Outside the house, there was a lot of noise and shouting, and the window paper printed a ball of firelight, coming and going. Lu Sanchuan had no choice but to respond to the man, nodded and said softly: "There is Brother Lao." The bare feet on the ground became even colder, and they couldn't help but rub each other to keep warm.

The light of the fire followed the figure from east to west, and the outside of the house was silent for a while.

The man gently pushed the door open, poked his head out to look around, and saw that there was no one, so he grabbed Lu Sanchuan's wrist and wanted to escape from the house, but suddenly an exclamation pierced the air.

"Someone in the young master's room was injured!"

Clusters of fire and figures poured out to the east. The footsteps were noisy and numerous, and I was afraid that everyone in Yuan's house would go out of the house to check the situation.

After the sound passed, the man grabbed Lu Sanchuan's wrist, pushed open the door and rushed west.

Lu Sanchuan walked barefoot on the road, the soles of his feet slapped on the floor tiles, and the sound of "popping" was endless.

The man turned his head and glanced at Lu Sanchuan's feet. By the moonlight, Lu Sanchuan saw the person's appearance clearly, with thin eyebrows, long eyes, red lips and white teeth, and a slightly immature face, about the same age as himself. It was hard to imagine that there was such a young person in the Yuan Mansion.

Seeing Lu Sanchuan barefoot, the man hurriedly ripped off his cloth shoes and squatted down to put them on for Lu Sanchuan. Lu Sanchuan refused to do so, and shirked again and again.

The man said: "Young master, your body is a little weak, it's not good to be frozen, it's better to put it on quickly! If you shirk it again, I'm afraid they will find it!"

Lu Sanchuan had no choice but to let the man put the cloth shoes on his feet, and when he rolled his eyes, he couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw his bare feet: "Then what should you do?"

The man smiled and said, "It's okay. He quickly took off his robe and cut it in half with a sword, covering his feet. "Let's go!"

The two of them walked against the wall, their eyes constantly paying attention to their surroundings, if they saw the fire, they hid themselves in the darkness, and if there was silence, they bowed and walked quickly. After a while, I finally came to the side door of the backyard.

The man skillfully took out the bronze key, opened the door, and the two escaped from Yuan's house together.

Lu Sanchuan let out a long breath and was about to run wildly. The man turned around and threw a string of copper keys back into the backyard.

There is no wall in front of the courtyard, and the world is open and boundless. The two of them ran wildly towards the south. The night was cold, and the air inhaled was also extremely cold, stinging the relaxed heart and lungs. Lu Sanchuan didn't care, he was smiling and running wildly. ran out of the way, and finally lost his physical strength, and held on to the wall with his hands and gasped.

The man also stopped, but looked at Lu Sanchuan with a smile as if nothing had happened.

The breath is cold, and the excitement is when he runs wildly, so although the heart and lungs are injured, there is not much pain, and when he stops, the pain will come together. Lu Sanchuan only felt an unbearable pain in his stomach, and he groaned in pain and wanted to squat down.

The man hurriedly strode forward, grabbed Lu Sanchuan's arm and prevented him from squatting, "Young master, although the abdominal pain is unbearable at this time, you can't squat, just walk a few steps quietly, and the abdominal pain will disappear." ”

Lu Sanchuan was already weak and unable to struggle, so he had to be carried by the man and walked forward slowly and leisurely.

The buildings on both sides of the road are towering, dark and muffled. The people in the room were sleeping, and they didn't know that there were two people walking away under the shadow.

Also, in the middle of the night, it was freezing cold, if there was nothing to do, how could you walk outside.

The surroundings are quiet and quiet, only a bright moon overhead looks down on the impermanence of the world. Lu Sanchuan gradually felt a lot better, so he withdrew his hand, stopped and saluted the man, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your righteous assistance, and for daring to ask your name." ”

I saw that the man was also clasping his hands into fists, and the colors were very respectful, without the slightest arrogance and arrogance, "Back to the young master, my surname is Yuan Boyun, and he is the son of the master of the Yuan family." ”

"What?" Lu Sanchuan was taken aback, staring at the young man in front of him who was as delicate as a girl, and couldn't believe his ears.

Yuan Boyun knew that Lu Sanchuan was unacceptable, lowered his head, and repeated Fang Cai's words, but his voice was lower, "My surname is Yuan Boyun, it is... He is the son of the master of the Yuan family. ”

Lu Sanchuan pulled out his legs and wanted to run, but he had exhausted all his strength to escape from Yuan's house, so where did he still have the strength to run again? After only four or five steps, he fell to the ground with a "poof."

Yuan Boyun was shocked in his heart and wanted to step forward to help him up.

Lu Sanchuan refused, and touched his hand to the back of his waist, but he didn't touch the dagger, and then he remembered that he didn't take it back after stabbing the man in black. He had no choice but to choke himself by the neck and threatened, "If you go any further, I will strangle myself!"

Yuan Boyun didn't dare to go forward, and hurriedly said: "Young master, good, okay, I won't go forward anymore." He placed his sword lightly on the ground and raised his hands behind his ears.

Lu Sanchuan no longer had a good impression of Yuan Boyun, stared at Yuan Boyun, slowly stood up, stepped back, and said fiercely: "Don't follow me!"

How can Yuan Boyun rest assured? Lu Sanchuan took a step back, and he took a step forward.

Lu Sanchuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted regardless of his image: "I said don't follow me!" The voice echoed in the alley, even more angry.

