Iron Bull Legend

The battle did not start, but after receiving the information from the headquarters, the team quickly evacuated to the rear. This action was not known to the enemy. They were still shooting everywhere. However, less than half an hour after Tieniu and the others evacuated, overwhelming The artillery shells poured down, covering the entire enemy valley and the enemy battlefield.

Tieniu stood high on a mountain, looking at the enemy's position. The explosive power of the artillery fire was simply appalling. Even though he was so far away, the vibration felt as if he was right next to him. At this time, Tieniu truly felt it. , on the battlefield, no matter how skilled you are, don't compete with the extremely powerful heavy artillery.

At this time, he felt that his back was numb, and his clothes were wetted with sweat unknowingly. Just like this, he stared stupidly into the distance, his eyes no longer focused.

The artillery shells plowed the entire valley, and the small hills were leveled. At first glance, they were razed to the ground. The tall trees were swaying here and there. Some were blown into pieces, and some were cut into two sections and inserted into the loose soil. .

The sun was still hot, like a big fireball, scorching the smoky valley. Tens of thousands of people exploded in such a fast way, and the smoke disappeared, becoming the nourishment of nature. Tienniu's eyes were itchy, and he stretched out his hand unconsciously. My hair was soaked with sweat, my eyes were blurred, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.

His vision was blood red, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Groups of pale rotting corpses were rushing toward him. The maggots on the corpses shuddered and fell into the sea of ​​blood, swimming and struggling incessantly.

Tieniu wanted to shout at this time, but his throat seemed to be pinched and he couldn't scream. He struggled so feebly. He knelt down unknowingly, and then fell softly, losing his mind. perception.

Wang Fujie ran to the top of the mountain at the moment Tieniu fell. When he saw Tieniu falling down like that, he hurried over and shouted loudly, but got no response.

When Tieniu woke up, it had already been a week. He was lying in the white inpatient ward of the General Logistics Department. Everything was white except for the sunlight shining through the window, which was golden and was the afterglow of the setting sun.

The warm sunshine shone on his body, making him feel lazy and unwilling to move. This was the first time he felt like this, as if he had been lying there forever, his head was empty, thinking about nothing, and had forgotten Everything.

It seemed that only in this way could he feel at ease. Only in this way could he let go of everything and close his eyes to sleep.

At this time, the door of the ward was opened, and a group of people walked in. An old doctor with white hair and a childish face walked to the bedside, took Tieniu's arm, and began to take his pulse. The old doctor couldn't help but frowned.

He opened one of Tieniu's eyes with his hand and looked at Tieniu. When the three eyes met, there was a feeling of indifference, indifference, as if he were dead. However, what frightened the old man with the gray hair and boyish face at the next moment was that the patient's eyes looked like a mountain of corpses. The sea of ​​blood emerged, and the killing energy suddenly arose. He quickly closed his eyelids and stood on the spot in shock.

"Tong Lao, how is this child doing?" the chief asked softly.

"War syndrome, it's okay if he recovers, but if he doesn't recover, his life will be ruined. For now, it still depends on his own perseverance, there is no other way." Tong Lao said quietly.

"Oh, it's all my fault, at his age... Forget it, please do your best to treat the child and save this child's life. We can't let him be like this..." The chief sighed, with tears in his eyes.

"I'll try my best. I can't let him go to the battlefield again or come into contact with anything related to it. His nerves have been stimulated too much. Let's rest first," Tong Lao gave advice.

Tieniu was lying on the bed. For him, he didn't hear a word of the conversation. He was immersed in his own world. Even when Child Elder opened his eyes, what he released was exactly what appeared that day. The scene made Tong Lao almost immersed in it. Fortunately, Tong Lao was experienced and quickly closed his eyes to prevent the situation from happening.

"Tong Lao, is there anything else wrong with his body now..." The chief did not dare to say the following words.

"He is in good health, but he has mental problems. Let him change the environment and let him adapt for a while to see if he can change. I don't know what his previous living environment was like. It is best to have someone close to him. Let's chat next to each other and talk about the happy things in the past, maybe it will get better faster, maybe." Mr. Tong whispered his suggestion.

Mr. Tong didn't say anything. This was the first time he had seen such a patient since he started working as a doctor. The patient's eyes seemed to have magic power. When the two parties looked at each other, they would be attracted to each other accidentally. He knew that if not If you feel bad and withdraw in time, you will be trapped and become a patient like him. You will be confused and have a cold war.

Mr. Tong himself was puzzled as to why he felt familiar when seeing this child, like his own relative. This was something he had never experienced before in his more than a hundred years of life. "Alas" he sighed. Walked out of the ward.

"Child, get well soon." After everyone left, the chief sat on the bedside, holding Tieniu's hand with his warm hand, and a feeling of sadness rose in his heart.

The chief didn't feel any changes in Tieniu's body, and just stayed with the poor child silently, his eyes full of love.

Tieniu has been immersed in his own world and cannot extricate himself. His mind is always filled with the blood-red color in the sky, the groups of rotting corpses, and the groups of demons rushing towards him. He doesn't know what he should do. What, like a frightened deer, trembling.

