C2 Zhen Jiaji
The set of Zhen Family was located in the northern part of the Xinyuan Continent. It was a small village that belonged to the northern border of the Gilt Gold Dynasty. Because it was located in the northern part of the continent, the temperature of the village was low all year round. It was currently the beginning of summer, but in this place, the sun only made people feel warm.
Most of the villagers lived by hunting. Martial arts prevailed, and the villagers were relatively intrepid. Even some of the housewives knew a few moves.
Five miles east of the village was the most famous hunting grounds in Gilt Gold Dynasty, the Extreme North Mountain Range and Extreme North Forest. Here, there were the most numerous animals and fierce beasts within the Gilt Gold Dynasty, with the highest quality and the most complete variety. Of course, there were also the most ferocious Vicious Beast, these were powerful creatures that were known as Nightmare Terrors by the hunters. Fortunately, their numbers were extremely few and their range of movement were usually limited to the deepest parts of the mountain range.
It was precisely because this was the hunting grounds of the Holy Land that the royal family built a royal hunting ground and palace in the forest. The emperor and the palace ministers would come here every once in a while to hunt or host the upper level hunting competition.
Even so, what people were really interested in about the Zhen Family Collection was not the valiant people's winds or the extreme northern ice forest. It was actually wine, a type of Zhen Fei Ice Dew Wine that was brewed with Zhen Family that was the richest person in the world. Rumor has it that it was specially brewed to commemorate a beauty who was fortunate enough to become the imperial concubine in the Zhen Family. It was precisely because of this wine that Zhen Family became the rich and powerful clan under the control of the northern part of the empire, and because of its refreshing and sweet taste, Ice Dew Wine was even popular throughout the empire.
In view of this, the name of the small village changed to Zhen Family eight years ago.
When the time came during the afternoon, the weather was a little strange. Snow was a common occurrence in the Zhen Family Collection located in the north, but it was rare to see it rain, even in summer. Dark clouds covered the entire village and the surrounding area. A heavy rain was about to fall.
On the way back to the village, four children, half grown, were running towards the village. At the front were two little boys, about twelve or thirteen years old. The two of them were the sons of Wu Lu, a famous hunter in the village. The older one was called Wu Li, and they were sturdy and sturdy. I'm called Wu De. I don't have the body of an elder brother, so I'm relatively thin. However, my eyes are very lively and my face is full of intelligence.
Little Girl, about ten meters behind her, was about ten years old. Her round face was pink and tender. With her pretty face and petite figure, she would definitely be a beauty in the future. She was the daughter of the village chief, Xia Yan. Her name was Xia Qi. Although she was petite, she ran very steadily.
The last fifty meters was also a boy of about ten years old. He was of average stature, had sharp eyebrows, intelligent eyes, and a pair of long, slender hands that covered his head to prevent the sudden heavy rain.
"Hurry, it's going to rain heavily!" "Xiao Qi, Liu Qi, quick..." The Wu brothers, who had already run into the village, turned around and shouted to Xia Qi and Liu Qi behind them. Without waiting for their reply, they turned around and ran into a wooden house in the village.
"Liu Qi, why are you running so slow!" Normally, you would drag your feet if you wanted to accompany us to hunt and exercise. But now, you don't care anymore. Something must have gone wrong. I don't care about you. I'm going home first, I don't want to get wet, so hurry up! "See you tomorrow …" Girls always love to be clean, the most afraid of rain. The petite Xiao Qi also shouted to Liu Qi, who was at the back of the group, and immediately increased his speed. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the road in the village.
"Hey, hey, wait for me, friends? They've all run away at the most critical moment …" Liu Qi, who ran until he was out of breath, shouted as he ran. However, his comrades had already run far away, and he was still a small distance away from the village. Seeing that his comrades had abandoned him in such a manner, he could only resign himself to his fate and continue running back.
The old pine tree in front of the village had already appeared in his line of sight. This tree was the symbol of the village; no matter how many years it had been in the village, how old it was.
Seeing the hope of returning to the village, Little Liu Qi seemed to have another motivation and his originally immobile steps also increased.
Just as he was about to reach the old pine tree, there was a sudden loud sound in the sky. An extremely dazzling bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. Its target was the old pine tree. "Bang!" Suddenly, the sound of something falling made little Liu Qi stop in shock. In the blink of an eye, he forgot that there was a person lying down under the pine tree. He was motionless, as if he had fainted.
Little Liu Qi muttered, "Indeed, what the book says is very true. You can't stand under a big tree when it rains or you will be easily struck by lightning. That uncle is in trouble, I have to help him. You have to move quickly, or else if you get struck by lightning again, he will definitely die." Although a little lazy, but a kind Liu Qi is still very popular in this village.
Little Liu Qi ignored the lightning that might fall at any time and ran towards the bottom of the pine tree.
Looking at the man lying on the ground, he looked weak and scholarly. His clothes were torn in many places and he was bleeding profusely. His eyes were tightly shut and his face was pale.
Little Liu Qi hesitated for a moment, "It seems to be quite serious. That's true, after being struck by lightning, I would have died long ago. It's just that I can't help him walk on his own after he fainted." Liu Qi looked around as he pondered. He was also afraid that the lightning that could strike at any time could not stay under the old pine tree forever.
"Right, over there!" Following Liu Qi's line of sight, it was a low, one-story house. It was an old and dilapidated temple outside of the village.
It was only around 30 meters away from the pine tree. Liu Qi immediately thought of dragging the scholar into the temple to avoid the lightning rain and then finding a place to treat him. After all, the lightning rain came and went quickly.
This was Liu Qi's way of doing things, he was quite daring. Therefore, Liu Qi used his weak hands to cover the scholar's armpits. He forcefully dragged the scholar and hobbled towards the temple, ignoring the fact that the scholar's body was being ground to the ground. At least, it was better than being struck by lightning.
Since they were walking in reverse, it was inevitable that they would slip and fall if their feet became unsteady.
After falling and getting up two or three times, Liu Qi then dragged the scholar into the run-down temple. Just as he straightened up and wiped the sweat off his face with his breath, heavy rain started to pour down along with the thunderstorm …
