Chapter 941 Tian Gege (Big Brother Tian)

"Little brother, let your sister cook. You sit down and rest for a while and wait to eat."

Da Niu rolled up her sleeves, looking very skilled.

Zheng Lin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it and just sat down to the side.

He had clearly said he wanted fried rice with egg;

You’ve already conjured up a big iron pot,

And you’ve tied out the old hen,

Why can’t you just “grow” fried rice with egg directly?

But looking at his sister, who was only six years old by the Chinese reckoning, Zheng Lin really didn’t want to shatter her beautiful fantasy;

Da Niu started to wash the rice,

Da Niu used Long Yuan to start the fire again,

Da Niu started to pour water,

Da Niu started to cook the rice,

Da Niu cooked a pot of… porridge.

“Umm…”

Da Niu glanced guiltily at her younger brother sitting behind her;

Zheng Lin tried his best not to let his gaze drift toward the pot at this moment;

If his father were here, he would probably be very particular and say: For this fried rice with egg, you have to use cold, leftover rice.

But the problem is,

Zheng Lin felt that if he were to act like his father and comment here, it would be too cruel.

Even if the rice his sister cooked… no, the porridge his sister cooked had so much water that chopsticks couldn't even stand up in it. According to the laws of Great Yan, even the government providing porridge to refugees wouldn't make it so watery.

Da Niu started to add seasonings to the pot, crack in the eggs, and then… stir it all together.

"Glug, glug..."

The aroma was quickly spreading.

Then, Da Niu looked at the old hen tied there, considering whether to kill it and simply cook a pot of chicken porridge since she had added too much water?

But in the end, Da Niu abandoned this idea because she was already hungry.

"Little brother, come and eat. Your sister guessed that you must be unaccustomed to the food after traveling such a long distance, so drink porridge. It's good for your stomach."

"Yes, Sister."

Zheng Lin took the bowl of porridge and began to eat.

It definitely didn't smell as good as fried rice with egg, but you couldn't say it was too bad either. After all, it was cooked, carrying a simple feeling of food. Regardless of anything else, it was at least much more delicious than the roasted fish from last night that hadn't even had its internal organs cleaned.

But as he ate,

Zheng Lin's gaze began to probe the surrounding darkness from time to time;

If nothing unexpected happened, his father should be sitting somewhere, watching him and his sister eat food that could only be called "cooked," and then he would slowly and leisurely eat the exquisite food placed in front of him.

This was the kind of thing his father would do. He always liked to build his happiness on the pain of others, and the more he savored it, the sweeter he found it.

Even if,

The objects were his own children.

The two children were full again, and Da Niu asked:

"Little brother, let's go back. Your sister knows you must miss the big bed at home, the three meals a day, the hot spring, and Mother's greenhouse."

"Okay."

Zheng Lin didn't remind his sister that in the entire royal mansion, only her and her mother's courtyard had a greenhouse.

"Then how do we go?" Da Niu asked.

Zheng Lin replied, "Continue south along this river, find Uncle Gou's people, and then have Uncle Gou send us back by boat."

"Ah, we still have to go to Uncle Gou's place."

Da Niu was a little unwilling. After all, running away from home was something that sounded very impressive, but in the end, she had to have her family send them back. It was a little embarrassing.

"Little brother, we can find a cargo ship to go back like we did when we came."

"But if Uncle Gou sends someone to take us back, we can have a big bed and good food and drinks along the way, and we don't have to hide in the cargo hold anymore."

Da Niu shook her head and said, "Those things don't matter."

Soon,

Da Niu added:

"The main thing is that I miss Uncle Gou too."

The two children started on their way,

Da Niu carried Long Yuan on her back and held an old hen in her hand;

Zheng Lin carried a large iron pot on his back;

It was really difficult to walk on the mountain road after leaving the waterway. It was very rugged. As they walked until dusk, they found a small cave.

"Let's spend the night here tonight."

Da Niu sat down by the entrance of the cave, hugging the old hen, and said:

"Mo Mo, you must be tired too. It's really hard on you, poor thing."

Zheng Lin put down the iron pot, rubbed his wrist, and said:

"Sister, sit here for a while. I'll go find some ingredients."

"There's no need. Let's just cook it."

Da Niu held up the old hen,

"It was very tired from walking today, and when I think about how it has to walk with us tomorrow, I feel so sorry for it."

Not long after,

Accompanied by the sound of the soup boiling,

The rich aroma of chicken soup was spreading around.

But perhaps the taste was too wonderful,

As she ate,

The Long Yuan sword next to Da Niu, which still had chicken blood on it, suddenly trembled.

A famous sword has a spirit and can foretell good or bad fortune.

Zheng Lin, who had been squatting down to eat, slowly stood up.

