I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 47 The true dragon appears!
Braised lion's head, steamed deer tail, soft fried tenderloin, fried shrimp, braised meat, canned meat, crystal pork elbow, spiced lamb, boiled meatballs...

Zhang Chen's mouth was full of oil as he ate. The delicious food made him feel like a starving ghost. How long had it been since he had a good meal? Especially the best food.

Although it was an old society and there were no various seasonings, the cooking skills of this society were by no means worse than those of later generations.

The truly top chefs never use various chicken essences or MSG in their cooking. Instead, they use old soup made from various chickens and ducks. The taste of the old soup is better than any seasoning. The so-called seasoning is nothing more than a processed product made by imitating the taste of the old soup. But how can a processed product compare with the real old soup?
It's like artificial meat and real meat, can they taste exactly the same?

The girl over there looked at Zhang Chen wolfing down his food, her eyes showing a trace of heartache, and she kept giving him crystal pork elbow and canned meat. "Why did you run away from home back then? Even if they bullied you, you could have had enough food and clothing if you just put up with them for three to five years. Why did you go out and make a living on your own? I know you've been wronged, but it's better than being alone in this poor country and starving."

Zhang Chen, who was eating his pork elbow voraciously, was suddenly stunned: What the hell? Running away from home? When did I run away from home?

Just as he was about to ask, he heard the girl say, "Dad still cares about you. When he heard that I came to see you, he specially sent you a thousand taels of silver. You also have to understand Dad's difficulties. Although Dad is the head of the family, my aunt's family is an official family, and Dad has to consider her face. Our father has to swallow his anger in front of her. When you and your son were forced to leave the house, Dad didn't know how heartbroken he was, and he could only watch helplessly. Dad wants me to see you and tell you that he has secretly arranged many opportunities for you in the past few years. You just need to study hard. As long as you have learned something in the future, you will definitely achieve great things. Also, give me another two years. When I have established myself in the palace, Dad will no longer have to consider that woman's face."

At this moment, Zhang Chen, who was chewing on a crystal pork elbow, was a little panicked. Wasn't his cheap father dead? How could he still miss him? And even sent him 1,000 taels of silver? He was exiled here with his father and his sister and brother. He had no memory of his mother at all. How could he be driven out of the house and wander here with his mother?

While gnawing on the crystal pork elbow, Zhang Chen looked at the sweet woman in front of him inconspicuously. The big dimples on her face and the clear black and white eyes like water did not bear any resemblance to the elder sister in his memory.

"It's over! I must have recognized the wrong relative!" Zhang Chen paused for a moment while chewing his elbow. He glanced at the majority of the dishes he had finished. A thought flashed through his mind: "Is it too late for me to spit it out now?"

Facing the sweet woman, Zhang Chen's mind was full of thoughts. He paused while eating his pork elbow, then looked at the woman opposite him and asked tentatively, "Um... girl, are you sure I'm your brother? Did you recognize the wrong person?"

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the woman's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears as big as beans flowed out: "I know you still have resentment in your heart, towards our family, towards my father, and towards my mother. You have always been stubborn and didn't want to recognize me, but I am your biological sister, don't you want to recognize me too?"

Zhang Chen looked at the woman's sorrowful face, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string. He couldn't help but feel a headache, but he was certain in his heart that the woman must have recognized the wrong person.

How to do?
Zhang Chen is in a dilemma now.

Most of the dishes have been eaten, and half of the relatives have been recognized. If I tell the other party that I recognized the wrong person... Zhang Chen looked at the majestic man standing at the door, and his eyelids twitched with fear. Then he looked at the crying woman opposite him. Zhang Chen gnawed the crystal pork elbow helplessly to cover up his guilty conscience, and said vaguely: "Forget it, don't cry, I was just asking. After all, we haven't seen each other for some years, and we look a little unfamiliar. Wouldn't it be bad if I recognized the wrong person?"

