I Borrowed a Brain from the Almighty

Chen Yuanzhi lay on the bed unable to sleep.

He didn't know what to choose. If he escaped with his father and uncle, he would definitely find a way to survive. With the personalities of the two elders, even if they go to other places, they will definitely be able to quickly establish themselves, allowing him to live without worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

only

How could you just leave like that?

Lying on the bed, Chen Yuan stared at the beams on the roof with his eyes open. The faces of his brothers flashed in his mind, and he remembered the old friend who laughed at them on the street for their ignorance, and the man who stepped on him and scolded him angrily. 'Why don't you go fight the Huns' skinny monkey.

"If I leave, what will my brothers think of me?!"

Chaos came faster than expected. Before the "bandit-suppression team" organized by Magistrate Tan left the city, some subordinates saw Hun scouts wandering outside. After hearing the news, Magistrate Tan said nothing and took his subordinates to abandon the city before dawn.

He is an official of the Holy Dynasty, and there are experts sent from the same year to guide him. There is a high chance that he can escape and ascend to heaven.

The original plan to bring more people with me was out of control now. When it came to life and death, my own life came first.

It's bright.

By the time everyone had formed a 'bandit-suppression team', the leading troops of the Huns had already arrived.

"We can't get out! There are Huns cavalry everywhere outside. If you leave the city now, you will die."

Several family owners ran to the county government office together. When they arrived, they discovered that Magistrate Tan had already run away. Everyone who learned this result was so angry that they cursed.

"Don't panic, the frontal defense line has not been defeated yet, only a small number of cavalry spies came over."

Chen Luo stopped everyone's panic and began to give orders.

'Son' Chen Yuanzhi, who was originally faced with a difficult decision, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this result. Under his father's arrangement, he took over the position of county captain and led his brothers to defend the city and investigate the spies who had sneaked into the city.

Busy till late at night every day.

Under his severe interrogation, he actually caught several Huns spies. The brothers brought the Hun spies to Caishikou tied up and killed him with a knife while the other party was cursing.

The ground was stained with blood, and Chen Yuanzhi only felt that this was a man.

Ten days later.

Chen Yuanzhi took the Xiangyong in the city out of the city for inspection and ran into a group of Huns cavalry. Head-to-head confrontation is different from catching spies before. After a fight, the Xiongnu team of only ten people actually killed more than twenty of their country warriors and seriously injured more than a dozen. Looking at his brothers who drank with him yesterday, Chen Yuanzhi, who was holding the knife, kept trembling, feeling in his heart An unprecedented emotion arose.

Are these the Huns?

Completely different from the rogue before!

"Brother, Laizi Donkey is dead." Wang Dacai was also trembling. He saw a brother lying in a pool of blood. This man had drank wine with him last night.

Now the man is lying in a pool of blood, with the lower half of his body gone, his eyes wide open as he lies in the bloody mud, and the fear of death still remains on his face.

“Aren’t these Huns afraid of death?”

The brothers used to fight in the countryside and bully scoundrels. When had they ever faced such ferocious Huns? That kind of fearless look in his eyes was like that of a lone wolf, and he was still trembling in his heart.

‘Can this kind of enemy really be stopped? ’

‘Or, run. ’

Chen Yuanzhi, who was holding a knife, ordered Wang Dacai and others to carry the injured brother back to the city. Hearing the "wailing" sound of the brothers on his back, his desire to survive became more and more determined.

'I have a father and mother to protect, and a little sister.'

He kept making excuses for himself.

night.

Chen's study room.

The Chen family father and son once again discussed the future of the family. This time, Chen Luo was mostly talking. 'Son' Chen Yuanzhi was not as excited as before. He just listened quietly.

".Our rescuer will arrive in three days. Your uncle spent a lot of money to save you."

Magistrate Tan finally chose to save the people. After escaping, the trustee sent them letters and clearly informed them of the opportunity to leave. As long as they catch this time, the Chen family can escape and ascend to heaven, and the family can go to the south to live a rich life together.

"Do you have any opinion?"

Chen Luo looked at this 'son' and asked the same question as before.

Chen Yuan stood straight on the spot, recalling in his mind all the tragic scenes he saw during the day. After a long time, he uttered one word.

"good."

He is not a hero after all.

He is afraid of death.

He wants to live.

With the relationship between his family and his uncle, he will definitely be able to escape and ascend to heaven. With these thoughts, the heavy burden in Chen Yuanzhi's heart seemed to be abandoned all at once, and his whole person became much lighter. In Chen Luo's eyes, the calamity aura on Chen Yuanzhi suddenly became much heavier. The thread-like aura was extracted by the Heart Demon Art and integrated into his body, further improving his Xudan.

"Going the wrong way?"

A trace of regret flashed in Chen Luo's eyes.

He originally thought that this 'son' could stick to his heart, but he didn't expect that in the face of life and death, he finally gave up on his persistence. From the moment he made his choice, the calamity aura naturally intensified. If he had a body outside of him, his body would be corroded by the calamity aura and his cultivation would decline. If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely get sick.

