As blood and tears dripped, Shiren's eyes looking at Jingxue became more and more blurred, as if he had returned to the last summer of August ten years ago, when Wei Yicheng had been raining for days, and the entire southwest was shrouded in dark clouds.
In a small town in the southwest, the folk customs here are strong and one of the few in the world. Drawing swords and fighting for one's life over disagreements often occurs. It is also a place where "class identity" is the most stringent. Here, feminism and class are mixed with each other, and backwardness It is also barbaric and is known as the hometown of warriors. Now it has become a tourist attraction.
Tokihito, a servant of the Lu family, and Yue Zang, a junior warrior, were wandering in the mountains.
"I'm talking about Yue Zang... You are a security soldier appointed by the leader of Wei Yicheng. You openly skipped work and accompanied me to pick mushrooms in the mountains. Do you think this is good?"
The speaker was Tokihito, a fourteen-year-old boy with bare feet and a bamboo basket on his back. His clothes were in tatters, but his arms were strong, and his muscles were even more visible after sweating.
The warrior accompanying him was Yue Zang, who was one year older than Tokihito. He had superb swordsmanship and was upright in his actions.
Unfortunately, he comes from a poor background and has a low class. His talents have not been reused yet. Now he is trapped by love and his body is even thinner than Tokihito's.
"Oh, security guard, that's really nice to say. I wander around the city all day long, catching some sneaky little guys. Is this the reason why I, Yue Zang, am practicing!"
"Then you definitely don't practice martial arts just to pick mushrooms." Tokihito smiled, "Besides, the reason why you help me is because Miss Lu San likes to eat mushrooms the most. Whenever she gets greedy, I have to carry a basket on my back. Go up the mountain.”
Yue Zang, a warrior in black, lamented: "I envy you so much. I get to see you every day."
"You said this too lightly." Shiren raised his bare left foot.
Shiren smiled and shouted to Yue Zang: "Look, the difference between a servant and a lower-level warrior. I'm not even qualified to wear shoes. I think only Southwest can do such unreasonable rules. Yue Zang Ah! I dream of wearing shoes, preferably boots, so that I don’t have to worry about being bitten by snakes when I go up the mountain.
Yue Zang suddenly stopped, put his hand on the scabbard, and came over and whispered: "Shiren, have you ever thought about escaping from the southwest? If you make up your mind, I can help you cover it. I heard that over at Jinmen, men It’s not that different from women.”
"Forget it first, the Lu family treats me well. If it weren't for Mr. Lu, I would have been executed together with my father, mother and brother, not to mention you! Yue Zang, you don't care that my father was a rebel. I keep going back and forth, but I can’t bear to leave you.”
The lower-level warrior in front of him was Tokihito's most cherished partner.
The Lu family in Yicheng had three daughters in a row. The eldest daughter and the second daughter were all married. The youngest daughter Lu Qu became the apple of Mr. Lu's eye. Yue Zang was very devoted to her. Shiren helped many friends to arrange this marriage. Unfortunately, Lu Qu not long ago Having made an engagement with the young master of the Li family, Yue Zang was completely disappointed and almost didn't want to live anymore.
"You deserve it!" The warrior in black sighed, bent down to pick up the mushrooms, and put his hand into the bamboo basket on Shiren's back.
He sighed again: "The storyteller said it well. A treasured spear in a man's hand can turn the clouds and rain, but how can he be hungry, cold, and poor? Even if Miss Lu Qu responds to my feelings, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married."
Whether Tokihito or Yue Zang, their status is not as good as that of cats and dogs in Yicheng in the southwest. Cats and dogs still have owners who love them, but they can only be ordered around and drank by others. Yue Zang often laments that he is the fate of an ant, and feels that he is in pain and wishes to die. Although he is highly skilled in martial arts, he is not reused. The leaders only ask him to patrol the streets of the city. Even so, Yuezang is still a lower-level warrior and is qualified to practice martial arts with a sword and practice physical training. Tokihito is not qualified. A domestic servant is not even qualified to touch a sword. None.
