." Zhang Bao seemed to think of something, his expression suddenly hesitated, and changed a few times, which was very unnatural, but he still nodded and admitted.

"Isn't that enough, with that thing, what tonic is there?" The white-haired old man snorted, flicked his sleeves, and was about to turn around and leave.

"That's just you rubbing a lump of dirt from your body and letting me feed him with a drink.This, what kind of medicine is this? Don't play tricks on people, in order for you to save him, for the sake of the wine money you want to drink, I even sold my wife! If you don't take care of people for me today, Lao Tzu will tear down all your old bones one by one and use them as chopsticks!" Zhang Bao couldn't hold back any longer, got up and came to the old man's side in a few steps, put his right hand on the old man's left shoulder, and grabbed it hard.

"Oh, the good man spares his life! I didn't say that it won't be cured, but this kid's health has been cured, and as long as he rests for a few more days, he will return to normal. The white-haired old man screamed in pain, and he gasped in pain, only then did he sober up a little, and begged for mercy again and again, and his tone was much better.

Zhang Bao thought about it, what the old man said was also the truth, and immediately slowed down his hand and signaled to Da Niu.

"It was caused by Zhang Bao's impatience just now, and he was a little reckless, I hope Mr. won't blame, Da Niu, don't take Mr. down to rest."

Da Niu was so smart that he immediately agreed and walked away with the white-haired old man.

"Chen'er, where did you and Tianhe go? How could you come back with such a serious injury, if it weren't for luck, I'm afraid that even if you didn't drown in the river, you would have been eaten by those refugees, but they didn't even vomit bones.

By the way, what about my brother? I remember being surrounded by bad guys last night, and then my brother was beaten up by them to protect me...... I was dragged out and beaten up, and then I wanted to kill someone...... Countless pairs of eyes, like countless deaths in the dark night, stared closely at everyone present...... Desperately trying to escape, there is a small river in front of him......

Fragments of memories floated through his mind, and gradually, Tianchen's confused eyes suddenly flickered, as if he recalled something profound and terrifying......

"Ahh

A hissing howl came out of Tianchen's mouth, and then Tianchen rolled desperately on the grass with his head full of fear, and finally Zhang Bao summoned the big cow, and the two of them together, which controlled Tianchen who was like crazy.

Zhang Bao touched the sweat on his forehead, looked at Tianchen who had fallen asleep, and his heart was full of worry.

In the past few days, Zhang Bao has been frowning and at a loss, Zhang Daniu is helping to do some housework, and he is already very skilled in lighting a fire and cooking.

Fortunately, Tianchen was really as the white-haired old man said, just like that, he recovered little by little, and on the fourth day he woke up, he was able to walk on his own, and on the seventh day, he had returned to normal, helping the big cow to do some housework.

It's just that Tianchen seems to be a different person compared to before.

He is not doing what he wants, he is impulsive and irritable, he looks ahead and backward in doing things, and begins to consider things from the other party's point of view.

Zhang Bao and Da Niu saw it in their eyes, although they felt strange in their hearts, but they were happy about the changes in Tianchen from the bottom of their hearts.

"My brother, he's dead!"

Tianchen answered this question calmly.

Zhang Bao, Da Niu was very puzzled by Tianchen's answer, Tianchen didn't explain too much, and Zhang's father and son were also very knowledgeable and didn't ask much.

It turned out that several people rushed up that night, Tianhe, in order to protect his weak brother, did not resist and escape, leaned over to protect Tianchen under him, and let him punch and kick, just don't let go, until these guys are tired, or don't let go.

A guard kicked Tianhe far away, and at this time, Tianhe was already bleeding from his mouth and nose, motionless, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Tianhe was protecting his younger brother until death, so Tianchen didn't suffer much damage, and one of the guards was a little upset when he saw Tianchen cowering, so he took out a dagger and began to abuse Tianchen to satisfy his perverted desires.

Tianchen was stabbed several times by him, but this person just wanted to vent some perverted intentions, thinking about taking his time, so he didn't rush to kill the killer, Tianchen was not the key to the attack.

Under the carelessness of this guard, Tianchen dodged the short blade in his hand, borrowed the method of 100 steps and 18 turns, and pierced the short blade through the guard's throat at an extremely clever angle...... Stabbed after stabbed until the guard was stabbed beyond recognition, and the dead could no longer die.

Several people around were stunned by this reversal, and they were all shocked by Tianchen's ferocity for a while, and they didn't dare to step forward in place.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, more than 20 wild dogs appeared around at some point, surrounded them in the middle, and came to recruit yellow finches behind.

"Whew!"

With a howl, the wild dogs began to rush up and fight with the crowd.

Although the guards were not afraid of these vicious dogs, they were entangled by them, and they were also tied up for a while, enough for them to toss.Tianchen turned around and ran, and most of the wild dogs that pounced on him were attracted by the blood and began to eat the corpse of the guard, only two wild dogs were still chasing Tianchen.

In the process of escaping, Tianchen slashed the two vicious dogs again.At the same time, the bloody aura attracted more wild dogs to pounce, and he was delayed for time, and there were several more claw marks on his body, and his speed was greatly reduced.

There is no way forward, there are pursuers behind, Tianchen has nothing to do, so he has to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and jumps into the river with his head covered.

