Chapter 5 Troubled Times
A ray of light seemed to lit up in the darkness, and then disappeared in an instant.
"Where is this?" A boy who looked eight or nine years old opened his eyes and murmured in confusion.
"Hey, why have the clothes got bigger... No, why have I gotten smaller?" The boy looked at himself in panic and then looked around. "The buildings here are so strange, just like in ancient times..." The boy couldn't help but scream.
A huffing sound came from behind, and the boy turned his head to look, but was frightened by the cold light of a weapon.
The warrior man holding a long sword looked at the boy with a ferocious face, and spoke incomprehensible language on his lips.
The boy felt a chill in his heart. This person wanted to kill me! A strong sense of crisis came, and the boy started running without caring about anything else. The man behind him suddenly didn't react, perhaps thinking that the young child might have lost other thoughts in fear. But the boy was not a normal eight-year-old boy, and his inner soul was a 16-year-old boy, and he reacted to this danger in a timely manner.
Run! Quickly! The boy only has the idea of running faster at this moment, otherwise the god of death from behind will take away his life! But although he has already reacted first, how can a child run better than a strong soldier? The soldier behind him catches up with the boy in three or two steps. Danger! The breath coming from behind is getting closer and closer.
I was about to be caught up! The boy felt panic. Suddenly, the street appeared in front of him, and the boy changed direction to escape the samurai's pursuit. "Although I was not running fast, some terrain was more beneficial to me!" The boy thought quickly in his heart.
Then, the boy ran towards a pile of ruins in the distance, and the road was very difficult due to various debris. However, such a narrow terrain gave the boy a glimmer of hope. The boy shuttled through the ruins with his younger body, and the voice of the warrior behind him became smaller and smaller. After leaving the ruins for a period of time, the boy then found a half-collapsed house and hid in.
…………
The boy was wearing an incompatible clothing and curled up in an abandoned house. Many sounds came from outside the walls. The boy vaguely heard the scolding of soldiers, the wailing of women, the crying of children, and the shouts from afar, the sound of wars. His heart, which had just calmed down, began to beat violently again. It was very dangerous outside!
Sure enough, is there chaos outside? The boy was silently reciting in his heart. Could it be... the boy had some estimation in his heart
After a long time, the sound outside gradually disappeared, as if everything had become quiet. The boy moved his body slightly, approached the wall and listened carefully to the sound outside. Sure enough, there was silence outside, and only the crackling sound of flames burning was heard.
"Where is this?" The boy's question did not disappear. The sound outside had disappeared. The boy also stretched his body slightly, stood up gently, and glanced at the dilapidated facade of the house.
"The armor on those soldiers should be from ancient times...the sound...it seems to be a mixture of Japanese and Chinese..." The boy was a little sure of it, but he still didn't believe his guess.
"It was so dangerous just now. Fortunately, I am relatively young now, so I can get in even a remote house." I looked up at this room. There were many traces of erosion on the wooden boards. The whole house had collapsed halfway, and both houses were covered by broken wooden boards and bricks. The remaining part was shaky and probably couldn't last long.
"It's better to leave this dangerous place early and find out if there is anything to use."
The boy looked at the clothes on his body. This one looked very weird, or modern. After he came to this world, he seemed to have only these. Moreover, in order to escape in order to facilitate his escape, some of the clothes had been thrown away, and the clothes on his body could only be worn.
"It's better to find a suitable clothes. It's already autumn outside..." The boy muttered and began to search for items in the whole room. Although the house looked collapsed and abandoned, the boy found that it should have been inhabited before. He should be able to find some useful things.
"Well, the house here collapsed due to human damage. It's no wonder that there are traces of daily life." The boy thought while changing his clothes. This house has a lot of daily necessities. The boy also found suitable clothes and even found some dry food. At least the food for the next one or two days will be fine.
"It should be fine outside, go out and have a look. Staying here is not a solution." The boy seemed to persuade him, and mustered up the courage to get out of a secret hole.
The heat waves caused by the combustion swept over, accompanied by a gust of hot wind, and the strong smell of blood stimulated the boy. "Didn't it?..." Although the boy had already estimated that something might happen outside before he came out, he couldn't help feeling disgusted when he saw this cruel scene.
The wantonly burning flames swallowed most of the houses, and the boy's house survived, and the village was basically destroyed. Before escaping into the houses, he had seen the appearance of these houses. But now, these have turned into ashes or ruins. The land that once raised humans was covered with blood, women, old men, children and young men, all lay stiffly on the ground, and war ruthlessly took their lives.
The boy couldn't help but kneel down, feeling weak and disgusted all over his body. It took a while before he gradually adapted. The boy deliberately avoided the corpse on the ground. He walked forward with heavy steps and moved further away. Maybe it was hell, maybe it was even more cruel than hell.
…………
Chen was immersed in his memories and told Shangquan on the side his experience without rushing to tell him about his experience. Perhaps it had been too long since he mentioned it to anyone, Chen told him intermittently, and it was late at night before he knew it. Shangquan looked at the thin boy in front of him. Although he seemed a little young, his face was full of calm and lonely expressions. Perhaps because of the reason for experiencing life and death, the boy looked a little vicissitudes, which should not have been seen in a vibrant young man.
Tatsuya continued, "Later, I met Teacher Nagajuro when I had nowhere to go. He took me out of that hellish life. So Teacher Nagajuro is more like a father to me, and my belief was also rebuilt with the help of the teacher." Tatsuya stood up and looked at the mountain scenery in the distance and said.
"Najuro, I didn't expect that it would be a separation from him, life and death." Uenizumi sighed. He and Nagajuro originally studied the mystery of the swordless in Yamato, but later Nagajuro left because of the important matter. Then Nagajuro met this young man. "Najuro is much better than me as a teacher." Uenizumi couldn't help but think in his heart. Even though the boy in front of him was an absolute genius, he could not become an excellent swordsman without Nagajuro's careful teaching.
Tatsuki turned his head to look at Kazuizumi and said, "So in order to fulfill the teacher's long-cherished wish, Lord Kazuizumi please fight me!" Tan's eyes flashed with amazing light, and a fierce fighting spirit ignited from Tan's body. Nagajuro's final wish was to see if the new Yinliu created by Kazuizumi was invincible. Nagajuro competed with Kazui many times, but most of them were tied or defeated, and failed to defeat Kazuizumi with Tian Jingliu's swordsmanship. Perhaps it was because Nagajuro's swordsmanship had not reached its peak at that time, so he could not beat Kazuizumi. In the end, Nagajuro also died due to physical illness and could not compete with Kazuizumi again. This also became a wish in Nagajuro's heart, and he could see that Tian Jingliu's swordsmanship could be comparable to Shin Yinliu.
After Chen finished speaking, he looked up at the distance, not knowing what he was thinking. Shangquan stared at the boy and finally left the courtyard. Finally, he said softly: "I am looking forward to that day too."
After a long time, Chen also walked out of the forest garden and said as he walked: "Maybe it would be nice to travel around in the future. Maybe he could find some things about his time travel..." Close his eyes and concentrate on his arms and feel the inside of his arms. "It's true that's the case, maybe I can really find a way to go back." Chen said silently in his heart.
