Chapter Ninety-Six: Another Lu Gongzi

In this way, I train during the day every day, go out in the evening to scrub the doors of various places, and go back to my accommodation when it is dark.

Every other night, when he returned, he had to dig the rock wall until both of them were drowsy, and then he washed himself at the spring where he had washed himself before returning.

A few days went on in a row.

A few days before the moon approached the full moon, Qingzhi and Lu Shikang came to the alley on the eastern edge of the basin.

The deep, closed courtyard was in the middle of the alley, to the south.

She started from the northernmost side of the alley and went south door by door.

Here, she slowed down to wipe the door. Sometimes a door has to be wiped for a long time.

Anyway, the people in the power suits who passed by had never paid attention to the speed at which she scrubbed the door, and every time they passed by her and Lu Shikang, they just pouted and smiled secretly for a moment before leaving.

I have been rubbing in this alley for three days, and it is almost the night of the full moon.

On the third day, as she was brushing the sixth door, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the south.

As far as the eyes could see, there should be more than a dozen people coming.

She walked in the direction of the passer by changing the door. Lu Shikang followed her, carrying a wooden barrel.

At the end of the alley, a dozen people were walking north together.

There were three people at the front, one was the head of the sect, and the other two were dressed in black and the other in green clothes.

The two men were of similar height, and both were slender.

The man in black looked to be twenty-three or four-year-old, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like cold stars, and his eyes were so clear that people couldn't help but gasp.

The man in green clothes looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a slender face and slender eyes slightly narrowed, walking side by side with the man in black at this time.

After only looking at the two men for a moment, she lowered her head, walked to the other door, and began to wipe it.

A dozen or so people came to the high door, and they heard the sound of a key opening the door.

Then, I heard someone say, "Young master, please come in." ”

The man in black and the man in green were the first to enter. The head of the church followed.

The rest followed and entered the door.

When everyone had entered, the door was closed again.

The alley was empty again.

Qingzhi stopped wiping the door with a towel, looked at Lu Shikang behind him, saw that his eyebrows were tightly locked, his face was solemn, and he looked in the direction of the door.

"Childe ......," she whispered, "do you still want to wipe the door?" ”

"Wait a little longer, wait for them to come out......"

Qingzhi didn't know what he was planning, but he thought that he had his own intentions, so he turned his head and continued to wipe the door.

About an hour later, it was nightfall.

A round moon hangs on a branch in the east.

The high door suddenly opened, and the dozen or so people who had just entered walked out of it.

They walked south, Qingzhi looked at Lu Shikang, and saw Lu Shikang looking at the back of the group of people, thoughtful.

I heard a voice with authority ask, "Gao Jiaotou, what are the two people behind doing?" ”

Gao Jiaotou replied: "The newcomer who cleans the door has been cleaning for several days. ”

The man did not continue to ask.

After a moment, another flattering voice said, "You have a paradise here." It's very comfortable to have a drink here......"

The voice with authority just now said: "Since Lu Gongzi thinks so, Lu Gongzi can come often in the future......

"That's that, we're a family from now on......"

"Then I have to pay more attention to Lu Gongzi......"

"Don't worry, this matter is on me......"

By this time, the group had turned a corner and headed west, which was the direction of the exit.

After their figures disappeared, Qingzhi whispered to Lu Shikang: "Lu Gongzi, I didn't expect there to be someone with the same surname as you, if you weren't by my side, I would have thought that the Lu Gongzi he said was you......"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Lu Shikang reply: "Do you know who that Lu Gongzi is?" ”

"Who?"

Listening to his accent, he seemed to know that Lu Gongzi.

I heard Lu Shikang reply: "He is my second cousin......"

He had three cousins, all of whom were born to his only aunt, Jiang.

The eldest brother Lu Shixi, the second cousin Lu Shishi, the third cousin Lu Shirong, and the three brothers assisted their uncle Lu Heyuan in taking care of the family business left by their grandfather.

In addition to his three sons, the uncle had two daughters. The eldest daughter is named Lu Yuanhe, and the second daughter is named Lu Yuanen.

Although my grandfather's family business was completely taken care of by my uncle's family, my father's side still had a 40% share every year.

The 20% more than his own family is the labor cost of the uncle's family to take care of the family property. This was the way in which my grandfather had arranged the division of property during his lifetime. My father and uncle never objected to this.

Qingzhi heard Lu Shikang say that the Lu Gongzi just now was his second cousin, and was shocked: "What, then Lu Gongzi is your second cousin?" ”

She only now understands why Lu Shikang looked solemn after the group of people entered the door just now.

"How did he come here?" Qingzhi asked suspiciously.

"That's what I want to know......" Lu replied.

"Could it be that your Lu family is also a descendant of bandits?" Qingzhi looked at Lu Shikang and said. And how can a noble son like him who is pampered and pampered be the descendant of a bandit?

"There is no way to ......," Lu Shikang replied categorically.

"Then why is your second cousin here?"

Lu Shikang said: "Since he is here, there must be a reason......

Although he vaguely guessed something, it was inconvenient to talk to Aoeda at this time.

The other son just now, the man in black, was called the young master, and he also felt a little familiar. But I can't remember where I've seen it for a while.

Seeing that he was silent, Qingzhi suddenly remembered that his second cousin was face to face with him just now, so he asked in a worried low voice, "Master Lu, will your second cousin see you just now?" ”

Lu Shikang said: "Probably not, I am wearing this kind of clothes, and I am here, he will definitely not pay attention to it." ”

Just now he was worried that his second cousin would recognize him, but when he saw that he only glanced this way, he looked away again, and he didn't notice the look of shock in his expression, so he decided that he hadn't found himself.

"That'll be fine." Qingzhi Road.

Back at their accommodation, the two put down the barrels and towels and began to walk towards the hole again.

Today is the time for the two of them to dig a hole.

When he arrived at the cave, Qingzhi found the place where the oil lamp and flint had been placed, a smooth oval-shaped stone, and lit the oil lamp.

The chisel and hammer were placed on top of the stone, and Lu Shikang picked up the chisel and the stone.

The two men came to the hole and began to dig it, as before.

It is said that it is a hole, but in fact, it is a widening of the hole. Because there was a small passage that could have been passed through by a hare.

Aoeda had read books about it and knew that mountains made of limestone were usually formed by water eroding the rocks.

With this kind of passage, there will be hares or other animals in the holes.

Suddenly, the oil lamp in Aoeda's hand was blown out by a gust of wind.

"It looks like we're about to chisel through the ......," Lu Shikang said in the darkness.

There could be no wind in the cave, and the wind that blew out the lights could only be from outside.

Qingzhi said happily: "Well......, otherwise there will be no wind coming in." ”
