Lu Chen looked at both sides of the road and said helplessly: "Hey, then you come with me! There is no village in front of this place and no store in the back. It is really not safe for you to be alone!" He is not the kind of hard-hearted person.
It would be great if some poor people could help.
"Thank you, Brother Lu!" Lin Junyu quickly thanked him with a happy face.
"Let's go, the convoy is going to be far away soon!" Lu Chen said.
Lin Junyu glanced at the dead middle-aged man in the distance, and begged: "Brother, can you let me bury Uncle Gan properly? If he hadn't risked his life to save me just now, I might not be able to escape today!"
When Lu Chen heard this, he glanced at the corpse not far away and said calmly: "Go ahead and move quickly!"
"Thank you!" Lin Junyu thanked him with a bow, turned around and walked towards the dead middle-aged man.
Lin Junyu carried Uncle Gan with difficulty, picked up a long knife in the mud and walked into the woods. He found a piece of flat ground and put the body aside, ready to dig a hole. He was too thin and it took him a long time to lift the shallow water.
There was a shallow layer of soil, and my forehead was covered with sweat.
He scratched and sobbed: "Uncle Gan, I'm sorry, it was me who hurt you. I shouldn't have let you take me out to play without permission. I was too willful. Before I left home, I always thought that the outside world was wonderful, and I longed for it.
Looking at those wandering knights outside. Unexpectedly, the so-called arena is not as fun and exciting as imagined!"
"It would be great if I listened to my sister and stayed at home instead of wandering around outside!"
"Uncle Gan, if you have any knowledge, you will definitely help me return to Liangzhou safely. I swear, I will never be so reckless again!"
"Don't worry, I will burn a lot of money for you on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. Rest in peace, Uncle Gan."
Lin Junyu grabbed the handle of the knife and kept digging at the dirt. Unfortunately, with his little strength, he couldn't even kill a chicken. It would probably be dark by the time the mud pit where he buried the man was dug out.
Looking at the young man working hard, Lu Chen shook his head and chuckled: "This young man looks young, but I didn't expect him to be quite affectionate and righteous!"
"Little guy, who are you? Do you have to bury him yourself?" Lu Chen asked standing on the side.
Lin Junyu didn't look back, and said with a sad look in his eyes: "Uncle Gan is my personal guard. He has watched me grow up and is very kind to me. He is closer to me than his own uncle. It's all my fault, otherwise, he wouldn't have died!"
"It turns out that he is just your bodyguard. Is it worthy of you to treat him so carefully?" Lu Chen asked a little puzzled. It can be seen that this young man has a bodyguard with him at all times. This young man's family is obviously well-off. Generally speaking, those children from rich families rarely take care of themselves.
The followers around him are just for the eyes of others. But this Lin Junyu is an exception. He personally buried the dead guard and went through all the trouble. This kind of master-servant bond is rare!
Lin Junyu said with red eyes: "You don't understand, in my family, Uncle Gan is the best to me, and all the other uncles and uncles don't like me. Since I grew up, Uncle Gan has always treated me like a relative! Now he does it for me
And when he dies, the only thing I can do to repay him is to bury him with my own hands and not let him be exposed in the wilderness and become a lonely ghost after death."
"It turns out that master and servant have a deep love, and this little guy is kind and righteous. Not all disciples from rich families are unkind and unrighteous!"
Lu Chen sighed secretly, feeling inexplicably close to this young man.
Lin Junyu dug for a long time and found that the pit was only the size of a washbasin and could not even bury a rabbit. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Seeing this, Lu Chen shook his head: "Little guy, let me help you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stamped his feet on the ground, and the inner energy in his dantian penetrated his thighs and crazily burrowed into the ground. There was a muffled sound, and a large amount of soil collapsed, revealing a huge ravine!
The ground shook, as if a ferocious beast was burrowing underground. Lin Junyu was standing on the ground and was shaken around. Suddenly he saw a huge ravine in front of him, and he was stunned.
"Hurry up and bury your Uncle Gan, it's getting late!" Lu Chen said lazily, leaning against the tree trunk.
Lin Junyu stared at the ravine in front of him with wide eyes. The pit inside was just big enough to bury an adult. This was the first time he had seen this kind of kung fu.
He turned back to look at Lu Chen, and was shocked in his heart. This young man was so powerful, he could make a hole in the ground with just one kick.
Hearing Lu Chen's reminder, Lin Junyu quickly picked up Uncle Gan's body and threw it into the ravine. Then he pushed the soil on both sides into the pit and buried the body with great effort.
Then, Lin Junyu also found a wooden sign and inserted it in front of the earthen tomb, and carved four beautiful characters with a knife: Tomb of Uncle Gan!
