In the next few days, Chen Tian walked aimlessly in one direction. He didn't know where he was going. He picked wild fruits to eat when he was hungry along the way. From time to time, he also hunted a few hares for extra meals.
Chen Tian had been walking like this for half a month. His clothes had been torn by thorns, his hair was disheveled and spread behind him, and his face was covered with stubble, making him look like a beggar.
On this day, as usual, Chen Tian brought up a hare for barbecue. After a good meal, he continued on the road. After passing through a forest, he found a wide road. He was immediately overjoyed and ran away quickly.
passed.
In the past half month, he has been traveling through the jungle, always with monsters and beasts. He has not seen a human being for a long time. Now that he sees a big road, it means that he will encounter a human being. He will never have to
Live a life of survival in the wild.
But when he came to the road, he was in despair, because the road was overgrown with weeds and it didn't look like people were crossing it often. He had no choice but to walk along the road.
At this time, there was suddenly a sound of hooves behind him. He turned around and saw several cloud-chasing beasts, some pulling boxes, some pulling carriages, and a few strong men in simple clothes sitting on the carriage.
The cloud-chasing beast is driven ahead.
Cloud chasing beasts are extremely fast monsters. In addition, they have a docile personality, so people tame them and use them as transportation tools.
When the strong man walking at the front saw Chen Tian, he stopped and said to Chen Tian, "Little brother, where are you going?"
Chen Tian touched his head. He really didn't know where he was going, so he pointed to the front and said, "I'll go to the front."
"Ahead? You are going to the Panning Kingdom, right?"
"Uh! That's right!" He didn't know what the Panning Kingdom was at all, so he simply agreed casually.
"What a coincidence, we are also going to the Panning Kingdom, why don't we give you a ride!" the strong man said with a hearty smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage behind him was opened, and then an old man stuck his head out and asked: "Dazhuang, who are you talking to?"
The strong man named Da Zhuang pointed at Chen Tian, and then said: "Village chief, I met this little brother here. He is also going to the Panning Empire. How about we give him a ride!"
At this time, the old man also moved his eyes to Chen Tian and smiled at him, "Little brother, if you don't mind, let's go together!"
Chen Tian looked at the simple appearance of the two of them, and his legs had become numb from walking in the past half month, so he agreed: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
With that said, he stepped onto the carriage, opened the curtain and got in. After entering, he discovered that there were two children and a woman inside.
Chen Tian was stunned for a moment, and then the old man motioned for Chen Tian to sit on the empty seat beside him. Chen Tian nodded, then came to sit on the empty seat next to the old man.
As soon as he sat down, a little boy opposite looked at him, with a trace of fear in his big eyes.
Chen Tian looked at his tattered clothes, and then smiled at the little boy.
When the little boy saw this, the fear in his eyes lessened, and he mustered up the courage to ask tentatively: "Are you a bad person?"
"Uh!" Chen Tian was stunned, and said in his heart: "Am I that bad?"
But he still smiled and said: "I am not a bad person, I am a person who beats bad people."
"Really? Then aren't you very powerful?" The little boy immediately looked at Chen Tian with admiration, and the little girl on the other side of the woman also looked at Chen Tian.
Chen Tian touched his head in embarrassment, "It's pretty awesome!"
Then he quickly changed the subject and asked the old man beside him: "Senior, are you from the Panning Kingdom?"
The old man shook his head, "No, we went to the Panning Kingdom to survive."
"Survival?"
The old man nodded, and then said: "We are from a small village a few kilometers away. We were attacked by monsters a few days ago. Fortunately, we got help from an expert, so we survived."
The old man took a breath, and then continued: "After rescuing us, the expert was afraid that monsters would attack us again after he left, so he suggested that we go to the Panning Kingdom, where he said we would be protected.
"
Before Chen Tian could speak, the strong man driving outside asked: "Little brother, judging from your appearance, your village must have also been attacked by monsters! You won't be the only one left in your village, right? You
....”
"Da Zhuang!" Seeing that the strong man was speaking freely, the old man hurriedly interrupted him, and then smiled apologetically at Chen Tian, "Da Zhuang didn't mean any harm, it's just that he was a bit unrestrained. Little brother, don't mind."
Chen Tian smiled indifferently, "It's okay!"
Now he finally knew why they took him with them. It turned out that they regarded him as someone who suffered the same misfortune as them, but he didn't explain too much. What he suffered was almost the same as them.
Seeing that Chen Tianze was so easy to get along with, the little boy hesitated for a moment, slowly moved to Chen Tian's side, and looked at Chen Tian with a pair of pure, bright eyes.
Chen Tian reached out and touched his head and said, "What's your name?"
"My name is Ping An, which was given to me by the village chief's grandpa, which means that I will be safe all my life." The little boy said loudly, with a happy smile on his face.
"What a name!" Chen Tian praised.
"Brother, you just said that you were the one who beat up the bad guys. Can you tell me how you beat up the bad guys?" The little boy looked at Chen Tian with his big eyes, his face full of expectation.
"Of course!" Chen Tian didn't want to refuse the little boy, so he readily agreed.
Next, Chen Tian revised his experience and told it to the little boy. The little boy sat aside and listened quietly. When he heard that Chen Tian defeated the bad guys, he would applaud happily.
When he heard that Chen Tian was injured, he would show a worried look.
Chen Tian spoke seriously, and the little boy also listened carefully.
When Chen Tian finished speaking, the little boy still looked unfinished. Although he didn't understand a lot of what Chen Tian said, he still listened carefully.
He was like Chen Tian's most loyal audience, and Chen Tian was also the best speaker. In his own way, he expressed all the grievances he felt during this period.
After finishing speaking, Chen Tian seemed to have lifted a huge stone from his heart. He looked at the little boy and said, "Ping An, thank you!"
The little boy asked doubtfully: "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for listening to my story!"
The little boy showed an innocent smile, rubbed his palms, and said hesitantly: "Brother, I...can I become your disciple?"
