Chapter 9 The Second Brother Zhou Chen

  "Are you playing dead?"

  He looked at Lin Feng like that, and quickly shook his head, breaking away from the state. Then he said to Lin Feng: "Nothing, nothing, Brother Feng, you're really amazing! How did you do it just now? And thank you, you saved my life just now, if it wasn't for you, I would definitely not have survived, and also got you injured, I'm really sorry!" After finishing, he smiled at Lin Feng with a guilty conscience.

  Lin Feng shook his head and said, "It's nothing, don't mind it, it's not a big deal, just scratched the skin a bit, it'll be fine in two days. It's just a pity about my pants..." You know, Lin Feng only has this one set of clothes here... Yesterday in Xi'an, it was already June, and he was wearing thin jeans and a short-sleeved T-shirt! Although today's Chang'an wasn't cold, Lin Feng didn't have any spare clothes to change into.

  Lin Feng looked at his arm again and said, "You're Little Zhou, right? Are you okay? I just tore your clothes and scratched the wound a bit..." Lin Feng smiled awkwardly. Little Zhou directly replied, "It's fine, it's fine, don't worry about it. My arm has stopped bleeding already, just some skin was scraped off. By the way, how are you here? Weren't you with Old Zhao and them?"

  Lin Feng replied, "I wasn't at ease with you guys over here, so I came ahead of time to take a look. Let them rest in place and wait! Alright, since nothing major happened, let's hurry back first! They're still waiting! By the way, aren't you two supposed to be together? How come there's only one of you left? Who was with you? What happened?"

  Suddenly, Lin Feng looked at Little Zhou and became a bit sorrowful. Then he said: "I was with my cousin Maozi in the same team, responsible for scouting ahead of us. We discovered a small group of rebels not far away, about ten people, roasting and eating a wild boar they had killed. My cousin couldn't resist, saying he was hungry and wanted to sneak over to where they were roasting the boar, steal some intestines or something back for us to eat too. But... but we got discovered, and while escaping, my cousin got shot in the neck by that archer..." As he spoke, Little Zhou burst into tears, then suddenly became extremely furious, shouting: "I'll kill them, those beasts!!! We didn't provoke them, yet they killed my cousin like that!"

  Lin Feng patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Brother, don't grieve! Nothing can be done about it, that's just how things are in this era... If possible, we'll be brothers, and together we'll avenge your elder brother!"

  "Really, Lin Feng? Can we really be brothers?" Little Zhou suddenly asked, pulling on Lin Feng's arm.

  "Well, that's for sure! We've all been through life and death just now, so we're at least half-life-and-death friends, right? Of course, we're brothers!" Lin Feng said with a smile, patting him on the shoulder.

  Xiao Zhou was a bit excited, and said to Lin Feng: "En en, you're right, Brother Feng! From now on, you'll be my boss! You just saved my life, without you I'd be dead! My life belongs to you from now on! This lifetime is yours! I'm not good at talking, but there's one thing - whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it. If I utter a single useless word, let me die a terrible death!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and swore an oath.

  Then, he insisted on pulling Lin Feng to worship the heavens and earth, saying something about becoming sworn brothers. He was too excited, too agitated. No choice, follow him in worship! To be honest, Lin Feng didn't believe in the heavens anymore. If there really were heavens, Lin Feng would be worshipping every day, begging them to hurry up and send himself back. He really didn't belong here! This morning when they just came out, Little Zhou's older cousin was still quite clever, but now he's dead after less than half a day. Lin Feng really wasn't used to this life, he still wanted to live in the 21st century's society ruled by law!

  After they finished worshiping the heavens, Little Zhou excitedly said to Lin Feng: "Boss, from now on my life belongs to you. If you have any orders, I'll do anything, no matter how dangerous! My name is Zhou Chen, just call me whenever you need me!"

  "Alright, alright, let's go, hurry back, it's been so long. They must be getting anxious, hurry back and report the news!" Lin Feng patted him on the back.

  "Well, let's hurry back!" said Little Zhou, and they set off on their way back.

  It was slower on the way back, and there was a small Zhou. Lin Feng couldn't move. When he returned to his original place, Lin Feng looked around and found nothing had happened. Then Lin Feng shouted in all directions. Soon after, a shout came from the west direction, "Feng Ge, Feng Ge, you're finally back! I'm worried to death!" The voice was unmistakably Xiao Yan's.

  Then she just stood still not far from Lin Feng, and suddenly her eyes turned red. Lin Feng was puzzled again, what's wrong with this? Lin Feng walked towards her with a smile, saying: "Well, I'm back, it's okay, I've done what you promised, right? Hehe, what's wrong with you?" When he was about to arrive, Xiao Xian suddenly rushed over, Lin Feng was unprepared, almost being knocked down by her. Then she started crying in Lin Feng's arms, making him not know what to do.

  Then, Old Man Li and Old Zhao walked out of the woods one after another. Seeing this situation, Old Man Li shook his head and sighed. But he didn't make any other moves. Lin Feng felt slightly relieved!

  Lin Feng patted Xiao Yan's back and comforted her, saying: "What's wrong with you? Didn't I come back just fine? Why are you crying? I'm most afraid of seeing girls cry! Can you stop crying, okay, be good!"

  "Waaah... You said it was nothing? Look at your leg, blood is flowing out! Waaah... Does it hurt? Hurry up and sit down over there, I'll bandage you up!" Then he pulled Lin Feng to sit on a rock, turned his head to his father and said: "Dad, quickly bring some of your herbal medicine over here, I'll bandage Brother Feng's wound!"

  Mr. Li handed the herbs to Xiao Yan after digging them up, and Old Zhao also came over. Mr. Li spoke up, "Xiao Feng, what's going on with you guys?" Then his gaze shifted to Zhou Chen: "Aren't you supposed to be traveling with your cousin Maozi? Why are you alone now? And how did you get hurt too?"

  "That group of beasts killed my brother!" Zhou Chen shouted in extreme anger, his eyes bloodshot as if he was going to devour someone. "If it weren't for Maple Brother, I would have been killed by them too! Maple Brother was injured while saving me!"

  Lin Feng turned his head and looked at him, sighed: "Calm down, it's all over, the living must continue to live! Shouting is useless, striving to survive is the greatest responsibility for the dead! I believe your brother's spirit in heaven doesn't want to see you like this either." Old Zhao also took over and said: "Yes, yes, Little Feng is right! First, it's most important to live a good life!"
