Chapter 102: Ziyang Baoyu
Time flies, and more than a month passes.
On a winter morning, under the first rays of sunlight, the Wuding River is foggy and frosty, and the river is still undulating.
Aggressive!
The sound of excavation came and went, but I saw that the barren island was full of dirt, no monument and no paper money, revealing decay and desolation, which was three points colder than this cold winter wax moon.
A dark-skinned, thin-skinned, half-grown teenager wielded a shovel that was more than a head taller than himself, digging through the cold ground one by one.
Next to it was a corpse that had frozen into a lump of ice.
But looking at the surrounding dirt bags, it is clear that this matter has been going on for a long time.
The half-grown boy seems to be constantly working hard, or numb, sweating like rain, and his clothes are frozen, and he is unaware of it, digging pits, dragging corpses, and burying them mechanically.
And so on, drinking water when you are thirsty, sitting on the floor when you are tired, and then continuing.
Seeing that the sun was rising, the half-grown boy wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, threw down the shovel, patted the dust on his body, and walked towards the island.
The island is overgrown with shrubs, and it seems to have been burned by fire recently, and it is a mess, and brown blood stains can be faintly seen in many places.
In the center, there is a stone and wood structure of the earth building, and the three big characters of the Juyi Hall can be seen on the dilapidated plaque, which is the lair of the Oolong Gang.
And the half-grown boy is the dog leftover, who is sitting cross-legged on the roof of the earthen building, breathing in the morning light and breathing out the long figure of the standing pile, which is naturally Lu Chuan who killed the water bandits!
Gou Yu looked up at Lu Chuan, who was not moving, with obvious envy and longing in his big eyes, and immediately took out pots and pans and boiled water for cooking.
During this period of time, in addition to digging pits and burying corpses, whether it is boiling water for cooking, washing clothes, or making beds and folding quilts, it has all fallen on his immature shoulders.
Even the hardships of fishing with his grandfather since he was a child are a little unbearable.
Of course, if you dig a pit to bury the body, it is still much easier than before.
It's a pity that Lu Chuan is a big stomach, and the water bandit's treasury is enough for two people to eat for a few years, but Lu Chuan is also a picky mouth.
Or, if possible, absolutely unwilling to treat yourself badly.
Therefore, how to make a good meal has become something that the dog needs to do for the rest of this time.
When the dog left a large pot of boiled fish and the fragrant rice came out of the pot, there was no need to shout, Lu Chuan's figure had already appeared at the dinner table.
"Yes, it's finally a little bit better!"
Lu Chuan sandwiched the chopsticks and fish, and nodded with satisfaction.
Gouyu's eyes lit up, this was the first time he had been praised, and he pulled half a bowl of rice into his stomach with joy.
"Go pack your things!"
Lu Chuan ate and drank to his heart's content, carried a jar of wine, and went to bask in the sun leisurely.
Gou Yu asked casually, "Going out again?"
"If you leave this time, you won't come back!"
Lu Chuan took two sips of wine and squinted at the foggy Wuding River.
"Oh...... Huh?"
The dog was stunned and puzzled, "But...... The body hasn't been buried yet!"
Hundreds of people from the entire Oolong Gang, whether it was the water bandits or the poor people who had been kidnapped, all died in that fire and poisonous smoke.
With a dog and a half left, how can it be possible to bury everyone in just one month?
The winter of the Wuding River is very cold, and there is no freezing because the river is turbulent.
The frozen soil is extremely strong, and it is thanks to Lu Chuan that he made him an iron shovel, otherwise, he would not be able to dig a pit if he was exhausted, let alone bury hundreds of corpses.
If it is a hot day, it is estimated that it will rot and stink long ago, and it will not be able to live in people at all.
"A bunch of beasts who robbed homes and houses, and you still expect them to be buried in the ground?"
Lu Chuan's tone was flat and indifferent, and it seemed to be three points colder than the wind of the cold winter and the moon.
"Oh!"
Gou Yu nodded ignorantly, thinking of the neighbors in the fishing village, and the grandfather who fell in blood and fire, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand anything.
But I get up early every day and are greedy for darkness, tired and tired to dig a pit and bury the corpse for more than a month, what do you want?
Of course, Lu Chuan didn't know how to explain, he shamelessly and naturally lived the life of a landlord and old wealth, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with squeezing children and laborers.
"Hey, that's stupid!"
Seeing that the dog was silently buried in packing up his things, Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly.
Hard-working is a good quality, and our ancestors have long told us with practical actions, but to put it bluntly, this is just servility.
In the past month, the dog has done well in all aspects, but in Lu Chuan's eyes, it is almost useless.
The perennial fishing career day and night, as well as the boring living environment of the fishing village, have long worn out the spirituality of this half-grown boy.
The only advantage may be obedience left!
"Let's take a look!"
Lu Chuan let out a long sigh and lowered his head to play with a piece of jade the size of his thumb and a white body.
Under the winter sun, there seems to be a cloud of smoke around Baoyu, which is dense and warm.
This is a rare piece of warm jade!
This jade is obtained from the skin of the fairy princess, except for this jade, it is a few gold leaves and the ornaments of her daughter's family, and there is nothing else.
"Ziyang Nuanyu, a good thing!"
