1446 Looking Back in the Past (1)
Zhou Shu had a dream. He felt that he had returned to his previous life and became a diligent worker again.
Work, marriage, children, birth, old age, illness, and death…
The moment he entered the crematorium, he suddenly woke up.
His entire body felt as if it was being burned by high temperatures. The piercing pain made Zhou Shu let out a cold snort.
“Are you awake?” A voice sounded in Zhou Shu’s ear.
Zhou Shu forced his eyes open and saw a dark red color in front of him. He knew that this was because his eyes were bloodshot.
“Who are you? Where am I?” Zhou Shu said. His mouth was extremely dry, and his throat seemed to be glued together.
Without any strength in his body, he couldn’t even turn his head. He couldn’t see the owner of the voice at all.
“My name is Cao Yue. This is Boundary Bridge Village,” the voice continued.
Then Zhou Shu felt a hand reach out in front of him, holding a bowl.
“It’s good that you’re awake. Uncle Peng said that you won’t die as long as you wake up.” The voice sounded a little tender, with a hint of joy. “Your body is still very hot. Drink some water first.”
The hand brought the bowl to Zhou Shu’s mouth, and he felt water flowing into his mouth.
He smiled bitterly to himself. He was actually so weak now that he didn’t even have the strength to drink water.
The burning sensation in his body gave him no time to think. He gulped down the water in his mouth.
Zhou Shu quickly drank up the bowl of water.
Only then did he see that the person feeding him water was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth.
The young man’s face was ruddy, and he was dressed in coarse linen clothes. Its style was ancient, and a few places were already worn white.
He looked like an ordinary village boy.
Boundary Bridge Village… Zhou Shu pondered. He had never heard of this name.
But the world was huge, and he didn’t know the names of every small village.
After drinking the bowl of water, he felt the heat in his body subside slightly.
Although he was still weak, he was much better.
He felt a little lucky. Previously, in order to kill the Black Emperor, he had destroyed the Legendary Armament Canon.
The Legendary Armament Canon spontaneously combusted. He had thought that he would also turn to ashes.
He didn’t expect to be able to survive.
This should be considered a blessing in disguise.
As for now, he was seriously injured and weak. He would recover slowly.
“Little brother, which country does Boundary Bridge Village belong to?” Zhou Shu asked after recovering some strength.
The fourteen or fifteen-year-old village boy looked puzzled. “Which country? What do you mean?”
Zhou Shu was stunned. He smiled bitterly in his heart. This village boy doesn’t even know which country he’s from? It seems that Boundary Bridge Village is a very remote village.
Zhou Shu shook his head and asked, “Did you save me?”
If Boundary Bridge Village was too remote, it wouldn’t be easy to return to the Huaxia Pavilion.
In his current situation, he couldn’t even stand up. It was impossible for him to return independently.
“Uncle Peng and I saved you together.” The village boy named Cao Yue nodded. “When Uncle Peng and I were mining, we found you lying in the back of the mountain. You were even on fire. After we put out the fire, Uncle Peng carried you back.”
Cao Yue asked curiously, “Who are you? Why did you faint in the back mountain?”
From the looks of it, he wasn’t very curious about the fire.
“I encountered a powerful enemy…” Zhou Shu said casually. He didn’t know where Boundary Bridge Village was, so he naturally wouldn’t tell the truth.
Zhou Shu was no longer a rookie. He was still on guard.
In his current situation, he had almost no ability to protect himself. If his identity was exposed, it was hard to say what would await him.
There were also bad people in the human race.
“I see,” Cao Yue said excitedly. “It’s exactly the same story as the story that the village storyteller told.”
Cao Yue asked, “Uncle, are you a very, very powerful hero?”
“Hero?” Zhou Shu was stunned. This form of address seemed to be very far from who he was. Who would call him a hero?
“I’m not a hero.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I’m just an ordinary… craftsman.”
He originally wanted to say that he was a forger. But after he thought about it, it seemed that for a young man from a mountain village, a forger was also an impressive figure.
“A craftsman.” Cao Yue seemed a little disappointed. But in the blink of an eye, a smile appeared on his face. “It’s a good occupation. Uncle Peng said that if you rely on your skills to make a living, you won’t starve at any time.”
The young man’s honest smile left Zhou Shu in a daze.
How long had it been since he had seen such a smile?
He and the people around him had been fighting the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. It had been a long time since anyone had smiled sincerely.
He wondered if his desperate attack had killed the Black Emperor.
Even if I didn’t kill him completely, he would definitely be powerless to attack the human race for the time being. Zhou Shu was very confident in his final attack.
His attack had consumed a total of 11,086 connate divine weapons and fused with the power of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals and Netherworld Guards.
He had almost lost his life. If he still couldn’t severely injure the Black Emperor, then the Black Emperor was too strong.
