Chapter 38
"Where is this?"
"Um...Iron Country, a small town in the east...Machino Village."
The woman looked panicked and was frightened by the young man in front of her.
"impossible! I was obviously walking in their direction without even turning a corner. I ran right through the rocks blocking the road along the way! Why are you still spinning in circles!"Shenyu was a little excited and began to speak incoherently.
He was still wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, his handsome face was slightly distorted, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was in disbelief.
"So what...my baby is breastfeeding……"The woman really didn't want to provoke this lunatic, so she found an excuse and ran away.
Outside the quiet town, Shen Yu stood alone in the wind and snow, looking up at the sky, and the falling snow reflected in his pupils.
Han Feng whimpered, and Shen Yu finally showed an expression of despair.
"Could it be that... I... am a road idiot?"
"no! Since I will get lost if I walk in a fixed direction, I will just choose any direction and walk randomly!"
…… after one day.
Shen Yu collapsed weakly on a glacier, leaning forward with a look of resignation. Even the bamboo hat was casually thrown aside, letting the snowflakes cover his body bit by bit.
"who I am? where am I? What should I do?"
The coldness under my body is biting, but it can't resist the coldness in my heart.
"Ah, it turns out that I am really a road crazy person.……"
"Hahahahahaha!"
"I'm a roadie! Hahahahaha!"
……
He went mad for a while and felt sleepy for no reason. He simply closed his eyes, used the sky as his quilt and the earth as his bed, and fell asleep like this.
Anyway, with his current physical condition, it would be an insult to describe him as"invulnerable". If there is a foraging beast that doesn't dislike him gnawing his teeth, it would be great to be swallowed whole, and they might be able to take him away. What about the Kingdom of Iron?
After an unknown amount of time, the ice surface shook slightly, awakening Shen Yu.
He opened his flawless eyes and found that his body was covered with a three-finger-thick layer of white snow. He immediately sat up straight and shook off all the snow on his raincoat.
He put on his bamboo hat again and looked in a certain direction.
A few thousand meters away, a team of dozens of people stepped onto the glacier and rushed this way.
There are 5 carriages and 12 horses. There are 26 men and 11 women outside the carriage. At the head and end of the team are two fully armed warriors, wearing silver laminated armor and two sabers hanging from their waists. They are scanning the area on guard. Looking around.
It looked like it was a caravan. The carriage was empty. It must have finished unloading the goods and completed the transportation task.
Shen Yu retracted his gaze, a look of excitement flashed across his face.
Since the evolution of his eyes, even if the Sharingan is not turned on, his vision has surpassed that of the Hyuga family's Byakugan. Although he does not have the function of perspective, when it comes to the distance of clear observation, it is not far behind.
For now, he can easily focus thousands of meters away, and everything falls into his eyes clearly. Every car mark, every snowflake, and even the moles on the faces of everyone in the caravan can be clearly seen. Clearly.
Excellent mental power allows him to receive and process this information effortlessly. No matter what environment he is in, his eyes can automatically adjust to changes in humidity and refractive index. Even at night, his eyes are bright. Like day.
After all, these are a pair of eyes that can see into the trench.
About ten minutes later, the caravan slowly approached, and the leading warrior discovered Shen Yu.
"stop!" He raised a hand high, and his rough and loud voice echoed on the glacier.
The warrior approached step by step, stood a few meters in front of Shen Yu, and shouted,"Who is in front of you? Tell me your name!"
"uncle."
Shenyu showed an expression of surviving the disaster. Although he was pretending, tears filled his eyes for some reason.
"Uncle, can you give me a ride?"
His purpose is very simple. Since he is a road idiot, it is better to follow the locals instead of foolishly taking a long way around.
The warrior squinted his eyes and saw that under the bamboo hat was the face of a handsome young man.
The young man had red lips and white teeth. His eyes were clear and he was as handsome as a girl. His pleading tone and charming eyes made people feel compassionate.
However, his instinct as a warrior still allowed him to suppress his emotions.
"You still have not answered my question."The samurai pressed his hands to the handle of the sword.
"Uncle, don't kill me!"
Shenyu quickly got up and patted the ice and snow on his pants,"I am a fisherman. I followed my grandfather to deliver fish to the town this morning. Who would have thought that the wind and snow were too heavy. This old man... my grandfather actually fell off the car with me. I don’t even know, uncle, I’m so scared, what on earth is this place?……"
As he spoke, Shen Yu began to wipe away his tears. His pitiful look was not like he was pretending at all.
The vigilance in the samurai's eyes weakened a little, but the hand on the handle of the knife still did not move away,"What is your grandfather's name?"
"Miyamoto Musashi."Shenyu replied immediately, the name came out of his mouth without thinking.
"where is your house?"
"Machinomura"
"your name"
"Miyamoto...Shenyu"
"Well, it does seem to be a lost child."Seeing how decisively he answered, the warrior nodded, finally believing Shen Yu's words.
"Unfortunately, Machino Village is in the east, and we are going to Takeo Castle in the west, so we can't see you off."
Takeo is the name of the capital of the Kingdom of Iron.
Shenyu ran over excitedly and grabbed the samurai's hand,"Uncle, I just want to go to Takeo. You don't know something. We are going to the capital this time to join our relatives. Once I get there, I can find my family!
Seeing the samurai frowning, Shenyu immediately sniffed and said with a cry:"Now the weather is getting colder and colder. Our farmers who are driving to the sea have no harvest at all, and their income is pitiful. Now I have lost it. Grandpa must have lost it." I'm almost dying of anxiety……"
""Okay!" The warrior shook off Shen Yu's hand, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes,"Stop acting."
"ah?"Shen Yu was confused and didn't know what went wrong.
"I almost got fooled by you. The samurai clenched the handle of the knife and sneered:"Hmph, a child who has been frozen in the snow for an unknown amount of time can still have such warm hands!" Even if you are not an assassin, you are certainly not an ordinary person!"
"Hey, a hundred secrets and a sparseness."Shenyu sighed, wiped away the last trace of tears, and slowly raised his head,"What a waste of my acting skills."
A ray of scarlet flashed from the black and white eyes, and the warrior looked stunned. The three black magatama were like a bottomless whirlpool, pulling all his emotions and thoughts into it.
"Believe everything I just said, please show your kindness and help me go to Takeo City."Shenyu spoke softly, his plain tone revealing the majesty of destiny, which could not be disobeyed.
"Samurai-sama, what happened?"A middle-aged man walked over from the caravan with a slightly anxious look on his face,"Why aren't you leaving yet? The captain is urging you.……"
The warrior turned back,"Oh, it's okay. I met a child who was separated from his family. Let's take him with us. Is that okay?"
"Oh, this is all a trivial matter. Let’s get on the road quickly. As long as we don’t delay our schedule, we can do whatever we want.……"The businessman quickly greeted Shen Yu and saw that he was a child and arranged a carriage for him.