Dawn.

Chen Yuanzhi was riding a big horse on the street. Thinking that he would be able to escape to heaven in three days and no longer have to face the brutal Huns, he felt much better and felt much better while riding the horse.

The city is depressed.

Several people were riding horses on the street. In addition to the former civilians of Bishui County, there were also many refugees who had fled from other counties.

These refugees were dressed in rags and had fear in their eyes.

These people are the common people who Chen Yuanzhi and his brothers rescued from the Huns when they went out of the city a few days ago. At that time, he only felt that he was very majestic and did not care about the thoughts of these refugees. Now when he saw these refugees again, he felt a little guilty for some reason.

He will abandon the city and run away in three days, together with the heads of the wealthy families.

"General, please take a bite."

A voice sounded, and Chen Yuanzhi stopped his horse and saw an old woman holding a wobou and said in a trembling voice. The other person's eyes were full of gratitude, and the look he looked at was full of hope.

There is a shortage of supplies in the city. In order to fight against the Huns, food has been controlled. These victims only eat one meal a day.

The steamed bun in her hand was her daily ration.

"Only when you are full can you have the strength to fight."

"Brother."

Wang Dacai and several brothers also stopped. Chen Yuanzhi looked at the old woman and remembered the previous fight. He remembered this old woman whom he had saved from the Huns' sword. Saved by my own hands!

"Mom, you can eat it yourself. And..."

Chen Yuanzhi got off his horse and pushed Wo Wo Tou back.

The other party's hopeful gaze was like a sharp knife, piercing him a little uncomfortable.

He himself didn't know why.

"I'm not a general, just a country warrior."

"Old woman, it's useless. You won't die of hunger if you skip one meal. General, you have to go into battle to kill thieves. Eat more to gain strength. My whole family was killed by the Huns. It was the general who avenged me," the old woman babbled. As he spoke, Chen Yuanzhi squeezed the cold dough head, suddenly feeling very useless.

No one can save it.

Unlike the victims, he had eaten in the morning and had a meal of meat porridge.

All he could think about was how to run away and live a good life in the south. But these victims regarded him as hope!

After bidding farewell to the old woman, Chen Yuanzhi got on his horse. At this moment, not only him, but everyone around him was silent. No one spoke. They were no longer as high-profile as before. They just rode across the street and completed their daily patrol tasks.

"Brother, have we become heroes?"

A young man who had followed Chen Yuanzhi for many years couldn't help but ask. He never thought that one day he would be praised by his fellow villagers and become a hero among others.

"You are, I am not."

Chen Yuanzhi remained silent. These people are different from him. Many of them are from ordinary families, and they only follow him out of "loyalty". Many of them don't even know why they are fighting with the Huns. They only know that their eldest brother is in trouble, so they also They followed and got on side by side.

"Without big brother, where would we be?"

"right."

A group of people shouted habitually, they had been doing this for so many years.

"General, take care!"

Another voice sounded on the street, and Chen Yuanzhi looked back, and he saw an acquaintance from the past. The uncle who told him not to harm the people had scolded them when they were fighting in the street.

"General, it's getting cold, wear more clothes."

"General."

After walking all the way and returning to the gate of the county government office, Chen Yuanzhi held on to the reins and looked at the red-hot clouds in the distance with a fire in his heart.

Can you really escape?

If I escape, what will they do?

Three days flew by.

Chen Luo took the Chen family and left with the big families in the city.

The excuse is to go out of the city to suppress bandits. Whether the people believe it or not is not that important anymore. In these troubled times, they are just idlers on the roadside, and no one will take a second look. It is impossible for the hungry victims to pose a threat to them before they form a force.

"Dad, my mother and my little sister will leave it to you."

Chen Yuanzhi rode his big horse and stopped at the gate of the city. Also stopping with him were his group of brothers.

A group of gangsters who grew up fighting each other.

"I want to stay."

He took out the handwritten letter given to him by Magistrate Tan, which contained the arrangements after going south. It was the family who had spent money to arrange a way out for him. He took out the documents and handed them to Chen Luo.

"What are you confused about? What effect will you have if you stay?" The eldest lady's face changed drastically, and she subconsciously wanted to hold her son back, but failed.

“If you want to do it, just do it.”

Chen Luo stopped the eldest lady, reached out to take the document, and looked at the 'son' riding the horse, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. The calamity aura on the opponent's body began to decrease, and a new aura began to emerge.

It turns out that there is more than one choice in life. As long as you can find your true heart, it is never too late.

The Huns came faster than expected.

Five days later.

The second line of defense was officially defeated.

A large number of Huns went south, and a small group of them took a detour to Bishui County. They heard the sound of horse hooves before they got close.

The deafening sound seemed to collapse the city walls.

A charge.

Xiangyong from Bishui County was beaten to the point where he lost his armor. Some were crying and some were fleeing. Chen Yuanzhi and his brothers formed a battle formation and climbed to the top of the city. He knew that the Huns were not good at attacking the city. If he wanted to save the people in the city, he must make good use of the city wall. (End of chapter)
