Chapter Five: Pei (Three)
Thus, let the sisters Lü Zhi and Lü Huan come to inquire about the situation
Liu Kan's father was once a wandering hero in the vicinity of Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. After the Eastern Zhou was destroyed by the Qin, Liu Kan's father took his family and fled to Shanfu. Liu Kan's father, Liu Fu, was highly skilled in martial arts and had a modest reputation, so he became a guest of the Lü family.
I understood it all at once
This is primarily due to damage to the heart and kidneys, which causes the soul to become dispersed
He pretended to ponder for a moment, "Mother, we have already caused quite a bit of trouble for Dong Weng on this journey. Once we arrive in Pei, I believe there is no need to trouble the Dong family any further. I am strong and capable; should I still worry about not having enough to eat"
Kan Ao smiled and said, "Well, it depends on what Kan has to say. Along this journey, Aunt still has some money and silk on her, so everything will be decided by Kan."
Liu Kan was taken aback and cast a curious glance at the side of Lu Zhi. However, he found that Lu Zhi was lowering her head, seemingly unwilling to meet his gaze
The old man raised his head and let out a sigh
Perhaps after having walked through the gates of hell, one understands
Very good
The White-Browed Elder bid farewell and departed
Aunt, will you still be living with us after we arrive in Pei?
Indeed, Lü Zhi's body trembled slightly as she raised her head to look at Liu Kan, her gaze appearing particularly complex
Mr. Qu said: "But, Senior Brother, he was injured in the chest earlier, which is something we all witnessed. How can we explain that?"
Kang Ao is deeply affectionate towards her son and possesses a simple and sincere nature
Liu Shanjun ... No, from now on, he should be called Liu Kan
In her youth, she was called Kan Ji, and she was a renowned woman in the Luoyang area. Born into a fallen noble family, she was literate and could drive a carriage and shoot arrows. Therefore, although no one was willing to drive the carriage for her and her son, these difficulties could not defeat Kan Ao.
After hundreds of years of turmoil during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, a peculiar phenomenon emerged in society alongside the proliferation of books: the nurturing of scholars
This ... ...
Wisdom, intelligence, ability, and expertise have become the capital and means for many to establish themselves in the world and seek wealth and nobility
The notion of possession by a ghost is not appropriate
Bad Kuan
The youth quickly responded and parted ways with the old man with white eyebrows at the fork in the road
Liu Kan came to his senses, turned his head, and gave an awkward smile, "Mother, I understand, I understand..."
Lü Zhi's eyes lit up, "Kan, you have truly changed!"
Kan Ao said softly: "A Zhi is a good girl... A Xuan is also a good girl"
Although the body's flexibility is not sufficient, it can be developed through practice
Liu Kan has temporarily adapted to his body and is able to get out of bed and walk
The child understands
Mounted on a green donkey at the entrance, I proceeded leisurely
Lu Weng simply arranged for a separate carriage for Liu Kan and his mother to ride in. However, as no one was willing to drive the carriage for them, Kan Ao volunteered to take on the role of the driver. As for Liu Kan, although he was still unable to control his body freely, he was able to assist Kan Ao in driving the carriage.
The current Liu Kan is not the same as the original Liu Kan; his temperament is exceedingly proud. Even if the Lü family is willing, he would likely not want to live under someone else's roof
The White-Browed Elder pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "I remember you have an uncle who lives in Pei, am I correct?"
You should try to get in touch with your cousin and ask him to keep an eye on things... Yes, you should set off now, and after you finish your business, come back to Liuxian to find me
Lü Xuan asked, "Akan, now that you have arrived in Pei, are you still living with us?"
The child understands
Why does the name Lü Zhi sound familiar to me
There is guilt, and there is also astonishment
Lü Weng looked at the old man in surprise and asked somewhat perplexedly, "What is the condition of soul departure? How could Kan contract such a peculiar illness?"
