Chapter 2: Embark on the Journey
After leaving the small village, Li Chen walked for about half a day. The sun was so scorching that his scalp burned, and the last bit of water in the linen bag was gone. He licked his chapped and flaky lips. His throat seemed to be clogged with red-hot coals, and every time he swallowed, there was a slight sting. The floating soil on the official road was hot from the sun, and when you step on it, the heat goes straight to the soles of your feet. The worn cloth shoes have long been worn to a pulp, and several toes are exposed, and they are painful from the gravel.
Just when he felt like he couldn't hold on any longer, not far ahead, a tall figure came into view. The man was shirtless, and his bronze skin was shiny in the sun. He was only wearing a pair of tattered trousers, with a thick hemp rope tied around his waist. He was holding a heavy woodcutter in his hand and was resting under a dead tree. He was extremely tall, with muscles on his arms knotted like hard stones, and a shallow scar on his face, which added to his fierce aura.
Li Chen hesitated for a moment, but decided to step forward and say hello, so that if he could go together, he might as well have someone to take care of him. He tightened the stick in his hand, took a deep breath, and walked towards the figure.
"Brother, please..." Before Li Chen finished speaking, the strong man suddenly opened his eyes, a pair of big copper bell-like eyes staring at him, full of vigilance and scrutiny.
