254. Luo Xiang
In the following time, Lu Chen has been lying on the wooden bed and recuperating quietly, and all his daily life is taken care of by the cloth-clothed young man.
It is also strange to say that although this young man named Luo Xiang seems to be indifferent and fierce, he is very good at taking care of patients, and he has served Lu Chen with all his heart for half a month, and he has no complaints at all.
Lu Chen has been recuperating for more than half a month, and he can always barely walk around, but he can't go too far, and if he has a slightly larger range of motion, it will affect the serious injuries in his body, and he feels like an old man in the twilight.
The nearly fractured right arm was completely immobilized and was caught in the plank. He can't have the slightest strenuous activity, the slightest injury is affected, the internal organs seem to be torn, and the whole person will faint in pain.
Luo Xiang looked like he was walking in pain, so he sharpened a wooden stick for him to make a crutch.
On this day, it was already sunset, and Lu Chen walked to the edge of the cliff on crutches, leisurely enjoying the scenery at dusk.
It has already started spring, the flowers and trees in the canyon are full of vitality, the green is green, the fiery red camellia flowers bloom all over the mountain, look at it from a distance, as if the canyon is dyed red, the fairyland of the world, the beautiful scenery looks refreshing.
On the high mountain not far away, there is a pavilion building, and every morning at ten o'clock, you can vaguely see a series of figures shuttling and flickering, and there are bursts of sounds similar to fights.
A mountain path winds its way down the mountain, connecting a suspension bridge to Lu Chen's side.
At dusk, a thin figure walked slowly from the suspension bridge with a bamboo basket on his back, and saw Lu Chen sitting on the edge of the cliff from a distance, and suddenly showed a look of surprise.
After spending a while, Luo Xiang came to Lu Chen, looked at him and said indifferently: "What are you doing here, patients can't blow the wind, they are easy to contract typhoid fever!"
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Don't get in the way, the wind here is very comfortable!"
"Hmph, I know that Cheng Neng, why didn't I throw you into the river and drown that day!" Luo Xiang rolled his eyes, cursed in a low voice, and turned around and walked into the thatched house not far away.
Lu Chen asked, "Why are you going?"
"You're blind, I've brought some herbs back, of course it's to boil medicine!" Luo Xiang didn't reply, and spoke unceremoniously.
Lu Chen smiled dumbly: "This kid is typical of being cold on the outside and hot on the inside!"
After a while, the herbs were boiled and brought directly to Lu Chen.
Luo Xiang turned around and ran to the grass in front of the thatched hut and began to practice his fists and feet, one move and one style, looking presentable.
Lu Chen sat on the hillside full of weeds, drinking the bitter decoction, and watched this scene lightly.
During the time he spent with Luo Xiang, he also knew some details about the other party.
Luo Xiang is fourteen years old this year, his parents are dead, I don't know who taught him, he knows some pharmacology, he makes a living by collecting medicine in the mountains, and he learned martial arts under the Iron Sword Gate two years ago.
It's a pity that this kid was born with small muscles and veins, a weak physique, and extremely slow to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, so he is not suitable for martial arts training at all.
It's a pity that this kid has a very stubborn personality, he doesn't listen to anyone's advice, he never gives up learning martial arts, he wants to become stronger to change his fate, and he is eager to get out of this mountain, unwilling to be mediocre for a lifetime.
"Hey, that's not how you practice martial arts!" Lu Chen shouted from the top of the hillside.
Luo Xiang turned a deaf ear, kicked and beat hard at a thick wooden stake where the two of them were hugging, punch after punch, the wooden stake was beaten and fluffy, and he himself was sweating like rain.
After nearly two hours, his clothes were soaked with sweat.
When night fell, Luo Xiang dragged his tired body back to the thatched house, simply washed his body with water, and then began to cook on the fire.
Lu Chen took advantage of this period of recuperation to slowly recuperate his body, and such days lasted for nearly a month, and his right arm was finally healed and returned to its previous state.
On this day, Luo Xiang had just come back from collecting medicine from the woods, and had just walked to the grass, when suddenly a group of teenagers appeared out of nowhere and surrounded him.
The leader was a sturdy and richly dressed blue-robed young man, and when he saw Luo Xiang's indifferent look, he immediately pointed at his face and scolded loudly: "Boy, you are very fat, you actually dare to pursue Su Ziyan, do you want to die?"
Luo Xiong carried the bamboo basket on his back, his face was fearless, and he said with a cold face: "Su Ziyan is not from anyone's family, what qualifications do you have to stop me!"
"Hmph, Su Ziyan is my Chen Jianfei's future wife, and no one is allowed to pay attention to him, including you. I advise you to be interesting, don't feel uncomfortable!" Chen Jianfei crossed his arms and looked at Luo Xiang condescendingly.
Luo Xiang said bluntly: "Su Yan won't like you, she has a very high vision!"
"It's ridiculous, she doesn't like me, so will she like you? Don't look at your virtue, a clay legged, like a beggar all day long, are you qualified to pursue her?" Chen Jianfei laughed, with undisguised disdain on his face.
Luo Xiang said: "I will work hard!"
"Haha, work hard, did the brothers hear it, he said he wants to work hard!" Chen Jianfei pointed at Luo Xiang's nose and sneered, as if he had heard a big joke, causing a group of people to laugh around him.