The White-Browed Elder said: "My master uncle, Xu Shi (pronounced 'fu'), has been wandering the four corners of the world, making his whereabouts difficult to track. However, I have heard that he was seen near Mount Tai some time ago. If the Eastern Elder wishes to seek him out, a trip to Mount Tai would be advisable, but I cannot guarantee that he will be found. After I return, I will also try to contact my master uncle; in any case, I will resolve this matter as soon as possible"
Before Lü Zhi could speak, Lü Juan pouted, picked up the whip from the yoke, and struck Liu Kan, saying, "Then, won't there be no one to play with me in the future"
In this case, I would trouble you, sir
Since the Lü family is now probing for information, it is best to go along with the flow.
Liu Kan nodded and said, "Let it be according to my mother's arrangement"
It is essential to quickly adapt to this new identity. The notion of soul detachment may be concealed for a time, but it is impossible to hide it for a lifetime
Suddenly smiling, he muttered to himself: "Regardless of whether he is a prodigy or not, this small Peixian County will likely become even more lively because of it"
Akan, do not think about it any longer
The White-browed Elder ignored Mr. Qu, stood up, and clasped his hands towards Old Lu, saying, "East Elder, that child possesses quite a remarkable disposition; it would indeed be worthwhile to observe him closely."
During the late Warring States period, wise individuals emerged from the seven states
In her eyes, regardless of whether Liu Kan is a monster or not, he is her son and, moreover, her hope for survival
Mr. Lu rose and said, "You have worked hard, sir! The father of that child perished because of my Lu family, and now that such a thing has happened to him, I find it truly difficult to be at ease. You just mentioned that your esteemed master possesses considerable abilities; however, I do not know your esteemed master's surname or given name, nor where I should go to seek him out."
The young man nodded and said, "Indeed, however, we have not been in contact for three generations. I have only heard that he has a son, who is my cousin, nineteen years old, named Shen Shiqi. Beyond that, I know nothing more!"
Young man, one does not speak of strange forces and chaotic spirits, yet there are some matters that we cannot decipher. How could I not see that Liu Kan's vitality has long been extinguished? Yet he is clearly alive and can recount many past events; it is likely that there is another mystery, one that we cannot fathom... It is better to wait for our esteemed master to intervene, as he may discern something. However, before that, we must not reveal the secrets of heaven to prevent unforeseen circumstances
Liu Kan smiled indifferently, "Sister, it’s fine, it won’t hurt, right? However, a true man has ambitions that reach far and wide. Is it possible for my mother and I to live under someone else's roof for a lifetime? I am still young and should strive to rise up. Even if I return one day covered in wounds and blood, I believe the Eastern Elder will not abandon me."
This matter is likely not what Lu Xuan wishes to inquire about. It is estimated that the Lu family still harbors reservations towards him and is rather unwilling to accept him and his mother again
The son sat beside her, and Kan Ao was extremely happy.
As she spoke, her bright eyes suddenly became filled with tears
If this body were to practice Muay Thai, it would likely be even more outstanding than his original body. Liu Kan, feeling satisfied, turned and walked towards the carriage
My mentor once left behind a book that recorded similar ailments. Just now, I spent a moment with that child and did not feel that there was any significant issue.
Kàn Āo turned her head to glance at Liú Kàn and said softly, "Once we arrive in Pei, we will return the carriage to Dong Weng and then carefully plan our future matters"
Not bad
With prominent eyebrows and large eyes, he has a square face. It cannot be said that he is handsome or charming, but he is certainly not unattractive. Overall, he would score around 60 to 70 points.
Liu Kan lowered his head, clenched his fists, and looked up and down as if observing something very interesting, while secretly checking the functions of his body. As a nutritionist, he could be considered half a doctor. Overall, Liu Kan was quite satisfied with his body.
As for the treatment of this soul-separation syndrome, I regret to say that I am powerless. However, I have a master uncle who has conducted considerable research in this area. If the Eastern gentleman is willing, he may send someone to find my master uncle at https://mhetushucom.com, and he will surely be able to cure the ailment with ease. Well, that is the general situation.
