He looked at Lu Chen deeply and said: "You have been practicing in school for so many years, don't drop the chain in battle, although you have the teacher's care, but you can't cover everything, otherwise it will still attract great danger." ”
After speaking, Hu Quan reached out and picked up a metal box from the corner of the back wall, handed it to him with a smile, and said, "I've sent it to you!" ”
Lu Chen paused, and then said in a loud voice with great joy: "Professional fishing rod? ”
"Huh...... YW-02 'Yuwei' fishing rod, just the basic equipment, you are the most talented student I have ever taught in the runes, and in recent years, I have helped me weld a lot of iron rods on weekends, this is my gift to you! Hu Quan waved his hand proudly, with a warm smile on his face.
Although Hu Quan said it easily, Lu Chen was extremely grateful at this moment, he knew that this was the teacher taking care of himself, no matter how rudimentary the professional fishing gear was, but the cost was very expensive! Because the rods and lines are all made of special metals, only professional companies can produce them, and they have to be inscribed with intricate runes.
"Teacher, thank you......" Lu Chen's eyes were filled with tears, and he muttered, burying this kindness deep in his heart.
Hu Quan waved his hand: "Okay, help me make a few more hardcore fishing rods today." ”
"Yes!" Lu Chen replied without hesitation.
For half a day, he once again helped Hu Quan weld several iron fishing rods, which were of quite good quality, and the students' fishing practice relied on these equipment.
Before leaving, Hu Quan looked deeply at Lu Chen's departing figure, shook his head and sighed, "Alas...... It's a pity...... Such a good seedling, because of insufficient nutrition, can only reach the two layers of Taoism......"
In today's world, Taoist priests are divided into eight levels according to their strength: Daoist, Daoist, Daoist, Daozong, Dao King, Dao Sheng, Dao Zun and Dao God, each level is divided into ten sub-levels.
The Taoist disciple is only the most basic low-level level, and of course, it is also the most important stage of laying the foundation.
Lu Chen had just walked out of the school gate, and after a few steps, he heard a delicate voice on his side ringing in his ears.
"Brother, I knew you were running to school!"
Lu Chen turned his head and saw a girl in a purple dress running in the alley in the distance behind him.
Although it is not stunning, but that childish little face contains a touch of charm, purity and charm, a collection of contradictions, making it easy for her to become the focus of others' attention.
"Menghan? What are you doing here? Lu Chen looked at the girl in amazement, his expression was surprised, but there was a faint soft color in his eyes.
This is his cousin, Lu Menghan, the only daughter of Uncle Lu Zhengqing, who is in her second year of high school this year.
Lu Chen grew up with him since he was a child, and his relationship is very deep, although Hu Fengjiao is tough and irritable, but this girl has not inherited her at all.
On the contrary, Lu Menghan's personality is very soft, and he also has a deep dependence on his brother.
"I heard that you and your mother quarreled again in the morning, and I was worried about you, so I came to take a look......"
"I'm fine." Lu Chen shook his head, no matter how distressed he was, he never liked to show it in front of his sister.
"But ......" Lu Menghan opened her mouth, she knew her brother's character, and she didn't know what to say, so she had to ask, "Then, where are you going now?" ”
"Rent a house!" Lu Chen replied indifferently, with a decisive look in his demeanor, but this sentence made the little girl's face startled!
She shook her head into a rattle in a panic, and her willow eyebrows were clustered.
"No, no, if you go out to live by yourself, grandpa won't be at ease!"
"Got it." Lu Chen rubbed his sister's head and interrupted her: "I have already decided, I have to solve my own affairs." ”
Lu Menghan suddenly pursed his lips when he saw him like this, knowing that it was useless for him to say more, but in his heart he disagreed, so he simply protested silently, and at the same time followed Lu Chen closely.
The two went directly to the location of the real estate agency in the county.
More than two hours passed, and it was almost dusk.
Lu Menghan was standing in front of several dilapidated cement and red brick houses in the "Broken Kiln District" of the county at this time, his eyes widened, his mouth open, and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother, are you really going to live in this kind of place......?" ”
The so-called broken kiln area is the poorest area in Baokang County, which not only has a wide range, but also lives here with homeless people, beggars and even labor prisoners, etc., which can be said to be a place where fish and dragons are mixed and public security is chaotic.
Lu Chen stood beside him with a solemn face, and his eyes kept flickering.
Not only is the house shabby, but it is surrounded by muddy water and garbage littered among potholes.
The other houses in the vicinity are basically uninhabitable, and the slightly better ones are all blue brick houses or dilapidated old houses, which due to bad luck have not been classified as slums in the county and have lost their treatment under government management.
Lu Chen was also very speechless, and the corners of his mouth twitched and whispered, "No way...... It's cheap ......"
Since he didn't have much money in his hand, after the calculation of the real estate agent, he could only live in this dilapidated kiln area with his bid.
In the dim streets and alleys all around, shadows flickered, and of course, under the influence of the demonic energy of the world today, anything could appear here.
The house that Lu Chen and the others looked at was located in the northwest corner of the broken kiln area, with a small courtyard with a vermilion gate attached to it, and this house seemed to have been built by the owner of the yard himself, and it was specially used for rent.
At this moment, next to Lu Chen and Lu Menghan stood a middle-aged man with a small height and a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, who was desperately selling these rooms.
"This little brother, don't look at this house, it's simpler, but it's the cheapest, thirty yuan a month, I'm Zhao Ye Golden Boy, I'm not bullied, and it's more real than anyone else to do business!"
"You won't find a lower price than mine here! And the doors and windows are all right in the house, and there is a faucet outside. The spit in his mouth spurted wildly, and he almost told such a broken house.
Despite this, the cold wind blows here, and it always gives people a very cool feeling.
Lu Chen walked into the room and looked around, except for an iron bed with a wooden board and a pair of broken tables and chairs, there was nothing else, it looked empty and quite old.
At this moment, the two brothers and sisters frowned tightly, and the information revealed between their expressions was obvious, and they were very dissatisfied with this place.
To be honest, Lu Chen really has never lived in this kind of house, not to mention that there are muddy ponds everywhere on the ground nearby, and the surroundings are still dark and gloomy, but at the moment this is the cheapest option, and he has no money so he can only save as much as possible.
"This house is too dilapidated, your price is ......," Lu Chen said in a hesitant voice.
Just as he opened his mouth, the room next to him suddenly "squeak!" An old lady dressed in black slowly walked out.
