Chapter 3 Iron Head
Lu Yu sat at the table, holding his chest with one hand, panting slightly, with a painful look on his face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Yu was injured by the palm power of the Dao Sect master, not only was his body damaged, but a part of the Dao Sect True Qi was still left in Lu Yu's body, and he kept making trouble, so that Lu Yu's injury did not improve. Every midnight, Lu Yu's injuries would flare up, and there would be bursts of sharp pain in his internal organs.
In the past month, Lu Yu has had to endure such pain every night.
Also because of the injury, Lu Yu's body was very weak. Not to mention the use of cultivation, even the strength is greatly damaged, which is inferior to ordinary people. In the eyes of others, Lu Yu is a waste with five tuberculosis and seven wounds.
This is also the reason why Lu Yu was picked in the end.
Because the placement of orphans was the responsibility of Xuanmu Zhenren and Muxuan Palace, Lu Yu and the others were all stranded in Muxuan Palace in the end. Xuanmu Zhenren couldn't bear to drive Lu Yu and them out of the sect and leave them to fend for themselves, so they arranged for them to live in the miscellaneous area of Muxuan Palace.
Xuanmu Zhenren did this out of kindness, and those helpless orphans were grateful to Xuanmu Zhenren for this. Only Lu Yu scolded Xuanmu Zhenren in his heart for doing more.
Because of this, Lu Yu's plan to return to Wanwu Valley was abandoned.
There was no way, Lu Yu could only stay in Muxuan Palace temporarily.
Lu Yu's hand pressed against his chest, and he inadvertently touched a cold and hard thing.
As soon as he touched this thing, Lu Yu's face was not only painful, but also had some more attachment and longing.
Lu Yu gently took out the thing from his clothes, held it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefully through the starlight shining in from the window, and his eyes, which had already shed tears once, were actually moist again.
The thing that Lu Yu held in the palm of his hand and regarded as a treasure was a piece of jade.
This is not an ordinary piece of jade, it is called Phantom Spirit Jade, which can be used to cover up and disguise the aura, and even change the appearance of the body. Although it has no attack power, it is a rare treasure.
Using phantom spirit jade to disguise his identity, even a master like Yuyang Zhenren can't find it if he doesn't look closely.
Lu Yu was able to escape under the cover of Xue Wanqiu, and this phantom spirit jade also played a vital role.
But for Lu Yu, the biggest significance of this phantom spirit jade is not to save his life. Or rather, it's not just about saving lives.
This phantom spirit jade was the only thing that Xue Wanqiu left for Lu Yu.
The phantom spirit jade is quite precious, even Xue Wanqiu only has such a piece on her body. At the critical moment, Xue Wanqiu gave it to her son without hesitation.
Now Lu Yu looked at the jade in his hand, as if he saw the reluctant teardrops on his mother's face when she left her.
Lu Yu looked at the jade in his hand until dawn.
The rooster crows and the sun rises, and the morning sun is the first to patronize Lu Yu's hut.
"Brother Lu, I'm here. ”
With a loud shout, Lu Yu's door was opened, and the early morning air rushed into the room at once.
And Lu Yu was also awakened from his memories by this incident, put away the jade in his hand, and looked at the figure that appeared in front of him, with a smile on his face.
The person who came looked as big as Lu Yu, about the same size as Lu Yu, but his body size was stronger than Lu Yu, coupled with his tanned skin and slightly rough palms, he looked like a bitter child who had been in charge since he was a child.
"Iron Head, you're here. ”
The young man called the iron head by Lu Yu smiled at Lu Yu innocently, and walked in with a cloth bag in one hand and a tree stump in the other.
It seemed that Tietou and Lu Yu were already very familiar, and after coming in, he was unceremoniously, threw the stump next to the table, and sat down.
There was no way, there was only one stool in the room, and Lu Yu was sitting on it. The iron head can only find a way to solve it by himself.
Tietou placed the cloth bag on the table and opened it, and inside were several cold steamed buns.
"Brother Lu, you're hungry, hurry up and eat. ”
As he spoke, Tietou grabbed two of them first, one in each hand, and stuffed them into his mouth.
The honest appearance of the iron head also made Lu Yu smile lightly, and he also grabbed a steamed bun and ate it.
It is said that it is steamed bread, but in fact, it is just a few half-cooked dough, which is not only tasteless, but also difficult to swallow.
If it had been placed in the past, no one would have dared to put such food in front of Lu Yu, and Lu Yu would not have known that there was such unpalatable food in this world. But now, Lu Yu can only rely on this kind of food to satisfy his hunger.
In fact, after Lu Yu gritted his teeth and ate it for five days, he slowly got used to this food.
