After everyone knelt for a while, they spontaneously cleaned up. They found the bodies of the men in black one by one and put them together.

As for the corpse of the old man, they had already moved to the ancestral hall and enshrined it.

Ye Chen drifted along the water for a long time before he fainted. When he woke up again, he found himself in a ruined temple.

"Am I dead? What is this place?"

Ye Chen shook his head and wanted to get up, but there was a sudden sharp pain all over his body, and in order to relieve the pain, he had to lie down again.

"You're up, you've been in a coma for days, do you know?"

A girl came over when she heard the sound and stood next to Ye Chen, although she was dressed shabby, she showed a charming smile towards Ye Chen.

"Who are you, what is this place?" Ye Chen said as he looked at her.

"This is my house! My grandfather found you fishing in the river, and saw that you were still angry, so he brought you back. The girl replied with a smile.

"What about this...... You tied it to me?" Ye Chen pointed to the strip of cloth wrapped around his body.

"Yes, Grandpa said you were badly injured and had broken a lot of bones, so he used a splint to clamp you. Our family is poor and we don't have the money to get medicine, so I have to go to the mountains to pick some herbs and come back to put them on you!"

The girl buried her head, and her tone changed suddenly, for fear that Ye Chen would complain that she was reluctant to pay for his treatment.

"I can't think of the endless road to heaven, thank you for saving your life, he recovers one day, I will definitely repay you well. ”

Ye Chen's repeated thanks made the girl bury her head shyly, not daring to look into his eyes.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the girl was overjoyed when she heard the sound, and hurried out. She is a girl and has an introverted personality, so she can't help but be a little embarrassed when she sees Ye Chen.

"Grandpa, you're back!" the girl playfully stepped forward to grab his hand.

"Hehe, I was lucky today, I caught several big fish, the biggest one was used to cook soup and drink, and the rest were sold, so I caught some good medicine for that kid. The old man took off his hat and handed the fish to the girl.

"Why, how is your face red?" asked the old man, seeing that the girl was blushing.

He ...... He woke up. ”

"What? so fast, I thought it would be two more days!" the old man hurriedly entered the ruined temple with his cane.

"Grandpa, thank you for saving me. When Ye Chen saw him come in, he hurriedly thanked him.

"Don't tight, don't tight. It's good to wake up. The old man replied with a smile, extremely kind.

"By the way, how did you fall into the river, and you still have such a serious injury?, does your family know?" asked the old man.

Ye Chen sighed deeply when he heard this, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but burst into tears. He glanced at the old man, worried about the gaffe, and then forcibly suppressed the tears and didn't let them flow.

"My family was gone, I was killed by a gang of robbers, and I escaped because I was lucky enough to fall into the river. ”

"It seems that you are also a hard-working child, what kind of world is this now! Why is it so difficult for a good person to live!"

The old man seemed to have a deep understanding, and after listening to Ye Chen's words, he also complained about the injustice of the Heavenly Dao.

"Child, you can recuperate here with peace of mind! Don't worry about the enemy looking for the door, we are poor and white, the robbers have to turn around and leave when they see us, you are safe here. ”

Ye Chen nodded when he heard this, and the old man sighed lightly and went out with his crutches.

More than two hours later, the girl came in with a smile and a bowl of white fish soup. At first, she wanted to feed Ye Chen, but Ye Chen kept shirking, but she had no choice but to put down the fish soup and let Ye Chen drink it with his own hand.

After two days, Ye Chen and them gradually became familiar with each other. The girl was no longer so shy after seeing Ye Chen, and kept calling him big brother, and he also learned that the girl's name was Xiao Ting, and the old man's surname was Liu.

After a careful understanding, Ye Chen knew that this Xiao Ting was not the old man's own grandson, but picked it up by the river like Ye Chen, but she was less than three years old when she picked her up, and the old man pulled her to the age of seventeen or eighteen by himself.

Xiao Ting told Ye Chen that the old man also had a happy family, but in the end he was demolished by the bully. His son and daughter-in-law were also ruthlessly killed by them, leaving him a useless old man to live in torment.

At the same time, the end of the world has fallen into people, and after knowing their situation, Ye Chen also empathized and sighed all the time.

More than two months later, Ye Chen's injuries were almost healed, but he fell into some stubborn diseases, and one foot became lame when he walked because he had not received even treatment.

He began to learn to help Lao Ting fish, and also helped Xiao Ting dry some herbs in his spare time. Gradually, he found a sense of home again.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, once when Xiao Ting was rushing to sell herbs, she was taken by a local Haoqiang and forcibly dragged her home.

Fortunately, the old man often gives some small fish that cannot be sold to the people who rush to the market on weekdays. After they saw this scene, they notified Ye Chen in time.

When Ye Chen learned about it, he rushed to Haoqiang's house with a wooden stick and rescued the girl before she was violated.

