Zhao Ke said that it was the kindness of her senior sister who saved Dongzi.
These words made Dongzi a little confused. Who is Zhao Ke's senior sister? Obviously the only one who saved him was a little girl, Xiaoju.
"Your senior sister?" Dongzi looked at Zhao Ke doubtfully and spoke with a puzzled look on his face.
"That's the Xiaoju you saw, she is my senior sister!" Zhao Ke said.
"Xiao Ju is your senior sister?" Dongzi widened her eyes and said, "Xiao Ju looks only fourteen or fifteen years old. You should look similar to me. You are two years older than Xiao Ju. She is actually your senior sister?"
"Who told you that Xiaoju is only fourteen or fifteen years old? Looking young does not mean that she is young, and being young does not mean that she is junior!" Zhao Ke said: "Xiaoju has been studying with the master since she was two years old. She is not my senior sister.
Could it be your senior sister?"
The corners of Dongzi's mouth twitched and she said nothing.
As Zhao Ke said this, he randomly found a big rock and sat down, "It's really tiring to talk to a fool like you."
"I'm not stupid!" Dongzi glared at Zhao Ke.
"Yes, you are not stupid, you are smart enough to think that you can save Lu Xiaohong with just your level of cultivation!" Zhao Ke mocked.
Dongzi was stunned again: "You know that I want to find the whereabouts of Lu Xiaohong? And you want to save him?"
"Hey, the Chen family and the Lian family are so narcissistic that they think Lian Ruowei is a fairy and all the men in the world want to be their son-in-law!" Zhao Ke sneered unceremoniously.
"Even if you don't like Ruowei, you are not allowed to insult her!" Dongzi glared at Zhao Ke.
"Oh, it turns out that you really want to become the grandson-in-law of the Chen family. It seems that my senior sister and I really saved the wrong person!" Zhao Ke said.
"It is true that I came here to find out the whereabouts of Brother Lu, but I do also like Ruowei very much." Dongzi lowered her head and replied with a guilty conscience.
As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Ke and said, "Who are you and that Xiao Ju? Did you also stay in the Chen family to save Brother Lu?"
Only then did Dongzi understand from Zhao Ke's words that Xiaoju saved him probably because he saw that he wanted to save Lu Xiaohong, not because he saved Xiaoju that day.
In this way, Xiao Ju and Zhao Ke should have the same goal as him, and they should be regarded as his own.
"You don't have to worry about who we are, we are just doing it casually to save Lao Lu." Zhao Ke replied.
Dongzi looked at Zhao Ke and said, "Then can you tell me, what happened to Brother Lu? Is it really what Xiaoju said, is it a poison? How can I solve it?"
"Only those who grow the poison can cure it, but my senior sister and I haven't found the person who got the poison yet." Zhao Ke replied.
"Why do they want to bewitch Brother Lu?"
Dongzi asked again: "Also, I saw that your cousin was pretending to be a woman. Who is that woman? I overheard her tone in the afternoon, and she seemed to want to take advantage of Brother Lu and me."
Zhao Ke looked at Dongzi without saying anything and took another long puff of cigarette.
Dongzi found that when he mentioned Zhao Ke's cousin, a ray of sadness flashed in Zhao Ke's eyes.
"Boy, sit over here and I'll ask you something."
After Zhao Ke was silent for a while, he looked around a few times, moved his buttocks, and exposed half of the big stone to Dongzi.
This was the first time that Dongzi saw Zhao Ke, who had always been careless and venomous, showing such a serious expression.
He didn't say anything anymore, walked over silently, sat down next to Zhao Ke, lit the cigarette he had been holding in his hand, and took a puff.
"Boy, who are you, Xiao Han? Who are you, Lu Xiaohong?" Zhao Ke turned his head and stared into Dongzi's eyes and asked.
"I am not a relative, but Xiao Han's daughter Hu Ling is my grandfather's apprentice. Hu Ling also saved my parents. Lu Xiaohong is Hu Ling's boyfriend and also saved my life."
Dongzi looked at Zhao Ke and said, "So Hu Ling is my aunt in terms of seniority, but although our family has no blood relationship with her, we are closer than blood relatives."
Zhao Ke stared into Dongzi's eyes and asked again: "I heard that you almost fell out with Lian Ruowei because of Lu Xiaohong?"
Dongzi nodded, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Then why did you come to Kyoto? Is it to recover Lian Ruowei or to find out about Lu Xiaohong?" Zhao Ke asked again.
"The original purpose was to help Hu Ling find out the reason for Lu Xiaohong's change of heart, but if Ruowei can forgive and understand me, I can't be sorry to Ruowei." Dongzi replied in a low voice.
"Haha, what a fool, I can't be sorry to Ruowei! I'm almost dead and I don't know yet!" Zhao Ke sneered.
Dongzi glanced at Zhao Ke, feeling a little embarrassed when he scolded him.
"Boy, do you know about Mantis?" Zhao Ke glanced at Dongzi's face and suddenly asked an inexplicable question.
"Praying mantis?" Dongzi was a little confused.
"Yes, Praying Mantis, did you read the encyclopedia when you were a child? Do you know anything about Praying Mantis?" Zhao Ke asked again.
"Are you talking about a praying mantis? That kind of green flying insect in the grass?" Dongzi didn't know what Zhao Ke meant when he suddenly asked, so in order to prove that he heard correctly, he asked.
"I fucking want to slap you. How come there is such a stupid person like you in the world!" Zhao Ke gritted his teeth, "Is there any other creature called a mantis in the world?"
Dongzi raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Ke, and said lightly: "You can't beat me!"
"What the fuck..."
Zhao Ke was so angry that Dongzi jumped up from the stone, stared at him and said: "I can't beat you, come on, do you dare that we don't need to be angry, let's fight again?"
"Don't be angry. I can't beat you, and I don't want to fight you. Now I just want to know how to save Brother Lu!"
Dongzi shook his head and said: "And now I know that you are not a bad person, and I don't fight with good people!"
"What a fool! If you still want to save Lao Lu, save yourself first. Lao Lu is from our Tianshi Mansion. We will not allow that woman to destroy Lao Lu!"
Zhao Ke shook his head and sat back on the stone, took out another cigarette and lit it.
"Save myself? What do you mean?" Dongzi asked.
"literal meaning!"
Zhao Ke took a puff of smoke angrily and said, "I just asked you, first tell me if you know about Mantis?"
"Of course I know. There are a lot of green bugs in our Liuqiao Village. We often played with that thing when we were children. After killing it, a black thread would emerge from its belly. That black thread
It's still alive, twisting around, and has to be burned to death!"
Dongzi replied.
"That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is the survival rules of the mantis. Do you know?" Zhao Ke sighed deeply and asked rather helplessly.
