Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

It took the man and the beast more than an hour to bury the body and clean up the surrounding traces.

People are so tired that they have to find a source of water to wash Xia Liang's paws.

"Sister, I'm hungry!" Before they had gone far, Xia Liang's stomach growled with hunger, shocking the entire forest.

No matter how big the trouble is, you can always avoid it with a strategy, but Da Hu's problem of hunger cannot be solved by just eating something.

"Xia Liang, why don't you go hunting? I'm afraid the dry food I brought with me is not enough for you to eat."

"I think I could eat a whole sheep."

Luo Yu held his forehead with his hand and said, "I'm afraid I can't roast a whole lamb for you, so you can just eat it raw."

"Sister, you know I'm most afraid of eating raw food. I don't want to be an inhuman beast."

"..."

It was getting dark and after a busy day, the 20 miles were still not completed.

Luo Yu roasted two pheasants, a wild rabbit, and a non-venomous black snake over two meters long. Although there was a small stream outside the forest, Luo Yu tried to avoid it and hide deep in the woods to avoid the Imperial City Bureau's men.

Xia Liang was eating with gusto. Before eating the meat, he insisted that Luo Yu put washed tree leaves under the roasted meat, saying that putting them on the ground would be too dirty. He was just being picky.

"Xia Liang, let's get going after you've eaten. It's safer for us to take the small road together at night."

"Sister Luo Yu, Brother Bingrui said he would catch up with us in a few days. We don't need to leave in such a hurry, right?"

Xia Liang felt that it was great to be in the forest. There was a lot of animal meat to eat, and he could also find a lot of wild vegetables to stuff into the meat and roast and mix together to eat. It was extremely delicious.

"I don't have any identification, so it's easy for me to be checked. You'll be too conspicuous walking on the main road during the day. How about we walk for two hours at night and then rest for three hours?"

"No problem, sis. Why don't you try riding on my back? I can run fast, but I don't have enough stamina. I can only run and stop."

"You ran like crazy this morning for the entire incense stick's worth of time. You have quite the endurance!"

"If I keep running like this, I'll collapse in no time. If I weren't being chased by a group of people, I wouldn't be running so hard."

Luo Yu sat on the white tiger without hesitation. The feeling of riding a tiger for the first time was indescribable. She felt as if her whole body was about to fall apart, and she lay on the white tiger's back. Xia Liang didn't dare to run too fast. She shuttled through the woods, feeling the free wind blowing on her face and body, which was particularly comfortable.

"Sister, are we going southwest? Are you sure the space-time chassis won't be discovered if it lands in its original location?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Back then, our predecessors built the Space-Time Computer Case in the deep mountains and forests to avoid being discovered by conservatives (those who don't advocate breaking the laws of the universe). No one would live in that kind of primeval forest unless it was a time of chaos."

"I don't think so. In the feudal era, people actually lived very separately. It's possible that someone moved in to avoid paying taxes."

"Well, this style is like you."

Run for a quarter of an hour, rest for ten minutes, and run for two hours on and off.

When I was almost out of the woods, I noticed that there was an endless plain and a wheat field in front of me.

Luo Yu sighed: "If there are crops, there should be a village nearby."

"Sister, are we still running forward?"

"Don't run yet, let's get some rest first! If there's a village ahead, we'll have to split up tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then let's find a place to have a good sleep. Sister, you sleep on me, it will be safe and warm at night."

Luo Yu shook her head and made a fire and stayed as far away as possible. Who knew if this guy would turn over and crush her to death in his sleep in the middle of the night? Although she had the skill of rebirth, she didn't want to repeat this kind of terrible life.

The next day, the first ray of sunlight shone on Luo E's face and Xia Shi's body. Luo E took a look and found that she had been sleeping against the tree trunk, but Xia Liang insisted on coming over and sleeping with his back to her. She leaned her whole body on Xia Liang's soft back, feeling extremely comfortable.

Xia Liang's love is always silent, like a gentle rain that moistens everything silently.

Luo Yu was moved and patted the big cat's cute cheek, but the white tiger's big claws pounced on him and scratched his face. Luo Yu dodged nimbly. This girl couldn't control her strength at all now, so it was better not to provoke her.

The man and the beast walked deep into the jungle, some hunting and some shooting.

Until the white tiger suddenly ran to Luo Yu with two rabbits in its mouth, put down the two trembling gray rabbits that dared not move, and spoke in a nervous tone.

"Sister, sister, I saw someone."

"Have you been discovered?"

"No, it's a wounded man in black. He seems to be bleeding from a chest injury."

"Is he from the Imperial City Division?"

"Probably not."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Afraid that the two gray rabbits would run away, Luo Hong raised his knife and swung it down, scaring Xia Liang so much that he covered his big eyes with his big paws.

Luo Yu snorted and laughed. She and Xia Liang should have swapped bodies.

The man in black was sitting against a tree trunk, wearing a white mask that only revealed his eyes. His hat was connected to his nightgown and was pulled down very low, but judging from his upright sitting posture, he should be very tall.

He covered his injured chest with one hand, probably to prevent the bleeding, and his other hand hung on the ground, holding a long sword.

His head was drooping and he seemed to be unconscious.

Luo Yu squatted down and used two fingers to probe the black-clothed man's nose. He was still breathing and not dead.

"Sister, this man is dressed in black, like an assassin. People from the Imperial City Division wouldn't dress like that."

"I guess so. Could it be that he was discovered and hunted down by the people from the Imperial City Bureau?"

"You mean the people from the Imperial City Bureau came out under the guise of chasing the White Tiger, but were actually chasing the assassin?" Xia Liang had watched too many 21st-century costume dramas, and his mind was full of conspiracy theories.

"I didn't mean that."

"Sister, should we save her?"

"No." Luo Yu turned his head and saw a hint of shock in Xia Liang's clear eyes, so he had to explain, "We don't have the strength to save him now. Besides, we don't know what he does. If he causes trouble, I will definitely not be able to deal with a tall man who knows martial arts with my weak body.

Although we live in a people-oriented concept, the current environment does not allow us to act according to our previous thinking.

"Xia Liang, just now we acted decisively against the two thieves, just like that. In this era, let's not think about saving people first, but rather, try to change this dynasty while preserving ourselves. Besides, saving or not saving one person won't affect our overall decision-making. There will always be people who sacrifice for the course of history, do you understand?"

"Sister, you said it very well. You can make the excuse of not helping someone in need sound so righteous."

"Well, as long as we are not the ones sacrificed, others will still have to sacrifice. We should not change the fate of others casually."

"Okay, let's go grill first."

Luo Yu looked back and saw that the sword in the man's hand looked good. No wonder he was reluctant to put down the sword even when he was dying.

She thought for a moment, then took out two cakes from her bag, put one in the hand holding the sword, and placed the other on him.

Xia Liang was stunned. Could it be that Sister Luo Yu suddenly had a change of heart?

When she saw Xia Liang snatch the long sword from the black-clothed man's sword-holding hand, she realized that she had overestimated Sister Luo Yu's conscience.

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. It's not too much for him to give me a sword as a reward!"

"Sister, you always make your heartless words sound fresh and refined. I admire you."

Luo Yu didn't want to do anything too cruel. If the person died, it would be a waste to leave the sword in the wild.

If the person is not dead, he must eat. With his injured body, he would probably starve to death before he could find food. She has saved a life, so lending him the sword can protect her, a weak woman. Everyone benefits, which is very good.

After eating, we set off. It’s a good day today.