The two brothers of the Heavenly Family left the refugee team without saying a word, Jiang Yun has been blaming himself after finding out, Zhang Bao and Da Niu were relieved again and again, and they were also very worried in their hearts.

Life has to go on, Zhang Bao and his wife have to take the big cow and continue to move east in the refugee crowd.

The river is not too big, but the sound of the rushing water still makes these refugees show a rare joy.

If there is a river, it proves that the water here has not been exhausted, it proves that they are close to the edge of the drought, and a little further on, they can escape the misery and find a suitable place to live!

Seeing that their faces are dark, weathered, and hard for more than a year, isn't it just to see such a piece of hope?

The refugees, who had to bathe for nearly a year because of the lack of water, couldn't help but jump into the lower reaches of the river and began to play in the water frantically to clean their bodies.

The same is true for the Zhang couple, but after they showed their joy, an indescribable loneliness floated in their hearts, like a cloud of sorrow, lingering.

At the beginning, they brought out the three children of the Heavenly Family, in order not to let the incense of the Heavenly Family be cut off.

The refugees stopped by the river for two or three days, and then they got up and set off, but some of them decided to follow the river south and north, and settled here.

After all, they had already heard from some new refugees that in recent years, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had ended the struggle for hegemony among the five kings, and Emperor Li Jianping had ascended the throne, and the situation had stabilized.

It is rumored that in the war between the two countries, the number of monks alone reached millions, not to mention the number of mortal troops left behind to occupy and manage, what an astronomical amount! If you stay here, you may be forcibly conscripted into the army, and it will be good to be able to save a life at that time, let alone live a peaceful life.

Therefore, the Zhang couple decided to take advantage of the fact that the battle line was still burning in the north of the Lianghe River Valley, and they hurriedly crossed the south, and then crossed the Xiang River to reach the central hinterland of the Eastern Zhou Empire.

After the Zhang couple finished discussing, they wanted to rest for the night and set off tomorrow, but at this moment, a corpse floated in the upper reaches of the river.

When some of the refugees saw this, they were overjoyed, threw themselves into the water and fished up the corpses, and planned to dismember them directly and have a full meal.

After all, this is a group of refugees who have been cornered by hunger, as long as they can survive, like Yi Zi and eat, it is just a pile of meat in a pot.

Fortunately, Jiang Yun saw that the clothes on the corpse were very familiar, and after thinking about it, he found that it was the clothes he put on for Tianchen with his own hands, and hurriedly asked Zhang Bao to go up and stop it.

These refugees who have lost their humanity also found that the "corpse" seems to still have a breath of breath, and it is not completely dead, Zhang Bao and his wife hurriedly carried out treatment, and after giving these refugees some small money, they asked for the "corpse" back.

Tianchen's life was temporarily saved, the Zhang couple was overjoyed, how excited they were, and the regret in their hearts suddenly decreased a lot.But Tianchen has been with a high fever, and often yells in fright, his body is weak and abnormal, as if he will return to heaven in the next moment, and he doesn't know which force has been supporting him.

Two days later, an old man with a fairy wind and a childish face, holding a banner with an immortal guiding the way, came here from west to east.

When the old man came to the river, he shouted twice.

"Exorcising ghosts and warding off evil spirits, marriage and wealth, metaphysical techniques, all proficient, if you know the auspiciousness of the future, you still need to ask me Zhang Banxian!"

Jiang Yun was also in a hurry, there was no way, the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor, and this Zhang Banxian was invited to diagnose Tianchen's pulse.

Zhang Banxian happily agreed, but he didn't expect this person to be an old slippery head, after diagnosing the pulse, he was stunned to say a lot of Jianghu terms that the Zhang couple didn't understand, but it seemed to be right, and then sat aside and didn't prescribe medicine.

Jiang Yun was very sensible, and took out the only few taels of silver left and gave it to the old man.As a result, the other party lost his temper, saying that he was a god and didn't want any money, as long as there was a pot of good wine, he was willing to save Tianchen, otherwise there was no need to talk about it.Jiang Yun exchanged the silver for a pot of wine, and the old man smelled it and fell directly to the ground, saying that it was rancid water, and resolutely refused to drink it.

Seeing that Tianchen is getting weaker and weaker, and he can't support it for long, if he dies, then the Tianjia will really cut off the incense.Jiang Yun has always been deeply sorry for Cai's death, she and Cai's are sisters, but she was really afraid of retreating at that time, so for the only remaining Tianchen of the Tianjia, she will try her best to help as much as she can.

In desperation, Jiang Yun was heartbroken, and simply sold himself to a businessman who seemed to be quite kind, and the businessman encountered a bad man in the process of fleeing, and after a vicious battle, he lost his wife and children.

Jiang Yun exchanged a pot of fine wine from him, as well as twenty taels of silver.

The old man drank the wine, so he came to the rescue, and the merchant was afraid that Zhang Bao and his wife would regret it, so he had already left this place overnight.

It's not that Zhang Bao didn't want to save his wife, but his body was crippled, his physical strength dropped greatly, and the businessman hired a group of good hands.

The older generation often says that if there is a lack of a woman, there is a lack of walls, one less man, one less room.

At that time, it was an ancient society, and in terms of social concepts, women were far less than one-tenth of men. If the husband did not like his wives and concubines, a letter of divorce could sweep them out of the house.

At that time, the secular concept was like this, and it was not something that Zhang Bao and Jiang Yun could reverse.
