Zhen Zhi Childhood ( 4 - 5 )
[ Run, run. I must run fast] Thought Zhen Zhi.
Zhen Zhi running desperately into his house direction. By the time he almost halfway, more villagers aware about him. Sadly, they thought that Zhen Zhi is an Earth Spirit. The villagers already prepare their weapon to fight the spirit. The villagers already crowded in the Village Square, they discussed how to fight the spirit.
"Aren't chief already order us to hunt this spirit tomorrow ? What if something happened ?" Asked a young woman.
"It's just a spirit, we don't need the protection of him. Let's just finish the spirit fastly before his parent searched about him." Said one of the villager.
"But . . . . .. what about the chief order ?" Asked the other villager.
"Why you bother about chief order if the spirit is in front us. Hurry, we must chase him fast !"
More villagers chase Zhen Zhi. Because Zhen Zhi running speed really slowly, after few moments, he already almost overtaken. To prevent an unexpected thing, Zhen Zhi scremed.
"All of you, it's me, Zhen Zhi. ! I'm not a ghost !"
Hearing this, some villagers became hesitated and slow down their running speed
"What ? The Spirit actually possessing that unlucky boy ? You evil, did you know that the boy below an unlucky star ? He is born weak yet you possessed a weak boy ? Did your parent not teach about pity ?" Shout one of the villagers.
[Pity ? If you guys really pity me, why all of you ridiculed me about my weak body ? ] Thought Zhen Zhi, but he immediately clears his mind.
"No, it's really me, Zhen Zhi. Please don't chase me !"
"Hurry, restrain him. We must purify this boy from the spirit. If we too late, he will die. All of you don't want to see the Chief sad face, right ? " Shout the villager
Hearing the shout, the villagers who hesitant to chase Zhen Zhi, immediately increased their running speed.
After an enough time to burn incense stick, one of the villager managed to grab Zhen Zhi eye. Because his hand is grabbed, Zhen Zhi body slipped and he fall down.
"Aaaaah." Screamed Zhen Zhi.
"Hurry, restrain him. Look, he screamed. Zhen Zhi spirit tried to ressist the spirit conscious. We must help him." Said the same villagers.
Hearing this, Zhen Zhi hand is chained with a rope in his back. One of the villagers tried to get a water to 'purify' him.

"Using the Black Hand Mercenary ? " Asked the young prince to ensure his thought.
"Yes, to do 'dirty' job, they always the best. And that Crazy Old Man doesn't dare to offend the master of the mercenary guild unless he wants to be dead."
"What rank we issued ?"
"S+ Rank."
"What ??? Aren't A+ already good enough ? We need really massive amount money to do our plan, right ?"
"I understand young prince, but to prevent our plan fail, we must do it. Our ancestor already created this plan for 200 years, now what we need to do is ripe the fruit."
"Yes, you right. But, uncle, are you sure about issuing S+ Rank mission ?"
"Ahahhaaha, uncle . . . .Even if my nephew already chosen as crown prince, he still doesn't forget his uncle, does he ?"
"Uncle, we can make you General Commander, why you almost refuse it ?" proposed the young prince.
"Ask brother, he knew my reason." Answered the chief without bothering his nephew feeling
"Sigh, let's back into the main topic. If we successfully to grab the document, based on uncle calculation, what is the percentage of our plan is failed ?"
"Only 1 % relax, even if our plan is leaked, it only increased to 10 %. So, the plan is guaranteed 90% successful."
Hearing this, the young prince relaxed. He always in stress about what if the plan is failed, but after hearing his uncle confident answer, at least, he assured by his uncle.
"6 months later, we will use the Black Hand Mercenary to deliver our offer to that Crazy Old Man. I believe, it will arrive 3 days after we issued the mission. Since our offer is our royal treasure, of course, that Crazy **** will accept it. Since the offer deadline only a few day, he will only have small time think about our offer. This is the only way so he will 100 % agree to offer, the more the time, the less our chance "
". . . . . . . . " The young prince thought a while.
"Before the 6 month arrived, we must prepared our plan." Added the chief.
"6 months . . . . . It will be Black Raining season right ?"
"Right, luckily it's a good season to do it."
"Heaven must be helping us." Said the young prince with an arrogant tone.

