Just after dark, a heavy rain came fiercely.
The dilapidated ancient temple could not hold on after all. It was raining heavily outside and heavy rain inside.
At this time, a young man was squatting under the eaves, listening to the sound of rain outside.
He is not alone, he is accompanied by a turtle.
The boy touched his growling stomach and asked the turtle next to him: "Xiaohan, I'm hungry, are you hungry?"
Seeing Wugui nodding his head intelligently, the like-minded young man understood what Xiaohan meant.
Lu Yuan was helpless and filled with grievances in his heart.
At noon, he was still playing with turtles in the sun, watching beauties in bikinis on the beach, and eating seafood in resort hotels.
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, I would travel to this ruined temple where the birds did not poop, the trees did not bear fruit, and there were no tributes on the tribute platform.
Traveling through time with him was this very spiritual turtle beside him.
After getting along with each other for an afternoon, Lu Yuan found that he and Wu Turtle got along very well. He was so excited that he didn't know why his head was spinning, but he actually made love to a turtle in a confused way.
They don’t want to be born in the same year and the same month, but they want to die in the same year and the same month.
Just as he was praying, he heard a voice.
[Sworn to the Immortal Seed, congratulations to the host for obtaining the qualification for immortality! 】
system! System reward? !
At that time, Lu Yuan knew that he had made a profit and earned the qualification for immortality from Brother Turtle. As a reward, he named Brother Turtle Xiaohan.
He also wanted to ask the system for something, but found that his system did not allow dialogue like other novels, and it did not even have instructions for use.
As a result, Lu Yuan was briefly happy and then became sad.
"Xiaohan, I feel like I won't be able to survive tomorrow if I'm so hungry!" Lu Yuan complained.
He even regretted not taking more than two bites of seafood at noon, and now he was so hungry that stars appeared in his eyes.
Lu Yuan asked again: "Xiaohan, don't you think it's a bit shameful to starve to death the day after you obtain the qualification for immortality?"
Xiaohan nodded, a little bit.
"Hey, it's such a pity. If I die, you won't be able to survive. After all, we both said so absolutely when we were proposing, God has heard it now!"
After hearing what Lu Yuan said, Xiaohan looked at him with round eyes, as if he had heard something terrible.
When the sworn vows were made, it clearly refused and was forced to even kowtow. Moreover, even if the sworn vows were made sincerely, judging from its age, it was the eldest brother. If the eldest brother didn't take it seriously now, he would die tomorrow.
What a loss, sad, and premature death!
Lu Yuan saw all this and said regretfully: "I also think it's too early for both of us to die like this. I think we can live for a while longer. I have an idea that I don't know whether to talk about or not."
Xiaohan blinked a few times and nodded after thinking.
Lu Yuan rubbed his hands and whispered: "I just saw a knife on the side of the temple. Why don't we use that knife to chop off your two legs, one for each of us, and both of us can live longer after eating it?" In one day, at most you will bleed and get injured, but compared to our lives, they are nothing!"
Xiaohan's round eyes instantly dimmed, and he took a few steps back, dragging his turtle shell.
Are all this man’s sweet words in the afternoon fake? !
Show your true colors!
In order to prevent this man from being hurt suddenly, Xiao Han shrank into the turtle shell.
"You're kidding, little fool. You don't take it seriously, do you? I can do such a beastly thing. I'm your big brother!"
Seeing that Xiaohan took it seriously, Lu Yuan regretted telling Xiaohan such a cold joke on such a rainy day. He wanted to calm down the atmosphere, but now he had to coax Xiaohan.
"Young fool, my eldest brother knows I'm wrong. Please stretch your head and take a look at my eldest brother!"
Under the eaves of a dilapidated temple, a young man lay on the ground, apologizing repeatedly to a turtle shell, expressing his desire to change his past.
In the end, Xiaohan reluctantly revealed his secret after swearing a few poisonous oaths.
Time passed in the heavy rain.
An hour later.
The sky was completely dark and the rain was still falling.
An old beggar wearing a ragged raincoat came into the temple.
