Chapter Twenty-Six: I'm Lucky to Have You
"Really?" Chen Xiaoli took his hand in surprise and looked excited, she didn't have any friends here, and she was really uncomfortable with everything by herself.
Lu Chen patted his chest vigorously and nodded in response: "Of course!" This kind of trifle is nothing. ”
In the afternoon, the sun sets.
At the end of the day, a large group ......of students wearing Taoist robes and pedaling boots ran out of the county high school happily.
It was getting a little colder, and the north wind was blowing and whining.
Lu Chen and Chen Xiaoli quickly came to the Champs-Elysée apartment in the county, which was one of the most upscale apartments in the entire county, but when the two of them arrived here, they saw that the building was actually cordoned!
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The policeman, dressed in a yellow robe and a large-brimmed hat, shouted rudely and did not let anyone approach.
Suddenly, a resident who seemed to live here anxiously asked: "Officer Daoist, our house is on this floor, what happened?" Why don't you let me go home? ”
"Humph!" A stout policeman with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and muscles like a dragon asked, "Which room do you live in?" ”
"Three-two-two room!" The resident replied, apparently in a hurry to go home.
"It's good that it's not room 415!" The thick-eyebrow policeman shouted in a deep voice: "This place is haunted, Wu Zhenggang, the captain of the county inspection team, went in to investigate just now, and the yin qi is too strong!" We advise you to stay away from here for the time being! ”
"What!?" The residents' eyes widened when they heard this!
His lips were purple, his face was pale, and his whole body trembled and asked, "Our apartment is a high-end apartment, and there are runes carved everywhere, how can a powerful ghost suddenly appear?" Officer, you must be mistaken! ”
The other residents around also nodded their heads in agreement, they firmly agreed with this, how could it be possible to suddenly have a gloomy atmosphere in an apartment that is safe and quiet on weekdays? It's completely impossible!
"Don't make any noise! It is said to be a one-eyed skeleton! I don't know the specifics! The policeman shouted angrily, and said nothing more.
Lu Chen looked at this scene anxiously, and pulled Chen Xiaoli to ask.
But she didn't respond, but stood in place, and said with a solemn expression: "No need, Grandma Yan should have left early, I know her character, but if there is a little bit of demonic energy here, I won't stay long." ”
"Huh?" Lu Chen opened his mouth, if he didn't even probe, wouldn't it be bad.
However, looking at Chen Xiaoli's expression, it seems that there is really no need to go in.
Looking at the serious appearance of the police, I am afraid that no one will be allowed to enter at will, and it will be useless to go up.
The residents outside sighed, and they could only consider themselves unlucky when they encountered such a strange situation.
"Let's go back." Chen Xiaoli said softly, pulling Lu Chen and walking back.
The two walked side by side like a couple, heading towards the broken kiln area together, and their appearance really envied many people, and everyone was jealous of the "good luck" of this silly boy.
As we approached the slums at the bottom, the population became scarce, and even the temperature seemed to drop.
Looking at the muddy roads and gloomy alleys here, as well as the flickering street lights, Lu Chen quietly glanced at his side, he suddenly found that he was not lonely, with Chen Xiaoli and this girl with him, it was actually quite interesting to live in this kind of place.
"Lu Chen, if you had money, would you leave here?" The two walked side by side, and Chen Xiaoli suddenly asked such a sentence abruptly.
"Yes." Lu Chen nodded, he smiled and said, "If I want to be rich, I will buy a villa in the rich area, and take my grandfather and you over to live!" ”
In the ears of ordinary people, these words must sound a little ambiguous, but in Lu Chen's clean eyes, there is no evil at all.
He just stared at Chen Xiaoli with a determined look in his eyes.
"Why did you pick me up?" Chen Xiaoli asked, "What if I don't want to leave here?" ”
"You don't want to leave?" Lu Chen frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Then I'll rent a house for my grandfather, and then live here with you, otherwise it's too lonely for you to live here as a girl." ”
He gradually showed a look of anticipation in his eyes and said, "When our college entrance examination is over, we will move out of here to go to college in the city."
"University ......" Chen Xiaoli thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, when the time comes, we will work hard to be admitted to the university, maybe I will give you a gift!" ”
"Gifts? What is it? Lu Chen asked curiously, and the brilliance in his cunning eyes escaped.
The two of them talked as they walked, and the cold alley was lit up for a few minutes.
"Confidential!" Chen Xiaoli suddenly raised her little face and smiled, revealing a mysterious smile, which was a little delicate in this smile, which made her a little more beautiful.
"Good!" Lu Chen nodded, and said with a wicked smile: "Don't be repaid then-"
The scope of the broken kiln area is not small, and the two shuttled for a long time to reach their small courtyard.
It's a very remote place, and no one notices that it's a miracle that such a pair of boys and girls live warmly in this untouchable area or corner.
Although Lu Chen was not afraid of any ghosts, he sighed in his heart, if Chen Xiaoli was not punished by the family to live in this ancestral house, or if his grandmother did not live here, then he would definitely be very lonely......
"Fortunately, you ......" Lu Chen looked at this girl, and a little happiness suddenly rose in his heart.
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky seemed to be sprinkled with broken gold, gradually dimming.
Lu Chen, who returned to the room, suddenly remembered an important thing, he said, "Poof! He got up and ran out.
He also had to go to the sauce jar alley in the south of the broken kiln area to find Wu Wei and others.
Shuttling through the gloomy alleys, it was easy to get lost, if it weren't for Lu Chen who was still a Taoist and had stargazing skills, otherwise it would be difficult to discern the direction in this chaotic place.
In the southern part of the kiln area, in addition to the broken brick houses, there are also large shanty towns.
Only a few of the poor people can find work in the county, and the rest of them live by begging, and even a few need to survive by sneaking across bridges and picking up scraps in the wilderness.
Lu Chen searched several times, and finally came to the sauce jar alley, which is slightly stronger than the shantytown, at least it is still a red brick house.
Wu Wei has been a little restless these days, and the last time he did something immoral, he was directly caught, so that he still can't even sleep, for fear that people will come to the door, so the big iron door has been closed tightly for the past two days.
He used the bridge of the hammer gang to go out and pick up the rags a few times, although it was very dangerous, but Wu Wei was lucky, and a few of them happened to encounter an old car, unloaded the battery inside, and sold it for some money.
