Chapter 111 Don’t Be Afraid, My Lady
The record player finally made a sound, and Li Banfeng let out a long sigh: "My wife, I thought you were seriously injured and couldn't speak."
"Seriously injured? What are you talking about, my husband? A good woman can go to the hall and the kitchen, and prepare a small dish, but you still say you are injured."
As he spoke, the sound of the record player changed a little, just like going over a hill, the tone was high and low, and Li Banfeng became nervous again.
"My husband, today's ingredients are special, and I am really full this time. You give this corpse to Honglian for disposal. She can refine some good things for you. Even if you can't eat it, you can sell it for a good price.
My husband also knows my temperament. When I am full, I want to sleep a little longer. If you have something to do, go and do it, don't pay attention to me."
The record player kept changing the tone, and Li Banfeng looked at the scattered parts on the ground and frowned again.
Chichi~
"Sir, don't worry about those trivial things. They are useless anyway. It doesn't matter if you have more or less of them. When I wake up, I'll pick up some useful ones and put them back."
Li Banfeng picked up a gear and found that the gear teeth were broken and the axle was bent.
Can it be put back?
"Sir, please dispose of the insect's body quickly. I feel sick looking at it."
Li Banfeng moved the copper lotus.
The copper lotus sensed the body of Mrs. Moth and quickly opened its petals to take her in.
Chichi~
The record player reminded again: "Sir, I'm really tired and want to have a good sleep. Please move the red lotus to the outer room and don't let her disturb me."
Afraid of her disturbing me?
Is he too weak to guard against the copper lotus?
Li Banfeng moved the copper lotus away and went back to the main room to look at the record player. The record player was silent.
He gathered the scattered parts together, was silent for a moment, and left Suishenju.
Tonglianhua snorted coldly in the outer room: "Evil woman, you have also had this day. You dare not say anything even though your body is ruined. After all, you don't trust that madman. I want to see how long you can hold on."
The record player changed the tune and replied: "Bitch, believe it or not, I will take your life now."
"Come if you have the guts!"
"Honglian, don't be too arrogant. After entering this room, the one in the sky can't sense you. Without that one to take care of you, do you think I can't really kill you?"
...
Li Banfeng followed the footprints to find Ma Wu and took him back to Lanyang Village.
After surviving the disaster, Ma Wu was still afraid. Along the way, he kept asking Li Banfeng how to get rid of Mrs. Suo Mo, but Li Banfeng kept silent.
Back to the wooden house, Li Banfeng asked something: "Brother Ma, do you know where there is a record player in Lanyang Village?"
He had to find a way to replace some parts for his wife.
"Record player?" Ma Wu thought for a moment, "This thing is not easy to find. I remember that the Song family should have a record player."
"Is it a steam record player?"
"Steam record player? Made in Amikan?" Ma Wu shook his head and said, "This thing is even rarer. I know there is one. I have seen it several times on the Lu family's special train. It is quite troublesome. You have to add water and oil."
Ma Wu has only seen one?
Li Banfeng remembered.
Manager Feng once said that this is a record player made by hand in Amikan, and there are only two in the whole Pro Province.
One is in Li Banfeng's hands, and the other is on the Lu family's special train.
Go to the Lu family's special train and steal the other record player?
Li Banfeng can't even get on the train, and he still wants to get on the Lu family's special train?
This is obviously not feasible.
Ma Wu said, "Brother Li, if you like record players, don't buy such fancy ones. You can buy a hand-cranked one or a wind-up one. They are both good and affordable."
"Where can I buy one?"
Ma Wu thought for a moment and said, "The Miaosheng Record Player Shop in Lushui City has a full range of products, but given your current situation, it's best not to go into the city."
Li Banfeng unfolded the map he bought from Shopkeeper Feng: "Tell me first, where is the Miaosheng Record Player Shop?"
Ma Wu looked at the map and shook his head slightly, saying, "This map is not detailed enough, but it's hard to say."
The map that Shopkeeper Feng gave Li Banfeng was a map of the entire Lushui Bay.
However, the actual situation of Lushui Bay is much more complicated than on the map.
The central area of Lushui Bay is called Lushui City.
There are several small towns surrounding Lushui City.
On the outskirts of the town are some decent villages, where villagers make a living by farming and provide crops for Lushui City.
