that's all.

one day.

Two days.

Three days.

On the fourth day, the two middle-aged men never came again. From beginning to end, Zhou Yan didn't even know their names or who this flower garden belonged to.

do not know anything.

Nothing is clear.

The current situation is just like the situation he has been in for the past eight years, a complete darkness!

…

This day.

Noon.

It was July, and the sun was shining brightly.

Zhou Yan and his second brother had been busy all morning and were exhausted, panting and sweating profusely. They ate something for lunch and took a short rest in the house.

Zhou Yan closed his eyes and fell asleep. He couldn't fall asleep for a while, but all the memories of his past and present lives came to his mind.

It's amazing to say.

Since he was hit by a car while traveling in his previous life, Zhou Yan appeared in this strange world as soon as he closed his eyes and opened them.

time travel.

Rebirth.

From the moment they are born, they grow up slowly.

feudal.

Prince.

Musha.

Grandmaster.

Zhou Yan gradually understood that in this life there were martial arts circles, martial arts circles, and genuine martial arts masters.

For any person who has traveled through the earth, at least for those from our country, when they come to such a world, all they want to do is practice martial arts.

Flying over the walls!

Break open the monument and crack the stone!

Even moving mountains and reclaiming seas!

Who can not yearn for it?

Zhou Yan is no exception.

But to this day, not only has he failed to practice martial arts, he has become blind and a slave.

…

More than ten years ago.

Dashu Shengyuan seven years.

The first year of Zhongxing in Nanjing.

Zhou Yan was born in a family with no worries about food and clothing in Haozhou, north of Dashu. His father, Chen Shanhe, was once a small canal general in the Northern Xinjiang Uprising Army of the original Jing Kingdom. He had no more than a hundred men under his command. At first, he even went around like bandits.

Robbery. Zhou Yan's mother was originally a young lady from an official family. It was during this period that her father forcibly kidnapped her and took her back to continue her marriage, giving birth to Zhou Yan and his five brothers.

Later, when Li Zhigao, the founding emperor of Dashu who was still a powerful official of Jing State, led troops to suppress the rebellion, his father followed most of the rebels and joined Li Zhigao's command.

After the Great Shu established the country, Zhou Yan's father was considered to have achieved the merit of following the dragon. However, because he was not a direct descendant of Li Zhigao, his performance was mediocre, so he only got a position as the head of the battalion. Although his official rank was ninth, he was only in the army.

There are still only a hundred people under his command.

By the time Zhou Yan was born, it had been seven years since Dashu Dingguo was established, and Chen Shanhe had been promoted two levels and became an eighth-grade captain.

Zhou's father felt frustrated and had a bad temper.

He didn't dare to mess around in the army, but he was very tight at home. Because he was vulgar, he couldn't stand the second wife whom he had kidnapped and was very well-educated, and he often scolded and even beat her.

After Zhou Yan was born, he was young but could see clearly and was very disgusted with this arrogant me.

He has zero tolerance for domestic violence.

But at that time, he was still young, soft-spoken, and his father was overbearing. Zhou Yan tried to persuade him several times but was unable to change him.

So wait.

When Zhou Yan was eight years old in the sixth year of Jianzhong in Dashu, his body gradually became stronger. He secretly communicated with his eldest brother, second brother, third brother and mother, taking advantage of his father's absence in the camp and being unable to return home, to pack up his belongings and bring his family with him.

He took Lao Wu, who was only two years old, and flew away.

Domestic violence man, he will not serve you!

When you get out of the cage, the sea and sky are vast.

The six mother and son went through hardships all the way from north to south. In a few months, they ran from Haozhou in the north of Dashu to Hezhou in the south, preparing to settle in Mengshan County.

The brothers even thought about their names when they settled down. They no longer had the surname "Chen" but changed their mother's surname to Zhou.

The eldest brother ‘Chen Yongwen’ is called ‘Zhou Kang’. He hopes that both his mother and younger brother will be healthy.

The second brother ‘Chen Anliang’ was changed to ‘Zhou Xian’. He hoped that one day he would become prominent and prosperous and be able to return to his hometown in glory.

The third brother ‘Chen Shenggong’ was changed to ‘Zhou Meng’. He was the most casual and took the word ‘Meng’ from ‘Mengshan County’.

Zhou Yan changed "Chen Yuanjian" to his name in his previous life and called him "Zhou Yan".

He also named his two-year-old brother ‘Chen Jianrang’ ‘Zhou Youfu’.

As Mengshan County approaches, and as several brothers change their names, it seems that Zhou Yan and others will also have a new life.

But God did not fulfill people's wishes.

While they were fleeing from north to south, the court made a big move.

The imperial court issued an order to disband all the gangs and gangs that had gathered to control people's livelihood in Dashu's territory. It also ordered all martial arts sects in the martial arts world to report to the government and accept government supervision.

For a time, there were riots in the rivers and lakes, and great chaos broke out.

When Zhou Yan and the others arrived in Mengshan County, they were catching up with the government's suppression of the Shahe Gang, which dominated Shahe. The Shahe Gang was defeated and fled, along with hundreds of gangs and sects in Dashu who were unwilling to disband and be under supervision.

, marched southward to Jingguo in a mighty way.

Not only did they go down by themselves, they also took the people of Dashu under their control.

When Zhou Yan and others first arrived in Mengshan County, they thought they were about to usher in a new and beautiful life, but who knew that they would just encounter it, and they were also trapped.

Zhou Yan and his three brothers were unfortunately captured by the Shahe Gang in order to protect their mother and younger brother. After his mother was safe, Zhou Yan deliberately resisted and wanted to use lime to deal with the enemy so that he and his three brothers could escape.

However, the enemy on the opposite side was shocked with energy and blood, and punched out with a punch that was as windy as iron, and rolled the lime back.

Zhou Yan failed to become the 'Lime Martial Saint'.

Instead, he was blinded by the lime, and he might be able to become a "blind martial saint" in the future.

So of course I couldn't escape.

So their brothers were kidnapped by the Shahe Gang and brought to Jingguo in southern Xinjiang.

That year.

Zhou Yan is eight years old.

The third brother is thirteen years old.

The eldest brother, the second brother is fourteen years old.

The four brothers were trapped in a foreign country and began a miserable eight years.

Build bridges and roads.

Build rivers and dig canals.

Reclamation and cultivation.

Serve and build the city.

…

In the past eight years, there has never been an easy day.

Until the beginning of this year, Zhou Yan was ready to give it a try. He asked his eldest brother Zhou Kang to present "movable type printing technology" and "improved papermaking technology" to Zhao Liang, the magistrate of Lechang County, Nanjing Prefecture.

This endeavor really paid off.

The magistrate of Lechang County was overjoyed with the technology. Afterwards, his eldest brother received a reward and was taken under the command of "Zhao Liang".

In the next few months, the eldest brother Zhou Kang and the third brother Zhou Meng followed Zhao Liang, borrowed county annals, and searched for a rough topographic map of Nanjing through various channels. Zhou Yan and the second brother Zhou Xian also joined Zhao Liang's staff and were responsible for some technical issues.
