It was already dark when Zhou Dao woke up. He reluctantly stood up and looked around. He seemed to be in a room. Judging from the structure of the room, it should be in a mountainous area. Herbs were also applied to the wounds on his body.
It seems that it was done by those hunters. My internal injuries are still very serious. My meridians tingle when I get lucky.
Just as Zhou Dao was sitting there thinking wildly, the door creaked open...
"Ah, you're awake." A girl of fourteen or fifteen years old came in. She was looking at Zhou Dao curiously with her big round eyes. It wasn't until Zhou Dao was embarrassed that he reacted.
"Ah, you're hungry. I'll get you something to eat." After saying that, he disappeared again.
"Uh," Zhou Dao really didn't know what to say.
With a bang, the door was pushed open again. The girl came in carrying something.
"I'm hungry, come and have something to eat."
Zhou Dao was indeed hungry, so he took a bowl of porridge and ate it without any hesitation.
"Why is it so painful?" Zhou Dao cried out as soon as he took one sip.
"Haha, this is medicine made by boiling it. Of course it is bitter. Drink it quickly. It is made from the bones of a tiger."
"Oh" Zhou Dao agreed and started drinking again. After finally finishing his drink, Zhou Dao found that the girl opposite was still staring at him.
"Well, um, um, what are you looking at?" Zhou Dao said embarrassedly.
"I heard the adults say that you killed that big tiger, right? Moreover, you were injured before. You were able to kill the tiger like this. It's really amazing. I heard that you only moved your hands twice and killed the tiger."
The tiger is done. Is it true?" The girl said so much in one breath that Zhou Dao felt a little dizzy.
"Well, it seems so." Zhou Dao replied helplessly.
"Wow, you are so powerful. How could you be so powerful? You can easily kill such a big tiger. I have never heard of such a powerful person." The girl yelled again.
'Well, this is called a big tiger. If you meet Xiaobai, you will know what a big tiger is. I can't even fight back in front of Xiaobai,' Zhou Dao thought.
At this time, footsteps were heard, and several more people came in, several of whom were the hunters Zhou Dao had met at the beginning.
"Little brother, you're awake. Are you feeling better?" One of the dark-faced men said with a smile.
"Well, hello, uncle, I'm much better." Zhou Dao quickly stood up.
"Sit down, sit down, let's see how you healed so quickly because you were seriously injured." Another middle-aged man quickly pressed Zhou Dao down.
"Little brother, you are the savior of our village this time. If it weren't for you, not many of us would have survived. You have to stay with us for a while this time so that we can entertain you well." One of them is older.
The man who clicked said.
"I was also rescued by you, didn't you? Don't be polite. In fact, I can't leave early because the injury I suffered hasn't healed yet, so I may have to disturb everyone for a few days." Zhou Dao said quickly.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how long you stay. It would be better if you don't leave." One of the young people said. This young man still had injuries on his body. He was the dog who was almost eaten by a tiger.
"Don't talk nonsense, dog. This little brother is no ordinary person at first glance. We are already lucky to be able to stay with us for a few days. Okay, everyone, go out and don't disturb the little brother's rest. Erya is still here.
Make something delicious for your little brother." The black-faced man finally said to the girl.
"I know." The girl smiled.
This is a mountain village similar to my own. Most of the people in the village rely on hunting for a living. The tiger encountered this time is a normal thing for hunters. If they had not met Zhou Dao, even if they could hunt the tiger, they would still have to kill it.
The loss was heavy. Everyone was grateful to Zhou Dao. Of course, some young people and some children looked at Zhou Dao with admiration. Because even the bravest hunter in the nearby village could not be killed so easily.
Such a big tiger.
In the evening, Zhou Dao sat quietly by the stream at the head of the village. The true energy surged in his body. Of course, spiritual power was also mixed in. This way of cultivation has become a habit of Zhou Dao. Of course, Zhou Dao also felt this
One of the benefits of practicing cultivation is that you get twice the result with half the effort. The same is true for this healing session.
With the slow flow of true energy in the body, the damage to the meridians in the body gradually recovers.
"Hoo" Zhou Dao let out a long breath and then stood up.
"The injuries on my body are finally almost healed. I have been living here for seven days. It seems it is time to leave. I guess my senior brother is also anxious." Zhou Dao said to himself.
Walking on the path leading to the village, I felt like I was back home, of course, if there weren't those eyes full of gratitude and adoration.
"Zhou Dao, you've finished practicing." A pleasant voice pulled Zhou Dao out of his reverie.
Zhou Dao knew it was the girl named Erya as soon as he heard it. At this time, the other party was looking at him with a smile.
"Yes, second sister." Zhou Dao knew that the other party was older than him and that he was taking care of him when he was injured, so he affectionately called him second sister, and he never regarded himself as a lifesaver in the eyes of everyone.
"Are your injuries healed?" Erya asked with concern.
"Well, it's almost done. I should leave tomorrow."
The girl was startled: "It's so fast. If you don't stay a few more days, wouldn't it be bad to dislike us?"
"No, everyone is very kind to me, but my injury has healed." Zhou Dao said hurriedly.
"Yes, this is not your home after all, and you have your own things to do." Erya's tone was full of reluctance.
"Thank you so much for taking care of me these days. Otherwise, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly." Zhou Dao was also a little reluctant.
"Then will you come again in the future?" the girl asked for a long time.
"I don't know either." Zhou Dao was also at a loss. Seeing the disappointed look in the girl's eyes, he added, "I may come when I have time."
"Well, let's go back and I'll tell everyone that you can't leave secretly." The girl's words broke Zhou Dao's plan.
The next day, Zhou Dao left the village in the presence of the whole village. At this time, Zhou Dao had an indescribable feeling in his heart. One year ago today, Zhou Dao never imagined that one day he would become a hero in the eyes of others.
Carrying two big bags on my back, I set foot on the road to Dongming City. I won't get lost this time. According to the villagers, it's only three days' journey from Dongming City.
Touching the two big bags behind his back, Zhou Dao smiled bitterly and said, "My senior brother is going to laugh at me again when he sees it." The bags were filled with things given by the villagers. Among them were big cakes made by Erya.
They were far away from the village, and Zhou Dao gradually calmed down. After walking a little further, he saw that it was already noon. Zhou Dao was about to stop and take a drink of water. Something in front of him caught Zhou Dao's attention.
Zhou Dao took the first few steps and smelled the smell of blood. He frowned and walked a few more steps. Sure enough, there was a person lying on the ground. To be precise, it should be a corpse.
