Chapter 65: Loss of Timber

It took almost five minutes for Lu Zhi, who was lying on the ground and convulsing, to return to normal.

"How do you feel?" I helped Lu Zhi to the bed with Lu Shen, his face was obviously paler than yesterday, the places with corpse spots seemed to be more obvious, and his cheeks were slightly collapsed, a little malnourished.

When Lu Zhi heard my question, he first grabbed my arm hard, his eyes were half-squinted, as if he was afraid of the sunlight outside the window, and then, his bruised and chapped lips moved up and down with difficulty, and said:

"Also...... Fortunately, Zhong Xiaoxian ...... You...... Can you help me?"

I was silent for a few seconds and then nodded, and said to Lu Zhi in a low voice: "You give me the contact information of the owner of the wood, you can rest well, and leave the rest to me and your brother!"

Lu Zhiyan sighed when he heard this, pushed the phone next to the bed in my direction, and then closed his eyes, as if he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

I picked up the phone, cocked the thumb of my right hand, gestured to Lu Shen, and motioned for us to go out, and after that, Lu Zhi was left alone in the whole room.

Lu Shen and I went directly into the room he arranged for me, I found out the phone number of the owner of the rosewood from Lu Zhi's mobile phone, and then I had a long heart, afraid to call directly with Lu Zhi's phone, the person began to play the shutdown again, so I used my phone to dial over.

To be honest, in my heart, I thought that this person would definitely not turn on again, since he had a purpose to send the wood here, it must be too late to hide, but to my surprise, after a low music like mournful music sounded in the earpiece, a man's voice appeared.

"Hey, who?"

The phone was connected, and I hurriedly asked, "Hello, are you Mr. Shen?"

When I asked for this surname, the other party was obviously stunned, and then denied his surname Shen, but I already felt a sense of urgency and nervousness from the other party's tone, so I didn't care what his surname was, and said to the person on the other end of the phone directly:

"I don't care what your last name is, but I know that you are the owner of those two pieces of rosewood, you can deny it now, or you can hang up the phone, but what I want to tell you is that if you don't come to the Lu family as soon as possible, then your life will not be guaranteed, don't think that it has nothing to do with you if you get rid of it, you must know that the consequences of trading with demons are not as simple as you think"

Anyway, I didn't wait for the other party to have any reaction, first hung up the phone, I didn't believe it, hearing my words, his ass can still sit firmly at home.

"I said Zhong Xiaoxian, you have easily contacted this person, why did you hang up? Just a few words you scared him, can he come?"

Lu Shen, who had been standing opposite me, saw that I hung up the phone, his face was incredible, the corners of his mouth were almost under his nose, and he looked at me with an expression of hatred that could not be made of steel, as if I had snatched a piece of his meat.

"Don't worry, let's just wait at home, now I need you to take me to your brother's studio to have a look, so that I can also have a long experience, and see what a tree spirit is." ”

I greeted Lu Shen, and when the other party heard that I was going to the studio, he was immediately excited, but his excitement was not to stop me, but he was very looking forward to it, snapped his fingers with one hand, and said happily: "Okay!"

I glanced at him inexplicably, and then he realized that he seemed to be a little too excited, and quickly explained:

"When I came back the day before yesterday, I wanted to go to the studio to see, but my brother didn't let me go, not to say that there was a tree spirit down there, Zhong Xiaoxian, you don't know, since I was a child, my brother's personality is the opposite of each other, he likes the broken book left by the Lu family, every day holding the broken wood, carving, carving, and I like adventure, like excitement, but after all, my brother is a few minutes more than me, and my mother before she died also specially told me to listen to him in the future, so, I am filial, I can only do it, don't let me go, I won't go!"

Lu Shen led the way in front, and kept muttering to me about some of the haves and nos, but I felt that this guy looked like a person in his thirties, and he was clearly a child who hadn't grown up.

Lu Zhi's studio is located in the basement of his villa, which was originally used by the developer as a private garage, but was transformed into a studio by Lu Zhi.

As soon as I entered the ground, I felt a cold air in my face, as if I had turned on the air conditioner, it was cold, and with the dim lights of the stairs, it was really a bit of a ghost movie.

This cold air made me and Lu Shen shudder, Lu Shen hugged his arms and approached me a little, and asked me in a low voice: "Zhong Xiaoxian, do you say that there are really tree spirits in the rosewood? If there is, can you solve it?"

I pursed my lips and ignored him, but I still took the five-mang soul sealing nail I brought out when I came, just in case.

