In a quiet and dark alley.
Jiang Yan stared at the monster corpse falling from the sky. What attracted him most was the bright red color among the monster's broken flesh.
"What is this? Is it already in the monster's body, or is it something else?"
Being so close, Jiang Yan could clearly sense a cold air lingering nearby.
My left hand is cold.
The source of the cold air is the monster's corpse, but the monster is already dead and should not be sensed by him anymore.
Jiang Yan's eyes moved towards the red color.
"This should be it."
After waiting for a while, no experts came down to investigate.
The monster's cause of death remains a mystery.
Jiang Yan didn't care about this. He approached the monster slowly and cautiously.
He knelt down and picked up a broken piece of sharp wood. He stirred it gently and quickly picked out the object that glowed red.
Looking closer, Jiang Yan discovered that this was just a piece of metal fragment. If the red light wrapped in the outer layer was ignored, it looked like an ordinary piece of scrap iron, with nothing special about it.
Throw it on the street, and those scavengers may not pick it up.
It's too small and of little use.
"It seems... similar to the piece of silver he got before." Jiang Yan murmured to himself.
When he was in Yuyang Village, he picked up the thorns of several village tyrants and found a special piece of silver among the coins they offered.
The kind that can provide weird values.
Now, he felt that the small metal fragment emitting red light in front of him had properties similar to that special piece of silver.
"Don't let me down."
Jiang Yan took out his finger, glanced at the mixture of flesh and blood still stained on the fragments, suppressed his nausea, and touched it lightly.
Buzz!
A very dense gray-black air flow instantly surged out and squeezed into Jiang Yan's left hand.
ah!
Jiang Yan didn't have time to get excited or check the weird value gain.
Suddenly, a huge flow of information was violently squeezed into his mind. This flow of information was so large, too complicated, and even gave Jiang Yan some illusion that her head might burst.
laugh!
Jiang Yan bit the tip of his tongue and swallowed a mouthful of thick blood. Under the severe pain, he forced himself to wake up.
"Going back, I must go back first. I need to adjust well."
He didn't know what this fragment was. At this moment, double images appeared in front of Jiang Yan's eyes, and his vision blurred for a while.
"This fragment..." Jiang Yan looked down and was suddenly startled. The metal fragment had disappeared, and what was left in place was a ball of black and gray powder.
"Walk!"
No longer staying, Jiang Yan stood up, barely discerned the road, and left quickly. This place was very close to his residence, and he needed to rush back immediately.
The headache is getting worse.
Only in a relatively safe environment can Jiang Yan relax and deal with the abnormalities in his body.
…
Ta-ta-ta-ta.
Jiang Yan returned to the entrance of Yangliu Lane. He was in a very bad state at the moment, his face was pale and his eyes were red.
"Xiaohong, Xiaohong, where are you? I have earned enough money to redeem you..."
"Daddy, daddy, I want to eat that candied haws on a stick, the candied haws on a stick is the best!"
"I want to send this letter, but will Xiaoli'er accept my love..."
"..."
"..."
Countless disturbing voices echoed in his mind, and he felt like his head might really explode.
"Shut up!"
Jiang Yan will regret it now. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation. Absorbing weird values actually comes with these things...
The voices in his mind sounded like the obsessions of ordinary people.
Countless people, countless tones and voices, spoke crazily in his ears.
This feeling made him upset and angry.
"finally reached."
Jiang Yan looked at the black wooden door in front of him and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He smiled slightly, and the next moment, Jiang Yan rolled his eyes and fainted.
The night is getting brighter and the alley is cold and dark.
After a while, squeak!
Next door to Jiang Yan, there was also a black wooden door, which quietly cracked a gap.
A pair of clear eyes appeared, hiding behind the crack in the door, carefully observing the outside.
"Brother Jiang?" A crisp voice came out.
The next moment, a somewhat hazy figure opened the courtyard door and walked out.
This is a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and fair-skinned.
She walked quickly to Jiang Yan and squatted down in a hurry, a little panicked, "Brother Jiang, you... what's wrong with you?"
Snapped!
Suddenly, a big hand held her tightly.
"Xiaohong, Xiaohong, I like you, you know? No matter what you want, I will give it to you.