When Da Niu saw her little brother stand up, she continued to sit and drink her soup.

In the bushes not far away, three pairs of green eyes were slightly floating.

Then,

Three golden leopards slowly walked out.

The Meng Mountains have many mountain ranges. Although they are not as majestic and vast as the Heavenly Barrens, they can still form a region of their own.

Only in recent years, with the development of Fancheng, has the connection between this place and Jin been closer. In the past, there were hardly any people here except for smuggling horse gangs and some mountain bandits.

"Oh, three big kitties."

Da Niu looked at the three leopards with a smile on her face.

As a child who grew up in the royal mansion, she was really not afraid of any wild leopards.

You know, her mother always had a green python by her side. When she was a child, especially in the summer, she liked to lie on the green python to take a nap. It was very cool;

In addition, there were other demon beasts in the royal mansion that were very human-like;

Not to mention her father's mount, a genuine Pixiu, which had always been raised in the back house. Her father often took her to ride it.

Zheng Lin gently twisted his neck,

But he couldn't make the series of cracking sounds that his father made when he did this movement;

Gradually,

As the three golden leopards approached, a slight black halo began to appear in Zheng Lin's eyes.

"Sister, we have dinner for tomorrow too."

A five-year-old boy pointed at the three adult leopards and said to a six-year-old girl.

Da Niu responded:

"Okay, okay, three of them. We'll each ride one tomorrow and eat one. That's just right."

The three golden leopards were attracted by the scent of the chicken meat. When they came over, they found two children. They weren't demon beasts, but as wild animals, they still had the instinct to hunt;

Obviously, they were also very satisfied with their prey this time.

"Roar!"

The golden leopard in the middle let out a roar. Instantly, the two leopards beside it pounced directly at Zheng Lin, who was standing in the front.

Zheng Lin took the first step, actively leaning towards a leopard that was pouncing at him, punching it in the jaw, and then kicking it. Only a dull sound was heard, and the leopard was directly kicked away by Zheng Lin.

The other leopard didn't have time to react to what happened to its companion. Instead, it continued to follow its hunting instinct, pouncing on Zheng Lin from behind, forcibly holding down Zheng Lin's shoulders with its claws. Then, it opened its mouth and bit directly at Zheng Lin's head.

The red mole between Zheng Lin's eyebrows began to tremble. For a moment, its luster dimmed a lot. At the same time, the black halo in Zheng Lin's eyes suddenly became thicker.

"Roar!"

The boy also let out an angry roar, and his whole body actually stood up directly, flipping over, and the leopard was pressed underneath.

"..." Golden leopard.

Zheng Lin opened his mouth. He didn't grow fangs like Liang Die and Ming Die, only two rows of neat little white teeth;

But he still opened his mouth frantically, biting down on the golden leopard's neck.

These little white teeth were like sharp steel knives. Instantly, golden leopard blood splattered, and the leopard let out a series of screams.

In this instant, it seemed that he was the helpless child, and the one on top of him was the real leopard.

"Splash..."

Zheng Lin raised his neck, tearing a string of flesh out of it with his mouth, spitting it to the side. There were still many leopard hairs left on his mouth;

But Zheng Lin seemed very excited, looking at the leopard that was still struggling, and lowered his head again, continuing to tear and bite.

He had forgotten himself and was already engrossed in it.

Earlier, the first leopard was kicked away by Zheng Lin and was lying on the ground, obviously in a lot of pain. The second leopard was being ruthlessly torn apart;

And the leopard that was originally standing in the middle was a little silly, watching the scene that was happening in front of it. It was already scared.

As Zheng Lin tore and bit like crazy,

A faint purple luster also began to flash on his body.

Beside him,

Da Niu, who was originally sitting there drinking soup, silently put down the bowl in her hand,

And tried to call out:

"Little brother?"

Responding to her,

Was Zheng Lin's roar once again, until the golden leopard underneath him lost all its vitality.

The most delicious moment for prey is when it struggles before it dies;

At that time, it is the craziest, both physically and mentally, and can give you indescribable pleasure.

But once it dies,

It's not interesting anymore.

Zheng Lin slowly stood up, grinning, and looked at the golden leopard that was still standing in front of him.

Fortunately,

There was still one alive here.

This golden leopard finally woke up and immediately turned around and began to flee. Zheng Lin chased after it directly.

The golden leopard has four legs,

The Zheng Lin chasing behind him also has four "legs," because he was also crawling on all fours like the golden leopard.

The reasoning is very simple,

Two legs are definitely not as fast as four legs unless they have been trained in the future.

And Zheng Lin's most powerful thing is his physique created by his Demon King bloodline.

