Chapter 455
Seeing Gu Lanting's clothes, the woman dropped the bowl in her hand in fright, and the moment she let go of her hand, she felt full of regret, this is life-saving food.
And a black figure passed by, accurately caught the falling bowl, and moved steadily in the air, catching the scattered soup, and stopped steadily.
"Don't be afraid, we are not bad people."
Lu Chen showed a friendly smile, and put the soup bowl on the boulder, and glanced at it, there were only about a dozen grains of rice.
People in this world also eat rice, but it is not the kind of rice on earth. They call it glutinous rice, which is much more nutritious than rice on earth.
But because people's physiques are also different, in fact, from the perspective of appetite requirements, they are similar.
"Eunuch, who are these two?"
The woman was still in shock, mainly because she almost broke the bowl, she said doubtfully.
"Travelers passing by, chatted for a while at the head of the village, and offered them a drink of water."
The old man explained.
The woman was relieved when she heard that she was not an invitation to dinner, and felt that her father-in-law hadn't done anything stupid.
Lu Chen and Gu Lanting didn't care about the rough environment, they moved a small stone from the courtyard, and sat down beside the big stone, while the woman took out two small wooden cups from the room, and poured two cups that she had made before. When the water was boiled during the meal, pass it to Lu Chen and the others.
During the meal, the three members of the family were silent, and the woman kept watching Gu Lanting vigilantly during the meal.
"Where's the old man's son?"
Lu Chen held the cup and didn't drink it.
Holding the bowl, the old man sighed, "Isn't it just what I said before, young people are bloody, and they will be gone if they are impulsive."
When this incident was mentioned, the eyes of the little girl who had just licked the bowl of noodles turned red. She saw her father being killed with her own eyes.
She looked at Gu Lanting with hatred and timidity, it was the man dressed like this who killed her father.
"Feel sorry."
Lu Chen apologized.
The old man waved his hand, "It's not your fault, so why apologize, it's just that our lives in the north are suffering."
"Grandpa, why don't you eat..."
The little girl walked up to the old man, stood on tiptoes, and looked at the other's bowl. The soup in it had gone down a bit, but the rice grains hadn't decreased at all, and some saliva still flowed from the corners of her mouth when she spoke.
It's okay not to eat, but after eating a little bit, I feel even hungrier.
Gu Lanting watched this scene from the side, got up and said to Lu Chen, "My lord, I want to go out to get some air."
Lu Chenxin said that this reason is too bad, because there is no fence, what is the difference between the yard and the outside?
However, he also understood the other party's feelings. As a man who would distribute his food to the villagers and rely on his strong body to support himself, Gu Lanting really couldn't see this kind of scene.
Especially this kind of scene, and the blame of the army, even though he is no longer a high-ranking person in the army, he still feels a little guilty.
Lu Chen nodded before Gu Lanting walked out.
The old man looked at this scene with some doubts. Didn't he say that he was walking together?But it seems that this is clearly your guard, with a clear status, what did he want to be called just now?
After Gu Lanting left, Lu Chen sat there silently thinking, the first part of the main task of the space is to inspect the northern border, so what exactly is he going to do?
Is it enough to understand the current situation in the northern border?
"Grandpa is full, let little Lika eat the rest."
The old man handed the bowl to the little girl, and the little girl raised her hand tangled up, struggling between reason and hunger.
"Lika!"
The woman scolded severely, making the little girl withdraw her hand.
She sucked her saliva, "Lika is full too, grandpa."
Lu Chen sighed, "Here, eat this."
A piece of coffee-colored chocolate appeared in his hand, but it was not actually chocolate, but a compressed food produced in space. 100 Genesis Coins could weigh [-] kilograms. It had no special effect and could only satisfy hunger.
Before Lu Chen entered the world, he also considered that he might be thrown into no man's land, so there was a lot of food and drinking water in the storage space.
According to Lu Chen, the taste of compressed food is actually not bad, and the taste can be chosen. He mainly exchanged for various meat flavors, and what Eliyi exchanged was for sweet taste.
He knew that this wouldn't solve the problem, but he felt a little aggrieved at the moment if he didn't do anything.
After the palm-sized compressed food was exposed to the air, it gave off a faint aroma of beef, which made your index finger move.
