In a simple and crude house.
Old Zhang and his daughter stared at the young man standing in front of them with their eyes wide open.
At this moment, the young man had already changed into a set of incomparably clean robes that were full of patches. It seemed like his figure was a little tall and sturdy, causing the robes to seem a little tight.
If one looked closely, the young man's eyes were lifeless. He was standing on the ground in a daze, holding a corn cob in his hands and gnawing on it.
"Slow down, there's still …"
Old Zhang was shocked by his table manners. He looked at his daughter helplessly. "When did he wake up?"
"I don't know either."
Cui Hua shook her head repeatedly. "Just now, when you were still forging, I went out to find Grandpa Lin to get the medicine. When I came back, I saw him getting out of bed …"
At this point, she felt her face was still a little hot, and her mind couldn't help but recall the previous scene.
In order to conceal her abnormality, she immediately shook her head and discarded the distracting thoughts in her mind. She asked, "Father, his body recovers very quickly. He was previously covered in injuries, but now he's completely healed. There's not even a scar left. “
"Yeah, I'm curious too."
Old Zhang could not figure it out either. "Old Lin said that the medicinal herbs in the village are limited. The medicine he prescribed is only slightly better than normal medicine for bruises and injuries …"
"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. It's a good thing that he's alive. This way, I can also breathe a sigh of relief."
Old Zhang shook his head and walked towards the young man who was wolfing down his food. He smiled and said, "Young man, this old man's surname is Zhang. What's your name?"
However, the young man only raised his head and smiled at him before lowering his head again to gnaw on the cob in his hand.
"Maybe I was too presumptuous."
Old Zhang didn't think too much about it. Thinking that the other party didn't want to tell him, he asked again, "Can you tell me where your house is? So that we can contact your family? "
Hearing the word 'family'.
The young man's movement suddenly froze, and a blank look flashed across his empty eyes. Then, he threw away the corn cob in his hand that he had finished eating and shouted at Old Zhang, "Hungry … Hungry …"
"My father is asking you. You only know how to eat …"
Cui Hua was so angry that she subconsciously took a few steps back. She was so scared that the young man took a few steps back. Then, she squatted on the ground and cried bitterly with her hands around her head.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to be mean to you …" Cui Hua's heart softened.
The young man picked up the dusty corn kernels that fell to the ground and threw them into his mouth. He looked very aggrieved. "I'm scared … scared …"
Cui Hua seemed to have thought of something. Pointing at her own head, she stammered, "Father, he... he seems to have... have a problem here..."
"Did he get a concussion?"
Old Zhang's expression changed slightly. "Go, invite your Grandpa Lin over. Let him take a look …"
…
An hour later, Doctor Lin performed a variety of examinations on the young man, took his pulse, and interrogated him …
Under the nervous gazes of Old Zhang and his daughter, he stroked his beard and sighed. "If he really fell from the sky, it's very likely that he got a concussion …"
"Can he be saved?" Cui Hua cried out in alarm.
Doctor Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "I'm just a doctor, not an immortal. In such a situation, unless you can invite the legendary immortal master …"
"Immortal Master …"
Old Zhang was extremely disappointed.
They were all ordinary people. Putting aside the fact that they had never seen an immortal master in their lives, even if they did, they didn't have the qualifications to invite them.
As if sensing their feelings, Doctor Lin comforted them. "Now, we can only hope that he recovers on his own. But you don't have to be like this. Other than the fact that he can't remember the past and his IQ is stuck at a five-year-old, he's very healthy."
"I'm worried about how to settle him."
Old Zhang smiled bitterly. "Although his IQ is the same as a five-year-old, he's still an adult. An extra mouth …"
"Since you're the one who saved him, then you must bear all of this …" Doctor Lin smiled as he picked up the medicine box and left.
…
Since then, there was one more person in East Zhang Village.
Everyone knew that the young man who killed the tiger survived. It was said that he was quite handsome, but there seemed to be something wrong with his brain.
Some people felt it was a pity, while others discussed …
And Zhang Ji Iron Shop also had one more mouth to eat.
No, it was ten mouths.
This was because Old Zhang discovered that the young man's appetite was abnormally frightening. An ordinary person could eat three bowls of white rice, but the young man ate half a bucket in one meal.
Fortunately, Butler Huang kept his promise and sent them money. Other than the twenty taels, there was also half of the money given to them by the Tiger Hunting Squad, which added up to nearly a hundred taels.
Old Zhang was very clear that even if he had a hundred taels of silver, sooner or later he would be broke if he just ate it all away.
Left with no choice, he could only use the money he had to buy a few acres of land and two cows in the village …
Zhang Ji Iron Shop reopened.
The only thing that made Old Zhang happy was that the young man he picked up was strong. An ordinary person could only carry a weight of one hundred and fifty kilograms at a time, but the young man could carry five hundred kilograms.
From then on, Zhang Ji Iron Shop had an apprentice who could use a hammer. The farming tools he forged were very sharp, and in a short period of time, Zhang Ji Iron Shop's business was very good. They even sold their tools to neighboring villages.
That was the tenth day that the young man came to East Zhang Village. Old Zhang named him Bai Ziweng because of his white hair at such a young age.
It was also on that day that the vast Central Plains underwent a shocking change.
An imperial dynasty called the Great Qin was officially established, and a man called Ying became the ruler of the imperial dynasty.
The entire southern region accepted Ying as the ruler, and the largest force in the Central Plains, the Demon Region, chose to ally with Ying. The Great Qin Dynasty entered the Central Plains, and the Central Plains officially fell into chaos. Many forces attacked the Great Qin, and the Hundred Empire War officially began.
In the Great Qin Dynasty, a young man called the Black Dragon King crazily took revenge on the Great Yin Dynasty, and destroyed more than ten subordinate forces of the Great Yin Dynasty.
A young man in white with an ancient sword on his back crossed the border and killed his way into the Tianfeng Sea Area, causing the Emperor of the Great Li, Shang Wudao, to flee in panic, and causing two Emperor's Throne cultivators to fight …
The Ehuang Kingdom of the Eastern Wilderness and the Shi Family of the ancient clan sealed off the Tianfeng Sea Area. The empress of the Great Li Dynasty, Yun Yi, sealed off the Tianfeng Sea Area and declared war on the Great Li Dynasty.
The Great Li Dynasty was surrounded by enemies.
And all these changes had no effect on East Zhang Village. The people continued to live their lives of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
The only effect was that the Great Kun Dynasty, which East Zhang Village belonged to, was also forced to participate in the war. There was a great conscription in the country, and every village was sent to every household.
Even the young men of East Zhang Village were no exception. The county government sent out troops to forcibly transfer them, and those who disobeyed were killed without mercy.
Zhang Ji Iron Shop was also affected. As a young man, Bai Ziweng should have been exiled as well.
However, the whole village testified that Bai Ziweng was a fool, and after Old Zhang secretly gave the conscription officer 20 taels of silver, he was finally let off.
Even so, Bai Ziweng joined the team of repairing the plank road with the village's elderly who could move.
