After a while, Lu Chen took the two of them to an inn and asked the waiter to prepare hot water and a bathtub for them to change their bodies.
He himself ordered a table of wine and food in another room and tasted it slowly.
After a while, the lame man came over with his child.
"My dear friend, thank you, thank you!" The lame man looked at Lu Chen solemnly, with a grateful look on his face.
Lu Chen looked up and saw that he was wearing light blue uniforms. He looked dignified, with handsome eyebrows and clear eyes. If it weren't for the lame leg, he would definitely be a graceful and humble gentleman.
He couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart, it was really Luo Xuan, this was his childhood, one of the four tigers who caused trouble in Wushuang City. He hadn't seen each other for six or seven years, and he was reduced to such a situation, what a trick of fate!
The reason why he recognized the other person on the street was because of the scar on the other person's back.
This scar may seem ordinary, but it is the warmest memory in Chase Lu's heart.
That year, Luo Xuan, Lu Chen, Wang Xi'er, and Shangguan Bai got drunk in Qianjiao Pavilion. Unexpectedly, they drank too much and offended a desperado.
The desperado was also drunk. As soon as he got drunk, he would cut you with a knife regardless of your identity. That knife almost killed Lu Chen.
Luo Xuan was the most sober at that time. Seeing the bad opportunity, he rushed towards Chase Lu. Unfortunately, he was stabbed in the back by Lu Chen, causing blood to flow and leaving scars.
Finally, the four people swarmed up and beat the desperado to pieces, and the matter came to an end.
Therefore, this is also the fundamental reason why Lu Chen took action.
For Luo Xuan, I have always treated him as an older brother in my heart, but I didn't expect that there would be such a big gap in life situations today. Could it be that it was all destiny?
"Both of you, please sit down!" Lu Chen, wearing a bamboo hat, smiled lightly.
"May I ask your grace, your name?" Luo Xuan asked, cupping his fists.
Lu Chen said calmly: "My surname is Lu and my name is Wushuang!"
"Lu Wushuang?" Luo Xuan said in surprise.
Lu Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, just call me Brother Lu!"
The child next to him stared straight at the table full of dishes, his mouth watering without blinking. He felt like he wanted to eat, but he seemed to be thinking about something, so he immediately held back.
Lu Chen casually gave him a chicken drumstick. The child hesitated for a while, and after consulting his father's eyes, he calmly grabbed the drumstick and started to chew it carefully.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen felt a burst of sadness. This child followed Luo Xuan and probably suffered a lot since childhood.
"That would be disrespectful. I'm Luo Xuan, this is my son Luo Niantong!" Luo Xuan said, touching the tiger-headed child next to him.
Lu Chen glanced at the cute child sucking his fingers, and whispered softly: "Luo Niantong, what a good name."
"May I ask, where is Brother Lu from?" Luo Xuan asked.
Lu Chen didn't intend to tell the other party's identity, so he made a few random remarks: "From Qingzhou, Baima County."
"It turns out that Brother Lu is from Qingzhou, and he and I are from the same hometown. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Luo Xuan learned that Lu Chen was from Qingzhou and that he was from the same hometown as him. His eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but have a good impression of Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was a little confused and said: "Brother Luo, why do you live here!"
Luo Xuan said nothing. He touched his son Luo Niantong's little head and said nothing. His eyes looked melancholy.
"Dad, Niantong is going to make some medicine for you. I just told Brother Xiao Er to lend them the stove and they agreed!" After Luo Niantong finished chewing the chicken legs, he seemed to have remembered something and said quickly.
Luo Xuan was shocked when he heard this. Looking at the child's young and innocent face, his eyes suddenly turned red. He choked with sobs and said with a smile: "Go, don't make trouble!"
"Well, Niantong knows that, I will be very good, daddy!" Luo Niantong nodded heavily and ran out very obediently.
After Niantong left, Luo Xuan picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured it into his mouth, finishing it in one breath.
Seeing Luo Xuan trying to numb his sadness with wine, Lu Chen felt his heart bleed with pain. He was once his best brother.
Is this still the sunny young man who was full of knowledge and high-spirited? What hardships did he go through to become like this?
The last time Lu Chen knew about Luo Xuan was from Wang Xier a few years ago.
Luo Xuan is a child of a well-known aristocratic family in Wushuang City. He has a wealthy family, a handsome appearance, and a talented person. He is also the most handsome among the Four Wushuang Tigers. He has been admired by countless girls.
Later, due to the decline of his family, he was depressed and frustrated, so he wrote a letter to his family, saying that he would practice martial arts and travel around the world, and he never returned.
But he didn't expect that after not seeing him for many years, he would be in such a situation. Lu Chen couldn't help but feel sorry for the unpredictable world.
"Brother Luo, if you consider me your friend, can you tell me what happened to you these years to make you so depressed?" Lu Chen asked.
Luo Xuan drank the wine in the flask in one gulp, his eyes were full of sourness, and he said with a sad voice: "Brother, my life is miserable!"
"Speak slowly, don't get excited, there are no outsiders here!" Lu Chen reassured.
