Chapter Ninety-Three: The Precarious World

A month later, by the stream in Qiantang Village, Hong Wu was dressed in coarse linen clothes and quietly looked at the river in a daze. www.biquge.info He stood here for a long, long time, watching the fish in the water frolic and foraging without blinking, his eyes were blank and empty, as if he had experienced countless springs and autumns.

"It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes......" Suddenly, Hong Wu sighed lightly and put down his hands.

The fish bubble each other in the dry pond to nourish each other, but sooner or later they will die. Only by going to the wider rivers and lakes can we survive. But the river is so big that it will be separated in the blink of an eye, and who will remember whom?

It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes! This is not a realm, but a helpless choice!

"Brother Hong, I've already caught a basket full of fish. Before it gets dark, you have to go to the city, you go home for lunch, my mother hasn't cooked for a long time. Lu Jiewei walked with a bamboo basket on his back and smiled very brightly.

"yes, I know." Hong Wu nodded, finally turned around, and looked at the thin child in front of him gently. A month ago, it was this person who carried himself home, boiling water and pouring soup, and going up the mountain to pick herbs and boil medicines, so that he came to his senses. At this time, Hongwu's body was still very fragile. Many bones, tendons and veins in the body are still broken. Moreover, the vitality of the internal organs is very weak, apparently caused by the severity of the injury.

However, Hua Nianxi's sword, although it pierced his heart, did not completely kill him. Because after Hongwu fell into the lake, the killing sword hidden in the heart began to merge with the bloodline, and it was completely refined in the process of being unconscious. It was precisely because of the complete fusion of the killing sword and his body that Hongwu gradually regained his vitality, and was finally washed away by the undercurrent under Dongnan Lake, and appeared in the stream downstream.

The trajectory of fate is unpredictable, Hong Wu not only did not die, but also met the kind and innocent young man in front of him. However, at this time, his injuries were too serious, and he even hurt the source of his heart. The mana in his body recovered very slowly, and he could barely use any supernatural powers.

"By the way, Williams, since you're going to the city, why don't you catch more than one basket of fish. Isn't it tiring to run at two ends a day? Hong Wu smiled and pointed to the fish basket on Lu Jiewei's back.

"Hey, hey, my mother said, if you fish as hard as you can, there will be no fish. It's enough to catch these today, and the copper plate in exchange can live for several days. Lu Jiewei touched his head and smiled brightly.

"Fishing for ......" Hong Wu's expression suddenly moved, muttered a few words, raised his head and sighed: "Your mother is really a good mother, in fact, you are already very happy." Don't worry, Williams, I will definitely cure your mother's illness. ”

"Eun, thanks to Brother Hong, my mother is much better now." Lu Jiewei nodded again and again, like a chicken pecking rice, and his eyes were full of satisfaction. Since Hong Wu woke up, he was very grateful to the mother and son, and was even more moved by Lu Jiewei's filial piety and life experience. Putting aside his mana powers, he has long been a master of the physical realm, and his martial arts are extremely high. As early as when he was studying art in Fulongshan, he had a lot of research on medical skills. On weekdays, he can cure any bruises and injuries from his brothers' practice.

Xiao Wei Niang's illness was caused by overwork, and after her husband's death, she was in a hurry, although her body was not seriously ill, but her heart disease was difficult to treat. Moreover, lying in bed for many years and drinking herbs, the meridians and internal organs in the body do not know how many medicinal residues and poisons have accumulated, blocking the qi and blood, which makes the body worse day by day. After Hong Wu woke up, he used internal qi to help her dredge her veins, and shocked the waste gas in her body, and her complexion was much better in a few days. However, it is still difficult to recover from a long-term illness. Unless Hongwu recovers his mana and refines Xiao Wei Niang's body with essence and blood vitality, this can cure the root of the disease.

"With Brother Hong here, my mother's illness will definitely be cured. Brother Hong, hurry up and go back to the village, I'll go first. Lu Jiewei nodded, and then walked towards the main road. But at this time, Hong Wu stopped him and stepped up in two steps.

"Let's go together, I haven't moved for more than a month, and it's time to move." Hong Wuchong smiled at the young man and said softly.

"Really?" Lu Jiewei was suddenly overjoyed, Hongwu has always been silent and rarely speaks for more than a month. Most of the time, just like just now, I stood still in silence, and I felt very lonely in my heart. But he didn't talk much, he just watched from afar, lest this big brother do anything stupid. Now that Hong Wu suddenly said that he wanted to accompany him to the city, he was suddenly extremely happy, and hurriedly took Hong Wu's hand and walked on the road leading to the city humming a little song.

Thirty miles southeast of Qiantang Village is a small city in the south of Caiguo. The city is only eight miles in circumference, and it is called Donghu City, which is named after the Dongnan Lake in the south. Hong Wu and Lu Jiewei walked for more than two hours before entering the city gate.

Look at the pedestrians coming and going, or the brightly dressed businessmen and nobles; or the menacing soldier ronin; Or the common people hawkers who bow their heads and waists, Hong Wu can't help but feel a little like a world away in his heart. For more than a month, Hong Wu has been silently looking at the world in his eyes every day, losing interest in anything. I even forgot about cultivation. It seems that Hua Nianxi's sword has already stabbed him to death in Dongnan Lake, isolated from the world.

