    Chapter 162 The Roar of the Dragon

    Shang Nan followed a girl with long braids, one foot deep and one foot shallow. The girl was taller than him and was wearing a white dress. The skirt was very old and had several patches on it.

    He looked down at himself and saw that he was not much better. The knees of his pants were even torn. He probably didn't have time to patch them.

    The girl's name is Shangqiu, and in the memory obtained by Shannan, she has the same name as his sister in the original world. In this world, Shangqiu is also his sister, five years older than him and a full head taller than him.

    Both of them are as skinny as a stick.

    There are rows of houses on both sides of the muddy road. The houses are built in pitch black, and the sky is also pitch black. It makes people feel depressed for no reason.

    There were a few crows parked on the telephone poles, and from time to time they would make a shrill, hoarse cry.

    "Ouch——" A shrill wail came from behind. It seemed to come from a very far away place, but it directly pierced the silent air. A few crows flew away with their wings fluttering above their heads.

    Shannan's scalp was numb and he glanced behind him. He didn't know what kind of world this was.

    It's supposed to be modern, but it must have been very poor.

    "Don't look," the girl walked in front and looked back at Shannan. Looking at her brother's big dull eyes, she thought for a moment and stuffed a piece of biscuit in the basket into his mouth, "Eat, eat.If you don’t, stop reading.”

    Afraid that Shangqiu would go further and further away, Shangnan chased her with biscuits. He estimated that he was only in his teens now and had to work very hard to keep up with Shangqiu. "Sister, what was that screaming just now?"

    "Long, are you stupid for asking this?" Shangqiu said in disgust, walking faster and faster, "Hurry up, hurry up, you will be beaten if you come back late."

    Shan Nan was stunned, why does this world still need to be beaten?

    He trotted behind Shangqiu, and memories of this world gradually emerged in his mind.

    It was a bit different from what he had guessed. The town was not poor, it was just that his family was poor. There were thousands of residents in the town. They usually made a living from animal husbandry. The only entertainment activity was the town market held every half month.In a wrestling match, the person who ranks first can get gold as a reward - there are many rich people in the town who like to watch wrestling matches and are willing to spend a lot of money as rewards to encourage everyone to participate.

    But many people are not good at wrestling and do not have that much strength.

    So they heard that the blood of the black dragon can make people as strong as cattle, and the meat of the black dragon can cure all kinds of diseases. Now, many townspeople keep black dragons in their homes, and they will kill them when necessary.

    Can a dragon be raised and slaughtered?

    Shang Nan couldn't control the surprised expression on his face. He had too many things on his mind and didn't pay attention to his steps. He tripped and fell directly into a large mud pond.

    [14:……]

    The mud in his mouth had a fishy smell. Shangnan used his hands and feet to get up, but it seemed that it didn't require any effort. Shangqiu dragged him out of the muddy pond with one hand and gave him a hug from nowhere.Hayate rubbed his clothes frantically, "Are you looking for death? Dad is in a bad mood today and he drank too much. If you go back like this, he will definitely beat you up!"

    "You should rub it yourself, you're so stupid." Shangqiu's face was full of impatience and disgust, but Shangnan was trembling when he heard her voice.

    Although it was dark, Shannan still saw a large fresh bruise on Shangqiu's face. He remained silent, holding a handful of hay and imitating Shangqiu and wiping the mud on his clothes vigorously.

    During the wiping process, Shangqiu looked up at the sky, then tore the hay out of Shangnan's hand in two strokes, and pulled him, "Let's go, let's go."

    The two siblings went out to buy drinks for their father. They lived in a small three-story house on a hillside far away from the center of the town. There were neighbors all around. The lights were on at this time, and they were all here.Time to finish eating.

    Climbing a hill is a physically demanding task, and Shang Nan was out of breath as he climbed. The road had not been repaired, and was full of potholes and bumps. Occasionally, groups of wild dogs would pass by on the road, salivating over the basket in Shang Qiu's hand. The greenThe eyes flickered in the dark air, which was particularly penetrating.

    Shangqiu grabbed Shangnan and said, "You idiot, hurry up and leave."

    Shannan was almost dragged away by her, and he didn't want to hold him back, but he was tired and hungry, and his whole body seemed to be in a very weak state, as if his legs were filled with lead.

    [14: You barely have enough to eat, and you get beaten from time to time, so of course you are weak.]

    Finally arriving home, Shangqiu took Shangnan to the edge of the pool and quickly washed her hands and face. She also changed out of her muddy shoes and put on a pair of equally tattered slippers.

    He followed Shangqiu and walked in through the small door on the side of the main door.

    The lights in the room are still yellow light bulbs with filaments hanging on them. The light makes everything in the room look old and dilapidated. There are many newspapers taped to the walls. There is a three-seater sofa against the wall with a deep seat on it.There are colorful floral blankets, and the rest of the places where you can sit are wooden benches and chairs.

    This should be the living room at home, and there are several large cabinets. There are a lot of things in the cabinets, including plastic bags, countless wine bottles, and dry goods that already have some flavor.