"Nonsense! You are my brother. I would recognize you even if you turned into ashes. How could I be wrong? Even if I was wrong about myself, I would never be wrong about you." The girl's eyes were filled with tears. She grabbed Zhang Chen's sleeve and said in a weak voice, "Brother, please don't blame me, okay? It was all my fault back then. I abandoned you to go to the palace and left you stranded here with no one to take care of you. But you should also understand my painstaking efforts. I went to the palace to seek a glimmer of hope for us women and to find a way out for the future. If I died in the palace, that would be fine. But if I didn't die, I would definitely find a future for you and break those barriers and shackles."

Zhang Chen looked at the woman in front of him, feeling speechless for a moment. He really wanted to say, "No need to turn into ashes, you've got the wrong person now."

But now he had eaten his meal and changed his clothes, what could he do?
But he was a little confused: "Whose sister is this? She's so cheap to me."

After all, he had eaten her food and received benefits from her. Looking at the crying woman, Zhang Chen could only comfort her: "Don't cry. I was just asking because I was afraid you might have made a mistake. If you made a mistake and took your anger out on me, wouldn't that be bad?"

"Nonsense, you are my own brother, how could I admit my mistake? If I have to admit my mistake, I will admit it!" The girl cried and said solemnly.

The other party grabbed the hem of Zhang Chen's clothes with both hands, holding it tightly as if afraid that he would run away. However, in the process of pulling, a horrible and hideous blood-red mark appeared on his wrist, which was as white as cream. The mark was bright red and the blood had already scabbed over, which looked very scary.

Zhang Chen put down the crystal elbow in his hand and looked at the woman's wrist. After the woman noticed Zhang Chen's gaze, she quickly let go of Zhang Chen's hand and put her hands back into her sleeves.

Zhang Chen looked at the woman with countless thoughts in his mind. The woman met Zhang Chen's gaze with an uneasy look on her face like a frightened deer. Her face was no longer as rosy as before, and her whole face was pale.

Zhang Chen stared at the woman's cheek. Only by looking closely could he see that there was a faint palm print on her cheek, but it was covered up by her makeup powder, making the palm print almost invisible to the naked eye. If the two were not so close, Zhang Chen would not be able to see anything unusual.

"King Pingbian is old and a little powerless, so he enjoys torturing people."

After a long time, the woman lowered her head and said to Zhang Chen in a very low voice: "But don't worry, I can make it! As long as I don't die, I will eventually get through it."

It seemed that Zhang Chen had noticed something unusual. The woman felt that her dignity as a sister in front of Zhang Chen had been completely lost. She stood up suddenly and said in a panic, "I'm leaving first. There are strict entry and exit times in the palace. I'll come to see you again when I make the prince happy."

After saying that, he turned and walked away, like a frightened rabbit. His feet went weak and his body staggered, but he quickly stood firm and ran out of the door in panic.

Seeing the woman's back leaving, Zhang Chen's heart moved, and he quickly rushed into the house, carrying a small box and rushed out. Seeing that the carriage was about to go away, Zhang Chen hurriedly said, "Wait a minute."

The carriage stopped, the woman opened the curtain, a slightly pale face appeared, she forced a smile and said, "What else do you want, little brother?"

Zhang Chen came to the carriage with the box and put it on the carriage: "Take this money!"

"Here are my father's one thousand taels of silver and my five hundred taels of private money. They are just a small token of our appreciation. Do you really not want to recognize us?" The woman's eyes turned red again, thinking that Zhang Chen did not want to recognize her at all.

"You need money more than I do in the palace." Zhang Chen said in an unquestionable voice: "With this money, your life will be better. If your life is better, I will have a better life in the future. I don't have much to spend outside. This money is just a stone in my hand. It will maximize the benefits in your hands. If you don't take it, don't come to see me in the future!" The woman was speechless and choked when she heard it, then she reached out and stroked Zhang Chen's head. After taking a breath, she said: "My little brother has grown up! You can study with peace of mind. I will definitely find a future for you in the future."

"Madam, it's time!" said the strong coachman over there.

The girl looked at Zhang Chen reluctantly, and finally her thousands of words turned into an earnest exhortation, 'Study hard, I will come to see you again'. Then the girl lowered the curtain with tears in her eyes, and the carriage swayed away.

At this moment, a figure came from a distance, holding a white fox and walking slowly from a distance, passing by the carriage. Looking at the gorgeous carriage, the nerd Zhang Chen said in surprise: "I didn't expect such a person to come to this remote place. It's really a rare guest."

