Chapter 19: Saving Lives
"In other words, you guy didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and when he was so bored that he got up to blow the cold wind and listen to the ghost's howl, he saw and saved a Kunlun sect disciple who was almost drowned in that puddle?" In the tavern, Lao Ma looked at Lu Chen with an unkind face, and said angrily. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The morning light shone on Lu Chen's face through the window of the tavern, he thought for a moment and nodded, "That's pretty much it." ”
The old horse snorted and sneered: "Do you know your identity? Especially since I found someone in this village just now that someone has carved the secret mark of the Demon Sect, ******! Can't you be honest?" Speaking of this, he was suddenly stunned, and then looked Lu Chen up and down, with a hint of doubt on his face, and said, "Could it be...... You thought of Tianlan Zhenjun, so ......"
"That's no, who has time to pay attention to the dead old man. Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's always a human life." ”
Lao Ma sneered and said, "Fart, don't pretend to Lao Tzu!" You tell me, why don't you let that idiot drown directly?"
Lu Chen coughed dryly, and then said with emotion: "Old Ma, you have been very angry lately, why do you want people to die at every turn?" I see that you are a sign of yin and yang imbalance and qi disharmony, so let's take three spirit stones, I will give up this old face to help you go and talk to the dingdong girl, and let her help you treat it." ”
The old horse was furious and shouted: "Nonsense! Ding Dong only needs two spirit stones in one night, and you still want to trap me!"
Lu Chen was shocked, stood up and looked at the old horse, and said, "I'll go, how do you know so clearly?"
Lao Ma's fat face was slightly red, and then he regained his composure, snorted and poured himself a glass of wine to drink, and then said lightly: "I don't know what's going on in this village." ”
Lu Chenhu looked at him suspiciously and said, "But why do I always think you're a little weird?"
"Blame you for your size!" Lao Ma scolded him, and then decisively diverted the topic, and said: "I have swept the matter of the secret memory of the Demon Sect in the village, and the old people should be fine, among some of the new people who have come recently, there are about three or four people who are a little suspicious, I will keep an eye on them." ”
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Then you keep an eye on it, tell me something." ”
Lao Ma said again: "And the young man on the other side of the river you said yesterday, I have checked, his name is Li Ji, he has no door and no faction, he is a mortal who yearns for cultivation, and he probably came here to try his luck and see if he can worship in the Qianqiu Gate and find a chance." ”
Lu Chen said "um" and didn't speak, this kind of identity background is the most common, and nine times out of ten newcomers who come to Qingshuitang Village in a year have this thought.
Lao Ma continued: "Li Ji does have a good skin, and not long after he came to this village, he won the favor of many people in the village. In addition, he has excellent painting skills, often painting on the West Bank, and his paintings are all past women, which are vivid and vivid, and most of them can add a bit of style, so this time is very popular with the women in the village. ”
Lu Chen thought for a while, then smiled and said, "It's been too long since the lifeless days in this village, no wonder those women were moved when they saw such a handsome man with amorous means. ”
Lao Ma snorted, looking disapproving, and then followed, saying, "By the way, this Li Ji is also a newcomer, and there are three or four people I just said who are quite suspicious of the Demon Sect, and one of them is him." ”
Lu Chen's brows furrowed, and he didn't know what he thought of, and his face suddenly sank a little.
Out of the tavern, Lu Chen walked along Qingshui Creek to his own thatched hut at the foot of the mountain, and along the way, he saw Qingshui Creek flowing clearly and slowly in the morning light, and the green bamboo and peach blossoms reflected in the water, a beautiful scenery.
Just halfway through, Lu Chen suddenly heard a burst of loud laughter from the other side, his heart moved, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw three or four women on the west bank standing there early, covering their mouths and smiling and talking, and in front of them was the dashing and outstanding Li Ji, who was smiling and putting his paintbrush and plank away.
There was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, which sounded a little familiar, Lu Chen looked sideways slightly, and saw a familiar figure walking by the side, walking towards the stone bridge on the water of the stream, with a graceful figure, hair and sideburns, it was Jingdong.
The woman looked at the other side and walked lightly with her skirt, but she didn't notice Lu Chen standing on the road not far away.
Lu Chen looked at her back, and then looked at Li Ji, who was chatting and laughing with the women on the other side, shook his head slightly, and then turned around and walked into the distance, and it didn't take long to see the shadow of the grass hut at the foot of the mountain.
There are many residents in Qingshuitang Village today, but there is still only this one thatched hut built at the foot of Chashan Mountain, and the reason is actually very simple, that is, when the mountain wind rises at night, there is always a sharp sound like a ghost crying, which is very terrifying. So in the past few years, Lu Chen has lived very cleanly alone, well, except for some noise at night.
Walking outside the door of the thatched house, Lu Chen first looked around, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he pushed the door and walked in, only to see that in the not too big thatched house, there was a person lying on the bed at the moment, it was the disciple of the Kunlun sect Hong Chuan he had seen yesterday.
At this moment, Hong Chuan collapsed on the bed with his eyes closed, but his chest and abdomen rose and fell gently and regularly, not like he was seriously injured, and seemed to be still immersed in sleep.
Lu Chen smiled, but he didn't mean to wake up Hong Chuan, so he casually pulled a stool over, sat by the door, and then looked at the mountain village scenery in the distance outside the door, silently, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
His patience seems to be surprisingly good, even if Hong Chuan has been asleep and has not woken up, but Lu Chen still does not have any anxious look, it seems that for him, as long as he is willing, it doesn't matter if he waits for three days and three nights.
But of course, things are not so exaggerated, probably less than noon, after the sun has risen and shone on Qingshuitang Village, Hong Chuan's body moved slightly, and he woke up from his sleep.
He seemed to open his eyes with some difficulty, and then looked around with a hint of confusion, and suddenly his body shook, but he turned over and sat up, and then looked around with a shocked face, and soon saw Lu Chen sitting by the door on the other side of the grass hut.
Lu Chen glanced at him and smiled, "Are you awake?"
Hong Chuan was also startled when he saw Lu Chen, and then said, "Brother Lu, why are you?"
Lu Chen said: "This is where I live, a thatched hut at the foot of the tea mountain. The house is shabby, so you have to suffer, Brother Hong. ”
Hong Chuan immediately shook his head, and then a strange look appeared on his face, and said, "I, why am I here?"
Lu Chen didn't hide it, so he told everything he saw last night, as well as the fact that he rescued him after finding Hong Chuan in the waterhole.
