Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 227 Luo Chen

Shen Li thought to herself: How could this young man suddenly appear here?

She lowered her head and pondered for a long time, and suddenly remembered that she had picked up one of his handkerchiefs. She immediately decided that she had to find a suitable opportunity to return the handkerchief to him.

After all, Shen Li has been in this era for more than half a year, and has learned a lot about the many rules and taboos of ancient times. She knows very well that she cannot keep the handkerchief of this foreign man casually, otherwise it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.

So, she gently tugged at the corner of Zhao Lin's clothes and said softly, "Let him come over. It's freezing cold, and it would be pitiful if he has no place to eat!"

Shen Li's voice was soft and gentle, with a bit of innate kindness and compassion.

When the young man heard Shen Li's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his slightly tired face instantly bloomed into a bright smile. He quickly smiled and clasped his fists and said to everyone: "Well, sorry to bother you!"

After saying that, he dismounted swiftly with light and graceful movements, then led the horse to Chunhua, skillfully tied the reins to a tree, and let the horse rub some grass.

Shen Yu stood aside, watching the boy's actions, and couldn't help but frown.

He shook his head helplessly, walked over silently and added some more fodder, muttering softly: "What's going on?"

The young man seemed to have not heard anything. His big white teeth gleamed in the sunlight as he smiled at Shen Yu and said, "Thank you very much! I thank you on behalf of Qiuyue!"

When Shen Li heard the name "Qiuyue", she couldn't help but laugh and cry, thinking to herself: Chunhua and Qiuyue are good names.

However, what kind of changes will the appearance of this young man bring to their journey?

There was a hint of doubt and curiosity in her eyes as she quietly watched the boy's every move.

After expressing his sincere thanks, the young man slowly sat down beside the warm fire. His movements were a little slow, as if he was feeling some indescribable fatigue.

Everyone's eyes inadvertently swept over him, and saw that he was wearing a slightly worn and very thin suit. The fabric fluttered gently in the cold wind, and it was completely unable to resist the chilly spring weather.

The cold spring wind blew from time to time, and the boy's body trembled slightly, which made everyone who saw it feel pity and worry.

Zhao Lin frowned slightly, a trace of concern flashed in his eyes. He subconsciously tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand, as if he was alert to the possible dangers lurking around him.

Chuxia and Chuqiu looked at each other with sympathy in their eyes. They bit their lips lightly and whispered about whether they should go back to the carriage to get a thick cloak for the boy to put on so that he could keep warm.

Shen Yu scratched his head, stood up, walked to the luggage beside him, and began to rummage through it, as if he wanted to see if there was anything that could temporarily keep the boy warm.

Shen Li sat quietly by the side, her eyes always fixed on the young man, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Wang Meng strode forward and handed a bowl of steaming hot water and a golden and crispy roasted rabbit leg to the young man with a concerned look on his face.

The young man quickly took it with both hands, and a bright smile instantly bloomed on his face. That smile was as bright as the warm spring sun. He kept saying words of gratitude, and there was a bit of sincere joy in his voice.

The young man sat by the fire, gnawing on the chicken leg with relish, drinking a few sips of hot water from time to time. As the steaming hot food went into his stomach, a blush gradually appeared on his pale cheeks, which also restored some of his spirit.

However, his eyes inadvertently swept over several people around him who were slightly wary, and he thought to himself: I am alone now, but they are numerous and powerful. It seems that in order to achieve my goal, I have to find a suitable opportunity.

Shen Li was sitting on the side, also frowning slightly, staring intently at the boy's back, as if trying to find out some secret from him.

When the young man came over, he looked at her several times, but it was obvious from his eyes that he did not recognize her.

Shen Li couldn't help but feel a little amused, thinking to herself: That's right, when I first met him, I was still an ugly, dark, thin girl. My appearance was completely different from now, no wonder he couldn't recognize me.

After searching the carriage for a while, Shen Yu finally found a thick cloak.

He walked up to the young man with a smile on his face, handed him the cloak, and said, "Brother, put it on first. You see, you are wearing too little. It is still very cold in this spring. If you catch a cold accidentally, you will get sick!" His voice was gentle and friendly, and his eyes showed sincere concern.

The young man's eyes flickered slightly, as if touched by Shen Yu's actions. He quickly stood up, clasped his fists and saluted with an upright posture, and said solemnly, "Thank you very much! Thank you very much! My name is Luo Chen, and I was planning to go to the capital for business. I wonder where you are going?"

Shen Yu handed the cloak to the young man and answered with a smile. He subconsciously glanced at Shen Li and saw Shen Li nod slightly. Then he said, "Let's go to the capital too."

Upon hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up immediately, his face filled with joy. He almost blurted out, "Great! Can I come with you? It's quite difficult for me to go alone this journey. If I can accompany you, we can look after each other."

Zhao Lin frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he finally replied: "Okay, but all actions must be carried out according to our instructions!"

He secretly wondered why the county lady wanted to bring this young man of unknown origin. Could there be some deeper meaning behind this? But since the county lady had already nodded, as a guard, he could only agree for the time being.

When the young man heard Zhao Lin's reply, he saluted again, kept saying words of gratitude, and the smile on his face became brighter, as if he had already seen the safety and smoothness of the journey ahead.
