Chapter 35: The Story
"No problem. ”
Lu Xiao set his eyes on the middle-aged man's palm, and couldn't help but flash a flash of surprise.
Just now, the big man was very strong, and he grabbed it with his hands, but he didn't leave a trace of it.
This middle-aged man is a master.
At least in the mortal world.
And the middle-aged man looked at Lu Xiao, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
In his opinion, Lu Xiao is weak and carrying a book basket, and he is obviously a reader who is rushing to take the exam.
However, when he faced the horsewhip of the big man just now, he was not surprised.
This made him can't help but be a little interested in Lu Xiao.
He looked at Lu Xiao and said with a light smile: "In Xia Wei Changhe, dare to ask the name of the little brother?"
"In the lower land sky. ”
Lu Xiao didn't hide it either, and said lightly.
"It turned out to be Brother Lu. ”
Wei Changhe smiled and said, "Brother Lu is on this trip, but he rushed to the capital to take the exam?"
Lu Xiao smiled and nodded, and did not argue.
"That's just right, you can go with us. ”
Wei Changhe said: "I wonder if the little brother is willing?"
As soon as Wei Changhe's words came out, the big man beside him immediately said, "Brother Wei, this is not appropriate, right?"
As he spoke, he kept glancing at the carriages that followed them.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Wei Changhe smiled lightly: "This little brother is not a bad person, and besides, this official road has not been very peaceful recently, since he is a fellow Taoist, it is also a good deed to protect him by the way." ”
"Besides, if he wins fame in the exam, he can still take care of our brothers, right?"
The big man glanced at Wei Changhe deeply and did not object again.
"I'm sorry for you. ”
Lu Xiao nodded and said.
Wei Changhe was afraid that Lu Xiao would not be used to riding horses, so he let him sit on the car with sundries at the end.
The carriage traveled very fast, and in a few hours, it came to the accident-prone area mentioned by Wei Changhe.
The speed of the carriage slowed down suddenly.
Everyone, all watchful of each other.
Lu Xiao sat in the carriage, holding a book on the utility cart and looking at it, looking leisurely.
"Sure enough, he is a poor and sour talent, and at this time, he still reads books. ”
The big man named Wang Mazi looked at Lu Xiao, spat a mouthful, and said disdainfully.
"Wang Mazi, keep your mouth shut. ”
Wei Changhe scolded.
"Hmph. ”
Wang Mazi snorted coldly, and rode his horse to the front to patrol.
Wei Changhe turned to look at Lu Xiao and said, "Little Brother Lu, don't care. ”
"No problem. ”
Lu Xiao smiled and said.
"Wang Mazi is actually not bad to people, but before, the girl who was engaged to him eloped with a Xiucai, and after making the girl's belly bigger, that Xiucai ran away. ”
Wei Changhe's subordinates on the side smiled and said, "Therefore, he has never had a good impression of scholars. ”
For such mortals, Lu Xiao was naturally not interested in bothering with him.
However, after listening to Wang Mazi's story, Lu Xiao couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't expect that there was such a tragic story on Wang Mazi.
No wonder he always spoke ill of himself.
Seeing that Lu Xiao didn't mind, his subordinates chatted with Lu Xiao one after another.
These hearty men also made Lu Xiao feel good, and he also chatted with them.
The atmosphere changed from the previous solemnity.
Wei Changhe didn't stop it, but just silently watched the surroundings.
After a long time, no bandits appeared.
Except for the accident-prone areas, it is getting dusk.
Wei Changhe chose a good place, and the convoy stopped and wanted to stay overnight.
Some of the ladies stepped out of the carriage and began to prepare food.
Around the bonfire, Lu Xiao and a group of people surrounded him.
"Brother Lu, do you believe in immortals?"
One of the men said shyly.
"Immortals?"
Lu Xiao smiled lightly: "I don't believe it. ”
"Hehe, so the people who read the book still have less knowledge than those of us who run the rivers and lakes. ”
The man smiled and said, "I'll tell you, that's still when I was a child......
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the people around him.
"Brother Lu, don't listen to him brag. ”
"That is, this story has been told to us more than ten times over and over again, and it is still being told. ”
"Can you change the trick, we're tired of hearing it. ”
Everyone said.
"What do you mean by bragging?"
The big man blushed and said, "What I said is true! ”
"It's okay, big brother, you go on. ”
Lu Xiao smiled lightly.
"Look, it's still people who read and are sensible. ”
The big man smiled and said: "That was when I was a child, I was born in the countryside, that night, the moon in the sky, was blood red, and then, I looked, the sky cracked, countless lights, surging towards the sky, like fireworks, I also saw that my grandfather, also turned into a light, just like a fairy, rushed into that crack, and then never came back." ”
"Oh?"
Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and his face changed slightly.
A blood moon?
Isn't this the scene we saw a few months ago in southern Jiangsu?
After that day, there was no blood moon in the sky.
And what this big man said was when the blood moon was full.
The sky will crack.
And those Dao rays, including his grandfather, should all be immortal cultivators.
"Could it be that when the blood moon is full, a secret realm will be opened?"
Lu Xiao said secretly in his heart.
Seeing that Lu Xiao began to ponder, the big men around him said one after another: "Little brother, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, his grandfather is an immortal? ”
"That's it, you didn't say the latter sentence, I still believe it, after all, a few months ago, the moon in the sky was a little wrong. ”
"Yes, the moon is a little infiltrating. ”
Everyone said.
"Why am I lying to you?"
The big man blushed and said, "Brother Lu, you are a scholar, you should be more sensible than them, right?"
"I believe it. ”
Lu Xiao nodded and said.
"Look, I'll just say, a reader is sensible. ”
The big man smiled, like a two-hundred-pound child.
"Cut, Brother Lu has a good heart, I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed. ”
Everyone laughed.
In the distance, Wang Mazi looked at the harmonious scene in front of the bonfire, and his eyes couldn't help but be cold.
"Why don't you go talk to them too? Brother Lu is very good. ”
Wei Changhe walked up to him and said.
"Hmph, sour and rotten talent, I disdain to be in his company. ”
Wang Mazi snorted coldly.
"That's it, I won't force you. ”
Wei Changhe said with a smile: "Dinner is almost ready, you go and inform the eldest lady." ”
"Yes. ”
Wang Mazi said.
So saying, he walked toward the carriage that was parked in the middle of all the carriages.
"Miss, the meal is ready, please get off the car and eat. ”
Wang Mazi said respectfully.
"Hmm. ”
Inside the carriage, a gentle voice sounded.
The curtain opened, and a maid took the lead in walking out and closing the curtain.
Immediately, the woman with a beautiful face got out of the carriage.
