Chapter 9: An Unbearable Past
In a dilapidated log cabin.
"Brother Ye Chen, can you help us go to the street to find Uncle Niu to order steamed buns? We have run out of food recently!"
Yang Ke said very casually, for Ye Chen, he was not half wary!
With half a month of contact, Ye Chen has learned that the older boy is called Yang Ke, and the remaining two girls and a man are called Jingjing, Yaoyao, and Yang Yuan, all of whom are the descendants of the Yang family of the wealthy Yang family who were destroyed in Bashu Town, dozens of miles away.
Whenever Ye Chen asked why he was destroyed, Yang Ke was always reluctant to say!
Just as Ye Chen was about to go out, a small figure ran over with a twist, and said in a milky voice: "Brother Ye Chen, you can still bring Yaoyao last ...... Pheasant?"
This is the youngest girl among the children, the little face has not yet grown, revealing some soft flesh, extremely smart, the eyes reveal a smart energy, the whole person is like a delicate porcelain doll, so that people can't wait to hold it in the palm of their hands to love, for fear of being hurt a little!
Looking at Yaoyao, Ye Chen instantly smiled, last time, Ye Chen saw that this group of children was malnourished and too pitiful, so he went to the woods to catch a pheasant master, which made this group of children happy for several days!
Ye Chen hugged Xiao Yaoyao and said with a smile: "Okay, Yaoyao wants to eat, my brother will call you two back today, okay?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yaoyao suddenly smiled, and she couldn't even close her mouth!
Walking on the streets of the village, there are many people, although there is not the complexity of the big city, but there is a kind of simplicity and sincerity that makes people feel peaceful in the depths of their hearts......
"Little brother, let's go find Lao Niu again!
"Xiao Ye, aren't you tired of taking care of those kids?"
After a few weeks of coming and going, Ye Chen has completely integrated into this small village, and Ye Chen also nodded and smiled to greet these simple people.
Rao is Ye Chen also had to sigh and sigh at the customs of this village, he was so enthusiastic and simple that he had nothing to say, which made the depression in Ye Chen's heart, who had experienced the indifference of the immortal cultivation world, disappear a lot.
"Bang!Bang!"
The village is not big, and it takes a few turns to reach Uncle Niu's house.
Before Ye Chen knocked on the door, Uncle Niu's majestic and simple rural man's voice mixed with the sonorous and crisp collision of metal came out: "It's Ye Chen, right?
Ye Chen shook his head and smiled, letting go of his doubts in his heart, this Uncle Niu is really an unpredictable prophet!
After entering, Ye Chen saw Uncle Niu knocking on a stove, it seemed to be a piece of metal, eroded by the flames but there was no redness, it was really strange, which made Uncle Niu depressed!
I have to say that Uncle Niu really looks very powerful, a hammer in his right hand is as big as a human head, the hair on the top of his head is erect, the muscles all over his body are like a small mountain, and his beard looks very fierce, but it exudes a sinister aura as if he were nothing!
According to other people in the village, Uncle Niu was originally a warrior, but he had to live in seclusion in this small village because he seemed to be hunted down by the enemy.
"Ye Chen, I knew you should be here today! I've already finished the steamed buns, and I'll buy you some food by the way! Go back and copy them to those little guys!" Uncle Niu said without looking back, staring intently at the metal on the stove, frowning!
Ye Chen was not surprised by this, because he already knew from Uncle Niu that Uncle Niu used to be a forging master in the secular world, and it was only natural for him to concentrate on it!
Ye Chen was also taken aback when he heard the news, fellow practitioners in martial arts and forging, talent and perseverance are indispensable!
Since living in seclusion in the village, Uncle Niu has taken advantage of his free time to go to a mine about fifty miles away from here to mine, until now.
Ye Chen, who is close to natural life, can see that Uncle Niu seems to be in poor health, and he should be looking for an opportunity to recover!
"Uncle Niu, what good things have you dug up again?" Ye Chen stepped forward and asked.
Uncle Niu frowned and said, "I don't know, I don't understand, it's been on the stove for almost two days, and there is no reaction at all!"