"Zhong Xiaoxian, what are you doing with a nail?" Lu Shen, who entered the basement with me, saw the soul sealing nail between my fingertips and pulled my arm incomprehensibly.

"I said, how can you talk so much? Like a girl, if you're afraid of you, go up, if you're not afraid, you follow, and always ask endless questions? Why are you the new version of 100,000?"

Lu Shen asked one question after another, and finally asked me Mao, especially just now I seemed to hear a "squeak" sound, just wanted to identify it carefully, but was affected by this damn problem baby's hearing, and now I don't hear it anymore, do you think I can not be angry?

"I'm afraid, I'm still afraid, are you kidding, I just don't understand...... Or ......!"

Lu Shen saw that I was a little anxious, and hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself, but just as he spoke, the "squeak" sound sounded again, and this time the sound was clearer than just now, Lu Shen seemed to hear it, and hurriedly clenched his fist to his mouth, and squeezed his eyes towards me.

I glared at him, and continued to walk to the basement, although the stairs are not long, there are dozens of steps, when a flash of iron door appeared in front of me, Lu Shen told me that inside the door is his brother Lu Zhi's studio.

The iron door was not locked, but hung on the deadbolt with a small iron rod, Lu Shen pulled the iron rod out, and then gently pushed, and the iron door opened.

Then Lu Shen put his hand into the door and groped for a while on the wall, and then the studio was bright.

The "squeak" sound, which only sounded twice, sounded like the sound of a mouse, but the presence of mice in the basement was also within the scope of understanding, so the two of us didn't pay too much attention to it, and as soon as the lights came on, we walked into Lu Zhi's studio one by one.

The basement is about 50 square meters in size, and the layout inside is very simple, with lathes, workbenches, a single bed, a few semi-finished products that have not yet been completed, and the rest is a side near a roller shutter that is piled with timber of various sizes.

I don't know anything about these at all, and I'm not interested, and I don't know how much this seemingly ordinary wood is worth, and I only care about the rosewood that Lu Zhi said has tree spirits and can speak.

But for people like me who don't know anything at all, I can only ask Lu Shen on the side for help: "Which is the rosewood sent by that person?"

Lu Shen pointed to the position of the lathe, and naturally told me, "Those two pieces are...... Huh, what about the material?" Lu Zhi glanced at me inexplicably, then took a few steps forward, turned around in place a few times, and finally told me with some doubts in his eyes: "The material is gone."

"It's gone, what do you mean?" I asked Lu Shen, who was stunned in place.

"Damn, my brother's apprentice told me the night before yesterday that the rosewood was on the edge of the lathe, and let me look at it, but what kind of wood is there?

Lu Shen said that, and walked around the house a few more times, but in such a big place, he couldn't hide anything, and listening to the meaning of his words, it seemed that the two pieces of wood were not small.

I stood there and looked at Lu Shen who was going back and forth and asked

"No, what about the material?"

"That's right, where's the material?" Lu Shen twisted his neck, tilted his head and asked back.

I took a deep breath, resisted the urge to go up and call him to death, and turned around and walked towards the door, since the material was gone, there was no point in staying here, and besides, in this basement, I didn't feel the existence of essence or yin qi, so I decided that I should go upstairs to find Lu Zhi to confirm it before talking about anything else.

"Zhong Xiaoxian, alas...... You wait for me!" Lu Shen saw me walking upstairs without saying a word, quickly closed the iron door, and chased me upstairs.

I just came to the living room from the basement and saw the Filipino maid Mary with a pestle at the door, Mary saw me and Lu Shen coming out, and hurriedly gestured a few times with her hand, and then took out the mobile phone in her pocket to show Lu Shen, and then turned around and left.

Lu Shen's face was very strange, and he frowned and said to me: "Just now I asked Mary to dig up the corpse of the mouse, but she told me that the corpse of the mouse is gone."

"The body is gone?"

Lu Shen nodded affirmatively to me, and then asked, "Zhong Xiaoxian, you say, could it be that tree spirit who made the ghost?"

I don't know how to answer him, it's uncertain whether there are any tree spirits now, it's too early to draw conclusions, it always feels a little hasty, but no matter how the wood and the corpses of the rats are gone, it means that there must be other people making trouble, but why do you want to stumble on us, maybe it's to confuse my judgment, maybe it's to create some weird atmosphere to scare me away, or maybe the Lu brothers have offended something, and they want to destroy them, in short, this matter is definitely not that simple.