When he saw a long sword lying on the ground, he strode to grab it in his hand, drew the sword and put it on Yuan Boyun's neck, and said fiercely: "Is this what Yuan Qiming meant? Did Yuan Qiming send you here to pretend to be kind to me, so as to deceive my trust, and then induce me to hand over the sword?"

Yuan Boyun gasped, and didn't dare to look up at Lu Sanchuan, but said in a low voice: "No, it's not my father's intention." ”

Lu Sanchuan didn't believe it, so he put away his sword and hit Yuan Boyun in the lower abdomen with the hilt of the sword, Yuan Boyun was in pain, covering his lower abdomen and showing pain. Lu Sanchuan did not hesitate at all, and punched Yuan Boyun in the face twice, beating Yuan Boyun to his knees. Seeing that Yuan Boyun hadn't turned his mouth, he was helpless, pointed the tip of his sword at Yuan Boyun's head, and said coldly: "Then why are you following me." ”

Yuan Boyun said in a low voice: "I'm afraid you'll be hurt." ”

"Afraid that I'll get hurt?" Lu Sanchuan suddenly laughed a few times, faint and miserable, "Are you really ignorant of me?" Now that my father is dead, I have become the target of the public, and all of them have come to me for the sword. Afraid that I'll get hurt?haha, do you think I'll believe you?" After a while, the laughter stopped abruptly, Lu Sanchuan's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Say, what do you mean!"

Yuan Boyun glanced up at Lu Sanchuan, and there were tears hidden between his eyes, which made people sympathize, "My father and I have a very ordinary relationship, so naturally he won't give me any instructions." My father is the position of ten lives, strong in martial arts, famous and virtuous, and no one in the rivers and lakes does not respect my father's prestige. However, I am far away from my father, I don't like to practice martial arts, but I like to read, and I eat and sleep together with books every day. My father wanted me to practice martial arts with him, and when he was old enough to inherit his mantle, I would not do it anyway... It's hard to be a man, and it's even harder to be a son of man. ”

These words entered Lu Sanchuan's ears, and the pain was even deeper. His ancestors were all martial arts masters, but in his own generation, he abandoned martial arts and followed literature. He still refused to believe it, put the sword against Yuan Boyun's neck, glared at his eyes and said fiercely: "Lie! How did I not know that Uncle Yuan actually had a child?"

Yuan Boyun smiled bitterly, "My father is strong in martial arts, but I only know a little bit about it... Naturally, he refused to recognize me, and whenever someone asked, he always said that he was childless and lonely... For him, I'm probably dispensable. ”

Lu Sanchuan's arm was weak, the long sword gradually hung down, and finally fell to the ground with a "clang". It's hard to be a man, and it's even harder to be a son of man. He was no longer resentful and resentful, squatted down, helped Yuan Boyun up, and said guiltily: "You are kind to me, but I hurt you, I'm really sorry." ”

Yuan Boyun shook his head with tears in his eyes, "The young master is serious..."

Lu Sanchuan said: "Don't call me young master, call me by my name." ”

Yuan Boyun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Absolutely not! Ling Zun Youen and his father, not to mention it for the time being, just as you and I are concerned, you are one year older than me, if I call you by your name, it is really rude." ”

Lu Sanchuan smiled reluctantly and said, "Then we will be called brothers, how about it?"

Yuan Boyun also smiled, bit his lip and nodded, and said, "Okay... Brother Lu!"

The two turned enemies into friends. It's just that the situation in front of them has not changed, and under the night, the two are separated from each other, and they are very sad.

Yuan Boyun said: "Brother Lu, if you don't dislike it, then go with me to the suburbs to live temporarily! I have built a wooden house at the foot of Jinji Mountain outside Wuchang City. ”

Lu Sanchuan was curious: "How can you have a wooden house there?"

Yuan Boyun smiled embarrassedly, "The Yuan Mansion is full of people, most of them are people from the rivers and lakes, and occasionally they will do it when they don't agree with each other, and the swords will be noisy and noisy. I was disgusted, so I built a wooden house in the wilderness, and when I was upset, I went to live in the wooden house for a while, and the silence around me was silent, and the occasional bird passed by, and the sound was crisp and melodious, and it was very comfortable. ”

Lu Sanchuan listened to his narration, but he also longed to go to that quiet place to enjoy peace, so he said: "That's fine, it's just troublesome Brother Yuan." ”

Yuan Boyun smiled: "No trouble, no trouble." Oh yes, a few days ago when I came back from Jiangzhou, I passed by a small forest, and when I heard someone calling for help, I rushed to see a lonely girl surrounded by a group of bandits. I rescued her, only to find out that her family had been brutally murdered by bandits. Fortunately, I showed up in time, otherwise she would have been trampled by bandits. When I saw that she was helpless, I took her back and put her in a wooden hut where I brought her some food every day. If you go, you can be with her, and the two take care of each other, but they are not lonely. ”

When Lu Sanchuan heard him say that he rushed back from Jiangzhou, he remembered the burned down Lu Mansion, and his grief rose again, invading, and he didn't hear what he said next, until he finished speaking, he hastily responded, "Okay." ”

Yuan Boyun didn't know what he was thinking, and when he answered him with a "good", when he looked forward to it, he smiled and said: "That girl was born like a flower and jade, but she is also a very good match for Brother Lu." We will spend the night under the eaves of others tonight, and we will go to the market to buy some fruits, vegetables, fish and meat until dawn, and then go to Jinji Mountain. ”

Lu Sanchuan replied absentmindedly and stopped talking.
