Chapter 5 Making a Wooden Sign(1/2)
Amidst the crackling of the flames, Leng Yingchun turned around and looked at the gangster boy staring above his head, asking in a low voice, "My name is Leng Yingchun, what's your name?"
The Jianghu boy didn't answer for a long time. Just when Leng Yingchun thought he wouldn't answer, he said softly, "No name."
Leng Yingchun was stunned, guessing that he didn't want to mention his past, so he concealed his name.
"Can you give me a name?" The Jianghu boy looked expectantly in his eyes.
"Leng Yinghuan, how about cooling down and welcoming the joy?" The name flashed in Leng Yingchun's mind.
"Ying Huan, Ying Huan!" The Jianghu boy murmured the name in a low voice, "I like it very much!"
Leng Yingchun said nothing, so he set up a wooden shelf, filled the bamboo pot with water, and put it on it to cook.
Leng Yinghuan looked at Leng Yingchun intently. Leng Yingchun felt a little uncomfortable and asked for a topic, "What are your plans next?"
"I can't go back to the world, and I don't want to live a wandering life like Master. I will accompany you wherever you want to go." Leng Yinghuan smiled lowly.
"Those people don't seem to want to let you go. You may not be able to stay out of it. They will find you sooner or later. You'd better find someone who can help you tide over the difficulties."
Leng Yingchun felt that he should find some martial arts masters to improve his martial arts so that he could resist the killer's pursuit.
"I'm not as important as my master. They will forget me soon, and you are the one who can help me tide over the difficulties. Without you, I am doomed." Leng Yinghuan said leisurely, "From today on, wherever you go,
Wherever I go, whatever you do, I will do!"
"Haha!" Leng Yingchun chuckled, "I fled from the north. I want to go to the south to reclaim wasteland and grow rice. I will deal with crops all my life and be a useless person. Do you want to follow me?"
"Follow!" Leng Yinghuan nodded, "I disguised myself as an ordinary farm boy, just enough to withstand the pursuit of those people."
Leng Yingchun did not answer. To a certain extent, Leng Yinghuan already knew that she had space.
If he is allowed to leave, and if he spreads the word everywhere, many people will definitely be interested in the jade ring. Will she become the target of those people's pursuit?
Living a wandering life is quite dangerous when you think about it. It would be better to leave him by your side, but he would have a helper and he would not die so quickly.
When the water boiled, Leng Yingchun used firewood to take it out of the bamboo can and set it aside.
When the water cooled down, she brought the bamboo can in front of Leng Yinghuan, helped him up, and carefully fed him some water.
"Thank you!" Leng Yinghuan thanked her sincerely.
"You're welcome!" Leng Yingchun put him down, "Have a good sleep and wait until you are healed."
"Everything is at your discretion." Leng Yinghuan nodded.
Leng Yinghuan rested in the space for a month. Under Leng Yingchun's careful care, his body finally recovered.
He also knew that Leng Yingchun could come and go here freely.
He didn't know why Leng Yingchun had this fantasy-looking room.
He asked her, but she didn't answer directly, only said that it was passed down from ancestors.
She brought a lot of daily necessities from outside and made it a comfortable room.
However, that door was impenetrable and they had not opened it for a long time, not knowing where it led outside.
After many unsuccessful attempts, they gave up exploring the world outside the door.
"You have recovered your health. I have also walked a long way outside, around many mountain peaks and grasslands. Those in the world would never have guessed that we would come here. You should be safe and have been to your place.
Live."
Leng Yingchun felt that with this boy by her side, she seemed to be constrained in doing things and it was not convenient.
"Didn't I tell you that I will fight you to the end?" Leng Yinghuan was a little unhappy. Was his words so difficult to understand?
She actually didn't understand what he meant and wanted to drive him away.
He has been used as a shield by his master and is actually dead. She is his savior. If he has anything valuable on him, he has no choice but to stay with her to repay her.
After all, he has some martial arts and can help her deal with people who approach her with bad intentions.
"I am an ordinary citizen, and you are a member of the Jianghu. We have different opinions and cannot work together, let alone stay together. What should I do if you drag me down?"
Leng Yingchun responded indifferently.
After being inexplicably abandoned by the young Marquis, she understood that she was the only one making her way in this world.
She didn't want Leng Yinghuan to be like the young Marquis. After he had been with her for a long time and they had developed feelings for each other and made her feel that he would be a relative, he proposed to leave and abandoned her again.
"I won't drag you down. If you want to farm, I will help you farm. If you want to go up the mountain to chop trees, I will help you chop trees. Even if you ask me to do something bad for you, I will agree to it."
In order to be able to stay, Leng Yinghuan had begged Leng Yingchun to stay with him in such a low voice. He didn't know why he had to sink into the dust.
