Chapter 4292： Tribulation, mountain village boy

A run-down village at the foot of a mountain.

The villagers work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and these days repeat day by day.

There is a family in the village. There are five children in the family. None of them have established a family. Only the children are the most favored.

The third son in the family is pure and simple in nature, and bears hardships and stands hard work, but he is not liked by his parents.

Every day from morning to night, I work in the mountains, but my parents, brothers and sisters rarely help.

Strictly scolded by his parents, the young man was distressed, but he never complained too much.

In the field full of weeds, a thin, shirtless teenager, his eyes changed from confusion to firmness.

This young man's body has been controlled by Tang Zhen, and the calamity begins at this moment.

Tang Zhen looked around, looked at his body and hands, with a thoughtful look on his face.

The content just now appeared automatically, explaining the identity and background of the teenager.

Although there are not many words, it makes people angry.

Perhaps because of his role as a teenager, Tang Zhen has no power to overturn the river and the sea, but only has an exquisite heart.

Confirming the parents of this young man is by no means a good position, and there must be other reasons for such harshness.

When this kind of thing happened at the beginning, Tang Zhen must figure it out, only those who are not confused can make great strides.

It's just that this catastrophe started in this way, which somewhat surprised Tang Zhen.

You don't need to think too much, everything goes with the flow, just don't ignoring your original intentions.

Putting away the hatchet in his hand, Tang Zhen returned to the village and found the location of his home according to his memory.

He sneaked in from the backyard and sat quietly in the corner, listening to the conversation of a couple in the yard.

This couple are the parents of the teenager, and there is a playful child beside them.

While the two were chatting, the voice kept drifting into their ears.

Woman: "I have entrusted someone yesterday to protect the eldest child. It is Liu Yao's family in the east of the village."

Male: "Well, the girl in the Liu family is not bad, she looks like a good child."

Woman: "But if you get married, the family's money is probably not enough."

Male: "Let the third child do more work, and then go to the deep mountains to pick some good herbs, so that you can get more money."

Woman: "I think so too, it's just that there are many tigers, leopards and wolves in the deep mountains, if the third child dies in it, who will make money in the future?

The second child is not married yet, the fourth child has to go to school, and I, the lovely youngest, all count on him to make money to support him. "

When the woman said this, she looked righteous, as if the third child worked hard to make money as a matter of course.

The indifference in the words made people feel shocked, as if it was not his own child, but a long-term worker who worked hard for his life.

But the man said: "His life is very hard, and he won't die easily. If he really died in the mountains, he can only blame him for being unlucky."

As soon as I said this, the playful children suddenly fell down, and the men and women who were weaving baskets and rubbing grass seeds rushed forward and continued to comfort them with kind words.

Behind the thatched cottage, Tang Zhen's body remained motionless, but a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Listening to the words just now, what kind of parents are there, and what kind of family affection is there.

"What is the truth, we must find out."

Tang Zhen got up immediately, walked around the village, and soon came to the old tree at the entrance of the village.

There is an old man here, leaning on the roots of a tree in a daze, with a posture of running out of oil and dying.

Tang Zhen stepped forward and stood beside the old man.

"Who is it?"

Hearing footsteps, the old man wanted to check, but it was very difficult to turn his head.

Just as he was about to continue his efforts, an old voice sounded, which sounded very familiar.

But if you think about it carefully, you don't know who it is.

Of course, Tang Zhen at this time would not let the old man think too much, but started to chat with him on his own initiative.

The familiar voice, coupled with the familiar rhythm of the conversation, made the old man no longer struggle with Tang Zhen's identity, but instead cooperated with him.

The topic of chatting soon came to the boy.

"The third boy of Li Erlai's family, that's a hard-working baby."

"Father and mother were taken away by officers and soldiers, and they did not know whether to live or die. In order to save the child's life, they sent the child to Li Erlai's house.

The original property and house were also given to Li Erlai, just hoping that he would be able to raise the child well. "

"In the end, it's not his own, so there is a difference in how he treats it. Li Erlai, a couple, is simply using the three boys as animals."

"I can't eat enough, don't wear warm clothes, I have to work hard to support my family at a young age, and I haven't had a good day."