The reason why the blind man suggested that the master seal up the newborn Zheng Lin was for this reason. When he could easily use brute force to accomplish things that ordinary children and even ordinary adults could not do, he would directly skip the childhood stage and even the adult stage;

But personality is shaped in childhood.

Skipping this stage, the child may become a beast.

At present, Zheng Lin has actually shown this state. When the seal is temporarily released, the feeling of omnipotence brought by the power entering his body is enough to suppress his rational thinking, and instinct begins to gradually occupy a dominant advantage.

The golden leopard was running away,

As it was running, it turned its head to look to its side and found a "four-legged" being that was already keeping pace with it.

The golden leopard shivered and wanted to accelerate again, but Zheng Lin on the side jumped directly onto its body and tore at its neck!

"Roar!"

The golden leopard let out a scream, and its body fell to the ground. Under the enormous inertia, it and the boy on its body crashed into the forest in front of them.

"Little brother, little brother."

Da Niu chased after him while shouting.

At this time, the golden leopard that had been kicked away by Zheng Lin suddenly burst out with strength and pounced at Da Niu from the side.

Da Niu turned her head to look at it,

For a moment,

Their hearts were connected,

Long Yuan appeared in time, and covered in chicken blood, it directly pierced the head of the golden leopard in front of her, crisp and smooth.

"Thump!"

The golden leopard fell to the ground, dead as can be.

Da Niu waved her hand, and Long Yuan flew out of the golden leopard's head on its own, floating back to Da Niu's side.

Then,

Da Niu didn't even glance at the body of the golden leopard and continued to chase into the forest to find her brother.

The reason why she was able to continue drinking the soup so calmly was because she felt that relying on her younger brother alone to get rid of the three big kitties was no problem.

Their brother and sister are different from other children. The advantage of a naturally gifted child is mainly reflected in the early stages. They can have a more special physique and more mature thinking.

This does not mean that they are invincible. There are always truly great talents who can exert their strength later on, such as the Sword Saint. Although the Sword Saint is not a spiritual body, Bai Li Jian is not his opponent in the later stages.

However, in the early stages, before the Sword Saint has grown up, he still has to avoid him.

"Little brother, little brother!"

Da Niu shouted anxiously.

She didn't expect that her little brother would also have a seizure while playing with three big kitties.

From childhood to adulthood, she and her brother grew up together, because her maternal aunt didn't like to take care of children very much, so although they seemed to live in separate courtyards, they actually lived together most of the time.

Sometimes, her little brother would suddenly become like this, furious, irritable, and throwing things.

Finally,

Da Niu stopped,

In front of her,

Zheng Lin, covered in leopard blood, came out from there.

His eyes were full of gloom, and the purple aura on his body was still reverberating.

Long Yuan appeared in front of Da Niu, its blade pointing at Zheng Lin. It felt a threat and naturally began to protect its master.

Da Niu reached out and pushed Long Yuan away.

"You go to the side first."

Da Niu never thought that her younger brother would hurt her. In fact, even when her younger brother had a seizure before, he had never attacked her.

Zheng Lin's neck began to tilt slightly, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes. His hands were raised, then lowered, raised, then lowered again.

Mainly, as he grew older, although the seal was repaired every year, sometimes it could no longer completely seal his power like when he was a child;

And once he was not ready to control this power, he would easily be controlled by this power.

To put it bluntly,

The Demon King,

He was not human in the first place!

Da Niu continued to run towards Zheng Lin. She was really not afraid at all.

But just then,

A figure wearing silver armor appeared in front of Da Niu, and reached out to stop Da Niu.

This figure appeared too fast, so fast that Long Yuan could only react instinctively to protect its master and stabbed at him.

But the silver-armored man punched Long Yuan directly, and Long Yuan flew out backward.

If Da Niu were to summon it again at this time, Long Yuan could immediately fly back to fight, but because Da Niu saw clearly who the silver-armored man was, she didn't care about Long Yuan at all, and instead shouted in surprise:

"Tian Gege (Big Brother Tian)!"

The silver-armored man was not old, and his actual age was not even that of a youth, but in this era, it was common for women to become mothers at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and the average lifespan was not high, so the perception of "age" was different from that of later generations.

Tian Tian had been sent to Fancheng last year to work and gain experience under Gou Moli.

Because Fancheng had a relatively large space to display his talents, and Gou Moli was a very meticulous person, his father was relieved to put Tian Tian there with him.

The reason why Da Niu chose to run away from home and go south to Chu was because she missed her maternal uncle... In fact, her maternal uncle was just a cover;

She missed her Tian Gege (Big Brother Tian).

Since she could remember, Tian Gege (Big Brother Tian) would take her to play every day, taking care of this little sister very carefully, and his temper was extremely good.

