Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 157 Stone and Wood

Yan Li stared at the Stone God with his eyes fixed, and his voice seemed to carry a magic that could confuse the mind.

He slowly said: "You can say nothing, because...even if you don't say it, I know everything."

The Stone God held his head tightly, a look of pain on his face.

He tried desperately to suppress the thoughts in his mind, but these thoughts were like an unstoppable spring, pouring out madly.

Under Yan Li's gaze, everything about the Stone God seemed to be exposed to Yan Li's eyes at this moment.

The Stone God, whose original name was Stone.

He was originally an ordinary mortal living in the State of Chu.

In a place like the State of Chu, mortals are at the bottom of the food chain. They can be eaten by wild beasts, demons and monsters, and even many of the immortal cultivators feed on humans.

It was an extremely cruel world where the lives of mortals were worthless and they did not even have the right to control their own lives.

Because every area has various so-called lords, and the mortals living in the areas under these lords are the private property of these lords.

If the lord wants to eat you, then you have to wash yourself clean and wait to be eaten.

This is where the stone grew up.

However, by chance, Shitou and another companion from the same village were selected by the lord and taken to the lord's house to work as servants.

Shitou still remembers the unstoppable excitement on the faces of his parents and the envious faces of the villagers when he was taken away with Mutou.

Even they themselves were extremely excited at the time, because this meant that they no longer had to worry about becoming someone else's food.

They no longer have to worry about being caught and eaten by any passing monster or immortal in their sleep.

So, even if I become a slave, that's fine.

With this mentality in mind, Stone and Wood worked very hard in the lord's house.

They get up early and go to bed late every day, working tirelessly to complete every task.

No matter what the job is, no matter how hard or tiring it is, they will do their best.

In this way, while other slaves were replaced one after another, the two of them worked as slaves in the lord's house for ten years.

When they thought that as long as they continued to work so hard, they could maintain the status quo and not have to go back to the precarious life they had in the past...

An accident happened...

It was a night when the once high and mighty lord suddenly returned home in a very embarrassed state.

He didn't even have time to say anything before he hurried away with his wife and children.

Only a group of bewildered servants were left at home.

However, there is one exception, and that is Stone.

He keenly sensed that something was wrong. The lord had never looked so panicked and left in such a hurry. He must have encountered something extremely dangerous.

He weighed the issue in his mind for a long time.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and instigated his companion Mu Tou to break into the lord's study with him.

Shi Tou looted all the items in the study, then pulled Mu Tou out of the lord's mansion.

Shi Tou knew very well that as a mortal, he would not be able to run too far even if he escaped at this moment, so he took Mu Tou and hid in a jungle not far from the lord's mansion.

He stared at the lord's mansion with his eyes fixed, not daring to even blink, for fear that he would miss something if he blinked.

Then he saw a scene that shocked him.

Three monsters broke into the lord's mansion. They might be looking for the lord, but the lord had already escaped with his wife and children.

When the three monsters saw that Wan had arrived, they were so angry that they killed all the servants in the lord's house who had not yet reacted.

After the three monsters left, Shitou still held on to the wood tightly and stayed in the jungle for a few more days.

After making sure that the three monsters would not suddenly come back, and that the lord would not come back.

Stone then hurriedly left with the wood.

After leaving here, they did not dare to go back to their original village, because the lord had been driven away and the people in the village would probably become food for those monsters.

And even if the monster was merciful and didn't eat them, they wouldn't dare go back because they had broken into the lord's study and stolen his things.

This is a capital crime that is worth dying a hundred times!

So, under the leadership of Shitou, they ran into the mountains to hide from the wind.

They hid in the mountains for several years, and finally came out after Shitou practiced the magic stolen from the lord's study.

During these few years, Mu Tou proposed to practice magic several times, but was rejected by Shi Tou for various reasons.

The wood is not real wood, so he naturally knows the stone's selfishness and knows that the stone is unwilling to share with him.

But there was nothing he could do because Shi Tou was indeed stronger than him. And if Shi Tou hadn't taken him out of the lord's mansion, the grass on his grave would be one meter high now.

After Stone successfully practiced the magic that he stole from the lord's house, Wood completely became Stone's subordinate, or slave.

Although Stone became more confident after learning magic, he was still as cautious as ever, so he led Wood along the way without provoking any existence.

Until one day, they encountered a group of bandits who were robbing a master and servant.

That master and servant pair, both the master and the maid beside her were as beautiful as fairies.

Shitou had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. Even the wives and concubines of the former lord were like chickens in front of this woman.

The sharp-eyed Shitou could tell at a glance that both parties were mortals. Naturally, he was unwilling to miss this opportunity which had no risks but could allow him to stand out.

So, after he made a slight move, all the bandits were killed by him.

The hero saves the beauty, and the beauty throws herself into his arms.

The plot is old-fashioned, but it is the most fascinating.

But the plot went wrong with Stone.

Because not to mention the woman, even the maids around her were indifferent to the stone.

They asked Shitou to escort them to the capital, saying that there would be a generous reward, but they did not mention anything about marrying them, which made Shitou feel very frustrated.

However, out of caution, Shitou decided to escort them to the capital, because from their words and actions, he did not seem like an ordinary mortal, and Shitou did not dare to offend them.

But that's where the bad thing happens.

On the way to the capital, the fairy-like woman actually fell in love with Mu Tou!

How could Shi Tou tolerate this? Is it just because Mu Tou is tall, handsome, and has a dimple when he smiles?

vulgar!

Afterwards, Stone learned the woman's true identity from Wood.

That woman turned out to be the apple of the King of Chu’s eye!

Princess of Chu!

He was afraid that his brother would suffer, and he was also afraid that his brother would drive a Land Rover. With this feeling, Shitou couldn't sleep the whole night.

He was unwilling to accept that this person who had always been inferior to him suddenly climbed above him.

He was unwilling to accept that after all his hard work, he was not as good as Mu Tou, who had succeeded overnight by relying on his looks.

So, that night, Shitou was occupied by the unwillingness in his heart.

That night, the princess of Chu died!
