Douluo's opening reveals Tang San's martial spirit

Chapter 15: Tang 3: Me and my Nian Soul Ring

We encountered countless dangers along the way. Not long after entering the Kunlun Mountains, we were attacked by grizzly bears. Later, we were chased by wild wolves and hyenas countless times. We almost fell off the cliff several times.Fortunately, we were protected along the way by our ancestor, the Jiutian Xuannv of the Yizi clan, and we finally arrived safely in a strange and uninhabited territory.

It had been a few days since I had eaten much. I and I were walking feebly at the bottom of the valley, surrounded by towering barren mountains and wild ridges on both sides, with not a single person around.

The valley is densely overgrown with shrubs and weeds, and the ground is strewn with gravel.Fortunately, I am wearing straw sandals that Sister E knitted by myself. They are made of strong grass bark silk, so my feet will not be injured when walking on this kind of ground.

But I was so hungry that my legs became weak as I walked. I accidentally fell under a big rock and got a bloody cut on my forehead.

Seeing my face covered with blood, Sister E felt very distressed.She carefully helped me sit on the stone, then went around to pick a handful of herbs and chewed them in her mouth. Finally, she spread the chewed herb residue evenly on the wound.

I only knew that my master was the best at collecting herbs. I didn’t expect Sister E to be able to do this. Her skills seemed to be even more proficient than my master’s.The herbs took effect quickly and the bleeding was stopped immediately.I reached out and touched the dregs of the medicine, then put it on my tongue to sweeten it. The taste was extremely bitter.

I went to taste the herbs, mainly because I saw Sister E chewing them so calmly, and thought they tasted good and could quell hunger.When I tasted the bitter taste, I was moved to tears, and couldn't help but hug Sister E and cry.

Sister E stroked my back and said, "What's wrong, Gu? Why are you crying? Are you hungry?"

I am very hungry. Although I have had no parents since I was a child and do not know what it means to be loved, I will never act coquettishly towards her at this moment.

I will be 13 years old in a few months. For us tribesmen, a 13-year-old man can go to the battlefield, so how can he be so childish?

I quickly stopped crying and answered firmly: "I'm a little hungry, but I was moved to tears because you were so kind to me, sister E. This doesn't count as crying. You wait for me here, I Go get something to eat.”

My answer surprised her, and she asked worriedly, "Gu, you're still injured on your forehead, you'd better let me find something to eat."

"It's not like I hurt my hands or feet, it's not a problem." This time I acted very forcefully and no longer obeyed her arrangements.

When Sister E saw me walking away, she didn't say anything more. She just sat on the big rock and silently watched me leave from a distance.

This is a wilderness area, and there are no tribal hunters coming or going. There must be many beasts living here.The terrain at the bottom of the valley is wide, and I definitely won't be able to catch up with those agile beasts at the bottom. If I want to find food, the only way is to go up the mountain.

The mountains here are relatively steep, so I can only climb up the mountain. As long as I can find prey here, the prey will naturally not be able to escape quickly.

Climbing is not a unique skill for me, but everyone living in our tribe knows this climbing skill.A large part of our Lieshan tribe relies on hunting to obtain food. Although I am not very good at hunting, I am also familiar with these hunting techniques.If I have never eaten pork, then I have also seen pigs running. This is the same truth.

After a lot of hard work, I finally came to a gentle slope on the mountainside.A group of wild monkeys roared incessantly from the trees overhead, scaring the animals grazing on the gentle slope into scattering.

"Damn monkey, ruined my good deeds." I walked on the gentle slope in disappointment, cursing to myself.

At this moment, a group of birds suddenly appeared in the woods in front of me, and then there was a fierce roar of a tiger, which scared me so much that I turned around and ran away.

This is the king of beasts, fierce, cold-blooded and merciless. My first reaction when encountering such a beast is to run away.

Tigers are different from other animals in that they are good at jumping on mountains. Naturally, I became clumsy in front of them.In the blink of an eye, I felt a huge thing approaching quickly from behind. Before I could turn around to look, the giant tiger jumped in front of me, blocking my way.

The sight before me made me despair. I looked very weak in front of the tall tiger.Originally, I came here to look for food, but I didn't expect that I would become a delicacy in the eyes of the tiger. What an irony.

But I won't give in that easily. Sister E is still waiting for me hungry at the foot of the mountain. I can't just die like this.

