It's been a year, and it's been almost a year since I came to Withered Leaf Village.

He didn't know where he came from, and he didn't know what his name was.

Ugly turned around and went back to the house. A worn-out bronze mirror was removed from the clutter-filled room.

In the dim light, he saw the unusually familiar face again.

Compared with the rough purple and black skin of the villagers, this face looks unusually pale and delicate, whiter and more tender than a newborn child, a slight beard under a thin lip, and a pair of slightly messy sword eyebrows on the dark eyes, but the shadow at the center of the eyebrows set off by all this is difficult to be ugly and disgusting.

It was a large dark yellow mark that took up a third of the forehead, and it was pitted and uneven, like the scale armor of a wild beast. He habitually raised his hand for a moment, and unlike the roughness that looked on the surface, there was a cold touch of Huarun.

Ugly tried to pick at the edge of the mark, and it seemed to be rooted in the skull.

............

The next day, the dark sun shone brightly.

Ugly suddenly opened his eyes, put on a simple and sturdy beast robe, opened the wooden door and walked out.

It is a hedged yard made of black branches, with two animal pens enclosed by the same hedge and several tall stone houses.

He turned his head to look at the stone houses next to him where there was a faint sound of snoring, took out a pair of flat poles from behind the door, opened the wooden door with two wooden barrels, and walked out.

'Wangwang'

After a small and fragmented footsteps, Lao Huang's hairless dog face was revealed.

Ugly smiled slightly, put the flat burden on his shoulder and walked out.

The village was still dark, and there was silence, and occasionally a few dogs barked and chickens crowed, and he stepped on the stone slabs covered with fallen leaves, feeling the quiet air of the early morning until he walked to the foot of the mountain.

After the time of the meal, the sound of gurgling water came out, and a large pale blue river blocked his way.

Because there is a layer of blue 'fine powder' floating on the surface of this river, it is called the blue water river.

He put the bucket on it and swept it a few times to disperse the powder, and after two buckets of river water, he fell into deep thought again.

A year ago, he floated from the Blue Water River and was found and rescued by Liu Tong, who was playing by the river. Now the river is still there, but he can't find it anymore.

"Lao Huang is gone. ”

The ugly barked, and the old dog, who was rolling in the grass by the river and was wet, picked up his flat shoulder and ran quickly.

If you come here, you will be safe, and Ah Chou suddenly figured out a truth. No matter what happened before, now he has to run forward and be himself. Someday the lost past will be found.

After a few times, the sky was already faintly bright. He also filled the large water tank in the courtyard with a height of one person.

Then chop grass and feed the pigs and chickens in the yard and split the wood.

"Ugly, didn't you say that you let go of these jobs and let your aunt do it, your child gets up so early every day. ”

The wooden door of another stone house creaked softly, and a middle-aged woman with braided hair and thick lips walked out.

"I'm young, energetic, and light sleep. Auntie, you have to take care of Uncle Jin every day, and I'll do all the chores. ”

"Hey, Ah Pu and Ah Niu If only you were so diligent, you wouldn't get up when the sun was bright. ”

She shook her head and walked away.

That's right, Ah Chou lived in Liu Apu's house, and no one in the village was willing to take him in after Liu Tong found out at that time, and in the end, it was the 'former' deputy hunter Liu Jin who left him at home.

Chou was not resentful of the villagers' decision at that time, after all, he did not have the same strong body and gray eyes as them. An outsider with an 'ugly face' who doesn't know who he is, I'm afraid that few people will be willing to accept it, and most of the villagers are not 'wealthy' in their families.

Chou has also worked hard to integrate himself into the Fallen Leaf Village for almost a year, and although he is not outstanding in cultivation, he has shown great talent in cooking, making clothes, and medicinal stones, especially after helping several injured and sick villagers with his last skill. Everyone has already accepted this ugly and skinny but hard-working and active kid, and if he could become a 'healer' in the last test, it might have worked even better.

Thinking of the pillar that never shone three months ago, Ah Chou showed a wry smile.

After neatly splitting the black branches into arm-thick piles in the corner, he walked to the open space outside the courtyard and made a strange movement.

Although the name of this set of 'Underworld Hammering Technique' is very domineering, but in fact it is only a set of exercises used to build a foundation, which is widely spread throughout the Winter Wolf Department and even beyond, and it is impossible to study when it was created, and the twelve movements correspond to various natural scenes between heaven and earth, wind, mountains, sun, trees, and so on.

