Chapter 1 Deboning

The sky was drizzling and the stars were falling.

The faint starlight illuminated the gray-black walls of the naturalized city. Under the night sky, except for the few whispers of the soldiers guarding the city on the city tower, only the strange sounds of crows and night owls were left.

Ga!

The black-feathered crow swooped down and landed on the black soil in the countryside, pecking at something gently.

Boom!!

At this time, a rumbling thunder came from the lead clouds that were quickly piled up above the head, obscuring the starlight.

After two breaths, lightning struck down, illuminating the wilderness. The crow stood on a rotten dead body and suddenly turned around. Under his scarlet eyes, a trace of rotten flesh remained on the edge of his sharp beak.

Extravagantly vexing!

Flip!

The crow soared, and a few black feathers fell, and soon flew towards Guihua City.

Inside the city wall, there is another world.

Extending from the outside to the inside, the low gray houses gradually expanded, red and white jade mansions and attics were in groups, and the more they went in, the taller and more magnificent the buildings became.

A river with sparkling light winds over the East City, and the moonlight flows.

The place is in a very contrast with the strange silence of the wilderness outside the city. It seems that a door is opened. When I opened it, I saw noisy sounds suddenly burst out, and the noise came one after another, with various hawking, playing, and scolding.

In an instant, people were brought back from the wilderness to the ancient civilization world.

On both sides of the Baiyu River, flying eaves and attics are located, galleries and painted buildings stand, and the exquisite lanterns exuding festive brilliance, shining red in the face.

Even at night, there are still many diners coming.

"Have you heard that, a small mountain village outside the city was slaughtered by bandits. Good guy, more than 230 people, even babies under the age of 100 were killed..."

"hiss!"

"It's so cruel?!"

"Or do you think the terrible reputation of the rushing crowd was given for free? Not only the small mountain villages, but in the past few months, several villages have been slaughtered by monsters, monsters, bandits, and demons. Alas, this world is getting harder and harder!"

"Why don't the government send troops?"

"Ha, you might as well expect the gangs in the city to come out of the city to suppress the bandits!"

Someone sat there and said, taking a sip of wine suddenly, Tao Wan suddenly hit the table, and a thud of thunder attracted the attention of the lobby.

Although murder and slaughtering the village is not uncommon in this chaotic world.

However, the appearance near Guihua City, especially the name of rushing around, still shocked everyone present.

Even in the VIP room upstairs, many distinguished guests in luxurious clothes heard the movement, poked their heads out, and listened with their ears.

Zhou Han stood in the corner of the first floor and looked at the group of tourists holding long swords and short swords.

He is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with dark skin, not tall, bright eyes, and a clear vertical mark on his lower lip.

According to a Taoist priest from You Fang when he was a child, this was an unknown phenomenon. He defeated his family and advised Zhou Han's parents to abandon him.

But in the end, Zhou’s father and mother still did not listen to the Taoist priests.

Zhou Han survived.

In this chaotic world, a child was abandoned in the wilderness, and he died without life.

When Zhou Han was ten years old, Zhou's father and mother died of overwork and began to support the burden of the family and various coolies. Finally, they came to the Jinyu Building and did a bone-removing hand.

Only large restaurants have bone removal hands, which specializes in cutting and breaking down various slightly larger animals into thin pieces. This task has considerable requirements for the power and techniques of bone removal hands.

And sometimes even monsters have to be dismembered.

After more than a year of coming to this world, Zhou Han adapted to this place and became a teacher of an old bone-removing hand in the city. He learned this skill and had a way to make a living.

Although I just started here, the salary was not much.

But after all, with the capital to survive, I would not starve to death in this cruel world, and I felt relieved.

"Zhou Han!"

A rough shout came from the backyard.

"Here you come." He heard that this was the voice of the King of the Jinyu Tower's master, Wang Gong, responded quickly and moved to the backyard.

...

...

As night falls, the moon becomes deeper and deeper.

The bustling Zhuangyuan Street has also become less crowded. Although there is no curfew in Guihua City, people still dare not go out and walk around at night, which is too dangerous.

Zhou Han carried a bag of desserts wrapped in lotus leaves and hurriedly walked home.

I looked up at the bright moonlight in the sky, and glanced at several swaying figures at the corner of my eyes, accompanied by a few swearing words.

