Chapter 14: The Journey
Jiang Xun and Chu Enoch looked at each other speechlessly in the carriage, while Mr. Xu was driving the carriage.
The carriage window was only slightly open, but the occasional shrill chatter could be heard, but no one wanted to pay attention to it at this time.
Chu Yinuo casually picked up one of the bunch of books in the carriage and handed it to Jiang Xun, who was covered with bandages, and said, "Young Master Jiang Xun, since you are idle and you are not sleepy, it is better to read more books." ”
"Well, then. Jiang Xun took the book and casually opened a certain page to read, which caused Chu Enoch to smile helplessly, obviously the latter was extremely scornful of this way of reading, but still didn't say anything.
And Jiang Xun, who was reading the book, unexpectedly saw this text in the book:
"When you are born in the world, you must have your responsibilities, and those who are responsible will also be responsible. ”
Jiang Xun kept repeating this sentence in a low voice, and then fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Chu Enoch on the side couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's the matter?" Could it be that you can't stand it?"
Jiang Xun was silent for a moment, then looked at Chu Enoch and asked, "As far as you know, do people have their own responsibilities all their lives?"
Chu Enoch's smile froze, and then replied, "No." ”
"Why?" Jiang Xun then asked.
"Because man is born in the world, he is pure, when man has not yet been defiled by anything, when he is the most primitive and instinctive, and if he is even responsible for it then, then a person's birth is too sad. Because responsibility binds that person's body and even soul, a person who feels that he has a 'responsibility' will often do things that go against what he really thinks. But newborn children will not do things against their instincts, crying is a need, laughing is happiness, if I am demanding with responsibility, then I would rather not be born in the first place. Chu Enoch said.
Jiang Xun pressed his temples and replied, "I still don't understand." ”
Chu Enoch looked at Jiang Xun meaningfully and said, "It's okay, anyway, you will understand later." ”
During the conversation, Jiang Xun and Chu Enoch had already left the city gate and were heading towards other cities. On the road, Jiang Xun and Chu Enoch saw some peasants walking on the side of the road with farm tools on their backs, so Chu Enoch asked Jiang Xun: "Jiang Xungongzi, what do you think is the responsibility of these people?"
"Naturally, the crops are being cultivated. Jiang Xun replied.
"Nope. Chu Enoch opened the curtain of the car, and the wind happened to blow, blowing his hair, "Their responsibility is to live." ”
Jiang Xun's eyes widened: "Alive?"
"Yes, to live, this is the most fundamental responsibility. Chu Enoch lowered the curtain of the car again, leaned against the window, and said: "This is the responsibility given to us by God, to do this, everyone must pay, but this kind of pay can sometimes become a reason to deprive others of their lives, if this is the case, this responsibility becomes a curse, and I have been cursing this curse." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Xun shook his head: "I don't know, what is the meaning of these things?"
"It's still the same sentence: it's okay, you'll understand later anyway. Chu Enoch smiled, then leaned on the car, silently closed his eyes, and after a while, his breathing became even.
Jiang Xun could only admire this guy's big heart, but he was also a little tired, and the injuries on his body were not yet complete, so he also took advantage of his fatigue and fell asleep.
By the time Jiang Xun was awakened, it was already dark, and they had already found a place to stay, which was a small inn, but because there were few rooms and many people came here, they only got one room, but they were already very satisfied if they didn't sleep.
When Jiang Xun woke up, the carriage had already stopped, and Chu Enoch stared at Jiang Xun under the carriage.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xun asked strangely.
"No other, just to see if you can come down by yourself, Childe. Chu Enoch stretched out his hand, "All in all, I'm here to help you." ”
Jiang Xun shook his head and said, "Don't call me Gongzi anymore." ”
Chu Enoch blinked, smiled and asked, "What does that call you?"
"Just call me by my name, Jiang Xun is fine. ”
"Then, Jiang Xun, please give me your hand, I'll help you down, how about it?"
Jiang Xun laughed, then grabbed Chu Enoch's hand and came down with difficulty.
"Why does it still hurt so much, your medicine doesn't work. Jiang Xun teased Chu Enoch.
