What should I do if the protagonist of every world I travel to is sick?
Chapter 236: Be a Child Again
"I see it's getting late, and there's only one extra storage room in the house. I wonder if you can make do with it." After helping the person into the room, Guapi turned around and came out, gently closing the door, and said to Lu Jinan who was full of concern.
"Of course." Lu Jinan glanced at the door, then took his arm and led him to the hall. He asked quietly, "I saw that he was weak. Why did you choose him as your master?"
After all, he cared more about this child who came from the same place.
Guapi scratched the back of his head. "Actually, I was the one who refused to leave. Although he was a little weak, he was not completely incompetent. This house was his. I was an orphan, a wild child, just a nanny and apprentice for him. I was the one who took me in and gave me the secret manual. I was the one who made the profit."
"Then your parents here..." Lu Jinan pursed his lips calmly as he looked at the man who was half his size.
"When I was born, they were slaughtered by monsters." He had just come here, and it was a hellish start.
Speaking of this, he was still a little scared, so much so that when he saw the monster in Lu Jinan's arms, he was actually a little cautious. However, seeing that Lu Jinan and his group were all capable and experienced, they should be more capable than him anyway.
Lu Jinan showed some pity for him in his eyes, but he also felt a renewed admiration for this man in his heart. He couldn't help but stroke his head with his palm, "You are amazing."
Guapi raised his head, and the palm of his hand on his head was warm. He awkwardly took his hand off, turned his head to the side, and said with a puffed-up cheek, "I'm growing now, don't touch my head."
In fact, when I heard his praise, I felt a little sad. If I wasn't afraid that he couldn't hold it back and burst into tears in front of others, it would be too pathetic.
Lu Jinan thought that the child looked really cute, like a little hamster. He couldn't help but want to pinch him, but the hand at his side pinched and pinched again, and finally saw that he looked up at him.
"By the way, when did you come here? If you hadn't told me you weren't a local, I wouldn't have been able to tell at all. And I feel like you're really powerful. Did you bring your own magic with you after traveling through time, or do you have a system or cheat code?"
"Or there is space or something!" Guapi looked up at him with stars in his eyes. He really thought Lu Jinan was very powerful, and the people around him also looked like powerful characters.
Suddenly he realized something and glanced at Chi Yu, who was wearing a tight black outfit. He quickly pulled Lu Jinan to the side and muttered, "Hey, your friend shouldn't have traveled through time, right? Then is it okay for me to say this so loudly?"
Lu Jinan looked at him with a smile and said, "Isn't it a bit late for you to realize these things now?"
Guapi'er's eyes widened and he quickly covered his mouth, then glanced at the person standing upright behind him.
"Is there something wrong? Actually, I always thought he was your bodyguard or something. So, should we avoid him when we talk?"
When Chiyu heard the word "guard", the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He glanced at Lu Jinan who was smiling maliciously across from him, and covered his eyes with his hands.
Little Fox.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Guapi just kept suppressing the corners of his mouth, and his eyes couldn't help but move between the two of them.
"What are you laughing at? Can you care about the life and death of a short person?"
Lu Jinan suppressed his laughter and glanced at the "guard" opposite him. He lowered his head and said seriously, "You're right. We really need to avoid him."
After saying this, he half-bowed to Guapi and extended his ceremonial hand, with a smile in his eyes as he said, "Then I'll ask this young gentleman to find a quiet place."
Seeing the gentleman's hand suddenly extended by this person, and the impeccable face before him, he couldn't help but relax for a moment. This person... was a little too good-looking...
Chiyu's face darkened a little, and his eyes were fixed on the hand that Lu Jinan extended.
Guapi didn't really know much about etiquette, and didn't know what he should do at this moment. Just as he felt a little embarrassed, Lu Jinan retracted his polite hand and said, "I need to explain something to my friend. Young sir, please wait here for a moment."
Guapi nodded several times in a daze, then retracted his little fleshy hand that was about to reach out from his sleeve.
This person is so polite, it feels like he is on a level of human that I could never meet in my previous life.
Seeing Lu Jinan walking towards him, Chiyu's face was still a little gloomy.
Seeing him approaching her without hesitation, she pulled his sleeve in her hand and said, "Master Guard, could you please bend down a little? I have something to tell you."
Akabane was originally holding a grudge, but when he heard him teasing her like that, he didn't want to pay any attention to him anymore.
So Lu Jinan pulled his sleeve and saw that he didn't react at all, so he could only pull up his hand, spread his hand on his own, and wrote with his index finger: I'm going to ask some questions, you let Mrs. Leopard out to check her injuries. They are a little resistant to monsters, so try not to let them come into contact with them.
Akabane's palm was constantly stroked by the soft fingertips, and there was an indescribable feeling in his chest. So after Lu Jinan finished writing, he raised his head and felt Akabane looking at him with a very strange gaze.
Akabane: Little fox.
Lu Jinan:?
After expressing his meaning, he put down his hand and turned around without hesitation and walked towards Guapi.
The little Zhunu stood alone on Chiyu's shoulder with his legs crossed and laughed maliciously. Chiyu understood the implication of the laughter and imitated Lu Jinan's action of grabbing its wings and threw the beast into the space.
Guapi led Lu Jinan to a small bamboo pavilion not far from the back door. The surrounding land was planted with vegetables, fruits and the like. A large area of them had ripened in this season, and the abundant fruits made people feel fulfilled just by looking at them.
