Chapter 43 Call me Gu Chengyan from now on



Dragging his injured body, he fled all the way to the back mountain of Lijia Village, where he happened to run into Ji Liangchuan who was hunting and was being torn apart by several wolves.

Gu Chengyan, who was already injured at this time, risked his life to rescue Ji Liangchuan.

But it was too late. Ji Liangchuan's internal organs had been eaten by the wolves and there was no way to save him.

After burying Ji Liangchuan's body.

Gu Chengyan simply went all out and replaced Ji Liangchuan's identity, and recuperated at the Ji family in Lijia Village as Ji Liangchuan.

During this period, he went up the mountain and rescued the original owner 'Lin Jiuyue'.

Before his injury was fully healed, news came that a group of people were fleeing famine again. Gu Chengyan had no choice but to continue to replace Ji Liangchuan and flee with the villagers.

Anyway, the victims were heading towards the capital, so it was just on their way.

During the escape, because of lack of preparation and the fact that Ji Liangchuan's family had no food or water, he fainted on the mountain due to hunger and lack of water. He was rescued by Lin Jiuyue and Lin Qiye, brother and sister.

Lin Jiuyue really wanted to knock open Ji Liangchuan's head to see if this guy's head was filled with tofu dregs.

He knew going to the battlefield was dangerous, yet he still rushed to go. What else could he do but be stupid?

"You still went when you knew it?"

Ji Liangchuan was silent for a moment.

"Every man is responsible for the fate of his country. Without soldiers standing in front of the enemy, how can the people live and work in peace? Everyone will die, but in different ways."

Lin Jiuyue doesn't understand the righteousness of family and country, she just wants to lie down and live her life.

But what Ji Liangchuan said seemed to make some sense.

If there is no one charging forward in the front, it would be impossible for me to lie down.

Besides, God has allowed me to travel to the Kingdom of Nanyue, so there must be a reason for that, right?

At this moment, Lin Jiuyue was actually a little hesitant.

Gu Chengyan, who was walking in front, waited for a long time but didn't hear Lin Jiuyue's voice. He turned around and saw Lin Jiuyue still standing there, wondering what he was thinking.

"Why don't you leave? What are you thinking about?"

Lin Jiuyue shook her head and put aside all the messy thoughts in her mind.

Why think so much? I'm still fleeing famine! I can deal with anything after the famine is over! The current difficulties are enough for me to overcome.

"Nothing."

"By the way, Ji Liangchuan, have you ever been on the battlefield before?"

Lin Jiuyue mentioned it casually as if unintentionally.

"No, I was recuperating in Mount Wutai."

Lin Jiuyue: ...

Never been to the battlefield? And he's still a sickly person? With his condition, he still wants to go to the battlefield? He's crazy!

"You're a patient yourself, and you still want to go to the battlefield? Do you want to die?"

"I'm almost well now. Besides, I never let myself down when I was in Mount Wutai. I practice martial arts regularly, so going to the battlefield shouldn't be a problem."

What Gu Chengyan didn't say was that his illness had almost healed, but he still felt weak occasionally.

I don’t know what happened recently, but that feeling of fatigue has never appeared again.

Gu Chengyan couldn't figure it out, so he gave up thinking about it. He just thought that he might be completely healed. He didn't think about Lin Jiuyue giving him the spiritual spring water to drink.

Even if there were any doubts, it would be impossible to imagine that Lin Jiuyue, an 'ordinary' peasant girl, could have such a good thing.

"Tsk, stop bragging. If you were really that powerful, you wouldn't have collapsed in the mountains. If we hadn't seen you and rescued you, you would have been fed to the wolves by now."

Gu Chengyan did not deny it.

Fainting in the mountains is indeed a very dangerous thing.

"Thank you for saving my life. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."

Lin Jiuyue waved her hand.

"There's no need to repay me. You saved my life before in the village, so we're even now."

Gu Chengyan twitched the corners of his mouth.

"good."

"Well, we've been together for a few days, so we're considered acquaintances, right? Can you show me what you look like under that human skin mask?"

Gu Chengyan frowned.

"Forget it if you can't watch it."

Lin Jiuyue was a little disappointed. She had been with the person for so many days, but she still didn't know what he looked like.

Just when Lin Jiuyue gave up, Gu Chengyan suddenly spoke.

"There are too many people here, wait until there's no one around before watching."

After hearing this, Lin Jiuyue was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.

"You said that, I didn't force you to do that."

"Um."

"A gentleman's word is as good as gold. Anyone who goes back on his word is a puppy."

Gu Chengyan twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"good."

Lin Jiuyue was in a very good mood after getting the promise.

"My name is Gu Chengyan. When no one is around, just call me Gu Chengyan."

Lin Jiuyue blinked.

Is this guy finally willing to tell me his real name?

"Gu Chengyan? Gu?"

Lin Jiuyue kept repeating the name in a low voice, searching her mind for families with the surname Gu in the capital.

But the original owner was just a country girl, and she knew nothing about the affairs of the capital, and had no idea which families in the capital had the surname Gu.

After thinking for a long time without any solution, Lin Jiuyue gave up completely.

You are making friends with others, so why bother about their family?

Gu Chengyan didn't know how far he and Lin Jiuyue and others could go together. He wanted to give Lin Jiuyue something so that Lin Jiuyue could find him with the thing when she arrived in the capital. But after thinking about it, he didn't think of anything on him that symbolized his status.

Only a jade pendant could prove his identity, but it was made by his grandfather specifically for him when he was born. The material was extremely rare. He even invited a high-ranking monk to bless him with it. He said it would protect him and help him grow up safely.

Now that I have grown up, it shouldn't matter if I don't have this warm jade, right?

Gu Chengyan placed his hand on the warm jade on his chest, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it out and handed it to Lin Jiuyue.

"This warm jade is something I carry with me. If you encounter any difficulties after you arrive in the capital, you can take this warm jade to the Gu family. Someone will then help you with all their strength for the sake of the warm jade."

Lin Jiuyue took the warm jade and looked at it.

Although I don't know much about jade, I can tell that this jade pendant is worth a lot of money.

Gu Chengyan just said that this warm jade is his personal belongings. No matter how greedy he is, he cannot take other people's personal belongings.

Besides, in this era, women can't accept things from men at will, especially personal belongings like this. If it was money or something, she might have accepted it.

"Haha, you don't need that, do you? This thing belongs to you, I can't have it. Instead of giving me this, you might as well give me some real money."

Gu Chengyan: ...

Does this girl know how much this jade pendant is worth?