    The cabinets seemed to have seen some age, and a lot of paint had peeled off, making it difficult to see their original color.

    The sound of lazy and decadent walking came from the right side, and the slippers under the feet made "ta-", "ta-", "ta-", one after another, getting closer and closer.

    "Snapped!"

    The tall, muscular middle-aged man slapped Shang Nan on the back of the head. The boy was so thin that he almost fell forward after being hit.

    "What the hell are you using as a pillar? Go help your sister cook. Hurry up. I'll give you half an hour. If I haven't eaten in half an hour, you two will sleep in the attic tonight!"

    He smelled of alcohol. After he finished speaking, he walked slowly to the sofa and sat down like a giant lion. He sat half of the sofa by himself. His black curly hair reached his shoulders and was as messy as a big haystack. The red colorHis nose was red, and his eyes were red from drinking too much, but they were squeezed so thin by his swollen cheeks that only two slits remained.

    Shang Nan was dizzy when he found Shang Qiu who was busy in the kitchen. Their home was still burning natural gas, not firewood. This made Shang Nan feel a little more relaxed, because at least he didn't have to go up the mountain to chop firewood.

    Shangqiu saw him coming in, wiped his hands twice, and held his face, "Are you okay? What are you doing outside? I haven't told you to stay away from him. If you go to him, you're not looking for a fight.?"

    After she finished speaking, she looked outside the kitchen, walked to the cutting board, picked through it, picked up a piece of meat, and fed it to Shannan's mouth, "Is it delicious?"

    It's braised pork, but I don't know which part it is. It's oily and fragrant, and the skin is elastic. In an instant, Shangnan's mouth water begins to secrete even more.

    Shangqiu patted Shangnan's face, "I hid a little and put it under your bowl later."

    Shannan nodded quickly, "What about you?"

    "I must have some too, and they are more than yours." Shangqiu hummed twice and said.

    The person who cooks at home has always been Shang Qiu. Their grandmother fell ill and passed away two years ago. The family has no money for medicine. Their father relies on wrestling bonuses twice a month to support the family.

    It was like this before grandma died, and it will still be like this after grandma died.

    Now only Shangnan Shangqiu and their father are left in the family. The men sleep and drink almost every day at home, or go out to practice wrestling with a few brothers, or at most go to the blacksmith shop to do odd jobs for two days.Returning to Shangnan and Shangqiu, they have never gone to school, not even a day.

    And Shangqiu was taken care of by their mother for several years. Because she was a girl, her father would be more gentle and gentle. She developed better than Shangnan. Before Shangnan could walk, her mother was gone.There is no milk powder for breast milk. When my father is in a good mood, he will buy some cheap milk powder for his son. When he is in a bad mood, he will grab the two siblings and beat them up.

    Shang Nan was so hungry that he cried every day and had nothing to eat. Shang Qiu would work as a small worker by picking up garbage and buy milk powder for Shang Nan to drink. When they were older, the two of them would work together by picking up trash.

    But perhaps because of too much hardship, the thirteen-year-old Shangnan still looks like he is less than ten years old, and the eighteen-year-old Shangqiu looks like he is no more than fifteen years old at most.

    Shang Nan helped Shang Qiu. Shang Qiu was quick and quick. She quickly made a pot of rice and fried a few vegetables. After it was done, she added half a pot of water to the pot and poured a basket of waste vegetable leaves into it.into the pot and added two bowls of cornmeal.

    Shang Nan stood watching and saw Shang Qiu bending down and taking out a handful of offal that exuded a strong fishy smell from a white plastic bucket. It was offal, but he didn't know exactly what it was. It was a bloody bunch.

    "After dinner, I'll wash the dishes, and you go feed Xiaohei and them." Shangqiu put the food in the pot to boil and wiped the stove. Her narrow eyes were very intimidating, "Don't be like the ones above.Just reach out and touch it again, it is a wild beast after all, be careful to bite your hand off."

    "I know." Shannan shrank his shoulders and carried a few dishes to the living room to eat.

    He looked at the man who was sleeping soundly holding the TV remote control and shouted, "Abba, it's time to eat."

    Initially, Shannan was worried that he would not be able to wake up and would be beaten if he woke up. Unexpectedly, he only woke up once and was probably not asleep at all. He was just waiting for the meal.

    His fat body slowly moved to the front of the dining table, and he held the entire plate of braised pork in front of him.

    After Shang Nan and Shang Qiu sat down, neither of them stretched out their chopsticks towards the only meat dish on the plate.

    Shang Nan was very hungry. He picked up a few vegetables with chopsticks and found them delicious. He pawed the rice hard in his mouth. When his chopsticks poked a hard object, he knew it was the meat Shang Qiu had hidden for him.

    He secretly glanced at Shangqiu, and the two siblings smiled at each other.

    Shang Xidong drank a lot of wine and threw large pieces of meat into his mouth. He didn't pay attention to the little actions of the siblings in private. He just cared about eating and drinking.

