In the water inkstone city, there are many attics, and the noisy sounds on the streets come and go, which is very lively.

On that street, a young man with messy hair and ragged clothes was unable to walk, and his eyes were fixed on the people who were munching on the noodles in the bowls of noodles in the street noodle restaurant, and his expression was full of longing.

The boy's name is Lian Tuo, a native of a village thirty miles away from Shuiyan City, and his parents disappeared when he was young.

Growing up, he was adopted by an elderly teacher in the village.

Mr. Jiaoshu never married in his life, and after adopting Lian Tuo, he treated him as his own son, and Lian Tuo naturally regarded him as his father.

Among the living beings, mortals have only a short life of a hundred years, and after the sixtieth armor, death has turned into a sharp blade hanging above their heads, and they will quietly fall at any time.

More than ten days ago, the teacher who adopted him was plagued by illness for many years, and his old body could not withstand the erosion of time and illness, and quietly left the world.

The next day, the grief-stricken Lian Tuo spent all the little savings he had earned from teaching before his death to invite a few strong men in the village, hoping that they would bury his body in a beautiful way.

Unexpectedly, the villagers were not only greedy for money, but also inhumane, and after several strong men accepted the money, they did not help him bury his dead adoptive father

even regarded him as a freak in the village, and ruthlessly drove him out of the village, not allowing him to get any closer than half a step.

In desperation, Lian Tuo had to sneak into the village in the middle of the night to remove his adoptive father's body, and simply buried the body for him a few miles away from the village.

Then, with nowhere to go, he had to come to this water inkstone city not far away.

In addition to adopting his adoptive father, Lian Tuo was almost unaccompanied when he came to this city, he planned to beg for survival, but because the beggars in the city occupied the land, he first came here, thought

The idea of begging for a living was difficult to realize, and he was almost beaten to death by those beggars.

In the past ten days, he has traveled almost all the places in the city, and he has not starved to death in this Shuiyan City by seeing that he is too pitiful and occasionally giving him a few steamed buns to satisfy his hunger.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Just as he was staring at the noodle shop, a rough roar suddenly came out from the back of the street, echoing from far to near, on the straight street.

Those who had been walking, men, women, and children, all hurried to the side of the street when they heard this, and soon revealed several sturdy men on horseback at the back of the street, and a richly dressed young man surrounded in the center of them.

In an instant, the originally bustling street became much quieter.

In the middle of the street, Lian Tuo had long wanted to lean aside when he heard the voice, but his body that had been hungry for a long time was obviously no longer able to support it, and after only taking a small step, he suddenly felt that the world in front of him quickly became blurred, and then the whole person slowly fell to the ground weakly.

"Phew!"

This scene made the man who opened the road change his expression, and he shouted and wanted to change direction, but because the horse under him was too fast, the whole person was directly thrown out of the horse uncontrollably and turned on the ground. It took several laps before stopping.

"Stinky beggar, you don't want to live anymore!"

The man was quite strong, and he was only slightly injured in such a fall, and after standing up from the ground, he saw him walking towards Lian Tuo, who was already unconscious, with anger, and the horsewhip in his hand was thrown out by him.

Lian Tuo has been suffering from hunger in recent days, and his skinny body was thrown on his body by the man's whip, and the severe pain suddenly woke him up from his coma, and he opened his heavy eyelids like mountains and looked at the man weakly.

The man seemed to be even more angry when he saw that Lian Tuo was silent, and the horsewhip in his hand was raised again in an instant, and he was about to fall, but was stopped by a cold voice.

Carlo stopped, and took this kid with him, it was of little use. ”

The rest of the men and young men in the rear were approaching at some point, and the young man looked at this scene and pondered for a moment, and then suddenly jumped off the horse.

In this water inkstone city, there is the Li family, with a lot of wealth, which can be described as an absolute family in the city, and almost half of the business in the city is secretly controlled by it.

And this gorgeously dressed young man is the only son of Li Yuan, the current patriarch of the Li family, Li Ya.

Li Ya relied on the strength of his family, and was arrogant and domineering in the city on weekdays, bullying men and women, and it was rumored that he had an affair with many beautiful women from good families in the city, and he had been relying on the power of the family to do things that lost his conscience, which was quite disgusting.

Although no one has witnessed and confirmed such a thing, it is believed that it will never be groundless and unprovoked, and it is not surprising that most of the people in the city know that he is a fool and would do such a thing.

For him, Lian Tuo naturally heard of it, and in the ten days he wandered in the city, he had even seen this person more than once.

Now that Li Ya said this, he couldn't help but have a sense of foreboding in his heart, but his body, which was extremely weak, made him like a fish out of the water source, and he could only watch quietly.

An inexplicable fear of the unknown was secretly rising in his heart, and a weak sense of helplessness filled his mind for the first time.

"Take him, let's go. ”

Approaching and grabbing Lian Tuo to take a look, a strange excitement suddenly flashed in Li Ya's face, and a cold voice came out, after Na Carlo grabbed Lian Tuo, he immediately turned around and rode a horse with a few strong men and slowly left towards the city gate.

"It's a pity..."