Perhaps the master hurt him too deeply, and his heart, liver, spleen and stomach were not in the right state, and he didn't want to put in all the effort to integrate into the world of Jianghu, that bloody place.
What's more, he was homeless and could only use Leng Yingchun as a life-saving straw.
"Why do those people want to kill you? You always want revenge, right? Let's do this, 'Send Buddha to the West, and help others to the end!' Where are your relatives and friends? I will take you to find them."
Leng Yingchun made the final compromise.
"No, no, I'm not going anywhere!" Leng Yinghuan stood up and scolded Leng Yingchun. Seeing her relaxed expression, he thought she was hurt, so he lowered his tone and said, "Always stay with me.
You’re fine!”
"In this case, I'll put the ugly words in front of you. If you can't adapt to my life, you can only leave my world and go back to your place!" Leng Yingchun saw how stubborn he was and agreed.
"It's a deal!" Leng Yinghuan was extremely happy.
"If you stay here all the time, no matter how healthy you are, you will suffer from suffocation. From today on, we will live in the outside world. Just forget about this place."
Leng Yingchun met a lot of people while walking, and she was worried that she would go in and out of the space and disappear from the world in a short while. It would be easy for those people to observe something strange, so they would conduct a careful investigation on her.
It would be over if they discovered the secret of space.
She knows that holding a jade is a crime, as a little carelessness can lead to death. She also wants to live longer in this world, so she must be careful in everything.
"Okay!" Leng Yinghuan had already wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, Leng Yingchun thought that he had to take good care of his body and kept restricting his behavior. He didn't know how to find space, so he stayed here for so long.
Just as he was distracted, he and Leng Yingchun appeared in a woods.
"Why can't we go further? Do we have to appear in the woods?" Leng Yinghuan complained slightly.
When he thought about the scene of being chased by Jianghu people, he felt that the woods were not an auspicious place, so he should stay away if possible.
"I entered the space through the pile of rocks in front of me. As for how I ended up here, I don't understand."
Leng Yingchun turned around and pointed at the rocky ground.
"Let's go!" Leng Yinghuan walked in front.
"If you meet someone who asks about our relationship, just say that you are my brother and that we escaped from Deepwater Pond." Leng Yingchun decided to agree on the title.
Leng Yinghuan stopped and gestured with her and Leng Yingchun's heads with her hand, "The height trend is clear at a glance. Obviously I am your brother!"
"Look at you, you are skinny and dark, and you don't look nutritious at all. Look at me, with the vicissitudes of life on your face, you are obviously older than you."
Leng Yingchun still wanted to be a sister, so that she could give orders to Leng Yinghuan.
"I'm thirteen years old, and I'm new to you. What about you?"
Leng Yinghuan folded his arms and looked at Leng Yingchun leisurely.
"You're older than me, so I'll call you brother. That's okay!"
Leng Yingchun was helpless. Compared with the age of the original owner, he had to look younger.
"Hey, sister is good!" Leng Yinghuan was very happy.
He suddenly felt that if he called her brother and sister, he would not be able to marry her if he fell in love with her in the future. He immediately regretted it, "It's better not to call her brother and sister, just call her childhood sweetheart."
"It's not that simple to get a wife for free. You are my brother and I can still wrong you. It's settled. If you object, then get out of my sight!" Leng Yingchun sneered and walked forward.
I thought that this ancient boy was relatively precocious and knew how to settle on a wife at such a young age to avoid being single later.
How could she, an adult woman of the new era, fall for a boy from ancient times?
"Okay then!" Leng Yinghuan compromised and chased after you, "I see you don't have a wooden sign on your body. The most urgent thing is, let's find a place to carve the sign out."
Can I make my own ID card? Doesn’t it have to be organized by the government?
She was also thinking about how much it would cost to ask someone to take care of it.
"You have never left Deep Water Pond, don't you know that small wooden signs show your identity?"
Leng Yinghuan somewhat admired Leng Yingchun, a little farm girl who escaped from famine in a remote area. How could she be so courageous? She dared to go south alone.
"I really don't know!" Leng Yingchun looked at Leng Yinghuan's waist, which was empty, and asked, "What about yours?"
"My? Well, actually, it is not necessary to travel around the world. Haha, everyone depends on style. Whoever has strong martial arts skills will be famous among the people in the world, such as the Southern Hero and the Northern Thief..."
Leng Yinghuan chattered all the way and told Leng Yingchun the names of Jianghu people.
"Actually, you yearn for the world. You want to be admired like them and have a famous name, right?"
Leng Yingchunguang saw Leng Yinghuan's expression and immediately saw what he meant.
"You, you misunderstood, Jianghu, I, I will not go back."
Leng Yinghuan's eyes averted. He always felt that Leng Yingchun didn't look like a little girl in her teens, but more likely in her twenties. Just like those chivalrous women, her thoughts were frighteningly mature.