Looking at the luxurious carriage, and then lowering his head to look at his own tattered clothes, the nerd Zhang Chen showed an inexplicably complex expression in his eyes. He saw Zhang Chen standing at the gate, and then saw the nerd Zhang Chen holding the vixen, walking past Zhang Chen arrogantly, with a look of disdain in his eyes, and cursed in a low voice: "Reckless man! Countryside old man!", then passed by, staggered and continued to walk away, but did not go home, but went towards the village, no one knew what to do.

Hearing the insult from the nerd Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen did not fight back, but his eyes were somewhat subtle, and an idea emerged in his mind. Then he looked at the back of the nerd Zhang Chen, and then looked at his own house and Zhang Chen's house which were next to each other at the entrance of the village. Because it was Zhang Chen's house before, they were all built as one, and it looked like one family, standing alone at the entrance of the village.

Because Zhang Chen's cheap father was an exile and an outsider who could not integrate into the village, he could only build a house at the entrance of the village, which was some distance away from the center of the village.

Thinking about his name and that of the nerd Zhang Chen, which were pronounced very similarly and the houses they lived in were also next to each other, Zhang Chen's expression became extremely interesting.

He suddenly remembered that the nerd Zhang Chen came to the village with his mother, right?

With all this said, Zhang Chen, with his wisdom, had a guess in his mind: "Could that woman be the sister of the nerd Zhang Chen? Did the nerd's sister recognize the wrong person?"

Zhang Chen looked at the nerd Zhang Chen's dark skin. He was exhausted from being frightened by the haunted ghost at night, and he looked like a suspicious drug addict, which made him look very wretched.

"If that's the case, then I can enjoy these supplies with peace of mind. That damn nerd Zhang Chen bullied me because I was young, seized my family's property, and instigated a vixen to steal my rice, flour, grain and oil. He really deserves to die!" Zhang Chen suddenly felt that he could enjoy these supplies with peace of mind, without any psychological burden at all.

As for the 1,800 taels of silver, Zhang Chen did not regret returning it to the other party. That was the hard-earned money of the woman with her flesh and blood, and he could not accept it!
Looking at the unfinished food on the ground, Zhang Chen stepped forward and carefully served the food, deciding to send it to his younger sister and brother for them to try. His poor younger sister and brother were afraid that they had never enjoyed such a benefit.

"These cloths are really good stuff. I can make some clothes for my younger sister and stepmother. I can keep the rest of the pens, inkstones, and brushes. Although I can't read yet, I can practice writing and the stroke order, which will speed up my learning. I have to move these things away quickly and make sure that the fox spirit can't see them. If the fox spirit sees them and tries to take them away, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble."

Zhang Chen was quick and agile. He placed the food box and cloth on the cart, covered it with worn straw, and staggered towards the next village.

It should be known that money can move people's hearts. Zhang Chen dared not show off his money in public if he caused any trouble, which would be bad.

Just as Zhang Chen walked out of the yard, a falcon in the sky suddenly let out a sharp cry, and there was panic in the voice. Then the falcon flapped its wings and ran out from the mountains. After finding its master Zhang Chen, it threw itself into Zhang Chen's arms with a panicked look on its face.

"What's going on? What happened? How could the falcon be scared like this?" Zhang Chen looked at the falcon in a panic, his eyes full of surprise.

"Ah~"

At this moment, a roar resounded through the sky and reached Zhang Chen's ears. Zhang Chen was startled by the sound and hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound. The next moment, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

A dragon!

A real dragon!

A real dragon appeared in the sky!

There was no way Zhang Chen was seeing things wrong. The dragon was flying across the sky, shuttling between clouds and mist, scaring the birds in the mountains so much that they returned to the forest in panic, and the wild beasts on the ground also lay low.

The sky was originally clear, but in an instant it suddenly started to rain heavily, with lightning and thunder interweaving. The real dragon shuttled through the thunder, looking very majestic.

ps: What skills do you want to get from the dragon?
There is no ridiculous plot. You should be able to guess it, right? This dragon and the dragon in the tomb???
