Chapter 33: Recuperation
Lu Yunzhi walked slowly, the nightmare in his ears was still talking, Lu Yunzhi had studied in books, ghosts also have their own personalities, even the same kind of ghosts in the sixteen evil ghosts are different, just like people's personalities are strange. Lu Yunzhi is always whining in his ears now, because the nightmare attached to his body is simply a chatter.
"If you don't say it, I'll keep saying, why are you so depraved, you say that you don't want everyone to see that you are old and weak, I can understand, but you can set up another mountain to do a big job, and see your brother again after you are full of spirit, why should you be depressed, you will kill yourself sooner or later." The nightmare was still babbling.
Lu Yunzhi stopped, and then whispered, "Nightmare, you often enter my dreams. I ask you, what is the dream I have the most? Nightmare was silent for a while, but unexpectedly gave a short answer: "Your childhood." The corners of Lu Yunzhi's mouth brought up a wry smile, and then said: "It was my childhood, my mother told me to expel the Tartars, I did it in the first battle in the capital, at least I participated in this battle, and in the end, the strength of the Varat country weakened, and the ghosts and witches who supported their spiritual power were also greatly frustrated by our Zhongzheng lineage, so their vitality was greatly damaged, so my dream has been completed." ”
Lu Yunzhi suddenly held on to the wall and coughed violently, blurted out a few mouthfuls of bloody phlegm, and only after a while did he continue to speak: "I still want to have a family, but now I am not as good as my second brother in business, and my art of war is not as good as my eldest brother, as a brother, what can I help them?" I may just drag them down, you also heard Yu Qian's words, Yao Guangxiao left a very important note that wants my life, I think no matter who I am with, it is easy for them to become the target of public criticism, I love them, so I want to stay away from them. And the reason why I let those beat me is because I am upset now and have nowhere to vent, and I can't bear to hurt people, and I really want to use this pain to relieve the boredom in my heart. Nightmare, is there anything else you want to ask? After asking, don't bother me again, let me be alone for a while. ”
Nightmare was silent, and then just muttered, "Anyway, you have to go and heal first, or don't blame me for controlling you." Lu Yunzhi snorted and said, "Why don't you try it?" I know you're good for me, and I promise you to find a place to heal. As he spoke, he walked to the courtyard of an official eunuch's house, which may be the best place to recuperate, not only not easy to expose his identity and be discovered by the eagle dogs of the imperial court, but also to have no worries about food and clothing. As an ordinary housekeeper in the house, as long as you finish your daily work, you can heal the rest of the time, and then use illusions to confuse everyone's eyes, and you can do it without knowing it.
After walking a few steps, Nightmare suddenly said, "Did you notice, there is something following us all along." Lu Yunzhi snorted, but didn't look back, the nightmare was speaking in his head, outsiders naturally couldn't hear it, but his own thoughts couldn't be conveyed to the nightmare, so he could only say it with his mouth, and he was afraid that the following blade would hear it, so he only hummed. Lu Yunzhi always felt that something was peeping at him recently, just like he felt when he was looking for a ghost for the first time, but every time he turned around to catch it, there was no one, and even the nightmare didn't find out what that thing was.
Lu Yunzhi didn't pay attention to it anymore, and walked towards the distance, and the shadow of the wall behind him seemed to tremble a little, and it was back to its original state. Lu Yunzhi walked to a well, borrowed a scoop and shook a bucket of water to wash his face, and borrowed a knife to trim his face, and after about an hour, he slowly walked into a house.
"You are? Dare to ask who is the gentleman looking for? A middle-aged man in the porter asked. Although Lu Yunzhi's clothes are shabby, he looks dignified, and now he looks like he is in his thirties, the people in the concierge saw Lu Yunzhi dressed like a beggar, and they wanted to ask who you were, but when they saw Lu Yunzhi's extraordinary temperament, they were a lot more polite and called him Mr.
