Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 230 Wildness

It turned out that the couple had just moved to this village not long ago. The reason why they had to leave their hometown and their familiar land to settle in this strange place was because of their child who was different from ordinary people.

This child was very special since he was born, he was born with a mouthful of sharp and scary teeth. Moreover, this child was very ferocious since he was young, like a little wild animal that was difficult to tame.

Whenever his mother tried to get close to him and feed him, he would attack with his fangs and claws. His sharp teeth often injured his parents.

But even so, this is after all the child born to them, their own flesh and blood. As parents, how could they bear to abandon their own child?

Therefore, they have been enduring all of this silently, hoping that as their children grow up and become sensible, these problems will be solved naturally.

However, things went against their wishes. As the child grew older, the situation did not improve as they expected. Instead of becoming sensible, the child became more vicious, and his viciousness became more and more difficult to control.

Gradually, the people in the village where they originally lived, who had felt pity and sympathy for their family at the beginning, gradually became dissatisfied with them and their opinions grew stronger as the children's evil deeds continued to escalate.

Just when the feeling of dissatisfaction was gradually accumulating, the child got into big trouble. For no reason, he bit a child from the next-door neighbor's house, and the wound was just enough to kill the child.

This incident was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves. The villagers could no longer endure it, and the long-suppressed anger completely erupted.

Under the condemnation and expulsion of the people, the family of three was reluctantly driven out of the village. After leaving the village, they wandered around for a long time, experienced countless hardships, and finally came to this village to settle down.

They originally had a good family financial situation, but after experiencing a series of misfortunes, the family’s money had long been drained out by paying for compensation for the children’s misfortunes.

But fate didn't seem to let this poor couple off.

They were living in extreme poverty, but their child had a huge appetite and would not stop until he had eaten three or four pounds of meat. They did not have the means to feed the child, so sometimes they would rather go hungry and save a few bites of food for the child.

However, even so, it is still far from meeting the child's daily food requirements.

So, the child who was always hungry at home, when he could no longer bear the hunger, would sneak out when his parents were not paying attention.

He searched everywhere in the village for food. At first, he only caught some poultry such as chickens and ducks. But as his hunger grew, he became bolder and bolder, and even started to attack large livestock such as pigs and cows.

The couple were extremely worried when they discovered their child's evil deeds.

They tried to lock the child up to prevent him from getting into trouble again, but the child's sharp teeth were too powerful, and ordinary iron chains were like fragile cotton threads under his sharp teeth, and he could easily bite them off.

The child was so vicious and stubborn that the couple was really at a loss as to what to do.

Li Zhi glanced at Feng Zi Cheng beside him and asked, "Uncle Cheng, you are well-informed. What do you think is going on with this child?"

Just as Cheng Fengzi was about to speak, there were some slight noises coming from other houses around him. He knew that other villagers must have heard the noise outside and wanted to come out to find out what was going on out of curiosity.

Cheng Fengzi knew clearly that if this matter became known to other villagers, this family would not be able to stay in the village and they would surely be driven out, which would undoubtedly be adding insult to injury for this family that was already suffering greatly.

Thinking of this, Fengzi Cheng quickly said to the couple, "Come on, let's go to your room first and talk about it. Don't stay here to avoid unnecessary trouble."

The couple was stunned at first, but they immediately understood Cheng Fengzi's good intentions. A trace of gratitude flashed in their eyes, and they nodded vigorously to Cheng Fengzi, and then quickly walked towards their house with Cheng Fengzi and Li Zhi.

After a while, they arrived at the couple's home.

Cheng Fengzi took out a rope from his body and asked Li Zhi to tie up the child.

The child was still extremely vicious. When Li Zhi tied him up, his eyes widened and bloodshot. He stretched his neck desperately, opened his mouth, and kept biting Li Zhi. He also made low roars from his mouth. The scene was really terrifying.

Even though Li Zhi slapped him a few times without any mercy, the child still had a fierce look on his face, and there was no sign of retreat in his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Zhi frowned, picked up a piece of rag from the side, and stuffed it into his mouth, blocking his mouth. Only then did the creepy roar stop.

But even though his mouth was blocked, his red eyes still stared viciously at the people present, even his parents.

Cheng Fengzi looked at the child and slowly squatted down. He looked at the child carefully, then stretched out his hand to pry open the child's eyelids, stared at the child's eyes and observed him carefully.

After a moment, Fengzi Cheng stood up with a frown on his face and said solemnly, "This child must have been blinded by the wildness, so he has lost his normal rationality and is completely dominated by the wildness."

When the couple heard Cheng Fengzi say this, their faces turned pale instantly.

Then, as if they had grasped the last straw, they fell to their knees again with a plop, their eyes full of begging, and they pleaded with Cheng Fengzi in tears, "Sir, please, you must help us, we really have no other way."

Fengzi Cheng rubbed his brows helplessly and said with an embarrassed look: "I don't have the ability to do that. The only way to solve this problem is to find someone who knows how to drive away the wildness, or to have some special treasure. Otherwise, if the wildness is not eliminated, the child's mind will be suppressed forever, and he will always be like this, like a wild beast without reason."

When Li Zhi heard this, his eyes suddenly gleamed, as if he had thought of something. He hurriedly asked, "Uncle Cheng, if you don't drive away his wildness, can you directly enlighten his mind and restore his sanity?"

When Cheng Fengzi heard what Li Zhi said, he was stunned at first, then he seemed to understand Li Zhi's thoughts and asked, "Are you talking about the Spirit Pointing Finger of Xiaoyao Mountain?"

"That's right." Li Zhi nodded vigorously.

Fengzi Cheng lowered his head, thought seriously for a while, and then slowly said: "Well, we can give it a try. Theoretically, it should be possible. Use the spirit to enlighten his mind and let the power of his mind overwhelm his wildness. In this way, perhaps he will no longer be as crazy as a wild beast as he is now."

After listening to Fengzi Cheng's words, Li Zhi turned his head and looked at the couple, and said seriously: "I have a spell that may help you awaken the child's mind. However, this is just my speculation, and I am not sure whether it will work, and there are great risks. If you are not careful, the child may lose his life. Think about it carefully and decide whether you want to give it a try."

When the couple heard this, they looked at each other in surprise. They held each other's hands tightly, and deep confusion could be seen in each other's eyes.

Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi did not urge them, but just stood aside quietly, waiting for their reply.

When the couple looked at the child who was still struggling and had a fierce look on his face, a hint of determination flashed in their eyes. As if they had made a great decision, they gritted their teeth and said in unison: "Please help us! We are willing to give it a try!"