"This young master of the Li family is miserable and inhumane, this time he went out hunting, I am afraid he wants to take him as a live target to attract all kinds of fierce beasts. ”

When everyone was far away, the people on the side of the street resumed their noise again, and a lot of gossip came out faintly, but it was quickly buried by the noise.

More than ten miles away from Shuiyan City, there is a barren forest and mountain area infested by fierce beasts all year round, and there are few people in the surrounding area for several miles.

In the center of the barren forest, after Lian Tuo was taken away from Shuiyan City by Li Ya and others, several wounds were separated by sharp blades all over his body, and blood flowed out from above, but it was directly thrown on the ground.

Dozens of feet away from him, Li Xiao and the others hid in the weeds, holding bows and arrows and staring at him from afar.

While everyone was watching and waiting, one of the strong men hesitated for a long time and suddenly whispered:

"Young master, if this matter is known to the patriarch, I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish speaking, the expression on Li Xiao's face instantly turned cold, and he slapped his palm at the man who spoke, and said in an extremely arrogant tone:

"Shut up, this kid is just a splash life, let him be a bait, it is worth him, besides, it is difficult to come out to hunt a beast once, with such a bait, maybe he can return with a full load. ”

The man was slapped by Li Ya's palm, and there was a hot pain in his face, and his head was so low that he didn't dare to speak again, as for the other men, they were expressionless, as if they had long been accustomed to it.

For Li Ya, Lian Tuo, a powerless teenager like an ant, whether he lives or dies will not arouse his pity at all, the only thing he cares about is whether he can attract fierce beasts for him to hunt after turning Lian Tuo into bait.

There were a lot of beasts in the barren forest, and the blood-drenched Lian Tuo was just lying like this for a while, and there were seven or eight carnivorous beasts within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area, smelling the breath and running far away.

However, these fierce beasts are also cautious, although the non-threatening Lian Tuo is full of temptation in their eyes, but after getting closer, they are still only condensed and wandering dozens of meters away, and they have not been pounced for a long time.

It wasn't until half an hour had passed, and there were no less than dozens of fierce beasts gathered and wandering, that a huge tiger that had been hesitating for a long time finally couldn't bear it anymore, and took the lead in a low roar and quickly swept towards Lian Tuo.

With this move, the other fierce beasts immediately stopped hesitating, and a low roar came out one after another, and more than a dozen stronger male lions and evil wolves rushed out together.

"Now, put!"

Li Ya and the others have been secretly watching, and the bows and arrows in their hands have long been straightened, and at this moment, as soon as the dozen or so fierce beasts rushed out, the bows and arrows in everyone's hands suddenly left the string.

The long-accumulating bow and arrow directly whistled in mid-air, making those fierce beasts that rushed towards Lian Tuo even more fierce in their eyes after noticing, not only did they retreat, but the speed was faster!

However, the rest of the fierce beasts that were still hesitating, except for three or two, also suddenly pounced, and the rest of them scattered in all directions like frightened birds, fleeing far away.

Seven bows and arrows were fired, and four of them pierced straight into the body of the raging beast and threw it away with its body, while the other three were skewed into the ground with some deviations.

Li Ya and the others came prepared, and they were naturally extremely well prepared for this hunt, and as soon as the seven bows and arrows were shot, another wave broke away from their hands in a blink of an eye.

In just a few moments, before those fierce beasts approached Lian Tuo, no less than three bows and arrows were shot out in everyone's hands, turning into a small rain of arrows falling one by one.

When the wail came out, I saw that more than a dozen fierce beasts rushed out, except for the huge tiger that did not stop, the rest died on the spot under the rain of arrows.

After dodging the rain of arrows, the surviving tiger directly bit Lian Tuo's thigh and retreated to the rear without the slightest hesitation.

"This tiger is the biggest gain this time, and it must not be allowed to run away!"

Throwing away the bow and arrow in his hand, Li Xiao walked out of the grass with an excited expression, shouted and hurriedly chased after the tiger.

The area covered by this barren forest is huge, and although the speed of the tiger is fast, it has disappeared in a blink of an eye, but the blood that keeps dripping from Lian Tuo's body still points out the direction for Li Ya and the others.

A few miles behind the barren forest, there is a cliff of the mountain.

"Run, Ben don't see where you brute can go!"

Half an hour later, the seven people stopped not far from the cliff, and Li Ya raised his eyebrows and glared angrily, holding a bow and arrow and pointing directly at the tiger that had no way to go ahead

"Roar. ”

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, the tiger beside the cliff had to put down the body in his mouth, and rushed towards everyone with a low roar.

But before it could get closer, the huge beast's body had been pierced by several bows and arrows, and blood was surging, and it fell to the ground dying.

"Young Master, that kid..."

Carlo walked up to the tiger and poked it a few times, and after making sure that there was no strength left to resist, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Lian Tuo, who was covered in blood in the distance.

Li Ya on the side was very excited at this time, staring at the tiger but not bothering to pay attention to Lian Tuo not far away, shaking his hand and suddenly said:

"Carlo, Yan Yin, you two throw him off the cliff, let's go. ”

Hearing this, Carlo and a man in the crowd looked at each other, but they didn't say anything, just came straight to Lian Tuo's side, and dragged Lian Tuo to the edge of the cliff and pushed it down, then turned around and the others carried the tiger, and slowly left the cliff in the direction where they came.
