Chapter 54: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions
Overseas, in the southwest of Japan, there are hundreds of large and small islands.
A small and inconspicuous island, off the beaten track, the only thing that stands out is the towering peaks of the island, an extinct volcano that has been silent for thousands of years, and the jungle is dense and verdant.
On the top of the mountain, an ancient shrine stands, most of the vermilion lacquer on the torii gate has fallen off, and the jade wall and the approach are also in tatters, and the famous large shrines are basically two worlds.
In the shrine, there is a strange beast-shaped statue of a large snake with wings on its back erecting its upper body, its bloody mouth wide open, its fangs exposed, and exuding a strong sinister aura.
Under the idol, an old man sat cross-legged, dressed in sackcloth, with his hair scattered, as quiet as a dead man.
Da! Da......
There was a rapid sound of clogs stomping on the ground, and a middle-aged man in a black kimono suddenly broke in, and when he saw the old man, he immediately knelt down.
"Master, Chongsan has been martyred!" Takeda Shoichi lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, and the expression on his face did not fluctuate at all, "It seems that the masters of the Central Plains are not extinct yet!"
"What about Okizo's death, are we going to take revenge?" asked Shoichi Takeda.
The old man still looked calm, but picked up a small pebble from the ground and threw it into the basin of water for cleaning his hands.
With a ding-dong, the stone fell, setting off a slight ripple, and soon regained its calm.
"It's called throwing stones and asking for directions. ”
The old man smiled indifferently, closed his eyes, and fell silent again.
Takeda was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted.
It turned out that the master was willing to accept the Chinese to get started, and he used him as a stone at the beginning, but he borrowed that fool to explore the depth of the water in the Central Plains.
"Martial arts are prosperous!"
Takeda Shoichi kowtowed suddenly, said in a deep voice, and then turned to leave.
He knew that Master was hitting the threshold of Tiangang Avenue and was at a critical moment, and he didn't want to be disturbed by anyone.
This time, if it weren't for the death of Takeda Chongzo, he wouldn't dare to come to the shrine and wake up the Teng Snake, one of the twelve heavenly generals.
Nanhua City, Nanhua No. 1 Middle School.
As the bell rang urgently, the last day of the second half of the school year finally came to an end.
The students were relieved to hand in their exam papers.
Regardless of whether the test is good or bad, at least the semester is over, and the next thing is a month-long vacation, the coveted winter vacation.
"Brother Lu, how did you do in the exam?" Huang Xia walked over and asked.
"So-so, it's not good, it's not bad. ”
After the last disturbance, Lu Zheng didn't want to cause trouble anymore, so he deliberately answered many questions incorrectly, and pressed the total score of each course down.
He knows what the correct answer is for each question, and he can freely control the correct and wrong answers, and he can score a few points if he wants.
"To say it is to say it in vain. Huang Xia pouted unhappily.
Lu Zheng said: "More than six hundred, it won't exceed six hundred and five, so it's always satisfying, right?"
"Why did you do so badly this time? Didn't you take more than 700 exams during the midterm exam? I think that the difficulty of the final exam paper this time is not as high as the midterm exam, why did you get even worse in the exam?" Huang Xia asked a series of questions, non-stop.
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I want everyone to have a good year, how about this reason?"
"You, you, you...... I'm!"
Hearing such arrogant words, Huang Xia couldn't think of how to refute for a while, so she turned around and left in anger.
Since it was the last day, they could go home directly after the exam, and everyone was in a hurry, wishing they could leave school earlier.
Only Lu Zheng was not in a hurry or slow, and when he walked to the school gate, the surroundings were already empty and deserted.
At this time, in the corner of the wall, a beautiful figure appeared and stopped in front of Lu Zheng, it was Wen Qian.
Shoulder-length short hair, no makeup on the face, and even the clothes he wears are much more conservative, with a thick down jacket on the upper body and a pair of slim jeans underneath.
However, with her appearance and figure, others will be deeply attracted as long as they pay a little attention.
"Pay you back!"
Wen Qian took out an envelope and stuffed it into his hand, it was not very thick, it was only a few thousand smaller.
Lu Zheng didn't count, so he accepted it directly.
"Won't you count?" asked Winsy.
"Too lazy to count, you say!"
10,000 yuan, for him, is not even a dime. If she hadn't wanted to teach Wen Qian a lesson, Lu Zheng probably wouldn't have asked her to pay back.
"It's only 4,000 yuan in it, and the bar where I worked last time, they settled my salary of more than 2,000 yuan, plus what I usually saved by frugality, that's all. In the past few months, let alone clothes and bags, I haven't even been willing to buy a pair of gloves. Wen Qian said aggrievedly.
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Well, even if it's four thousand, then you still owe me six thousand, when are you going to pay it back?"
Wen Qian stomped her foot vigorously and said angrily, "You are really ruthless enough. ”
"If I had been ruthless, I wouldn't have helped you so many times. One yard to one yard, in short, before the end of the college entrance examination, you try to pay off the money as much as possible. Lu Zheng said lightly.
"Got it, stingy!"
Wen Qian's cheeks were bulging, and her hands were rubbing together to keep warm.
Lu Zheng took a closer look and found that her little hands were red from the cold, with a few fingers, and frostbite, which was really the same as she said, and she was reluctant to buy gloves.
"Come with me!"
Lu Zheng grabbed her hand.
"What are you going to do?" Wen Qian asked unhappily.
"Buy gloves!" Lu Zheng glanced at her and said lightly.
Hearing this, Wen Qian, who was still struggling a little just now, quickly became docile and clasped Lu Zheng's five fingers with her backhand. The two walked together holding hands, like a couple in love.
Even Wen Qian herself didn't realize that unconsciously, she would gradually become familiar with this inconspicuous man, gradually get used to it, and even began to be more and more obedient.
Lu Zheng's home is in Wuyan County, below Nanhua City, more than 80 kilometers away from Nanhua City.
On the way back, Lu Zheng received a call from Magnolia, saying that she had submitted a letter of resignation to the principal, but the principal hoped that she would finish this senior year.
What makes her happiest is that Wanxing Entertainment's side actually agreed to this request, and she can wait for the college entrance examination to end before letting her officially join the job.
"Sister Lan, congratulations. Lu Zheng said with a smile.
On the other side of the phone, I still couldn't suppress my excitement, "Speaking of which, I really have to thank you, especially your father." Thanks to him for helping me introduce jobs, if it weren't for his relationship, it is estimated that Wanxing Entertainment would not have agreed to my entry after the college entrance examination. ”
Lu Zheng smiled and didn't say anything.
Sorry, it's just a change today, and a little more tomorrow. Recently, the plot is a bit stuck, and it's not easy to write.