Chen Jianfei restrained his smile and scolded word by word: "Miscellaneous, you remember for me, Lao Tzu is Chen Jianfei, the day after tomorrow fivefold, my father is Chen Yunhai, the elder of the Iron Sword Gate, Su Yan is the most beautiful girl in our Iron Sword Gate, only I can be worthy of her!
"That's right, our boss is the strongest genius of the Iron Sword Sect!"
"Su Ziyan and our boss are the best match!"
The surrounding group of people echoed loudly, all flattering and holding Chen Jianfei to the sky.
Luo Xiangtie blushed, gritted his teeth and looked at the other party, without saying a word.
What the other party said was the truth, he was really not qualified to pursue Su Ziyan, he had no background, he had no talent, he was born in a poor family, what qualifications did he have to pursue the most beautiful girl in Tiejianmen?
Besides, Su Yanran's vision has always been very high, he has a few pounds and a few taels very well in his heart, although he secretly likes each other in his heart, but he has never had the courage to confess.
"Brothers, beat him up for Lao Tzu, let him have a long memory, what will the fate of offending me look like!" Chen Jianfei waved his hand, and a group of teenagers around him rushed up, punching and kicking Luo Xiang frantically.
Countless fists smashed down, Luo Chen didn't run or dodge, he fell directly on the grass and held his head and let them kick and beat.
After a while, Chen Jianfei gave some vent and led a group of people to leave.
Luo Xiang got up from the mud pile in embarrassment, patted his clothes full of footprints nonchalantly, picked up the bamboo basket on the ground, and limped towards the thatched house, his whole face was blue and purple, very embarrassed.
"Yo, what's the matter, it's swollen like a pig's head!" Lu Chen leaned against the thatched hut, and when he saw Luo Xiang's embarrassed appearance, he couldn't help but laugh loudly.
Luo Xiang glanced at him coldly, and cursed, "Get out!" turned around and went into the thatched hut and boiled herbs.
It was as if nothing had happened.
The scene of Luo Xiang being beaten up by someone was actually seen by Lu Chen a long time ago, but he had been standing by and watching, and did not interfere.
Why didn't he intervene, because he was observing Luo Xiang, there was something in this kid that aroused his great interest.
Besides, when children fight, he can't interfere!
In the evening, Luo Xiang still ran to the foot of the mountain alone and began to practice boxing according to his previous habits.
Peng, Peng, Peng! punched the stake, making a series of muffled sounds.
"It's really hard enough!" Lu Chen sat on the hillside, shaking his head and laughing.
Over the past few days, most of his flesh injuries have gradually recovered with the help of Luo Xiang, but the injuries in his body are even more serious than he imagined.
According to his estimates, if he runs the 'Dragon Python Swallowing Yuan Jue' day after day, it will take at least a month or even longer to restore his body to its peak state.
As night fell, after Luo Xiang squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body, he crawled to Lu Chen's side and lay down exhausted, looking at the brilliant stars above his head, gasping for breath.
"Boy, you were beaten during the day, why didn't you resist?" Lu Chen asked with a light smile.
Luo Xiang said: "I can't beat them!"
"Why don't you run!"
Luo Xiang shook his head and said, "I don't want to run!"
"Why?" Lu Chen said with interest.
Luo Xiang responded: "In that case, I can't escape at all. It's better to let them beat up and get angry, they won't be able to die anyway!"
"You really have courage!" Lu Chen said sarcastically with a smile.
Luo Chen said angrily: "You know a fart, it's useless to escape some troubles, you always have to face them." Since he came, he caught it, what is there to be afraid of, I have never been afraid of difficulties. ”
Lu Chen looked at the other party in surprise: "Who taught you this!"
"My mother!" Luo Xiang turned his head to look at the mound next to the thatched house, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "My mother also told me before she died, even if you are in a low valley, you must look up at the starry sky! She said that as long as you work hard, your dream will eventually come true." ”
"Even if you are in a low valley, you have to look up at the starry sky!" Lu Chen propped his hands on the ground, looked up at the brilliant galaxy above his head, and said with emotion: "That's really good!"
"Well, my mother has to teach me since I was a child, face all difficulties, and move forward towards my dream step by step!" Luo Xiang said with his head held high, with a look of longing.
Lu Chen touched the other party's head: "Your mother is so great!"
"Of course!" Luo Xiang said proudly.
Lu Chen quipped: "I heard that the reason why you were beaten was because of a girl you like?"
"I want you to take care of it!" Luo Xiang said angrily, his whole little face turned red.
Lu Chen asked, "How does that girl look, isn't she beautiful!"
"It's your business!" Luo Xiang didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, struggled to get up from the grass, turned around and walked towards the thatched house.
"Hey, boy, do you want me to teach you boxing, I can make you stronger!" Lu Chen shouted from behind.
Luo Xiang sneered without looking back: "Nonsense, forget it, you can forget it, you were almost crippled by someone, and you came to teach me, ridiculous!"
Lu Chen was stunned for a while when he heard this, Luo Xiang's words made him cry and laugh, he was a dignified and congenital powerhouse, but he was despised by a teenager, and when he said it, it made people laugh out of his big teeth!