This place seemed to be an old beggar's home. As soon as he entered the door, the old beggar found some dry branches from a hidden corner and lit a bonfire.
The old beggar saw Lu Yuan lying in the haystack.
Lu Yuan finally saw people in this world.
It was the old beggar who spoke first and asked, "Is there nowhere to go?"
The language is very fluent and there is no communication barrier.
Lu Yuan also understood that he was probably traveling through the Mandarin speaking area.
There is nothing wrong with the Chinese traveler.
Lu Yuan nodded and asked the old beggar: "You are so familiar with this place and you often rest here?"
"Well, almost!"
The old beggar nodded in response.
"have you eaten?"
"Didn't eat it!"
Lu Yuan didn't hide it. After all, his stomach was still growling and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
At this moment, the old beggar threw a dry steamed bun.
"Eat, it's not much, it can satisfy your hunger!"
Lu Yuan picked up the steamed buns on the ground, almost with tears in his eyes, and looked at the old beggar with emotion.
At this time, the old beggar became more and more kind in his eyes, just like those masters in TV dramas who save the protagonist in times of crisis.
No, Lu Yuan firmly believed that the old beggar was the master sent by God to save him.
"Poor child, stop looking and eat quickly. If it's too dry, you can drink some rainwater."
The old beggar smiled kindly, and said kindly: "If you still have no place to get something to eat tomorrow, why not come with me to the city and beg for some food together."
After hearing these words, Lu Yuan almost knelt down and kowtowed, worshiping the old man as God!
Don't be picky when you have something to eat. Lu Yuan gave half of the steamed bun to Xiaohan.
One person and one turtle ate with relish.
Dried steamed buns, rainwater, Lu Yuan had never had such a simple dinner in his life.
This was also the first time that he felt that steamed buns were so delicious and food was so important.
This meal may be difficult for him to forget, and it will become an event worth remembering forever in his life.
After eating, he briefly chatted with the old beggar.
If Lu Yuan was a little wary when he first met the old beggar, now after being fed by the old beggar, Lu Yuan was completely relaxed.
The old beggar knew everything. Like an elder, Lu Yuan felt familiar to him when they first met. Just like the old man in the village in his previous life, he could always break people's defensiveness very cleverly.
Later, sleepiness set in. Lu Yuan rested his head on Xiaohan's turtle shell and slowly fell asleep against the warm bonfire.
As the firelight flickered, only the old beggar's incomprehensible expression was reflected.
Fire is hot, and the human heart is also hot and cold.
…
The second day.
Qingfeng City is a relatively famous city in Wu Kingdom.
In a remote corner, Lu Yuan was holding a bowl and listening to the old beggar's instructions.
"You wait for me here for a while, I'll come to meet a friend."
Seeing Lu Yuan nod, the old beggar left with peace of mind.
"The old beggar is so kind to me, little fool. When we have dinner in the future, we must repay the old beggar well!"
Thinking of the old beggar who woke him up today and brought him to the city to beg, Lu Yuan was honestly a little touched. It was already a great kindness for a stranger to do this.
Xiaohan was tied to his back by several strips of cloth, so he couldn't nod his head, so he could only squeak to express his understanding.
Lu Yuan didn't feel any shame in the ups and downs of his life. He suddenly fell from a relatively wealthy ordinary person to a beggar in another world.
At any time, living is more important than any shame.
Eat when you are hungry, and live forever.
Lu Yuan has always been a person who accepts reality easily.
Lu Yuan didn't feel ashamed, and Xiaohan didn't feel ashamed either.
It's a turtle, and it's useless to save face.
At this time, the mentality of one person and one turtle is considered very good.
This way.
The old beggar walked into a courtyard and saw a few big men in the courtyard. He put away the kindness on his face and said coldly: "We are in the same place. A stupid boy with no background can cheat someone with just a piece of steamed bun." coming."
A big man asked in disbelief: "Is there anyone so easy to deceive these days?"
The old beggar nodded, with a dark sneer on his face.
"We've contacted Tianxiang Pavilion. If you catch him, send him there!"
