"I say, can you eat less? The sparrow hasn't eaten yet!"

On a public road, a thin, scholar-looking man was fighting over a steamed bun with a man who looked very well-dressed, but whose actions made others feel that he was very different.

The thin, yellow-haired little girl behind the scholar stared unhappily at the well-dressed man.

The man seemed to feel that he was in the wrong as he sighed and handed the steamed bun in his hand to the little girl called Little Sparrow.

"Here, I'll give you a bite when I see how pitiful you are."

Bird suddenly laughed and snatched the steamed bun from his hands. She tore off half of it and handed it to the scholar, while stuffing the other half into her own mouth.

The man looked at his empty palm and could not help but wail. "No conscience, no conscience!"

The scholar seemed to have already gotten used to the man's appearance. He rolled his eyes and no longer paid any attention to him. He picked up the steamed bun in his hand and began to eat it slowly.

The man also stopped his wailing. He turned around and took out an oilcake from his bosom. He sighed. "Fine, fine. Since you guys like eating steamed buns so much, then I'll only eat sesame seed cakes."

Afterwards, the scholar and the sparrow looked at each other before entering a new round of competition.

When the passersby saw this scene, their eyes were filled with contempt. However, the three of them weren't worried at all.

As night gradually fell, a bonfire was set on the side of the road.

Bird had already fallen asleep by the bonfire. It was unknown what the two men were thinking as they watched the light of the fire.

The man was the first to speak. "Ant, why do you want to go to the East Zhou?"

Hearing the man's words, the scholar did not refute his title. Instead, he used the firewood in his hand to stir up the firewood, making it burn even more vigorously.

"To study."

When the man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but then he said, "Reading?"

The firelight shone on the scholar's face, but his appearance could not be seen clearly. "Only the East Zhou Dynasty is considered a pure land for scholars. Probably, only there would one have the chance to see a prosperous era."

The man didn't say anything after hearing this. He whispered, "Dong Zhou!"

The scholar looked at the man and asked, "What about you?" I still don't know your name, why are you going to the East Zhou? "

The man laughed mischievously, took out a piece of Kobold Tail Grass from the grass not far away and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "My name is Lu Beiyou, I'm going to the Eastern Zhou to take samples."

Take things out? The man was slightly surprised when he heard this. It seemed that the man in front of him had a deep understanding of the East Zhou.

The scholar did not ask anymore after he asked. Although he was a scholar, he could still tell that Lu Beiyou was not ordinary. They were destined not to be the same people. Being able to travel together was already fate. Any more and it would be like talking about fate.

Seeing that the scholar had stopped talking, Lu Beiyou put the sword bag under his head and squinted his eyes under the firelight.

The well-dressed man was Lu Beiyou. After Bei Shan came down, the first thing he chose to do was to go to the Eastern Zhou Country. On one hand, he wanted to retrieve the complete 'Pure Yang'. On the other hand, he wanted to know if he could find information about his parents in the East Week.

On the way, he coincidentally met the boy and girl beside him. Upon hearing that the two of them were also heading for the Eastern Zhou Empire, Lu Beiyou felt a little pity for them.

The scholar called out to Bu Mayi, which was why Lu Beiyou had casually called out to him as' ant '. The scholar had retorted many times, but in the end, the retort had no effect. Slowly, the scholar had also accepted this form of address.

Lu Beiyou didn't know why he suddenly had such a good impression of the two in front of him, but after thinking about it carefully, it should've been because this scholar was very similar to Lao Kong.

The little girl he had been leading was picked up by the scholar by the side of the road. Later on, when he was chatting with the scholar, he found out that he was passing by a small town and saw the little girl fighting over food with two stray dogs.

Because the little girl had a few delicate freckles on the tip of her nose, the scholar had always called her Bird.

Lu Beiyou did not know how to rate this scholar. Foolish? Kind? In this martial arts world, strength was the rule of an overlord. The scholar had no idea how he had managed to walk this path.

Seeing the two of them falling asleep, Bu Mayi could only sigh. With a bonfire in front of them, he was not afraid of wolves at all.

However, in this world, sometimes people were even scarier than wolves. It was inevitable that they would run into bandits and bandits.

At that time, it would not be as simple as throwing away some silver taels.

Lu Beiyou, who was sleeping soundly, slowly opened his eyes, and spoke towards Bu Mayi: "I'm going out for a while."

Bu Mayi nodded his head, as if he was already used to it. He said softly: "Pay attention to your safety.

Hearing this, Lu Beiyou scoffed, "When they truly find you, will you still say such things?"

Bu Mayi thought for a while, then said: "Then let's kill him!"

Lu Beiyou could not help but give a thumbs up, "Sturdy!"

After speaking, he carried his sword sheath and walked into the forest. After a while, Lu Beiyou looked at the bandit who was lying on the ground and crying for his parents, and couldn't help but spit at him.

Why does it seem like I have become the ant's bodyguard?

Lu Beiyou secretly cursed, and said to the group of people in front of him: "Hurry up and hand over your silver taels!"

The group of people looked at each other, then quickly passed all the money they had to Lu Beiyou, before they ran off into the distance without even looking back.

Lu Beiyou shook the silver in his hand, and turned to walk into the dense forest.

Seeing Bu Mayi falling asleep with the sparrow against the bonfire, Lu Beiyou couldn't help but feel a chill in his body. Could this fellow be a pedophile?

However, he looked at the two of them who were mutually dependent on each other and sighed. Then, he sat down next to the bonfire. Forget it, I'll just sleep like this after it's late at night.

On the second day, Bu Mayi and Bird woke up, and realized that Lu Beiyou was staring at the two of them with his eyes closed.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lu Beiyou yawned and said listlessly: "I say ants, don't tell me you are a pedophile? Such a young child, yet you want to do it? "

Hearing Lu Beiyou's words, Bu Mayi could not help but explode as he shouted: "Bullshit, how could I, a scholar, do such a thing. I watched Bird curl up, afraid that she might be too cold, and fall asleep with her in his arms. What are you thinking! "

Lu Beiyou looked at the flustered and exasperated Bu Mayi and apologized profusely.

The little bird who had been hiding behind Bu Mayi, however, said in a low voice, "I'm not small anymore."

For a moment, the space around them quieted down. Sparrow saw the two of them looking at her and blushed.

Her voice was even softer, "I'm already fourteen, I can get married now."
