The north of Dongsheng is so vast.

Mountains can be seen in the distance, and hundreds of miles of red maple are like fire.

The cool breeze blows and drives away the heat brought by the scorching sun.

It has been five days since I left Gongsun's family, Qin's house, and the wind is rolling in the clouds, the blue sky and the white sun are falling, and there is a figure slowly coming from a distance.

"Brother Lu Chen, I can't walk. ”

The barbarian said, covered in dust and dust, and his face was tired.

Beside him, Lu Chen was still walking slowly, as if he hadn't heard the man's complaints. Those gloomy and gray eyes were like stagnant water, without any ripples or divine light. It's like a withered corpse, lost in its soul, and all that's left is such an ugly skin.

"Brother Lu Chen, the barbarian is so tired, is it okay to take a rest!"

The brute shouted again, his already weak body was already close to the limit, and the corners of his lips were cracked.

She has always insisted on not dragging down Lu Chen's footsteps.

But Man'er is not a monk after all, and Lu Chen is always distracted, he doesn't know what is in his mind, so he just keeps moving forward by himself. I've traveled too far here, I've walked too long, and the barbarian's body can't continue to carry it after all, so it can only be like this.

Hearing the voice, Lu Chen's dead eyes fluctuated slightly, and he also noticed the paleness and tiredness on Man'er's face.

"Take a break. ”

He said and looked around again, but he didn't see any water source.

"You're waiting for me here. ”

After dropping such a sentence, Lu Chen walked straight away, looking for a water source for the barbarian.

The difference between a monk and a mortal is too great.

The barbarian wanted to call Lu Chen back, but his throat was dry and thirsty, and he was a little hoarse, so he couldn't shout too loudly, so he could only watch Lu Chen's figure quickly disappear into the distance. There is a vast area here, the plain is thousands of miles, and you can see the mountains hundreds of miles away, and there are red maples like fire. Under the scorching sun, the breeze is cool, but it can't withstand the heat of the temperature after all.

"I'm so tired..."

She flattened her mouth, showing a little grievance and bitterness on her face, but she quickly reined in and became firm.

Lu Chen went to look for a water source and rushed back in just a moment.

The barbarian also rested here and regained some strength.

"Brother Lu Chen, how long will it take for us to get to the mountain over there?"

After a satisfying drink, Man'er finally exhaled a long breath and fell to the ground on her back, it was the tiredness of her body that made her unable to support it anymore, and she just wanted a good rest.

"It's coming. ”

Again, that's the answer.

These two words, Lu Chen has repeated many times, just like Man'er has asked many times.

At such a distance, crossing the void will be directly crossed, and you can only run on two legs.

"Take a break, I'll carry you away. ”

Lu Chen said again, and sat down beside him, his eyes staring at the hundreds of miles of mountains in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Man'er didn't speak again, she knew that Lu Chen's heart had not completely calmed down, and she was still blaming and regretting the tragic death of her parents. What happened that day became a knot in his heart after all, just like the occasional muttering in his mouth in the past few days, he was angry that he had to comprehend the secret method after the death of his parents. If it had been earlier, that wouldn't have happened.

Human fragility is often revealed unconsciously.

"Brother Lu Chen, I'm rested, let's keep walking. ”

After only a moment, the man regained his strength, and the smile on his face was still the same as before.

Lively and bright, the barbarian is still the barbarian, just like the original barbarian. She takes everything to heart, treats it as the past, and faces it sincerely with her own heart. No matter how painful it is, no matter how terrible it is, it never escapes.

Lu Chen turned his head to look, the divine light in his eyes dimmed slightly, and he sighed again.

More than once, there is always such a sigh.

"I'm not as good as you after all. ”

He said in a low voice, but the barbarian didn't hear it, and accepted Lu Chen's kindness, lying on his back and carrying him forward.

Where the Valley of Hundred Poisons is located, there is a hundred miles of red maple forest.

It's what you can see.

"I still remember the story my father told me when I was a child, that when people die, they turn into stars, and then they have been silently watching the heavens at the people they can't worry about. They can clearly see what people they can't let go of are doing, and they will be happy or sad about it. ”

The barbarian leaned his head on Lu Chen's shoulder and whispered.

"Daddy, and my mother, who I have never seen before, and Uncle Lu and Auntie, must have also become stars and are watching us from the sky. However, Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu will definitely not be happy, but will be sad and cry. The tears that were shed turned into rain. Therefore, it would rain so heavily in Xuanhuang City that day, and they must have cried very sadly. ”

By the end, her voice grew a little weaker.

Lu Chen was always listening.

He bit the corner of his mouth and replied in a low voice.

"So, Brother Lu Chen, you should also be as strong as a brute and face everything bravely. Otherwise, Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu would still cry, and they would also cry very sadly and sadly. They definitely want you to live a happier life, be happier, even if there will be a lot of pain and obstacles, but if you can be stronger, you can definitely overcome it. They won't blame you for what happened, they just don't feel at ease... Brother Lu Chen, don't let Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu worry anymore, okay? I don't want to see you like this..."