Although Ye Chen suffered a great disaster, his foundation was still there, and he also had a little bit of true qi on his body. Haoqiang's family members were his opponents, and they all fell down with a few sticks, and beat Haoqiang hard.

Because of this matter, Haoqiang also remembered him, and secretly paid a lot of money to buy the killer to get rid of him, and by chance, he invited the killer of the Shura Palace.

After Lin Zhentian returned to the Shura Palace, he had been haunted by the fact that he had not obtained the dragon scales, so he ordered someone to draw Ye Chen's appearance according to the memory of the flower demon, and sent people to look for Ye Chen's whereabouts according to the portrait.

When the killer saw Ye Chen, he found that he was exactly the same as the person in the painting, so he didn't rush to make a move, but went back to the Shura Hall to clarify the situation.

Lin Zhentian was extremely happy after learning of Ye Chen's whereabouts, and once again ordered the flower demon to go and arrest Ye Chen.

Ye Chen would never have thought that he would provoke the biggest enemy by teaching a strong man. At this time, he didn't know that he was breaking the temple to help Xiao Ting dry herbs.

Afraid of being targeted by others again like last time, the flower demon did not rush to make a move after knowing Ye Chen's location, but waited until the evening to act.

Just as Ye Chen and the three of them were chatting around the fire, the flower demon suddenly broke in. directly knocked the old man and Xiao Ting unconscious.

Ye Chen was also extremely shocked when he saw that the person who came was the flower demon, and before he could react, he was suddenly grabbed by the throat by the flower demon and lifted up.

Ye Chen instinctively resisted, but due to the disparity in strength, he was never able to break free from the flower demon's pinching hand, but was knocked unconscious by the flower demon's punch.

When he woke up again, he was in the prison of the Shura Temple, bound in chains. Lin Zhentian sat in front of him, staring at him intently.

"Hand over the dragon scales, and spare you from dying. Lin Zhentian asked urgently as soon as he saw him wake up.

"Phew......"

Ye Chen didn't open his mouth when he heard this, but spit directly at him. But Lin Zhentian just sat still and didn't move, and the phlegm that Ye Chen spit out was vaporized before it could get close to him.

"Looking for ...... Death"

The flower demon on the side saw that he was so unreasonable to Lin Zhentian, so he picked up his leather whip and slammed it towards him.

The leather whip 'snapped' on Ye Chen's body, but he never said a word, and it wasn't until the skin opened that he couldn't hold back and fainted again.

The flower demon originally liked to torture and kill, how could he just let Ye Chen go, he waved his hand, and a subordinate brought up a bucket of salt water that had been prepared for a long time.

When he poured salt water on Ye Chen, Ye Chen suddenly screamed and woke up again.

"You bandits, don't try to find out the whereabouts of the dragon scales from my mouth, you have this heart!" Ye Chen shouted vigorously, trying to alleviate the pain on his body.

"Yo, boy, you're pretty stubborn, I'd like to see how long you can last. ”

"You're almost healed, aren't you?"

The flower demon glanced at him, came to his side, grabbed his injured hand, and slowly twisted it.

The huge pain made Ye Chen's whole body tremble, and he knew that he couldn't shout, because then this mad demon would be happy and torture him all the time.

Ye Chen's aching teeth were trembling, but he never said a word, just stared at the flower demon with blood-red eyes.

With a crisp sound, Ye Chen's arm broke off again. He fainted again.

The flower demon was still not in a hurry, and once again ordered someone to bring salt water and splashed it at Ye Chen again.

After Ye Chen woke up, he broke his other hand alive as before. After repeating this several times, Ye Chen's hands and feet were broken, and he couldn't wake up with salt water in pain.

"I didn't expect this kid to be so backbone, and he has a good appetite for me, if it weren't for the secret of his dragon scales, I would have wanted to make him such a friend. ”

The flower demon threw away the wooden barrel in his hand, stepped forward to check Ye Chen's injuries, and after making sure that he would not take Ye Chen's life, he retreated to Lin Zhentian's side.

"What should I do, this kid can't speak, and he can't say anything. Could it be that the dragon scales are not in his hands and are snatched by Shangguan Renjie?"

"Impossible, we have checked the eyeliner we planted in the Righteous Path Alliance, and Shangguan Renjie's apprentice did not bring back the dragon scales. Lin Zhentian waved his hand.

"Then what should I do? I can't pry it out, and I can't pry it out, and I can't find it after killing the dragon scales?"

"The hard ones don't come to the soft ones, throw this kid in the downtown and send someone to keep a close watch on him, I don't believe he won't go to get the dragon scales. All we have to do is keep an eye on it, and when he lets down his guard and goes to fetch the scales, the scales will be in hand. ”

"High, really high, so that after a long time he will feel safe. The flower demon held his thumb and praised.

"Take care of his wounds, don't let him become a complete waste, at least let him crawl and beg for a bite to eat. Lin Zhentian got up and commanded.