"Uncle Gan, when I return to Liangzhou safely, I will find someone to take you back and bury you properly. Rest in peace!" Lin Junyu bowed before turning around and following Lu Chen out of the woods.
Lu Chen pulled Lin Junyu onto the green-maned horse, and the two of them galloped away on the same horse, and soon caught up with the convoy.
"Brother Lu, where are you going!" Lin Junyu looked at the vast motorcade curiously.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "It's not far, to the border of Yangzhou!"
"It's so far away. It's still a long way from Yangzhou! The road is so muddy, it's hard to walk." Lin Junyu couldn't help but said after hearing this.
Chase Lu said helplessly: "There is no way, my mission is to escort the convoy. Besides, this problem is nothing!"
"Oh!" Lin Junyu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"By the way, does your family know that you came out with a guard?" Lu Chen asked casually while holding the reins and walking forward.
Lin Junyu scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I don't know, I sneaked out without telling them!"
"Escaped secretly? Why, the world is so chaotic and bandits are running rampant. You, a little guy with no strength, dare to run around. Do you think you have a long life?" Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cursed.
Lin Junyu said shyly: "I heard that Mr. Shu said that there are countless heroes in the Jiuzhou continent. They punished rape and eliminated evil, acted chivalrously, and lived a life of drinking and eating meat every day, leaving a legacy in the world.
I am really envious of the good stories about the population, so I couldn’t help but come out to see it!"
"Just for this reason, you deliberately sneaked out without telling your family to experience the so-called Jianghu life?" Lu Chen couldn't help but be stunned after hearing his reasons. He was a little dumbfounded. There really are everyone in this world!
Lin Junyu raised his head and said proudly: "Of course, this world is so wonderful, and life is so short for decades. If you don't go out and see it, it won't be too boring!"
"Then how do you feel after traveling for so long?" Lu Chen joked with a smile.
Lin Junyu shook his head and sighed bitterly: "It's not good, the outside world is not as wonderful as the storyteller said. Bandits are rampant in the countryside, and I am worried every day. Now I just want to go home and live my peaceful life!"
"He ran away from his hometown secretly. He thought that the sky was high and the birds could fly, but whoever wanted to do it actually stepped into the quagmire of swords and swords.
"Pay the price for your ignorance! You are still too young, and the outside world is very dangerous and not as exciting as you long for! Any pleasure, grudges, or chivalry are all made up by storytellers to deceive people.
." Lu Chen smiled lightly. He had a deep understanding of this world. Under the light of swords and shadows, there were countless love and hatred intertwined. Some people became famous in one battle, some fell sadly, and some returned to their hometowns in glory. Looking back, after all, they were nothing.
It's just a dream.
If he had a choice, Lu Chen would not step into this sad world.
"That's not necessarily true. In my heart, Brother Lu, you are a passionate knight who fights for justice. What happened today is extraordinary!" Lin Junyu looked at Lu Chen with admiration.
Lu Chen smiled bitterly: "What kind of knight am I? I'm just a sad person!"
"Brother Lu, why do you say that!" Lin Junyu said slightly surprised.
Lu Chen sighed: "You don't understand!"
The convoy drove hard for thirty or forty miles, and everyone began to stop and rest.
Lu Chen put Lin Junyu down and threw him some dry food. He led the horse to the grassland not far away and fed the green-maned horse some wild grass.
Lin Junyu looked at the rough dry food in his hand, frowned, turned around and walked to the nearby stream to wash the stains on his face. When he was chased by the bandits, he ran around desperately, not caring about his image, and wasted no time along the way.
He fell down so many times that his high-quality and luxurious clothes were stained.
When the danger was gone, he realized that his body was extremely dirty and had mud stains everywhere. He had always had a mysophobia, which made him very uncomfortable, so he quickly washed it with cold stream water.
When Lu Chen led the horse back to the convoy, he discovered that Lin Junyu looked very handsome after cleaning. He was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with fair skin, dark and clear eyes, and a look of thin skin and tender flesh.
A noble temperament.
"I didn't expect you to be quite pretty. Fortunately, you were not discovered by those bandits. Otherwise, I would definitely take you back to my hometown to be my wife!" Lu Chen teased with a smile.
Lin Junyu looked a little ugly when he heard this: "Those bandits can't be so disgusting!"
"Haha, there are all kinds of bandits, not to mention the lack of women on the mountain all year round. When I meet a beautiful little guy like you, there's no guarantee that he won't have any evil intentions!" Lu Chen laughed, with a joking look on his face.
Lin Junyu was anxious when he heard this and said quickly: "Then I'd better get my face dirty with mud and water!"
"Haha!" Lu Chen laughed loudly when he heard this. This boy is really cute.