"I'm too lazy to dispense medicine, I secretly took the medicine of your confidante from you this morning. Chu Enoch smiled.
Jiang Xun was silent, and then Chu Enoch smeared some black powder on his face.
"Y-what!" Jiang Xun laughed angrily.
"You're sensitive right now, just in case. Chu Enoch explained, and then made a helpless look.
Jiang Xun wanted to fight back, but it didn't make sense for this guy to say that the thief was reasonable, so he could only say indignantly: "You have to remember it for me, you will be done by me sooner or later." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Chu Enoch didn't care.
Then Chu Enoch helped Jiang Xun and slowly walked into the inn, and then Jiang Xun saw a bunch of people who were drinking and eating meat, some of them were shirtless and not very particular about eating, at first glance they were nearby laborers who had just finished their work, and some of them were sven, but they were only wearing tattered green clothes, probably scholars who had no fame, right? But although all this is complicated, it has nothing to do with Jiang Xun, and it is just a look.
Jiang Xun was helped by Chu Enoch to the staircase, and then he saw Mr. Xu talking to a middle-aged man who seemed to be the innkeeper, and then Mr. Xu saw them behind the boss.
Mr. Xu pulled the boss to talk about something, and gave Chu Enoch a look, and the latter also understood, and walked to the second floor with Jiang Xun in his arms.
Jiang Xun knew that this was just to reduce unnecessary trouble, after all, no one wanted to get into trouble, because in a place like this, it is said that there will also be people who steal chickens and dogs, and there are even more difficult to explain.
After staying on the second floor and entering the room, Chu Enoch said to Jiang Xun: "You rest here for a while, I'll go see Mr. Xu." ”
"Got it. ”
"If you're really bored, there's some books in your bag that you can pick up and read. Chu Enoch smiled.
Jiang Xun was a little helpless about Chu Enoch's character: "I know, you can go quickly." ”
"Hmm. Chu Enoch answered, and then walked out of the room and closed the door.
Jiang Xun sighed, then sat down in his chair thinking about something. Suddenly, he seemed to notice something unusual in the room, as if someone was staring at him. But there was no one in his sight, only a frightening silence.
This frightened Jiang Xun to the core, but he was injured and couldn't check it easily, so he sat on the chair, looked up and down, left and right, and really didn't find anything. But Jiang Xun didn't dare to relax too much, so he secretly summoned the soul shadow, but this time there was only a trace of gold flashing in his eyes, and it did not directly turn into snake eyes as before, and the soul shadow snake was only as long as his arm, and secretly curled up and hid on the inside of his arm, spitting snake letters around.
Jiang Xun frowned, and then quietly moved his gaze to the wooden bed in the room.
Jiang Xun staggered to the table, then slowly walked to the side of the wooden bed, stared at the bottom of the bed, then sighed, and said to himself: "Alas, it seems that I am thinking too much." ”
After that, Jiang Xun returned to his original place and sat down.
At this time, after the person hiding under the bed had just breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Jiang Xun say lightly: "How long are you going to hide?"
Calm down, you must be calm! This man must be bluffing! The man under the bed keeps admonishing himself.
Jiang Xun's eyes condensed slightly, and then said, "Look at what is in your left arm?"
The person under the bed suddenly looked at his left arm, only to find that a phantom snake had already unconsciously wrapped around his left arm, spitting out a snake letter and staring at him.
"Ahh ”
Chu Enoch blinked and responded, "It should be, it won't." ”
In the room, Jiang Xun was also stunned by this exclamation, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, thinking: What is the situation?
At this time, a person crawled out from under the bed, crying and lying on the ground and begging: "My lord, you have a lot of adults, just spare my life."
Jiang Xun didn't react for a while: "You, you, you?"
The man raised his head, revealing a delicate and lovely face, but it was stained with a lot of ash, and her big round eyes were staring at Jiang Xun with tears, which made people feel love for a while, she raised her left hand wrapped around the snake shadow, and looked at Jiang Xun with a pitiful face.
And Jiang Xun never expected that the guy hidden in the room turned out to be a "little guy", and he was just a girl who looked like she was only about twelve years old.