Tian Tian reached out and touched Da Niu's head:

"Naughty, running out so far."

"Tian Gege (Big Brother Tian), little brother, he..."

Da Niu immediately pointed to Zheng Lin standing in front of her.

In fact, Tian Tian had also witnessed Zheng Lin's seizures several times, but he had a way to treat them.

Tian Tian took the initiative to walk towards Zheng Lin, the silver armor reflecting a soft halo in the moonlight.

Zheng Lin's mouth showed a smile,

From the moment he saw the person in front of him,

He seemed to finally begin to let go of all self-restraint and vent his emotions.

"Buzz!"

Zheng Lin's body left the ground and pounced towards Tian Tian, extremely fast.

Tian Tian raised his fist and punched straight forward!

"Bang!"

Zheng Lin was punched away by Tian Tian and crashed into a tree not far away.

But in the next moment, Zheng Lin flew down from the tree again, grabbing directly at Tian Tian's face.

Tian Tian grabbed Zheng Lin's wrist at an even faster speed, fixing his body in front of him.

The boy who could tear leopards apart actually didn't have much room to display his strength in front of this silver armor.

The main problem lies in... age.

"Little brother, you're much stronger than before, but unfortunately, your brother has eaten many more years of Shaqima (a kind of Chinese sweet snack)."

After Tian Tian finished speaking,

His waist sank,

His arm exerted force,

And slammed Zheng Lin directly to the ground.

"Bang!"

Then,

Tian Tian raised his boot and kicked down directly!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Da Niu on the side blinked her eyes, feeling a little distressed, but she didn't say anything to stop him.

Because since she was very young, when her little brother had a seizure, her father was by his side, and her father would ask Tian Gege (Big Brother Tian) to beat up the little brother who was having a seizure. Her father... would also cheer for Tian Gege (Big Brother Tian) from the side.

In her father's words, it's okay to have a seizure, just beat him up and he'll be fine.

Tian Tian's every punch and kick seemed to carry extremely strong force, but in fact, he had done a force reduction treatment. It would make people dizzy and hurt, but it would not cause any internal injuries. It was a bit of a case of a loud thunder but little rain.

On this point, Tian Tian had already achieved control.

Finally,

Tian Tian stopped.

Zheng Lin turned over with some difficulty,

The purple aura on his body had completely disappeared, the red mole between his eyebrows had returned, and there was no longer a black halo in his eyes,

However,

He was a little bruised and swollen.

Fortunately,

Zheng Lin didn't care about this. On the contrary, he was still smiling;

If Zheng Lin had a sense of kinship with his sister, Zheng Lanxin, which was formed by blood and growing up together since childhood, then for Tian Tian, this elder brother...

It was a deep affection that had been built up from being beaten since childhood, as solid as the clay in the Snow Sea Pass city wall.

Tian Tian squatted down,

Took out a Shaqima (a kind of Chinese sweet snack) from his armor pocket, broke off a small piece, and sent it to Zheng Lin's mouth.

Zheng Lin looked at the Shaqima (a kind of Chinese sweet snack),

Since he could remember, every time he was beaten by this brother, this brother would feed him Shaqima (a kind of Chinese sweet snack). In his brother's eyes, Shaqima (a kind of Chinese sweet snack) was the most delicious thing in the world.

But in fact, Zheng Lin didn't like sweets. In this regard, he inherited his father's taste.

"Brother... It's still this..."

Zheng Lin said helplessly.

"Be good, eat it and it won't hurt anymore."

"Brother... I've grown up..."

Don't treat me like a kid.

Tian Tian smiled,

And said:

"If you don't eat it, it proves that you haven't recovered from your illness."

The implication was that if he didn't eat it, he would have to be beaten again.

"Cough cough..."

Zheng Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, not because of any internal injuries. His physique was different from ordinary people and he was very resistant to beatings. This blood was mostly because of depression.

But,

In the end, Zheng Lin still opened his mouth and let Tian Tian put the Shaqima (a kind of Chinese sweet snack) into his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Tian Tian asked.

Zheng Lin immediately nodded:

"Delicious, delicious."

"Then eat all the rest."

"..." Zheng Lin.

Under the night,

A young man in silver armor held a cute little girl with a sword on her back in his right hand, and carried a pot in his left hand;

On his back,

There was also a poor boy with a bruised and swollen face who was still trying hard to eat Shaqima (a kind of Chinese sweet snack).

The little girl excitedly told her brother about the interesting things along the way since she ran away from home,

The boy on his back asked guiltily from time to time:

"Brother, is this really the last piece?"

"Yes."

"But you said that just now. You're not lying to me this time?"

"I'm not lying to you."

"It's a deal."

"If I lie to you, you can hit me."

"..." Zheng Lin.