However, Liu Kan was taken aback, fully aware that the previous statement was certainly worlds apart from Liu Kan's original temperament
The phrase 'three thousand retainers under the door' refers to the practice of great nobles maintaining scholars to seek power, while small merchants also support scholars to ensure the safety of their families
Lu Weng also considered it a matter settled, unwilling to linger any longer in the mulberry fields. The next day, he set off on his journey to Pei County
In Liu Kan's view, Lu Juan is still young, naive, and completely unaware of the malice in people's hearts. However, Lu Zhi is clever and will certainly be able to discern it.
They roamed between various countries, navigating among the feudal lords and nobles, selling their skills. If someone took notice of them, they would join that person's ranks and become a guest. Individuals like Liu Fu, who were wanderers, were no different. Perhaps they were not valued among the feudal lords and nobles, but for small merchants and minor nobles, such figures were already quite remarkable and would receive extraordinary treatment.
Perhaps due to the training in martial arts from a young age, this physique is particularly robust
The White-Browed Elder chuckled and said, "Junior Brother, could you first explain to me the scene you witnessed in the early hours of yesterday?"
Having finished speaking, Lü Zhi took Lü Huan and left
Not yet fifteen years old, already standing at 174 centimeters tall, which, according to the terminology of the time, is approximately seven feet six inches, can be considered quite tall
Kang Ao stood by, seemingly very pleased, nodding gently
The old man with white eyebrows said: "If a person suffers from heart and kidney damage, they will experience a state of restlessness, with their spirit soaring while lying down, their body in bed but their soul leaving it, often accompanied by palpitations and nightmares. Many matters will arise with unclear memories, even confusion. For instance, he can recognize his mother and two young ladies, but he cannot recognize the master or the two young masters... Many things are muddled and cannot be clearly articulated... For example, he can recognize his mother and two young ladies, but he cannot recognize the master or the two young masters... Many things are muddled and cannot be clearly articulated...
Lü Zhi snatched the whip from He Tu and said, "A'yan, you must not be disrespectful!"
I stretched my body by the river and performed two movements based on the fundamental techniques of Muay Thai
Throughout this journey, Liu Kan has come to understand the era he is in more clearly. Of course, most of the time he must feign madness and act foolishly. On one hand, this is to avoid drawing attention, and on the other hand, he needs to quickly adapt to his own body and acquire the ability to protect himself
soul loss syndrome
Lü Zhi softly said: "No matter what, in my heart, Kan is still my little brother"
However, although it has been proven that Liu Kan is not a monster, the members of the Lu family still do not dare to approach him, nor are they willing to do so
Liu Kan's heart trembled as he looked at Lu Zhi's silhouette. Even now, he still found Lu Zhi's name very familiar, yet he could not recall where he had heard it before
Whenever Liu Kan inquired, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Kan'ao would always respond readily
Kan Ao has no name, only a surname
During the break, Liu Kan ran to the riverbank to take a look
The family business of the single father is no longer in existence; fortunately, he had acquired property in Pei during his early years, allowing him to live comfortably and freely.
Just then, Liu Kan walked over
When it comes to it, Liu Kan's physique is quite remarkable
At this moment, the convoy set off once again. Liu Kan sat beside his mother, watching her skillfully handle the horse-drawn carriage, yet his thoughts became chaotic.
The boy was evidently frightened by the words of the old man with white eyebrows, nodding repeatedly
There is not an ounce of excess flesh on the body, with muscles bulging like iron lumps. Although it lacks some softness, the strength is exceptionally ample
Liu Kan spoke these words without revealing his emotions, simultaneously conveying to Lü Zhi: I, Liu Kan, do not partake in food that is offered out of pity
A young apprentice followed closely beside him and quietly asked, "Master, regarding Liu Kan, his brow appears dark, clearly indicating a sign of imminent demise. Why do you not speak of it?"
