The pill that Master Shu gave Chu Tian was very powerful.
After all, this was the top-level elixir that Lord Shu had obtained from the secret vault of the City Lord's Mansion in Tianfa City. It had the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life. Chu Tian's injuries were not complicated. After taking the pill, Chu Tian woke up before dawn.
Following the habit he developed in Dayu Temple, Chu Tian first carefully moved his fingers and toes, then his wrists and ankles, and then carefully moved every muscle in his body.
Chu Tian heaved a sigh of relief after finding that there was nothing unusual on his body and all the broken bones had healed. He slowly stood up and looked around.
A very simple thatched house.
The pitch-black roof had been smoked by fireworks for many years, and there were even wisps of black dust hanging from the roof.
The family was not very wealthy. Chu Tian looked at the man and two women lying by the fire. All the property in this thatched house was visible at a glance. There were probably a few pottery jars and a set of pottery bowls. The most valuable thing was probably a few pieces of animal meat hanging on the fire, which were covered with a layer of black ash.
The big man and the two strong women were curled up on the hay, and the few animal skins in the house, which were of poor quality, were all placed under Chu Tian's body. Chu Tian's eyes softened when he looked at the big man and the strong woman. They were quite simple and kind-hearted.
Lord Shu climbed onto Chu Tian's shoulder and told him in a shrill voice what happened yesterday.
Chu Tian nodded, a divine light flashed between his eyebrows, he wanted to release his divine sense to investigate the movements around him, then he suddenly groaned, only to feel a sharp pain in his head, the huge divine sense seemed to be crushed by a hundred thousand mountains, it could not be mobilized at all, and could not leave the body at all.
"This!" Chu Tian looked at Shu Ye in astonishment.
"Are you at a disadvantage? Lord Rat suffered this yesterday. Not only can't I mobilize my spiritual power, I can't even use my magic power... See, can you take anything out of the bracelet?" Lord Rat spread out his two front paws and groaned in pain.
Chu Tian looked at the bracelet on his left wrist and tried to take something out of it.
A thick, flexible resistance blocked Chu Tian and the bracelet. No matter how hard he tried, he could not sense the existence of the storage space in the bracelet.
Master Shu grinned. Yesterday, he spat out a mouthful of blood in order to take out a pill for Chu Tian's healing. Seeing that Chu Tian was unable to take anything out of the bracelet, Master Shu felt much better!
"What the hell are we in?" Chu Tian gritted his teeth and stood up carefully without disturbing the owner of the thatched hut. He stood by the window and looked out.
The sky was slightly bright, and Chu Tian's mind and magic power were suppressed by some unknown force and could not be mobilized, but his physical strength remained the same, and his five senses and six consciousnesses remained the same. With this little dim light, Chu Tian's eyes were like knives, and he swept across most of the village in an instant.
There were already people walking around in the village. Many strong women were tiptoeing and carrying bundles of dead branches and leaves from the grove near the village. They carried them on their shoulders and brought them to a large stone house in the middle of the village.
Chu Tian listened attentively and could faintly hear the sound of flesh and bones being torn, and the sound of a sharp weapon scratching across tendons.
Considering what Rat Master saw and heard yesterday, it was already dark when they returned to the village yesterday, making it inconvenient to work. The villagers who got up early, mainly the women who did not participate in the hunting, were packing up the prey they brought back yesterday.
Those dead branches and leaves...with the productivity level of this village, are they using them to make jerky?
Chu Tian turned around and walked around the thatched hut. In a pottery jar next to the fire pit, he found a shallow layer of black coarse salt grains, about two taels at most.
Obviously, this village is short of salt, and they cannot afford to use salt to make bacon. Yesterday, several village elders mentioned the word "rainy season". The rainy season is humid, and fresh meat will rot and deteriorate quickly. The only way to preserve it for a long time is to dry the meat.
However, even if it is dried meat, it will not be preserved for very long without salt.
Returning to the window, Chu Tian stretched his arms and legs.
A feeling of coldness and stiffness came over Chu Tian's meridians, and he felt that his whole body was a little swollen, and it was a little uncomfortable when he moved.
Yesterday, when they were about to leave the collapsed teleportation space, Chu Tian gave Shui Wuhen a fierce sword. It was not known whether he was killed or not. However, considering the power of the Green Dragon Sword, even if he did not die, it would be enough for Shui Wuhen to suffer for a while.
Shui Wuhen was also extremely ruthless and pressed thirteen palms on Chu Tian's body, sending thirteen soft and cold water forces into Chu Tian's body, blocking his meridians and acupoints, and lingering in his internal organs.
These water forces would have caused great damage to Chu Tian's body, but wisps of faint green light shone from Chu Tian's spiritual realm, flowing through Chu Tian's body like water waves, and turned into a thin light curtain that wrapped the thirteen water forces inside.
The water power was accumulated but not released, and it simply blocked the joints in Chu Tian's body.
Chu Tian's absolute strength was still there, but his movements were a little stiff when he raised his hands and feet, and he always felt awkward all over.
"It's nothing serious!" Chu Tian felt relieved when he saw that the light of the golden lamp could suppress the water power that Shui Wuhen sent into his body.
Next to the fire pit, the big man who carried Chu Tian back suddenly woke up. He stood up like a awakened tiger, but did not make any big noise and did not disturb the two sleeping women.
Seeing Chu Tian standing by the window, the big man strode over and smiled at Chu Tian: "Brother, are you awake? I am the descendant of the God of Fire, my name is Crab Claw, which village are you from? You look a little frail!"
Crab Claw stretched out his hand and gestured the height difference between Chu Tian and him.
He was more than a foot taller than Chu Tian, and his body was more sturdy and strong. Chu Tian's muscles were streamlined, while Crab Claw's muscles were bulging all over his body, and he exuded a wild and powerful aura from head to toe.
Not to mention that the skin of the crab claws is black, and it looks like it has been weathered by countless storms.
However, Chu Tian's skin was as white as jade and as delicate as mutton fat. Crab Claw said that Chu Tian's body was a little thin, which was true.
"Crab claws?" Chu Tian looked at the crab claws in astonishment.
"Well, when I was born, the village hunted an old mud crab. Hey, my family got half a crab claw. My father said that it was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life, so I was called Crab Claw." Crab Claw laughed and repeated the previous topic: "Brother, which village are you from? What happened to you yesterday?"
Chu Tian pondered for a while, slapped his head hard, and sighed: "My head is broken, I forgot everything!"
