Chapter 003 Sister's Worries
Since Zhang Ling cannot merge the beast soul and cannot practice real martial arts, he can only rely on brute force to fight hard. If he encounters monsters, it is still very dangerous. Not to mention those very powerful and high-level monsters, even those with pig monsters, they can kill Zhang Ling.
For some reasons, Xia Chenhu cannot directly kill Zhang Ling. However, if Zhang Ling dies in the mouth of the monster, it will be another matter. If he is attacked by the monster and died unfortunately, he will not blame others for any reason. Therefore, Deng Renjie's arrangement is more or less a sign of killing people with a knife.
Fortunately, every time Zhang Ling encountered a monster, he successfully escaped. Several times, he stepped into hell with half his foot, and was pulled back by God at the last moment. His will and endurance were super strong. Of course, there were absolutely no missing scars on his body. In fact, in recent years, there have been more and more scars on his body, crisscrossing and dense, which can be described as bruises all over his body.
However, on the other hand, Zhang Ling's body was also tempered to be particularly strong because of this. He could not integrate the beast soul and could not practice the exercises. He focused on tempering his body and simply practiced external skills. He could not integrate the beast soul and could not transform the heaven and earth's vitality into true energy. He could only work hard to improve the strength of his body.
Although he is young, he is definitely a strong man in terms of strength. If others do not use the power of the beast soul, they are no match for him at all. It is like Xia Chenhu, if he does not use the power of the beast soul, he would have been knocked down by Zhang Ling with one punch. He can break trees as thick as a cup with one punch.
Qingqing looked at Zhang Ling's face and said with some concern: "Brother, are you okay? Have you encountered a terrible monster this time? Don't go to those dangerous places. There are also oil pine woods that others missed outside, just look for it carefully. Even if the task of the woodshed cannot be completed for the time being, it doesn't matter. I'm so afraid that you will have an accident. If..."
Zhang Ling nodded and said slowly: "I'm fine, you don't need to worry."
Qingqing said with a smile: "Then let's have a meal. I'll come back early today and have already prepared the meal."
Although she was very tired every day when she came back from the laundry room, her legs hurt so much that she wanted to chop off her toes. However, every day, before Zhang Ling came back, Qingqing would prepare the food and wait for him. Zhang Ling nodded gently, lifted the curtain, and silently entered the inner room.
This dilapidated small house turned out to be a place where garbage was piled up, and it was renovated by Zhang Xingze.
The house where their brother and sister live is also built by Zhang Xingze alone. Although the appearance is simple and without any decoration, it is better than solid enough. Decades have passed, no matter whether it is wind or rain, no matter whether it is lightning or thunder, there are no major mistakes.
Due to his poor qualifications, he has been unable to practice, has no future, has a dull personality, and does not know how to please women, Zhang Xingze has never had a woman willing to marry. Until more than 20 years ago, when he came back from a squat outside, he found a disfigured young woman on the way and rescued her.
The woman introduced herself that her name was Fu Yao, who fled from a very far away place. Her home had been destroyed. She had become a homeless person and she didn't know what to do in the future. The kind-hearted Zhang Xingze took her in. She also supported her with a simple meal. Later, they got together. Later, Zhang Ling and Zhang Qingqing were formed. A simple family was formed.
Although the family's life is very hard and difficult, and they will face the danger of being out of stock at any time. However, in Zhang Ling's memory, his childhood life is still very beautiful. His parents are loving and his brother and sister are harmonious, which is much happier than many wealthy families who have been noisy all day long that he has witnessed with his own eyes.
Unfortunately, five years ago, the fifth escort agency where Zhang Xingze was located was attacked by something. Zhang Xingze was missing on the spot, and Fu Yao was unconscious and became a living dead person. The originally warm home collapsed overnight. The brother and sister must shoulder the burden of life.
Zhang Ling and Zhang Qingqing do chores at the Xia family. Zhang Ling works in the woodshed, while Qingqing works in the laundry room. The brother and sister work for a long time every day, and when they come back, they are already very tired. However, Zhang Qingqing always cleans the house, prepares the meals as much as possible, and waits for her brother to come back.
Zhang Ling, on the other hand, worked hard to cheer up and maintain the integrity of the old house as much as possible. If there is any danger in the old house, he had to find a way to strengthen it. This is even more so during the rainy season. There are often several places that need to be repaired in one night, and unless the rain stops, he will not be free at all.
