Because humans wanted to eat him.
No, not just humans, all the monsters that activated the Sagacity wanted to eat him. In those long years of growing up, he had escaped countless pursuits. Even if he had become his disciple and gained the protection of his sect, he would still have to pay a price. Every time his sect opened their pill refining furnace, they would have to take his flesh and blood. He had almost become the living signboard of his sect's recruitment business, placing them in an invincible position in the world of pills.
The feeling of his flesh being gouged out was truly painful.
However, no matter how painful it was, he could only endure it.
His Master had even "kindly" reminded him that he could take the root hair off his body after transforming into the original one.
He sneered in his heart. Who could understand that transforming into a prototype would cause the same kind of pain! Do you really think that people wouldn't cry out in pain if they were to be hacked down by others even if they felt no pain? Who knew that when the wood knife split the bark, the tree trembled for a reason?
The last time he sensed danger, it was as if his master and his disciples were planning to use him as a whole to refine it, and they all viewed him very closely, even going to the valley to train as usual, but he would always make excuses, he would feel that something was wrong, and he would secretly gather all of his spiritual energy into one of the dozens of ginseng seeds, and then tempt an ordinary bird to swallow it, and then fly away from the heavily guarded mountain gate.
Then...
"Ren Ang?" A gentle voice interrupted his thoughts.
Ren Ang suddenly regained consciousness.
In front of him were the black and bright eyes of the young man. His eyes were wide open, reflecting the reflection of the young man's extraordinary beauty. There was even a teardrop on that glossy black long eyelash. It was sparkling and translucent, and was about to fall. It added a few traces of tender affection.
He stared at the unfamiliar young man in front of him, carefully sizing him up.
"My wife." Ren Ang revealed a smile that was as bright as a summer flower, causing the surrounding lake and mountains to instantly lose their luster.
"The young man took a small step back in alarm and patted his chest." It's really you. " Suddenly, she felt as if she had seen a young man somewhere before, and before she could think about it, her vision blurred and the young man shrunk into a fat bun.
Ren Ang frowned slightly and muttered, "This is bad, I've used too much of my spirit energy, it's not enough again." Then he raised his face, looked up at his wife, and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Your wife's strength is too great, your husband almost couldn't control it."
She Miao's eyelids jumped. She lowered her head and gave a soft "En" as a form of apology.
At that time, she had also thought things through. Even if she had jumped out and questioned the two people, they would have tried their best to avoid her and say that they had misheard her. But, if something happened to Grandfather, it had something to do with them!
He clenched his fists tightly.
A small fat hand suddenly touched her face, gently wiping away the remaining moisture.
"My wife, kneel down." Although his words were gentle, they couldn't be refused.
Without thinking too much, She Miao crouched down. Ren Ang took a step forward, straightened her back, and gently put his arm around her shoulders.
His face was pressed against his warm chest. Stunned, her eyes softened as she stretched out her arms to embrace him, burying her face in his embrace.
The two of them snuggled up to each other for a while before He Miao lightly patted Little Fatso's waist and sniffed, saying, "Alright." "We'll go home."
"Ren Ang released his hand and looked at them seriously. Really? "
"Alright."
"If you're not impulsive, why don't you use a machete to kill him?"
"Do you really think I'm a female bandit? And you're going to chop him up with a machete. " At most, she had beaten someone with a carrying pole and a stick. Oh, he threw stones at people when he was a kid, and the last time he did that, he did it with hot water.
"Very well. "Let's go home." Ren Ang happily held her hand.
However, their emotions were still affected. On the road, there were no longer any sounds of laughter. Even when they met the villagers, they forced a smile on their faces and replied in a rather perfunctory manner.
Returning to the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying, the Da Hui and Scabbers immediately pounced on Ren Ang happily and circled around him, not even sparing him a glance from the start.
He wrinkled his nose, cursed the ingrate, and went into the inner room with his bag.
Ren Ang played with the two young beasts, and after being licked a few times, he released them and went to look for dogs and donkeys.
"Miao, where are Big Yellow and the Hui Hua?" he asked through the window.
"He went up the mountain to graze." He Miao casually replied.
Ren Ang almost choked on his saliva. Even dogs eat grass?
Then he heard another sentence from inside: "The Hui Hua will eat the grass while the rhubarb will feed the donkey. Save the money. " Spring came. The hare, bamboo mouse, and pheasant that had been cat for a winter were all out of their nests. Big Yellow did not need to worry about not having any food to eat. Actually, the main reason was because he was worried that Big Yellow would take advantage of her absence to fight with the Da Hui. Thinking about the time when Big Yellow went back home and saw the Da Hui and Scabbers, he shouted so ferociously! Fortunately, the two young beasts listened well and ignored Big Yellow. It was he who had made Huang Xiaolong accept his two new companions with great difficulty.
Now, Big Yellow also knew to take care of this junior. He even knew to catch some game to feed the Da Hui.
Ren Ang:...
Alright, a domesticated pet is too sensible, and being the owner of the pet is very frustrating. Ren Ang even suspected that if it wasn't for the fact that he was worried that the two young beasts would scare the villagers or that he was their prey, the seedlings would be able to chase them out to hunt.
Putting the matter of the pet aside for now, the two of them discussed their plans for the future.
Looking at the date, asking for a date of marriage, arranging a new house, and creating a dowry, these could be left out for the time being. All they could do was look at the current situation. If Ren Ang wanted to frequently "visit" his fiancee, he would have to walk in front of her. However, his residence on the surface was a problem.
According to the customs, a betrothed was not supposed to meet during a marriage, so it was better not to think about living together. Ren Ang came over to chat for a while during the day, but he definitely couldn't stay at all. The two of them did not think much as they hastily cleaned and stayed in the house before the new year. Fortunately, he only lived until the third day of the first month before he left, otherwise the villagers would have thought that the saliva would have drowned the seedlings.
Now that Ren Ang had not only grown taller and more muscular, his age was even "older" by a year. In the eyes of humans, a boy who was ten years old could now be considered a young adult.
Ten years old was the result of his discussion with his wife.
"Now I have to find a place for you to stay, and let everyone know about it." "We can't live in the village, we'll be watched when we go in and out. Troublesome." His husband would definitely be buried in the fields in the yard at night. If he were to stay at the villager's house, what would happen if he woke up at night and found that Little Fatso had disappeared?
"Why don't we rent a small house in the town? It would be best if we kept our own." But it would cost him a lot of money! The grass was aching.
Ren Ang's eyes flashed slightly as he said: "I'll randomly find a house that's not in the courtyard. Tell everyone that I rented it, and there's no need to pay the rent. In any case, I'm not really taking over his house, it's just taking up a name."
The young man raised an eyebrow. This method was actually quite good.
