Chapter 31 A touch of joy and falling into a dream again
After sending Lu Xiuyuan away,
Lu Xuan and Yan Jiangxue looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.
The two of them walked silently in the empty campus. It was still raining, but no one paid attention to it and just walked quietly.
The young man couldn't help but tilt his head and saw the rain falling down the girl's hair, and the thin sunlight splashing randomly on her face, bringing out a touch of joy.
"Um." Yan Jiangxue said timidly: "I also brought you delicious food today."
As she spoke, she carefully took out a small bag of dried meat from her pocket and handed it over awkwardly:
"This is very delicious and good for spiritual practice, but you have to eat it in small bites. It's so filling!"
Lu Xuan's eyes widened:
"So you don't stutter this time?"
"you!"
Yan Jiangxue blushed with embarrassment and whispered:
"I don't stutter, I'm just afraid. I won't be afraid when I talk about the things I like."
The young man seemed to understand, and scratched his head:
"So you like eating so much?"
He always felt like something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
After thinking for a while, Lu Xuan waved his hand:
"Forget it, this is too precious."
In this era, practitioners are bigger than heaven, and anything that is beneficial to practice is generally extremely expensive.
"No!" Yan Jiangxue said anxiously: "This is a specialty of my family, and it's free! Besides, aren't we friends?"
As she spoke, her face was filled with anticipation.
Looking at the girl with red eyes, Lu Xuan scratched his head and was too embarrassed to continue to refuse. He took the dried meat and solemnly said thank you.
"You're welcome, you will bring me something delicious next time." Yan Jiangxue said timidly.
The two of them continued walking in the empty campus without saying a word. It was not because of any separation, but because of the beautiful silence.
The rain is still falling, the peach trees are in bloom, and young girls and boys are walking quietly under the trees in the rain, stepping on the peach blossoms, just like a beautiful painting.
"It's time for me to go back." Looking at the getting dark sky, Lu Xuan was still a little worried about the current situation of the shanty towns despite Mr. Chu's assurance.
"Yes." The girl nodded briskly: "Will you come again tomorrow?"
"It's not peaceful recently. The immortal outside the city has said that we won't leave for ten days. I have a hunch that there may be something unexpected in the next few days. Please go out less. Besides, there are still restrictions. We may see you again in ten days."
Yan Jiangxue pouted:
"Wouldn't it be enough to drive away the guys outside the city?"
Lu Xuan shook his head and explained gently:
"That's an immortal, very powerful."
"Oh." Yan Jiangxue was thoughtful.
The two walked to the school gate. Lu Xuan originally planned to send the girl home, but Yan Jiangxue pointed to the car parked on the roadside and said crisply:
"Someone's coming to pick me up!"
After a pause, she said cautiously:
"I'll give it to you, okay?"
"Okay." Lu Xuan smiled brightly.
Opening the car door, the two of them sat in the back seat together. In the driver's seat was a little old man, who turned around and greeted with an unclear expression:
"You are Lu Xuan, right? My eldest daughter often mentions that your surname is Ao, and your name is Ao Chengzhong. It's a shanty town, right? I'll take you back first."
Lu Xuan greeted politely quickly, but he didn't care about the word "eldest lady" in the little old man's words, and he didn't think it was something unspeakable that he lived in a shanty town.
The car quickly drove to the Lower City and stopped near the boundary of the shantytown.
"See you next time." The girl waved her hand gently and said timidly: "I also want to eat that roasted sweet potato."
"Okay." Lu Xuan got out of the car with a bright smile: "I'll bring it to you next time."
"Um!"
After greeting Ao Chengzhong politely, he watched the car drive away, and then hurried back to the shanty town.
As soon as he stepped into the shanty town, Lu Xuan was stunned. This...
The charred houses have been restored and even repaired. They are only better than before this disaster, and even the sour smell that persists all year round is gone.
Because of the rain, there were very few people on the street, but there were still a few figures there. Looking carefully, it was Uncle Zheng and Wu Xiaoxu, who seemed to be waiting.
Lu Xuan walked up quickly:
"Uncle Zheng, Xiaoxu, I'm back."
The two people who were sitting bored under the eaves quickly got up, and Butcher Zheng showed excitement on his face:
"Okay, okay, it will be good when you come back, it will be good when you come back"
Wu Xiaoxu also rushed forward and said excitedly:
"Brother Xuan! Tell me exactly what happened. Xiaobao and the others said that Chu Wudi from Tengshe Grand Martial Arts School came to help, but I don't believe it, and Uncle Zheng doesn't tell the truth either."
Lu Xuan smiled helplessly:
"What Chu Wudi? Where did Senior Chu get this name?"
"Hehe!" Wu Xiaoxu scratched his head: "Brother Xuan, you don't know this, right? The one who is said to have defeated all the invincibles in Donghai City is the most powerful practitioner in the entire Donghai City. Many people call him Chu Wudi. "
After a pause, he asked anxiously:
"So Brother Xuan, what happened at Baixiang Martial Arts School?"
"It's nothing." Lu Xuan smiled calmly: "I just killed some harm."
"I knew it was you!" Wu Xiaoxu jumped up excitedly. Butcher Zheng on the side slapped him angrily: "Keep your voice down!"
Wu Xiaoxu smiled stupidly and sniffed:
"Uncle Zheng, we now have a common secret."
As he said that, he seemed to remember something and patted his head:
"By the way, Brother Xuan, my father is back! Moreover, the Supervision Office has canceled the wanted order. Just now, an inspector said that Sakata Heavy Industries asked them to cancel it, saying it was a misunderstanding!"
"Uncle Wu is back?" Lu Xuan's eyes lit up: "Is everything okay?"
"It's nothing, just a little injured. My dad said he fell down on the way back and injured his leg. It was just a minor injury, nothing serious!"
Are you injured?
Lu Xuan's heart was moved, but he didn't say anything more and just smiled:
"That's good, that's good"
The three chatted for a while, and Butcher Zheng sighed with emotion:
"Senior Chu moved really fast. When we came back, everything was almost done. The five elders and the injured were almost treated. Mr. Lu, now you have become the benefactor of our entire shantytown."
How could he not see that Chu Wudi was coming for Lu Xuan?
Looking at the clean and bright face of the young man in front of him, and recalling the hundreds of corpses at the White Elephant Martial Arts Hall, Butcher Zheng was in a daze.
Lu Xuan was silent for a moment and spoke softly:
"I will visit you later to say thank you."
After chatting for a while, saying goodbye to Uncle Zheng, and agreeing to visit Wu Xiaoxu at his home tomorrow, Lu Xuan returned to his shabby but clean hut.
He sat on the bed, slightly stunned.
"What a world."
I am still too weak. Although I showed my sword to you and this city today, no one may come to look for trouble in the shanty town in a short time, but
As long as the world continues to be in a state where etiquette is no longer etiquette and law is no longer law, trouble will come sooner or later, and evildoers will come sooner or later.
"I want to find out everything about Qianlong City and fight for the lives of the people in this city. I want to become strong enough to bring peace to the world by myself."
The young man murmured, feeling that his head was getting more and more painful. It was still too much to force himself to use mediation today.
He held on to his last bit of energy, carefully placed the dried meat given by the girl under his pillow, and immediately fell asleep.
As soon as you wake up, you fall into a dream.