The best room in the house was naturally left to my mother Fu Yao. The innermost part of the old house was Fu Yao's bedroom. The smell in the bedroom was a bit obscure and a little unpleasant. For the past five years, Fu Yao has been lying on the bed of this bedroom, almost never moving. A large number of medicinal materials intersected with each other, making the bedroom look like a large pharmacy. The walls were smoked by medicinal materials a little yellow. The smell of medicinal materials in the air was so rich that it was suffocating.
On the surface, his mother Fu Yao fell asleep. Her face was undoubtedly like the face of ordinary people. Her pulse was beating like a normal person. When others feed her, she could eat it. After eating the food, she could digest it normally. There was nothing abnormal in other parts of her body. However, she just couldn't speak or opened her eyes. No matter what others said to her, she didn't respond.
In the words of Doctor Sun, he has not encountered such a strange thing in his practice for decades. He can only conclude that Fu Yao suffered a severe injury in his brain and thus lost consciousness. This is difficult to deal with even medicine stone acupuncture. He even speculated that it may be that Fu Yao's three souls and seven spirits were all pulled away.
Of course, this statement is a bit weird. It is only found in myths and legends. However, such a thing has never happened in the Beast Martial Continent. Therefore, Dr. Sun’s speculation is regarded as a fantasy.
No one knows why Fu Yao became like this. Doctor Sun is the most wise doctor in Wulin Town, and he can't even diagnose it, so the other doctors are even more unsure. Some people attribute it to poisoning. However, no one has seen such a strange poison. Fu Yao has no trace of poisoning at all.
Of course, some people also infer that the poison in Fu Yao may have been something that Wulin Town had never seen before. After all, in the huge beast martial arts continent, the Xia family is just a very weak existence. In the vast world outside, I don’t know how many forces there are, and just one finger can destroy the Xia family. Therefore, they infer that Fu Yao must have offended a large force and was punished so viciously.
I remember that when Zhang Xingze brought Fu Yao back, someone from the Xia family said that her origin was unknown and she could not enter the Xia family. If she forced her back, it might bring disaster to the Xia family. Zhang Xingze fought for this for a long time before finally settled the matter. However, usually, Fu Yao rarely appears in the public eye. Most of the Xia family members do not know the existence of the character Fu Yao at all.
After Fu Yao became a living dead, some rumors became more and more unconsciously. Among them, the most common rumors were that Fu Yao was not a human. Some people swear that she must not be a human, but a demon clan from afar. Because only non-humans can have such strange symptoms. For this, Dr. Sun, who is kind-hearted, has some doubts. Fortunately, it is just a doubt, and there is no real evidence.
Speaking of which, in the Beast Martial Continent, in addition to humans, there are non-human creatures such as demon races, monsters, monsters, and monsters. The relationship between humans and non-human creatures is indeed not very good. The relationship between demon races and humans is even worse. If Fu Yao is really a demon race, she will definitely be more difficult. I’m afraid that by then, Zhang Ling will definitely not be able to live in the old house of the Xia family.
Zhang Ling sat silently on the bamboo stool beside his mother's bed, grabbed her left hand, took a light breath, and started massage in an orderly manner.
For the living dead, muscle massage is essential. This was told by Doctor Sun. He said that maybe one day, Fu Yao would wake up. No one can tell. So, every day, Zhang Ling had to massage his mother at least three times. No matter how much work he had, no matter how busy he was, he had to complete it. Over the years, he had become accustomed to becoming natural.
Qingqing, who was crying with tears in the corner of her eyes, stood silently beside her, staring at Zhang Ling's movements intently.
She didn't know if her brother's efforts would be effective. He had been giving his mother a massage for almost five years in a row, and it was completely useless.
However, she could feel that her brother would never give up until the last moment. If there was any way to wake her mother up in this world, her brother would definitely achieve it at all costs. Even if he was to die!
Qingqing said worriedly: "Brother, I feel that my mother is sick..."
Although she didn't want her brother to worry, didn't want her brother to be sad, and didn't want her brother to have a heavier burden, there were some things that she had to say.
Because Fu Yao's body has become worse and worse recently. Every time Qingqing wipes her mother's body, she can feel that her mother's vitality seems to be gradually fading away. Her body seems to be withering like a tree close to death. This is a very mysterious feeling. She cannot describe it accurately. However, she does feel it clearly.
"It's fine."
Zhang Ling nodded slowly and said in a deep voice.
Even though he knew that Qingqing would not believe such comfort words, the elder brother still had to say it.