Xiaohong, don’t leave me! "
Jiang Yan began to speak incoherently and talk crazy.
"What are you talking nonsense about?" The girl's face turned red, a little embarrassed, and she tried her best to break away from Jiang Yan's big hand.
But it's useless.
Her little hand was still held tightly by Jiang Yan.
There was no other way, so she started calling her parents, "Dad, grandma, come out quickly."
Hearing the girl's cry, the nearby courtyard quickly lit up with beige lights.
The first person to come out was not the girl's parents, but another neighbor of Jiang Yan's.
"Xiao He'er, what's wrong? Why is Jiang Yan lying on the ground?
Hey, you don’t have a shirt on either? You two, it’s not like that, right? "
"Brother Zhang, Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother Zhang, you two are blacksmiths, not stay-at-home Gu Niangs. Why are you talking nonsense?"
The girl was so anxious that she almost cried.
"Brother Jiang has fainted. Come and take a look."
The two stopped joking and walked over quickly. At this time, the girl's parents also came out in a hurry.
"What's wrong with Jiang Yan?"
"I'm not sure. In this situation, it looks like I'm drunk."
Several people discussed and decided to carry Jiang Yan into the house first and let him rest.
"Me? What should I do?" the girl asked.
"Let him hold his hand first, Xiao He'er, don't you often talk to Jiang Yan? Why are you so embarrassed now?" Zhang Si smiled.
"I didn't... I didn't." The girl immediately blushed when someone revealed her secret, but it was dark at the moment and no one could see clearly.
He found the key from Jiang Yan's pocket, opened the courtyard door, and several people worked together to carry Jiang Yan in.
"Jiang Yan looks thin, but he is quite heavy." Zhang Liu said suddenly.
"Yeah!" Zhang Si nodded. Their brothers had been working hard for many years and were relatively strong, but at this moment, they were actually sweating from exhaustion when they carried Jiang Yan into the house.
"What do you think happened to Jiang Yan?" Xiao He'er's father suddenly asked.
"This is actually very easy to guess." Zhang Si said with determination, "Jiang Yan went to a brothel to drink wine."
"Smell, does he smell of alcohol? Does he also smell of powder? The most important thing is, listen..."
At this time, Jiang Yan spoke at the right time, "Xiao Hong, don't worry, I will redeem your life..."
"You heard it, he wants to redeem a woman..."
"Then why is his shirt gone?"
"Who knows, a drunk person can do anything." Zhang Si muttered.
"Brother, think about it. Jiang Yan has spare money to drink wine, which shows that he is very capable. It is also a good choice to betroth Xiao He'er to him."
"Hmph! I despise these men who drink flower wine the most."
In front of his wife, Xiao He'er's father made a stern statement, but his eyes showed envy.
"Mom, Dad, Fourth Brother Zhang, Sixth Brother Zhang, what should I do?"
Xiao He'er raised his hand with a grimace.
"There's nothing I can do about it. Jiang Yan is quite strong and I can't break it open." Zhang Si smiled awkwardly and blushed. He was a blacksmith, but his strength was not as strong as that of a young man.
"Actually, there is another way, we can try it." Zhang Liu touched his chin and said suddenly.
"What?" Everyone looked at him.
"It's very simple. Isn't Jiang Yan talking in his sleep? Let's give it a try. What if he can vaguely sense it?
Maybe, after touching a certain point, he let go? "
"Uh... it doesn't sound very reliable, but you can try it. You can't let Xiao He'er stay here." Zhang Si said.
Everyone decided to give it a try.
So the Q&A begins.
Jiang Yan: Xiaohong, do you like me?
Xiao He'er: Hi...I like it (blushing).
Jiang Yan: Brother, why are all the girls I gave birth to?
Zhang Si: You had too many lovers in your previous life.
Jiang Yan: Xiao Li'er, do you still remember that we met at Siyang Bridge last year? I took one look at you and then fell into the water and almost drowned...
Xiao He'er: Remember.
Jiang Yan: Dad, I want to eat candied haws on a stick. Rock-coated haws on a stick is the best.
Zhang Liu answered quickly: Okay, daddy will buy it for you!
Everyone:...