"Lack of virtue..."

When the old man said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

He said a few more words, but found that no one responded. When he tried to turn his head to look back, there was already no one behind him.

Tang Zhen left the village entrance and walked slowly towards the mountain.

As expected, the boy was not born to the couple. After Li Erlai and his wife got the property and house, they used the boy as a long-term slave laborer.

Tang Zhen, who knew the truth, was indifferent, because he had seen too many similar things.

Where there is light, there must be darkness, and the human heart is the most filthy. Influenced by emotions and desires, there will always be people who do some unethical things.

Although he is human, he is also human.

He could vaguely feel that there was a trace of emotion in the boy's body, as if a volcano was about to erupt.

But until now, Tang Zhen has not received any prompts and doesn't know what to do next.

Tang Zhen decided to wait quietly and never return to Li Erlai's house, which could be regarded as a means of breaking the game.

Just wait and see what happens.

After making a decision, Tang Zhen entered the deep mountains and searched for a spacious cave.

Pick up a pile of dry wood, knock on the stones to light it, and get a pile of herbs and throw it on the fire to cause thick smoke.

The poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the cave were killed or fled one after another, and soon the cave became clean.

Tang Zhen chopped up a pile of bamboo, built a simple bed, and kept it off the ground to prevent poisonous insects from harassing him.

After the hay is spread, you can lie on it and rest.

Immediately afterwards, bamboo was used to make simple bows, arrows and bamboo spears, as well as throwing equipment for throwing bamboo spears.

In terms of survival in the wild, Tang Zhen is a real super master. At a glance, he can judge the properties and uses of various plants, trees, bamboos and rocks.

It didn't take long, and the weapon has been made. Although the materials are simple, the craftsmanship is the pinnacle.

Holding a simple weapon, Tang Zhen drilled into the forest and returned shortly after.

On his shoulders, he carried a beast that had been gutted, and its body was obviously pierced by a bamboo spear.

After returning to the cave, the beast was put up and smoked and roasted, and soon there was a strong aroma of meat wafting away.

Tang Zhen was full of food and drink, so he sat quietly in the cave, using secret techniques to absorb the energy of heaven and earth.

He had already discovered before that the young man's aptitude was excellent, and he was definitely a good seed for cultivation.

If you teach well, you will surely achieve success in the future.

Tang Zhen didn't know what the future of the young man would be. He only knew that the current controller was himself.

Since he understands the way of cultivation, and the young man is a good seedling, he naturally has to practice hard.

The methods of the powerful gods are naturally extraordinary, but within a few days, the young man has easily established his foundation and entered the Dao.

Filling the body with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, combined with various herbs, the Book of Changes, and cutting the marrow, the originally weak mountain village youth has actually been reborn.

Not only has his body become stronger, but he has also grown a lot taller, and there is a flash of light in his eyes.

Compared with a few days ago, they are completely different, standing in front of acquaintances, I am afraid it is difficult to recognize.

Early this morning, Tang Zhen walked back from the mountain stream, carrying a basket of plump fish and shrimp in his hand.

In the past few days, Tang Zhen has a great appetite, like a gluttonous beast.

The beasts nearby had suffered bad luck and were almost caught by Tang Zhen, and a lot of animal bones had been discarded near the entrance of the cave.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the cave, Tang Zhen frowned slightly and clenched the bamboo spear in his hand.

I saw more than a dozen strong men, wearing broken armor and holding a long knife with a gap in their hands.

Guarded near the entrance of the cave, constantly rummaging inside.

Tang Zhen's gaze turned to some cloth bags on the ground, which contained all kinds of food.

Dry biscuits, grass seeds, coarse grains, jerky...

On the top of several cloth bags, there was still blood that had not dried completely, and was thrown on the ground at will.

One of the cloth bags looked very familiar, and the teenager had carried it more than once.

A trace of bad premonition emerged in Tang Zhen's heart, and the boy's anger erupted instantly.

Tang Zhen raised his hand and threw a sharp bamboo spear, directly piercing the throat of a strong man.

The mountain wind blew, and the blood gleamed.