Little Lika seemed unable to control her body, for some reason, she walked up to this tall, masculine and handsome uncle, and stretched out her hand.
"Lika!"
Then it was interrupted by mother's scolding, the old man got up and hugged the little girl back.
Then he looked at Lu Chen: "I made you laugh, as travelers, you should also need food, so hurry up and leave after drinking water, my Lika is a country girl, a country girl."
The old man was a little vigilant. He had just seen that piece of food with a shiny surface and a strange smell appeared out of thin air in the hands of the other party. The food looked very high-end, like something that nobles could afford. The opponent has a storage ring.
That's something only the nobles of the empire would have!
In his impression, nobles are not good things, they are all perverts, with unique sexual tastes, maybe they are attracted to his granddaughter.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, looking at the old man's vigilant eyes, he thought he was some uncle with eccentricities, and explained with some embarrassment: "The old man misunderstood, we have a lot of food with us, it's just a momentary feeling. "
Seeing the young man's embarrassing expression and sincere eyes, the old man heaved a sigh of relief, realizing that the other party was indeed just showing kindness.
But he was still trying to find a way to refuse. The folk customs in the northern border are simple and save face. Originally, it would be shameful to invite someone to come to the house just to drink a glass of water, and eat their food...
After thinking about the wording of rejection, he was about to speak when he heard a voice next to him.
"Delicious!"
The old man looked down at his granddaughter, and found that she was already holding that piece of high-grade food in her hand and began to chew on it...
"Oh, you child..."
The old man looked at Lu Chen with some embarrassment, "Thank you."
Lu Chen waved his hand, "Take it as the accommodation fee."
The old man patted the little girl's head again and winked.
The little girl licked the corner of her mouth, and after regaining her senses, she quickly raised her head and said sweetly: "Thank you, uncle~"
Lu Chen felt a little awkward. In the dragon world, he used to be called his brother.
But at his current age, it seems that he is indeed an uncle.
Little Lika hugged the piece of food happily, and after eating a tenth of it, she stopped and handed it to her grandpa, "We're full, grandpa and mom should eat some too."
The woman pampered little Lika's head, "Then Lika will be put away first, mom and grandpa won't be hungry."
Little Lika thought for a while, then held up the piece of food, "Then mother help Lika put it away."
The woman took it helplessly, found something and wrapped it up.
…………
In the evening, Lu Chen and Gu Lanting rejected the old man's invitation, and only found something to lay down in the corner next to the courtyard wall as a place to rest.
In fact, before he entered the world this time, he brought the portable and compact bed specially made by the supporter, but this kind of thing can't be explained to Gu Lanting.
There was nothing to say all night. In the early morning of the next day, Lu Chen and Gu Lanting were ready to go on the road. The northern border was very large, and he only saw a corner of it.
The old man's family sent them to the entrance of the village, and helped Lu Chen and the others point out the direction of the nearest resting place.
"Uncle, this is for you~"
Little Lika stood on tiptoe and held up a straw doll, which was her favorite toy.
Lu Chen patted the little girl's head, "Let's keep Lika, uncle has nowhere to carry it."
The little girl was struggling when she suddenly saw a Pamir eagle hovering in the sky. The child was easily distracted, and was immediately attracted by the mighty eagle.
"It's so big. If only I could become a Pamir eagle, I can fly freely and carefree."
Little Lika said innocently, but she felt that this life was impossible. If there was a next life, she hoped that she could be reincarnated as a Pamir eagle.
Lu Chen leaned over, picked up a stone the size of a human head from the ground, and weighed it.
Under the doubtful eyes of the people in the village, he squatted slightly and lowered his arms. Amidst the tremor of the earth and the piercing sound of piercing the air, the stone directly penetrated the chest of the Pamir eagle in the air, and opened out of the huge hole.
This magical beast died instantly, and fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string, falling more than ten meters behind Lu Chen.
He patted the dust off his hands, "Put it up first, there is hope in life, and everything will be fine."
Due to the exertion and large movements, at this time, the front of his Dark Night Breeze opened, revealing the clothes underneath him.
On the dark aristocratic costume, a lion is roaring.