Lu Yunyi bowed his hand and asked respectfully, "Do you dare to ask us to recruit workers here?" The porter was stunned for a moment, and his face immediately showed impatience: "It turns out that he is a small worker, we don't need it here, you can go." Lu Yunzhi smiled and said, "Then thank you." Then he turned and walked away, silently counting "one, two, three." ”
"Wait a minute, what is the matter with this brother?" One person stopped him behind Lu Yunzhi's back, which was in Lu Yunzhi's calculation, so he didn't count three times. And the person who called him behind him, he also knew that he had a relationship, it was Ah Rong, the servant who accompanied the official just now.
Lu Yunzhi turned his head to look at Ah Rong, arched his hand and saluted, and then said, "You are?" "My name is Ah Rong, my lord's entourage, dare to ask what is the reason why Mr. came here?" Ah Rong replied, but he heard the porter whispering in Ah Rong's ear, Lu Yunzhi's five senses were extremely keen, and these words naturally couldn't escape his ears. Ah Rong listened to the concierge's speech, nodded and said to Lu Yunzhi: "This brother, you wait for a while, let me reply, and then discuss with the housekeeper, you rest in the concierge first." ”
Lu Yunzhi replied: "Thank you, I don't know why Brother Ren is so reasonable to me?" Ah Rong replied with a smile: "Because of a beggar, he taught me that everyone should have dignity, even if he is like him, he must be like a gentleman, and his backbone must not be lost...... Well, no more ado. Ah Rong was about to turn around and leave as he spoke, but he saw Lu Yunzhi's eyes looking at him, Ah Rong felt that these eyes were so familiar, weren't they the eyes of the beggar he saw this morning?
Ah Rong opened his mouth wide, looked at Lu Yunzhi with some surprise, and then said in amazement: "You are ..... We met in the morning? Lu Yunzhi nodded, and Ah Rong didn't answer anymore and ran towards the courtyard. Ah Rong didn't know why he was so attentive, but he felt that the person in front of him was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but be willing to look forward to him and behind.
Lu Yunzhi waited for about a cup of tea in the gatehouse, Ah Rong and a housekeeper-like person strolled over, Ah Rong said, "Steward Liu, this is the person I am talking about." The middle-aged housekeeper in Ah Rong's mouth is not tall, not fat, not short or thin, four or five years older than Ah Rong, looking about the same size as Lu Yunzhi, all of them are in their thirties, although their expressions are not very enthusiastic, they are also polite: "What do you call them?" ”
Lu Yunzhi bowed slightly and replied: "If you come out to do small work, just call me a nickname, Xiao Lu is good." The butler nodded and said, "Well, yes, it seems that you still understand the rules, and you know that your subordinates have to use nicknames, but you are from the north with an accent, so I will call you Alu here." What do you know how to write, can you read? ”
Lu Yunzhi nodded, lowered his head and replied respectfully: "I can read and write." What the housekeeper arranges, I will do? The housekeeper nodded, looked up and down, although Lu Yunzhi was injured repeatedly, his face was a little pale, and his body had always been relatively thin, but he was very strong, after all, the previous martial arts training was not in vain, and he looked much stronger than ordinary people. The housekeeper thought for a while and said: "Seeing that your body is still strong, you can go to the firewood room to work first, and I will give you a transcription job after I return to the master, after all, you are also introduced by Brother Ah Rong." Saying that, the housekeeper smiled at Ah Rong, it seems that Ah Rong's status in this courtyard is not low, and he follows the master in and out every day, and even the housekeeper has to pay three points.
Ah Rong was full of doubts at the moment, because the person in front of him, who was called Ah Lu, suddenly became extremely respectful, like an ordinary small worker, far from the different person he had just seen. When Ah Rong was full of doubts, he only heard Lu Yunzhi answer: "Then thank you Steward Liu, thank you Brother Ah Rong." After saying that, he followed the butler to the courtyard.
