Chapter 361 – Wild Mountain Boars
Upon looking closer, Lei Yu noticed a twenty something year old man. He had an honest appearance, the stubble outlines of a beard, and wearing clean looking clothes albeit filled with patches. The honest look of this young man gave others a feeling that he was easy to befriend.
As for his mother, she was sitting on a wooden chair that appeared to be handmade. She had her eyes closed and was sitting in a small courtyard with a low fence surrounding it. As Lei Yu looked further, the woman was actually an elderly party instead of middle-aged. The hair by her temples was white, her face was full of wrinkles, and she was most likely an elderly at a high age. Her kind looking face had made Lei Yu’s heart quicken because he unconsciously thought of his own mother. Although his own mother wouldn’t be this old, and even if she did look this old, as long as she was alive, Lei Yu too wished he could wait upon his mother like this.
That young man inadvertently noticed Lei Yu in a daze on top of the wooden bridge. “Hello, what are you looking at over there?”
All of this truly seemed real, making Lei Yu feel helplessly drawn into it. Perhaps everything was real because the Earth Vein might have the power to transport him to another world.
Lei Yu responded: “This brother, can you please tell me what place is this? I seemed to have lost my way.” Lei Yu had noticed the clothing of this person and it didn’t look like what one would wear in the modern era.
“So that’s what happened!” The young man then came over, “This place is surrounded by sheer cliffs and rock walls to nowhere. Only after passing that Silicon Mountain will you return back to the main road. And behind this Silicon Mountain is our biggest town, the Silicon Town. I’m about to head to the market of Silicon Town so how about we travel together? We can watch each other’s back during the journey and once you reach the town, it’s as simple as asking around and you’ll be able to find the way to your destination.”
Lei Yu cupped his hands, “Then I’ll thank you in advance!”
Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. The Earth Vein had given him a test so he had to complete it. Besides, the old ancestor had told him to participate in this so defying it wasn’t something Lei Yu planned on doing. Moreover, he had no method of leaving this place so he might as well integrate himself into this world. Getting to know this interesting new world was not a bad idea.
This wasn’t Lei Yu’s first time of being brought into another world; he had also visited ancient Greece. He wasn’t too surprised about being magically sent here since this was his second time. He was actually trying to suppress his excitement of such a novel concept.
The young man cupped his hands and asked: “May I ask for your great name?”
“Lei Yu.” He didn’t bother hiding his name since this appeared to be a different world. This place shouldn’t have anyone that would recognize him, especially when Lei Yu still wasn’t sure if this place was real or not.
“My name is Zhou Jun Sheng.”
Lei Yu was a bit surprised because his name was scholarly and refined while his image was the brawny type, completely different from what one would imagine. Although this Zhou Jun Sheng looked honest, he seem to release an invisible heroic aura.
Seeing the strange look on Lei Yu’s face, Zhou Jun Sheng started laughing. “My father was a scholar who taught at a village. My name was given by my father.”
“Where is your father now?” Lei Yu asked.
There was a slight change on his facial expression before Zhou Jun Sheng sighed, “He died of a serious illness a while ago…”
Zhou Jun Sheng’s face started looking uglier at this point so Lei Yu frantically said: “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry!”
“Don’t worry, it’s been over ten years now and I was still a child back then. It’s just really unfortunate that I cannot serve him to his elderly years.”
“Jun Sheng!”
