The rays of the setting sun had retreated at this time, and the entire sky took on a gray-blue hue. The mountain road was very quiet and empty. It was rare for Zhou Baopu to be still on the mountain so late at night, looking at such a graceful mountain scenery and listening to The mountain breeze whizzed past my ears on both sides, and my whole body felt relaxed and refreshed.
The smoke rises in curls, some twists and turns with the mountain wind, and some is like a naughty child, curling in the air, but when it is blown by the wind, it scatters again, like clear water, slowly A group of ink stains slowly dispersed in front of Zhou Baopu's eyes, dispersing into the peaceful and tranquil scenery of Zhouzhuang.
When he came to the stone bridge, Zhou Baopu couldn't help but feel a little sad, thinking that it was here last night that he used the grass-digging sickle in his backpack to cut off Zhou Side's right hand.
Walking slowly on the road, watching a few native dogs pairing up for a leisurely walk, and barking once or twice from time to time, I don't know if it is because of the comfort or something else, but Zhou Baopu's steps seem unusually slow, always uneasy. Dare to walk towards your own courtyard.
He had not forgotten that Wang Caifeng had caught him in the act just after returning home last night. He couldn't help but worry. He didn't know what kind of punishment Wang Caifeng would do to him after hearing that Zhou Side's right hand was broken.
"You kid, you're back, why don't you come in for dinner?"
I don't know when the courtyard door was opened. Zhou Baopu looked at Wang Caifeng who asked him with a smile. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt entangled in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but feel confused. Getting sour.
"Mom, I came back late because I had something to do." "
As for your little thoughts, don't think I don't know. Are you afraid that I will punish you when you get home? You ran away early in the morning. Are you, mother, such an unreasonable person? Don't worry, I won't blame you for that little injury, but I won't do it next time!" How did Wang Caifeng know that
Zhou Baopu was not only afraid of being punished for what happened yesterday? Wang Caifeng asked him what happened in the mountains.
Hearing that Wang Caifeng was not punishing him and had not noticed anything strange about him, Zhou Baopu immediately became happy and happily tightened the medicine basket on his shoulders and walked towards the yard.
"Mom, I have good news for you."
At a dilapidated dining table, Zhou Baopu said with a smile while helping Wang Caifeng pick up the food.
"What's the good news?"
"I finally became a blood disciple and can embark on the journey of blood refining. I will definitely work hard. Don't worry, I will never let others look down on us again!" Wang Caifeng held in her
hands With a flick of his chopsticks, the piece of green beans he had just caught with his bamboo chopsticks trembled in the air and fell back onto the plate.
Zhou Baopu talked excitedly, not noticing at all that Wang Caifeng's expression had changed, becoming a bit paler than the original bloodless one.
"Who taught you this?"
Naturally, Wang Caifeng misunderstood and thought that Zhou Baopu was worshiping someone as his teacher, so he was able to become a blood disciple.
We can’t blame Wang Caifeng for thinking too much. The path to blood refining on the Blood Sacrifice Continent is not that easy to embark on. Sensing blood requires talent, but having a good master is undoubtedly crucial, so Becoming a blood disciple is usually done under the guidance of a master.
"Where would anyone teach me? I became a blood disciple by mistake." For some
reason, Zhou Baopu lied to Wang Caifeng for the only time, not wanting Wang Caifeng to know the secret of the Hundred Medicine Formula.
"What, you said that you have become a blood disciple without anyone's guidance?"
Wang Caifeng exclaimed, and her heart was even more unbelievable. Only she knew how shocked and shocked she was. Puzzled.
Zhou Baopu's talent itself is very good, almost unparalleled, but only Wang Caifeng knows that in order to prevent Zhou Baopu from getting involved in blood refining, she has sealed Zhou Baopu's talent. If it hadn't been for that seal, it would have exhausted her Even with most of her temperament, she would not end up like this!
But now, Zhou Baopu kept telling her that he had already entered the path of blood refining with his own efforts and even though his talent was sealed. How could this not surprise Wang Caifeng?
"How do you know that you became a blood disciple?"
"You know it from the color of my eyes. If you don't believe me, just look at it!"
Subconsciously, Wang Caifeng looked at Zhou Baopu's eye color. Zhou Baopu did it deliberately. , that trembling purple spirit was easily noticed by Wang Caifeng.
After devouring the last grain of rice, Zhou Baopu smiled with satisfaction. Looking at his round belly, Zhou Baopu's hunger disappeared.
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
"Mom, that's the sound of the gong for assembly. What happened?" "
Look at you kid, why are you living so confused? Today is a big day, and It's time to compete with Liu Zhuang for the hunting area!"
"Then can I go and have a look?"
"Go, you don't have to ask me, I said I won't let you go, will you agree?" "
Thank you, mother!"
"This kid!"
Zhou Baopu didn't hear Wang Caifeng's reply, because as soon as his voice fell, he had already run outside the yard, and his mind was spinning rapidly at the same time.
Once a year, the two villages at the foot of Xuangui Mountain, Zhouzhuang and Liuzhuang, always let representatives of the new generation come out for a competition, and then divide the hunting areas based on the results of the competition.
For these mountain people at the foot of Xuangui Mountain, hunting is the main source of income, and it can almost be said to be the only way to maintain their livelihood.
Therefore, this annual competition is particularly important.
As a resident of Zhouzhuang, Zhou Baopu certainly hopes that Zhouzhuang can win, but he is very uneasy because Liuzhuang has always been much stronger than them.
"I remember last time, it seemed like we lost miserably. We won three out of five games. We in Zhouzhuang lost three games directly and were almost completely beaten by the people in Liuzhuang." Zhou Baopu was not in a good mood, because once he failed, a village would be destroyed
. Almost all of them are shrouded in the haze of failure.
"Brother Baopu, why are you here?"
Yao Ruoxi saw Zhou Baopu slowly coming to the morning training ground, and couldn't help but walk towards him with a smile.
"Have the people from Liuzhuang arrived already?"
"Already arrived." "
Ruoxi, do you think our village has a high chance of victory this year?" "
When did you care about these things? However, the certainty of victory is, It should still be very big. After all, Zhou Yuan is back. No matter what, he still has some strength."
Zhou Baopu said, obviously not interested in the name Zhou Yuan at all, and his voice seemed to have become colder. .
"I'm sorry, Brother Huopu, I didn't mean to mention him."
"It's okay, I don't care."
"Let's go over and have a look. It should start soon."
Taking Yao Ruoxi's hand directly, Zhou Baopu slowly crawled inside, looking in one direction at the same time, and happened to meet Zhou Yuan's gloomy gaze.
Ever since Yao Ruoxi walked towards Zhou Baopu, Zhou Baopu's eyes had never left the two of them. When he saw the two talking and laughing, Zhou Yuanyuan was already very unhappy. Later he saw Zhou Baopu holding Yao Ruoxi's hand, and even more His face turned into an ugly pig liver color.
"Yuan Yuan."
Zhou Gongming saw Zhou Yuan's expression and warned secretly.