"Young man, did you plant all these?" Lu Jinan covered his mouth lightly, his eyes showing genuine shock at the child in front of him who looked only five or six years old.
After all, that person doesn't look like a person who can do farming.
Guapi coughed lightly, "Ahem, actually he planted it." Then he added quickly, "My name now is Guapi, just call me by my name." Otherwise it would feel awkward to call me Mr. Little Master.
Lu Jinan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing. "I am just a small wizard compared to a big wizard. I didn't expect Master Qingyi to be such a pragmatic person."
"There's nothing I can do. I'm poor and my magic power is not that great. I have to be pragmatic to fill my stomach." Guapi waved his hand. Life had already smoothed out his edges.
"In fact, fortune-telling can also earn a lot of commission. From what I heard earlier, I can tell that your master likes fortune-telling. Why do you suppress it?"
"It's mainly because he's too accurate in his calculations. They say that calculating one's destiny will damage one's own wisdom. His health was already poor, and if he were to calculate a few more times, I'm afraid he'd be dead."
Lu Jinan nodded thoughtfully. This was indeed the case.
"So his poor health is also due to this?"
Guapi pondered for a moment and explained, "I'm not sure. He hasn't told me about this. It's a small matter and won't affect anything. But everyone understands that everyone craves to know the unknown. If his ability gets out, all the human and demon forces in the mortal world will come after him. Although life will definitely be more comfortable than it is now, it will also make us live with more worry."
"I have also mentioned my opinion on this matter to him. He agrees with me and has decided to stop worrying and avoid trouble." Especially since he was involved in this trouble, he didn't say this because he still wanted to save face.
If it weren't for the fortune he told him, he would have been left alone and unadopted.
In fact, Guapi was half-believing in his ability. After all, he had calculated that he would have a bad fate and would attract misfortunes throughout his life, so he had to take responsibility and protect him. He didn't believe that he could kill him.
So, the reason why he didn't let him tell fortunes was because he was afraid that his mouth would lead to someone assassinating him in advance.
Who among the powerful and wealthy can accept his own bad fate?
If you don't have the ability to fight against the powerful, don't sit in a position pushed to you by the powerful.
"If one day he is willing to take that position, what will you do?"
"Then I naturally won't stop him. This is his choice and his life." Guapi smiled at him.
"I'm just his apprentice, but I have no right to control the path he takes."
Guapi suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask, "You've interrupted me for a long time. When did you get here? You can easily pull out a bottle of elixir. Is this the so-called realm of immortal cultivation?"
When asked about this, Guapier would talk endlessly, "But he learned from a great master, or he had some amazing help like a cheat code or a script!"
After saying that, he grabbed Lu Jinan's arm, tears welling up in his eyes, "Then do you know how to leave here? I really can't stand it for a moment."
These words caused a shadow not far away to turn away.
Neither of them realized that there was someone following them all the time.
Lu Jinan was a little overwhelmed by the sudden outburst of emotion, and his voice softened. "My companions and I accidentally entered the formation from different places, and then we broke the formation and came here. I can take you away from here, but first I have to explain to you the peculiarities of this world."
"You said that seeing monsters in this area means that they exist. That must be different from the physical and mental worlds of our original world. This area is the lower mortal realm, just like the immortal cultivation novels we read in our world. I can take you out of the mortal realm, but only back to the realm of the gods where I am."
"Oh my god, you've been transported to the body of a god!" Guapi almost kicked the stool over in excitement, but when he came to his senses, his face wrinkled. "Is this the fate of the protagonist and supporting characters in novels? Wuwu..."
But she was only sad for three seconds, then she hugged the golden thigh tightly and smiled flatteringly, "I am willing to follow you, sir, until we get home."
"No! When I get home I will remember you and offer sacrifices to you every day, burning incense continuously."
"So, do you know how to let me go home? I really miss my family and friends." When he said this, Guapi looked depressed.
Lu Jinan didn't want to dampen his confidence, so he touched the small tuft on his head and said, "You're able to come here, so there must be an opportunity or destiny here for you. If you can decipher it, maybe it will be the code for you to go home."
He looked at him tenderly and said, "As long as you don't give up and stay in this world, one day you will be able to go back and see them."
"If it really doesn't work, then just live well. Then I will help you find a way back."
Guapi'er's eyes were really red now, but he tried to hold back the tears in his eyes. He wiped them vigorously with the back of his hand and turned his face away.
He said with a choked voice, "Thank you. I feel much more at ease after hearing your words."
"Actually, I've never felt safe or at home here. I've even thought about what would happen if I died today and woke up in my bed in my own world tomorrow."
"But I'm a coward. I wouldn't dare to guarantee anything with my life. The reason I live here every day is to wait for the day when I can return to my original world."
Tears flowed down his cheeks and to the corners of his mouth. Lu Jinan bent down and handed him a handkerchief.
"Either you cry or you laugh. It would be ugly if you kept crying and laughing at the same time."
Hearing this, Guapi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. He wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand and said, "I've never seen anyone comfort others like this."
Lu Jinan also smiled and said to him, "Don't be afraid, at least in this world you have met people who care about you and love you, and we will all be with you. Just think of yourself as a child again, and leave the rest to us."