Lu Chuan squinted at Baoyu, there seemed to be something flowing inside, revealing a sense of mystery.
By recalling the many files and secret records obtained from Tao Hu, coupled with the accumulation of experience over the years, I finally judged the roots and preciousness of this treasure.
Don't look at it is only the size of a thumb, but it is more than the original Jiang Yinghong gave Jiang Tao to live a long life, and it is enough to be the size of a human head, and it is precious and I don't know how many people are precious.
This treasure can warm people's hearts and spleens, invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, and can also adjust internal forces, calm the mind, which can be described as extraordinary.
During this time, Lu Chuan was also healing, and accidentally opened the skin bag and found this treasure, which finally stabilized the injury.
It's a pity that both the water bandit treasury and the pharmacy in the surrounding county town have been stolen by him, and there is no medicine stone that can allow him to recover safely.
The method of using the body as a furnace is dangerous and abnormal, and it cannot withstand the slightest influence.
If you put too much or too little of the herbs, it may become a poison, and if you put it in the wrong order, it may also become a poison, or even if the heat is poor, it will become a poison.
It is also thanks to Lu Chuan's amazing memory and strong control, and the remote location here is undisturbed, so he has been recuperating steadily for more than a month.
In his spare time, he will comprehend the body refining method from great wisdom and courage - Vajra Prajna Gong!
Although this body refining method is not as direct to the innate as the golden body of a hundred poisons, it is also the top body refining method that directly refers to the first product.
Moreover, he is even better in esotericism, and after so many days of comprehension, Lu Chuan can only get started, and he has barely understood the first few exercises.
Even so, the stones of other mountains can attack jade, and it also gives a deeper insight into the golden body of the hundred poisons.
In the same way, by taking this opportunity to feed back the mixed yuan golden body, he gradually touched the next cultivation path.
It's a pity that neither the exhaustion of the medicine stone nor his own injuries allow him to further cultivate.
So, it's time to leave the frontier and head to a more prosperous big city!
In the afternoon of the same day, Gou Yu drove Lu Chuan out of the island, went back and forth three times, transported three horses and a few boxes, and left the island where he had lived for more than a month.
"From now on, you will be called Sun Yu, while abandoning the past, it does not mean forgetting!"
Lu Chuan patted the top of the dog's head and changed his name on his own initiative, as always, he implemented the purpose that domestic workers have no human rights.
In this regard, the dog has no objection, and even if there is, it is reserved.
Originally, he wanted to buy a carriage when passing through the township, mainly to store luggage, if he was the only one, he could ride the world.
But the dog is still only a half-grown child, and he can't stand the wind and sleeping.
Even if he didn't even know it, he was already silently cultivating martial arts, but after all, he was just a beginner.
Moreover, Lu Chuan also needs a more comfortable environment to recuperate his body.
Unexpectedly, as far as the eye could see, it was a mess, and there were homeless people everywhere dragging their families south.
After inquiring, I learned that the grassland barbarians waved millions of troops south, and had broken through Wutong Mansion, spreading the war to the entire Liangzhou, and even the surrounding areas were raided by grassland barbarians from time to time.
Not only that, but what is even more terrifying is that those Great Jin deserters are more vicious than the grassland barbarians, and the places they pass are like locusts crossing the border.
The town of Pisces was also damaged, and although it was not broken, it was also in danger.
Now, those who have the ability are already ganging up, and they have gone south early to avoid trouble.
The rest are old, weak, sick and disabled.
But surrounded by tigers and wolves, their fate seems to have been doomed.
"Trouble!"
Lu Chuan frowned and looked at the refugees who looked like walking corpses.
Originally, I wanted to rush to Fucheng as soon as possible to collect the required medicinal materials, but in this way, if the two of them went on the road alone, it would be easy to become the target of the homeless bandits.
In particular, the two of them are sick and young, and they also carry three horses and bags, no matter how you look at it, they are the best targets.
"Adult, okay, give the stutter, the child has been hungry for several days!"
In the distance, their horses were spotted, and dozens of refugees pounced with their eyes shining brightly.
If it weren't for Lu Chuan's official uniform, I'm afraid he would have rushed up and flayed the three horses alive with their belts.
"Brother Lu!"
Gou Yu took two steps back in fear, but there was a hint of pleading in his innocent eyes.
Poof!
Lu Chuan casually threw a rucksack containing dry food into the dog's arms, dozens of catties of dry food, and the dog left a thin body and staggered back a few steps.
"Thank you, Brother Lu!"
Gou Yu didn't expect that Lu Chuan, who has always been cold-faced and cold-spoken, would have such a good side of talking, so he immediately happily hugged the backpack and handed it over to the refugees.
"Thank you, sir, for your mercy......"
The refugees gobbled up, kowtowed, and more often than not, fought for food.
"Eat slowly, it's all there, don't grab it!"
The dog was at a loss and couldn't stop at all, but there was a satisfied smile on his face.
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.
When the evening came, when the two stopped to rest until the middle of the night, the group of refugees followed, and there were more of them.
In the dark night, a pair of green eyes, like hungry wolves, surrounded the two.
"Sir, give me a stutter, we're so hungry!"
Facing the hand stretched out in the dark, the dog panicked, woke up the sleeping Lu Chuan, and asked what to do.