Ah Ugly's fist is like thunder, with wind on his feet, and he has a fierce momentum when he performs every move. The fists are sounding, and the tricks are gradually getting better.

Suddenly, a blood line appeared on his body, swam to the fist, stood on the ground with one foot, and his waist showed the independent momentum of the golden rooster, and a punch was blasted out.

rumble

A loud sonic boom emerges.

"The punch is bursting, and the force is three hundred. With this set of Underworld Hammering Techniques, you have reached the realm of integration. ”

A loud voice appeared behind him.

"Uncle Bone, why are you here. ”

Ah Chou heard the voice and looked back, only to see the lean willow bone standing behind him watching him practice, I don't know how long it has been here.

"I'm here to bring you meat. Seeing that you are fascinated by practicing the exercises does not bother you. He raised his right hand as he spoke.

Two pieces of flesh, one large and one small, wrapped in bark, were being carried in his hands.

"You have entered the Blood Burning Realm, and the effect of the Underworld Hammering Body Technique is no longer great, so it is better to go to the village chief as soon as possible to get a Blood Burning Technique. ”

"Well, I know Uncle Bone, I'll go after dinner. ”

The two walked into the courtyard as they spoke.

"Sister-in-law Jin, this is the meat distributed by your family for this hunt, one hundred catties of wild wolf meat, and ten catties of 'underworld beast meat. ”

"Beast meat, isn't that in order? Ah Pu and Ah Chou didn't help much this time, so you better take it back. ”

Liukin, who heard the voice, said in astonishment.

"This time, I was lucky to meet a black-maned boar, and it didn't take much effort anyway. Let's give the children a physical supplement. ”

"How can this be done, the meat of the beast is too precious, even if it is a pound of black-maned mountain pork that has just been introduced, it is worth more than a dozen gray coins. ”

"Hmph, why don't you want the benefits of Bailai, go stew it for Lao Tzu. Back then, it didn't get into my eyes. ”

"Akingo ......"

I don't know when a long, rectangular resolute face appeared inside the wooden door of the stone house, his head was stacked with thick weed-like hair, the thick beard on his face was bulging, and a huge nose was particularly prominently revealed.

Beneath the stubby neck was a body as broad as a wooden door, and the swarthy chest covered with body hair under the open beast's coat was directly exposed to the somewhat cold air of the early morning.

There was no more below, and he came to an abrupt halt from his waist, squatting like a stake in a dark wooden wheelchair.

"Don't call me Brother Ajin, I can't afford to be the brother of the deputy head hunter of Ah Gu. Stuff is put down and you're good to go. ”

"Nacheng, I'll come to see Brother Ah Jin again when I have time, so I won't disturb your meal. ”

Willow was silent for a moment and handed the meat over.

Liujin took the meat with a complicated expression and glanced at Liukin: "Brother Bone, don't care, he has become moody since he became like this, you better go first." ”

The two brothers, Ah Pu and Ah Niu, also stood quietly next to them and did not dare to breathe, and the atmosphere became very silent for a while.

On a rough and sturdy black wooden table, Liukin was munching on a pot of gray-white slices of meat, occasionally picking up a wooden bowl and taking a sip of cloudy soju.

At the bottom of the table, the two brothers, Liu Jin, Ah Chou and Ah Pu, drank barley porridge and ate long strips of yams. As for meat, there is only one meal at noon every day.

Xiao Ah looked at Liujin with a blank eye, finished eating a pot of wild boar, and poured the bones to Lao Huang, who had been waiting under the table for a long time. But they didn't dare to make any sound.

He drank the last bit of soju from the bottom of the bowl and placed it heavily on the table.

"Ugly, I'll get me a pot of barley wine later. ”

"Ah Jin, the family is not rich anymore, so you should drink less. ”

"Do you look down on me too? don't you all look down on me as a crippled waste, and now you can't afford to drink even a little of the worst turbid wine?"

As the wooden bowl shattered, the lion-like roar roared.

Wow!

Xiao Ah Niu was so frightened by this change that he cried, and Lao Huang under the table also whimpered and ran out with his tail between his legs, not even daring to gnaw on the bones.
