Chapter 42: Neighbors

Liu Lu didn't stay in Tassel City for too long, whether it was the Iron Sword Gate or the Weihu Dart Bureau, he didn't care too much.

After leaving Tassel City, Liu Lu did not take the mainstream post road official road, although his identity has not been exposed until now, and the people of the Weihu Dart Bureau and the White Dragon Gang do not know about his existence, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he still decided to stay away from crowded places.

This time he went to Star City, completely dressed as a tourist, and this is indeed his current identity.

In addition to touring the mountains and rivers along the way, Liu Lu was quite concerned about looking for immortals and visiting the ancients, originally thought that there would be a good harvest with Xianyi, a demon who had lived for countless years, and the ruins of the ancient land were not a quasi, and a large number of them were waiting for him to open up, but I don't know if Xianyi was not interested at all, or if it was really as he said because of the change of heaven and earth for too long, he was temporarily powerless, and Liu Lu was helpless about this, and he didn't have any hope for Xianyi.

From Tassel City to Star City, Liu Lu walked leisurely for nearly two months, if it weren't for the fact that it was close to the depths of winter and it was freezing outside, he could continue to be free.

Along the way, Xian Yi has been very silent, as long as Liu Lu doesn't bother, he basically won't take the initiative to talk to Liu Lu.

Liu Lu thought that Xian Yi was holding back something bad at first, so he focused on monitoring Xian Yi for a few days, but he didn't find anything for a few days, and the things in the wooden box didn't change at all, and then Liu Lu gave up, anyway, if Xian Yi really wanted to do something and didn't want him to find out, it would be easy, and he didn't have any effective way, but fortunately, he resigned himself to fate, counting on Xian Yi to have a high level of consciousness and keep integrity.

No matter what Liu Lu thought of Xianyi in his heart, at least on the surface, he showed the sincerity of a collaborator.

Along the way, Liu Lu saw some towering numbers when he passed through a mountain forest, and he would always knock on the rattan bracelet in his left hand, and would ask "Does this wood fit your appetite", Xian Yi also seriously expressed his denial at first, but with more times, Xian Yi basically didn't care much about Liu Lu, and Liu Lu no longer bothered Xian Yi after feeling bored, and both sides seemed to forget that there was still the existence of the other party.

Coming to Star City again, the prosperity is still the same.

Liu Lu took away the little hard-earned belongings from Tassel City, and spent most of them on the road, and the only remaining bit was in a place like Star City, but it couldn't withstand the cost of a few days, but fortunately, at that time, he also took away two valuable things from the underground space of Mushe Mountain, and this was where his confidence lies, otherwise he would really have to beg for food in the ice and snow of Star City.

The night pearl that Liu Lu got from that underground space is not a very ordinary kind, in Xianyi's words, it is also a rare treasure of great value in the mundane world, and if you find someone who knows the goods, you can exchange it for a lot of money.

The concept of "not a small sum of money" mentioned by Xianyi is a huge amount of money comparable to gold and silver mountains in Liu Lu's cognition, so Liu Lu cherished it very much and did not take out the night pearl for money.

Star City is a place where the jade trade is very prosperous, and there is naturally no shortage of knowledgeable people in jade. The jade that Liu Lu brought out from the underground space was very outstanding, beautifully carved, and it was an ancient jade that was very well preserved, so it was sold for a very surprising price.

After there was no shortage of money, Liu Lu, who had planned to live in Star City, gave up his previous plan to find a money-making livelihood in Star City to make a living, and began to think about using the money in his hand to buy himself a small house in Star City, so that he could live and start a family.

Liu Lu said that he would do it, and it took three or four days to roughly touch the Star City, only to find that with his current sudden wealth, he could not buy a house with slightly better conditions to enjoy, and could only buy a spacious old courtyard in the place where the working people lived in the west of Star City.

Liu Lu had no choice but to accept the reality, so he resigned himself to buying the courtyard in the west of the city.

It was originally a housewarming joy, but no one came to congratulate Liu Lu.

Finally having his own nest, Liu Lu is still very excited and happy, and he is also full of expectations for the future.

This courtyard in the west of the city, located in the depths of the alley, is quite quiet, and the layout is also very satisfying, one main two partial three wooden houses, a small kitchen, there is an old plum tree in the yard, there is a well in the corner, you can also draw water, there is a simple firewood shed at the entrance of the courtyard is a place to pile up sundries.

Because there has been no one living in the yard for more than half a year, Liu Lu, who has just moved in, has spent a lot of time cleaning up for two or three days before he is a little more angry and can live in.

At this moment, Liu Lu stood in the middle of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking at his home with great satisfaction, and he felt a great sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"Now I'm just going to have a daughter-in-law!"

Liu Lu's obsession with marrying a daughter-in-law and starting a family is completely better than that of cultivating immortals.

Because in Liu Lu's view, he is not qualified well, and he is destined to have no achievements in cultivating immortals, that is, his qualifications are very good, so good that he is one in a million, and it will not delay him from marrying a wife and starting a family.

Just as Liu Lu was daydreaming with a smirk, a woman appeared at the gate of the courtyard, carrying a handful of vegetables that had been stored in the cellar until now.

"Xiao Liu, he is really a diligent person, he will clean it up in a day or two."

