538 Tough, Tough, Tough! (1/2)
”Ah, the sky is really blue1!”
On the vast expanse of grassland, sitting in a large carriage, Wang Lu looked up at the sky and sighed heartily at the blue sky.
”Little brother, what's troubling you?” the old man driving the carriage asked under the whistling of the wind.
Hearing this from inside the carriage, Wang Lu couldn't help but feel strange. ”What? Why do you ask as such? Big brother, how can you tell?”
The coachman smiled and said, ”Today, you have been sighing about the blue sky for twenty times.”
”Yes, the sky is really blue…” Wang Lu sighed again, and then laid down in the carriage and stopped looking at the sky. But after a moment, his breath shortened and he became impatient, one by one his worries burst forth and overwhelmed him.
Thereupon, Wang Lu simply moved to the front of the carriage and came to the driver's back. He then asked with interest, ”Big brother, you have been driving in Southern Heaven Region for so many years, you're probably experienced and knowledgeable. I want to ask you a question.”
”Please ask, little brother.”
For this guest who had spent a lot of money to hire him and his carriage, the old coachman came up with a pretty good sense of service.
Wang Lu asked, ”Let's say, if one day you get drunk and do a lot of muddled things, some of which are good and some are bad. And when you wake up, you forgot all of those things…”
Before he could finish it, the coachman laughed. ”Little brother, you're asking the right person here. This problem, I have met so many of them! Every time I drive from Han Region to other places, after I returned later, I have to resolutely drink for several cups. Sometimes when I earned more, I drunk hard, and when I woke up at noon the next day, I would not remember anything, haha!”
Wang Lu smiled and then said, ”What if you do things that are particularly out of line and they are related to people that are very close to you, what would you do?”
The coachman waved his hand. ”What else can I do? If I made a mistake, then I admit my mistake, the day will always go on.”
”Hey, that's right.” Wang Lu shrugged.
”Little brother.” Hearing the subject about character came up, the coachmen began to prattle, ”I see that you're young, with an extraordinary way of talking. Also, you are very generous, so you ought to not come from ordinary family. For a great person like you, even if you do something wrong, you would still have a room for recovery, so there's nothing to be afraid of. As for me, in my drunkenness last year, I smashed a row of precious porcelain. At that time, even my three years of saving was not enough to compensate for it. If I didn't run into a good man who covered it for me, right now, I would have to eat prison food. However, sometimes, the matter is too big that you have to be careful when facing it. When it's time to renege on your debt, then renege on your debt.”
Wang Lu laughed. ”Well said, when it's time to renege on the debt, then renege on the debt!”
The two laughed for a while, and then Wang Lu gradually came to talk about sex, ”If you fall in love with a person, and that person is very good in all aspect and she is also very interested in you, therefore you two get together, being intimate and loving, even pregnant with a child…”
The coachman nodded repeatedly as he listened, apparently, he had the same feeling... as if his love life was quite smooth.
”Then, what if one day you suddenly discover that the person is your long-lost sister, what would you do?”
Wang Lu's voice had just fallen and the coachman's body greatly shook. Trembling with fear, he shouted, ”How did you know?”
”...” Wang Lu looked at the coachman in silence as ten thousand grass mud horses ran wildly in his heart2.
After a long time, Wang Lu quietly opened his mouth, ”In short, I don't have any prejudice against this kind of thing. The most important thing for people is to be happy, and to have someone you love cook noodles3 for you to eat is more important than anything, right?”
The coachman stiffened, barely swallowed, and then nodded.
”So, what happened to you later?”
”...” The coachman was silent for a moment and then sighed. ”What else can I do? Hide the truth from the family, take the child, and move out. When the days are long gone, the child had grown up, no need to care about other things!”
Wang Lu nodded, and then muttered to himself, ”Children… This is indeed the key aspect.”
—
Wang Lu had been back to Nine Regions for quite some time.
On that day, when his longest dream ended, Wang Lu found himself lying on the grassland of the Southern Heaven Region… Originally, when he returned to the Nine Regions from the Demon World, halfway through the process, he was entangled by the seeking-vengeance ghost of the Fallen Immortal Demon King and pulled into the Demon King's dreamland. Later on, when the dreamland was shattered into pieces, Wang Lu was dragged into the turbulence of space and time and thrown into an unknown corner of the Southern Heaven Region… Fortunately, he did not end up in a dangerous place.
After returning to Nine Regions, Wang Lu didn't immediately rush to return to the sect, so much that he even intended to use an immortal method to hide his existence. All his props that could be considered as Spirit Sword Sect's were sealed by him in his mustard seed bag, including his own Sword of Mount Kun.
After passing through that dreamland, Wang Lu's hard work had not been in vain. On the contrary, his harvest was so huge that it had to be digested carefully for a period of time. During this period, he didn't want to meet the people from Spirit Sword Sect because he hadn't thought of how to face them.
The simplest method was like this:
”Comrades, I, Ouyang the Second, am back! Come and kneel before me, hahaha!”
How it would turn out would probably be like this:
”What are you guys doing! Show some respect! You, yes you, surnamed Feng! I order you to stop! And you, surnamed Liu, don't think that I don't know your shameful history, I… Ah!”
And then a dead body of a person who died due to a break up in psychosis would probably appear in Spirit Sword Mountain.
The friendship of the golden generation was unquestionable. But things have passed for more than a hundred years. How to face the Big Brother who came back through time with reincarnation was, perhaps, also a big problem for Feng Yin and the others.
