Chapter 1 A four-character book
The winter sunlight brings a warm atmosphere to the earth.
As the sun is noon, the people have already found an open-air place to enjoy the rare warmth of winter. After all, in winter, there is no crop growth and it is leisurely.
The sunshine has finally cleared the snow in the past few days, revealing the withered yellow between the sky and the earth, with a faint green scattered in it, marking that this winter is about to end and the busy spring plowing is not far away.
In this small town, people can live and work in peace, but the orphans in the town who came here due to war have no land or houses, so they have to find some rough work in the town all year round to make a living, which is considered exceptions!
Winter seems even more difficult for them. The townspeople have almost no work to do, and it is obviously more difficult for them to make a living, so these guys simply stay in bed and try to keep as much physical strength as possible.
"Hmm? The sun shines on his butt again. It's his uncle. These guys haven't filled the broken tiles yet."
In the broken courtyard, a lazy voice came from the house in the middle, with a deep confusion.
Looking through the broken window, I saw a 16 or 17-year-old boy still leaning on the bed, wrapped in a shabby quilt, curled up.
The boy stretched his waist, and his big feet covered with mud were exposed from the quilt. I don’t know how long it took, but his white hands were exposed on the other end, which was extremely inconsistent with the dirty big feet.
He lifted the quilt open, and the boy closed his eyes and enjoyed the sunlight shining from the broken roof. "Well? Why is there another hole on the roof? Huh?"
A book that looked a little worn, lay quietly on the boy's chest. The young man picked up the book with a roar, yawned, and casually looked at the cover of the book, "Well, a four-word book."
The boy seemed to be used to talking to himself, holding the book in his hand, sat up from the bed, muttering lazyly: "Four gangsters, you guys, I know that I can't read a few words, but I even brought me books to him. I deliberately read it to him, right? It's good to you."
The boy muttered, yawned again, got up and put on cloth shoes with his big toe exposed, threw away the book, and walked out the door.
He kicked open the broken door open, and the boy straightened his chest, coughed a few times, and put his hands behind him, looking like a master, and then he was waiting for something.
In the past, at this time, four teenagers of fourteen or fifteen years old would come up and hand him toiletries, food and drink.
At this time, there was no movement. The boy raised his sword eyebrows, his cynical star eyes condensed, showing a bit of heroic spirit, but it was really unsatisfactory to wear a shabby long cloth gown.
"Second, where did you four mutants die?"
The boy shouted at the top of his throat, but unfortunately, there was no response.
A bad feeling suddenly came to my mind. In the past, it was not a time to find a job. The four of them were fighting in the yard, but now... something could have happened, right?
The boy's face changed slightly. The five of them grew up together since childhood. There is no need to say much about the deep friendship. As the leader of everyone, he could barely survive by taking the four of them in this small town.
The five people were all orphans. The war ten years ago caused the five people to destroy their own families and die. They were wandering here to meet and gradually get together, which is also a fate.
The war ended, and the five orphans naturally got together, led by the young man, and the four of them followed his advice. For ten years, they had become accustomed to this kind of life and lived on each other's ordinary life.
Over the years, I have been barely worried about food and clothing. Although my clothes are a bit worn and I often don’t eat enough, I am still alive and have not been starved to death. So I said, “Food and clothing are not worrying about food and clothing.”
Bang! Bang...
The sound of four heavy objects falling to the ground interrupted the boy's memories. The boy turned his head and saw that the gate of the yard was broken. The second and four others smashed in from outside the gate of the yard. The landing brought a piece of dust, accompanied by a burst of painful moans.
The boy was shocked and hurriedly ran over, looking at the injuries of the four people.
All four of them had bruised noses and swollen faces. If they hadn't been with each other for many years and their different clothes and figures, the boy wouldn't have recognized them.
Seeing the four people in such a miserable situation, the boy was furious, "Tell the boss, which bastard dares to beat you like this!"
"Hmph, I don't know the sky is high and the earth is thick. I beat it. What can you do?"
A cold sound came from the door, as if the temperature in the entire yard had dropped a lot in an instant. The boy couldn't help but shivered and looked up.
The visitor looked about twenty years old and slowly walked in from outside the gate. He was wearing a green silver-edged robe, which looked extremely luxurious. His flowing shawl long hair was windless. Looking at his face, he was covered with a venomous coldness like a poisonous snake. He held a long sheathed sword in his left hand, and slowly hugged the sword in front of him in words.
Seeing this, the boy's pupils couldn't help but shrink. There were only three types of people who could carry weapons with him in this town, guards, nobles, and legendary cultivators.
It seems that the dress of the person is not a guard, or a noble or a cultivator. These are not something that the five of them can afford.
The only noble in the town is the mayor's family, but the young man is very familiar with the mayor's family of more than ten people. This young man is obviously not the mayor's family, could it be...
"I'm very brave, I dare to steal my money!" The visitor asked expressionlessly.