As soon as Lu Jiewei stepped into the city gate, he ran quickly to the fishmonger's stall. He was already familiar with this part of the road, and as long as he took the fish to the fishmonger and weighed it, he could exchange it for copper plates to supplement the family. Hong Wu quietly followed behind him, watching the thin boy bargain with the vendors, and finally got ten copper plates, and couldn't help but sigh deeply. In this Cai country, the life of the poor people is really too hard. The times are turbulent, and from time to time there are wars with neighboring countries, and I don't know how many people die every year. Lu Jiewei's father was forcibly conscripted and died on the battlefield. It's a pity that there are more than a dozen small countries like Cai Guo in Jizhou, which are precarious in themselves, and there is no pension for the families of these fallen soldiers. Therefore, the people of Jizhou are full of complaints, and they are the most suffering. Only when there is a truce between the nations can their lives be better.

"Ah Wei, after you finish selling the fish, hurry up and leave Donghu City and go home, don't come back for half a month." At this time, the fishmonger pulled Lu Jiewei aside and looked around cautiously for a moment before he whispered in the young man's ear.

"Uncle Chen, what's wrong with you, isn't my fish good?" Lu Jiewei was suddenly startled, and his face turned a little pale, thinking that the other party was unwilling to accept his fish. This is his only source of livelihood, and if he can't sell the fish, he probably won't even be able to eat.

"Silly boy, it's not a fish thing. Early this morning, the general of our Shanle County City brought people over, saying that they were going to recruit soldiers. You're fifteen years old, and if they see you, they'll take you away. The fishmonger nervously recounted, and although it wasn't hot, he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Ah, why are you coming to my Donghu City to recruit soldiers again, it's been less than half a year since the last time!" When Lu Jiewei heard this, he was immediately frightened, and his face became even more ugly. Donghu City is a small city, and even with the dozens of villages outside the city, the population is less than 20,000. There were very few adult men, and they were conscripted twice in the past six months, which made Lu Jiewei afraid.

There are only a few people in total, what if they are arrested to be a strong man, leaving a lonely mother?

"Alas, I heard that there is a powerful general from the Weiguo side, who can kill the war horse with one punch. We, Cai Guo, went to war with them, and I don't know how many soldiers died. Now every family has to send someone to join the army. The people in our Donghu City are okay, these beasts don't dare to mess around. But it will be difficult for you people in the countryside, and if they can't recruit people, they will be in trouble if they go to the village and go from house to house. You'd better go into the mountains and hide, and don't catch any more fish. The fishmonger grabbed Lu Jiewei's hand and explained without bothering, obviously loving this thin teenager very much.

"Conscription?" Hong Wu'er, who was in the distance, moved slightly, and immediately frowned. With his cultivation and martial arts, he could naturally hear what the fishmonger said. If Cai Guo really didn't care about the lives of the people and forcibly arrested the strong men, the young man would be in danger.

At this moment, Lu Jiewei had already said goodbye to the fishmonger and walked out dejected. Seeing Hong Wuzheng looking at himself with his hands behind his back, he smiled and said, "Brother Hong, the fish have been sold, let's go." ”

"Good!" Hongwu smiled and nodded, not saying anything. As long as he is there, no one can touch this young and kind boy. Even if King Cai Guo came over in person, there was only one way to die. The cold glint in Hong Wu's eyes flashed, and he walked side by side with the young man towards the outside of the city.

Drive......

Suddenly, a war horse burst out of the middle of the crowd. Then, a group of soldiers followed, holding Changge, and trotted all the way with the horses. On horseback, there was a dark-skinned, bearded, scarred man. The man was dressed in armor and carried a machete at his waist, apparently a general in the army. When this person rode by, he saw Hong Wu and Lu Jiewei, immediately grabbed the reins, stopped and asked, "You two, where did you come from?" ”

Lu Jiewei was suddenly frightened, and hesitated for a while before he said: "We are from Qiantang Village, what do you have to say?" ”

"Qiantang Village? Is that the village below Dongnan Lake? The Scar Man frowned, as if remembering something.

"Yes, sir." Lu Jiewei hurriedly nodded yes, and he didn't dare to let out the atmosphere. For him, this person dressed as a general is simply high in the sky, for fear that the other party will be unhappy, so he will draw a knife and hack him to death. Lu Jiewei knew in his heart that in this world, human life is like grass mustard, and it is the least valuable. Therefore, he must be patient, bend down and bow his head, and maintain the most respectful posture.

Seeing this, Hong Wu sneered, and pointed at the young man's waist, making him stand up and hold his head high. This scene made a trace of cruelty flash in the eyes of the scarred man, and he didn't care about speaking, and directly ordered: "Take these two away and go!" ”

"Your Excellency!" When Lu Jiewei heard this, his face changed wildly in an instant, and he immediately shouted: "My lord is merciful, I still have a seriously ill mother at home to take care of, and I can't go to the army......" Lu Jiewei's eyes were already moist as he spoke.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. Lord County Guard ordered me to recruit soldiers, and the military orders are like mountains, and I can't delay for a moment, and you two are just right. As soon as the words fell, the soldiers behind him surrounded him and grabbed Lu Jiewei and Hong Wu by the shoulders.

Bang bang!

Only two dull sounds of landing were heard, and the two soldiers who had just started had already flown out upside down and fell on the street three or four feet away. For a while, the crowd shook, and the people who were watching from a distance showed shocked looks. They couldn't believe that in this Donghu City, there were people who dared to disobey military orders and beat soldiers!

"Boy, are you looking for death?" The Scarred Man roared angrily and leaped off his horse. The big knife in his hand had already slashed towards Hong Wu without saying anything.

"Hmph, get out of here!" Hong Wu suddenly snorted coldly, stretched out two fingers to clamp the sharp steel knife. With a slight movement of his wrist, the machete that killed people and drank blood on the battlefield had been shattered into two. The big man with the scar was kicked away by Hongwu and hit the city gate hard.
