I rely on my body to push the weird world

Chapter 25 Nerd Lu Jing

The sun sets on the ancient road, and the sun is setting at dusk.

One carriage after another moved slowly along the official road with gurgling streams.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The scholar, carrying a book basket on his back, was being harassed by groups of children, who threw stones at him, but he could do nothing about it.

Although the scholar was good for nothing and couldn't even tie a chicken, he could still deal with a few children without any problem.

but……

The scholar looked forward with grievance, and their parents in the carriage looked at him expressionlessly.

Bang bang bang!
Sudden.

The bamboo forests nearby all collapsed to the ground with a loud bang, and a figure walked out from the flying dust.

"Run! There's a monster coming out of the bamboo forest!"

The children were so frightened that they screamed and ran away in a hurry.

"Xiaosheng, thank you very much... for rescuing me."

When the scholar saw clearly that the person coming was a young man with a naked upper body and smooth muscular lines, his frightened expression instantly turned into gratitude.

The young man put his hands into his hair, combing off the bamboo leaves on his head, revealing his handsome young face.

"What is this place?"

"Close to Qingshan in Wuling County!"

"Qingshan? I've never heard of it, but as long as it's close to Wuling County, it's fine!"

Li Ji slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.

This Hundred Miles Bamboo Sea is indeed a Hundred Miles Bamboo Sea. He originally thought it was just an imaginary reference, but who knew that there were bamboos everywhere.

He could only aim at the right direction and push forward all the way, scaring the hidden demons and monsters so much that they trembled for almost half a month before they finally came out.

"You haven't heard of it? Don't make fun of me, brother."

The scholar smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Your outfit looks familiar."

Li Ji looked at the scholar and said, "Is your name Ning Caichen?"

The scholar was wearing a washed-out robe and carrying a book basket on his back. He looked frail but had a nerdy look like a "ghost fox wife".

"I am Lu Jing, not the Ning Caichen you know."

The poor scholar cupped his hands, full of humility: "I am going to follow the caravan to Wuling County to sell some of the rare and fragmentary scrolls in my home."

"Do you know what the current situation in Qinghe County is like?"

Li Ji asked.

"I am ashamed to say that I have never been to Qinghe County, and I have not met anyone from Qinghe County along the way, so naturally I don't know the situation in Qinghe County."

Lu Jing bowed again and lowered his head.

"Didn't you meet anyone from Qinghe County along the way?"

Li Ji, murmured.

This means that the people of Qinghe County, whether they were the wealthy gentry who fled first, or the common people who rushed out of the north gate in a bustling atmosphere that day, are probably in great danger.

Lu Jing bowed his head and waited for a while, but when he heard no response, he slowly raised his head.

Seeing the thoughtful look on the face of the shirtless young man, Lu Jing bowed and said, "Brother, goodbye, we'll meet again if we're lucky."

Naturally, there was no response to this farewell.

Lu Jing jogged for fear of losing the caravan.

Li Ji was still thinking about the affairs of Qinghe County and the secrets that the red-haired young man had told him before his death.

This was the reason why he had managed to forge ahead in the hundred-mile bamboo sea that felt like a prison for the past half month without going crazy.

But soon, he sneered bitterly, thinking that he was really crazy. What happened in Qinghe County had nothing to do with him.

He has already left Qinghe County, he has already survived, why bother to study this painstakingly?

"Scholar, wait!" Li Ji reacted and quickly raised his hand and shouted.

"What else do you want, brother?"

Lu Jing stopped immediately, turned around and waited for Li Ji's instructions.

"I happen to be heading to Wuling County as well. How about you and I go together?"

Li Ji smiled.

He had already deviated from the official road that he was familiar with, so naturally he had to find a guide.

"I have no problem with that."

Lu Jing was overjoyed, he looked up at Li Ji and continued: "You and I are traveling together, the journey ahead will definitely be safer."

With a strong brother by your side, the journey ahead will naturally be smoother and safer.

"Do you have any clothes?"

"Yes! Of course!"

Lu Jing hurriedly took out a scholar's robe that was also washed white from the book basket.

Li Ji took it, stroked the rough surface of the clothes with his fingertips, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.

When he first came into this world, he was a poor scholar, so he was naturally very familiar with this kind of coarse linen scholar's robe.

This kind of robe is wide and loose, with two layers of cloth inside and outside. When it is cold in winter, cotton is stuffed inside to keep warm. When spring comes, the threads are untied and the cotton is taken out. People only have two or three pieces of clothes to change and wear all year round, and the poorer ones may only have one piece.

Li Ji put it on skillfully to cover his sturdy body.

"Brother, have you ever been to school?"

Lu Jing saw Li Ji putting on his robe skillfully and tying his long hair on top of his head with a thin bamboo stick. He actually looked like a scholar and he exclaimed in surprise.

You have to know that a scholar's robe is slightly different from ordinary clothes. Unless you have studied in a private school or academy, it is difficult for ordinary people to dress neatly.

"I read a little bit, but later I switched to martial arts."

Li Ji smiled.

"Practice martial arts?"

Lu Jing's eyes sparkled, and he praised me: "Just now I was wondering how you could come out of the Hundred Mile Bamboo Sea. It turns out that you are a martial artist. I guess you must have just exorcised demons in the Hundred Mile Bamboo Sea."

"Conquer demons and eliminate demons?"

Li Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, have you ever seen a martial artist come to this Baili Bamboo Sea to exorcise demons?"

"No, but I often hear people say that there is a government office in Wuling County called the Demon Suppression Division. The detectives there are all strong martial artists. They usually go to the wilderness of Wuling County to slay demons and monsters."

Lu Jing explained.

"Demon Suppression Division? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"This Demon Suppression Division was newly established by the imperial court. It has only been in Wuling County for a little over a month. It is responsible for dealing with demons and ghosts. It is normal that you have never heard of it."

"Can you tell me about this Demon Suppression Division?"

"Haha, this is all I've heard. How can I know anything else?"

"Well, let's get going!"

This place is nearly a hundred miles away from Wuling County, separated by mountains and a big river. The mountain roads are rugged and the waterways are difficult to cross. It takes about seven or eight days to reach Wuling County by carriage and ferry, not to mention ordinary people walking step by step.

"I am originally from Nujiang County. I failed the imperial examination three years ago, and later followed the merchant caravan to settle down in Niujia Village under the jurisdiction of Wuling County... I heard that there was a flood in my hometown two years ago, and I..."

Lu Jing was glad that he had escaped, but he was also sad for his hometown.

It is said that when shallow friendships are deep, one feels at ease!

This is why people often favor people they meet by chance. They can safely tell the most unspeakable things in their hearts, which makes them feel comfortable and gives people a sense of trust.

Because the road is long, it is difficult to meet by chance again, and the things in your heart will naturally disappear like the wind.

Lu Jing finally found someone who could listen to him patiently without looking down on him.

Naturally, he kept talking all the way, pouring out his situation like beans, but he suddenly remembered that he knew nothing about the person next to him.

"Brother, I haven't asked for your name yet."