Looking at the family crest, the old man recalled what the guard said yesterday, the unspoken title, and his brain was almost paralyzed for a while.
When he came back to his senses, he found that the man and his guards had already set foot on the road.
The old man knelt tremblingly and shouted: "Your Excellency, you are finally back!"
Lu Chen didn't look back, just raised his hand and waved, and walked into the distance with Gu Lanting.
…………
At noon, because Lu Chen and Gu Lanting speeded up their trip, they soon came to a town.
Bulun City is one of the small cities in the northern border. The situation in the city is much better than that in the village. At least judging by the busy people, it should not be said that they only eat a meal for a few days when they are hungry.
There were also beggars on the street. Seeing that Lu Chen was dressed clean and tidy, he wanted to go forward to beg, but when he saw Gu Lanting dressed as a soldier, they all retreated.
Walking through the streets and alleys, when passing by a place, Lu Chen found that there were many personalities, as if they were watching some performance.
Lu Chen and Gu Lanting squeezed through the crowd, and actually saw a wooden board standing on the ground, on which was written:
"Punching bag, as long as you have a handful of rice, you won't be disabled, come with you!"
Standing in the center of the venue was a man nearly two meters tall, with a muscular back and a muscular waist. At this time, his upper body was naked and he was facing his "client" with a silly smile.
The client was a woman with black hair and blue eyes, who was dressed luxuriously. She was punching and kicking the man at this time, but the hit on the man seemed to be innocuous. !"
It was obvious that he was greened by the man, and then he took the person in front of him as the object of venting.
The middle-aged man was very calm with a naive smile, until the woman kicked his lower body, his face turned red.
I couldn't help it, and bent down: "I, I said miss, you can't kick in this place... hiss—"
The woman coquettishly took out a silver coin from the pouch at her waist, "Can you kick it!?"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he let go of his hand in a tangled state, with a heroic look on his face, ready to wrong his second brother in exchange for silver coins.
Just when the woman raised her foot to continue venting, a voice came from outside.
"Gree, why are you here!"
The person who spoke was Gu Lanting, with shock and puzzlement in his voice.
After being interrupted and distracted, Gree subconsciously blocked and blocked the woman's feet. Because of the force of the shock, the woman fell to the ground.
He also looked at Gu Lanting with surprise on his face, "Gu Lanting!"
Gu Lanting looked at the situation on the field, and the laughter and pointing of the onlookers, he said angrily: "You have completely embarrassed us!"
But Gree didn't hear the other party's scolding clearly, his mind was attracted by the man standing behind Guge, he quickly knelt down on one knee, performed a knightly etiquette, and looked wildly, "Master Duke!"
At this time, Lu Chen also recalled the man in front of him in his mind. He was one of the three elite legions of the Great Wall defenders, and the head of the Iron Lions. The general is also one of the first team members to follow the Duke of Godzilla.
Gu Lanting still wanted to say his duty, but realized that this was a public place, and the Duke didn't speak, so he fell silent again and stepped back.
"follow me."
Lu Chen turned and walked out of the crowd, this is not the place to talk.
Seeing the Duke of Godzilla, Gree didn't even bother to put on his shirt, and didn't pick up the money on the ground, so he wanted to follow him excitedly.
"Hey, why are you still fighting back, you punching bag! Get your money back!"
The fallen woman pointed at Gredo angrily.
"No, no, no, take your stinky money and get out."
Gree didn't look back at all, and directly pushed aside the crowd. At this moment, the crowd of onlookers realized how strong this entertainer man was, he looked like an ancient magic cow.
The woman whose venting plan failed froze for a moment, and stomped her feet on the spot. She didn't succeed in venting her anger, and now she was even more angry, but she also showed a thoughtful look on her face.
Duke?
She didn't pay attention to whom the busker said to just now, but heard those two words.
The Duke of the Empire has come to the North?Which Duke will it be?
On the other side, in the alleys of the town, in a secluded place, Gu Lanting continued to teach Gree angrily: "Are you ashamed!? Anyway, you used to be a figure at the level of a legion commander. He performed on the street? He even acted as a pawn for others." Punching bag? Let a little bitch kick your balls!?"
Gree looked indifferent, and scratched his short hair with a silly smile, "I want to eat."