My heart tightened and I couldn't help but speed up.

Leaving Dongcheng and coming to Xicheng, the buildings here quickly became dilapidated.

Black houses stand rows on both sides, and on both sides of the narrow alleyway, the odor of various feces floated over from the stinky ditch.

The crooked bamboo poles and sticks are placed obliquely on the low walls, making the streets and alleys more crowded. The civilian areas in Xicheng are not as exquisite as those in Dongcheng.

Soon, he came to his home.

A dilapidated small house with gray-black mud falling off, very dilapidated.

Zhou Han pushed the door and walked into the room, with a soft smile on his face without expression: "Qingqing, look at what I brought to you."

In the narrow room, a petite woman was busy, placing a plate of vegetables and rice bowls on a small wooden table, with very few oil stars.

"Brother, you're back." The voice was crisp and pleasant.

"There is a little left in Jinyulou's dim sum today. I'll buy it for you to try it at a low price." Zhou Han untied the lotus leaves.

In the lotus leaves, a few pastries that were not good-looking and had a strong aroma were exposed.

The woman is Zhou Han's sister, Zhou Qing, who grew up with each other.

After Zhou’s father and mother passed away, the elder brother became his father. Zhou Han took on the responsibility of the family and supported this small family by working hard.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing has a gentle personality and is very obedient, which makes him feel much more worry-free.

"Jinyulou's pastries! But... it's very expensive. Brother, don't spend this money in the future. I don't like it." Zhou Qing had a pretty face, fifteen or sixteen years old, and had a slim figure. When he looked at the pastry, his eyes lit up, he swallowed his saliva, and then he whispered in a low voice.

Suddenly, her head warmed up and she looked up.

Zhou Han gently rubbed her little head and whispered: "Eat it, I will definitely buy you a better one in the future."

"Yeah!" Zhou Qing wiped the corners of his eyes and focused his head.

She believed in her brother. After her parents passed away, her brother was the pillar of the family, like a big tree supporting the sky. As long as she saw his back, she felt at ease.

The brother and sister took a bean-sized oil lamp to settle for supper.

"Brother, the Chenghe Gang and the Lianshan Gang fought again today. I heard that it was dead." Zhou Qing ate the pastry in a small mouthful and said nervously.

Zhou Han felt a stern.

Is it going to start to get messy in Guihua City again? People are actually starting to die in the city!

He has been in this world for more than a year and has come into contact with all kinds of people. In addition, his body also knows the words and characters. It seems that he has entered a private school to study and understand the general situation of the world.

The dynasty where Guihua City is located is called the Dayu Dynasty.

Of course, it is not any dynasty in ancient China that Zhou Han knew, but a brand new world and feudal era. The city of Naihua is just a very small point in the vast territory of the Dayu Dynasty.

There are many big cities above.

The Dayu Dynasty is now in chaos, with all kinds of military disasters, droughts, floods and plagues constantly. The entire dynasty is facing collapse, and the provincial governors below are in power and the generals are in power.

Zhou Han had the knowledge of later generations and knew that this was the prelude to the upcoming fall of the Dayu Dynasty.

But this is too far away from him. Now he just wants to survive in this world and protect his sister from being safe and secure.

"These gangs are becoming more and more rampant. Qingqing, you should be careful when you go out and don't go to places with fewer people." Zhou Han reminded.

"Well, when I go out, my face will be covered with carbon ash." Zhou Qing blinked, made plastering moves on his face with his hands, and stuck out his tongue.

Zhou Han chuckled softly and poured her a glass of water into Tao Wan.

This girl looks pretty and handsome, unlike Zhou Han's ordinary face, which is very eye-catching.

For safety reasons, every time she goes out, Zhou Han will ask her to apply carbon ash, pot ash, etc. to her face to reduce her appearance and become ordinary.

In this chaotic world, beauty is not a good thing.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

Suddenly, the wooden door of the house was knocked.

"Who?" Zhou Han asked coldly.

He moved forward carefully, holding a rusty hatchet and staring at the door.

"It's me." A middle-aged man's voice came from the door.

"It's Uncle Shi!" Zhou Qing heard that this was the voice of his parents' friend Uncle Shi.
