Lu Yang was really not used to water. After falling into the water, he drank a few mouthfuls of water and soon passed out.
Unknown to Lu Yang, he was lucky or was destined to die. He rushed downstream along the fast river and finally rushed to the river beach. The morning sun shone on the earth, and a new day began again. By the river
Many birds flew over, drinking water and making chirping sounds.
Although the sound was not loud, it still echoed in the quiet morning. Some bold birds even flew to Lu Yang. They might also want to know whether the young man lying by the river was alive or dead.
Lu Yang's eyelashes fluttered and he immediately felt itchy on his face. He subconsciously raised his hand. As soon as he raised his hand, he felt severe pain in his shoulder.
This pain also made Lu Yang wake up completely from his coma. The moment he opened his eyes, a thought echoed in his mind: Am I not dead yet?
Lu Yang realized that he was not dead, so he stood up with difficulty and looked around.
The birds were also frightened by Lu Yang's movements, flapped their wings, and flew up to the treetops not far away.
The river in front of him was already the lower reaches of the Chutian River. There was a shoal here. When the river water rushed here, some things could be washed ashore. Lu Yang took a look around and saw that there were debris everywhere, including animal bones and rotten things.
There were pieces of wood, some tattered clothes and other things, and even large rotting fish could be seen, emitting a fishy smell.
Lu Yang took a deep breath, and his thoughts instantly returned to what happened before he jumped into the water. Those things flashed through his mind like a drama, especially the words his mother said before she died, which were engraved in his heart like a brand.
Lu Yang felt his heart aching, which made him suffocate. He clenched his fists, looked up to the sky and roared, turned around and walked towards the shore.
Lu Yang's originally innocent eyes turned deep, and they didn't look like those of a thirteen-year-old child at all. A person's change often begins with the occurrence of an unforgettable event, which makes him slowly mature.
Becoming a boy and becoming a man. The death of Lu Yang's mother made him mature early and began to learn to think independently.
Lu Yang raised his head and looked forward. There was a dense forest not far away. He hesitated for a while and finally decided to walk into the forest. He was not dead. As long as Lu Tao was not a fool, he would definitely send people along the river to Chutian.
Searching the lower reaches of the river. If you are still wandering by the river now, you may be discovered by the men sent by Lu Tao at some time. By then, you will have no chance to escape.
Lu Yang felt severe pain in his body. The area that had been scratched by thorns had been soaked in water for a long time and had turned white. He was limping when he walked. Lu Yang gritted his teeth and endured, not letting himself make any sound. Approximately
After walking for half a stick of incense, Lu Yang felt that the surroundings were safe. He came to a big tree and suddenly exerted force on his feet. He stepped towards the tree with his left foot, and his body jumped up using the force.
In the air, Lu Yang waved his right hand and grabbed a few green fruits on the tree. When his body fell, the green fruits had fallen firmly into his hands. But after landing, his legs trembled and there was blood on the wounds.
The blood flowed out and stained his trouser legs red. Under the severe pain, Lu Yang staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Lu Yang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, put Qing Guo down, tore off a piece of cloth from his arm's clothes, and bandaged the wound. This series of movements could be described as smooth and skillful.
It is unimaginable. If someone who is not familiar with Lu Yang sees it, he will definitely think that he has done such a thing more than once.
But is it really so?
The answer, of course, is no.
Lu Yang was injured for the first time and was bandaged first, but he had done it many times on the back mountain to pick green fruits from trees.
These survival skills were all told to Lu Yang by Su Rui when he was fine. At that time, although Lu Yang listened carefully, he didn't take it too seriously. He thought that the possibility of using it was almost zero. Now think about it
, Lu Yang realized that his mother had already thought of today's scene and told him these survival skills, and she told him in such detail.
Lu Yang really regretted why he didn't listen to his mother and reject his father's proposal. He thought it was a good thing. He thought he could take his mother out of the Lu Mansion after learning martial arts, but he didn't expect such a result. Lu Yang's eyes flashed
He felt a murderous intention, and his heart was very cold. At this moment, he only had one wish, and that was to avenge his mother.
Lu Yang knew in his heart that facing the huge Lu family, he had only two ways to take revenge. One was to go to his father, tell him the cause of his mother's death, and ask his father to stand up for his mother. The second way was to learn martial arts.
When your physical skills have reached the late stage of the Great Perfection, you can go directly to the Lu Mansion to settle accounts with Lu Tao.
The first method seems simple, but it is extremely difficult to actually do it. Let’s not talk about whether we can enter the Lu Mansion and find the father. Even if he is found, if the father believes in himself, can he avenge his dead mother? There is no mother in the Lu Mansion.
Her status is not even that of a concubine. Even if her father wanted to take revenge, the elders in the family would not agree.
