Chapter 382 Jianghu and Young Master Chu

Chapter 382 Jianghu and Young Master Chu

"The spring breeze blows, the peach blossoms are fragrant, boy, let me taste the wine..."

On a mountain trail, a handsome young man carried a bamboo basket on his back and hummed a folk song.

This young man was Chu Liang in reincarnation.

In this life, he was born in a small village called "Peach Blossom Village".

There is a peach forest in the mountains behind the village. Now is the time for peach blossoms to bloom. When the spring breeze blows, the petals fly, and the whole mountain is filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.

Like other villagers, he farms during the busy farming season and goes into the mountains to collect herbs in his spare time.

After collecting good herbs, he goes to the town to exchange them for money, and gradually saves some silver money.

Occasionally, he goes to the restaurant in the town to buy some wine and listen to the storytellers in the restaurant telling stories of chivalry.

Those stories are about love and swordplay, and he is always intoxicated.

"It would be great if I were a hero."

He couldn't help thinking, and he longed for the life of a hero in the world.

But he knew that he had no chance of living that kind of life, and he would probably be an ordinary farmer in this life.

One day, he was picking herbs as usual.

When he passed by the peach forest, his steps suddenly stopped, his eyes changed, and he looked at a peach tree.

Under the peach tree, there was a bloody girl lying.

She was pale and motionless, and she didn't know how long she had been lying there. There was a bloody long sword beside her.

"Dead?"

Chu Liang was shocked, and hurried over. He reached out and found that the girl was still breathing.

She was still alive!

He immediately picked up the girl, hurried back to the village, returned to his yard, and closed the door.

Then, he cleaned the blood from the girl's wound, sewed the wound with a thin thread, and applied some herbs for treating external injuries.

"Whether she can survive depends on God's will."

Chu Liang worked for a long time, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought silently.

This girl in green was not from the village.

The villagers were all wearing coarse linen clothes, but the green clothes on the girl were made of unknown material, which was extremely tough and exquisitely made.

Chu Liang's eyes quickly moved to the long sword.

The hilt and the sword ridge were both deep green, the sword body was slender and strong, the whole body was silver and bright like frost, and the sword edge was shining with sharp cold light. It was a good sword of high quality at first glance.

Chu Liang used his axe to collide with the sword.

"Dang!"

The axe trembled, and a gap immediately appeared on the blade.

Chu Liang was immediately heartbroken. If he had known, he would not have tried it.

"This sword is really powerful, so sharp, it is almost the same as the swords described by those storytellers in the restaurant. Could this girl in green be a female hero in the rivers and lakes?"

Chu Liang couldn't help but imagine a fantasy of swords and shadows.

He held the sword, walked to the yard, and swung it a few times. Although it was messy and even looked a little funny, he felt that he had the demeanor of a hero.

"I must have been a peerless master in my previous life!" He was very satisfied with this set of random swordsmanship.

Then, he put away the sword, returned to the house, and continued to observe the girl's situation.

In the second half of the night, the girl's face became paler and her whole body was still feverish, but her body was shaking as if she had caught a cold.

"I'm afraid she can't make it."

Chu Liang frowned. He had seen similar situations before.

The old carpenter in the village was bitten by a badger in the mountains when he went into the mountains a few years ago. After returning, he had a high fever and died within two days.

The girl now looks similar to the old carpenter before he died.

But what Chu Liang didn't expect was that in the morning of the next day, the girl's high fever gradually subsided and her body stopped shaking.

At noon, her eyelids trembled a few times, and she barely opened her eyes.

Her eyes were full of fatigue. She slowly turned her eyes and looked around. Then she looked at Chu Liang and said weakly, "Thank you... Thank you for saving me, young master."

Chu Liang replied, "I didn't do anything. The girl is lucky and has a long life. She is not destined to die."

The girl said in a hoarse voice, "If it weren't for the young master's rescue, I would have died in the mouths of jackals in the mountains."

As she spoke, her right arm moved slightly, and her brows immediately frowned, apparently affected by the injury.

Chu Liang said to her, "The girl is seriously injured and needs to stay in bed to recover. If you need anything, just tell me."

"In that case..."

The girl pondered for a moment, and then reported the names of more than ten kinds of medicines in succession.

"Jiujiefeng, Sanxuecao, Shenjincao..."

After listening to it, Chu Liang felt a little overwhelmed.

The first medicines were okay, they were all relatively cheap. He even had two kinds at home, but the latter ones were extremely expensive, and he couldn't afford them even if he sold them.

As if she saw his embarrassment, the girl moved her right hand with difficulty, took out the brocade bag from her waist, handed it to Chu Liang, and said: "There are some broken silver and gold in it, please trouble me, young master."

"No trouble."

Chu Liang took the brocade bag, opened it, and a glimmer of gold suddenly appeared in his eyes.

This was the first time he had seen gold since he grew up, and he couldn't help but take it out and take a bite.

"It's really gold!"

Chu Liang couldn't help but exclaimed.

Seeing him like this, the girl couldn't help but smile. Chu Liang cleaned her wounds all over her body, but didn't find any gold in the brocade bag. His heart was really simple.

If it were a greedy person, the first thing he would do was to search for her property. If there were a lot of property, he might kill her for money.

In the days that followed, Chu Liang kept going back and forth between the village and the town, buying a lot of medicines and supplements.

There are several more small stoves in the room, each of which is simmering different medicinal soups.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

The medicine pot is constantly surging, white mist is steaming, and the rich and bitter smell of medicine fills the whole room.

Seven days have passed, and the girl can barely get up.

During this period, Chu Liang often communicated with her and learned that her name is "Su Qingyu". Her family lives in the city far away from here, and her family is in the escort business.

She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her martial arts are not weak. Later, she traveled around and became famous in the world.

The reason why she was seriously injured this time was because she was plotted against by the enemy. Although she fought hard to kill the enemy, she almost died.

"So, Miss Su is that kind of female hero in the world?" Chu Liang was very happy. He had heard countless stories about knights, and now he could see one with his own eyes.

"Female hero in the world?"

Su Qingyu smiled.

She asked softly, "Mr. Chu, do you know what Jianghu is?"

Chu Liang thought for a moment and answered hesitantly, "It's where knights wander around?"

Su Qingyu asked again, "What is a knight?"

"This..."

Chu Liang rubbed his brows and thought for a long time.

In his mind, those who walked around Jianghu with swords on their backs were knights, but he felt that this answer was not perfect enough.

Su Qingyu smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, the world is so big that there is no place without Jianghu. The prosperous capital is Jianghu, and the remote and quiet mountain villages are also Jianghu. Wherever there are people, there is Jianghu."

Chu Liang nodded thoughtfully.

Su Qingyu said again, "As for knights, children of noble families can be knights, street vendors can be knights, and everyone can be a knight, including Mr. Chu."

"Me?" Chu Liang was surprised.

"Mr. Chu saved me from danger, which is a chivalrous act." Su Qingyu explained patiently, "Therefore, Mr. Chu deserves the title of 'Young Master Chu'."

"Young Master Chu?"

Chu Liang was stunned and froze on the spot.

At this moment, for some reason, he was suddenly touched, as if something was surging in the depths of his memory.

He seemed to have heard this title many years ago...