Liu Lu smiled at the woman, the woman is the next-door neighbor, is a very warm-hearted person, he met when he bought a house, and gave him a lot of advice, after moving here in the past few days, if there is anything to do, he will come over and chat with him, most of the time he is knocking on the side to find out his identity and origin.

"Aunt Zhang."

Aunt Zhang is a slightly chubby woman with a kind face.

"Here, there are no good things at home, take this green vegetables to cook."

Liu Lu thanked him, "Aunt Zhang, you are too polite, let's sit inside." ”

"No, I'll just stand here and say a few words, the fire at home is still burning."

Then Aunt Zhang chatted with Liu Lu about family life, of course, it was mainly Aunt Zhang who asked, and Liu Lu replied with a smirk.

"Xiao Liu, it's almost twenty."

"Almost, eighteen."

"Eighteen is good. You say you haven't started a family yet? ”

"Yes."

"That's going to be hurry, it's not too small."

"Indeed."

"Do you have a favorite girl?"

"Hehe, didn't you just move here, you don't know the place well, and you haven't known any girls yet."

"Then hurry up."

"Well, yes."

"I see that you are also a good guy, and my aunt will tell you if she knows something."

"That's good, I've thanked Aunt Zhang first."

Aunt Zhang seemed to have opened the conversation box, and when she was about to continue, a pleasant and sweet voice came from the other side of the wall.

"Mother......

"Oops, call me." After Aunt Zhang greeted Liu Lu, she turned around and went back.

Liu Lu shook his head with a smile, and put the vegetables in his hand in the kitchen.

The yard is cleaned up, but there is no fire in the cold sky house and it is really impossible to stay at night, Liu Lu plans to go out to buy some charcoal, fortunately, when he bought the yard before, he left enough money to live this winter, so he didn't want to wronged himself, let himself suffer, and live in a cold place.

In the next three months, Liu Lu can be said to live in a simple place, and usually practice martial arts in his own courtyard, except for occasionally going out to buy daily necessities such as oil and food for a period of time, he basically rarely goes out.

As for the reason why they don't want to go out, it's not that Liu Lu is still worried about the retaliation of the Weihu Dart Bureau and the White Dragon Gang, the Weihu Dart Bureau is far away in Tassel City, and the whip is beyond reach, and their hands can't reach out to Star City, and although the White Dragon Gang is said to be overwhelming, Star City is also the most important and largest stronghold for them in addition to the base camp, but trying to find a person whose identity information is not clear among the hundreds of thousands of people in Star City is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and the White Dragon Gang is not monolithic. So Liu Lu wasn't too worried about the White Dragon Gang.

The only thing Liu Lu has to do now is to improve his own strength, one is to avoid some potential threats, and the other is that after seeing Shi Hao's methods of immortal cultivators, he still yearns for it in his heart, as long as he can break through to the Qi refining period and become an immortal cultivator, it is impossible to say that everything can be solved.

Cultivation was originally a gradual process, to say that according to the past, Liu Lu could only accumulate penance little by little, but now he is more generous, the more than 20 pills he exchanged in Mushe Mountain before can save him a lot of penance, enough strength to go further, as for whether he can successfully break through to the Qi refining period and become a legitimate immortal cultivator, he has no bottom in his own heart, he hopes that everything will go well in his cultivation, but it is only his hope.

In the past three months, although Liu Lu rarely goes out and is not an active person, he can't help but have a warm neighbor, so Liu Lu is already familiar with Aunt Zhang's family.

Aunt Zhang's family is very ordinary in Star City, and it is also the kind of family that is the most, small family, the family is harmonious, and lives their own happy little life.

Speaking of which, Aunt Zhang's family of four, Aunt Zhang's husband is an honest person, cooks good food, is a cook in a large restaurant in the west of the city, relying on excellent craftsmanship, there is no problem in supporting the family, because he goes out early and returns late, and Liu Lu does not see much face, and he is also a person who talks little, and Liu Lu can be regarded as only a "nodding friend", and the two sometimes meet just nodding and saying hello.

As for the children of the two, they are also the children of other people's families who are famous in the surrounding streets, and their daughter Zhang Cailing, who is just over fifteen years old, is the eldest in the family, virtuous and sensible, Aunt Zhang can have the leisure to chat around the door, thanks to her helping to take care of the housework.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Cailing is very, very good-looking, and she is a well-known beauty in the surrounding area, and when Liu Lu saw her for the first time, she was really amazed.

With the presence of Zhang Cailing, Liu Lu has been discharged from the hospital more often, standing at the gate of the hospital with nothing to do, of course, Liu Lu's face is not thick enough to run to Aunt Zhang's house every day, and the relationship between the two is limited to the politeness between neighbors.

Aunt Zhang's son, Zhang Cailing's younger brother Zhang Wensheng, thirteen years old, looks white and clean, very calm, is a scholar, and is very knowledgeable and courteous, very popular with the neighbors.

What is strange is that in addition to the enthusiastic Aunt Zhang, the relationship between Zhang Wensheng and Liu Lu is good, Zhang Wensheng has little interest in sword dancing and knife fighting, and he does not have the dream of a hero like ordinary young people, but he likes to watch Liu Lu play sword quietly, which is why Zhang Wensheng, a scholar, is willing to deal with a rough person like Liu Lu.
