Chapter 485 Who sent you?
Chapter 485 Who sent you?
The man still did not answer, but suddenly attacked Chu Tian.
Chu Tian was prepared and dodged quickly.
The two men then engaged in a fierce fight.
The man was agile and his moves were deadly. Although Chu Tian was very powerful, it was difficult for him to exert his full strength in this environment.
The two of them went back and forth, fighting inextricably.
The rain was getting heavier, the thunder was roaring, and lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating the forest in flickering light.
During one confrontation, Chu Tian seized the opportunity and punched the man in the chest.
The man groaned and took a few steps back.
Chu Tian took advantage of the victory and launched another attack.
The man seemed injured and his movements became slow.
Chu Tian seized the opportunity and kicked the man to the ground.
He walked towards the man step by step, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"Tell me, who sent you here?" Chu Tian asked sternly.
The man struggled to stand up, but ultimately failed.
He raised his head and looked at Chu Tian, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
"You... just kill me..." the man said weakly.
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the man to say such a thing.
"Why?" Chu Tian asked.
The man laughed bitterly and said, "I... am already a dead man..."
Chu Tian frowned, not understanding what the man meant.
"The source of life... is a curse..." the man said intermittently, "It will... devour your life..."
Chu Tian was shocked. Could this be what Luo Shen said before she died?
"Tell me, what is the source of life?" Chu Tian asked.
The man shook his head and said, "I...can't tell you...if I tell you...you'll die..."
Chu Tian was filled with doubts and uneasiness. He felt like he had fallen into a huge maze, full of mysteries, and he couldn't find the exit.
Suddenly, the man raised his head and a crazy look flashed in his eyes.
"Remember... don't trust anyone..." The man died after saying this.
Chu Tian was stunned. He looked at the man lying on the ground, his heart filled with shock and confusion.
Don't trust anyone? What does this mean?
He suddenly felt that he was involved in a bigger conspiracy, but he knew nothing about it...
Just then, footsteps were heard in the distance, accompanied by noisy voices.
somebody is coming!
Chu Tian was shocked and quickly hid behind a big tree to observe the situation.
I saw a group of people holding torches walking towards me from a distance.
They were wearing the same black uniform and looked well-trained.
The leader was a burly man with a long sword in his hand, sharp eyes, and a murderous aura emanating from his body.
"Search! You must find him!" the man shouted.
Chu Tian's heart sank, he knew that these people were coming for him.
The autumn sun lazily sprinkled in the courtyard, and the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus and a faint smell of meat. This fragrance came from Chu Tian's house, making everyone in the courtyard feel itchy.
Chu Tian has recently become obsessed with cooking, and whenever he has free time, he goes into the kitchen to tinker with it. The braised pork he makes is fatty but not greasy, and melts in your mouth; the steamed fish is fresh, tender and smooth, with a hint of ginger fragrance; even a simple bowl of egg fried rice, he can make it look distinct and golden.
Today, Chu Tian stewed a pot of delicious chicken soup. The aroma of chicken mixed with the flavors of various spices filled the yard, making people drool.
"Gurgle..." An old lady was sitting at the door of her house, sewing clothes, but her stomach started to growl. She looked up in the direction of Chu Tian's house and took a deep breath. The fragrance made her feel like she couldn't hold the needle steady.
The second uncle sat on a stone bench, holding a newspaper in his hand, but he couldn't read a single word. From time to time, he looked up and sniffed the fragrance in the air, muttering: "This kid, he made such delicious dishes, but he didn't even say to share some with the neighbors to taste."
The third uncle was full of envy and jealousy. His family lived a tight life and usually couldn't even afford to buy meat. When he smelled the fragrance, he felt as uncomfortable as if he was being scratched by a cat.
Even Yan Bugui, who rarely went out, couldn't help but open the window and greedily breathe in the fragrance in the air. He touched his shriveled stomach and wondered if he should find an excuse to go to Chu Tian's house for a meal.
At this time, a hunched figure slowly moved towards Chu Tian's house. It was the deaf old lady. Although she was deaf, her nose was extremely sensitive. She could smell the fragrance of the chicken soup from a long distance. She walked to the door of Chu Tian's house step by step with a cane and knocked on the door.
Chu Tian was busy in the kitchen. When he heard a knock on the door, he leaned out and saw the deaf old lady. He frowned slightly. He knew that the deaf old lady was very prestigious in the hospital, but she was a bit sinister in her dealings with others. She often took advantage of others by relying on her age. Chu Tian didn't want to have too much contact with her.
"Who is it?" Chu Tian pretended not to see the deaf old lady and asked loudly on purpose.
The deaf old lady knocked on the door again and raised her voice: "Chu Tian, it's me, the deaf old lady!"
Chu Tian then reluctantly opened the door and forced a smile on his face: "It turns out to be the deaf old lady, what can I do for you?"
The deaf old lady looked at Chu Tian with a smile and sniffed hard: "Oh, Chu Tian, what did you make? It smells so good!"
Chu Tian said with a fake smile: "Oh, I made some chicken soup to nourish my body."
When the deaf old lady heard that it was chicken soup, her eyes lit up: "Chicken soup is good, chicken soup is nourishing! Chu Tian, you see I am old and my legs and feet are not convenient, can you give me a bowl of chicken soup to try?"
Chu Tian sneered in his heart. Sure enough, she came to beg for food. Although he didn't want to pay attention to the deaf old lady, it was not easy to refuse directly in front of so many neighbors, so he had to say, "Okay, wait a moment."
Chu Tian turned and went into the kitchen, filled a bowl of chicken soup, and deliberately picked out a few of the smallest pieces of chicken to put in. He brought out the chicken soup and handed it to the deaf old lady: "Please drink slowly."
The deaf old lady took the chicken soup and drank it impatiently, her eyes narrowed into slits: "Mm, it smells so good! Chu Tian, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"
Chu Tian smiled perfunctorily and said nothing.
After the deaf old lady finished drinking the chicken soup, she licked her lips and said with great satisfaction: "Chu Tian, this chicken soup is so delicious. I haven't had such delicious chicken soup for a long time. Do you have any more? Give me another bowl!"
Chu Tian's face darkened. This old woman was really pushing her limits! He suppressed his anger and said, "I'm sorry, I only stewed this much. It's not enough for me to drink."
When the deaf old lady heard this, her face changed. She stood up tremblingly with her cane, pointed at Chu Tian and cursed: "How can you be so ignorant! I am an old widower and you are reluctant to give me a bowl of chicken soup! Do you have any conscience?"
Chu Tian also got angry. He sneered, "Deaf old lady, don't take advantage of your age! Why should I give you chicken soup? I don't owe you anything!"