On the outskirts of the decent villages are informal villages, and Lanyang Village is one of them.
These unruly villages are almost uncultivated, but they can also provide special resources for Green Water City.
"It seems that the distance is quite far."
Ma Wu gestured on the map: "About 120 miles, Brother Li, if you insist on going into the city, let's choose a suitable day, I'll find someone to go and check the situation first..."
"No day, today."
"Going into the city today?" Ma Wu was stunned, "Just to buy a record player?"
"Yes, just to buy a record player," Li Banfeng nodded, "I want to listen to music, if I don't listen for a day, I will feel uncomfortable all over."
"Brother Li has this hobby?" Ma Wu wanted to laugh, but Li Banfeng was not joking.
Seeing this, Ma Wu quickly packed up his things, "I'll bring some food, and we'll go together."
"You don't have to go, just tell me the place." Li Banfeng didn't plan to take Ma Wu with him, he walked too slowly.
Ma Wu didn't know what to say: "Brother Li, what are you going to do in Green Water City?"
"Didn't I say it, I want to buy a record player, I can't wait a moment."
...
In the Lu family mansion, Lu Dongliang called a fifth-level civil practitioner to test Lu Chunying's knowledge.
In Pro Province, civil practitioners and martial practitioners are generally considered orthodox, and the four major families are no exception.
It's just that the Lu family is not as conservative as the Ma family, and they are not opposed to other Taoist sects, but as a lady from a noble family, civil practitioners are obviously a more reasonable choice.
The fifth-level civil practitioner asked more than a dozen questions, and Lu Chunying answered them fluently, thanks to Xiao Yeci's usual teaching. Although she is only a first-level, the foundation left by Lu Chunying is very solid.
Lu Dongliang nodded and praised Lu Chunying twice.
"Not bad, quite good."
Hearing these two compliments were a bit reluctant, Lu Chunying carefully guessed Lu Dongliang's thoughts.
In fact, she was not guessing at this moment, she had been guessing since she entered the Lu family.
Lu Dongliang is a high-level travel cultivator, and his specific cultivation is unknown.
But none of his children chose to travel.
Did Lu Dongliang not want to?
Of course not.
The characteristic of traveling and cultivating is that one has no fixed place to stay. Lu Dongliang has been running around for many years and running his family business. For him, cultivating has never been a burden.
But his children don't have to live so hard.
Xiao Yeci once told Lu Chunying a story about a rich girl and her beloved lover who eloped three times.
The three elopements failed because the rich girl couldn't stand the hardship of the journey.
When people are on the road, it's not easy to sleep in the open air.
Xiao Yeci warned Lu Chunying that if a rich man said that he was tired of being restrained, wanted freedom, and wanted to travel far, don't take it seriously. He just wanted to go out and have fun, not really wanting to go out with you and suffer.
Traveling and cultivating are completely different things.
Lu Chunying looked at Lu Dongliang's face and asked carefully: "Dad, I want to see my mother."
She hasn't seen Xiao Yeci for a long time.
"Let's talk about it later." Lu Dongliang frowned and said casually.
Lu Chunying whispered, "Dad, do you think she is not my mother at all?"
Lu Dongliang frowned and asked back, "Do you think she is your mother?"
According to Lu Dongliang's speculation, Lu Chunying would say that she has identified this mother, would tell in detail about their past of relying on each other, and would cry and beg Lu Dongliang to take in Xiao Yeci.
He hates these worthless old relationships the most.
But Lu Chunying just replied calmly: "I don't think she is."
Lu Dongliang narrowed his eyes and asked: "How did you see that?"
"Her age is almost the same as my sister, how could she be my mother? This is obvious."
Lu Dongliang smiled and said: "Then why do you still want to see her?"
"I just want to make it clear to her that I have returned home and have recognized my family. The past should be over.
She is not my mother, nor is she my family. As for her origin, it doesn't matter. Some thoughts must be cut off.
But I can't let her go out and talk nonsense, so that outsiders will scold me for being heartless. Just give her some money and send her away."
Lu Dongliang was very satisfied with this answer.
This is basically consistent with Lu Dongliang's idea. The only difference is that Lu Dongliang did not want to send Xiao Yeci away. He wanted Xiao Yeci to disappear completely.
But these two results are not contradictory.
If someone else sat here, he might think that Lu Chunying was too cruel.
