Wang Xiaoniu fell to the ground and woke up leisurely.

Spiritual energy was injected into his body, and his consciousness recovered a lot, but the long-term hunger and lack of nutrition in his body left him still weak.

Even hanging himself this time took all his strength.

As a scholar, he didn't want to lie in bed and starve to death silently. He wanted to end his own life.

Wang Xiaoniu climbed up and planned to tie the broken knot again.

Suddenly, he froze.

He felt a familiar scent, the kind that he hadn't seen for two years but often appeared in his dreams.

Wang Xiaoniu looked around blankly and said to himself: "Senior Snake Immortal?"

Snake fairy.

This was the first time Xu Hei was called that.

In the past, he was either an old snake demon, an old snake king, or some other beast.

Xu Hei sent a message: "What is an immortal?"

Listening to the voice that appeared out of thin air in his mind, Wang Xiaoniu took a deep breath and muttered: "People and mountains are immortals."

"People are like immortals..." Xu Hei muttered to himself.

What he asked was not the way it was written, but the meaning.

However, Xu Hei didn't want to ask such mysterious questions at all. Only riddle people would do such things.

Xu Hei turned to ask: "Why did you commit suicide?"

When Wang Xiaoniu heard this, he was silent for a long time and sighed: "The country is about to perish, what's the point of my life?"

"You don't have anything to eat. You're going to starve to death." Xu Hei said.

"..." Wang Xiaoniu was speechless.

The family had no money and no food. He just wanted to hang himself while he still had some strength.

It is better to commit suicide for the sake of honor than to lie in bed and starve to death.

If word spreads like this, he can also get a good reputation.

With this thought in his mind, he really had the idea of ​​dying for his country, and he was so heroic that the scene just happened.

Xu Hei sighed helplessly.

There was a flash of light, and a jade bottle appeared out of thin air in front of Wang Xiaoniu.

"You are seriously short of water, drink this first." Xu Hei said via voice message.

Wang Xiaoniu quickly picked up the jade bottle and drank the liquid inside in one gulp.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of coolness in his body. Even his hunger was relieved and he regained some strength.

Xu Hei didn't bring any food for mortals, so he took out a lot of the spiritual energy liquid just now and put it on the ground.

Wang Xiaoniu drank several sips in a row, and his face became rosy.

"Now, do you still want to die?" Xu Hei asked.

Wang Xiaoniu hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

However, he added: "Senior Snake Fairy, don't underestimate scholars. Many of my classmates would rather die standing than be slaves."

"If one day I am captured by the Qin army and made into a slave, I will also commit suicide."

What he said was true. Wang Xiaoniu's eyes were clear and he was not lying.

"Spiritual wisdom is hard-won. I don't know how many reincarnations it takes to become an adult. Even so, you want to commit suicide?"

Xu Hei expressed his doubts.

Wang Xiaoniu fell into silence. He did not answer this question. For him, it was too profound.

"Wang Xiaoniu, where is your sister?" Xu Hei asked instead.

"My sister was bought by the Chen family last year to be a maid. Instead of suffering with me, she can go to the Chen family to have enough food and clothing and not starve to death. Besides, with Mr. Chu taking care of her, she can also read and write."

Wang Xiaoniu said slowly.

Mr. Chu is a famous teacher in Chenjia Town. He is quite talented and writes good poems. He was the number one scholar in the year.

It is said that he came back to teach and educate people because he offended the powerful people of the dynasty, was excluded and suppressed, and could not become an official.

Xu Hei also heard from the villagers that this gentleman often held lectures and taught children how to read for free, and all the villagers praised him.

"It's a pity that there is a war now, and the Chen family doesn't know what is going on. It is said that many immortals have gone there."

Wang Xiaoniu sighed and added, "By the way, Senior Snake Immortal, my name is no longer Wang Xiaoniu. Mr. Chu gave me a name. My name is Wang Ding. I am a Ding who keeps his word."

"Wang Ding...a good name." Xu Guangming said.

Should he also find Mr. Chu and give him a name? This Xu Hei sounds so tacky.

Forget it, I'm used to it and won't change it.

When he first named himself, he couldn't think of any good words with his limited vocabulary.

Xu Hei thought it was quite interesting to talk to Wang Xiaoniu. He immediately went to the wild and specially caught a pheasant, intending to roast it for Wang Xiaoniu.

However, as soon as he breathed out fire, the pheasant was burned into black coals.

Wang Ding didn't care, he grabbed the black chicken and stuffed it into his mouth.

It had been a long time since he had eaten food.

Xu Hei dug up sweet potatoes and caught a few hares and sent them to Wang Ding's home.

"Back then, I ate a few fish from the Wang family. Today, let's just consider it as repayment of my kindness." Xu Guangming said.

This was completely contrary to his usual behavior, and Xu Hei didn't know why he did this.

compassion?

Are you kidding? How could he, a snake, feel compassion for a mortal?

However, this Wang Ding is indeed different. Although he has no spiritual consciousness, his existence can always be discovered.

Xu Hei thought for a long time and planned to leave, but before leaving, he wanted to say something.

"Wang Ding."

Xu Hei looked at the young man in front of him and said slowly: "It's not easy to be reincarnated as an adult. The life you have now is something countless creatures can only dream of."

"Did you know that out of a thousand turtles born, only one hatchling can escape into the sea!"

"Countless salmon swim upstream, but only one percent can successfully lay eggs!"

"You humans can't understand this cruelty!"

Xu Hei's voice, like thunder, entered Wang Ding's mind.

Wang Ding sat on the ground, recalled the quotations of the saints, and thought of Xu Hei's words just now, and fell silent.

"There are billions of creatures in this great Chu country, but how many of them are human beings? One billionth? Haha, how lucky it is to be a human being."

"Cherish this hard-earned intelligence. At least, you can still think. Many creatures have died without even the opportunity to think."

"Don't take it for granted that you can live!"

This is the first time Xu Hei has said so many words since he was born, and it's to a human being.

He didn't say anything more. This is his view that has never changed since he was born.

He envies humans.

If those beasts have intelligence, they will also envy humans.

…………

After the Qin soldiers searched house by house.

Finally, the Chu soldiers hiding in the pigsty came out, but there were only two of them.

The third person became a corpse.

They carried the head of the third person, walked to the entrance of the village, and knelt in front of the Qin cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining.

"Immortal, we persuaded Zhang San to surrender, but he refused. We were so angry that we cut off his head and presented it to you."

One of them knelt down and said.

"We will definitely obey your orders and submit to the Qin army."

The remaining person also knelt down and said sincerely.

The young cultivator nodded slightly, not even bothering to look at them, and ordered someone to recruit the two of them.

Xu Hei's consciousness saw this scene and could only sigh that these two people were very smart and chose the only way to survive.

There is hope only if you survive. If you die, you will have nothing.

But at this moment.

When the young cultivator passed by the two...

One of the Chu soldiers suddenly jumped up, took out a steel nail from his hand, and stabbed the back of the young cultivator's head fiercely.

"Hmm?"

The young monk was stunned, obviously not expecting that this mortal would dare to attack him.

What was even more outrageous was that the other person also took out a jade blade and slashed at his neck.

"Looking for death!"

Although he was only in the early stage of Qi Refining, his reaction was not slow. His whole body was full of spiritual energy and he struck out with a backhand palm.

"Bang!"

The chest of the Chu soldier was pierced, but he did not retreat at all. He hugged the man's body tightly and bit his shoulder, but a light shield appeared and bounced him away.

The other person's blade only made a small cut on his sleeve, and he was knocked away, blood spurting from his mouth and nose, and both died instantly.