Three days later, Tieniu was brought back to the thatched house by the chief to rest. Tieniu squatted on the ground in front of the thatched house for a whole day every day, sitting quietly on the bamboo stool, watching the ants crawling around, sometimes watching He looked at it and smiled, and just counted ants with the children, without doing anything out of the ordinary.

The tall and handsome Tong Lao came. He stood not far from Tie Niu and watched Tie Niu staring blankly at the ants without disturbing him. He sat opposite the chief and asked, "What is the origin of this child?"

"This child is also a poor man. He comes from a rural area in Northeast China. His parents were killed when he was young. He was taught by a neighbor and a strange man named Guo. He has medical and martial arts skills. He is only nine years old this year..." the chief and Tong Lao told. Tieniu told him about the past.

"Oh, the strange man named Guo can't be that unmotivated scoundrel, right?" Mr. Tong muttered, his mind already drifting to distant events.

"Tong Lao, what did you say?" The chief couldn't help but ask after hearing Tong Lao's muttering.

"Ah, nothing, nothing." Mr. Tong woke up from his memories.

"This child cares about the country and the people. He donated his treasure to the army to purchase supplies. He also vigorously helped the army kill the enemy and made many military exploits. That's why I made an exception and recruited him into the army. He is a child with a strange pregnancy and extraordinary talents. , I didn’t expect that in a battle, he was mentally damaged, and it was also my fault. After all, a nine-year-old child was killed and injured tens of thousands of people in a battlefield filled with artillery fire. His mental disorder, alas," said the Chief. Constantly blaming myself.

"A strange person is blessed by God. Let him come out slowly on his own first. Others can't help him."

"Is this the only way?"

"So far..." As Tong Laogang said this, he saw a silver needle box in Tieniu's hand. His little hand took out a silver needle from the box and gently fiddled with the ants on the ground.

"Did you see where the box in his hand came from?" Tonglao asked in surprise.

"I didn't see it, but this kid can do magic. Haha, this kid is very interesting." The chief gave the answer.

"No, this is not magic, this is..." Mr. Tong couldn't continue. He knew some things that ordinary people could not understand from his master and some anecdotes.

Tieniu slowly followed the marching team of ants and moved slowly. A group of ants crawled to a caterpillar. The caterpillar was dead. The ants surrounded the caterpillar and tried to drag it away. He was like this Watching a group of tiny creatures drag caterpillars that are many times larger than their bodies little by little closer to their ant nest.

Tong Lao left, Tieniu was still watching the ants, and the chief was still sitting on the bamboo chair drinking tea. The days passed as plainly as boiled water.

The battle on the frontline battlefield is still in full swing. Today you capture a position from me. Tomorrow, I will give you a sneak attack. However, these are far away from Tieniu. His world does not exist. His daily life My days are spent following ants, crawling around.

Maybe this is his world and his fun. Mei An and Li Shijiao have also come here a few times. However, Tieniu is only in his own world and has never been interested in people and other things. It's as if he doesn't know him. Yes, as long as the chief calls him to eat and sleep, he will eat and sleep reluctantly.

The chief was a little confused. He didn’t know why. He didn’t know what the reason was for the thatch on his thatched hut. Every morning, there would be a lot of thatch spread in the yard. Even if there was a strong wind, it was impossible to attack his thatched hut specifically. , is about to become a bare mud house.

The sun rises and sets every day, and it has been like this for nearly a month. Tieniu lives a leisurely life, without any irritability or boredom. It is like this is how it must be done every day, and this is the original way of life. He My body is a little fat, thanks to the Li family's Jiao mother and daughter, who bring different kinds of meals to their grandfather and grandson every day.

At noon that day, Tieniu was sleeping soundly on his bamboo bed. The weather suddenly changed, and layers of dark clouds rolled down from one side of the mountain, covering the entire world. The arcs of lightning on the horizon kept flashing, as if they were about to be torn apart. This dull world.

"Rumble...Crack" a loud sound split the whole world. Suddenly, majestic heavy rain poured down, and the ground was a vast ocean.

Tieniu, who was sleeping, was not awakened by the loud thunder. An invisible coercion between heaven and earth, carrying countless strands of gas, rushed towards the thatched house crazily.

The chief was also dozing off. He suddenly felt a stream of spiritual energy rushing towards his body, and his body was constantly absorbing it. However, he saw the sleeping Tieniu being wrapped in that spiritual energy, and his whole body was peaceful. Being nourished by spiritual energy. It hasn't rained for nearly a month, which is a bit abnormal in an environment like the China-Vietnam border. Thunderstorms every three days are inevitable in such an environment.

The sudden thunderstorm made him feel abnormal. What was even more abnormal was the majestic spiritual energy. It was coming in such a surging force. It was a legendary existence. "Could it be that he came here because of this child?"

Just when the chief felt that his body was bursting with spiritual energy, he saw all the spiritual energy rushing towards the sleeping Tieniu. Tieniu's little body kept swelling, like a blown balloon, exploding in the next moment. Come.

There were loud noises and thunder. Tieniu's body was constantly being filled with spiritual energy. His small body was constantly absorbing and chewing it. For more than an hour, the thunder stopped and the rain stopped. Gradually it became smaller and smaller, and the world became quiet, and the sky and the earth became a piece of land.