Before he could finish speaking, the brute had already fallen asleep.

She was already too tired.

This girl, who had endured the pressure of crossing the void with her physical mortal womb, had persisted in walking for too long, and her body was already overwhelmed.

Lu Chen's footsteps paused slightly, and then turned his head to look at the sleeping man who was leaning on his shoulder. As before, when he was tired of playing, he always carried her back like this, and he would fall asleep on the way. This more delicate face is still so familiar and sleeps so peacefully, but after she really falls asleep, her body is also trembling.

It was clear that she could feel the pain and unbearableness that she had hidden in her heart, but at least on the surface, Man'er was still smiling strongly, and she was comforting him as much as possible.

The sun is scorching, and the breeze brings a little coolness.

A mouthful of hot breath mixed with the wind was inhaled into his chest cavity and slowly exhaled.

Lu Chen smiled reluctantly, still a little stiff.

But at least, there was still a slight light in those eyes that had always been calm and lonely.

"Barbarian... No matter what the ghost mother-in-law asks, I will do it, and you will definitely be fine!"

He said in a low voice, with gentleness and resoluteness in his mouth, and then stepped forward again towards the hundred miles of red maple in the distance.

"It's so affectionate, it's really touching. ”

That voice appeared behind Lu Chen so suddenly, but it was only a stone's throw away, and there were also pitch-black petals coming with the wind and falling in front of Lu Chen.

But it still hasn't stopped.

"Something?"

Lu Chen's voice had regained its calm and indifference.

Treating Black Rose, there is no need to waste his remaining feelings.

"Tsk, treat it differently. ”

The figure of the black rose floated in, still wearing a black dress, and the mask with the carved rose veins on her face. She was lightly under her feet, like a soft butterfly, and easily followed Lu Chen's footsteps and walked side by side with him.

"If I'm looking for you, does it have to be something?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen looked back, and there was a slight strangeness in his eyes.

This man is considered to be kind to him.

If Black Rose hadn't brought the news in advance, I am afraid that on that day, neither he nor Mr. Poison would have been prepared, and I am afraid that he and the barbarian would not have survived.

"Whatever you want. ”

In this way, Lu Chen only shook his head and sighed, and did not refuse this woman's companion.

"The barbarian girl is indeed a stunning beauty, and she is also the body of the furnace, and she has such a beautiful mother. In another year or two, this girl will definitely be more delicate. Sure enough, she is more attractive to you. ”

Black Rose laughed playfully.

Lu Chen's eyes showed a little rejection, he didn't like such jokes, and he turned his head.

"I only think of her as a sister. ”

"Yes, sister. ”

Black Rose nodded slightly in acceptance, and then turned her gaze to the front as well, looking at the fiery maple forest swaying in the wind, her face gradually becoming serious, and she didn't mean to joke anymore.

"The Ren family and Liangyimen have gone to Purgatory to buy news about the two of you. But this time they didn't succeed, or rather, the methods of the head of the Gongsun family and Gongsun Liang were really outstanding. Before the Ren family and the Liangyi Sect made a move, the Gongsun family threw out the price of the two gods, and asked the purgatory to seal any news of your whereabouts. At such a price, Purgatory was naturally tempted and agreed. ”

After a pause, she burst out laughing again, but a little doubt flashed in her eyes.

The Ren family and Liangyimen did not give up, and then found the Su family. You should know that the Su family, a family that has become powerful by doing business, also has an intelligence network that cannot be compared with ordinary forces. But the result is very interesting, the Su family did not get any benefits, but they also refused to sell any news about you and the barbarian. ”

"Master Su, good people. ”

Lu Chen listened all the time, and then he said.

Hearing this, Black Rose nodded slightly, not surprised.

"You have a relationship with the Su family, although I don't know what's going on, but if not, it's a little too unusual for the Su family to do this. After all, the business of door-to-door delivery is not normal for the Su family. ”

"That's all you have to say?"

Lu Chen turned his head to look, narrowing his eyes and being a little suspicious.

"In order to put you at ease for the time being, at least with the skills of the Ren family and the Liangyi Gate, they won't find you in a short time. ”

Black Rose didn't care about Lu Chen's attitude, as casual as ever.

"In addition, there is one more thing I want to tell you, which has something to do with the brute girl on your back. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen's feet immediately paused, and his figure stopped suddenly, with vigilance and doubt in his eyes.

The black rose also reacted very quickly, only stopped after a moment's whirl, and then suddenly invaded the front, her fingers hooked Lu Chen's chin, and her eyes were full of playful smiles.

"The ghost mother-in-law of the Hundred Poison Valley had some grievances and entanglements with Mr. Poison Medicine, and no one even knew about this matter. So, you'd better not mention Mr. Poison about it, because you can't get away with it. But you also have to be mentally prepared, after all, the ghost mother-in-law is very familiar with Mr. Poison, and you can't tell what you will find out from the poison hidden in the brute's body. At that time..."

After that, the smile on the corner of her lips became more and more obvious, and then only the falling petals and a faint fragrance were left, and her figure disappeared completely in place in a flash, without a trace.