Because Lu Yu's body was weak, he felt almost the same after eating one. And Tietou ate the wind and clouds, and the remaining five steamed buns all went into his stomach.
After eating, Tietou clapped his hands and said to Lin Zhan: "Brother Lu, I'm done eating, I'm going to work." ”
With that, Iron Head stood up, lifted the stump under his buttocks, and walked out.
After Lu Yu cleaned up a little, he also walked out.
This iron head, like Lu Yu, was an orphan who was taken to the Nine Xuan Palace. Like many orphans, his parents were killed in the previous war.
Tietou's original home was in a small village in Qingzhou, and his parents were honest farmers, and they didn't even know a few big characters. After the birth of the iron head, he gave it such a name according to local customs. It is said that his parents did this because the child with this name was so supportive.
The child from a poor background has been in charge of the family for a long time, and Tietou has been working with his parents since he was a child, and he has developed a lot of strength, and he looks stronger than Lu Yu.
It was also for this reason that Tietou was selected by Muxuan Palace to be a handyman, instead of becoming a waste like Lu Yu.
The most obvious gap is that Tietou is wearing a miscellaneous uniform sewn by Jiuxuan Palace, while Lu Yu is still wearing a beggar suit that he found in order to hide people's eyes.
With a "snap", the iron head split an arm-thick piece of wood in half with an axe, which was so clean and neat that it didn't even breathe after it was over.
And the pier used by the iron head to chop wood is the wooden pier he sat on before.
Lu Yu put the chopped wood together on the side and stacked it aside.
After wiping a handful of sweat, Tietou said to the busy Lu Yu: "Brother Lu, you can just leave these jobs for me to do later." You are weak and should rest more. ”
For the kindness of the iron head, Lu Yu smiled and said nothing, just shook his head, and then continued to busy with the work in his hands.
Lu Yu's reaction like this is no longer strange. He had said this to Lu Yu since the first day he came to help, and Lu Yu reacted like this at the time, and said a few words that Tietou couldn't understand.
"Receiving help when you have more than you can afford is a blessing. But if you want others to help you when you can, you are lazy and shameless. If I, Lu Yu, are such a scoundrel, you don't need to help me anymore. ”
In fact, Tietou is not doing his own work now, but helping Lu Yu work.
The sect is not a good hall, although Xuanmu Zhenren arranged Lu Yu, the "orphans" that no one wanted, in his own Muxuan Palace, but he didn't say that he wanted to feed them in vain. If Lu Yu wants to survive here, he has to rely on labor in exchange for food.
Miscellaneous servants like Tietou and waste people like Lu Yu who are not even miscellaneous laborers, Jiuxuan Palace will arrange corresponding labor every day. You can't get food until you've done enough work, or you'll be left to fend for yourself.
This kind of thing, even if it is a Genki real person, there is no way.
Because Lu Yu was seriously injured, his body was weak, and his strength was not as good as that of ordinary children, so he couldn't complete the work arranged by Jiuxuan Palace at all. Because of this, Lu Yu was hungry for five days in a row at the beginning. If Lu Yu hadn't found some wild vegetables to eat around and dug a few mouse holes, he would have starved to death a long time ago.
Just when Lu Yu was about to reunite with his mother in this aggrieved way, by chance, Tietou accidentally found Lu Yu, who was hungry and only had one breath left.
Only then did Lu Yu crawl back from the Ghost Gate.
After that, Tietou has been helping Lu Yu to work, and Lu Yu has only survived until now.
Looking at Lu Yu, who was busy while panting, Tietou scratched his head helplessly.
Knowing that he couldn't persuade Lu Yu, Tietou no longer had to exert himself, spit two mouthfuls of spit on his hands, and then got to work.
Because Lu Yu was weak, Jiuxuan Palace did not arrange much work for Lu Yu. Lu Yu couldn't do the work for a day, and the strong iron head finished it in less than two hours.
By the time all the work was done, it was almost noon. Tietou went to fetch a little water, and then ate some dry food with Lu Yu.
Throwing the last piece of dry food into his mouth, Lu Yu clapped his hands, and then said to Tietou: "Okay, enough rest." Let's get things out. ”
Tietou smiled, quickly took out a slightly worn book from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Lu Yu with both hands.
Lu Yu didn't open the book after taking it, but put it aside.
"You first write down what I taught you yesterday, and I'll see if you're lazy when you go back. ”
"Brother Lu taught me so hard, how dare I be lazy. ”
At this time, Tietou didn't have the simple smile just now, but picked up a branch very seriously and wrote it on the ground one by one.
This is the reason why Tietou is so good and respectful to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu is literate, and Tietou wants Lu Yu to teach him to read.