"No matter what, it's useless to hammer the hammer, let me try the axe!"
Between the words, Uncle Niu picked up a heavy axe beside him, smacked lightly, and slashed down with his hand on the metal.
"Vampire red gold?" Ye Chen's expression was calm, but a flash of shock flashed in his eyes, and he whispered to himself.
I didn't think about it, but Uncle Niu heard it in his ears, stumbled under his feet, and the heavy axe slashed towards his hand, Uncle Rao is Niu reacted well, quickly pulled his hand away, and drew a bright red mark in the air, and the soft flesh on his fingertips was cut off a little!
Beanbead-like blood dripped on the strange metal, and the strange metal flashed red, the blood droplets disappeared, and the metallic luster was even worse!
Ye Chen stepped forward, his delicate face was full of shock, and he said softly: "It's really bloodsucking red gold!"
"What bloodsucking red gold, Ye Chen, what are you talking about?"
Uncle Niu looked confused, in the secular world, he naturally didn't know about these strange metals!
Ye Chen's eyes were blazing, staring directly at the bloodsucking red gold, and asked in a low voice: "This is a strange ore of the Immortal Family, it is very rare! Uncle Niu, could it be that this stone was dug out in your mine?"
Hearing that it was something from the immortal family, Uncle Niu couldn't sit still, his mind was spinning quickly, and after thinking for a while, his rough face suddenly became excited, and he looked at Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, you won't be an immortal master!"
Ye Chen bowed his head and was silent, which could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
Hearing this, I didn't want Uncle Niu to fall to the ground with a "bang", with tears in his eyes, his eyes kept rolling in his sockets, as if he contained monstrous hatred, and said excitedly: "Brother Ye, please help me!"
Seeing this, Ye Chen hurriedly picked up Uncle Niu, although Ye Chen had not been in contact with Uncle Niu for a long time, but Uncle Niu's extremely simple and sincere nature made Ye Chen very admired!
It wasn't until Ye Chen helped Uncle Niu to the bed that Uncle Niu's expression gradually stabilized.
"Uncle Niu, if you have anything, I will definitely try my best to help you!"
Ye Chen looked at the decadent Uncle Niu at this time, and his heart was very uneasy, what happened to make Uncle Niu such a simple and true man become like this?
Uncle Niu's eyes gradually became bloodshot, his brows frowned, as if he couldn't bear to recall the scene of the year, his eyes gradually fell into confusion, and he said slowly.
"Twenty years ago, I was a military general in a palace in Shudu, and the prince treated me well, taught me to practice martial arts, passed on my martial arts, and I brought my wife into the prince's mansion. That night, I went out temporarily, and several other princes united to usurp the throne and kill my family in the Heavenly Palace!"
"There is blood everywhere! My wife is still calling my name at the last moment! I'm not human!" Uncle Niu has red eyes, his eyes are bloodshot, and tears are gradually dripping, like blood and tears, containing monstrous hatred, shocking!
Ye Chen was silent and listened quietly.
Uncle Niu choked up and continued: "After that, I ran out alone, they chased and killed all night, and one of them was an immortal master, who abolished my whole body martial arts and knocked me off the cliff!"
"Since then, I have lived here, and I have gone to the doctor and said that it cannot be cured if I am not an immortal master! During this period, I have climbed the immortal mountain more than once, but I have never been able to go up. Finally, I heard that there was a mine guarded by an immortal master five hundred miles away, and I went there to work again, and in the past few years, I have stolen a lot of strange stones from coming and going!"
Speaking of this, Uncle Niu's mood suddenly became excited, as if he had grasped some life-saving straw, pointed to the blood-sucking red gold, burst into tears, and said: "Brother Ye, if you don't dislike it, take away all these stones, I just beg you, heal me! I am unwilling, I hate, I want to take revenge!"
Ye Chen sighed heavily, he had been beside the master since he was a child, and he had been looking at the Hundred Scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Shushan, but I am afraid that this kind of injury can only be connected to the broken tendons and veins by the kind of "big medicine" that contains vitality, and the internal force can only be rebuilt!