The dick on the ground struggled to lie up halfway and said weakly: "You have beaten us like this, isn't it enough?"
When the boy heard this, he was slightly stunned, "Stealing something? Shuang, are you going to steal something?"
The boy murmured, as if he was a little unbelievable, and a hint of anger surged in his eyes, "Second, how do I teach you normally? You must have backbone in life, even if you starve to death, you cannot..."
"Brother Tian, no, we didn't steal it. It was him. He stuffed the silver in my arms and wronged us." The dick on the ground interrupted the boy's words and said helplessly.
Brother Tian is the name of the boy by the four younger brothers, and it has not changed for ten years, and the boy is named Tianji.
Tianji's expression stagnated. Tianji never doubted the words of his four younger brothers. So, it was the person in front of him who was looking for trouble.
Seeing that the four younger brothers were beaten like this, and because the other party deliberately found fault, Tian Ji was angry. Although the five of them had poor conditions, not everyone could bully them. There were many wealthy children who wanted to bully the five for ten years. However, over the long run, no one dared to attack the five.
Because of Tianji, Tianji, who is called the "rich nemesis" by the townspeople, in the past, many wealthy and noble children bullied five people, but were knocked to the ground by the five people. The barefoot ones were not afraid of wearing shoes. The five people's desperate attitude had already scared those rich and noble disciples.
Tianji slowly stood up, his pair of sword eyebrows frowned together, and his fists were clenched, "My brother of Tianji is not easy to bully!"
The visitor grinned and jokingly said, "Is that so? Haha, the rich nemesis? Remember, the one who killed you is called Shen Tu Yun, die!"
As soon as the words came, the visitor's sword was unsheathed, bringing up a sword shadow, and then four human heads flew up, blood was everywhere.
Tian Ji was stunned and stared at the four shaking corpses on the ground motionlessly. Although there were many fights between the five people and those wealthy disciples, he had never seen such a scene.
Shen Tuyun glanced at Tianji lightly and smiled jokingly, "Hehe, what's your name? Kneel down and kowtow me a few times, maybe I can spare you."
Tianji came to his senses, and the fear in his heart was gradually replaced by rage, "I...you...you are fighting with you, ah!"
The four followers who grew up together died just like that, dead in front of him, and the whole body was not left behind. Tianji's heart was filled with rage. This anger had already made him lose his mind and rushed towards Shen Tuyun with a loud shout.
Bang!
Shen Tuyun raised his left leg lightly, and Tianji's body flew backwards. He screamed in the air and hit the broken door and smashed into the house.
And Shen Tu Yun patted his boots in disgust and said coldly: "Disgusting."
Tianji stood up with a stool and struggled to stand up, coughing up blood from his mouth. At this moment, Tianji already understood that Shen Tu Yun was the legendary cultivator.
A few years ago, a cultivator came to the town. Everyone in the town went to welcome him. Tianji naturally saw him. Although he did not see the difference between cultivators and ordinary people, looking at the mayor's extremely respectful attitude, I think the cultivator is very powerful.
The cultivator was his idol. Now he realized that what a cultivator is stronger than ordinary people is his strength. With a casual sword, he easily took the head of the four people on their necks and stabbed them at will, causing him to seriously injured himself with one leg.
I heard from the townspeople that practitioners can fly to the sky, escape from the earth, and even live forever. Tianji no longer doubts, and the legendary practitioner's abilities do not seem to be fake.
But what if you know the existence of a cultivator? I am an ordinary person and can't beat others at all. Besides, what's the point of living alone if my four brothers die?
Tianji felt firm in his heart, struggled to stand up, staring at Shen Tuyun with his eyes tightly, and roared: "I have the kind of killing me, but I won't be able to let you go even if I'm a ghost. I will definitely avenge my four younger brothers, bastards!"
As soon as Tianji finished speaking, a ray of light and shadow shot towards him, and there was no time to hide. Then his heart felt cold and a stinging pain came.
Looking down, a long sword had passed by, leaving only the hilt outside, while Shen Tu Yun was still standing a few meters away from the house.
Tianji's eyes were full of unwillingness and unyieldingness, but his eyes gradually dissipated. Are you going to die?
"I don't want to dirty my boots anymore! Goodbye, haha."
The cold voice of Shen Tuyun came from his ears again. Tianji gradually lost consciousness, his eyes darkened, and a last thought flashed in his mind, "All this is just because of the so-called nemesis of wealth?"
Shen Tuyun waved his hand and sucked back the sword, turned around and left with laughter. The blood on the sword was still dripping.
Bang!
Tianji's body fell to the ground, and there was no more breath.
Blood kept coming out of Tianji's chest and flowing under his body. Strangely, the countless blood did not flow away.
Looking closely, a corner of the book was revealed under Tianji's body. This was the four-word book that Tianji had discarded before. The blood that flowed seemed to be pulled and gathered on the book, and then gradually decreased, as if it had been absorbed by the book.
And a few obscure streams flashed slightly in the book.