Luo Xuan sorted out his thoughts, and his eyes gradually became erratic: "I come from Wushuang City in Qingzhou. Six years ago, I was a child of a wealthy family. Later, my family fell into decline, so I left my hometown and began to wander around, pursuing my own path to martial arts.
."
"In the first two years, I didn't do well. I encountered obstacles at every turn. My life was miserable. When I was desperate, I joined a bodyguard agency to escort goods to other people's caravans!"
"After about a year of working together, the boss of the escort agency appreciated me very much and promoted me to the position of deputy chief of the escort agency, and my career started to improve."
"During this period, I met a girl named Xu Ruotong. She is the daughter of a bodyguard. She is very beautiful, like a fairy." After saying this, a smile quietly appeared on Luo Xuan's sad face, as if he remembered the last paragraph.
Sweet time.
"When she met me, she disliked me in every possible way, making things difficult for me and making fun of me."
"I thought that she was the escort's most beloved daughter. I gave in to her and accommodated her everywhere. But the more this happened, the more she pestered me."
"But sometimes, love is so magical, and it appears between the two of us out of nowhere!"
"One time, a batch of goods had to be taken away from the escort agency. Her father was seriously ill and could not escort him. In desperation, he had no choice but to let me escort him."
"When I walked halfway, I realized that she had also quietly come running over, insisting on making a fuss and traveling around the world with me."
"I didn't expect that on the way, I encountered a group of bandits and intercepted them. There were more than a dozen escorts on that shipment, and they were all killed. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, I managed to escape with Atong and hid in a building.
Take refuge in the barren mountains!”
"That night, we made a lifelong commitment and confirmed our relationship."
"I thought that I, Luo Xuan, would live a happy life, but I didn't expect that bad luck would follow."
"His father saw that Ruotong and I were developing rapidly, and there were vague signs of a life-long private relationship. He became angry and kicked me out of the escort agency, and we have drawn a line from now on."
"Since then, it has been difficult for me to meet Ruotong. His father only values my ability to do things, not me as a person." After saying this, Luo Xuan clenched his fists, looking extremely angry.
"After his father kicked me out of the escort agency, he promised his daughter Ruotong to someone else in order to cut off my thoughts, and this person was Leng Yulang, the city lord of Rongqiu County."
"But at that time, Ruotong was already pregnant, and I would never allow him to marry anyone else. For this matter, I visited him many times. Not only was he rejected, but I was also beaten many times."
"In order to protect me, Ruotong decided to have a showdown with his father. She can marry someone else, but the child must be left to me!"
"But his father's only condition is that I can never see Ruotong again!"
"Facing the stubborn Ruotong, his father was angry but had no choice but to nod in agreement!"
"Later, after Ruotong gave birth to Niantong, she gave the child to me and married someone else!"
"While raising my children, I, Luo Xuan, followed her footsteps to Rongqiu County, hoping to see her again one day."
"It's just that Leng Yulang didn't know where he got the information about me and Ruotong. He got so angry that he asked someone to break one of my legs. He also found people to humiliate me from time to time in an attempt to force me to leave Rongqiu County!"
After Lu Chen listened to the other party's personal experience, he finally understood the reason why Luo Xuan's life was poor.
Compared with Luo Xuan, I am very lucky.
As far as Lu Chen knew, Luo Xuan's strength was not very strong. It would be very difficult for a person to get ahead in this land of Kyushu if he didn't have enough luck and help from noble people.
What's more, Luo Xuan, whose family is in decline, may not be able to make a name for himself in Kyushu even when his family is at its most prosperous.
Lu Chen suddenly said, "That's why I saw that scene on the street. These gangsters were all hired by the city lord, right?"
"Well, this Leng Yulang is narrow-minded and vicious. He always makes things difficult for his father and his son!" Luo Xuan nodded and said with an extremely angry expression.
Lu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. No man would tolerate his woman thinking about other men every day!
No wonder the city lord repeatedly made things difficult for Luo Xuan and his son. He didn't expect this to happen.
"Poor for my sensible child, he has never even seen his mother since he was born. I am useless, really useless, I am ashamed to be a father!" Luo Xuan thought of this and couldn't help but slap his face crazily,
I felt extremely ashamed.
Finally, he lay down on the table and burst into tears, crying until his heart broke.
A man doesn't shed tears lightly, but he hasn't reached the point where he is sad.
For an adult to be so sad, he must have accumulated sadness that cannot be vented for many years.
"You've suffered, brother!" Lu Chen sighed inwardly, and then patted the other party's shoulder, not knowing how to comfort him.
At this time, Niantong walked in with a bowl of soup and medicine, and said playfully: "Dad, look, I made the soup for you, and those little brothers didn't charge me for it!"
Seeing his son rushing in, Luo Xuan quickly raised his head to wipe away his tears, forced a smile and said: "Son, you are so good!"
"Dad, let me blow it on you. The soup is a bit hot for your mouth!" Nian Tong gently blew on the hot air on the soup, so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.
"With such a filial son, I, Luo Xuan, should be content for the rest of my life." Luo Xuan said with a bitter smile.
"The only pity is that this child hasn't seen his mother yet!"
Lu Chen looked at this scene calmly and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Nian Tong, Nian Tong, the child is named like this, which clearly shows Luo Xuan's infatuation for his wife!"