When Lu Yang thought of this, he knew that the first method was not feasible. He had a big reason for his mother's death. If he hadn't learned physical skills from his father, his mother would not have died. Lu Yang knew that practicing physical skills was difficult.
It is extremely difficult to reach an extremely high state. He is not afraid of anything. He just wants to find a place where he can practice physical skills.
At this time, Lu Yang remembered something his mother had said before. If one day he left the Lu Mansion, he could find a small family. That family had some old relationship with his mother and would take him in. Lu Yang thought about it, and it seemed true.
I have to go to that family. Now I have to take care of eating and dressing first before I have time to practice physical skills.
Lu Yang only knew an address and didn't know where the family was. He walked in one direction and walked for more than an hour before finally walking out of the woods. There was a three-foot-wide official road ten feet ahead.
Road, you can vaguely see carriages passing by on the official road, and there are many middle-aged men dressed as farmers with hoes on their shoulders.
Lu Yang knew that the people in these carriages had unusual identities. There might be people from the Lu family in that carriage. He hid in the woods and waited until the carriages were no longer visible on the official road before heading towards the road.
Run. Lu Yang's feet were very fast and he rushed to a farmer in one stride. He had to return to the woods before the next carriage came.
It was an old man of nearly fifty years old, carrying a hoe on his way home. He was quite strong, with a beard all over his chin, and the wrinkles on his face were filled with the vicissitudes of time.
The speed of Lu Yang's feet was too much, and the old man did not pay attention to his surroundings. He was startled when he saw a figure suddenly appear, and almost fell to the ground, "Are you a human or a ghost..."
Lu Yang didn't expect such a scene to happen. He was slightly startled. After all, he had practiced Taishu Boxing for a while and his reaction was quite fast. He quickly raised his hands to support the old man and said: "Grandpa, I am not a bad person. I think
I want to ask you the way, can you tell me?" He held the old man's hand and spread it out to show that he meant no harm.
The old man looked up and down a few times, nodded and said: "Little guy, why did you come here alone to play in the water? What if you fall into the river?"
Lu Yang smiled bitterly in his heart. It turned out that the old man regarded him as a child who came here to play in the water, so he said: "Grandpa, I was stupid and went out to play without thinking too much. Now I can't find my way home.
, can you tell me? I promise you that I will never come out to play in the water again."
Seeing that Lu Yang was an obedient and sensible child, the old man touched Lu Yang's forehead and said with a smile: "Your kid is much more sensible than my kids. Since you know you are wrong, tell me where you are.
I'll take you there."
"Tianyuan County, Hechong County, Duan Family Mansion." After Lu Yang answered the address, seeing the old man's expression change, he hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
The old man did not answer his words, but asked nervously: "You, your surname is Duan?"
"No, my surname is not Duan." Lu Yang knew what was going on in a blink of an eye, and said hurriedly, "I am not from the Duan family, and I have nothing to do with the Duan family."
The old man frowned and said in confusion: "You have nothing to do with the Duan family, why are you going to the Duan family?"
Lu Yang was just about to tell what happened, but something came to his mind. He swallowed his words again and changed his words: "Grandpa, I am the son of a guard of the Duan family. Because my father... dad has made meritorious service to the Duan family, so the Duan family rewards him."
My father lives in a house not far from the Duan family's residence. I'm afraid to tell you the specific street, grandpa, you don't know."
Lu Yang wanted to say father, but then he thought that such a title was only found in big families, and ordinary people would call him dad.
When the old man heard this, he no longer had any doubts. He shrugged his shoulders and said: "So that's it. You scared me to death. If you were Lord Duan's eldest son, I really wouldn't dare to send you away."
Go back. But you were right just now. I have been to Hechong County once, and apart from a few larger mansions, I really don’t know the names of the streets!"
In the Kingdom of Western Chu, there are five levels of titles, namely Duke, Marquis and Bozinan, who obtain different titles according to their merits. The Duke is the largest and can own a large territory, and the Baron is the smallest. Under normal circumstances, other titles except Baron can be hereditary.
Of course there are exceptions. The Duan family is a hereditary baron, and the eldest son of these hereditary families is called the heir apparent.
Lu Yang's face lit up, he bent down and saluted, "Grandpa, please lead the way."
The old man touched the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "Children in the city are sensible. Come on, I will take you there right now."
Lu Yang didn't dare to go through official channels, so he hurriedly said: "Grandpa, I'm afraid that my father will send someone to look for me, and he will definitely beat me when he finds me, so I want to go back secretly, so that my mother can..."
Although he didn't finish what he said, the old man could understand it completely. He thought for a moment and said, "I can promise you, but I must admit my mistake to your father when I go back. Can you do it, my dear?"
Lu Yang nodded heavily and said, "Grandpa, please don't worry, I will definitely admit my mistake to daddy."
