Chapter 72 Spirit Tablet

After coming out of the bookstore, Ling Chu walked absentmindedly.

I was still thinking about Lu Chengliu in my heart.

According to the information found by Ning Chuyi and the discussions among the students in the academy, since Lu Chengliu broke his head, his performance has been far worse than before.

But shopkeeper Chen said that although Lu Chengliu injured his head, he had already recovered. He also guided shopkeeper Chen's son to write an article once.

Shopkeeper Chen's son also got the first grade for this reason and was highly praised by the master of the academy.

Students at the academy said that Lu Chengliu's handwriting was much worse than before because he injured his hand in a fall.

But while he was outside, he helped shopkeeper Chen copy dozens of books.

It would not be surprising if Lu Chengliu dressed differently in the academy and outside because of his difficult family background.

But what Lingchu didn't understand was why he lied to his master and classmates in the academy?

The injury on his head had obviously healed, and his hands were not injured, but he pretended that his grades had declined due to the injury, and his writing was not as good as before.

What good does this do him?

Ling Chu was really puzzled.

While she was lost in thought, she was suddenly hit on the shoulder.

When Ling Chu came back to her senses, she found a arrogant man blocking her in front of her and staring at her with a serious expression.

"Little girl, where are you going? Do you want to go home with your brother and ask him to take good care of you..."

After looking around, he realized that he had unknowingly walked into an alley.

Ling Chu looked at the ruffian in front of him coldly, "Good dogs don't block the way, get out of the way..."

Not only did the man not move away, he even pushed forward and said, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be such a fierce little beauty..."

Ling Chu was about to raise her foot and kick her over, but a man quickly ran over to block her from behind, "Girl, I'll stop him, you run."

Why does this voice sound familiar?

Ling Chu didn't run, but spared him and took two steps forward.

Seeing the man's face, Ling Chu looked stunned.

No wonder it sounded familiar, this man turned out to be Lu Chengliu.

"I advise you to mind your own business, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." The ruffian pulled out a short stick from his body and pointed at Lu Chengliu viciously.

Although he was nervous, Lu Chengliu still stood in front of Ling Chu and whispered, "Girl, hurry up."

Although his voice was low, the ruffian heard it, and with a wave of his hand, he hit him with the stick.

Lu Chengliu was afraid, but he didn't hide or dodge.

Ling Chu had no choice but to pull him aside. When the stick was swung down, he measured his body, raised his foot, and quickly kicked the gangster's wrist.

The ruffian's wrist hurt, and the stick fell to the ground with a clang.

While he was covering his wrist, Ling Chu quickly picked up the short stick and hit him without saying a word.

The man didn't expect that she would look so weak, but she would attack without mercy. His face changed with fear, and he turned around and ran away quickly.

Ling Chu felt regretful, threw away the stick and thanked Lu Chengliu, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

In the panic just now, Lu Chengliu didn't pay attention to who he was helping. Now that I saw her face clearly, I was surprised to find that she was the girl I met by chance in the bookstore.

Hearing Ling Chu thank him, he smiled bitterly and said, "Girl, there is no need to thank you. I didn't help."

He also didn't expect that this girl was so brave and could beat the ruffian away without him taking action.

Lu Chengliu picked up the bundle of firewood he had just thrown down on his back and said to Ling Chu, "Girl, you'd better go home quickly. This alley is relatively remote and not very safe. I don't know if the person just now will come back."

Ling Chu frowned and looked at the large bundle of firewood he carried on his back. Lu Chengliu's home was not close to here, so why did he come all the way here to buy firewood?

Seeing that he was still bending down to pick up the rice bag and basket of vegetables that were thrown on the ground, Ling Chu stepped forward and said, "Let me get it for you."

In any case, this man just stood up to protect her regardless of his own safety, and his character was not bad.

Lu Chengliu hurriedly shook his head, "No, my house is right in front. I can just take it back myself. Girl, go home quickly."

Ling Chu was surprised. He lived in front?

That's not right.

According to the address found by Mr. Ning, he clearly lives on Qingshi Street, five streets away from Changfeng Academy, which is half an hour's drive away.

But Lu Chengliu's expression didn't look like he was lying.

Since there are so many doubts, it is better to take the opportunity to inquire about it, so as to resolve Yu Xiuyue's matter as soon as possible.

Lingchu stepped forward quickly and picked up the vegetable basket, "It turns out that you live nearby, so let me help you take this vegetable back. I'm just waiting for the driver to pick me up at your house, so as not to run into that ruffian again."

Lu Chengliu felt it was inappropriate and wanted to refuse, but he was worried that if the gangster came back with someone just now, this girl might not be able to defeat him.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded in agreement.

Ling Chu carried the vegetable basket and followed Lu Chengliu through the alley. After turning two corners, he stopped in front of a low and dilapidated house.

The house was unlocked. Lu Chengliu reached out and pushed, and the two narrow wooden doors opened with a creak.

Lu Chengliu asked Ling Chu to come in shyly, and then put the bundle of firewood he was carrying in the yard.

To avoid suspicion, Lu Chengliu left the courtyard door open and did not invite Ling Chu to sit in the house. Instead, he moved a bench out of the house, placed it in the yard, and then turned back to prepare tea.

Ling Chu took advantage of him to enter the house and released Yu Xiuyue's puppet soul.

She kept the ghost of Yu Xiuyue in a container for a few days, and her consciousness recovered a lot.

Lu Chengliu brought out a bowl of water, "Miss, this is boiled water. I don't have tea at home, so you can just drink it."

Ling Chu thanked him, but didn't drink it after taking it.

Her eyes had long been attracted by a spirit tablet on the table in the yard.

Seeing Ling Chu staring at the spirit tablet, Lu Chengliu first took out a handkerchief and wiped the spirit tablet carefully, then took out an oil paper bag from the vegetable basket, opened it, and placed two meat buns in front of the spirit tablet.

Ling Chu glanced at Yu Xiuyue who was staring at the tablet, and asked Lu Chengliu, "What is on this tablet..."

When Lu Chengliu heard her mention the tablet, his expression was gloomy, "This is my fiancée. Originally, today was her birthday. I promised to cook longevity noodles for her and buy meat buns. It's a pity that she can't eat it now."

Yu Xiuyue's puppet soul stood aside, with an indifferent expression, indifferent to Lu Chengliu's words.

I don't know what happened between the two of them. The original engaged couple is now separated by Yin and Yang.

But no matter what it is, we have to ask clearly before we can solve it.

Taking advantage of the fact that Yu Xiuyue's ghost was also present, Ling Chu did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Excuse me, how did your fiancée die?"

Lu Chengliu clenched his fists, his eyes red, "She was killed by someone, I'm useless, and I can't help her get revenge so far."

Yu Xiuyue originally had a cold expression, but when she heard this, she roared angrily, "You lied, I was obviously killed by you, a heartless man..."