    After dinner, Shangqiu was washing dishes by the sink. Shangnan took a large stainless steel ladle and put it into the pot of dark, sticky paste with no visible ingredients.

    He frowned and put the pot of contents into a plastic bucket. Shang Qiu asked him to pour some cold water in to cool down, which he did.

    After working hard for a long time, he struggled to carry a bucket of food that looked more unpalatable than pig food and staggered along the route he remembered.

    The stairs to the attic are made of pure wood. They are old and make a creaking sound when stepped on. The corridor is so narrow that even one more person cannot miss it.

    He now wants to go up to the third floor and feed Xiaohei and the others.

    Xiaohei and the others are three-headed dragons.

    [14: Task object.]

    Shannan's arms were sore and swollen, "All three?"

    [14: Only one is.]

    While he was talking, Shan Nan had already arrived at the place where they were raised. The ones who raised pigs were called pig pens, and the ones who raised dragons were called... called dragon pens?

    He turned on the light switch on the wall. The light bulb in the attic had a higher wattage than usual.

    Blinking hard, I finally adjusted to the brightness in front of me.

    In front of him is an iron fence that spans the entire room, completely separating the people outside from the things captive inside. The iron fence is also directly embedded in the floor of the third floor, and the dragons are completely blocked inside.

    Near the cage, there was a large table covered with bottles and cans. There were a lot of messy things under the table. The only thing Shannan recognized was the whole box of large syringes.

    These syringes should be used to draw blood.

    The sound of chains dragging on the floor came to my ears, scattered and rustling, not very loud, but every sound scratched Shan Nan's eardrums.

    There are no lights in the cage, and a large black curtain is hung, probably to allow them to sleep well.

    The curtain was arched open.

    Out.

    It was not as big as Shan Nan expected, but he imagined it to be as big as this floor, and the dragon in front of him was only slightly larger than Shan Xidong. Its wings dragged on the ground, and it moved extremely laboriously and clumsily.Shang Nan took a closer look and discovered that its wings were tied up. The wires were almost cutting into its flesh, binding its wings into deformities.

    A chain thicker than Shannan's wrist was locked around its neck and the ankles of its two paws. The chain was stretched very long and finally nailed to the wall.

    Its tail is very long, its body has already reached in front of Shannan, but its tail is still far away from Shannan.

    "Roar..." The dragon lay down. It had a rugged head, two rows of sharp teeth, blood-red eyes, and a slender neck covered with hard black scales. It didn't look energetic and had no offensive power., lying on the ground, stretched out his long tongue, and licked the floor.

    "You can eat soon." Shang Nan put down the bucket and ran to the wall to get the key. The cage could only open a small door, just enough to pour the food in.

    As soon as the cage was opened, the little one named Xiaoxue stood up immediately. It was at least twice as tall as Shannan. Its thin figure cast a long shadow, covering Shannan.

    It moved to the trough, bent its neck, and rolled the stale food into its mouth one bite at a time.

    not enough.

    not enough.

    There is simply not enough food for them to eat.

    This bucket would probably be difficult to feed even one dragon, let alone three.

    Perhaps Shang Xidong just wanted them to stay alive so that they could have a steady supply of blood, so as long as they didn't die, that would be fine. He even beat and scolded his sons and daughters, so how could he raise a few beasts with good food and drink?

    But what about the other two?Not a shadow was seen.

    Seeing that Xiaoxue had already eaten half of it, Shang Nan poured another scoop into it, but it stopped eating. Instead, it growled low and slapped its tail twice on the floor.

    Shannan squatted outside the cage, tilting his body, trying to see inside the curtain. There was a rather large dragon coiled inside. It had its head on its tail and drooped its eyelids.

    Shang Nan found that it had two small horns on its head, but Xiao Xue didn't have any. It was just Xiao Hei.

    Xiaoxue roared again, louder than last time.

    At this time, Shang Nan saw something slowly moving behind the curtain.

    It raised its head, its eyes were lazy, and its movements to get up were also very lazy.

    Xiaohei is much bigger than Xiaoxue, more than twice as big, but it also has more injuries than Xiaoxue.

    It is bigger than Xiaoxue, and its claws, neck, and tail are thicker than Xiaoxue, and it looks more powerful. However, there are too many wounds on its body. Some of the deep wounds have cracked and oozed yellow pus.liquid, the gray scales have lost their original luster.

    Only one pair of eyes still retains its original vitality. It is a transparent blood-red color, as cold as crystal. It is not the eyes that ordinary wild animals have at all.

    Its eyes were not as docile as Xiaoxue's. As soon as its red eyes fell on Shang Nan, Shang Nan felt the bloody aura coming towards him.

    Shan Nan had no doubt that once he fell into its hands, it would tear him in half.

    "This one named Xiao Hei wants to kill me. It shouldn't be the target of the mission, right?" Shang Nan swallowed and found that his whole body was frozen with fear.

    [14: That’s it.]