But Lu Dongliang didn't think so. He thought this was what his daughter should be like.
He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you can go meet her in two days.
Now let's talk about your entry. I plan to let the Wen Xiu just now be your master. What do you think?"
Lu Chunying blinked and said, "Dad, do you want to hear the truth from me?"
"Do you even need to ask this?" Lu Dongliang glared, "Can you still lie to me?"
"Dad, if I tell the truth, I don't want to be a Wen Xiu."
"Why?" Lu Dongliang was stunned.
"Xiao Yeci is a scholar. I have followed her for so many years, but I always think she is a person with no future."
Lu Dongliang smiled and said, "Then what kind of people do you think have a future?"
"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Only when you have traveled all over the country can you be considered knowledgeable. Dad, I want to learn travel cultivation from you."
"You want to learn travel cultivation?" Lu Dongliang was surprised and happy, but worried that this girl could not bear the hardship. "You have to think about it. Travel cultivation is hard and you can't stay idle all day."
"Dad, I am so young, and I always want to hide away all day long. How long will I hide away?"
Lu Dongliang became happier and happier as he listened: "Yingying, since you have made up your mind, when do you plan to enter?"
Lu Chunying thought for a moment and said, "Today."
Lu Dongliang was surprised and said, "Today? Why are you so anxious?"
"If I wasn't worried that Dad would not agree, I would have wanted to enter a few days ago, and I couldn't wait."
Lu Dongliang smiled.
How does this child's temperament resemble him?
Even this impatience is very similar to him.
This can't be called impatience. Be quick when you should be quick and slow when you should be slow. This is called knowing your limits.
"Yingying, let's make a deal. I'll call the pharmacist to make some preparations for you. It's a bit painful to enter the door. Let him prepare the anesthetic for you first."
Lu Chunying shook her head and said, "No need for anesthetics. It will only hurt for a moment. Dad, did you use anesthetics when you entered the door?"
Lu Dongliang shook his head and said, "Your grandfather didn't let me learn travel cultivation. I went to a peddler to enter the door. There was no anesthetic. I just slapped the powder on my belly and gritted my teeth to get through it."
"Dad doesn't need it, and neither do I!"
Lu Dongliang shook his head and said, "No, I have no choice but to suffer. How can I let you suffer this?"
...
That night, Lu Chunying successfully entered the journey, and Lu Dongliang arranged for Xiao Yeci to meet Lu Chunying.
Seeing Lu Chunying, Xiao Yeci was very excited and asked with concern: "Nannan suffered a lot. It was very painful to enter. Does it still hurt now? Have you eaten anything..."
Lu Chunying looked at Xiao Yeci with a cold expression and said impatiently: "I called you here to tell you that our fate has come. We will live our own lives in the future. Thank you for taking care of me all these years. You should leave quickly."
Xiao Yeci looked at Lu Chunying in surprise and was speechless for a long time.
Lu Chunying took out a box with a hundred dollars in it and gave it to Xiao Yeci: "This is my gift. My dad will give you another sum of money when the time comes. Let's not meet again in the future."
Xiao Yeci's eyes turned red and she called out: "Nannan..."
"Take the money quickly. You need money for the trip." Lu Chunying turned her head away, not wanting to see her again.
Xiao Yeci took the box and left Lu Chunying's bedroom.
She didn't know how she walked back.
When she returned to her room, she stared at the box of dollars for a long time.
She really wanted to throw the box of dollars away and sneak out of the house.
Eat according to her face, go out according to her face, and even go to the toilet to relieve yourself.
All these can be tolerated, but Xiao Yeci can't tolerate Lu Chunying's attitude.
She felt that she had completely lost her dignity.
She was a first-level cultural cultivator. In the future, she could find a job to do casually, and live a more decent life than now.
But she finally opened the box.
Because she really didn't even have money for the trip.
There was a hundred dollars in the box, which was not a small amount, enough for Xiao Yeci to spend for a while.
There seemed to be something under the dollars.
It was a piece of paper.
Xiao Yeci unfolded it and saw that it said: "Mom, I'm in. Take a day off. Let's find a chance tomorrow night and run away!"
...
In the bedroom, Lu Chunying tightly grasped the sheets.
Choosing travel repair is to run fast.
Mom, you must open the box and take a look.
