After one boy left, another boy came forward!

"Shi Tuo, I don't have any steamed buns. You've always wanted my Wooden Sword, so here you go. Take care of yourself down there. I'm off now!"

After the boy finished speaking, he reluctantly pulled out a small wooden sword from behind his back and placed it on Shi Tuo's chest!

Then he turned around, lowered his head, and walked towards the door.

Shi Ling'er bit her lip, unsure of what to do; the feeling of helplessness was making her very uncomfortable!

The village was so poor that many people considered eating three meals a day a luxury!

Shi Tuo's life was even harder; his parents died when he was very young!

Without his parents, his relatives and neighbors were unable to accept him!

So he was alone from a young age, and when he was hungry he would drink water, eat tree bark, wild grass, and anything else he could find!

Finally, after enduring hardship, the boy grew a bit older and was able to earn food by working for others.

Even if it's just one steamed bun!

But it's still much better than tree bark or anything like that!

Perhaps, death was a kind of relief for him.

The girl wiped her eyes. "Shi Tuo, farewell. Let's be friends again in our next life!"

"I don't want to be friends, I want you to be my wife!"

Suddenly, a weak voice rang out.

The girl was startled. She quickly looked up and found that the boy on the bed had opened his eyes and looked much better!

"You!"

The girl covered her mouth, looking at it in surprise.

The other two boys who had reached the door also stopped abruptly and turned around in shock!

"Hehe, Ling'er, did you cry for me just now?" Shi Tuo turned his head slightly and asked with an involuntary smile.

"I... no!" A blush rose to Shi Ling'er's face, but she quickly suppressed it and asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"

"I don't know, I just felt a sudden warm sensation inside my body, and then I didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore!" Shi Tuo shook his head, he didn't understand either!

"Shi Tuo, what you've done..."

The two boys ran back and looked at Shi Tuo in surprise!

"Hehe, you guys gave it to me, I can't take it back!"

Shi Tuo quickly moved the steamed bun and Wooden Sword from his chest and pressed them under his body, looking smug!

"Ah, no! You've already come back to life! These things are for the dead you, not the living you! Give me back the Wooden Sword right now!"

"And my steamed buns, I worked so hard to get them!"

The two boys panicked instantly and tried to pry Shi Tuo's body apart.

But before they even touched each other, they both fell backward and were pulled back by a pair of hands!

"Boom!"

They all fell to the ground in unison!

"Don't you dare move!"

Shi Ling'er withdrew her hand, her face extremely serious!

"Shi Tuo, are you really feeling alright? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

She was still somewhat worried.

"Hehe, Ling'er is concerned about me!" Shi Tuo instantly revealed a smitten smile.

Shi Ling'er: "..."

"I'm talking to you about serious business, so give me an answer now. And you two, go and call my father back!"

Shi Ling'er frowned and called out.

"Yes!"

The two boys dared not provoke the angry Shi Ling'er!

Although Shi Ling'er is usually very gentle and considerate, Shi Ling'er's angry, she can crush your skull!

"Ling'er, I'm really alright now! I feel like I've regained a lot of my strength, look!"

After Shi Tuo finished speaking, he sat up and raised his arms to show that he hadn't done anything wrong!

"This..."

Shi Ling'er looked at Shi Tuo, her eyes filled with disbelief.

You should know that Shi Tuo didn't even have the strength to speak just now, and he had even fainted.

How did he get better in the blink of an eye?

"Ling'er, do I look like something's wrong?"

Shi Tuo looked at Shi Ling'er, grinning to reveal a set of big white teeth.

"Really, you're really alright?"

Shi Ling'er looked at Shi Tuo, still somewhat incredulous.

"Hehe, just kidding, how could I be okay? I feel like I'm about to die!"

Suddenly, Shi Tuo's demeanor changed; his face turned deathly pale, and he collapsed again, closing his eyes and weakly saying...

"Oh, how could that be?"

Shi Ling'er panicked for a moment, but the next second, she chopped Shi Tuo on the head!

"That's enough, stop pretending. I saw you secretly open your eyes!"

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Shi Tuo immediately covered his head.

"Ling'er, you can't attack an injured person!"

"Who told you to lie to me!"

Shi Ling'er believed that Shi Tuo was alright, and that he was even joking around!

"I was just teasing you. But don't worry, Ling'er, no matter how much you hit me, I'll still marry you!" Shi Tuo chuckled, then asked, "But I feel warm inside right now, it's so comfortable. Ling'er, what did you give me to eat?"

"No, we haven't given you anything to eat since you were bitten. You've healed on your own!" Shi Ling'er shook her head; this was what she found strange!

Shi Tuo's behavior just now clearly indicated poisoning, but why did he suddenly recover?

"Shi Tuo, you... you're alright?"

At this moment, Shi Tiesheng rushed back, looking at Shi Tuo with a face full of surprise!

"Village Chief, I feel much better! I feel full of energy now!" Shi Tuo nodded, got out of bed, and stretched his arms and legs for Shi Tiesheng to see!

"This... how is this possible?"

Shi Tiesheng was also incredulous, knowing that Shi Tuo had been bitten by Five-Step Snake!

That can kill people!

"Village chief, I'm really fine, and I feel much better than before!" Shi Tuo continued with a smile.

"This..."

Shi Tiesheng looked at Shi Tuo, speechless for a long time.

He had already prepared to make arrangements for Shi Tuo's funeral, after all, being bitten by a poisonous snake is no small matter!

Then everyone was amazed to see that Shi Tuo's bite wounds had all healed!

"This... this is simply a miracle!"

Shi Tiesheng didn't know what to say, but it was good that the person was saved!

Now!

In another village.

A middle-aged man, exuding a terrifying aura and dressed in extravagantly luxurious clothes, adorned with gold and jade, was looking at the food in front of him with disgust!

"Is this all you've prepared for me? Just one chicken?"

The village chief, standing to the side with his back hunched and face full of apology, said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, this is the only chicken left in our village. Please forgive us. I will send someone to go up the mountain to hunt wild animals right away!"

"Fine, I won't be staying long anyway, let's get started!" Zhang Ling reached out and pulled out a chicken leg, took a bite, and then looked at the two rows of boys and girls in front of him, chewing as he spoke.

"These are talent Spirit Stone. If you have the talent for cultivation, they will light up. Then come with me, and you'll have endless chicken legs to eat from now on!"

"And as long as your village has even one talented person, your village will never have to worry about food and clothing again!"

The boys and girls swallowed hard as they looked at the chicken leg in Zhang Ling's hand, and then their eyes lit up with longing and anticipation!