1 Day Later.
In Zhen Zhi room, a sound of cry can be heard. Zhen Zhi is sleeping in the bed, while he also weeping in the bed
--Zhen Zhi POV--
Really, I hate this. Why this always happened to me.
Why ?
How the hell they thought me as spirit, not only they throw me a bucket of water multiple times, they also force me to eat a disgusting thing. They said that 'thing' can purify my mind.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
Purify what ? My mind ? My mind is already good enough. What about a way to purifying my body ? If there is something like that, something that can make my body strong, I will take it. No matter what the price, the pain, the suffering, the taste. I will accept it
I hate this.
I have enough about my weakness.
I hate them. All of the villagers, unlike me, a weakling, they can do anything. My peer can play everyday while I only can fish. It's not fair.
NOT FAIR
I hope all of them die.
Zhen Zhi POV END.
"Hellen, what happened into Zhen Zhi ?" Asked Zhen Zhi grandmother.
"Mother . . . . an incident happened. Many villagers thought that Zhen Zhi was possessed, that's why his body . . . . . . . "
"They force my grandson to eat Cow Dung ?" Asked Zhen Zhi's grandmother surprised.
Zhen Hellen doesn't answer his mother question.
"Sorry mother, this is my fault. If I watch Zhen Zhi properly, this matter shouldn't happen. Right now Shi Shi is crying in her room. She can't see her son because I forbid her."
"Sigh, what already happened, be it happen. Don't let the past consume you. It is not your fault, you already tried really hard to become a good chief in this village. Right now Zhen Zhi needs time to be alone, your choice is right. I hope that kid is realized about the truth about the world we lived. "
"Why Zhen Zhi always suffer ?" Asked Zhen Hellen
"Fate never show any kindness to our people."
"Tomorrow I will teach Zhen Zhi about how to read and write. Even if he weak, he must understand our world.
A world where the strong eat the weak
A world where power meant everything
A world where absolute power trample over strategy
Is a fact that the world is only for strong people

In Zhen Hellen work room, Zhen Zhi is sitting in his father chair. Zhen Shi is sitting beside her son, currently teaching about writing and reading to Zhen Zhi.
"Mother, what is the meaning of this word ?"
"This word meaning is Fire."
"And this word ?"
"Sky."
"No, you wrong little Zhi. To write Sky, you must write this part backward."
After Zhen Zhi write 'Sky' word correctly, Zhen Shi said,
"After this, I will tell you about time in this word." Said Zhen Shi.
"Stop Writing, listen to your mother. There are 15 months in a year. Every month is 30 days. " Explained Zhen Shi.
"So a year is 450 days ?" Asked Zhen Zhi.
"Smart, you right little Zhi. A year is 450 years." Praised Zhen Shi
Hearing his mother praise, Zhen Zhi became happy.
"Remember Zhen Zhi, in a year, there are 5 seasons.
The First is Spring Season. The Season of Plant Element.
the Second is Hot Season. The Season of Fire Element
The Third is Warm Season. The Season of Earth Element.
The Fourth is Black Raining Season. The Season of Metal Element.
Last is Snowy Season. The Season of Water Element.
The seasons change every 3 months, right now this season is the early month of Hot Season."
"So, that's why when I went outside into the pond, it is hotter than before."
"You right."
"And what is Element, mother ?"
"You still too early to learn that. Read and Write more" Said Zhen Zhi.
"Yes, mom."
Zhen Zhi grabbed his wooden pencil and yellow paper and tried to write some word.

"It's normal, he still only a child." Said Fen Yi.
"You right, Eh, did you sense Solid Qi Realm Cultivator in the forest ?" Asked Shu Zan.
"Yes, I wonder why a Solit Qi Realm Cultivator protected this village. But, I can sense a curse from him." Answerred Fen Yi.
"So, you also thought that he cursed ? " Said Shu Zan.
"Hmmph, you're not only the one who smart one. But the curse . . . . "