In my haste, I quickly picked up a stone and started a brief confrontation with the giant tiger.The tiger was roaring and jumping around in circles around me. It seemed that it was looking for another opportunity to strike.

While it was jumping, I reached out and touched the second stone, holding one in each hand. This is my only weapon now.

This giant tiger didn't know what it was hesitating about. It lingered for a long time without launching an attack. It just kept roaring at me.Finally I lost my patience, got in front of it, picked up a rock and threw it hard.

Because I struck too suddenly, I chose the opportunity for it to turn its back on me. The stone hit its front leg shoulder blades heavily, and then the giant tiger roared one after another at me.I seized the moment and hit the stone again, hitting it right on the head. The pain caused it to fall off the stone and roll on the ground.

I quickly bent down to pick up rocks and kept throwing them at it, scaring it so much that it retreated more than ten meters.

At this moment, I got myself a chance to escape. I turned around and ran towards the edge of the gentle slope, starting to enter the steep mountain wall.

Unexpectedly, the giant tiger still didn't give up, roared and rushed down, and then pounced on me viciously.

The surrounding mountain walls are steep and I have no way to escape. I am about to be pounced upon by it. The crisis has arrived.Out of a conditioned reflex to survive, I had no choice but to choose another dangerous path and jumped off the cliff.

When I fell into the valley, I saw a giant tiger standing on a branch, roaring at me.Seeing the food in my mouth being thrown away like this, it seemed very unwilling and reluctant to part with it.

There were dense trees on the cliff side, and I was thrown onto the branches one by one, causing severe pain to come from time to time throughout my body.In the end, I fell heavily to the bottom of the valley, my eyes went dark, and then I lost all consciousness.

When I struggled to open my eyes again, I saw E Zheng looking at me with tears streaming down his face. At that moment, I felt extremely guilty.

I don’t know when I found me in a coma. When I woke up, I found that my leg had been severely fractured and I had multiple serious injuries all over my body. It looked like it would be difficult for me to survive, so I cried very sadly.

But I didn't give up on me. She kept busy, helping me collect medicines to bandage my wounds, and also used branches to tie my broken leg.

I was just dying for the next few days, relying on some wild vegetable soup that I made for me to sustain my life. Death was so close to me, and I saw me crying every day.

Late one night, in the hazy state, I saw that I still hadn't fallen asleep. She was adding firewood to the fire and wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead.Maybe she was too tired from taking care of her day and night, or maybe she was too hungry and too weak. I saw her figure flicker, and she collapsed next to the fire from exhaustion.

I fell down. She worked too hard and needed someone to take care of her at this time.

I endured the pain all over my body and barely supported my weak body. I lay on the stone ground and crawled slowly towards her.Inch by inch, I tried to hold on, and with great effort, I finally came to her side.

I held her in my arms, dragged her away from the hot fire, and placed her on the straw mat I had just been lying on.Then I took the wild vegetable soup she had cooked for me and slowly fed it to her little by little.I know that she cooked this soup with great difficulty. She did not touch any of the water and left it all for me to drink.

It turns out that my injury is not that serious, and my movements feel a little more natural now that I am moving.Under the firelight, I accompanied her as she fell asleep, picking up a stone and slowly peeling a branch.

I stayed up all night that night, guarding her just like she guarded me.I used this time to sit on the edge and learn from the tribesmen to make a simple bow and cut arrows made of more than 20 branches.

My body was extremely weak, and she was still unconscious by the next morning. Now she urgently needed food to replenish her strength, otherwise she would die.

I supported a branch, walked crookedly, and went to the forest on the edge of the cliff with my bow and arrows.I stayed under the woods on the cliff for more than two hours. With the simple bow and arrow in my hand, I finally hunted a few birds.The most fortunate thing was that a wild boar fell from the mountain and was shot to death by me with an arrow.

Although this wild boar is not big, it is enough to feed both of us for several days.

When I handed the roasted game to her mouth, she finally woke up smelling the fragrance.Her first reaction was to stare at me, tears of emotion bursting out of her eyes, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Gu, are you feeling better? Why don't you lie down and rest?"

I comforted her and said, "Okay, you are very weak. Don't talk and eat something first."

I looked at me and nodded, then took the piece of roasted bird meat and ate it slowly.

I look a little weak in the sun, but my face shows happiness and joy, and along with her gentle figure, it makes me feel that everything is worth it.
